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 ergy as the Federal?, and unquestionably 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 blown up the tunnel.” “What's the differ ence.” drawled out a six foot Tennesseean who was lying at full length on the ground, “Sherman hri got a duplicate of it.” $5.00 Per Month Latest from tbe North From the Northern files we make some fur ther extracts .• A RUMORED WITHDRAWAL OF FREMONT. The Philadelphia Inquirer has the following telegram, dated New York, Sept. 13th : It is said that General Fremont has placed in General Gluseret’s hands a letter witdraw iag his name from the Presidential canvass, and giving as his reason for so doing the well ! known thesis, that any success on his part • would only injure the Union party and assist i the Democrats. It is supposed that this letter i will appear in the New Nation on Saturday i next. THE DRAFT. From the following it will be seen that the : draft is to be enforced in Pennsylvania to j clay: Harrisonburg, Sept. 13th.—Secretary Slifer i received a telegram this morning, from Pro vost Marshal General Fry, announcing that next Monday has been fixed npon for the draft in Pennsylvania. Our quota, after volunteer ing, is some nineteen thousand. 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. Where’s Welles? Asleep. Where’s Hz ■’ In his bur ow Where's Lincoln In his dotage.— Where’s t e 1 dministraunn?
