DAILY TIMES. j. w. WIRREI, - - - Editor. COLUMBUS: Monday Morning, (letober 24,1864. * - ■ --7 ■'■ '1 ■' " 1 ■'-m The Progress of Insanity. TDe country has been gravely and geutea lionsly informed, that those stern and patriot e citizens who look with alarm and indigna tion upon the recent movements for peace via Reconstruction,'' are crazy. This re winds us of a joke. A gentleman visiting a Lunatic Aasylum met, in one of its inmates, an old friend and “Why ” *aul he. ‘‘how calm; you ia this place?"— ‘Well," r.-iu irked the Lunatic, “I took up a notion Mutt all the people in my section of •ountiy witm fools, and they said I was one} and thov being in the tutti—’tj, „ ut mc here / But yohiHS/' f.^ida—if it is. evidence of in fanit v to feel and expres*ft weli-founded anx iety at*,*I‘ie 1 ‘ie efforts wliich are being made to recoii'-'rn ■' 'lie Uni*> > under the puiae of ‘ l'ea' t Negoiia l tons” ami t “Odnvcntions of States" —then public indications of the spread the malady should excite serious appreheu sio.i. The disease is spreading with fearful rapidity, and hat* reached some high in hii thority. Recently ihe Governors of several sister States of the Confederacy, met in coun cil in a neighboring city. Contrary to tiic prediction: of the learned pundits, famiti .r with roads to peace and the symptoms of ma nia they first and unanimously resolved upou a "prosecution of the roar for the peace and In dependence ot the Confederate States.' As from (his indication it would seem that the disease has coinmenet?d its ravages in out own State, we may be permitted to express the hope tln,t all our people, anu more espec ially the vviole of this community, may fall victims to iw touch. Still more recently oue ot die largest meetings ever held in the city of Columbia, assembled to take into considera tion the case ot Mr. Boyce, the apostle of the Reconstruction movement. It was composed of the most respectable, intelligent aud worthy tii uteri- ot that gallant ecctiou. With that courtesy and fairness which auiuiates brave and honorable /md gave him a fair and impartial hearing in his defence. He said that he had always been opposed to secession, that the mere fact of the North driving us from fair participation with our peculiar institution in the territories ex clusively won by Southern blood and valor, was a matter of little consequence to him ; reiterated the sentiments of Ins letter; said something silly about taking a box oi'gold with him te buy the North Western States to go for Reace in a National Convention, &c., Ac.— The poor, deluded maniacs who listened to him, were not convinced by his argumeuts or appeals, aud immediately resolved that he was by reason of hi» views aud their public ex pression, unworthy to represent theoufurther in ibe Councils of the Nation. What anguish and sorrow must this action have carried to übc bosoms of the happy families of Columbia. To know and nee that their fathers, sons, hus bands and brothers had, from sane, accom plished uud cultivated m?u, suddenly become confirmed aud incurable maniacs. Perhaps the splendid assylum for these unfortunates which is an honor and ornament lo that city, is now already overflowing, and without the aid of some of ms coadjutors on this side the line, Air. Boyce will not he able to minister to the necessities of the miserable sufferers. While on ibe subject, we may say that ail indications establish the fact that the South ern mind is fast reachit g the only safe and practicable ground on whioh to stand in rela tion to Peace negotiations. Generals Lee and Hood are the great negotiators—and under their leadership, march a stalwart band of I’.icilivatbrs The South cannot take counsel 0! her fears. In the brave hearts aud strong arms of her sons, lie her honor, her safety and her peace. In the language of the gifted aud lamented McDuffie—a cry of Peace from the North, is but the “Bugle blast of the Robber band.” A wail for Peace front the South, makes one “Scent Treason on the tainted gafe.’ 7:30 Notes.— For the information of our | readers, we will state that the Confederate | Congress exempts from taxation the funds of Guardians and Administrators, when invested ♦ in the above notes. As they are now not ; worth more than 70 cents, we think no better means of investment could be offered. All other species of Bonds aud Stocks are subject , lo a tax greater than the amount of the divi- , tlends they pay. The office of Chief Commissary for the State et Georgia, will be located at Columbus, Geor gia, after the 24 inst.

