Macon, Ga., Oct. 20, 1864. j
fbe movements now being made to redeem every
position of Georgia from the occupation of tho
enemy, will be attended with success, if hor own
people will do their duty. The active and faithful
discharge of this duty by every man who owes ser
-1 vice to his country, alone is necessary to accomplish
the result. To effect this result at 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 ail 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 fiiecrs are notified that they must see
to it that every mania their respective counties or
districts, who belong to the Cons ederate army, either
of tho field or the Reserve, 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 men who can serve the country in this crit
ical juncture, shall do it, and no effort will bo spared.,
by either to effect the result. Not only to officers,
but to every good citizen is tho appeal made to i
bring into the service every man able to do duty in j
the field.
A low weeks of faithful service by every man in
Georgia able and liable to do it, would drive the
last enemy from our soil and rid tho Slate forever of
their hateful presence.
Georgiansl the destiny of your Stave - is in our
hands. Now is the time to strike the blow; and if
the enriuy is not driven from your soil it will be
your fault, notiheirs.

arv brought to a stand ia Virginia y- Burbridge
has been defeated at Saltville : Sheridan’s commu

spatches are un geographical, and Stanton’s late
summary es the situation was gotten up te influ
ence tho recent elections.
Important prom Mexico. —From the latest
papers rec< ived. we get late an important news
from Mexico It appears there has been a
battle near L)ur uge, iu which the Mexicans
had been defeated. Matamor&s had been oc
cupied by the French. The most important
feature of the news, however, is the reported
abdication ot Juarez and the assassination oi
Maximillian. This report must be taken on
j trust.
The Exchange ok Prisoners at Savannah.
lt appears from the following, taken from the
Itiohmood Whig ot the 17tb, that there will
cerlaioly be ap exchange ot prisoners at Sa
vannah. The Whig says:
We suppose we Will not have hereafter reg
ular, arrivals of a flag of truce boat at Yarina. i
as (Japiain Hatch, of the Bureau of Exchange, !
will go sometime during the week to Savan- !
nah, to superintend the exchange of ten theu- j
sand prisoners to be made at that point.
Readers will remember that Sherman, says th* j
Richmond Examiner, as he advanced towards At
lanta, came upon a cotton faotory where four hun
dred young Georgian women and girls were employ
ed, and that, deciding cotton weaving in Georgia to
becontraband of war, he tent the whole four hun
dred to the North. Louisville papers, soon after
that occurrence, announced tha t there were in that
city and Nashville one thoesand five hundred ban
ished women and children in a destitute condition.
Os course tho cotton weavers and other helpless
banished women were to be supported somehow:
but the Yankees are not the sort of people to sup- 1
port any one in idleness, except (for the present) !
runaway negroes.. So. in Louisville these women— i
the sisters, wives, daughters, of Confe lerate sol- j
diers—“were advertised to be hired as servants, to j
take the place of the large number of negroes liber- j
ated by tho military authorities, and which libera
ted negroes, says the Louisville paper, ‘ are now
gathered in large camps throughout Kentucky,
where they are fed in idleness and viciousness at
the expense ut-t.Uo loyal tax payers.” The follow
ing notice also was published by.the authorities :
Notice.— Families residing in the city or country,
wishing seamstresses or servants, can be suited by
applying at tho refugee quarters, on Broadway, be I
tween Ninth and Tenth. This is sanctioned by I
Capt. Jones, Provost Marshal.”
[From the Richmond Dispatch, 20th]
Tiie Was* News.
Tim m-st important news from the lines
below Richmond is, that, on Sunday uighl the
enemy transferred a heavy body of t roops to
the sou:b fide den pieces of cannon went
along with this column. To judge by past
experience, this move portends some offensive
operation against our right, on the south of
the town of Petersburg; or it is a feint, de
signed to induce us to weaken our iiue front
ing Fort Harrison. It has been Grant’s prac
tice only to move when about to attack He
moves and strikes without delay. But, twen
ty-four hours having already elapsed since
this last movement, and nothing having come of
it., it may be he has tired of his old strategyand
about to try something new. It is also possi
ble the movement was intended to meet some
apprehended attack from us ; for be it known,
since the recent occasion on which our troops
swooped down on Kautz and Birney, and drove
them from the Charles City road *fo Fort Har
rison, the Yankees have not had an easy mo
ment, so great is their dread of a repedition of
the movement. This, we know from Yankee
pickets, who do not hesitate to declare their
apprehensions.
