Thiatr*. —The curtain rese, last evening, at the theatre, as we anticipated, ea a perfect “jam” —a better heuse, in fact, than has greeted Mr. Crisp’s company since the opening night. Mr. Crisp, as Richard, though inefficiently sup ported in some of the principal characters, fully sustained his enviable reputation as one of the best, if not the best tragedian on the Southern beards. Mr. Hamilton, as Richmond, was very fine, especially in the finale. The remainder es the company, with some few exceptions, acquitted themselves creditably. Thalia and Momus reign to-night, and ail who wish to “laugh and grow fat,” should be on hand. The bill —Katherine and Petruchio, and the Serious Family —must, necessarily, draw a full houso. The Georgia Front. It is’haril to locate the Georgia front now. Our army is beyond the Kennesaw mountains, perhaps en the Rome and Kingston railroad. To go back a little: Whenour army crossed the Chattahoochee river in front of Palmetto and Newnan, Stewart’s corps was thrown across the Chattanooga railroad at Big Shan ty—the camp and garrison *at which place were captured without any resistance of con sequence. Picks and crow-bars and fire and blasting powder were at once applied to the railroad by the whole corps which vigorously pushed northward. Large and small garri sons were captured upon the route, the rails heated red hot and lapped around trees, the cross ties bnrnedand the cuts filled up. Thus everything worked prosperously until last Wednesday, when French’s division of Stewart's corps was directed to take Alatoona. Dispositions were made around the town asd* the garrison, and a formal demand for surren der sent in. This was refused, when an as sault was ordered which succeeded m carry ing the first and second lines. The Yankee commander then offered te capitulate, but Gen. French refused. Our men were led against the remaining works, but after a stub born and bloody struggle they were repulsed. Gen. French then drew eff leaving his dead «.nd wounded in the hands of the enemy. On Thursday Stewart came up with the whole corps, and on Friday assailed and car ried Alatoona after a desperate fight of two hours. We captured four thousand prisoners and an immense pile of arms, stores, clothing and yankee outfits of war generally. The march was from thence renewed up the railroad and will no doubt be continued as far as Daltou, from whence General Hood will make a detour to the left of Chattanooga and cross the Tennessee river near Huntsville. Atlanta is now garrisoned by Gen. Slocum and the 20th yankee array corps. Gen. Iver son last Thursday captured East Point and drove the enemy’s pickets beyond Whitehall, which place Gen. I. held for several hours, and from there he could plainly overlook At lanta and its garrison of blue coats. All the stories about the evacuation and burning of Atlanta are false. General Iverson captured fifty wagons at East Point in splendid condition, together with an immense quantity of extra harness. There was also near there—there and thereabouts— the wreck and debris of seventy-five burned army wagons and a hecatomb of equine bones. One ot the captured wagons was loaded with bacon. Three hogsheads of sugar were also secured but given to the citizens. Our pickets are just outside of musket range of the yankee works, and no blue coat, ever leaves his works without being greeted with a load of lead. The enemy have not a mounted man in the city—all his light horse having been sent after Forrest, Wheeler and Hood. Nor have they any forage upon which to feed stock if they had any to feed. So that the people of Georgia need apprehend no raid at the present. Sherman himself went to Washington a few weeks ago for the purpose of having a talk with the Royal Baboon. He is now in Nash ville headed off by Forrest, and Gen. Thomas is in command of his flanked and outwitted army. The yankees in Georgia are in decidedly a bad predicament. They can only cut their way through Gen. Hood’s army or surrender. We may not capture it entire but we are sure of all his wagons and his artillery. \LaGrange Reporter , 12(A ♦ —«».«. [From the Richmond Dispatch, 10th.] The War Hews. FROM BELOW RICHMOND. On Friday night our cavalry had a small skirmish on the Darbytown road, which amounted to but little, both sides losing some prisoners. We were at first forced back, but finally drove the Yankees a mile and a half. All was quiet during the whole of yester day, except that our gunboats threw a few shell at Fort Harrison. FROM THE VALLEY. An official dispatch states that a body of the enemy, a thousand in number, advanced up the Manassas Gap railroad on the 4th in stant, having in charge a train of wagons loaded with railroad material, and occupied Salem and Rectortown, in Faquier county. Mosby attacked them at Salem and defeat ed them, capturing fifty -prisoners, all their baggage and camp equipage, stores, &c., and killing and wounding a considerable number of them. His loss was tivo wounded. An official dispatch received at the "War Department states that Sheridan is still mov ing down the Valley. A large force of his cavalry was attacked by us on the 7th inst., and drove them handsomely, capturing a num ber of horses, several ambulances, some wag ons, nine forges with teams, some fifty