ARMY CORRESPONDENCE OF THE TIMES.
Newnan the central point for news—Tearing up
our Railroads — Waifs from Atlanta —Good news
from the front — Stewart’s corps upon the Railroad
—Major General Bate.
Newnan, Ga., October 5 th, 1864.
This point for the time being, is the central
news depot of the army, although headquarters
are some fifty or sixty miles away. Telegraphic
communication ceases here and messages and mail
matter are packed snugly away in the saddle
bags of couriers for further transmission. The rail
road from a few miles beyond Palmetto down to
this place has been torn up more or less by our’
forces, and the iron conveyed away to more secure
localities. This has also been done upon the Ma
con & Western Road to Barnesville (fifteen miles
South of Griffin), and Sherman would find it diffi
cult to move anything like a large force in either
direction, even had he the inclination so to do.
I conversed with a party who left Atlanta upon
the 28th ultimo, yesterday. He states that the Yan
kees were laboring under the impression that Hood
had only taken a small portion of the army with
him upon his flank movement, and that Beaure
gard was in command of the main army at some
point Macon and Lovejoys.
If Sherman really was deluded into this belief
he must have been terribly thrown aback, when
awakened to the true state of things in his rear.
The news from the army to-day is just what has
been foreshadowed, for sometime past.
Our left, in command of Stewart, very eooly
took possession of the State Road yesterday, and
captured several trains in between Ackworth and
Big Shanty, with a small number of prisoners.
► Is was reported that our- forces were engaged
in tearing up the road and destroying it, and that
they would probably fall back as far as the Eto
wah before baiting.
Wheeler, it is thought, has struck the road by
this time at Kingston or thereabouts, and the news
from Forrost at army headquarters, is said to be
all that could be desired.
President Davis is said to have telegraph Forrest
that he should expect him to check railroad com
munication south of Nashville. Forrest is said to
have replied that no more trains should run in
that section until the President desired it.
Whether such correspondence ever really passed
between the President and the Wizard of the Saddle
I am not prepared to say, but feel confident that
Forrest will accomplish wonders. He is said te
have tapped the road already between Deckard’s
and Tullahoma on the Nashville & Chattanooga
Railroad. I had the pleasure this morning of
meeting General Bate of Tennessee, who although
not yet recovered from quite a -severe wound re
ceived before Atlanta, is en route to take com
mand of his Division. The General is a gallant
soldier—full of hope and confidence and eager for
the fray.
I have no news of a reliable character to report
of the movements of Sherman’s army. It is re
ported here that seme ten or twelve trains loaded
with troops left Atlanta for the Chattahoochee day
before yesterday. It is time the Banker General
| was “stacking up his cheeks and getting ready
for anew deal”—and plenty of “splits” in it at
that, if he expects to save himself!
OUTLINE.
The Front.
Mail Office, Montgomery, 1
Wednesday, 10 A. M. j
Our cavalry on Saturday evening last en*
tered Rome. " The enemy had left the night
before, going toward Marietta. On Sunday
Gen. Wheeler dashed into the latter place near
the Bolling Green, succeeded in burning a
I block of store houses and spiking three siege
guns.
The main body of our army is supposed to
be at Ettowah. Fortifications are said to have
been thrown up on Kennesaw Mountain. The
report that Cerro Gordo Williams had cap
tured Chattanooga is not believed, but the
occupation of Dalton seems to be confirmed.
A gentleman lately out of Atlanta reports
that Sherman has provisions there to last a
garrison of ten thousand men for six months.
If he is forced to evacuate the place with his
army he will leave a garrison.
Forrest is still on the wing in Middle Ten
nessee. He Will doubtless occupy Columbia,
Murfreesboro’ and all the towns about Nash
ville. Rousseau is already cooped in the lat
ter city.— Mont. Mail, 6 th.
Speecli from “Fighting Joe
Hooker.”
Hooker— or rather “Fighting Joe Hooker,” as
his friends dub him—made a speech some days
ago in New York, in the course of which he said :
°The fighting is now nearly closed. There will
be a few spasmodic plunges, but they are the
natural manifestations es dying. The government
has been slow ; the people have been fast, and have
led the Administration; but the latter has come
along, and, on the whole, done tolerably well. It
is absurd to suppose the soldiers can vote other
than one way. They will vote as they have fought,
to put down the rebellion.