The complete and formidable character of
our fortifications running from a point oppo
site Fort Harrison north to the Charles City
road, may have something to do with Grant's
withdrawing forces from their front. He as
sailed them repeatedly and desperately last
Thursday, and must feel convinced they are
impregnable. This beiug the ease, any ad
vance on Richmond on the north side of the
James must, bo by some route avoiding these
works, which route can only be found by mak
ing a circuit of twenty live miles. He must
go back to New Market, and thence
strike northeast across White- Oak
swamp to the Williamsburg road at Bottom’s
bridge. He is hardly prepared to make this
trip.
As everything concerning the Yankees and their
operations immediately in front of this cify must
be interesting to our readers, we may state that they
have at length completed to their satisfaction the
defences of Fort Harrison, and have thrown into
it a garrison of eight hundred men. A number of
guns have been mounted on tho fort in embrasures,
but they have not yet opened upon our lines. Every
morning at sunrise they are discharged, for tho pur
pose of keeping them in order and ready for use.—
Our men in the trenches, some five hundred yards
distant, watch the movements of the enemy in this
fort with great interest, especially the firing of the
morning guns.
II was reported yesterday morning that the ene
my, on" Sunday night, attempted to throw a pon
toon bridge from Cox wharf to the south side of
the James, but were driven off by shells from our
gunboats. Cox wharf is immediately this side of
Dutch gap, and it is likely the enemy would desire
very much to put a column across the river at this
point, as by so doing they would menanco the left
and rear of the Howlett House battery. We have
no fear they will succeed in ' such an undertaking
were they to attempt it. We have gunboats and
other things which are all-sufficient t 9 keep the
waters elear between Dutch Gap and Richmond.
Butler’s eannal is believed to be progressing slow
ly. He has put to work in it some prisoners recent
ly taken from us, in retaliation, he says, for our
putting negro captives upon our fortifications. We
think he will find our men neither willing nor effi
cient allies.
Knoxville Register. —The publication of this
journal has been resumed at Bristol, Tenn., and is
edited and published by Messrs. Sperry k Malone.
We give it a cordial greeting, the more so because it
comes from a point which is of great interest at the
present juncture. In the notice on its resumption
it says:
In resuming the publication of the Knoxville
Register (so often uspended and resumed in the
last eventful year) at Bristol, the exclamation, “my
loot’s upon my native heath,” may be appropriate
ly quoted, for the “oldest paper in the Si ate” Is once
more published on the soil of East Tcnoo-see, with
a prospect of soon greeting its patroiisat its ancient
locality.
We hope it may.

Address sfGeh, Beauregard.
: Through the polite attention of a friend we
i are in receipt of the following patriotic ad
' dress of Gen. Beauregard, delivered on taking
i command of this Department:
! Headq’rs Military Division of th« West, J i
October 27th, 1864. j j
j In assuming command, at this critical juuc
: ture, of the Military Division of the West, I
! appeal to my countrymen of all classes and
‘ sections, for their generous support and con
■ fidence.
i In assigning me to this reponsible position,
the President of the Confederate States has
extended to me the assurance of his earnest
j support; the Executives of your States meet
j me with similar expressions of their devotion ;
j to our cause ; the noble army in jhe field, j
composed of brave men and gallant officers,
: are no strangers to me, and I know that they !
; will do all that patriots can achieve.
The history of the past written in the blood j
* of their comrades but foreshadows the glori- |
’ ous future which lies before them. Inspired
; with these bright promises of success, I make
! this appeal to the men and women of my
1 country, to lend me the aid of their earnest
and cordial co-operation,. Unable to join in
| the bloody conflicts of the field, they can do
much to'strengthen our cause, fill up our
ranks, encourage our soldiers, inspire confi
dence, dispel gloom, and thus hasten on the
! day of'our final success and deliverance,
j The army of Sherman still defiantly holds
! the city of Atlanta, he can and must be driven
j from it. It is only for the good people of
I Georgia and surrounding Stales to speak the
| word, and the work is done.
We have abundance of provisions, and there
are men enough in the country, liable and
able for service to accomplish the result. To
all such, I earnestly appeal to report promptly
to their respective commands, and let those
who cannot go, see to it, that none remain at
home who are able to strike a blow in this
critical and decisive hour.