Many communications accept able enough are necessarily deferred or rejected from necessities of space. m • » The bitterness of feeling already stirred up among the Yankees by their Presidential canvass, ‘may be inferred from the remark of the New York Timeß, that it had “rather see Sen.

McClellan enter it as Pres* identand the reply of the Journal, that “the Republican leaders are traitors, not less wicked and even more pitiless than the leaders es the armed rebellion.” K.afe»t Jfoin Mood** Army. Th« Montgomery Advertiser of ihc 22d instant any* : AVe had a call yesterday front Mr. Warren Adams, the Trans Mississippi courier, who left Hood • army at 1 ©’clock Tuesday afternoon, near Biuo Pond, Cherokee county, in this State, and within thirty-Bix miles of the Tennessee river. The army was on the advance, and probably ha this time is over the river. The troops were in the highest spirits, and eager for the work before them. The ranks had been considerably recruited by the return of stragglers, deserters, and others. Lp to that time the movement had been com pletely successful. Delightful weather had pra * the army was well provided except in the article of shoes. Beauregard was on his re turn to the army with large reinforcements. Gen. Hood was very popular with the troops. Sboman was evidently out-generaled this time. Mr. Adams confirmed the statements of our correspondent “Dunleith” as to the capture of Til ton and Dalton, and the fight at Rome. He passed five hundred white prisoners who were en route for Selma. A: Acworth, the garrison had had but two rations for six days before its capture: and the garrison at Dalton on’y four rations in six days. The Yanks, after the light near Rome, re moved the s iocs from oar horses tbar were killed, being eviden 1v short of shoes and iron for that purpose. Latest (iom tlie United Mates, Wo are agaii indebted to the Exchange Bureau. «.<yt the Richmond Examiner, for late Northern papers. # From the National Intelligencer of the 13i’u wo male some extracts. THE ELECTIONS. It teems there us considerable doubt as to the result of the late elections in Pennsylvania, Indi ana and Ohio. It was at first reported by the Now York papers time all these .States had gone for the Republicans by overwhelming majorities. Tne Intelligencer of tbe 1 Rtb suvs : The iatest report from Pennsylvania is that the Democrats have carried the S. ate bj‘ a majority of about 10,000 votes-. This does not include the soldiers’ vote, which is claimed to be largely in favor ot the Administration. The Republican majority last, year was upwards of 15,000. The Democrats are reported to have lost several mem bers of Congress. The Republican majority in the city and county of Philadelphia is about Ohio, as was expected, has gone for the Repub licans Tire majority, however, is largely reduced liom last year. The Republicans now estimate it at 50,000 ; last year it was 100,000. In this State also the Democrats lose several members of Con gress. , Indiana, according to tbe telegraphic reports, bus also gone lor tbe Republicans, aud there also, it is said, the Democrats have lost two or three members of Congress. The reports from this State are very meagre. The election which commenced yesterday in Maryland Will be continued to-day in all parts of tbe State except the city of Baltimore, where the polls closed last evaaiug. In that city, we take it for grautod that a large majority was given for the new Constitution, but we had no report of the vote at the time of going to press. The majority given yesterday against the new Constitution in Prince George’s county is 1,200 votes. At Upper Marlboro’, out. of 155 votes cast, only three were in favor of it. THE FREMONT MOVEMENT. It has been popularly supposed that, the radical movement which culminatad in the Cleveland Con vention, and in the nomination of G< >. Fremont, was a pretty decided failure: but the New York organ of that movement, -the New Nation, con tends that the ‘'Radical Democracy,” before merg ing with the supportors of Mr. Liucoln, had al~ roady accomplished three most useful things. It says:' “Wo continued the struggle, and by tho pressure exercised, and the energetic opposition of the party, we have obtained three things which are not without importance. First—The Baltimore Platform. Second —Blair’s dismissal from the Cabinet ; that is to say, tho exit of the element most hostile to our ideas. Third —Wejiave defini tively and irrecoverably forced Lincoln to pledge himself to*Abolitionism. Have we lost our time? Have we expended our efforts its vain?” OEATII < F CHIEF JUSTICE TANEY. The Intelligencer, in announcing the death bf the venerable Chief Justice Taney, says : Wo regret to announce that the vtuerable Chief Justice Taney is no more. This announcement wilt carry sorrow to the hearts of the people among all who hold him in reverence for the high qualities he brought to the discharge of his duties at the head of the supreme judicial tribunal of the country* Full of years and full of honors, ho has passed away from the scenes which he illustrated by his learning and virtue, leaving behind him a reputation as much distinguished by the superior dignity of his char acter as by tho extraordinary vigor of intellect which sustained and graced the closing years of his long, laborious, and career. He died last night at ton minutes before ten o’clock. Addison Brown, of Georgetown has been sen tenced to five years’ imprisonment at Fort Dela ware for giving aid and information to tho enemy during the invasion of Maryland in July last. Nashville, Oct. 12. —C01. Hoage, of Wash burne’s command, with 1,300 infantry and a battery of four guns, on board of three trans ports, convoyed by two gunboats, at three o’clock P. M., on the 19th inst , met the en emy under Geu. Forrest, commanding in per son, at East Point, with two batteries, and wa3 repulsed, with a loss of 20 killed and 26 wounded and missing. All the guns of the battery were lost, and | two of the transports disabled. Two caissons were burned by the explosion of Forrest's shells. Forrest is supposed to have crossed the river. ' There is eight feet of water on the Bhoals, ; and the river is falling. FROM LOUISVILLE.

