The Army and the trip into North Georgia—The new

Jacusokvill*. Ala., Oct., 21,1864. !
The Army of Tennessee having fulfilled its mis- ;
Ton to North Georgia, which resulted in the capture j
ol Dalton with 1,350 prisoners; 850 of which are
blacks, and the destruction of some twenty-five
miles of Railroad between Itesaca and Tunnel Hill,
retired gracefully to ip- present n<u?tU») at Gadsden,
a little village upon ' he Coosa River." 25 miles north
west of this point. During the light at Dalton, ,

Imf'on'TAot Decision.—-We observe from the
Richmond Boquircr, that in the Confederate
States Court, Saturday last, Judge Halyburlon
delivered hi* opinion in the case ot Win. Barret
ys.’ P. A. Woods, tux collector—being an in
junction to compel the Collector to receive four
per c.n>. Confederate;bonds in payment ot cer
tain taxes, instead oi gold and silver. The
Judge was firmly of opinion that the tax could
be paid in four per cent, bonds, and therefore de
.•hied against the collector.
Tut. .Situation at Atlanta. —We have received
intelligence from a gentleman who resides in Fay
ette county, in this State, in whom we have every
reliance, that on the 24tli instant, early in the morn
tug. Gen. Iverson started for tho neighborhood of
“Fiat ■Shoal.” lie also states that from intelligence
received from a gentleman well and favorably
known to us, who resides in McDonough, and who
left (hi re on tho 25th iustant, that our forces had a
fight with the Yankees on tho day previous near to
Bethel Church, between Atlanta and Flat Shoals,
and drove thetu back, but the scouts did not know
any thing about the loss ou either side. It is thought,'
by our informant, in which we agree, that with en- j
ergy and resolution, Atlanta will again be in our!
possession in a few days. So mote it be, for this ,
will proven me.sore of relief to many counties tn

But even this accoamiisited,- tUcru vvas auoMi

of the crneiliers of her foumdor. When, f r
for good and substantial reasons, . therefore,
she consents to those mixed marriages, she
always throws as many safeguards as possible
around her children, particularly requiring
that provision should be made that the off
spring, if any, of the marriage, shall b? brought
up in the €)athdie church,
As I sav, 1 learn that there has been consid
erable difficulty in arranging tho prelimina
ries, aa<l removing alt these dfaculties ; biff,
every thing having been arranged, the mar
riage took place to-day. But a very samli
number of invitations had been issued, and
it was not generally known, f think even
aucorg the secession community in Paris, that
: it would occur to-day.
Before the hour appointed there were pro
bably two hundred persons' present in the
body of the church. These were composed
of the very creme de la creme of Parisian rebel
dom—arid there were some beautiful faces
among the fair hut rebellious daughters of
the sunny South present—a number of highly
respectable looking English sympathizers of
both, sexes, a few Northern secessionists, a
sprinkling of French aristocracy, a few indi
viduals with booked uoses and black beards,
evidently of the same religion* ! q .suasions"
with the bridegroom
M. Mocquard, the private secretary of ihc
Emperor Napoleon, who thus gave a sort, of
imperial %■ cog nitron to the creiavny.
A few of the “Northern scum,’ who. like
Banquo’a ghost, came uninvited; three or
four “intelligent contrabands”' aud several
stragglers, who were attracted by the appear
ance of the portly “Suisse,” dressed out in his
best regimentals, at the door. One individ
ual, wore a rebel officer s uniiortn. was pres
eat, as was the Secretary of the Portuguese
Legation, the only representative of foreign
diplomacy whom f noticed, excepting Mr.
Mason, the rebel ‘cqsjmissoner to the Conti
nent.
A little after twelve o'clock the bridal par
tv arrtvifd, tbe bride walking up the broad
aisle upon the svm of her father, followed by
.M. Brlanger »ml Mrs. Slidell
Miss Slidell h rather a tall and decidedly
fine looking voting lady of about twenty-two.
and has the reputation of being exceedingly
religious, benevolent and amiable.
She was dressed in white satin, with a long
train, and" wore the conventional veil aii.il the
wreath of orange blossoms. Considering that
Mr. Slidell is said to have, made a million or
more out of the rebel loan, struck me that
| he might have iudulged in anew dress coat
ou this occasion, as the oqyj he wore looked
i exceedingly seedy, and I thought the old gen
tleman himself looked rather dilapidated.—
The party passed by the high altar into the
i sacristy, where the marriage ceremony was
! performed, as the authorities of the church
; refused io relax the rule forbidding the per
i tormance of the marriage ceremony between
one of the faithful and a heretic before' the
! altar. After the-ceremony the newly married
pair came from the sacristy and boih knelt
before the altar while a beautiful mass* was
finely sung, After this they returned to the
! sa-ristv, where, after receiving congratula
tions of their friends, they passed out to the
' carriage to the music of Mendelsohn’s march
iu the “Mid Summer Night's Dream.
V Drafted Catholic Priest. —As eonski
tiTiblo interest is attached to the views of
Father Hennessy in connection with the draft,
we give a report of his remarks to his*congre
gation on Sunday morning. He spoke in sub
stance as follows :
■‘l ask the prayers and kind offices of the
church for the families of the poor men who
have suffered from the draft. During the
past'week it has passed over the city like a
whirkwiud. It is worse than cholera and the
plague, having none of the compensations of
those dreadful afflictions.
“They only destroy the body; this tortures
the soul. It drags its victims from their ago
nized families. Talk not of the tortures and
v ; . . ies of the middle ages. None of them
ever equalled this in cruelty. Tn all the coun
tries of Christendom (by which term I do not
mean the United Stales,) the priesthood are
; exempt from conscription; but here there is
r.o exemption. How long will it be before
they lay their hands upon the church and the
; sacred vessels ? Soon they will reach that
point where they have no respect for God
himself. Some have been so foolish as to sup
pose that I would acquiesce in the demand
, made upon me, and tear myself from ray be
; ioved people. It is now seventeen years since
1 have withdrawn from the world and devoted
myself to God, and I shall not,' unles3 upon
compulsion, do violence to my sacred vows.
In all Christian countries the priest who be
-1 comes a soldier is degraded to the extent cor
responding with excommunication among the
laity.
••Many Joving friends have stopped forward
and generously offered to take my place, but
: cannot ask another to do that which I do
not think it right to do myself. I shall abide
in my owu house until I am torn by sacrili
gious hands from my own people and from
the altar. If another is sent, I shall not pre
vent it, but I would prefer that these men
should carry out their barbarous dictates and
drag me through the streets in my'sacredotal
robes. * * * It is our duty to obey the
laws. To good laws we can always yield an
active obedience; to bad laws we should yield
passively. The great evil is that you have
sent men to make laws who do not even know
the nature of an enactment. They know only
how to carry out the dictates of their sav
age natures. r —Detroit Advertiser.
Prospect or a General War is Europe.—
The Berlin correspondent of the Now York Herald
closes his letter of the sth inst., as follows :
Altogether the situation is extremely curious ;
Russia is on the best possible terms with Prus
sia. and at the same time marries her Grand Duke
to the daughter of the King of Denmark, whom
Prussia has already stripped of two filths of his

