Box and Cox, owing to Mrs. Clarke’s illness,

There are three columns of advertisements in

Yankee Prisoners Removed.—The Yankee pri
soners have been removed irom Andersonville, Ga„
to safer points. When they began to take the cars
for their new destination, believing it to be for the
purpose of exchange, they were in high spirits It
is reported that to the inquiry as to whom they
would vote at the ensuing Presidential election,
with scarcely a dissenting voice they replied, en
thusiastically, Lincoln, se great was the delight at
the supposed exchange.
Andy Johnson, it would seem from the Nashvillo
papers, meets with poor success in enforcing his

everywhere swarming the country, who swear
bloody vengeance against the executioners of this
law.
The Yankees are still at the Brazos, Texas,
in considerable force. Col. Showalter’3 com

Five of Steowalter’s men recently run twenty

In answer to inquiries as to what will be
the course of the Government towards detail
ed farmers, relative to the bonds they have
given for furnishing their surplus produce, at
schedule rates, now that they are ordered to
the field, the Lynchburg Republican says, we
understand that these farmers will be paid for
what they have already furnished in compli
ance with the condition of their bonds, and
that they will be released from all obligations
hereafter under those bonds. The Re
publican also expresses an opinion that this
course seems to be perfectly just and fair to
both parties, and we believe entirely satisfac
tory to the class whose interests are involved.
We doubt both propositions.
The Last Battle Order of Gf.n. A. Sydney
Johnson.—A correspondent sends the Savannah
Republican a copy of this order, and requests its
publication. It was issued on the bloody field of
Shiloh, where its noble author gave his life to his
country. The correspondent regards it as the most
nobio piece of military literature the war has pro
duced, and like “Chevy Chase,” it stirs the heart
like a trumpet:
Soldiers of the Army of Mississippi: I have put
you in motion to offer battle to the invaders of your
country. With resolution and disciplined valor,
becoming men fighting, as you are, for all that is
worth living or dying for, yeu can but march to de
cisive victory over the agrarian mercenaries who
have been sent to despoil you of your liberties,
your property and your honor.
Remember the precious stake that is involved in
this conflict; remember the dependence of your
mothers, your wives, your sisters, and your children,
is upon the result.
fair, broad, abounding land, the
happy hornesT and ties that would be dissolved and
desolated by your defeat.
The eyes and hopes of eight millions of people
rests upon you. You are expected to show your
selves werfhy of your race and your lineage; worthy
of the women of the South, whose noble devotion
in this war has never been exceeded at any time.
With such incentives to brave deeds, and in the
trust that God is with you, your generals will lead
you confidently to the combat, fully assured of its
ultimate and glorieus success.
Hood’s Army. —The Army of Tennessee
was undoubtedly at LaFayette on the 11th
of this month. Where it moved to from that
place we will not attempt to say, but of one
thing we feel confident, that it will be heard
from at the proper time, and will render a
proper accounUof itself.
We are relieved of the fears entertained a
few weeks ago, that the army would not fol
low Gen. Hood with that confidence so essen
tial to victory aud success ; but in spite of the
efforts that have been made to impress upon
the army that he was a rattlebrain “without
name or prestige of success,” his movements,
which hare been so brilliant and rapid for the
past fortnight, have been executed by soldiers
too intelligent not to see the genius of the
man, and eo complete has been the revolution
of sentiment in the army that his presence is
greeted with a shout by th# same men who
were retreating with broken spirit wben be
took command of them.
All we have ever asked for Gen. Hood was a
fair chance, and now that the army is enthused
by his movements with a confidence ia his
ability and their own power to redeem their
lost fortunes let no mam predict failure, but
rather let him keep his doubts to himself un
til he can express them without*endangering
the interests of the army and country.—South

