Ilctlellaß’i Chtßccs Prentice/’ of the* Louisville Journal, is now, for the ir3t time, ’supporting a Democratic nominee, and has commenced making calculations as to , the chances for the success of his favorite. He says : ] Congress Laving refused to admit th® vote of those . States which mve passed ordinances of accession, the number of electoral votes to be cast in Novem ber will bo 331, and it will require 116 votes for an election. The twenty -four voting States no%— Kansas and West Virginia having been added since the last Presidential election— polb and art aggregate vote of 1,86-,613 for Lincoln aad 2,024,041) for the opposing candidates, so that Lincoln was in a j popular min irity of 159,427, although he obtained j a majority of the electoral votes. 4\ ere these States to vote this year as they did in 1860, Lin coln would receive 188 and McClellan 35. But j I in 1862, Now York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, | and Illinois gave opposition majorities, varying . j, from 3,500 |o 16,5 46, and it cannot be doubted that the administration’s changes of polity Wili increase those majorities in 1864. They giro one hundred and nine electoral votes, or but seven less than are necessary to a choice, and we ean draw on NeVr Jersey for that number, or on our own ! glorious Kentucky for eleven. The Presidential [ election comes off in less than seventy days. We learn from the Selma Reporter that on Satur- j day morning last, trains having on aoard 2,100 I Federal prisoners, captured by Forrest, ran off the track not far from Okalona. F’ifty prisoners, with a few of the guard, were killed or wounded. It is j reported that in the confusion of the moment ' many prisoners escaped. The Confederacy will rejoice, and Yankce i dtxni tremble to learn that the “old war horse. 1 | Lieutenant General Longstreet, has returned !to duty. His wounds (says the Montgomery | Mail) are entirely well, though the one in nis : neck has partially paralyzed the use of his ! arm. Gen. Longstreet will immediately as*- i sume an important command. The following [ pleasing anecdote is told of the veteran war i nor, whose modesty is as proverbial as his j courage aud ability : One of his friends was congratulating him on the world-wide repu-’ tatio-n he bad earned; “I have S9ms little reputation, it is true,” he replied.' “but vvj 1 'men have won it for me. They are the bravest set of fellows that ever drew a rammer; lean claim nothing myseif.” This is only equaled in magnanimity, by Gen. Lee’s noble remark, after losing'the-battle of Gettysburg : “It was all my fault, it was all ray fault ; my men have done all that mortal valor could do." The Campaign in Middle Tennessee.— Fayetteville, where Forrest is last reported, (says the Montgomery Mail.) is the county seat of Lincoln county. It is near the Ala bama line, and a'oont fifteen tniles-from Tul lahorna on the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, Winchester, which is said to be in our possession, is a village of some note, two miles from this road, and fourteen miles from Tullahoma, in the direction of Chattanooga. Murfreesboro' is thirty miles from Nashville. Pulaski is in the southern part of the State and one hundred and sixty miles from Naah- on the Alabama road. The country over which Forrest is operating is familiar to himself and his command and the scene of brilliant successes two years ago. The Front. Mail Office, Montgomery, f Thursday, 10 a. m. j From our special agent with the army of Gen. Hood, we learn that scouts just in from Middle Tennessee, report the capture of a train on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, on the 27th, by a body of guerrillas under Col. Lassslle Hall. Great disturbance exists in Central Kentucky, and a body of troops has been sent to put down the guerrillas, whose headquarters are below Hop kinsville. Scouts report that the Yankees have burned Athens, Alabama. When Forrest had left the town the enemy from Decatur appeared and after some sharp firing from a few straggling soldiers entered the place and destroyed several of the prin ciple buildings. The light of the conflagration is reported to have been seen by citizens fifty miles away. - There is a rumor that Gen. Forrest has taken Shelbyville, with large quantities of ammunition and 1,200 negro troops, but it lacks any sort of confirmation outside of the mere probability. The position of Gen. Hood is yet a matter of incognito. —-[Montgomery Mail, 7th. Alabama Legislature.

