Gmn. Beauregard.— The Charleston Mercury of
yesterday congratulates its readers upon information
it has received from “a source deemed unquestion
able,” that President Davis has tendered to Gen.
Beauregard the command of the Army of Tenn
essee. This result, it learns, has been brought about
by the earnest intervention and counsel es General
Lee. *
Wc hail with delight this announcement, because
the appointment of this gallant chieftain will have
the effect of inspiring his confidence among the
troops of that army. His past success upo* every
battle field is an earnest of ability to redeem the
glorious old commonwealth of Georgia from the spo
liation of the Yankee hordes and the desecration es
our homes and firesides.
Sherman has torn down all the frame buil
dings on Whiteh.Hi street, in Atlanta, and is
using the material for building huts for his
soldiers. It is to be hoped that he will short
ly be called upon to settle for his board.
From tlie Front.
One thousand prisoners were exchanged at
Rough and Ready yesterday morning. Among
them is Gen. Govan. They were captured in
the battle of Jonesboro. They had reached
Nashville and were then ordered back to At
lanta.
These prisoners report the railroad repaired
and in perfect running order between Nash
ville and Atlanta and all bridges strongly
guarded. They met a large number of Sher
man’s men returning home, but say the Yan
kees are as thick as bees in Atlanta, and that
Sherman has still a large army.
There had been no general movement of the
Yankee army up to Tuesday night.
The oath was freely tendered to our prison
ers upon their arrival at Atlanta and we are
sorry to state that quite a number availed
themselves of that opportunity to make them
selves infamous.
Chattanooga and Dalton are garrisoned by
three brigades of negroes. They were insolent
to our men. The streets df Chattanooga are
patroled by negro sentinels to whom all white
men are compelled to show passes.
The prisoners noticed a pile of railroad iron
in Atlanta large enough, to use their own
language, to build the road from Atlanta to
Nashville. And all along the line there were
piles of Railroad iron, cross ties, bridge tim
ber, <s’c.
On the trip from Chattanooga to Nashville,
several of Lewis’ Kentucky Bridade made their
escape by cutting holes in the bottoms'of the
cars.— Rebel j 22c/.
Tub Georgia J?ront. —Our army is now firmly
established in its now position—the left resting on
the Chattahoochee river and the line crossing the
West Point Road, between Fairburne and Palmet
to. The cavalry on our right is on the Macon road
and will attend to any raiding parties which the
enemy may undertake to dispatch in this direction.
Our army is represented as iu excellent spirits,
while that of the enemy is said to be suffering for
want of their accustomed rations and a prey to
apprehensions that their situation is by no means
secure —Macon Telegraph, 21.
A Mew Cagsapasg-sa.
When Gen. Sherman had accomplished the
capture of Atlanta and occupied it with his
troops, we predicted that he would not find it
so valuable an acquisition as he and his gov
ernment had hoped it would prove. It was
easy to understand that it could only be im
portant in a military point of view as a base
for future operations, as a depot of supplies,
and a central point from which he could pro
ject his armies at will in every direction. To
make it such a point, it is absolutely essential
that his line of communication should be made
secure beyond the possibility of interruption,
and this could not be hoped for with so long
a line. An enterprising enemy can at any
time interpose a sufficient force between him
and the sources of his supplies and reinforce
ments to put him and his army to serious in
convenience if not in actual jeopardy, and
thus impair his ability for offensive operations
if indeed, it did not force him to abandon bis
position.
But it is not likely that the idea ever oc
curred to Sherman, that the array which had
so long retreated before him, from Dalton to
Atlauta. would dare to assume the offensive
and open anew campaign so different from
any (hat had proceeded if, that all his weil
laid plans would be confused and overthrown,
and he be compelled to be guided by the strat
egy of his enemy instead or forcing his strat
egy upon that enemy as heretofore. Yet the
strange event may possibly occur. It is cer
tain «that the army of Tennessee will not long
stand on the defensive, and that it will soon,
if it has not already, be found making a move
ment which will set ali former calculations at
defiance. This movement may, and probabLy
will compel Sherman to move the bulk of his
army from Atianla, and prevent the march ot
any portion of his troops, towards the South.
Rumor says that a brilliant and stirring cam
paign, pregnant with great events, is even now
in process, and from it much of advantage is
hoped and expected for the Confederate cause.
If Providence but smiles upon the plans now
being so vigorously put into execution the
aspect of war will soon be entirely changed,
and hostilities be far removed from their pre
sent field. Under these circumstances, At
lauta will prove a worthless prize, and the
Yankee Government will find that there is
life in the rebellion yet. — Griffin Rebel, 22<7.
