STERLING EXCHANGE! t FEW Hundred Pounds of Sterling Exchange A far sale in sums to suit purchasers by agl6 tl BANK OF COLUMBUS. Thursday Evening. Theatre.—Temperance Hall, as usual, was crowded, last night, with the theatre-goers of the city. The performance opened with Schiller’s gloomy, thrilling play of the Robbers of Bohemia Mr. Hamilton as Charles and« Jfoor —and closed with the popular old burletta of the Loan of a Lover, both of which were performed with the usual excellence. The bill to-night is a good one to all who like Shakspeare’s grand, old plays— Richard 111, and a laughable farce. We anticipate a crowded house. Go early and secure seats. SougoDye.—J. H.Kalb, writing to the Charles ton Courier, remarks : “I am anew hand at sor go syrup, never having made any before this year; therefore, I cannot say anything as to the manu facture of either sugar or syrup, but I have acci dentally made a discovery that may be of some value to the public. A few days ago I was boil ing syrup, when I had one pot idle. I had water put in it, and sent to the field for a small armful of sorgo seed, just as it was cut off, and put it in the pot to see whether it would boil soft. To my great surprise, I found the water became very red, when a thought struck me that it might be used for dyeing, and I put a little wool in it. In about ten minutes I took it out, and found it to be of a beautiful brown color. Enclosed I send a sample, to let the public have tho bonefit of it, that other discoveries or experiments may bo made.” UoldTstill! To the people who are so anxiously awaiting the results of recent movements in Georgia, and'to the press, who are so eager to divine the termina tion, we would say, wait, and wait patiently, for the end is nigh. At the helm is a man, if young in command of an army, is yet the possessor of that genius which will stamp him as one of the heroes of the war. His recent movement on Sher man’s flank and rear tells us that if beaten once, or once in a difficulty, he is net the man to craw fish out, and least of all, te saddle his failures—if failures he makes—on his Government or subordi nates. With a manliness and courage unrivalled in the wy, he has set to work, with the spell of an accomplished strategist, to the great task of driv ing Sherman from Atlanta. Nor does his policy ignore the maxim that, "an inferior must fight a superior force at a disad vantage.” The only way to secure this advantage is to operate on the means of communication, and to fight on the flank and rear of the opposing force. Sherman, with his flank turned, his rear gain ed, bis communication destroyed, his supplies cut off and with only a meagre quantify on hand, finds himself environed by difficulties over which hu man skill can never triumph. Turn which way he will, they tower mountain high, aud bis destruction will be complete as his triumph was empty. Every movement of our armies bids us hope for grander triumphs in the future than have ever yet emblazond our arms. Then, notwithstanding the present is a great crisis, the fact that we are or are not acquainted with the movements will not affect the result. The government has wisely seen lit to prohibit the publication of anything what ever by which the enemy can gain a knowledge of the situation of Hood’s or Sherman’s armies, and he is no patriot who would disregard so rea sonable and necessary a precaution. In the meantime let no one despond. As soon as the situation will warrant it, the fullest details will bo given, and all will laud a policy so emi nently conducive to the interest of the country. This has not been done because we are are not succeeding, but because we allow our joy to betray us.— Confederacy, 13 th, Tlie Position in Georgia. Our dispatches to-day confirming our announce ment on yesterday, inform us that nearly four thousand prisoners were captured at Allatoona and Etowah. The Army of Tennessee is triumphant ly marching Northward, evidently with the inten tion of occupying the mountain passes which in tervene between the Yankee army and its North ern base. After this movement is consummated, then comes the solution of the problem. “What will Sherman’s army do ?” If ho makes battle, he does it with tho disadvantage of fighting us in the intrenchmonts he/ himself perfected, when he forced us into retreat; Without supplies, he can not make slow and deliberate battle as ho did dur ing his advance, and if he delivers quick and sud den battle against the tremendous fortifications in bis way, he will waste his army with a liberality that will delight us, his enemies. It however is considered probable that he will move to our rear and attempt his exit from his present difficulties through North Alabama, hoping to cut us off from our communications and secure subsistence, though it promises to be exceedingly scanty from our store houses in our present rear. We think the campaign has been shrewdly planned by wise heads and at the present moment is being prosecuted by an officer, who will not lag in repaying his vengeance on their heads with a fury that is his heir loom of fate. General Beau regard has inspired the army with anew and fresh ened vigor that will render tho brave veterans of the Army of Tennessee, not only invincible, but make it an avenging Nemesis, whose bloodj sword will sweep the hordes of the proud foeman into de struction. * Already we seethe