Thr Oil Wells of Pennsylvania.—The wells
of petroleum oil in Western Pennsylvania are
yielding marvellous fortunes. The New York
Herald, in neticing them, says:
There is one petroleum aristocrat, for example,
whe has an income of three thousand dollars a day
and goes to a country town in New York to waste
it. There is another petroleum aristocrat who has
the same income—and remains in the oil region:
where he cannot find a house large enough to hold
his money, and has to refuse greenbacks because
they are bulky. Another aristocrat is not twenty
years old, and his income is twe*thousand dollars a
day. He was a poor, adopted boy a few years ago,
and now he rules the rural roast like a provincial
priace. He bets seventy-five thousand dollars on
a card; he buys a splendid span of borses and a
new carriage! takes a drive, and presents the whole
equipage to nis coachman: he indulges in all the
foolish and riotous extravagances cf a man who has
more mosey than he wants and can find no place to
spendfit. Let him eeme on to New York aad he
can spend bis two thousand per diem like a gentle
man and run in debt besides, unless he practices
economy and avoids fashionable tauers, betels and
restaurants,”
[Correspondence Advertiser k Register.]
Fetter from East Louisiana.
Ostka, Miss., Oct. JO, 1864.
Your special correspondent aad my partic
ular old friend ‘‘Crescent” have doubtless, ere
this, informed you of matters aad things per
taining to the late Yankee visit to Clinton and
I his retreat therefrom; it is therefore left to
j this “occasional” to speak more of things in
I this particular vicinity, it being at present
minus the telegraph from Clinton, and out of
' “Crescent’s” beat.
Leaving Tangipahoa (or Camp Moore, as
the place is now more generally styled) for
Clinton on Thursday, I got within ten miles
of the latter place before discovering that the
Yankees were in it. Next morning put back
for Tangipahoa, but when near Greensburg
j found that another party of Yanks had been
cavorting around there, and had left in the
direction of Tangipahoa or Osyka, Feeling a
little flanked, stopped at a farmhouse to con
sider, jointly, “the situation” and a good din
ner; the which were still under considera
tion when a breathless neighbor came eutting
across a field to inform us that a fresh crowd
of 2000 Yankee cavalry bad just entered
Greensburg and commenced foraging aud pil
laging all around, and were even at that mo
ment plundering the nex\ farm only a quar
ter of mile off. The strategy adopted on this
occasion, 1 rather flatter myself, was worthy
of a Confederate soldier and ofyour occasion
al correspondent. It requires no particular
description. “Suffice to say,” I found out the
luxury of back-doors, by-paths through the
fields, &c., and for the first time in my life,
was willing to consider the inner recesses of
a swamp as among the sweetest of terrestrial
paradises. The briars, mud, musquitoes, &c.,
that I would have cursed under other circum<*
stances, I now adored as Epecial blessings
vouchsafed by the Goddess of Liberty for the
protection of her sons in case of sudden emer
gency.
That evening the Yanks were horsing all
round us, and planted pickets for tho night
in every direction. Our party in the swamp
scouted around the edges continually, and it
was not until Saturday afternoou that we
found the coast clear, and emerged from the
jungle. Whilst waiting for a square evening
meal, another messenger arrived with the
news that the Yanks had left Greensburg on
ly a few miles, and gone into camp for the
night. Dispensing with the supper and moun
ting our “aui-mules,” peuetrated the northern
wilderness, whistling as we went,|“shine on
silver moon, guide the traveller on his way,”
and so forth. Stopped for the night at a hos
pitable cot in the woods, aadtbe next day, by
circuitous by-paths and cautious approaches,
reached Osyka, and breathed free.
The people of Greensburg were plundered
of almost everything—forage, food, negroes,
horses and mules, women’s and children’s, a3
well as men’s clothing, poultry, knives and
forks, in short everything that could be car
ried off. This work was done chiefly by for
eigners iu the Yankee command, so the citi
zens say.
A neighboring tannery was burnt, and the resi