Cheering. —We are glad to see that the pub
lic mind has recovered from the temporary
despondency caused by the fall of Atlanta and
seem rpsolved not to rest satisfied with simply
preventing the further advance of the enemy,
but are demanding his expulsion from the
Gate City. It is not at all improbable that
this may be effected and we shall then have
greater cause for exultation than had
of the felon foe never trod the streets of Atlan
ta. We are in receipt of information which
we consider reliable, which if it were politic
to be made public, would cause a thrill of joy
in the heart of every man, woman and child
in Georgia. Wait! and as the Frenchman
said, “ve shall see, vat ve shall see." —Macon
Telegraph , 21«f.
Special Correspondence Chronicle & Sentinel.
From Sberman’s Rear.
Athens, Ga., Sept. 15, 1864.
We have seen recent authentic intelligence
from the line of railroad in Sherman's rear
no master how obtained—which may be of
some interest to your readers.
The families ot our soldiers, and others who
are absent on account of the presence ot
the enemy, are doing much better than aay
one not acquainted with, the fact should sup
pose. Where they have remained at horn*
and been quiet, there are not great many in
stances of brutal treatment, except immediate
ly oa the line of rail ro.i , where nearly every
one ha? been more or less illy used. They
hare better means of procuring food than is
generally supposed, and neatly all hare plenty.
iSome have suffered because of their male rel
atives and friends going back to them. In
every such case, the whole family at once be
come an object of suspicion and persecution
by the Yankees, Yankee negroes and a few
tories there. We are assured that it is iadefi
nitely better, for men whose families are there,
never to go about them, or go into the coan
tTJ‘
The torie* of late are being excessively un
easy. Notwithstanding Sherman has taken
Atlanta, they are deeply impressed with the
idea that the safest place for them is beyond
the Ohio river, and many are making every
effort to get there. All such, or nearly so,
would have been gone before now, but for the
difficulty in obtaining transportation.
The Yankees run no passenger trains, and
the transportation is almost wholly monopo
lized by the army. They have an iron-clad
car on the State road, having the engine with
in the car, which patrols and scouts the road
from Marietta to Chattannoga. A number of
officers are always observed on board this
bomb-proof concern. «
The people in the vicinity of the road are
visited with the direst vengeance—the most
wholesale destruction of houses and property
and abuse of person—every time the road is
injuied. No matter who may do the damage ;
no matter how well the villians know the par
ties whom they thus punish to be innocent;
the entire community in which the damage is
done, is visited with fire and sword and the
most complete desolation In tbis way the
cowards think to deter any oue from running
their train* off the track, or in any way inter
fering with their transportation.
The crops throughout all Northwest Geor
gia are very fine.
Wheeler’s operations on the road stopped
the running through of the trains for sixday3.
To all outward appearances, there is the most
glorious opportunity to cut off effectually, all
supplies from the enemy, and indeed, their en
tire communicatioa. It requires only a skill
ful, daring commander, like Forrest or Ashby,
to move the Yankees from Atlanta with the
same speed they employed in getting out of
the way at the battle of Manassas on the 21st
of July, 1861. We will not, in this public way,
particularize, or tell where the exposed points
are, or how approached, but rest content with
what we have already said.
The people are cheerful and hopeful, and
bear their ills with heroic fortitude, looking
confidently for the day of deliverance to ar
rive very seon.
The Yankees have lately ordered all males
within five miles of the road to be taken up,
enrolled, and set to work ou it.
Georgia.
THie Charage of Position In
Georgia.
It is now no longer a secret that our army has
changed its position and is entrenched on the
Montgomery aud West Point road. There is no
reason why the movement should excite the fears
and doubts of the people of this section of country,
or cause the weak-kneed to become more tremu
lous than usual.
Before the evacuation of Atlanta, Macon and
the surrounding country, were more or less ex
posed, as was proven by the Stoneman expedition,
to raiders from tho enemy. Concentrating then
cavalry at night aud moving noiselessly around
either flank of our army, the enemy could get many
hours start of our cavalry and commit numberless
depredations be foie they could be overtaken. As
wo were constantly liable to these marauding ex
peditions, it became imperatively necessary that
locakorganizationg should be formed to resist and
hold in check tho forces of tho enemy, until our
cavalry could hasten to tho scene of hostilities.—
Tho necessity of these local organizations and
their good effect, were well illustrated in the Stone
man raid. The determined resistance offered by
them to the advance of tho enemy, enabled our
cavalry to catch up with the raiders and capture or
put to flight their whole force.
