1 Important Movement.” —For the last few
days the Macon papers have been boastfully
timing at an important movement that was
about to take p;ace in Georgia. Among the
rest, the Intelligencer became 30 jubilant that
we almost expected to see our old neighbor
start for Atlanta at once. The article in that
journal indicated plainly enough in-what di
rection this movement would be made, but in
the Macon correspondence of the Augusta
Register we lind something more definite.
The writer referred to, says :
W hile Hood is operating on the State road
in Sherman’s rear, and the enemy are looking
after him, leaving Atlanta protected by a
comparatively email force, a movement is on
foot in this part of the country, which will
doubtless wrench *hat city from their hands
and make them regret the day they ever saw
it A column of six or ten thousand men
thrown rapidly against Atlanta would certain
ly capture it and its garrison which is believed
to be very small. Where this column is to
come from, I can’t say—sufficient to know
that it will not weaken Hood, aad will be com
manded by a gallant and skillful general who
knows how and when to strike. It will be a
death blow to Sherman’s Georgia campaign,
and will tsach Yankee impudence a lesson in
regard to Southern arms and Georgia’s reso
lution. Everything for the early possession
of Atlanta looks bright. Let the Atlanta ex
iles cheer up, for they can soon return to their
own homes and firesides.
The realization of the promises here made,
will indeed be joyful news.
[Special to the Montgomery Mail.]
Jacksonville, Ala,, October 15th.— Last
night General Beauregard was serenaded, and
appeared before a large audience ot citizens
aDd soldiers. He assured them that thus far,
all is well, and that our army hae captured
Resaca, Dalton and Ringgold. The loss hag
been Blight.

E. P.
From tiie Front.
Mail Office, Montgomery, )
Tuesday, Oct. 18th, 1864. /
Our news from the front is interesting. The
speech of General Beauregard at Jacksonville,
reported by our special correspondent an
nounces the capture of Dalton, Resaca and
Ringgold, the three most important statious
on the State Road (Jacksonville, the point
from which we receive our intelligence, is just
beyond Blue Mountain, and in direct rear of
our army.) General Hoad’s headquarters we
are informed were at last accounts near Lee k
Gordon’s Mills, whilst Sherman was marching
out for Chattanooga by way of Rossville!
Thus affairs are shaping chemselves for an
other battle upon the field of Chickamauga.
May it prove a victory as signal ! May it3
results prove less disastrous !
The capture of the towns indicated, we are
assured, was attended with but slight less.
Sherman was, doubtless, rapidly retreating,
and we had only to encounter his rear guard.
Ringgold is twenty-two miles this *ide of
Chattanooga, and nine from Lea k Gordon’s
Mills, and the same distance fi;om Red House
Ford and other points, made historic by frhc
events of last year. Rossville is a little cross
road station in Lookout Valley, five or six
miles out of Chattanooga. Sherman has for*,
tified all the passes upon Missionary Ridge;
but if we can defeat and drive him before us,
we may enter Chattanooga by that broad
gap, which is made by the extreme left of Mis
sionary Ridge and the base of Lookout Moun
tain, which cannot be securely fastened against
the entry of an enemy.
The force of tiie Federals is estimated to be
large ; but we have the choice of ground and
are concentrated.
The cavalry fighting upon the flanks of the
army we imagine amounts to nothing of a de
cisive nature.— Montgomery Mail , 19M.
[Correspondence Montgomery Advertiser.]
Letter from Talladega.
Talladega, Oct. 15, 1864.
The extraordinary-movement of Gen. Hood
has up to this time been successful. It is not
for me to give to your readers the precise lo
cation of that army, but they may rest assured
that all Northern Georgia and even Chatta
nooga will either be incur hands before the
wane of another moon) or that the Federal
garrisons that may be left along the line will
be isolated.
It took Gen. Sherman six months of march
ing and fighting to gain that which he has lost
in fourteen days ; for our army has marched
from Palmetto one hundred and fifty miles
north in that time. The boys have moved
divested of everything except a few days’ ra
tions in their haversacks, and their arms.
Their pace has been quickened by merry
hearts at The thought of a forward movement
and the consciousness that the campaign
would end in the redemption of all the terri
tory they have lost in two years’ hard fighting
and unheard of privations.
And.still forward, onward, northward ! is
the watchward and tke order. Atlanta and
its sad memories are left far in the rear. Ner
need the country regard this as a reckless
march and a move of desperation, as the Yan
kees do no doubt. General Beauregard is in
tbe field, and all the strategy of that renown
ed hero will be displayed in the campaign.
But we must net fail to give te Gen. Hoot
the praise of planning and reward of carrying
out this great flank movement. It is fash
ionable to give to others the suggestion of this
movement, and I have heard that it was tht
plan of Gen. Johnstea, of Gea. Bragg, of Gen
Beauregard, or es President Davia, all thieL
errer. Tbe movement meets with their fu
approbation, however.
The men moving towards the front are per
fectly wild with enthusiasm. On the marc
from Palmetto te Gedartown many of thet
wore eut and threw away their ahees. The
were sent te Blue Mountain to get new ones
but upon arriving there nene had come up.-
Thej refused te wait for them a few daye, bi
pressed forward barefooted, saving tbatGe-
Hood might need them and that they were and
termined to see this campaign through.
My news from the eaemv is that he is marc’
iag up the other side of the Chattanooga a:
Atlanta railroad, but has up to this time be
unable to at all interfere with our line
march. There w&3 a cavalry fight near Ro*
onla*t Wednesday and Thursday in which
lost 75 men killed and wounded, and t
pieces of artillery. The tight was made
our part for the purpose of protecting afi
over which a train was passing. Tbe f<
was protected, but in the fight our troopers
were worsted.
We get nothing from Forcest later than
what you already know. Ho is, or was, con
siderably to the west of us, and no commuai.
cation between. He will no doubt join Gen.
Hood’s main %rmy in a very short while, and
then with our whole army concentrated upon
the interior line and the enemy scattered in
little garrisons from Nashville to Atlanta,
what may the country expect? For my part
I expect the enemy to be whipped and de
stroyed in detail.
DUNLEITH.