buzzards circling over the devoted heads of tho Yankee army, anticipating the feast of flesh on which they will gorge and fatten. The eagles that perch on our banners are wheetting their beaks and screaming out their de light at the promised repast. With piercing eyes they eagerly gleam their fiery, burning gaze on the foe. With what earnest hopefulness and anxi ous prayers we await the echoes 'of the exultant shouts of our victorious soldiers. How eagerly we strain our ears to hear their clarion notes ring through the defiles and moumain passes of" North Georgia, heralding the terrible doom of our ene mies, whom we earnestly pray that God in his righteous judgment may give over to the dire ven - geanceofour noble army and to utter destruc tion. There is much to cheer the hearts of the peo ple, now being enacted over the bread surface of the land. The lining of the hitherto dark cloud has appeared, and as it turns to gold, the smiling sun of victory and joy and peace, with its radiance and splendor is brightening all the hopes and am bitious dreams of the most sanguine. At last the daylight has come. Heaven grant its effulgence may become brighter, until its splendor culmi nates in the high noon of glorious and heaven blessed peace.— lntelligencer, 13 th, The Front. Mail Office, Montgomery, 1 Tuesday, 11 a. m. J The movement of Gen. Hood’3 army has at last developed into a march for Middle Ten nessee, and has thus far proven entirely suc cessful. After destroying the State Road, with its garrisons from Big Shanty to Kingston, the army turned to the left towards Rome, and en route for the Tennessee river. We have no doubt that the report of oar ; special correspondent “E. P.” is altogether | correct, and that by this time a large part of : our army is north of the great river. Sherman, with a portion of his men, is at Chattanooga, but he will be forced back to defend Nashville. The garrison at Atlanta will be isolated and starved out. A Canard.—We learn from a gentleman who left Rome on Wednesday last, that the city was then in possession of the yankees. The report that Wheeler captured the place on Tuesday was 1 therefore imcorrect. Our informant thinks the garrison consisted of about 4000 men— of whom were negroes. The “capture of Rome'’ is one of the numerous “canards,” which are flying where.— Telegraph & Confederate. $5.00 Per Mont}) J. W. WARREN, Editor The New Cauipaip. It is brave news they send us from Hood’s army. After the weariness of three months of persistent ill fortune, that magic word "forward’* has ran along the lines, and the necromancy of advance has touched the troops into a new spirt and a now as- Eect. Tho column no longer droops and staggers ackward beneath the depression of retrograde.— The hea 1 no longor bows to the dismal spell ot' pur suit, the heart numb and the senses cold, every im pulse dead and every hope saddened and sickened by continued mis fortune. Every chest is now erect. Every head is high. Every eye is bright. Every voice rings out cheerily in the autumn air as the happy tramp, tramp reverberates among the pleas ant vistas which lead to Tennessee. Before them they see tlie bright waters of that loved stream, which has not gladdened them for an entire year, rolling merrily among the cornfields that laugh out a prodigality of life. Above them the very branches, clad in the rosy dress of the season, seem to cross their!pious hands in holy benediction. The birds carol the old, old sounds of home, and whisper notes of victory in the soldier's ear. We shall not have another Kentucky campaign ot this new Inovement. We anticipate for the eagles of Hood and Beauregard a career of splendid success. We shall winter in Middle Tennessee. Wo may recapture Nashville, restore tho lost lines of Sydney Johnson and open the ball in the Spring with something of the enthusiasm of ’6l. Price vic torious in Mis-ouri, Lee in Virginia and Hood and Beauregard in the centre, the great crescent will bo complete. Our readers may expect to hear stirring news from this time forward. The < ampaign has been admirably begun. The destruction of the State Road from Big Shanty to Kingston (the junction of the Rome road with tho line from Dalton to Atlan ta) a distance of 28 miles, the capture of Allatoona with four thousand prisoners and all tho stores, the division of Sherman's gang, avd the issolation of so many garrisons cannot fail to produce largo results, and to facilitate largoly our advance upon Nash ville. The reinforcements which will swell our ranks is another source of incalculable benefit. No less than twenty thousand men will be added to our army. With these we can hold our own, ad libitum upon the banks of tho Cumberland. [Montgomery Mail, 12 th. The Repulse before Fort Gil mer. The bloody repulse suetained by the Yan kees in the assault en Fort Gilmer, is pictured as follows: Our troops at once pnshed on to the junc tion of the Varina and Newmarket rends, three-quarters of a mile further, where a re connoissance revealed a strong lunette-shaped fortification, with outworks on either flank, to the left of the road, and commanding it fully. These works Gen. Birney ordered to b.e as saulted. The troops employed were Foster’s division, and Brig. Gen. Birney’s colored troops, the latter on the left of Foster. Twice these works were assaulted, and on each occa sion the charge was gallantly made, but