By the removal of our army to the West Point
road, Macon is no more exposed to raids than be
fore. It will still he liable to such incursions as the
enemy have the enterprise and boldness to under
take, and will still be enabled to protect herself as
she has hitherto done.
The present position of our army precludes, we
think, the probability of Sherman’s forces attempt
ing a move in this direction. Should they essay
so hazardous an undertaking, tb.eir flank and rear
would be exposed to immediate attack by our
army, and the result, with such an advantage in
our favor, could bar .ly be doubtful. If any one
will examine the map, they will perceive that, in
the present position of the two armies, Macon is
better protected than when our forces wore at
Jonesboro.
I The fact, which we eonsidor reliable, that the
enemy are entirely without meat, and their draft
animals perishing by hundreds for want of corn
and forage, will render any immediate move on
their part impossible. Wo think the “old women
of both sexes” in Macon may sleep in peace. Let
courage be restored to their hearts and the silver
spoons to their tables. Macon is certainly safe
from the Yankees for the present. —Macon Con
federate and Telegraph.
European Mews
The following embraces all the news of in
terest by the latest arrival from Southamp
ton :
AMERICAN AFFAIRE.
Great anxiety was expressed in England to
learn the result of the proceedings of the Chi
cago Convention, the organization of the
Peace Conference at Syracuse.havingjustbeen
announced in London. General McClellan’s
name was freely mentioned as the probable
nominee of the Democrats for President; but
it is generally conceded that he would not ac
cept a “peace platform,” and that if elected
he would seek to continue the war, if only (o
“retrieve his military reputation.”
The special correspondents of the London
Times, and Telegraph, supply interesting let D
ters concerning the meeting of the rebel com
missioners aud Nothern peace delegates at
Niagara Falls. The writers are evidently dis
appointed at the resulfa of the assemblage,
but seem to find consolation in holding the
opinion that there are “gloomy” and trouble
some days in store, for the North.
THE BELFAST RIOTS.
It is ascertained that about 150 persons were
more or less injured during the riols in Bel
fast, Ireland, and that in nine cases the
injuries have resulted in death.
RUMORS OF INTERVENTION.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times, dated August3o, says;
The rumors that France will make a third
attempt at intervention in the American strug
gle, seems now highly probable. It will be
anew proof of the efficacy of the diplomatic
system, which consists in allowing questions
to ripen, in order that their suits may be cull
ed when they have arrived at maturity. If at
the commencement, Franee had recognized the
Southern States* she would have offended the
sentiments ot many on account of the question
of slavery. But now that every oue is certain
•that abolition has no part in the American
quarrel, there are few who would not rejoice
that the independence of a-nation, which has
certainly displayed as much courage and en

great skill should be recognized.
Our boys in Georgia, while aot afraid of
Sherman, yet give him full credit for ability as
a manager. An officer relates that in camp,
recently, the conversation turned upon Wuee
ler’s operations in the vankee rear, some ex
pressing great confidence in the success of
the expedition, others depreciating its results.
“But.” says one. “Wheeler has certainly

“Sherman hri got a duplicate of it.”

i the Democrats. It is supposed that this letter
i will appear in the New Nation on Saturday
i next.

PEACE RUMORS—A NEW DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
TO BE CALLED.
We make the following extracts from the
Inquirer's New York letter of the 13th :
“Rumors” of peace commissioners from
Washington to Richmond were revived in
“the street” this afternoon, but nobody was
found verdant enough to believe them.
The geld gamblers—l mean those of them
who have been operating for a fall—were rath
er sorely pressed in tbe fore part of the day
by the bulls, and these peace rumors doubt
less are but a trick to give the market a twist
more to their liking. The general public gives
no ear now to yarns of that character. They
kuow very well that the only real peace com
missioners are Grant, Sherman and Farragut,
and that the only “treating” for an armistice
haust be done, not by civilians, but through
them, at the cannon’s mouth.
The Daily News, you will see, in its issue
of this morning, has this significant para
graph :
“We are happy in being able to state that
preliminary steps are being taken by the
friends of Peace to call a National Convention
of the Democracy, to place in nomination can
didates for President and Vice-President.”
