Monday Evening.
The Situation at the Front, is unchanged, and
will of course remain so, until the end of the truce.
What movements will be made by the Yankees,
upon the resumption of the campaign, are still
undeveloped. Exiles from Atlanta* are still coming
through. It is stated, with how much truth, we
do not know, that immediately upon the occupa
tion of Atlanta, Sherman dispatched two whole
corps northward. Whether they, were sent te re
inforce Grant, or to make the communications
secure to Nashville, has not yet trauspired.—
Rebel, 1 6th,
[Special Correspondence of the Daily Telegraph.]
Arrival at the Front.
Loyejoy’s, Sept. 17th, 1864.
Having some special business to transact, I left
your good city on yesterday morning, and arrived
at this point about three last evening. At Griffin
I met Messrs. Waterson %nd Roberts, both well
known gentlemen of the quill, and with them pro
ceeded to Army Headquarters, where I found
everything quiet; General Hood apparently in
good spirits, and tha troops so far as I could judge
sharing the confidence of their commander, and
only waiting until the expiration of the truce to
give Sherman another chance to try their mettal.
THE CAMPAIGN
Is not yet ended by any means. As soon as the
truce expires you will hear of movements that will
delight and electrify the Confederate people, and
astound the Yankee nation, which is under the im
pression that Hood’s army is demoralized and unfit
for any further effective service. The error into
which our enemy has fallen, from this supposition
will be found out before long in a manner far differ
ent from what you or your readers could imagine.
I regret that prudence dictates silence on the sub
ject ; otherwise I could give you a great deal of
very interesting news, but you and your readers
must wait patiently and before the first days of
October have passed you will all become acquainted
with what is going to ba done, without any inform
ing. Os one thing you may be certain : Hood is
aiot going to retreat to Macon or anywhere else,
GEN. shoup. *
This officer has been relieved from command in
consequence of disobedience of orders, which re
sulted in the destruction and loss of a large amount
of ordnance stores and small arms, as well as the
less of eighty-five cars and three engines. It ap
pears that General Hood gave orders for no trains
to proceed higher than Jonesboro, and Shoup dis
cbeyod the order. Report says he will be oasblered;
if so, he will be the first General officer In eur army
who has lost his commission that way, and it is
much to be regretted for the sake of the service, as
well as of the General.
WAR NEWS.
There is no war news of any interest to write
you, iu consequence of thoexisting truce. I learn
that no trains have arrived in Atlanta from Chat
tanooga for two or three days, in consequence es
the road being torn up by our cavalry. Wheeler
is represented to be still in Tennessee, raiding on
the railroads. Beyond this I know nothing.
INTERESTING TO TENNESSEEANS.
Andy Johnson, Lincoln’s Military Governor of
Tennessee, has issued a proclamation, ordering
every able-bodied man, “white aad colored” to be
enrolled in the State Militia for service against tho
rebel guerrillas. This proclamation will have the
effect of filling the ranks of Forrest’s command,
which is now, or will shortly bo, in Middle Tennes
see. The Nashville Union, of the 13th, contains
this proclamation, and, as a matter of course, the
abolition editor endorses it.
TRANSFERRED TO CAVALRY.
Lewis’ Kentucky brigade is being mounted, and
will henceforth act as cavalry. The men are quite
delighted at the change, as it will give them a
chance to visit their homes, from which they have
been absent for three years.
Nothing more to write. St. Clair.
Wheeler in North Alabama. —Letters from
Huntsville and vicinity, says the Dispatch, dated
frem the Ist to the4th inst., state that Gen. Wheeler
(by Yankee report) had captured Tullahoma, on
the 29th ult., with 800 prisoners. He then moved
in the direction of the Alabama line, and on the
4th, was reported fighting Rosseau at Wooley
Springs, 20 miles from Huntsville. The reports
say that Roddy joined Wheeler on the Ist instant,
and that they had played havoc with the raiders.
It is said that the combined forces of. Wheelor and
Roddy will be able to meet any force tho Yankees
may have in pursuit, and will continue the good
work, in which they have been so successful thus
far.— Selma Jfississippian, 12th.
[From the Richmond Dispatch, 14th.]
TSie War News.
There was norumorin circulation yesterday,
nor a single important item of news afloat, so
far as we could ascertain. The general situa
tion at the three most interesting points in the
Confederacy is unchanged, though it is not
improbable that the present quiet may soon
be broken by the thunder of battle.
FROM PETERSBURG. ■
The enemy’s heaiyr mortars shelled the city
on Monday night, and the bombardment was
renewned to some extent yesterday morning.