failed. Our men suffered greatly, being exposed as they crossed the wide open interval in front of the rebel position, to a withering enfilading fire of grape, canister, and musketry, from a rebel fortification further to the right, which completely plowed the field. The colored troops again distinguished them selves here General Birney’s brigade, or at least a portion of it, reached the works on the left, before which was a ditch twelve feet wide and ten feet deep. About 2,000 of these ne groes got into this ditch and never same back. At least twenty of them climbed on tbe para pet of the fort, and were shot dead, tumbling back upon their comrades. The rest, it is said, were slaughtered by tbe enemy With shells thrown among them by hand. Among the many white officers wounded in this charge were Lieut. Col. Johnston, of the 11,5 th New York, by a minieball in the shoul der, received while carrying the colors of his regiment, which he seized from the color-ser geant who was killed. Col Johnston has been wounded twice before. Col McDonald, of the 47th New York, a very brave officer, was also wounded in the shoulder. Col. Daggate, of the 117th New York, was slightly wounded in the leg; Major Ludwig, 112th New York, in right breast; Capt. N. V. Smith, 7th United States cavalry, in right and left shoulders. The Attempted Escape of Pris oners from Camp Douglas. A thrilling incident took place at Camp Douglas on Tuesday night in the desperate and daring attempted sortie of a squad of reb el prisoners, some thirty or more in number, only defeated by the vigilance and promptness of the sentinels, ~. The movement took place a little before 10 o’clock, toward the north western angle of the enclosure, when a sudden rush took place of the attacking party, armed with mallets, axes and clubs. They rushed across the “dead line,” tbe leader throwing a blanket over the light that illuminated that part of the enclosure. With him it was emphatically, “put out the light, and then put out the light,” for quick as thought the bullet of the sentry sped, strik ing him in the throat, inflicting a mortal wound. Undeterred by his fall, his comrades made for the fence, and began a furious bat tering process upon the boards with their axes and weapons. Tbe long roll sent its echoes throughout the camp. The excitement was intense. The guard rallied, and poured their fire indiscrim inately in upon the rebel squad furiously at work in the darkness upon the fence, their position under shelter of the parapets, how ever, giving them immunity. The whole af fair was short lived, and from the reasons named, though numerous shots were fired on ly two rebels were struck by bullets. These were Lewis H. Moore, of company D, 7th Ala bama, and another whose name we have not learned. The first named was shot in the act of extinguishing the lamp. He will probably die. The other is only severely wounded. The rebel prisoners, it because quite evident, would have been found in readiness to im prove any advantage gained, and in fact they had begun early to make a night ofit. Col. J. B. Sweet, commandant of the post, has issued a general order, in which he says that a conspiracy is apparent among the pris» oners to effect their escape. He cautions them against such attempts, reminding them of their position as being a necessity of the war, and informing them that in the event of any future attempt he will perform his duty strictly, although in doing so he might de stroy the innocent with the guilty. The ar« rangements at Camp Douglas are so complete for the prevention of such attempts, that even had the prisoners got beyond the enclosure, they would at once have been exposed to a raking shower of grape, two pieces of artillery being placed at each angle in a position to command every avenue of escape.— Chicago Tribune. The follewing is the last specimen of poetry turned out by the Rebel’s poetic machine. Omr devil filched it from Paul’s pocket yesterday, while be was asleep : GOV. BROWN AND THE SORGHUM CROP. Tumultuous horrors brooded o’er the van PresagiDg wrath to Poland and to man, Oh Heaven ! Brown cried, we must the sorghum save: I? there no hand on high to shield the brave? What though destruction sweep these lovely plains ? What’s liberty to us so sorghum yet remains— By its sweet name we lift our knives on high, And swe.ir to cut it while we live, and suck it when we die! A correspondent of the Boston Journal says that 250 substitutes in the Ist JNew Hampshire cavalry, deserted the first night they went into camp. They had cost the original buyers and the Orovemment $300,000, and had rendered no service whatever. Circular of flic Yew Press As sociation. To the Press of the Southern Confederacy: Richmond, Va., Oct. 0,1804. Gentlemen :—Because of the dissatis faction generally existing with the tele graphic news of the “Southern Press As i sociation, and the unnecessarily heavy expenditures thereby entailed on the pro prietors of the various newspapers, four of the daily press of this city—the Em quirer, Sentinel, Examiner and Dispatch —have dissolved their connection with the same and formed a “Mutual Benefit Press Association," in which they invite their brethren of the Southern press to join them. The plan of this new organization is designed to be an economical one; and ! as its members are to be the News Res porters, its reports are expected to be not