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.

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.

[From the Selma Mississippian, 27tb.] 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.

G, Branding thk Yankee Troops. —The ‘•sug gestion,” officially made by the chief medical officer of the volunteer service, provost-mar shal’s bureau, that all accepted recruits should be marked with the letter I in the small of the back, has created a good deal of indigna tion among some of the Yankee papers. The Chicago Timss, commenting on it, says : “The farmer brands bis cipher upon bis hog: 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?” Addison Brown, of Georgetown has been sen tenced to five years' imprisonment at Fort Dela • ware for giving aid and information to the enemy daring the invasion of Maryland in Jaly last. $5.00 Per Hoatb A Tote of Wounded Soldier*. A wounded soldier, listening to a political discussion in Detroit a few days ago, respond ed to the remark ‘‘the soldiers wonld all go j for Lincoln,” with the assertion that a few j days before a vote was taken among 700 wounded soldiers who were coming up from | Jackson, Mississippi, and there was not a sin -1 gle vote for Lincoln. 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. * (From the New York Tribune 17th.) Northern Despatches. FROM CHATTANOOGA THE E.VEMV REPORTED IN FORCE AT DALTON. Chattanooya, Oct. 15, 1864.—Major General Schofield arrived here to-day, and assumed the general direction of affairs here. The enemy are reported in force at Dalton. Col. Johnson, of the 44th Colored, was making a determined defense at Chattanooga, [Dalton?] which is strongly fortified and supplied with troops, to make a protracted and successful de fense. General Sherman is close on Hood’s rear, and undoubtedly will make it a hornet’s nost for him. The roports of our scouts fail to show the pres ence of any considerable body of the enemy north of Tunnel Hill.

PRICB— OMR 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 of the rebels. 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.
