Price s4# per MW- Possession given 'rSHHF' R TKIUrLBN, Columbus, Ga., Thursday Horning, October 27,1864. Wednesday Evening. From (the Trans-Mississippi. . Mr. Wagner, Government Messenger, has just arrived from Shreve port,with the most important dispatches ever brought from the Trans Missis- ' sippi. ; Although we can give no particulars of what is passing on the Western bank of the Mississippi, j still we are at liberty to assert that the news is of . the most encouraging and important nature. We are pleased to learn that the movements in the Trans-Mississippi are carried on with strict secrecy, the dispatches all being in cipher, and the “powers that be” as silent as the current of the mighty stream that divides that devoted per- i tion ‘of the Confederacy from their Eastern brethren. Gen. Price is in Missouri with a very strong force, receiving daily acquisitions of the best tight* i ing men- in the world. Shelby is near the Arkansas lino, capturing ( forts and destroying Steele’s reinforcements and supplies. Magruder is in Arkansas, operating in the most j vigorous mannw, and swears, with his usual ve- ! hcimnce, (and he is one of those barking dogs that bite,) that Steele and he cannot live long in , the same State. ' It is a pity that this memorable movement could not have been begun sooner , but that is i owing to the difficulty of transportation, etc., j and we cannot complain. Let no one be surprised if the Trans-Mississip- | pi under the splendid generalship of Kirby Smith, , should yet act the most signal part in the libera- ! tion of our glorious country. —Mobile Register. From the Valley. Official dispatches, received yesterday, state that Gen. Early attacked Sheridan’s camp, on Cedar creek, before day on the 19th, and surprised and routed the Bth and 19th corps, and drove the 6th corps beyond Middleton, capturing 18 pieces of ar tillery and 1,300 prisoners, which were safely brought off; but the enemy subsequently made a stand, and in turn attacked Gen. Early, causing his line to give way. On the retreat the enemy captured 30 pieces of artillery. Our net loss was 23 pieces of artillery j and some wagons and ambulances. Our loss in kill- ; ed and wounded was less than 1,000. Our loss in i prisoners is thought to be small. The enemy’s infantry is reported to be very much ! demoralized. He did not pursue. His loss was very i severe. Gen. Ramseur was severely wounded while ! acting with gallantry, and was captured by the S enemy. Passengers by last evening’s Central train report I that the prisoners (thirteen hundred) were to arrive i in Staunton last night. It is said that the loss of artillery occurred from the guns getting crowded together in the streets of Strasburg, and before they could be extricated the enemy’s cavalry came up and captured them. It is reported, however, that Early subsequently re covered some of the lost artillery, returning and bringing it off in the night. Be that as-it may, with the exception of the loss of the artillery, we are the victors. The flower of the Federal cavalry being in Sheridan’s command, he is able to overcome our cavalry and use his horse men for flanking purposes. This is said to be the , cause of our disaster. liarly’s forces are now in good ; condition, and are not unprepared to meet any at -1 tack which Sheridan may make. {.Richmond Dispatch, 22 d. j Lal«st from tiie United States. We take the following from New York pa pers of Wednesday, the 19th inst.: LATEST FROM GEORGIA —HOOD REPRESENTED AS RETREATING BEFORE SHERMAN THE SITUA TION. * The Yankees are again in communication with Sherman, ami claim that General Hood is retreating before him. The foliowing offi cial dispatches are published: Ship Gap. Get. lb—s p. in. We took Ship gap to-day, capturing a part of the 24th Norm Carolina. Two corps are represented to be at Lafayette, and one went south from VilUtnova plain. They obstructed Snake Creek pass to delay our trains ; but by to-morrow I can move in any direction. W. T. SHERMAN, Major-General. Deserters from Hood’s army report his force at thirty thousand. The strength of Ins cav , airy is not known. There is no additional news from the Tea nessee river, except that Roddy's force moved from Tuscurnbia yesterday. G. H. THOMAvSj Major-General. Chattanooga, Oct. 17—10 p. m. The rear of Hood's army left Lafayette, go- I mg south, at daylight this morning. J. M. SCHOFIELD, Major-General. The country south and southwest of Lafay ette is exceedingly difficult for an inferior army vigorously pursued, consisting of narrow valleys parallel to the ranges of Taylor’s ridge and Lookout Mountain, broken by rough hills, and destitute of food for men or beast until you reach the Coosa river, a distance equal to three days' forced marches. Another official dispatch, dated at Chatta nooga on the 17th. is as follows : I left General Sherman at Ship Gap, in Taylor’s ridge, at dark last night. The gen eral and army are all right and in the best of 1 spirits. General Slocum is all right at Atlanta, with plenty of provisions and forage. Hood's raid has