only reliable, but unencumbered with use less verbiage and unimportant intelli> gence. By the request of our Directory, I have opened a correspondence with Dr. W. S. Morris, tbe President of the Souths ern Telegraph Company, as to what will be the charges made against the members of this Association for “news over the wires; aid with his usual promptness, as well as liberality to the Press, he responds, that “after this month I will send all Pi css communications, wherever they may ema* nate on our lines, to any Editor or Pros prietor of a Daily Paper, intended for publication, on our lines, at half the usu al rates.” That it will be seen, that while the en tire press of the South is put upon the same footing by Dr. Morris, as regards wire rent, the “Mutual Association” will be enabled to save the enormous expense of traveling agents, reporters, horses, cir* cular printing, and other incidentals, which form part and parcel of the cum** berous machine which all have hereto fore sustained. The press of Richmond, as a contribu tion to the general cause, have appointed an intelligent, energetic and efficient agent, at their own expense, to collect official and other news for them, an intel ligible. synopsis of which he will-send reg ularly to all members ot this Association, without charge for his labors. In cities, where two or more papers are published, the"editors can readily appoint one of their number to receive and for ward news—and thus the entire Associat ion can work harmoniously and econo* mically, and at the same time relieve the telegraph wires (which are often heavily pressed with Government work) of a vast quantity of superfluous labor. Having thus briefly stated the object of the new Association, and the reasons which actuated its organization, we now cordially invite our brethren of the Press throughout the Confederacy to join us, as suring them that we will spare no efforts to make it what it purports to be, a “Mu* tual Benefit Press Association.” Very respectfully, J. W. Lewellen, President Mutual Benefit Press Associa tion A gentleman of Prince George county , who for some weeks past, has been con fined in a floating prison at City Point, made his escape a few nights past, and reached this city via Richmond yesterday morning. He states that about seventy five residents of Prince ‘George, and vi cinity—among them Mr. William Peebles of Dinwiddie—are confined in this pris* on ship, closely guarded. He also says that many recruits are daily arriving to reinforce Grant’s array, and confirms the statement recently made by us, that num* bers of veteran troops whose terms of service have expired, are leaving for home. Affairs in the vicinity of City Point pre*. sent a scene ..of great activity; vessels are continually arriving and departing, and altogether the place resembles the busy wharves of a great city. As far down as the eye can reach, vessels of war, gunboats, transports, steam tugs, can be thickly seen.— Petersburg Express. Extract from a letter from a wounded Con federate officer—now a prisoner of war at Beaufort, S. C.—dated Sept. 25th, to his fath er in Mobile: “The chances now for our early exchange appear to me very slim. My disappointment, of course, is great, but I have made up my mind to bear it with as good grace and man ly resignation a3 I can command. I know that you and the other members of our family feel the disappointment as much as I, and I feel for you and them more than I do for my self. Give my love to them, and tell them to be of good cheer, and hope for the best. “I suppose there must be some excuse for a lot of mutilated being3, as there are now at this hopital, who are disabled for life and al most helpless, being kept as prisoners now fourteen months, but for the life of me I can not see it. Rather than have my own Gov ernment to compromise itself in the least de gree, I would spend the remainder of my life in prison, and it would be more assurance than I have ever been guilty of to ask the Federal Government to do if. But I can’t see how either party would compromise itself by exchanging one-legged and one-armed men. If any proposition to excha»ge such cases has been made by either party, the one that re jected it is, in my opinion, guilty of disgrace ful barbarity. If such a proposition has not been made, then a lot offaithful sufferers have been sadly and cruelly neglected.” A correspondent of the Charleston Courier writes: “I have lately had occasion to give dogwood a fair trial on chills, and confidently commend it. A strong decoction of the bark and berries is made, one-third the quantity of spirits is added. Dose, wine glass full three times daily. General Pegram is in command of Early’s old division. Gen. Ramsuer, who has been command ing Early’s division, has been assigned to the com mand of Rode’s division. The Yankees sheuld remember, since they pretend to believe in the Lord, that there are seven things which are an abomination unto Him —viz: A proul look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood. A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, a false witness that spsaketh lies, and he that soweth dis cord among brethren. All of these abominations and many more are they guilty of, and if they es cape the clutches- of the Devil, it will be cwiDg only to the infinite mercy of Him whose teachings they laugh at, and whose precept* they deride.