Rkg’t Cavalry, \ Rucker's Brigade, Forrest's Cnvaffy, v September 22, 1864. j I have a tew moments of leisure, which I will devote to penning a few lines concerning our big raid upon Sherman's rear. On Thurs day, 15th Sept.jGeu.’T'orrelt made us a speech at Tupelo, Miss., in vrhfch hfc informed us that he would start the next day upon the largest raid of the war, viz: the utter demolition of the railroads which furnish Yankee Sherman with all his supplies. Accordingly we left Tupelo on the 16th, via Cherokee, Alabama, for Athens, Ala, After a moderate march ot nine days, fording the Tennessee river at “Colbert’s Shoals,’ - we arrived at Athens at sundown on the 23d. The night was employ ed in districting forces around the town in sufficient numbers to take the place early next morning. Rucker's brigade, commanded by i Lt. Gol. Kelley, (Col. ltucker laboring under severe indisposition, not being in command,) ( was stationed upon the east side of the town, i I and placed in line of battle for the attack at ; daylight Just at daylight a heavy rain fell, j which only served to stimulate the boys to go forward upon the work set for them. The Yankees at Athens were takeu by surprise, and were completely amazed at the bold cav aliers—many of whom penetrated the town during the night, destroying the ordnance de pot on the public square, and opening some of the dry goods stores—helping themselves to what they wanted. During the night the, | Yankees repaired to the large fort and the block houses around the town—taking refuge therein. About 6 a. m., Saturdy, Morton’s- Battery opened the ball by sending shots through one of the block houses, killing several was continued in r the town about qnp when a train with two regiments’ of reinforcefnents from Decatur, hove in sight. Col. Kelley was ordered, with his brigade, to intercept them about a mile below town on the railroad. He did so, and gave them battle at a position selected by the enemy of supe rior strength, it being behihd a pile of cord wood, over a hundred yards long, where ; tbe_ railroad ran through a “cut’’of ten feet in depth. Rucker’s brigade prbceeded to close' in.on the keeping up a vigorbuAfife, untii within eighty yards of them in an open space, the 15th Tenn. Regiment, Col. Log* wood commanding, witlf two' companies of Col. Kelley’s regiment, ’charged them Behind their breastworks, putting them to flight, ta king eight prisoners aud killing several. | The Yankees ran into the woods adjacent, I and kept up a fire upon us—they stil endeav | oring to get (o a stockade near town. Ruck ! er's brigade kept them moving all the time un til they reached the block house, where they took refuge. Gen. Buford’s division was still in readiness to charge the large fort on the edge of the town. When - General Forrest mad/a demand to surrender the place, the Yankee Colonel Campbell saw that it was “no | go,” and yielded to Gen. Forrest’s “persua | sive arguments.” The reinforcements which 1 reached the stockade did not seem inclined to 1 comply with the.“ War Eagle’s” request, and j persisted in refusing to surrender. One of I Marion s guns.was turned upon the “edifice.” and a shot was sent through it. killing three. The white flag was soon displayed, and the taking of Athens was over at IT o’clock, with but a very small loss to us. The number of prisoners taken was near fifteen hundred. They are now eu route for Dixie and are where they will have to take “rebel fare." After completely demolishing the stockade, forts, Yankee buildings, raii ! road cars and depot. Gen. Forrest proceeded to move at 5 p. no. north on the Pulaski road : we camped five miles from Athens. Next morning. Sunday, 25th, we moved up road two miles' to Sulphur Branch Trestle,” where the i ankees had a very strong stockade and fort, garrisoned with a regiment of negroes and some cavalry. At 6a. m. the ball was opened by our batteries, playing the very deuce with the Yankee fort. Rucker’s brigade soou drove in the skirmishers and the fight commenced in earnest, when it was continued until ten o’clock. The Yankees kept a perfect rain of minni# bullets upon us from their works, our brigade still advancing until it came within one hundred yards of them. When wo were in position to move on their works “uncon ditionally,” General Forrest demanded the surren der of the place, and the officer in command did not deem it prudent to refuse. Here we took over j eight hundred prisoners, several pieces of artillery i and many implements of warfare. Our loss wa3 not over thirty killed and wounded, while the enemy lost twenty killed and many wounded.— The trestle work on the railroad here is ninety feet high aad one hundred and fifty long. Tb 9 entire place wa3 consumed to ashes. The Yankee officer in command wa3 killed—Col: Lathrop—a canuon ball mangled him severely. Two small stockades above this point were taken by Colonel Bell without any serious trouble. The 25th Tennessee Regiment, • Coi. Logwood i was ordered by Gen. Forrest to take charge of the | 300 priseners taken on Sunday and deliver them j in Dixie, and accordingly it started with them j Sunday evening South. The 15th Tenn. Reg. has i performed a 7ery gallant act in guarding 810 j prisoners, two pieces of artillery, six wagon loads j of small arms and several hundred horses to Cnero-' kee, Ala. The enemy wa3 about four to one, and ! considering the fact that thirty-fire of the Yankee officers werealiaweiLtn retain their 3ide-arm3, it deserves some credit f®r its vigilance in conduct i ing the “miscegenators” south without any trouble with them. Col. Logwood a more galiatit officer Is not to be ' found in General Forrest’s corp3) is thorough in ! the arduous duties of his position—ever vigilant, never wearying, and persevering in all his uader ; taking?. Colonel Logwood knows the duties of a ' regimental officer and does not refrain from doing | them. But why Should I particularize, when Gen. | Forrest has so many skillful officers under him. I have said enough. This raid upon Sherman’s rear will make him retrace his steps from Atlanta, aura. 1 With such a worker ind fighter ia the rear as the j “War Eagle,” Sherman cannot get his rations.— ' When General Forrest gets‘done with the railroads j in Middle Tennessee and Kentucky, “somebody” , will hare to suffer 'for th» “substantial* ef'life.” ] Before this letter is printed you will have glorious I accounts by telegraph from "Forrest; and I can only make predictions that'ere" long'the hearts of the weeping South will be made glad at the recital of the “War Earie's” progress in Tennessee.