The “preliminary steps,” above referred to,
are understood to be, first, a correspondence
between the Woods here, and the Chairman
of the Democratic National Committee ; the
former asking the latter' to re-convene tlffe
Chieago Convention, aud the latter begging
leave to decline; second, the consideration of
a call from the party of the second part upon
all delegates to that Convention, who are in
favor of tbe platform, to assemble in the same
city to nominate candidates for President and
Vice-President; and. third, the appointment
of a committee to wait at once upon Mr. Pen
dleton, to see whether he, too, stands by or
repudiates the platform.
Tiie Peace D®inocracy-“-Ati
otlier Convention to be called.
The New York News of the 13th, states that
“preliminary step3 are being taken by the friends
of peace to call a National Convention of the Dem
ocracy, to place ia nomination candidates for Pre
sident and Vice President. In its leader of the
same day, the News says .
But the advocates of peace are wedded to a
principle which goes side by side with and is inse
parable from their devotion of the Union, the
great principle of self-government, the consecrated
American principle that all legitimate government
is derived from tho consent of the governed. Rest
ing upon this, which they believe to ba the histo
rical corner-stone of their free institutions they
believe the idea of a Union brought about by force
to be, intrinsically, a profligate absurdity. They
believe that war can never rebuild the blessed
fabric raised for us by our fathers, which the
bloody bauds of fanaticism and violence have al
ready shattered into ruins. They believe that we
cannot fight free men into loving us—that we can
not slaughter and trample them into brotherhood
with us; and that, even if wo could, we should be
immeasurably more infamous than they. The
Peace Democracy believe further, that the armed
coercion of States is a constitutional heresy, and
that it cannot bo consummated without striking a
vital blow at the first principles of the Federal
compact, and consolidating a despotism at Wash
ington in the stead @f the benignant and limited
power which was meant to foster the peaceful
Union of happy and consenting State?.
These conditions, as an organ of the Peaoe Dem
ocracy, the Daily News has never ceased to pro
mulgate and defend. They arc tbe solemn creed
of the good men and true for whom it speaks.—
Every event of the cursed war which is upon us
ba3 illustrated and confirmed their truth, and if the
World and its coreligionists in blood had dedicated
themselves to the support of such principles, in
stead of scattering tne internal seeds of barbarity
and hate, we should not now be at the melancholy
point where the Democratic party and its candi
date are disputing, with abolitionism and its repre
sentatives, the palm of devotion to a policy of ex
termination. We use this language deliberately
and advisedly. General McClellan's vyords and
purposes cannot be mistaken or misunderstood.—
After seeming to “exhaust the recourses of
maaship” to re establish the Union, ho says :
“ If a frank, earnest and persistent effort to ob
tain these objects should fail, the responsibility
for ulterior consequences will fall upon those who
remain in arms against the Union. But the
Union must be preserved at all hazards.”
“To what “ulterior consequences” does he allude,
and what “hazards”? lie means war, and no hon
est man will pretend that he means anything else.
If he had been frank, be would have used the
word. He means that if ho cannot reconstruct the
Union by negotiation—nay, more, to use his own
language in another part of the letter, if the peo
ple of the South are not “ready for peace on the
basis of the Union” as a condition precedent to
negotiation —the consequences will be on their own
heads, and he will make war on them until they
yield. They may have solemnly declared by State
Conventions or otherwise, that they will not re
enter into a common government with u« ; the
people may be a3 fixed and unanimous as their
leaders ; they may have resolved to have indepen
dence or death, as Mr. Davi? has recently declared,
still, Gen. McClellan is pledged to overthrow their
resolves by fire and sword. Ho is pledged to fight
and slay them till they surrender the principle of
choosing their own form of government. He is
pledged to an interminable strife, if there is per
manent resistance. He is pledged to carnage and
devastation —to all the appliances of ruin and over
throw, which are within the “hazards” and curses
of civil conflict. He has nofixed point, but UnioD,
of which he will stay the tide .of blood.
To a policy so wicked, so inhumanly absurd, we
cannot, nor can any Peace Dorafcrat, subscribe,
without renegading from every conviction and
from every instinct of self-respect. We should
be false to all we have learned and all that we
have taught, if wo were not to spurn and denounce
it, come what may. We covei sincerely and ar
dently the unity of the Democratic party, but we
cannot, and we will have no part in Gs demorali
zation and disgrace. %e do not beiteve General
McClellan’s sentiment# to be those ts the party.
We know thafthey are in direct antagonism to the
spirit and meaning of the party platform, and we
are sure that they cannot be made tb command
the sanction of the party, except by sophistry and
fraud. These it shall be ciur business, and it is
our duty, to unmask and to thwart.