San Francisco. October 11.—Edward Stan ley, late military governor of North Carolina, publishes a letter favoring McClellan and op posing the emancipation policy of Lincoln’s Administration. He expresses great kindn#ss personally lor the Administration. Fortress Monroe, October 12.—Admiral Porter took command of the North Atlantic Squadron t hig morning, and hoisted his flag iia Hampton Hoads The occasion was hon« ! ored by a salute from the United States stea mer Brooklyn. The Cbarteston. Courier remarks that it is ; the duty of every good and loyal citizen to j give information, without delay, to any enroll ing officer, of ell skulkers and hiders from military dutv. There are many such delin quents at large ; and it is due to our gallant soldiers in tnt* army —it is due to all who have sons, brothers or other kinsmen in the army— it is due to the cause of the country—that steps should at v>nce be taken to place those in the rank* who are meanly and cowardly skulking from the performance of their duty, and thus imposing additional ourdens on our gallant, sol lier.- in the field. The recent failure at Havre is stated to amount to £400,000 and not £40,000 as has been named. Several bouses in this country are sufferers by it. TELEGRAPHIC. REPORTS OF THE PRESS ASSOCIATION.

Seventy-three counties in Ohio give an Abolition majority of 2,700. A Philadelphia dispatch of the 17th claims tho S'ate for the Republicans by 3,000. Richmond, Oct. 22.—The Baltimore American of the 29th, received by the Whig, contains Stan ton’s official bulletin to Dix, which says another great battle was fought yesterday at Cedar Creek, threatening at first great disaster, but finally re suited in victory for the Union forces under Sheri dan. Forty-three guns and many prisoners were captured. Sheridan's official report admits his army was driven in confusion four miles. He hastened from Winchester, on his return from Washington, and forming anew line of battle, repulsed the attack of the enemy. After some cavalry charges, ho attacked and routed the enemy, when darkness ensued, preventing greater results. A telegram from Chattanooga, 19th', says Sher man started yesterday in pursuit of tbe rebel?, who were retreatiug southward via Blooinerton Valley. The same telegram claims that Roddy’s cavalry was routed at Romo, on tho 12th, by Minty’s brig ade of cavalry.