prison ers, besides killing and wounding a number. Latest Northern dates express great uneasi ness concerning Sheridan. They say they have heard nothing from him for a week; that his couriers are all captured and his sup ply trains are cut off. They are boastful of his successes, but it is evident that they are fearful that his losses now will amount to more than his gains in his grand rush up the’ Valley to Staunton and Waynesboro’. His flight from Waynesboro’, till he reached Har risonburg, was wild and precipitous, leaving dead men and broken-down negroes, caissons, wounded and exhausted horses and soldiers. It was only when our men relaxed in the vig orous pursuit that they began to pilfer and burn. They fired the barn of Mr. Isaac Par kins, on the Valley pike, about eight miles from Staunton. __ Une party spared it through entreaty, but another squad came along and applied the torch. The Herald of the 7th says they have re ceived nothing yet from Sheridan. It was reported that a force of rebel cavalry had dashed into Edinburg, a small town midway between Woodstock and Mount Jackson, burned the bridge and captured the guard. This is in Sheridan’s rear. Five Thousand Men Per Mile. —Since Grant established himself m front of Petersburg, he has lost five thousand men for every mile he has ad vanced. If our readers will take the trouble to count his losses in taking the Weldon road, thence to the Vaughan and now to the Squirrel Level road, they will find this a correct estimate. At this rate it will cost him 30,000 more men to roach tha Southside. More than that we reckon. [Peteiaburg Exprett. $5.00 Per Month Latest from tlie North. From the New York Herald of the 7th we take the following dispatches: A dispatch from Chattanooga, dated the 6th, says : At 6 o’clock on the morning of the sth, the enemy attacked All&toona with artillery and infantry. The position was occupied by a portion of Gen. Smith’s corps. The fight con tinued at intervals during the latter part ot the day, and every move of the enemy was handsomely repulsed with severe loss to the rebels. In the evening they hastily retreated towards Dalton and Dallas, leaving their dead and four to six hundred wounded in our pos session. Our loss was about 300 killed, wounded and missing. On the 4th instant, a large fores appeared on the Chattanooga railroad, near Acwortb station, destroyed several pieces of the track and burned Big Shanty. Two bridges across the Chattahoochee at Cartersville and Re3aca have been damaged by heavy rains. A rebel force, near Dalton, on the 3d, mov* ing in an easterly direction, had two hundred and fifty wagons. * A division of the rebel force was seen mov ing up the Etowah river, probably with the intention of crossing to this side. The Herald has New Orleans dates to the 29th ultimo: The rebel Trans-Mississippi army was said to be concentrating near Rodney for tho purpose of endeavoring to get on the east side of the Missis sippi river. The first Legislature of Louisiana, under the new free State constitution, was te meet on Mon day, the 3d inst. A few case3 of yellow fever had appeared at Al giers, opposite New Orleans, but none in the city. Bverything remained quiet in Mobile barber and vieinity. The rebels in Arkansas are still attempting to carry en a certain kind of disjointed system es government. There is a receiver of taxes in that State, representing tbe Richmond usurpation, who reports that he has received, under tbe law con fiscating Northern indebtedness, dne by the in habitants, one million three hundred and seventy thousand dollars, and sold confiscated property belonging to Northern people valued at over a million and a half dollars. Albert Pike is the rebel chief justice of Arkansas, and holds court at Washington, and is doing a large business in cen demning to death all the inhabitants who have taken tho oath of allegiance to the United States. The guerrillas are still very troublesome along White river, firing on passing steamers. At Ark adelphia, there is said to be a rebel garrison of twenty-live hundred. A private letter from St. Louis, dated October 1, says: I arrived in this city on Thursday night from St. Clair, and no train has come in from there since. The men stopped work on Thursday morn ing, and I fear by this time many of them are in the rebel service, as Price conscripts every man able to bear arms, and shoots every one that tries to escape. It was not believod that the rebels would go to St-Clair, although many men came in, stating the rebels.were at Richwood. and would be there in less than twenty, four hours. The reDels,eight thousand strong, have Franklin, and have burned all the bridges between St. Clair and Franklin, but I have not learned the fate of St. Clair ; but no one can escape from them, except through the woods. Citizens are coming here from the country south every hour, leaving their families and all to the tender mercies of the foe. Mineral Point, Potosi, Webster and Richwood have been taken, sacked and partially burned. It is believed that Price has .at loast twenty thousand well armed men, and that he will take the capital of tho State before we can arrest him ; but we are sure to capture the most of his army. The account of the operations before Richmond are very