To those soldiers of the army, who are ab
sent from their commands without leave, I
appeal in the name of their brave comrades,
with whom they have in the past, so often
shared the privations of the camp and the
dangers of the battle-field, to return at once
to their duty. To all such as shall report to
their respective commands in response to this
appeal, within the next thirty days, an ami
nesty is hereby granted.
My appeal is to everyone, of all classes and
conditions, to come forward freely, cheerfully
and with a good heart, to the work that lies
before us.
My countrymen ! respond to this call as
you have done in days that have passed, and
with the blessing of a kind and over-ruling
Providence, the enemy shall be driven from
your soil, the security of your wiies and
daughters from the insults and the outrages
ot a brutal foe. shall be established, soon to
be followed by a permanent and honorable
peace. The claims of home and country, wife
and children, uniting with the demands of
honor and patriotism,summon us to the field:
cannot, dare not, will not fail to respond.
Full of hope and confidence, I come to join
in your struggle, sharing your privations, and
with your brave and true men, to strike the
blow that shall bring success to our arms, tri
umph to our cause, and peace to our country.

the slave-driver, in case of an incorrigiblt
slave, brands a letter upon his hand * the
French, in their days of barbarism, branded
the infamous T. F. P. upon th* shoulder of
the galley-slave ; but, to-day, the only white
men on earth who are forced to undergo what
civilization long since rejected as too scan
dalous and ignominous are the people who
call themselves Americans. Is it not utterly
shameful that men to whom has descended the
heritage of Washington and the Patriots of
the Revolution should, to-day. be not only the
abject slaves of a coarse, brainl tyrant, leut
that his minions should brand upon their
backs marks which have ever. distiDguishsd
the vilest criminals ? If the once proud sov
ereigns of this country must become impover
ished, and lose their lives in obedience to the
miscreant at Washington, can they be allowed
to seek poverty and find their graves without
bearing upon their bodie* the infamous brand
of criminals?”

TBi MASS MEETINGS—PROCESSIONS. BONFIRES,
* AC.
The political canvass is prolific of “mass
meetings.” They are held in every city, town
and village through the North. These de
monstrations are gotten up something after
the style of the Chinese gong beating. Drums,
horns and every conceivable noise ; banners,
transparencies, <fcc., enter into them. The
mottoes and representations on the transpa
rencies at these meetings are so numerous that
it would take columns to give them all; but
we append a number of the most pungent and
laughter provoking. The following were used
at a McClellan demonstration in New York,
and will give some Idea of the spirit of the
canvass:
A picture represented Lincoln splitting
rails, with the words “Abe at Home, March
sth.”
Another gave the portrait ot a young negro,
with the words “Abe, I guess vees gonef dis
time.”
We are coming, Farther Abraham,
Nine hundred thousand more;
We’ll send you up Salt River,
On the old Kentucky shore.
“Old Abe is dead, his heart is broke
Trying to make his last poor joke.”
“Abraham Lincoln, first in war and first in
the pockets of his countrymen.”
“God forgive them, they know not what
they do.”
“Lazarus in Abraham's bosom.
“No more vulgar jokes.”
No “Emancipation !” No “Subjugation !”
No “Confiscation I” No “Miscegenation!”
No “National Debt !” No “Military Neces
sity !”
No “Plunderot the Public Finance!”
A Convention of all the States—(Platform.)
We demand the Habeas Corpus!
We cherish the Constitution of our Fathers
—(Pendleton.)
“A Statesman—but no joker.”
No Demagogues ! No Tricksters! No Shod
dyites !”
“We Swop Horses in November.”
State Rights Supreme.
Free Pres3 ! Free Speech! Free Ballots !
This is a white man’s government—(Dong
las.)
“Old Abe" removed McClellan : we'll re
move “Old Abe.”
“When bad men combine, good men must
associate.”—(Pendleton.)
No military “Guard” for our President.
A free ballot, or a free fight.
Packup, “Uncle Abo !”
We swear by (Jjsorge—by George B. McClel
lan.
Fort Lafayette—(To Let.)
McClellan the terror of despots.
Having given some of the mottoes of a Me- ;
Clellan demonstration, we do the other side
the same justice by giving aome used at a
Lincoln demonstration in Philadelphia.