General Hooker farther remarked that he had
at ne time felt any doubt of the success of the war
for the Union. There hac been mistakes and mis
management in its conduct, yet the Union arms
had made steady progress, so that the close of
each year had seen the area of the rebellion narrow
ed and its relative power materially weakened.—
H© confidently believed that we were now very
near the end—nearer than most of us believed. —
But he would have no overtures made to the rebel
chiefs ; at the proper time they would signify their
readiness to give it up.
A correspondent of the Augusta Re
gister, speaking of Gen. Howell Cobb s
late speech in Macon, says :
One expression of the speaker brought
down such loud and long continued ap
plause, it seemed difficult for him to pros
ceed. Said he “We have long been ac
custotned to regard the Yankees as the
meanest and most infamous people on
earth. This is a mistake, and I must beg
even the Yankee’s pardon for misrepresen
ting them. There are some meaner and
more infamous still, and they are those
i who are willing to go back and live with
the Yankees.”
Hiram Richardson and William Hart, of the
rebel army, says the Memphis Bulletin, have
been convicted before a military commission
ordered by Gen. Wallace, of acting 3pies with
-1 in our lin'es, and sentenced to be hung
Later from Texas and Mexico.
The Clarion has late and interesting Texas
and Mexican new3, from which we extract the
following ;
Brownsville, Sept. 1, 1864.
Ed. Tel.: The steamer Arkansas, captured
by our forces has arrived at this city, Cortinas i
is still oppressing" the Mexican population at ;
Matamoras. His motto is “walk in lemons j
and get squeezed,” “shell out, I want $250,- i
000 to skedaddle on, for Johnny Crapeau is j
coming, and it is necessary for me to retire to
private life, ala Santa Anna.” In plain .
words, he is forcing a loan, and threatens to i
turn the troops loose upon the town if the
citizens don’t comply.
Four or five hundred troops have arrived at :
Matamoras from Victoria, having been driven ,
out by the French. It is distant 60 miles from ;
Matamoras, and it will not be long before they j
will besiege our neighboring city.
Cortinas sent some 800 troops down towards
the mouth of the Rio Grande to attack the
French. A fight took place last evening, re
sults not important. Some five or six Mexi
cans killed and a number wounded. Heavy
firing heard last night.
A growing coolness is apparent on the part
of the Mexican authorities towards the Con
federates, engendered, no doubt, from the late
visit of the French, representations from the
Admiral’s squadron, and his friendly reception
by Col. Ford and staff.
Our troops are in good health with a few
exceptions. Several deaths have occurred.
The Yankees have not all left, but from ap
pearances they are going.
The French are moving towards Matamoras
in three columns. One from Monterey, one
from Victoria, and now at San Fernando, and
one will move from the mouth of the River.
Gen. Vidauri is in possession of New Lore
do. The citizens have pronounced in favor
of the French.
Nothing remains to be done to place the
French in possession of the entire Mexican
territory but the possession of Matamoras and
the State it is in, (Tamaulipas,) and in three
weeks that will be accomplished. We will*
have a fine view of the fight from the city.
CARLOS.
N. B.—Sept. 2.—Cortinas has fled and the
French are in possession of the city.
The French in Matamoras. —According to
the Houston Telegraph the French occupied
Matamoras on the 2d instant. The capture of
that city and Monterey gives them possession
of the Northern States of Mexico, and leaves
no ground for the Jaurists party to occupy.
At last accounts Cortinas had fled, Jaurez had
fled, Quitaga had submitted, Vidauri was ex
pected to do likewise, and hostilities have ac
cordingly, ere this, ceased in that part of the
new empire.
Yellow Fever in Galveston. —Trans-.
Mississippi advices report the appearance of
Yellow fever at Galveston, Texas. Several
persons have already died from it. It is said
by some that there are a few cases in Hous
ton, but the physicians are unwilling to admit
the fact.
An Attack on Galveston. —Kirby Smith
has received intimations that Galveston is
soon to receive a visit from Commodore Far
ragut. Preparations are being made to re
ceive him after the style of Gen. M. L. Smith’s
reception at Vicksburg, on the memorable
28th of June, 1862. Farragut will find a foe
in Bronze John now, as well as the Texas
tigers.

hereby abolished in this department. All
officers, non-commissioned officers and
privates attached to or in any way em*
ployed in it, fit for duty and connected
with organizations in the field, will at once
rejoin their respective commands. Offi
cers unfit for active duty will report to
these headquarters, giving their status as
officers, copy of orders placing them on
duty, and certificates of a medical exam
ining board as to the continuance of their
disability. Non-commissioned officers and
privates detailed on certificate of medical
examining board with provost marshals,
will report to the commandant of the
posts at which they may be stationed, or
if there be no commandant of such posts,
then the nearest to them.