The Yankees were doubtless aware that yes
terday was to be observed in Petersburg as a
day of fasting and prayer, and it was in per
fect keeping with their nature to endeavor to
interrupt the devotions of the people.
Deserters and prisoners have informed the
enemy that General Lee has moved his head
quarters from Richmond to the neighborhood
of Reams’ station, on the Weldon railroad,
with the avowed intention of giving battle. It
is not very likely that Gen. Lee would com
municate his plans to the aforesaid “deserters
and prisoners,” and, as a matter of course,
their story was purely an invention of their
own. Yet the Yankee correspondents say
that a terrific battle is expected at any mo*
ment all along the lines. For our own part,
.however, we see no indications of any active
movements for some days to come, unless, in
deed, they shall be initiated by the enemy,
which is hardly probable, as it is known that
Grant is passively awaiting reinforcements to
enable him to “crush the rebellion” at one
blow. That this is his plan is foreshadowed
by his own declaration, and that he will be
foiled we a3 firmly believe as we believe to
morrow's sun will rise.
The Davis house, on the Weldon railroad,
was set on fire by the enemy on Monday after
noon and completely destroyed. The reason
for this wanton act does not appear, though
it is in imitation of the practice which has
marked the progress of the Yankees through
out the war. On the farm of Mr. Davis, and
in full view of his residence, three battles have
lately been fought for the possession of the
Weldon railroad, in each of which, as the
reader will remember, the enemy was driven
back to his main line of works. The house,
therefore, has become somewhat famous, and
will pass into history as making one of the
noted spots of this, the bloodiest campaign of
the war. It was situated in a pleasant grove,
immediately on the railroad, two miles and a
half sooth of Petersburg.
The activity of the enemy and the magni
tude of hi» operations on the Southside is
well illustrated by a view of the shipping at
City Point. Vessels of every class are con
stantly seen moving up and down the river,
while others are anchared out in, the stream,
or moored at the wharf discharging fieight or
receiving the wounded of Grant’s army, to be
transferred North. An immense wharf has
been constructed, and large warehouses have
sprung up in every direction. The branch
railroad from the City Point track to the Yel
low Tavern has been ompleted as far as the
Jerusalem plankroad, and trains are now run
ning to the latter point. The Northern papers
inform us that the traia was opened upon by
the rebels last Thursday with a powerful bat*
$5.00 Per Month
tery. and that sundry Yankees narrowly es
caped with their lives.
THS LATEST.
Passengers by last evening’s train reported
that yesterday was remarkably quiat, not more
than five or six guns having been fired #uring
the day. We can only say that the Yankees,
in failing to disturb the religious services of
the day, differed vejg materially from their
usual practice on such occasions.* The situa
tion in front continues unchanged.
BAST TENNESSEE.
Since the affair at Greenville, nothing of
importance has occurred in the Department
of East Tennessee. The enemy, at last ac
counts, was at Bull’s Gap. After the death
of General Morgan, General Vaughan was
placed in command of cavalry of that
department. Brigadier General Cosby, late
of the Army of Tennessee, having reported for
duty, has been to the command of
Hodge’s brigade. MDoionel Basil W. Duke, an
officer of rare merit and gallantrv, is tow com
manding Morgan’s troops. General Echols
has done much towards the restoration oflaw
and order in the department.
FROM TRANS-MISSISSIPPI.
We get occasional reports through Northern
papers of the active operations of the Confed
erate forces west of the Mississippi. The la
test comes from Memphis, in the shape of a
statemeut that the Federal gunboats Hastings
and Naumkeag were captured below Claren
don, White River, Arkansas, and Captain
Rogers, of the latter, killed. It is also repor
ted that another gunboat, name not given, was
sunk at St. Charles, and that Duvall’s Bluff
was threatened by a considerable force of
rebels. A Little Rock paper contains the par
ticulars of a recent raid at Duvall’s Bluff
which is situated on the Little Rock railroad!
Large quantities of Government hay were
burned, other property was destroyed, and
some damage to the railroad inflicted.
♦ ♦ ——
From Atlanta. —Refugees report generally
kind personal treatment from General Sher
man and his officers. Whatever exceptions
may have occurred, have been in violation of
orders— instance* of individual pilfering,
which cannot always be prevented in an army,
and in many oases have been detected and
punished.
A friend whose wife was left an invalid in
Atlanta, and came within our lines a day or
two since, says that at her request, General
Sherman came to see her, and finding her un
able to attend to the arrangement of her mov
ables for transportation, had them all boxed
up nicely and transported to our lines, even
to her wash-tubs.