dence of Capt. Addison, -he Quartermaster, would
also have been burnt, In or the tearful solicita
tions of his wife. ( ■ V, escaped at’first, but
stealing back te scs s family were gettiag
on, was “gobbled subjected to the bitter
est humiliation i a slare woman who
dressed herse! e aud transformed her
self into a Y s soon as the Yankees
arrived. TU- . politely installed in the
Captain’s f ige, and he compelled to
mount the "!- /o her to Baton Rouge.
The first > .aiders that visited Greens
burg and ti Isyka, was only 100 strong,
and comma' ... Major Bacon Montgomery,
of tho 6th-M ..i cavalry. This fellow affected
the chivalrous, was extremely polite to citizens
and ladies, and allowed his men to take nothing
more than was necessary for the sustenance of
themselves and horses. He compelled a lady to
accompany him twenty miles to show the route
to Greensburg, and at Greensburg picked up Mr.
Carter, Sheriff of St. Helena Parish, and compelled
him to pilot the way to Osyka. Confederate offi
cers and soldiers were gobbled up wherever found,
and all guns destroyed and pistols carried off.—
From Osyka they returned to Greensburg, leaving
Mr. Carter at his home, and sparing his property
in consideration of the forced service he bad ren
dered.
They entered Osyka unheralded, and made for
the telegraph office first of all, surprising and cap
turing Mr. Austin,-the operator on duty. Mont
gomery took an axe and with his own hands
chopped up the telegraph machine and part es the
battery; then handing the axe to one of his men,
ordered him to cut down the telegraph poles in
front of the office. The soldier looked at the poles,
felt the edge of the axe, and said, “ D—d if Ido
it with this axe—tho poles may go to hell!” and
so the poles wore left standing. My little humor
ous friend Austin, who is addicted to Latin lacon
ics, and whose office motto was semperparatus, ex
claimed, with a melancholy smile, as he rode off
in a wagon with the Yankees, nil desperandam.
The other operator, Allyne, was at his boarding
house, and would have been lifted but for the
timely warning an old negro woman gave him.
The Adjutant of the post, Mcllatton, and th#
Commissary, Moran, were likewise surprised iu
their offices and carried off. Capt. IValshe, the
Commandant, was at home when the Yanks came
to his door. He just had time to jump into bed
with his boots on, and get under cover, and be
very sick, when they entered. His sickness and
story were so well gotten up that they kindly left
him in bed. His friend, t Dimitry, who was really
sick, but outside on his feet, was carried off.
Tangipahoa was not visited by the raiders, as at
first reported. Some of our own men, said to be
long to Edwards’ Battalion of Reserves, being
temporarily disbanded for want of arms, took ad
vantage of the prevailing excitement to do a
little jayhawking, and cleaned out tho store of
Ben. Butman, or took what they wanted ; on the
pretext that the goods were Yaukea goods and
contraband, and held at outrageously exorbitant
prices, in Confederate currency. The townf«lks
mistook them for Yankees at the time the thing
was done, and some stampeding took place.
Magnolia, ten miles above here, was net Visited.
The Confederate Manufacturing Company’s steam
tannery at that place—one of the greatest insti
tutions es the kind in America—has never yet been
molested, but has stood idle since first the Yan
kees began their invasions of the neighborhood.
Th# gentlemanly Superintendent, Mr. Knox, has
taken such excellent care of the works that they
could now be put in full operation at 24 hours’
notice. As this tannery can turn out as much
leather as all the other tanneries in Mississippi
put together—say 200 sides daily, as leng as hides
and bark hold out—it is really a pity t# see it
standing idle. But itean hardly be made avail
able without a restoration of the railroad, and
some security against Yankee maraudings.
The Yankee invaders are reported still to be
near Greensburg; their commanding General,
Lee, having his headquarters at Williams’ Bridge,
on Amite river. Our insufficient forces have been
reinforced, and ere this reaches you the telegraph
may tell you es a lively fight or foot-race some
where in East Louisianna. I. G.