produced no military result as yet. If he wants to invade Tennessee. a3 he has promised his men, he will lose by desertion twice as many as he has captured. The losses in men thus far have been in our favor. Hood's army has destroyed the railroad for twenty-three miles between Tunnel Hill and Resaca. also between Big Shanty and Alla toona. The rebel commander demanded the sur \ vender of Resaca. threatening the garrison with death if his demand was not complied with. Colonel Weaver, of the Eighth Ohio, ! commanding the post, refused to surrender. After some brisk skirmishing the rebel force withdrew. The enemy advance,! upon Dalton, which was surrendered without a shot by Col. John son, of the 44th United States colored infantry, who could have easily held the town if so dis posed. Tunnel Hill was unmolested. The cars and building at that station were' destroyed-. ; From that point Hood went southward on | the road, and was confronted by the 4th corps, under General Stanley, at Snake Creek Gap. Severe fighting ensued. The result is not ob tainable. A telegram from Chattanooga, dated the 18th. says it was reported that General Hood was falling back on Blue Mountain. It adds: Wheeler’s cavalry are hanging about Rome. ■ Forrest wa3 threatening to cross near Bridge port and bold the gaps on Pigeon mountain for the purpose of aiding Hood iu moving his army to Bridgeport. He ii now covering Hood’s retreat. Sherman is skirmishing with H id's rear. ! The results ot Hood s movement; are favor ! able to our army- It is thought be will not give battle unless too hard pressed by Sher man. Hood s wagons and a brigade, as guard, are at Calladea. He may possibly give battle ; at this point; if not, ae will have do fail back 1 on Galena. Ala., where communications are [ open. Slocum seat out a foraging party of 1590 wagons towards Rough aud Ready and Deca tur, and all returned laden with corn. The , army has plenty of supplies both in Atlanta and iu the field. It is thought Hood has all *of his army w ! ‘L him, and it is supposed to be aboiu -s,§&■* men. Prisoners and scouts state that thej are living on parched corn and some dried fruit collected through the country, j The New York Herald, commenting on Gen. Hood's movements, *ay3 * Our latest advices report him encamped near Lafayette, with Sherman at Ship’s gap of ; Taylor’s ridge, twelve miles southeast of La* fayette. It Hood permits Sherman to pass through Ship gap and get into the narrow valley of the Chiekaroauga, it will be too small , to hold both peacefully. Hood cannot well go | further west, as the Lookout Mountain range, j at whose feet he now lies, cannot be crossed by a large army without special preparation. Many days would be consumed in crossing it with so large an army as Hood boasts of hav ing. Should he advance further north in the valley, he will be inevitably hemmed in and forced to surrender. Hood will, in all prob ability, hold control, as he can do, of Ship gap until his troops aro well south of La fayette, in the valley, and then allow Sherman to cross the mountain. He will have an easy route south by way of Somerville : but in tas king such a route, he abandons all attempts to cut Sherman's communications. from siierioan’s department—sheridan re sumed COMMAND. General Sheridan arrived in Martinsburg .] on Tuesday evening on his return from Wash ington to his command. A letter from there, dated the 18th, says: Powell’s division of cavalry has been on a raid in Luray Valley, aud has succeeded in laying that valley in waste in the same de gree with the Shenandoah. Everything of value to the rebel cause has been destroyed. While Gen Sheridan has beea absent on his flying circuit about his cemmand, we have been entertained here by rebel stories of the defeat of our armies in the Valley. Os course these reports were entirely without founda tion. Gen. Sheridan never leaves his com mand for two days where it is in danger of an attack. He is always present where it fights, and, what is more, as the great Napoleon always thought, he is always successful. A gentleman who left Sheridan’s army yes terday reports that the rebels re-occupy Fish er’s Hill, on the left of the position heretofore carried by General Crook, and are erecting fortifications there. Our troops are in the neighborhood of Strasburg. WRITING OF A ‘‘PEACE” CONVENTION. The ‘‘Peace Convention” met in Chicago on the 18th inst. Alexander Long, of Ohio, was one of tbe prominent men present. Candi dates for President and Vice-President of the United States are to be nominated. A tele gram says : It is understood that the nomination will be made conditional. If either of the PresG dential candidates, Lincoln or McClellan, sub scribes to the platform, these nominations will be withdrawn and peace men 'will support him. The delegates are very bitter on Mc- Clellan They complain that they were un handsomely treated at Chicago, and very : scurvily by McClellan. No delegates is ad mitted to the Convention who doe3 not sign a pledge that he will not support McClellan.