Tuesday Evening, In consequence of the non-arrhral cf the eastern mail to time our noon edition this evening is minus reading matter of interest. The delay was occasioned bj the train run ning off the switch at Macon. No body hurt. mm ♦ mi Theatre.—That sermon in disguise, Bulwer’s ini:nitab!e comedy of Money , was received withr tremendous plaudits at the theatre last evening. Miss Maggie Marshall seems to be growing into public favor as a ballad singer. Her voice though lacking compass and strength is swtet and melo dious. Box and Cox, owing to Mrs. Clarke’s illness, was substituted for Pleasant Neighbor, as the af terpiece. As for the latter, it has so often been before the public it has almost ceased to he pleas ant. “A strain of music when first heard, pleases ; at the fifth time, enchants ; at the fiftieth, produces ennui\ at the hundredth disgusts.” So with farce. “Fighting Joe Hooker” has been put in com mand at Cincinnati, where since Kirby Smith’s movements in that direction, thero has been no danger. Hooker has been sont there to keep him out of harm’s way. There are three columns of advertisements in the New York Herald, from bounty and substitute agents. Such a strain to get recruits the world never saw. Some of these advertisements are well worth publishing as part of the history of the times. 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 enrollment act. Those who would obey his man date dare not do so in the face of the guerrillas 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 mand is in the front, doing good and hard service, harrassing the Yankees on all sides, i almost daily skirmishing, in which the Yan ! kees are driven under shelter of the sand hills. Five of Steowalter’s men recently run twenty five Yanks under cover. 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 ern Confederacy, 18(A. 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. Yrllow Fiver. — We bear there are many extravagant reports in the interior relative to the prevalence of yellow fever in Savannah. Some of the accounts represent our city as in a deplorable condition. In correction of all such statements, we would say that there is no epidemic of any kind here at the present time. A few cases ot yellow fever have occurred, some of which have proved fatal, and all orig 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. $5.00 Per Month 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. j 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. J. S. CURTIS, Capt. 72d 111., Infy. 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.

Butler has put the Confederates to work on Dutch Gap Canal because he asserts we have negro citi zens working on trenches. Gold 212f. 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: Headquarters, District op Vicksburg, } Vicksburg, Mis*., Sept. 22, 1864. j Special Orders, No. 131. * * * * * * 11. Mr. H. L.

The house now occupied by Mr. Bend will be turned over to Captain Earnest, Depot Quarter master, f*r assignment as quarters, by order of the Major General commanding. Captain CurtUs, Provost Marshal, will assess tw* hundred and fifty ($250) .dollars on disloyal citizens, and will turn the same over to Mrs. Bon nie, to reimburse hor in part for her losses. ****** By order of Maj. Gen. N. J. T. DANA. H. C. Rodgbrs, Assistant Adjutant General. __ +- ♦ ♦ From Bhlow. —We have nothing of interest from below, except what is in the form of rumor.