The Federal General held three hours con
versation with her and justified at length his
order for the removal—insisting that, in his
exposed position—liable to be cut off and be
sieged, it waß the part of humanity to require
that non-combatants should not be exposed to
the privations and perils to which his array
must probably be subjected—and worse, bes
cause he could not provide food for a large
population. Goods left behind were stored,

Refugees report that Sherman’s army is go
ing North by thousands and bis force is now
very small. Whether this movement is con
fined to men who are going out of service, or
embraces reinforcements to Grant, they were
unable to say. —Macon Telegraph, 11th.
The Nashville Times of the 13th inst., fur
nishes these items. As to their reliability, is
only necessary to mention that they emanate
from the sanctum of a Yankee editor :

Latest from the IVortli.
The New York Herald of Saturday last, the 10th
instant, has beqji received. It is altogether devoid
of news. The situation with Grant and Sheridan is
without change:
The Herald says if it can judge from the informa
tion which reaches it from different quarters, the
£ resent calm only indicates the coming storm. Gen.
iee is said to have changed his headquarters from
Richmond to the vicinity of Reams’ Station, cn the
Weldon railroad. A battle of a terrible character
is expected to take place there at any moment. —
The same intelligence comes from Bermuda Hun
dred, per Butler the Beast, who has returned from
the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
From Harper’s Ferry, the Herald learns that au
thentic accounts had reached there to the effect that
all the guerrilla companies in Northwestern Vir-
Sinia, including Mosby’s (the most notorious of all,)
ave been ordered te eppairforth with to Richmond,
to take part in a grand attack which is now being
prepared against General Grant’s army. 'lt is said
that part of General Hood’s defeated Georgia army
has already arrived at Richmond for the same pur
pose. Grant is said to be cool as an iceburg amid
all these exciting rumors, and folly prepared for the
attack.
There is nothing from Sherman or Wheeler, and
the presumption is that the wires out that wa7 are
not working.
The branch railroad from the City Point track
around to the Yellow Tavern has been completed
as far as the Jerusalem plankroad, and the trains
are running to the latter point
The Herald’s dispatch carrier was on the tram at
the plankroad last Thursday when the rebels open
ed upon it with a powerful battery, and sundry lan -
kees narrowly escaped with their lives.
Great uneasiness prevails at Havana' and Key
West for the safety of the United States steamer
Dacotah. It is feared she has been captured by the
rebel privateer Electric Spark.
The steam transport Nightingale, from Key Wast,
which arrived at New York on Friday, reports that,
on the 6th instant, she was followed by a Clyde
built side-wheel steamer, supposed to be a rebel
privateer, but she outsailed her.
The gold market was very much excited on Fri

Recruits. —The Richmond Sentinel, of the 13th,
says: We have accounts of lecruits to our arm/
pouring in from beyond the lines, which are very
cheering, but the details .of which it would not be
prudent to publish. We extend to these brave al
lies a hearty welcome, and accerd to them their
merited praise.
McClellan’s Fetter of Accep
tance.
The following is the letter of General McClel
lan to the eemmittee aaneuncing his aominadea
for the Yankee Presidency by the Chicago Con
veation :
Orangb, NbwJersbt, Sept, t, 1864.
GenUsasen: I have the hoaor te ackaowledge
t*e receipt es your letter interning me of mr
nominetiea by the Democratic National Convea
tioa, rwseatly assembled at. Chicago, a* their can
*****«■« >*.
It is unnecessary for me to aay te you that this
nomination comas to me unsought. I am happy
te kiow that, when the nomination was made, the
record of my public life was kept in view.
The effect of long and varied service in the army,
during war and peace, has been to strengthen and
make indelible in my mind and heart the lore and
revereuoe for the Union, Constitution, laws and
flag es our country, impressed upon me in early
yonth. These feelings have thus far guided tha
course of my life, and must continue te do so to
its end.
The existence of more than one government
ever the region which once owned our flag is in
compatible with the peace, the power, and the
happiness of the people.
The preservation of our Union was the sole
HTowed object for which the war was commenced.
It should have been conducted for that object
only, and in accordance with these principles whioh
I took occasion te declare Vnien in active ser
vice.
Thus conducted, the work of reconciliation
would havo been q»3y, and we might have reap
ed the benefits ol our many victories on land and
sea.
The Uniop was originally formed by th**exer
cise of a spirit of conciliation and compromise.
To restore and preserve it, the same spirit must
prevail in our councils and in the hearts of tha
people. The re-establishment es tho Union in all
Us integrity is, and must continue to be, the indis
pensable condition iwany settlement. So soon as
it is clear, or even probable, that our present ad
versaries are ready forpeaco upon the basis of the
Union, we should exhaust all the resource of states
manship praticed by civilized nations, and taught
by the traditions of the American people, consis
tent with the honor and interest of the country,
to secure such peace, re-establish the Union, and
guarantee ter the future tho constitutional rights
of every State. The Union is the one condition of
peace; we ask no more.