Army Correspondence Savannah Republican.
Richmond, Oct. 14th.
At 7 o'clock yesterday morning the enemy en
deavored to advance between the Darbytewa and
Charles City roads below Richmond, but was re
pulsed in every attempt by Fields’ division. Re
peated attempts were made between 7 in the morn
ing and four in the afternoon, to break through
our lines, both by infantry and cavalry, but with
eut success. The mest strenuous effert was made
about 4 p. m., after which the enemy withdrew,
“leaving many dead,” according to Gen. Lee’s of
ficial despatch. The same despatch states that
our loss is very slight, including, however, Major
Willis Jones of Kentucky,, the efficient Adjutaut
General es Fields’ Division, who fell early in the
action.
It is not believe that the enemy expected to gain
any very important advantage by this movement.
It was probably only a preliminary manoeuvre, and
the real assault will follow hereafter, and it may
be very soon. Indeed, it is now believed that
Grant’s last grand effort will be made within the
next ten days—anyhow in time for the Presiden
tial election the first week in November,. Rein
forcements of new recruits and convalescents from
the hospitals continue to reach him, and trans
ports laden with troops and supplies pass up and
down the river daily and nightly. The Federal
authorities are exerting themselves to the uttermost
to forward the reinforcements called for by Grant,
and without which, as was stated in my last letter,
he is reported to have said that ho would have te
let go his hold here. Our last advices from be

Latist European Advices. —The Loadon
correspondent of the Herald writing under
date of September 17th, lays :
All sorts of peace rumors are rife here touch -
ing American affairs, and the secesh are con
siderably depressed at the news from Atlanta
and Mobile.
Talking of peace, there is a gigantic peti
tion now receiving signatures here, to go to
the President of the L nited States, praying for
poace. It will probably have a million ofsig
uatures. Exeter Hall is interested, and of
course there is money to carry on the busi
ness. Having scattered, firebrands in Ameri
ca for years, they are now trying to allav the
whirlwind, after they have sown the wind. 1
hope they may repent in time and repair some
of the mischief they have formerly done.
Mho will show Old Abe a copy of the Ar
row. a sort of genteel, high priced Punch, just
started here ? It has.*tbe hardest hit and most
savage caricature of Abe Lincoln that he has
yet been represented in. He is represented
confronting the Goddess of Liberty, who has
an enormous bundle on her shoulders, labell
ed “debt,” “misery,” and he is out at elbows,
with his tattered striped trowsers, and a rope
around his neck. He gazes sullenly at aa axe
and a pile of rails, and the goddess tells him
in very good verse that as he failed in the
splitting of nations he can now try his old
business again, the splitting of rails. The
country on all sides is one scene of graves,
mounds, headstones, monuments and crosses
Nothing else in sight. It is a hard hit.
I learn that two cargoes of railway iron are
to be shipped during the next ten days or a
fortnight, and that the contracts are all com
pleted for giving the Southerners a complete
supply of iron. Os course it goes through