inating, it is thought, with a soldier from
Virginia who spent several nights in Charles
ton. The cases are regarded by our phvsi-.
cians as entirely sporadic in their character;
there is no exeitemeut here about the disease,
and no fears felt of an epidemic at this late
season. We have numerous refugees amongst
us at th# present time, who seem quite con
tent to remain.— Savannah Republican.

Gen. Rosecrans and “Rebel”
Ladies.
Gen. Rosecrans has issued the follow*
i ing order:
j “Head’rs Dep’t of Missouri, )
St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 13, 1864.
“Special Orders, No. 250.
The papers in the case of Miss 'Sue
M. Bryant, of Boonesville, show that she
wrote a letter sending her “never dying
love to the bushwhackers, and prayed God
to bless them in all their undertakings.
That she subsequently denied under oath
' having any sympathy for them. That
from her friends’ letters in her behalf she
had evidently persuaded them to believe
she was arrested merely for wearing and
displaying colors which were meant to
proclaim her an enemy of her State and
i country, which she must have known to
be true.
“That she moreover avowed her will to
give aid and comfort to the enemies of the
State and country in which she was rear'
ed, and which protects her parents and
herself. She is, therefore, unworthy of
credence, or to reside in the country.
But, in consideration of her youth, sex,
and the worth of her friends, who wish
to save her from ruin, on the high road to
which she has so evidently and early en
tered, the Commanding General directs
that she be permitted to return to her
friends, on her oath and adequate securi
ty for her future good behavior.
“The letters of Miss Bryant and Miss
Mayfield will be published to warn
thoughtful parents and teaches, whether
Christians or not, of the fearful down*
ward course of the youth of our State,
when educated girls, of respectable pa*
rents, write such letters and express sym
pathy with outlaws, thieves and murder
ers, more degraded than the savages, who
murder the inhabitants of our frontier
settlements.
“By command of Maj. Gen. Rosecrans.
' J, F. BENNETT, A. A. G.”
The letters in question are published
| with the order.
Here is one of the letters “that roars
! so loud and thunders in the Index
Marshall, Saline C0.,1
August 2, 1864. \
Mi/ Own Sweet Mintie : —Give a cares
less glance at the reading of my letter,
and you will perceive that I am in my
precious old couutry, aud enjoying mys
self more than words or pens can tell. I
have enjoyed myself, but brother has to
leave tomorrow, and then we have no
more pleasure. It was reported that the
bushwhackers were coming to town last
night, and you never saw such running
in your life among the feds, negroes and
Union peopie. There were only three
men in Marshall. Don’t you thiuk we
ladies had a pleasant time. I received a
long and dear letter from Lou. M. She
is well, and enjoying herself very well.
She'will be in Boonesville this week.
Don’t you wish you could see her old reb
el self? I do. While I write you can
hear the distant roar of some cannon that
is bringing some poor to his long
and narrow home. “So mote it be.” It
isyn the direction of Glasgow. If you
see the bushwhackers, give them my nevs
er dying love and say to them, “God bless
them and all their wise undertakings.”
The Richmond Enquirer says:
This man Rosecrans was a gentleman
when this war began ; his treatment of
the officers and men captured at Rich
Mountain won the respect and admiration
of the captured men, but the conduct of a
gentleman, and the decent laws of hu
manity, are not within Lincoln’s system
|of subjugation. The man that could de
! liberately write, and over his name pub-
I lish the above gross outrage to a defence*
| less woman, is a brutal, cowardly tyrant,;
| unfit to command soldiers, and the peer
only of Butler, Turchin and McNeil. The
letter of Miss Bryaut conveys nothing
that a lady might not write, and its senti
ments are ,those of every brave and loyal
woman of the South.

Here is the way the Yankees regulate
the rents at Vicksburg :
Office of Provost Marshal, ")
Vicksburg, Miss., Sept. 24. J
Since the capture of this place by the
Federal Authorities, owners of real es«
, tate have steadily advanced.the rates of
' rent, until they have become extortion
ate and intolerable. In order to protect
loyal men, and the poor, I am directed by
! the Major-General Commanding this Dis*.
trict to notify all parties concerned that
in no case will the lessee of any tene
ment pay or the landlord receive a sum
exceeding twentj'five per cent, above the
rate paid previous to the commencement
of the present rebellion.