Eight raiders were subsequently caught and $50,000 recovered. The result of tho vote on the “new constitution” in Maryland is yet doubtful. Dispatches from Halifax confirm the report of the capture of the Roanoke by a Confederate cruiser. She was taken to Bermuda, whore her passengers were landed. She was subsequently burned off Bermuda. Her crew lauded in boats, and wore arrested by British authorities. Forrest is making a raid through the western portion of Kentucky.

Yankee loss in killed and wounded 200 : ours very slight. The yellow fevor is still prevailing at Galves ton. A correspondence between our forces and the enemy on Brazos Island reveals the fact that Cor tinas is a brigadier general in the Yankee servic#, and Escharoto is a colonel. Richmond, Oct. 22. —This morning the Yankee battery lately erected near Bould’s Warehouse, about two miles below Chaffin’s Bluff, opened on a portion of our fleet.

All licenses for trade stores are revoked; no one is permitted in future to continue or open a store for the sale of any -article without a permit from thie special aggnt, under penalty of arrest and confiscation of his property to the Treasury Department; neither can any one purchase nor ship any of the products of the country without permission from this agent.

Knoxville Items.— Brownlow's Whig, of the 31st of August, announces that eight com panies of militia have been organized to fall upon the thieves and robbers of the rebel per suasion, with the following tory gentlemen as Captains: John Baxter, W. G. Brownlow, John Netherland, E. C. Trigg, Perry Dicken son, A. A. Kyle, Johu M. Fleming, Mont gomery. In addition to these eight compa nies, O. P. Tem'ple is raising the ninth. These valiant Captains will doubtless soon have an opportunity of meeting the thieves and rob bers whom they have been organized to resist, and we may expect to see the fur fly : for By ron has poetically assertsd that When Greek meets Greek, Then comes the tug of war. Captain John Baxter and Captain John M. Fleming, of Knoxville, both took the oath of allegiance to the Southern Confederacy. They are now officers of a military organization, in arms against the Confederacy. They are both lawyers, and men of some literary at tainment. Can they define the value of an oath, mentally or legally ?—Knoxville ( Bristol ) Register. A letter from Senatobia says the enemy are still fortifying Memphis with earthworks and block houses, with the intention, it is thought, of leaving a small garrison to hold the city, while tho main foroo is sent on a raiding expe dition, as the larger portion of the garrison has been sent to White’s station on the Memphis & Charleston railroad. We do not concur in the opinion above advanced. There are but few troops in any of the river towns now. Rosecraas has drawn every spare man to the defence of St. Louis, and the small garrisons left behind will soon be called upon to concentrate for the de fence of points now thought secure from rebel raids. — Meridian Clarion.