“What, softer than woman ?”whisper3 the young

consoles. Woman makes half the sorrows which
she boasts the privilege io soothe. Woman con

some ; when we are old and ugly, women snubs

From Ute Front—The Fight
!Vear Rome.
Jacksonville, Ala., Oct. 15,1864.
Editor Rrporier: On Wednesday our
cavalry had a slight engagement with the
enemy near Rome, and drove them across
the river. On the next day the enemy
came across and near Rome had another
engagement with our cavalry and drove
them bacu. We think none but Armis*
tead's brigade were engaged, and it is re
ported that they became panic-stricken
and many of them were captured, and
also three pieces of artillery that were
with the brigade.
The stragglers to the rear, as usual, in
such cases, reported the brigade all killed,
wounded and captured, and the enemy
advancing in large force.
Gen. Hood’s plans seem to be a myste

Everything appears to be going on well

here. Gen. M L. Smith, Chief Engi

1 regret my inability to give you the
desired information. The officers and
spies ot the l uited States Government
are, and have been for some time back,
remarkably sharp sighted and constantly
on the alert.
There is but one news depot here, and
its books are of, by no means, a high or
der—mostly of the Ned Buntline style ;
the papers received thcj diarge for at
about three times the cost of importing by
mail.
We have now but one mail per month
from the United States.
The Yellow Fever has been very prev
alent here this summer. I am just re
covering from an attack of it. To citi
zens of Yankee land, and other cold clis
mates, it has been very fatal. The Yan
kee Consul lost his wife here about two
weeks after they arrived. He is a sly fox
and endeavors to gain the acquaintance of
the Dixie folks here and find out what he
can in a quiet manner.
The Yankees now require passports for
parties going to the United States; and
as their passports are to define the posi
tion of the party, many who were in the
habit of going to England by steamer,
via New York, will now have to goby
sailing vessels direct, as there is no steam
communication with England, except via
Havana, which consumes a very long
time, awing to want of connection at Ha
vana and St. Thomas.
Business has been quite brisk lately.
Blockade vessels arrive and depart, and
make no secret of it. The business is
thriving. Stocks are growing light, and
quite a heavy advance in cotton goods
and prints ; also in drugs and medicines.
Prints of a suitable character for present
shipping are mostly out of the market.
I will write you occasionally and more

Col. Frank Wolforl, ot Kentucky, has
taken the stump, an s dealing hard blows
against Lincoln. a recent speech he
said :
We have had tv of more than three
years' durat’o och has all the time
been getting <• gigantic in its propor
tious. Our av ;. still grows larger. The
number of our slain still increases, the
deep, dark spirit of revenge still widens
and expands, and all the horrors of war
grow more numerous and more horrible.
There is no prospect of peace. Let me
ask whose fault is it that the war is not
closed, and the Union saved ? It is not
the fault of the officers of our army ; for
they are faithful and skillful. It is not
the fault of the soldiers ; for they are no
ble and brave. Our army has proved its
skill and valor by defeating the rebels on
numerous battle-fields, and capturing sev
eral of their armies. It has nobly done
its duty and its whole duty. The con*
quests of our army has been surprising.
We have taken possession of and now
occupy large portions of rebel territory;
we have captured Nashville, New Orleans,
Vicksburg, Knoxville, and planted the
Stars and Stripes on the walls of Atlanta;
we have driven the rebels to Petersburg
and Richmond, and will, I hope, soon
have possession of both ; but still the war
goes on with' unabated fury, and large
drafts are making to furnish men needed
for the field. The fault is not in the peo
ple ; for they have furnished men and
money to carry on the war without stint or
measure. The fault is in this : The Pres
ident and his counsellors and party, those
who rule the Congress, have not had sense
enough to see the difference between
whipping an army and conquering a peo»
pie. The rebel army has been often
whipped, but the Southern people are not
conquered; nor are they likely to be
either conquered or conciliated while the
unwise and cruel policy of Mr. Lincoln
prevails.
The Chicago Times, speaking of the
retirement of Secretary Chase, says :
He retires unmarked, except as a pol
ished hypocrite—a pretender, who has
imposed upon public credulity—the best
of a corrupt and imbecile Administration,
which, in three short years, has inflicted
upon onr flag and nation disgrace and
shame which outweighs their past glories,
and which has mortgaged the future to
procure the desolations which reigns over
the present.