The most striking transparency was one re- !
presenting two pictures of President Lincoln. !
she first places the President in the attitude
ot raising a large maul: at his feet writhes a I
brokenheaded Copperhead, with the face of
Jeff. Davis. On the reverse of this transpa
rency the President is represented as splitting
rails in the Western country. He has already
gone to the wilds of the West: a log cabin is
erected, and the primeval soil is made to yield
its virtues for the benefit ot the human fami
ly. On the sides of this banner are the name3
of tho battles that ended in victory to the
Union army. This transparency was carried
by Peter Clare, a" veteran soldier.
A number of small lanterns were carried by
the advance guard, with various mottoes, the
most striking of which was the following :
“Peace Makers—Grant. Shermnn, Farra
gut.”
Then followed other large lanterns, con
taining a choice selection of mottoes, as foK
lows :
“No compromise with traitors in arms.' 1
“Engineer of the railroad to Salt River, idol
George.’’
“Peace men controlled the Chicago Conven
tion.”
“Their only hope is in a divided North.'
U. S. Grant.
On a pretty large banner, earris by a veter
an of over three years’ service, was the fol
lowing from a page of political history :
“105,293 Democrats in the Keystone State
voted against allowing the soldiers in the field
to vote. General McClelhfn is the candidate
of this party—how do you like it?''
“We hare heard of‘Old Hickory,’ but qua
ker guns and other Wood don't suit us.”
“Who moved to make the nomination of
McClellan unanimous ? Vallandigham, the
traitor.”
“No base strategy ; do you Grant our peace
maker a line to Weldon !”
A conspicuous transparency, consisted of
six likenesses from photographs, of Grant,
Sherman, Meade, Farragut, Sheridan and
l Hancock. The likenesses represented these
six great men of the nation as the Uuion.
“Peace commissioners appointed by A bra
ham Lincoln, President of the United States.”
Here followed seven four horse oranibu3ses,
\ filled with soldiers whose wounds were of
such a nature that they could not walk. The
; brave fellows added to the interest of the par
-1 ade by singing in full chorus.
APATHY OF THE PEACE MEN' IN' TIIS WEST.
The Ohio State Journal has a letter from
Alexander Long, member of Congress from
the Second Ohio district, whose bold speech
in favor of peace, it will be recollected, caused
so much excitement in the last Yankee Con
gress. Referring to political movements, he
; says :
There is no enthusiasm in the Democracy
| here, and the election is almost going by de
j fault, and I see nothing but defeat. I cannot
i see it differently. But a short time will de
! termine it now. *

and undoubtedly will make it a hornet’s nost for
him.

CAVALRY REPULSED AT riSOilt —EXCITIWKJtT
j IN KANSAS.
St. Loui*, Oct. 15, 1854.—The rear guard of
General Price left Booneville tho night before las:,
marching towards Lexington.
Our cavalry, uider General Sanborn, is said to
havo been repulsed at Pisgab, Cooper; county, on
Wednesday, but since are reported at Sedalia. on
the Pacific railroad.
Groat excitement exists in Kansas, and Jh*
militia have been called out to repel the invasion

I Judge Puginan and thirty German* were hilled
i at Lafayette, a German settlement, on the 16th
| instant, by the rebels under Pool.
St. Lout'*, Oct. Rt, IS64.—J. P. Sanderson, Co',
of the 13th regular infantry, Provost Marshal Gen
eral es the department of Missouri, died at noon
te-day.
G«n. Rosecrans reached Jefferson City to-night,
but we have ue definite news of the enemy. At
last aceouuts Price’s train was on Lamine river,
with his main force, but whether he would move
north or south was unknown.
St. Loui*, Oct. 16, 1864.—About two thousand
rebels, with two pieces of artillery, under Jell
Thompson, attacked Sedalia at two o’clock yester
day, aud drove the militia out of the place.
A few of the militia in the fort resisted the attack,
but finally surrendered, and were paroled or shot.
The citizens wero released without parole. The
rebels left during the night, and a Federal infan
try force arrived there this morning.
The rebels robbed stores of several thousand
dollars worth of clothing, boots, shoes, Ac., burned
the water station, but did no other injury to the
railroad. The rolling stock was all sent to Tipton.
Prico is reported to be moving on Lexington.—
Bill Anderson has cut tho North Missouri railroad
at High Hill. He is also reported to have visited
Florence. Andersen says his oily orders are to
“raise hell in North Missouri.”
[High Hill is North of the Missouri, seventy -two
miles Northwest efSt. Louis. Lamine river is a
little Westef Beoneville.]