Hood’s movements, the press should “take into account the fact that Atlanta furnished Sherman with at least supplies for two months,” that “it was tolerably well filled with private stores and warehouses belonging to persons who had nothing to sell for Confederate money at any living rates,” and “there was a good stock of public stores.” “It has been officially stated the public stores were all destroyed. Tlfis was the case. But had Sherman got them all, they would not have, /sufficed his army more, than three days. From this source, however, he obtained nothing. That there was any amount worth men tioning, “in private stores and warehouses belonging to persons who had nothing to sell for Confederate money,” we do not believe, On the night of the 21st of July, almost every public house was sack ed by a marauding band of ouv own sol diery, and the poverty of the city, fully exposed. Nothing escaped them. And after that date nothing was brought to j- the city except such small lots as the fa cilities of the express company enabled it to carry, and these were by no means ade> ? quate to the daily consumption -1 From personal knowledge, we conclude the only supplies Sherman obtained in Atlanta, of the least consequence, were those in the hands of the citizens he drove off. If these were seized, they ' added something to his commissariat, but certainly not to the extent of sixty days’ supply. Our friends of the Courier are i mistaken.— Memphis Appeal. Waxing Wroth. —Greeley, the non | resistant, free (and of course general) - j lover, Jias been vexed to such an extent that he is thinking of battle. He wants j somebody horse-whipped, I-ere is what he says: The scoundrelly World yesterday in* vented, and the- equally villainous Ex press reiterated a rigmarole intended to give the impression that the Ojentral Union Lincoln Campaign Club closed its mass-meeting last Wednesday evening by a negro ball! It were needless to say that there is not a word of truth in the story, for no one worth kicking will pro' tend that there is. Whether any ball took place in the same hall after the cam paign club had closed its meeting and left the premises, its members neither know nor care. They had no control over the room after the adjournment.of their meeting. But such despicable in sinuations as those of the World can be properly refuted only with the horsewhip. Important Rumor. —The Macon Telegraph says, it is rumored that Hood has captured a whole corps of the enemy amounting to 7,000, in the rear of Sher man’s army. We hope before going to press to receive confirmation of the above Arrival of Yankees. —Twelve hun dred Yankees, shipped by Forrest to a more Southern clime, arrived here last night. —Selma Mississippian, sth. A “'Rebel” Funeral. —The Yew York correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, under date of September Obfc, writes.; Strange as it may seem, yet it is never* theless a fact that we had a rebel funeral at Grace Church, in this city, yesterday. It was attended by many of the mast prominent secessionists in town; the feU lows, I mean, who make their headquar ters at a Broadway hotel, apd who throw up their hats in the bar room there when ever news comes of a rebel success on sea or land. The deceased was Major Reid Sanders (son of Geo. Sanders) who died at Fort Warren on the 3d inst. The body ! was inclosed in a costly metalic coffin, which was strewn with flowers by fair hands. The officiating clergyman was Rev. Robt. G. Dickson. - -i Mr. Arnold, of Illinois, who has been speak ing in Western Pennsylvania, reports that the Union men will carry Pennsylvania by 50.000 in November. — Emerson Ethridge, it is said, made a 3peSch some time since at Paducah, favoring the nomi nee of the Chicago Convention for the Presidency. Subsequently he gathered quite a crowd around him at the hotel where he came down heavily on Lincoln. The Commandant of the Pest/ after listening awhile, stepped up and told him he must quit his treasonable talk: Ethridge wanted the Yankee officer to define what was treason: and told him that he was as good a Union man as could be found in the United States. The officer replied, “then, sir, you ought to have on your uni form.” “No sir,” rejoined Ethridge, “that has been disgraced by being placed on a nijjfrer.” The commandant left, and in a few minutes a guard entered with a note inforating him that be had to leave the plaeein two hours, underpaaalty of hav ing a hail placed to hiS leg and put on tHe streets.