A Remarkable Chapter in Naval Warfare.
—The report of the capture of tho rebel iron-clad
ram Tennessee, in Mobile Bay, must form one of
the most remarkable chapters iu naval warfare.—
It was no ordinary sort of sea monster that could
bear the concentrated attack of thirteen vessels of
war,'six of them iron-clad, with ffn armament of
two hundred guns, and y<t cmuc -it iff' tfce en
gagement with 11 few splinters detached from her
inner casing to murk the damage in her interior.
The Tennessee lay in the rear of our fleet after the
forts had been passed on the morning of tue sth
of August, And of fourteen vessels at Admiral
Farragut's disposal for the attack ail were per
fectly sound and uninjured (except the Tecumseh,
which had been sunk by a torpedo when the order
was given, shortly after eight o'clock, to bout ship
and give battle to the ram,' A signal was given
to all the fleet not only to commence the attack
with guns, but to run her down at full speed.—
The Monongahela, a steam frigate, not iron-clad,
was the first to strike the Tennessee, but the
shock; tremendous as it must have been to an or
dinary craft, bad no apparent effect upon the ram.
The Admiral’s flag-ship, the Hartford, next
dashed against her with her bow at full speed, im
mediately followed up the terrific stroke with a
whole port broadside of 9 inch shot ami thirteen
pounds of powder, at a distance of twelve feet, but
still tho oaken and iron thews and sinews of the
monster showed no perceptible loosening or fee
bleness. The monitors and tho remainder of the
fleet then closed in upon har ; and she surren
dered simply when she no longer had seaway to
move in. The pounding lasted for a full hour
and a half, at the end of that time she was given
up by her commander, Buchanan, in a condition
which enabled the engineers of our fleet to report
on the 13th of August—eight days after the fight
had taken place—that she was “in a ‘state
good service.”
The bare facts .of the engagement have to be re- ;
called along with those Tolating to the size, form,
structure and armament of the Tennessee, as they
serve to frustrate each other. The length of the
Tennessee from stem to stern on deck, is 200 feet,
her depth 4S feet, and her draught «f water about
14 feet. The deck covering is of 2 inch iron
plates. The protection to lue aides is an overhang
which extends about 6 feet below the wator line,
and is covered with double layers of two-inch
wrought iron. The distance between the outside
or knuckle of the overhang on deck, and the base
of the casemate is ten feet. The inner sides of
the vessel, as far as known by ,tn approximate
measurement, are eight feet thick. The prow is
less formidable in dimensions than might have
been supposed, extending en.y 2 fbet under the
water. v
The easement of the Tennessee, which is 78 feet
8 inches in length, and 28 teet 9 inches in width,
ldaves an open space on either side of ten feet (at
the greatest breadth es beam), and the framing of
the casing consists of heavy yellow pine beams,
13 inches thick, laid together vertically : an inner
planking of pine laid horizontally, s£inches thick,
and outside of the latter a layer of oak timber 4
inches thick, bolted on vertically, and covered
with iron plating—6 inches thick forward, and 5
inches thick abaft and on the sides. The armor
plating i* fastened on with bolts 1£ inches in
diameter, with washers and nuts fastening them
inside.
The Tennessee had an armament of six of what
are called Brookes’ rifled guns. The two pivot
guns (fore and aft) are 7$ inches bore, and the
four broadsides are 6 inches bore. The weight of
the projectiles are found to be 95 and 110 pound
solid shot.
The steering arrangement, and the provision for
the protection of the pilot and helmsman, our en
gineers haTO found to be exceedingly defective. —
The machinery consists of two “non-condensing’’ :
engines, with cylinders twenty-four inches in di
ameter, and seven feet stroke. These bad been
taken out es some old river steamboat; the ma
chinery department evidently being held alto ;
gather es minor account in the general plan of the
builders. As in most heavily-clad rams the ven
tilation was found to be exceedingly bad. The
main defeet, however, thus far discovered, is in
the port shutters, several of which were seriously
damaged by the shot from our heavy guns.—
Nine eleven inch shots were found to l ave struck
within a space of a few squa.ro leer, not one of
which, however, penetrated the casemate. Much
of her plating was started in many places, and
on the port side nearly amidships of the case
mate, a fifteen inch solid shot knocked a hole
through her armer and bavkiug a portion of the
latter falling off in splinters.
The ramming of our vessels left no visible mark
en the outside of the Tenuessee : but as she makes
two inches more water an hour than she did prior
to the fight, it is presumed that some of her invis
ble joints must have been partially deranged
with her repeated concussions with the assailing
fleet.
The Teunessee has lately been used by Admiral
Farragut to good purpose in the a3sauit on Fort
Morgan that preceded its surrender ; aad we
expect that she will yet do as much gftod
service, and take rank amongst the most pow
orfnl iron-clads in the navy of the Union. —Net