SPECIAL NOTICES HEADQ’RS CONSCRIPT SERVICE FOR Georgia, Augusta, Oct. 17th, 1861. CiRCLAR No. 18. To County Enrolling Officers; Pursuant to orders from the Major General Com manding the Reserves and District of Georgia, you and all others engaged in the conscript service are commanded to apply yourselves with renewed en ergy and diligence to the important duties with which you are charged. The fact is established that in every county of the State there are numbers of men between-the ages of 17 and 50 who have never been enrolled and hitherto evaded the service whioh they owe their country, which the law obliges them to render, and which the voice of patriotism, the importance of the crisis, and the call of their gal lant brethren in arms have failed to induce them to perform. It is your duty to sec that these men be no longer allowed to enjoy this inglorious ease, and to save them from the shame and degradation which await them when our independence is won. ;n the esteeu of those brave men and noble women to whose valor and devotion, under Providence, these priceless boons will be due. The ranks of our armies must be filled. The bat tle scarred veterans, who, for four years have stem- med tho tide of invasion and held at bay the savage and powerful foe which still pollutes our soil, must j be strengthened and animated by the presence of i fresh men by their side. The glorious battle flags which bear upon their ta tered folds the names of so many victories which have rendered our country famous throughout the world, must be upheld and supported by the many stout arms whose strength has not yet been put forth in the defence of their homes, their fortune and their honor. It is also a fact known to all that there are thous ands of deserters and absentees from the army scat tered throughout the State, wlio, were they now' present beside their faithful comrades, could drive the enemy beyond our borders, and before the win ter frests sot in, conquer our independence and a cessation of war. •It is your duty to have these misguided men ar rested and returned to their commands. They have committed the most infamous crime of which a sol dier can be guilty, and deserve the terrible punish ment which the laws of their country and the usa ges of war have awarded to their offences. Their , only hope of clemencey at the hands of the Execu- j tive depends on their piornpt abandonment of their present life of lawlessness and peril and their return to the ranks in winch they swore to serve during the war. Let constant efforts be directed to the ar reset of these men. Let every hole aud corner; let every swamp and forest in your respective counties in which these wretched men’now find a preca rious shelter, be searched and penetrated by your selves and your assistants, until every deserter has been arrested, and your vigilance and energy have proved that escape from capture is no longer possi ble. If you need aid in the performance of this duty, call upon the sheriff and other civil officers of the county, and, under the repeated orders of the Governor of the State, they are oblieed to assist, you. The officers commanding local companies, re cently organized in the different counties by order of the Major General Commanding the Reserves, are also bound to aid you, and the great body of the inhabitants, aware that the safety of their relatives and friends now in the field and of their families at home; the possession of their property, their lives, their liberty, depend on the success of our arms and our ability to hold our ground against the vandal hosts by which we are beset, will assuredly not fail to second your efforts to send into the ranks every man who properly belongs to them, whether ho be one who owes military service and has failed to dis charge his debt, or he be one who has b /sely desert ed the flag of his country in the face of the enemy when she most needs the best services of aU her sons. The duties entrusted to you are onerous, but they are eminently honorable when faithfully perform ed. Most of you have served with honor and fideli ty in our army, and the wounds of many attest their valor on the field. Let the same spirit that animated you in confronting . the foe, inspire you nowin the performance of your present duty, and let the consciousness that upon you, to a larve ex tent, depends the speedy and successful termination of the war, impel you to put forth all your energy and thus earn the highest reward a soldier can ob tain —the gratitude of his country. Hereafter County Enrolling Officers wih report directly to these Headquarters, and not ns hereto fore to the District Enrolling Officers, whose offices have been abolished by order of the War Depart ment.

J The movements now being made to redeem everr position of Georgia from the occupation of tbe enemy, will be attended with success, if her own people will do their duty. The active and faithful discharge of this duty by every man who owes ser vice to his country, alone is necessary to accomplish the result. To effect this result a4 once, is the ob ject of this circular. All offictrs belonging to this command, especially enrolling officers, are instructed to use renewed efforts in enforcing all Orders lor the return of ab sentees to their commands, as well as sanding for ward those who have so far failed or refused to re port. These < ffieers are notified that they must see to it that every man in their respective counties or districts, who belong to the Confederate army, either of tbe field or the Reservo, is made to report at once to their proper commands; and in case of the men belonging to the Militia, they will report to these Headquarters the names of all such found at home without proper authority. It is the fixed purpose of both Confederate and State authorities that the meirwho can serve the country in this crit ical juncture, shall do it, aud no effort will bespared by either to eL *t iui, result. Not only to officers, but to every good citizen is the appeal made to bring into the service every man able to do duty iu the field. A few weeks of faithful service by every mania Georgia able and liable to do it, would drive the last enemy from our soil and rid the State forever of their hateful presenoe. Georgians! the destiny of your State is in our hands. Now is the time to strike the blow; and if tbe enemy is not driven from your soil it will be your fault, not theirs.