11. Post commanders are charged with
the duty of arresting and returning to
their command all officers and soldiers im
properly absent from them.
111. All persons employed as detectives or
secret service men, unless by authority cf
the War Department, cease to be employ-,
ed by the first of next month, and become
liable to enrollment by the proper officers
unless re-employed by the lieutenant gena
eral commanding^department.
IV. Paragraph 111 of this order does
not apply to those persons employed for
temporary purposes by commanders on
the frontier, nor is it intended to prevent
them from so employing persons from
time to time as they may find necessary.
There will be one good result from the
Yankee occupation of Atlanta, should we
ever regain the city, which we have no
doubt we shall do. The order of Shers
man, forcing the citizens to remove, either
North or South, has, doubtless, to a great
extent, divided the sheep from the goats.
Those who lived there, and have gone
North, have done so from choice—from
the promptings of a heart treacherous to
the South. We mean the most of them,
Some may have had other motives for
electing to go North. Those who. have
gone North by the promptings of sympa
thy for our enemy will never return to
Atlanta to live after we shall have regain
ed the city. We have believed there
were many disloyal people in Atlanta, and
Sherman’s order has given the proof of
it. —La Grange Reporter.
The New York' Times, of the 27th ult.,
says: If is now believed that Gen. Price
has entered Missouri with forces estima*
ted at 30,000 strong. His plan* is sups
posed to be to inarch to the central por
tion of the State with three columns, and,
capturing all the important points, hold
the country. It is expected that Kirby
Smith will join him with Trom 10,000 to
12,000 men. The Arkansas guerrillas
are also concentrating to aid in the move
ment of the column now in the Southeast,
doubtless, under Shelby, who has some
6,000 or 8,000 men.
France In the East.
Rapid extension of French influence and interest in
Cochin China—A new Commercial Treaty.
Anew treaty of peace and a commercial conven
tion have been concluded at Hue with the Anna
mite Government. They were signed on the 15th
of July. They offer advantages to France and
largely indemnify her for the exchange she has
made of the part of the territory conquered by her
in Lower Cochin China.
The principal clause of these arrangements -are:
the protectorate of France over the six provinces
of Lower Cochin China: the opening of three im
portant ports on the coast of Annam, with the con
cession of nearly Eix miles of ground round each
of the ports for establishing factories,- liberty for
French merchants to circulate and do business
throughout the whole kingdom of Annam ; entire
freedom for French missionaries to teach the
Christian religion ; the establishment of consuls at
Hue, and in port3 to trade : and lastly, the pay
ment ©f an indemnity of one hundred millions of
francs. We thus find ourselves relit red from a
part of the heavy charges which weighed on us in
Cochin China, and from which many despaired of
ever obtaining any good result.
France retains a vast territory at Saigon, Cape
St. Jacques and Mytbo, she remains mistress of
the river of Saigon, and of the large river Cambo
dia, and commerce may henceforth be developed
without impediment in those distant countries.—
The treaties are to be ratified within six months.
The Annamite government, in order to prove its
good intentions, has sent to Saigon a sum of
2,500,000 francs; thejamount of the annuities due
according to the treaty of the sth of June, 1862.
Speech of a Yankee Blackguard. —A Yan
kee blackguard, as his language proves him to be,
but a military dignitary, who is styled by the Yan
kee papers as “General Andrew Jackson Smith,”
had a public reception and made a speech to the
people of St. Louis last week. After a great deal
of bluster and bravado about the war, he offered
the following insult to the women of the South:
Let the South acknowledge their wrong and come
back; the sooner they do it the better it will be for
them. If they don’t do it, we’ll make them. The
men of the South have gone to war, and left their
woman at home. We’ll show them that we can
raise a better breed than the generation of South
erners that we are now killing off. [Langhter
and cheers.j ******
The Southerners are determined to destroy this
Government; don’t let them do it. [“Never !”]
All that I am fighting for is, first, for the Union ,
secondly, for the Union ; thirdly, and ail the time,
for the Union ! [“Hurrah for the Union ! The
Union forever!”] There is bnt one way of doing
this. They commenced the war; now let them ask
for peace. I say when the South shall ask for
peace then it will be time for them to get it. Never
let the North saj peace. As for proposing terms
to the South, I say it is ridiculous.