Let me add, what I doubt not was, although
unexpressed, the sentiment of the convention, as
it is of the people they represent, that when any
one State is willing to return to the Unien, it
should be received at once, with a full guarantee
of all its constitutional rights.
If a frank, tamest, and persistent effort to ob
tain these objects should fail, the responsibility ter
ulterior consequences will fall upon those who re
main in arms against the Union ; but the Union
must be preserved at all hazards.
I could not look in the face of my gallant com
rades of the army and navy, who have survived
so many bloody battles, and tell .them that their
labors and tbe sacrifice of so many of eur slain
and wounded brethren had been in vain—that we
had abandoned that Unioif for which we have so
often periled our lives. A vast majority of our peo
ple, whether in the army and navy or at home,
would as I would, hail with unbounded joy the
permanent restoration of peace on the basis of the
Union, under the Constitution, without tho effusion
of another drop of blood. But no peace can be
permanent without union.
As to the other subjects presented in the resolu
tions of the convention, I need only say that I
should seek in the Constitution of the United States,
and the laws framed in accordance therewith, the
rule of my duty and tho limitations of executive
power; endeavor to restore economy in the public
expenditures, re-establish tho supremacy.of law,
and, by tho operation of more vigorous nationality,
resume our commanding position among the na
tions of th# earth.
The condition of our finances, the depreciation
of the paper money, and the burden thereby im
posed on labor hud capital, show .the necessity of
a return to a sound, financial system ; while the
rights of citizens and the rights of States, and the
binding authority oflaw over President, army and
people, are subjects of not less vital importance in
war than in peace. Believing that th# views here
expressed are those of the convention and the
people you represent, I accept the domination.
I realize the weight of the responsibility to be
borne should the people ratify your choice. Con
scious of my own weakness, I can only seek fer
vently tho guidance of tho Ruler of the Universe,
and, relying on His all-powerful aid, do my best
to restore union and peace to a suffering people,
and to establish and guard their liberties and
rights.
I am, gentlemen, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
George B. McClellan.
Hon. Horatio Seymour and others, Committee.

A Fatal Shooting Affray.—A shooting
affray occurred in Hamburg on Thursday
morning, between Col. J. D. Twiggs and a man
named ButFer and his son. There are vari
ous versions to the affair, and we therefore
await the legal examination before we give
any. It resulted, however, we are told, in
the mortally wounding of Mr. Butler’s son
and the instant death of Col. Twiggs. The
former died from the effects of his wound in
the evening.— Chron. 4 Sentinel.
The literary column of a recent Yankee
paper contains the following notice of “Ma
caria:”
One of the most pretentious novels which
the war has produced is said to have emana
ted from the rattle-brained Southern authoress,
Miss Evans, who wrote “Beulah,” which ap«
peared a few years ago. Miss Evans’ new
novelis called “Macaria,” and was originally
published in Richmond, and now comes re
produced by John Bradburn, of New York.—
The work is so rampantly rebellious that cer
tain Western booksellers returned to the New
York publishers all the copies they had re
ceived from him. “Asa literary production,”
the New York Post says: “Macaria is at
least equal to Miss Evans’ previous works and
however repugnant it may be to loyalty to
learn that such a rebel book can find publieh
er and readers in the North, yet it must be said
this is the most carefully written novel that
the war has suggested to the novelists of eith
er side.”
On Dit. —lt is reported all over town that General
Sherman has invited Governor Brown, Hon. A. H.
Stephens and Hon. Herschel V. Johnson to meet
him in Atlanta and discuss “the State of the coun
try,” with the conviction on the General’s part that
peace can bo made in fifteen minutes as the result of
their joint labors. We understand this report orig
inates with the gentleman who has been bearer of
dispatches between Generals Hood and Sherman
previous to and pending tho truce. We may hear
more of this before going to press.— Macon Tele
graph, 17 th.
This brief but beautiful passage occur* in an
article ihFrazier’s Magazine:
Education does not commence with the alphabet.
It begins with a mother’s look—with a father’s nod
of approbation or a sign of reproof—with a sister’s
gentle pressure of the hand, or a brother’s noble
act of forbearance—with handfulls of flowers in
green and daisy meadows —with bird’s nests ad
mired but not touched—with creeping ants and al
most imperceptible eminets—with humming bees
and glass beehives —with pleasant walks in shady
lanes —and with thonght directed in sweet and
kindly tones, and werds to matnre the acts of be
nevolence, to deeds es virtue, and to the sense of
all good to God himself.