mea?re. They say that they ha ve strength ened their positions on the north side of James river and intend to hold them. The following is from the Herald’s gold article: The gold market, on the evening of the 6th, show ed considerable speculative activity, with an up ward tendency. The opening quotation was 192 1-4, followed by a steady advance to 1961-2. Then a rc to°k P* ace - After this it roso to 195 1-8, then sank to 194 3-8, from which it advanced rapidly to 197; a drop of one per cent, succeeded, and at a quarter to 5 p. m. the selling price was 196 1-2. The steamship Havana had arrived at New*York from Havana. On the 30th of August, the Mexicans, under Kamptner, captured the town of Zacualtipan. On the night previous, the Imperial forces, consisting of two hundred and fifty men, under Colonel Lar nnaga, abandoned the town. Thesteamship Roanoke, Captain Drew, from Ha vana for this port, has been due here since the 4th instant, having left Havana-on the 29th of Septem ber. \\ e learn from a reliable person on board the steamship Havana, arrived yesterday from Havana, that at the time the Roanoke sailed her captain was notified that among his passengers, thirty-five in number, were some of notorious secesh character; but ho said he was prepared for any emergency.— \V e hope her delay may be caused from some dis arrangement of machinery or other like cause: but fears are entertained for her safety. Brute Butler ox the Pkesidkxcy.— The ten der hearted and affectionate Butler, in a letter to Dear Cameron, (of Pennsylvania, Lincoln’s forinor Secretary ot War,) in which he bids adieu to his Democratic friends and takes sides with Lincoln, essays to satisfy his old confreres that there is no difficulty in the way of their voting for Lincoln. — lie says if they elect McClellan they remit the country to the hands of Vallandigham, Voorhees, Wood, Seymour and others, who. if ever they carry on the war, will disband two hundred thousand colored men now doing duty as soldiers. Butler is a trump. This argument will tell amongst Yankees. Two hundred thousand of them have no idea of putting themselves in the places of these negroes ! Butler ridicules all idea of debating the negro ques tion ol emancipation. It is an idle one ; for the armies settle it as they advance. Slavery termin ates wherever they appear. He objects with great earnestness to McClellan's proposition to give the South guarantees, and asks if it is possible anybody at the North will agree to concessions to the South, forced at the point of the bayonet? For himself, he declares he has but one article in his political creed, and that is “war,” until, the authority of the Union is acknowledged and its laws obeyed upon every foot of soil ever within the boundary of the United States.” Most amiable and conciliatory beast! May you have enough of war before you descend to youp final abode ! — Richmond Dispatch. Slavery ix the North.— Having put all the able-bodied contrabands into the army to do their fighting for them, the abolitionists are now engage! in dividing the women and children among them selves. Gen. Butler i3 at the head of this character istic scheme to supply domestic slaves to the favor ed philanthropists of the North. These unfortu nates, separated from fathers and brothers, are sent out into abolition families, where they are to work for their food and clothing. Thig, with “education and i eligiou3 privileges,” is to be their compensa tion. No wonder the "colored citizens of Williams burg, New York,” have held a meeting “condemn ing the movement.” Well did the Anglo-African say in bitterness: “It would be far better to be in the bonds of slavery, than to breathe the breath of freedom in such a withering atmosphere. It wou'd be better to be in the State prison than to be sol diers sustaining the banner of a country that has always kept us for its union aggrandizement—that has always used us enly because tho etoffe was genuine.” All Yankee'naval officers and seamen, prisoners of war in ourhands, were sent North from Rich mond by flag of truce. Saturday last. A Good Joke.—We take the following from the Jackson county (Wis.) Banner: Mr. E. L. Brockway, who is South pro-uring sub stitutes for this town, procured eleven negroes and was on his way home with them, when Wheeler’s cavalry made a raid on the railroad cutting it in a half dozen places. The train he was cm was attack ed, but he escaped, and so did most of the negroes, they taking the woods. He got five of the n egroes as far as. Nashville, when the provest marshal im pressed them, and Brock was left without a nigger to his back. New Mode of Planting Apple Trees.— A hort iculturist in Bohemia has a beautiful plantation Os the best apple trees, which have .neither sprung from seeds nor grafting. Theplan is, to take snoots from the choicest sorts, insert them in a potatoe, and plunge both in the ground, having put an inch or two of the shoots above the surface. Ihe potato nourishes the shoot while it pushes out roots, and the shoots gradually spring up and becomes a beautiful tree, bearing the best fruit, without re* quiring to be grafted.