(From the Richmond Sentinel.)
A Southern Poet Landed by the
Northern Press.
We give below but another evidence that net
even the chill shadows es another bastile can
quench the fires es Southern patriotism, or damp
en the ardor es Southern genius. Col. Win. S.
Hawkins, es Tonnessee, one es the finest soldiers
and most skillful scouts in the army of the West,
is yet but a young man—we believe but twenty
six. His oxeellent qualities as a soldier were early
recognized by General Joseph Wheeler ; but his
talents and his successes in some of tho highest
walks of literature and oratory had already en
deared him to every Southerner, and especially to
every Tenneseean. From his place of incarcera
tion (Camp Chase, Ohio,) we soe he still sends
forth those coruscations that stamp him as ou t
whose name is already going up, star-like, to a
proud place on the tablet of his country’s pride.
Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, whose sagaci
ty in criticism is as unerring as his course in poli
tics is slippery, gives him the highest praises,
while tho Cincinnati Enquirer, the New York
Nows, tho Metropolitan Record and tho Knicker
bocker Monthly have sought the contributions es
his polished pen.
We copy the following from the columns of tha
latter—the best of Northern magazines, and a
staunch Democratic and Conservative ogaa
(From the New York Knickerbocker.)
“TRUK TO THE LAST.”
We give the following pathetic verses to our
readers, premising that they were written upon an
incident which occurred in the last battle of one
of the author’s friends. Having a foreboding es his
fate, he pencilled on the plating of his scabbard,
the name of his lady-love; aud the words “In
the face of death my thoughts nro thine.” A
faithful comrade removed from his body and bore
to the maiden this sad token of his constancy.
Col. W. Stewart Hawkins, of Tennessee, is one of
the most chivalrous and accomplished gentlemen
of the South, and though a foeman, has won the
esteem of his opponents on the field, and his eap -
tors while iu prison, by his noble and manly spirit,
bis gallant and generous bearing. He is very
youthful, and with the enthusiasm of his years,
seems to unite in himself the literary tastes of
Sidney, the valor of Bayard, and tha endurance
of Roderick.
I
The bugles blow the battl e-eall,
And through the eamp each stalward band
To day its serried column form3,
To fight for God and native land !
Brave men are fighting by my side,
Our banners floating glad and free. ,
But yet amid tbis briliant scene
I give my thoughts to thee 1
11.
Tho horsemen dashing to and fre—
The drums with wild and thunderous roll—
The sights and sounds—sill things that tend
To kindle valor in the soul ; ■
These all are here—but in the maze
Os squadrons moved with furious glee,
Still truo to every vow we made,
I give mj thoughts to thee.
111.
The deep booms smite the troubled air,
Each throb proclaims the foeman near,
And faintly echoed from the front,
I hear my gallant comrades cheer.
Wild joy of heroes marching en
Through blood, their glorious land to free
I give to freedom here my life —
But all my thoughts to thee !
IV.
And yet, beloved, I must not think
What undreamed bliss may soon be mine;
It would unman me to the work
Os guarding well our country’s shrine.
Here on this sword I write my truth ;
These words shall yet thy solace be,
They’ll tell how in this last fierce hoar
I gave my thoughts to thee.
V. •
Along the east the holy mum
Renews life’s many care3 and joys,
This hour I hop# some wish for me
Thy pure and tender prayer employs.
Another beautious dawn of light
These eyes, alas! may never sea ;
But even dying, faint, and maimed,
I still would think of thee.
VI.
And then in coming years that roll,
When scenes efpeace and brightness throng,
Aud round each happy hour is twined
Tho wreaths of friendship, love and song,
Go to his grave whose heart was thine,
And by that spot ameuruerbe—
One tear fer him thy leved and lost,
Whose last thought clung to thee!
Terrible at a Distance. — A late Yankee paper
says:
The wrought iron Ames gun was tried at Bridge
port, Conn., last week. Three shots were fired with
the following result, as reported to the Bridgeport
Standard: The first shot, with a charge of sixteen
pounds of powder, the gun elevated at twenty-fear
aad one-fifth degrees, was sent five and three quar
ter miles. The second shet, elevated thesanm, with
a charge of twenty pounds of powder, was a tum
b’er,” and fell short about one and a half miles.
The third shot, with a charge twenty-five pounds of
powder, went a distance of seven iand a half miles
in thirty seconds. The shell weighed 10* peundx.