— They think his dandling policy, like his shilly | shally in military policy, will only serve to prolong the war ; and, between the two, pre fer the sharp and vigorous policy of the Ad-- ministration as likely soonest to bring peace. VallanJigham peace men are not admitted.— They are considered time-servers of the mean est Sort of political worms, who wriggle into any shape for selfish purposes. . The platform will be fixed to-morrow and j nominations made on the day after. Long is talked of as candidate for President and Sin gleton as Vice-President. McClellan men affect to despise this move ment ;but is is likely to make no inconsidera i ble diversion unless McClellan comes down from his war stilts. The chief object of the : Convention is to bring such a pressure ou him i as will bring him up roundly to the support of the support of the Chicago resolutions. GENERAL PRICE’S MOVEMENTS IN MISSOURI. A telegram, dated St. Louis the 18th, gives j the following as the latest news from General i Price’s movements in Missouri : Price's headquarters are reported to be at Lexington. General Curtis drove the rebels out of Independence on Sunday, and his ad» j vance. at last accounts, was fifteen miles thi3 side. I _! A RAID INTO KENTUCKY. The New Albauy (Indiana) Ledger of this evening publi3hes’a report, which it deems reli able, that from one thousand to one thousand , two hundred guerrillas, under Hinds, who | made a raid into Indiana, near Leavenworth, last year, have concentrated near Bradenburg, Kentucky, and a portion of them had entered ’ the town and robbed the citizens of a large i amount of valuable property. ** i THE FREE STATE CONSTITUTION FOR MARYLAND. The Abolition Convention wa9 already on hand to get up anew free State government 1 for Maryland. Directly it.was announced that the emancipation constitution had been car i ried, this convention met and nominated Thos. Swan, of Baltimore, for Governor, and Dr. C. C. Cox, of Talbot county, for Lieutenant Gov ernor. A letter from Baltimore sav3 : Mr. Swan’s past career in the State and city is well known as president for a long while of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad when , it WH3 being pushed through to the Ohio river, : and subsequently as Mayor of Baltimore in Know-Nothing times. Though at first hold ing back on the emancipation subject, and committing himself to a gradual system, he finally went over to the radicals under the pressure and exigency of immediate action, and secures a nomination which is equivalent' to an election. Dr. Cox is medical director here, and resides in Talbot county. Hon. Al exander Randall, of Annapolis, was nomina ted for Attorney-General of the State, Robert J. Jump, of Caroline, for Comptroller, and Hon. Daniel Weisel for Judge of the Court of Appeals. The latter beiug an addition judge ship, increases tbe court to five judges. It is stated in Washington that Governor Brad ford had decided to throw out the soldiers’ vote upon the new constitution of Maryland, as, ac cording to the existing State law, soldiers were not authorized to vote. This will knock the con vention’s work in the head, if true, as without the soldiers’ vote the constitution is la a minority. AROUND RICHMOND —DEATH OF SHXERAL BIR.XjSr. Comparative quiet, according to the Herald, reigns in the Yankee army in froa: of Richmond , and Petersburg. On'Sunday, Secretary of War Stanton and Secretary of the Treasury Fessendon, accompanied by a very distinguished party, visit- ‘ ed General Grant’s headquarters. A call was mode upon Genera! Butler, an lit was the inten tion of the gentlemen present to visit the front at Petersburg on Monday. The rebels are showing a a disposition to press the right of our line lying south of the Appomattox, but have made no direct at tack. The rebels still keep up their artillery fire on their friends at Dutch Gap canal. The weather continues'cool and pleasant. Major-General D. B. Birney, who left his com mand in front of Richmond, a few days since, on 1 account of an attack of malarial fever, died at Philadelphia ou Tuesday evening. MISCELLANEOUS. The superintendent of the Chesapeake ana Ohio canal, in a letter dated at Point es Rocks, Mary land, says Mosby made a raid oa the boats on ; Saturday, capturing and burning four or five and $5.00 Per Month carrying away many mules and horses and some , prisoners. Many boats are there, but will not j move until something be done by the military au thorities for their protection. Gold opened in New York on Tuesday at 215, ! and under reports that the Government was selling, ’ fell to 205jb Frem this point it rallied to 211, j and closed at 295|. It was reported at Memphis on Sunday evening j that General Forrest, at the head of a strong body of cavalry, was but a short distance froi%that city. Much axcitement prevailed in consequence. Charles 11. Porter, of Virginia, State Attorney at Norfolk, has been sentenced to six months’ confinement for the use of treasonable language. The captain of a schooner which arrived at Ha vanna on the 11th instant from Nassau, New Providence, reports that he was spoken off Salt Key bank by the privateer Florida, which was steering towards Havana. The Deinoorats of Massachusetts have nomina ted for Congress Judge Abbott for the Fourth Congressional Distriot. Northern Items'. General Augur, on Monday, commenced the enforcement of his regulations to prevent firing by the guerrillas ou trains running ou the Manassas Gap road by placing in conspic uous positions on the cars prominent citi zens of the Northeastern Virginia counties known to sympathize witfc the rebellion. But little doubt is now entertained that the steamship Roanoke, which left Havana for New York on the 29th ultimo, was captured by a party of twenty-five Confederates on her passage. The notorious Lieutenant Beane, alias Johnston, who captured the Chesapeake, is said to be one of the men engaged in the cap tureofthe Roanoke. General Rosecrans has issued an order ask ing the united assistance of men of all parties to aid him in excluding from th(*polls all who, by reason of alienage, treason and guerrilla ism, have no right to vote. The Confederates have resumed their dep redations on the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, and have almost entirely checked navigation. Four boats were destroyed between Edward’s ferry and the Monocacy last week. The English blockade-running steamer Bat was captured on the 10th off Wilmington and sent to Boston. She received one shot, which killed one of her crew. It was her first trip. * "H. H. Dodd, the leader of the “Sons of Lib erty” in Indiana, has been recaptured. The soldiers’ vote (Dutch, Irish and Yan kees) has decided in favor of the Free State Constitution for Maryland. The majority was about five hundred. The candidates for the seat in the United States Supreme Court once filled by Judge Taney, are Salmon P. Chase, of Ohio ; Edwin M. Stanton, of Pennsylvania; William M. Evarts, of New York, and Reverdy Johnson, of Maryland— Lincoln, it is said, being pretty equally balanced between the two last-named gentlemen. m —— Later from Europe. —The latest arrival brings European news to the 9th instant. The financial crisis still pressed heavily on the trading interests of England. Many new fail ures are reported. A Liverpool merchant was bankrupted by his dealings in the rebel cotton loan. The Bank of England maintained the rate of discount at nine per cent., and was likely to advance it. The London Times again expresses the opinion that Mr. Lincoln’s chance of re-election to the presidency is greatly improved by the successes es the Union generals. Anew French Minister has been appointed to Washington in place of M. Mercier. It was said in Faris that M. Mercier will go to Madrid as sue • cessor to M. Adolphe Barret. The Slidell-Erlanger wedding party set out from Paris for London, where the newly-mar ried pair will spend the honeymoon. A series of most brilliant Seuthern American fetes were to be given by M. Erlanger, in the English cap ital. The International Congress for the Promotion of Social Science had been in session at Am sterdam. An address was signed by one hun dred and sixty members of the Congress to President Lincoln, congratulating him upon the success of the emancipation policy, and expressing a wish for the preservation of the Union. The text of the convention recently concluded by the French and Italian Governments has beea published along with a subsequent protocol.— This protocol provides that the period of six months, within which the Italian capital is to be transferred from Turin to Florence, and also the term of two years, within which the French troops are to be withdrawn from Rome, are to be reckoned frona the date of the royal assent to the bill which King Victor Emanuel’s ministers will submit to the Italian Parliament. , In the Peace Conference of Vienna) en October 5, the Danish Representatives made some concos i sions of the German demands, but persisted in re jecting the claim of the Schleswig-Holstein to a portion of the indemnity for the • Sound dues.— They made “a fresh proposition for the settlement of the question,” but it does not seem that any progress was made in the negotiations. The Prince and Princess of Wales, who have been entertained with much distinction at the Swedish court, left Stockholm ou October 4, and arrived at Elsinore on the following day. Captain Ericsson has been testing anew thir teen-inch gun, which has proved eminently suc cessful, and which, it is supposed, will exort a great change in naval ship-building. Our Prisoners at the North.