[The remainder of the dispatch it is not deemed expedient to publish : suffice it to say the “War Eagle” will be found at the right time and in the right place.]— Mobile Register, 12 th. From Missouri. # Northern accounts state that, on the 4th, Price was threatening Rolla. Large detachments of Confederate troops are committirtg depredations in the portion of the State north of the Missouri river. The devotion of the people of Northern Missouri to the Confederate cause is truly astonishing, censidering the fact that they aro cut eff frem the South by the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, whose powerful waters are traversed and guarded day and night by the guaboatsof the enemy. They have been trampled upon, whole towns sacked and burned and once thickly populated sections en tirely devastated. The young men being in the Confederate army, they revenged themselves by base and cowardly retaliation on all which could be dear to them. Old men have been shot in their houses, and boys hurled by the ruffian soldiers inte the river, and left te drown, or they have been tied dewn in the burning buildings and perished in the flames. The females have been insulted and outraged, and then compelled to wash the filthy clothes of the Yankee soldiery upon pain of death on refusal. A Major Fester, of the Yankee army, who had charge of the post of Warrensburg, Johnson county, Missouri, passing down the streot, saw a man of Southern proclivities sitting beside tho fire with his wife, and, drawing his revolver, he shot him dead through the window. Yet, with all this suffering, they are still true to us. The drafted militia desert aud lly te tho South ern army. A short time since two regiments of militia were organized and armed by the Federals at an inland post. General Shelby was reported to be marching on the place. The Missourians turned upon the Yankees, whipped out the force tit the post, and when Shelby arrived, they turned themselves, their arms, and everything belong ing to the post, over to tho Confederate general. In the engagement at Pilot Knob our forces cap tured three guns and Ewing’s wagon train and its escort. They burnt the Iron Works and all the Government buildings, and made a complete smash of the the records ami arrangements for Lincoln’s draft. Yankee accounts say that “the valleys and mountains are literally covored with rebels.” A raiding party had appeared within four miles of St. Louis. Northern dates of the 7th state that on Tuesday last (4th) the rebel General Stirling Price, with a force of about twenty thousand, was six miles west of Union, marching westward tewatd* Jeffer son City, designed to take the place, install a se cession governor, and hold the State for Jeff. Davis. Union is the county seat of Franklin county, and fifty miles from Jefferson, and some twenty miles south of the Missouri river, and forty miles west of St. Louis. The Herald of the 7th also states that Generals A. J. Smith and Mower are pursuing him, and it* is expected, will soon make Missouri tee warm for him. General Ewing arrived at St. Louis on Wed nesday night, after having been cut off from cem manieation with that place since his retreat from Pilot Knob, about a week From that time he had almost continual fighting with the rebels until Saturday last, when he inflicted on them a decisive defeat. On Sunday his command reached Rolla, with all their artillery. His total loss from the beginning of the siege of Rolla wa3 pnly three“hun<ired men mostly taken prisoners. [Rich. Die. lOf/t. A Retrospect of&rant’s Cam* palgru. A late northern paper thinks its readers cannot have employed an hour better than the perusal of tho article on this subject, in a late paper, from the National Intelligencer. They may have been so amazed at the stolid indifference es the Admin istration as to have forgotten to look at its cest in blood —the very best blood of the army. We propose, says the journal to which we have above alluded, to show that, in detail, by a brief men tion of the dates and engagements, with ;thcr loss of men in each case : May 5, Rapidan 2,000 May 6, Wilderness 15,000 May 7, skirmishes 3 ( 00 May 10, Spotsylvani- 10,000 May 12, Spotsylvania 10,000 May 18, Po 1,200 Mag 19, Po 1,200 May 28, Nerth Anna 1,000 May 24, North Anna, 2,000 May 31, Celd Harbor /V , '7 June 3, Chickahominy..... / 7,000 June 16, Petersburg, 2,000 June 17, Petersburg 1,000 June 18, Petersburg 3,000 June 19, Petersburg 4,000 June 22, Weldon railroad 2,500 June 23, Weldon railroad 1,000 June 26, Danville railroad 3*500 Last assault on Petersburg 5,640 Absoluto loss of men 73,310 — The antagonists of the President may be right in their ebjection to his policy. What then ? Is it of profit to divide and exasperate the country at this time upon such questions? These questions are of importance to show the incompetency of the President or the defects of the Confederate Constitution. In either case it is better to post pone tho decision until the country shall bo bet ter prepared to examine into their merits. The President can only be reached by impeachment in the Senate or by a counter revolution. Are we prepared for a counter revolution ? In such case w# must put some other men at the head of affairs. Is the country willing to displace the President ? If so who are they willing to put in his place ? The inquiry shows the absurdity of supposing that discontent or violence are our remedies.