Provost Marshal.
The London correspondent of the New
York Herald writes that an agent of Jeff.
Davis’ government has lately arrived there
from the South, armed with extraordinary
power and on a special mission. His
mission is iron. He has estimated for
several thousand tons ot railroad iron—
made on purpose for the Southern rail
roads, to renew and repair the permanent
way of the leading lines throughout the
South —a matter of vital importance in
conducting their military operations. The
rails are light— not over half the weight
of ordinary rails They are cheaper, and
go much further, besides being more ea-G
ly handled and laid down. These are to
be taken in small cargoes at a time and
run the blockade, principally into Vil
mington. The payment for these sup
plies' is to be in cotton coming out upon
the return voyage.

From Mississippi.
The Jackson Mississippian gives theannexed
account of the recent doings of Yankees in
that State :
The past week has been replete with rumors
and facts of Yankee raids—one paid a visit to
Woodville, and destroyed the business portion
of the place, including one or two private res
idences, and drove off all the stock that could
be found.
Another visited Port Gibson, near the .Mis
sissippi river, and marched from there to Fay
ette, in Jefferson county, doing, as far as we
can learn, but little damage, further than cap
turing and carrying off some of the prominent
citizens in and around the former place—the
Hon. H. T. Ellettand family and several ladies
being among the number, aud carrying off all
the stock they could find, especially sheep, as
in the raid on Woodville.
Another'paid a visit to Osyka, on the X. 0.
J. & G. X. Railroad, burnt one storehouse and
a private residence, and committed various
other acts of vandalism—plunder and the
wanton destruction of property they could not
carry off or use, seeming to be their object.
Another raid started from Vicksburg a few
day3 ago, and paid a visit to the Deer Creek
Country, conducting themselves pretty much
as in the above cases.
Still another party composed of Osboru’s ne
gro regiment of cavalry, made a raid out from
Skipwith’s landing, in Louisi .nn. and succeed
ed in capturing a fine lot of beef cattle collect
ed in that vicinity for our Government, -and
wantonly destroyed the furniture of several
residences, and the wardrobes of the ladies of
the families they visited. Several of the ma
rauders were made to bite the du3t by a party
of Confederate scouts ia the neighborhood.
We have heard of no battle being fought
with any of these parties of thieVfes, except iff
the latter instance and that those from Port
Gibson were met by a portion of Cobb’s scouts,
who after a gallant little fight were nearly all
captured.
From Lower Mississippi.
A correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser speaks
thus of matters!* Lower Mississippi:
A terrible gang of these outlaws have been ren
dezvousing in comparative security amid the jungles
of Honey Island—a swamp island somewhere near
the mouth of Pearl River —and issuing forth on re
gular Comanche raids of outrages and robbery.—
Among their recent victims was an old widow lady,
living unprotected in the country, with some thou
sands of dollars in gold hidden away for a rainy day.
Their threats not terrifying her sufficiently, they
took her out to a tree, put a rope round her neck,
and were about to swing her up. as she thought,
when she told where the gold was, and they got it
and left. Since then, Capt. Aaronstein’s mounted
company, stationed at Franklin, have been paying
them a visit. Landing on the Island they surprised
»portion of the banditti, killed one, and brought
off eleven prisoners, with horses, mules, guns, etc.
The Island will be visited again, as soon as the ade
quate force can be spared.
Gen. Tayler’s late order, allowing parties exempt
from military service to bring from the enemy’s lines
any and all kinds of goods needed by the Govern
ment, and receive their pay in cotton, with permis
sion to take it to the enemy, has created quite astir
in this region. There is yet much cotton scattered
around through South Mississippi and East Louisi
ana, and I have n o doubt much of it will go through
this way. The Government will be benefitted in
two ways: the contraband trade in superfluities will
be lessened, if not stopped, and valuable army sup
plies obtained for that pertioa of cotton which fbe
ing confiscated) cests the Government nothing. The
plan certainly ought to work well.
Hare is the latest order of banishment we have
seen from Dana:
