I appeal to my countrymen of all classes and sections, for their generous suppor and confidence.

The history of the past, written hi the blood of their comrades, but foreshadows the glorious future which lies before thtm. Inspired with these bright promi-es of success, I make this appeal to the men and women of my •■ountry, to lend mo the aid of their earnest and cordial co operation. Unable to join in the bloody coitfii ts of the field, they can do much to strengthen our catffle, till up our ranks, en courage our soldiers, inspire cor.fi lence, dispel gloom and thus hasten on the d:iy of our final suc cess and deliverance. • The arm o; Sherman still defiantlyi holds the city of Atlant >; he can and must bedriven from it. It is only for the good people of Georgia ? and sur rounding Statesto speak the word, and the work is done. Wc have abundance of provisions* and there are men enough in the country, liable and able for ser vice to accomplish the result. To all such, I earn estly 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 defensive hour. To those soldiers of the army, who are absent from their commands without leave, I appeal in the name of their brave comrades, with whom they have in the past so often sharM the privations of the camp and the dangers of the battlefield, to re turn at once to their duty. To all such as shall re port to their respective commands in response to this appeal, within the next thirty days, an amnesty is hereby granted. My appeal Hto every one, o. allcl« and con ditions, to coma forward freely, cheer! a I y und with a good heart, to the work that lists before us. My countrymen! respond to this call a3 you have done in days that have pas', and with the blessings of a kind and over-ruling Providence, the enemy shall bo driven from your soil, the security of your wives and daughters, from the insults and the out rages of a brutal foe, shall be established, soon to be.followed by a peruicn uit 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: wc cannot, dare not, will not fail to respond. Full of hope and omfideuce, I come to join in your struggle? sharing your privations, and with your brave ami. true men, to strixe the blow thst shall bring success to our arms, triumph to our cause, and ponce t<» our country.

Crops were never more abundant. The Confeder ate commissioners for the State have fixed the prices for bacon, for September, at 50 cents a pound, brown sugar 75 cents, and other things in propor tion. The sugar crop of Texas, this year,, it is said, will turn out 2,500 hogsheads. Tho Houston Telegraph indignantly denies that there is any intention on the part of Texas and’the States west of the .Mississippi to set up for them selves, independent of the Confederate States, but says if it should so happen that we on this side get whipped out, which it regards as an impossibility, we can all go to Toxas, where, owing to the extent of territory, and the lack of navigable rivers, we can keep, not Yankees only, but the whole world at bay forever and ever. How truly did Shakspeare say : “I am nev er merry when 1 hear sweet music.” How often has a golden sunset or a silver night brought sadness to the soul—a sadness with out pain ; or the luys of some sweet river, or the strains of some sweet tune, filled eyes with tears that had no thought of sorrow. “Entering into .details,” as Cooper said, when lie concluded to reinforce the army.

Persons direct from General Ear ly’s army say that the Confederate cavalry, in their retreat and panic, came pouring down upon our artillery, in the streets of St ran burg, fright ened tho horses, throw everything into confu sion, and rendered it impossible for the infantry to afford the guns any protection. General Ros ser, however, after nightfall, b}' his personal ex ertions, collected his cavalry, and brought off some of the guns. Tho enemy’s loss was very large. They confess to alossof 5,000. —Richmond Dispatch. From the Southwest.— General Breckiu ridge's men are not permitted to cat idle bread, but push ahead and keep moving.— He has smoked at last the Yankees out of Bull’s Gap,-their favorite place of refuge, as we learn from /in official dispatch received at the War Department last night, which states that General Breckinridge reports that his scouts on the night of the 16th. burned the railroad bridge Over Mossy Creek. Before daylight on the 18th the enemy evacuated Bull’s Gap, retiring towards Knoxville. Gen. Vaughn is pursuing. Colonel Henry Gilmer, of Kentucky now’ in command of one. of the brigades of General Breckinridge’s command, is not only aa ac* cemplisfted officer, but has done some of the hardest fighting of the war. Leaving Ken tucky in the fall of 61, he soon returned and recruited a company, of which he was made captain He next organized a battalion, and shortly afterwards the regiment of which he is Colonel. For a year past he has been act ing brigadier. In the skirmishing which pre ceded the fight at Saltville, as well as in that and other engagements, he was conspicuous for his gallantry and the ability with which be handled bis troops. — Whir/, 21 s(. From Mood’s Army. We have carefully avoided giving any statement showing the appareut designs of the Commander f of the Aroiy of Tennessee. It has been known at these headquarters for several days that that the army would cross the Tennessee river, very soon, not far below Bridgeport. We considered it all important that this movement should ho made with as much secrecy as possible, and hav« re frained from any publication of reports in refer ence to the movement. The Montgomery and other papers have thought diflereiv, and the fact is now mada public. So far the movement has been successful, and this morning the maiu array under General Hood has entered the promised land. It is a source of great gratification and re lief to know that our soldiers are in good condi tion, well clad, and geflwaUy well shod. We have good authority for saying that a large portion of the army received new shoes a few days since. It is stated that when our forces captured Dal ton they found enough shoes to furnish the whole army. Our army then goes into Tennessee in glorious spirits, with confidence in their General Commanding, and eager to wipe out tlie invader. One day’s march after crossing the Tennessee will bring our army directly upon Sherman’s only railroad communications, cut off Chattanooga and force Sherman to leave Georgia, either by the way of East Tennessee Railroad, and, thence through the Cumberland Gaps, or fight his way out through our lites. This bold flank movemont of the bold Hood is the boldest on record, and if successful will close the career of the great flanker, Sherman. [Nefma Dispatch, 25 th. Explosion \or thk ‘‘Senator No. 2.’’ —The telegraph this morning brings the sad intelli gence o< the explosion of the Senator, w i.th the loss of frOm twenty to thirty lives. The Selma Re porter eay»: Among the lost—most ot whom were negroes—we lean, that tho mate and steward are numbered. The lady passengers, we rejoice to state, were saved —though barely. Several of them are residents of this vicinity. The explosion occurred at- Irby 's Lauding. The vessel was burned to the water's edge. The Mia sissippian says the boat was destroyed by fire. There were about sixty passengers on boad,‘com prising soldiers, citizens and ladies. It is report ed there were only two ladies aboard and that- they were saved in the small boat. Occurring while all were asleep, but little information could be obtain ed of the ourviving passengers who came up ou the Cherokra ; wo learn from the officers of this boat, however, that nearly all the negroes (deck hands) being around the boilers were killed, and several soldiers and eitiiens lest t also thought that one of the pilots was lost as he ! was known to have beea badly weaaded.— M<mt pocaery Mail 27 tA Yankee Accounts of the Affair in the Valley. A telegram from Martinsbuig gives the to!-* lowing account of the engagement: At daylight this morning made a furious attack on the left ot our position near Strasburg, which was held by Crook. His attack was successful. We were driven from the ground with the loss of a number of pieces of artillery and some prisoners. Simultaneous with the attack on tbe left, a furious charge was made on our centre and right, and we were compelled to fall back be yond Strasburg. At Cedar creek our army halted, and'was there joined by Sheridan, who was on his return Horn Washington. Our brokm lines were quickly reformed, and, lifter repulsing a furious charge,of the enemy, assumed the offensive, completely routing the enemy. Our cavalry is now in hot pursuit of the flying enemy, with our infantry following as fast as they can. Three rebel generals are known to be woun ded, namely: Gen. Raraseqr (who is a pris oner,) Lomax, and another general, whose name I am w table to ascertain. Our losse- are estimated at 5,000. Prisoners captured say that Longstreet lost three-fourths of his artillery. The following is a copy of Sheridan’s offi cial dispatch : Cedar Creek, Oct. 10—10 p. m. To Lieut. Gen. Grant, City Point: I have the honor to report that my army at Cedar creek was attacked this morning before daylight, aud my left was turned and driven in confusion. In fact, most of tbe line was driven in'eonfusion, with the loss of 20 pieces ot artillery. I hastened from Winchester, where I was, ou my return from Washington, and found the armies between .Middletown and New town, having been driven back about four miles. I here took the affair in hand and quickly united the corps, formed a compact line of battle just in time to repulse an attack of the enemy, which was handsomely done about 1 o’clock in the afternoon. At 3 p. m., after some changes of the cav alry from the left to the right flank, I attacked with great vigor, driving and routing the ene my, capturing, according to the last report, 43 pieces of artillery apd very many prisoners. I do not know yet the number of my casual ties or the losses of the enemy. Wagons, trains,ambulances and caissons in large num bers are in our possession. They also burned some of their trains. Gfnerul Ramseur is a prisoner in our bauds, severely and perhaps mortally wounded. I Lave to regret the loss of General Bidwell, killed, and Gens. Wright, Grover and Rick etts. wounded. General Wright is slightly wounded. Affairs at times looked badly ; but by the gallantry of our brave officers and men, dis aster has been turned into a splendid victory. Darkness again intervened to shut off greater results. 1 now occupy Strasburg. A9 soon ?ts obtained I will send ton further particulars. P. H. SHERLDAN, Major-General. A telegram from Washington says : Another great victory has been gained by General Sheridan over t’ue reinforced rebel Army of the Valley ; dearly gained, it is true, but nevertheless thorough and complete. From General Hood. The latest Yankee dispatch from Chatta nooga is dated the 19th. It says that the day before Sherman started in pursuit of Hood, who was retreating southward by way of Blooratown Valley. A letter, dated at Mari etta, October 3d, gives these items regarding the personal situation just previous jto Hood’s last “forward march:” Brigadier-General John M. Corse relieved Brigadier-General William Van Deveer of tho command at Rome last week. Brigadier-Gen et ai Van Deveer assumed command of the district of Marietta yesterday, relieving McAr thur, who goes to the Mississippi. Veatch and Woods are on ihc Sweeney court-martial now iu progress at Atlanta. Thomas has gone to Chattanooga on business relating to military movements. Slocum commands Ihe Twentieth corps and the city of Atlanta.— Howard is living in a wall-tent, at Eastpoint, and Schofield is ruminating at Decatur. Latest from 3llsso:iri—Capture of AnoHier Towss. The latest intelligence from Missouri states that General Clark captured the town of G las gow on Saturday, with six companies of the' Forty-third Missouri (Federal) aud two hun- j dred citizens who were, assisting in the de- ; fence Four cannon were taken with them. He paroled the garrison and sent them to Bdoneville. Business was suspended, St. Joseph's and Kansas City. A telegram from S;. Louis, says : Quant roll and Jackman were with the rebel array with commands, they being recognized as rebel officers. So is Bill Anderson. Price encamped at .Marshall, Lafayette county, on Sunday night, and occupied the country between that place’and Lexington.— He is said lo be greatly encouraged at the small forces to oppose him. He talks confi dently of wintering in the State. Anderson, Jackman and others, have enlis ted a number of recruits in North Missouri.— Charlton and Howard counties have each fur nished fifteen hundred ; Boone, twothousand; Randolph, one thousand : Calloway and Mon roe, eight hundred each. In addition to the recruits, the rebels are constantly gathering arms from the captured garrisons, and their army in assuming alarming proportions. The Herald gives the following as the very la'est from Missouri: General Rosecrans, who is at the front, in command of the Union forces pursuing Gen eral Price, says, in his latest telegrams, that the main .rebel army is still east of Black water river. Tnis is regarded as favorable, iu consideration of tbe present disposition of the national troops, and gives hope that Gen Rosecrans will be able to overtake and com pel the rebel chieftain to fight. A large force from Kansas City, Missouri, under General Curtis, and also a considerable body ot Kan sas militia, are moving eastward upon Price. Army or Tennessxb.—The folk wing is an extract from a letter dated Blue Mountain. October 19th : ‘•Hood has completely destroyed the Geor gia State Road from Calhoun to Tunnel Hill, a distance of twenty-nine miles, except the bridge at Resaca. We have captured a large number of negro troops, and put them to work tearing up the railroad track, Ac. When first captured they objected to being worked by us, claiming lo be United States soldiers. After a few of them were bayoaelied by Cheatham's men. the remainder went to work at a double quick. Our troops arc in fine spi-its. Confi dence prevails. Beauregard took command of tbe army to-day. All looks promising. [&d*n« Reporter. $5.00 Per Mont Extract from Comptroller Gen* eral’s Report.

But, as the State has, for several years past, at different times, redeemed Bonds not due, it is possible these Bonds may have been paid, and the fact of payment omitted to be entered on the Bond Book. But, if paid, they are sealed up in packages, in the Treasury office, which neither the Treasurer or Comptroller General can open without authority from the Leg islature. It will thus bo seen that the State is now ia debted in Bonds to the amount of $6,086,250 — $216,000 of which being past due, are not pay ing any interest. The remaining bonds new out are paying an annual interest of $387,390, vis ; $3,529,500 7 per cent, bonds, $247,065,00 ; $2,278,750 5 per cent, bonds, $136,725,00 and $72,000 5 per cent bonds, s36oo,jwhich amount of interest will be reduced each year, as the bonds become due or are redeemed. The amount now due and coming clue, during 'the fiscal year 1864, is $234,000, but whether all will be presented within that time is questionable, as some of them are no doubt in the Northern States, and may not be presented until after the elose of the war. In addition to this debt of the .State in bonds, she also owes $6,993,000 in Treasury notes and $1,395,000 in Treasury certificates of deposit, lately issued for 8 and o per cent. Treasury notes, that bear no interest. Neither are they funda ble or redeemable until six.months after a treaty of peace. It is true a portion of them are redeemable “six months after a treaty of peace, or when the Banks of Savannah and Augusta re sume specie payments, if before that time,” yet, as it. is not at all probable that the Banks of Sa vannah and Augusta will resume specie payments before that time, it may be said that none of the Georgia Treasury notes, or Treasury Certificates of Deposit, issued for the same, are fundable or redeemable until six months after a treaty of peace. The State also owes, in Confederate Treasury •Notes, for $1,411,412 00 State Change Bills, lately issued, and also for $8,095,000 Treasury Notes is sued a few months back to meet the appropria tions of the last Legislature, but which are to bo redeemed out of the taxes of 1864, now being col lected. The Public Debt of Georgia therefore, at this time, is as follows: Bonds, bearing interest; $5,870,250 00 Bonds, not bearing interest 216,000 00 State Treasuay Notes not bearing in terest. 6,993,006 00 State Treasury Certificates of Deposit, not bearing interest 1,395,000 00 State Change Bills, rrot bearing in terest “ 1,411,442 00 $15,885,692 00 To which may be added the $5,095- 000 of Treasury Notes payable in new issue of Confederate Treas’rv Notes —which, if not presented before the 25th of March next, are ‘‘not redeemable except in payment of public dues,” 8,095,000 00 Making total $23,980,692 00 To interest and meet the Debt as it be comes duo (the $8,095,000 of Treasury Notes duo on the 25th December being already provided for,) Georgia has not only her taxable wealth, worth in specie currency 7 or 800,000,000, but she hasalso the following public property, which, if sold at any time the resumption of specie pay merits, would pay mere than two-thirds of this debt (after the $8,005,900 is taken up by the taxes of this year), leaving but a vary small-debt to be hereafter paid by taxation. Her Public Property is as follows: 7 000 Shares of Stock in the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad. 700,00(1 00 20,909 Shares of Stock in sereral Banks. 290,900 00 Also, her Western & Atlantic Rail road, which has been paying in to the State Treasury since 1859 » between 6 and 7 per cent, upon $7,000,000, and paid into the Treasury in 1863, before the ene my got possession of it, $1,650,- 000, and which, before the rise of all kinds of property, was valued by a committee of the Legislature art 7,849,221 68 $8,840,124 68 As about $9,000,000 of this debt has been crea ted by the State during the war, for her military defense, and for assisting in clothing the soldiers of the Confederacy from Georgia, the amount thus necessarily spenf will no doubt, at some fu ture day, be assumed and be refunded by the Con federate State3 Government. But whether this be done or not, if the Stateis not forced to increase her Debt further for war purposes, even with one fourth of her present tax (or 25 cents on the $100), and with the net annual incomes from our Rail roads, we can go on and defray the ordinary ex penses of our State Government, and be liberal towards Education, our Lunatic, Blind and other institutions, and pay our debt prompt ly ; and could thus pay the whole of it in about half the time some of it is due, without the State’s -selling one dollar of her Public Property.