— Prisoners re cently returned under flag of truce from the North • 1 ern prisons, furnish us with some gratifying statements concerning the sentiments of the mass ,of prisoners held there. The recreant and weak kneed, of whom there are always to be found a i few in every body of men, have all been weeded | out by their acceptance of the oath and amnesty proclamation, and the great mass of those that re- I main are as true as steel to (he Southern cause, and determined to stand firm to the last. The I l'ankee Government, in refusing to exchange these, i man for man, for those held by the Confederate j Government, confesses what would be humiliating 1 in the lowest degree to any ether but the Yankee people. “We would much rather feed you than fight • ! you,” said the Y'ankee commissary one day, as he ’ was doling out rations to the prisoners at Fort ' Delaware; “and we find it much cheaper and a ! great saving ia the long run.” i And said Lincoln, when approached on the sub ject of an exchange, “I hold sixty thousand Con- i federate soldiers prisoners of war, aud I’ll see Jeff ; Davis in h—l before I’ll give them up for our i men to meet them on tbe field again. I’ll be d—d ,if I won’t hold them. They are iess trouble te U3 North than they would be at the South.” What is this but a confession that the Confede rate soldier is not to be compared with a Northern • : hireling, and that the former is worth a premium ! over the latte/ of five or ten to one? — Richmond, j Examiner. - --j Modern Economy or Time.— The Scientific : America? thus shows bow time haa been econ- i i omized by the application or machinery:' I One man can spin more cot tv,n yarn now than j four hundred men could Luxe clone in the ; same time in 1669, when Arkwright, the best ! cotton spinner, took out hie gist patent.

In his early Congressional career, Edward Ev erett delivered a speech, from which we make' the extracts appended below. A Northern man ha3 but little difficulty in reconciling these views with those of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclama tion of the past: If there are any members in this House of that class of politictans to whom the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Saunders) alluded, as having tho disposition, though not the power, to disturb thecompromise contained in the Constitution oa this point, (the three fifths represeatative princi eiple,) I «\jn not of the number. Neither am I one of those citizens of tho North to whom an other honorable member lately referred, in a pub lication to which his name was subscribed, who would think it immoral and irreligious to join in putting down a servile insurrection at the South. lam no soldier, sir: my habits and education are unmilitary ; but there is no cause id which I would sooner buckle a knapsack to my back, and put a musket on my shoulder, than that. I would cede the whole continent to any one who would take it—to England,* to France, to Spain—l would soe it sunk to the bottom of tbe ocean— before I would see any part of this fine America converted into a continental Hayti, by that awful process of bloodshed and desolation by which alone such a catastrophe could be brought oc. The great relation to servitude in some fbrm or other, with greater or less departures from tho theoretic equjdity of man, is inseparable from our nation. I know of no other way by which the form of this servitude shall bo fixed but by politioa. institution. Domestic slavery, though I confess not that form of servitude which scorns to bo the most beneficial to the master —certainly that which is most beneficial to the slave—is not, in my judg ment, to be set dewn as an immoral and irreligi ous relation. I cannot admit that religion has but Due voieo to tho slave and that this voice is—‘Rise, against your master.’ No, sir ; the New Testament Jsavs ‘slaves obey your master; and though I know fu’t well, that in the benignant operation of Christi anity, which gathered master and slave around the same communion table, this unfortunate in stitution disappeared in Europe, yet I cannot ad mit that while it subsists, and where it subsists, its duties aro not pre-suppesed and sanctioned by religion. And though L certainly am not callci upon to meet the charges brought against this in j stitution, yet truth obliges mo to say a word more I en the subject. i I know tho condition of working classes in oth ! er countries; I am with it in some other countries ; and I have no hesitation in saying that I believe the slaves aro better cloth ed and fed and less hardly worked than the peas antry of some of the most prosperous States of the continent of Europe. To consider the checks oa population, read Malthus. What keeps popula tion down ? Poverty, want, starvation, disease and tho ills of life ; it is these that check popula tion all over the world. Now, tho slave popula tion in tho United States increase faster than tho white, masters included. What is the inference as to the physical condi tion of the two classes of soeiety ? These are opinions I have long entertained, and long since publicly professed on this subjeot, and which I here repeat in answer to the intimation to which I have already alluded. But, sir, when slavery comes to enter into the Constitution as a political element—when it comes to affect the distribution of power among the Statos of the Union, that is a matter of agreement. If I make an agreement oil this subject, I will adhere to it like a man : but I will protest against any inference being made from it of the kind which was made by the hon orable mover of these resolutions.