No other particulars.

Buh'kaoe Running—Relief of Confeder
ates. —The Liverpool-correspondent of the
New York Herald writes :
Blockade ltinning and cotton speculation
are now among the precarious and extra haz
ardous employments of capital. About forty
steamers are engaged in the illicit traffic, and
captures now are very frequent.
That sensitive commercial barometer, the
bank rate interest, continues up at the high
figure of nine per cent., and of course this
1 adds to the stringency ot the money market
! and the difficulty of raising funds by those in
a tight place.
The bazaar just held in Liverpool in behalf
; of the rebel wounded and destitute, I hear
! from a reliable source, will net some £15,000.
May it do the sufferers good. No doubt the
money will carry joy to many distressed crea
| tures who have been Innocent victims of
! one of the most monstrous crimes recorded in
, history.
I have just met a- sea captain who comes di
-1 rect from Glasgow, and tells me there are
' hundreds of steamers building and fitting out
in the Clyde and adjacent waters, all to run
the blockade. The;* act as if the war was to
! last for the next five years. He.says every
; ship, builder in the Clyde has gas lights in
his' yard, and, with relays of hands, work
| every hour of the twenty-four He tells me
! of one man—the old and successful blockade
runner. T. S. Bagbie—who starts four new
: paddle steamers this week. Bagbie, ‘though
a Scotchman, iesides here in London. I hope
! vour navy now is equal to the- emergency,
i though if fast steamers are wanted they ought
to buv some here iu London.

The World against Lincoln.—ls Mr. Lincoln
will keep on making speeches to returning regi
ments, there will be no need of his friends with
drawing him lrom the Presidential canvass. He
will “fizzle out,” to use one of his owu elegant ex
pressions, bv election day. His last speech to the
Ohio hundred day men was a gem in its way. By
the official report, which we give this morning, it
will be seen that Mr. Linco’n warns the soldiers not
to heed the ’'miserable picayune arguments” of the
opponents of his rule, and tries in a singularly con
fused way, to make out that the administration is
the government. This malapropos expression gives
the country the measure of Mr. Lincoln’s dignity
i 0 f character and elevation of sentiment- He, the
! occupant of a Presidential chair, a candidate for
; re-election in the most trying crisis of the nation’s
history, is so obvious to the proprieties of his posi
tion that ho stoop? to the contumelious words to
throw odium npoa his opponents. This “picayune”
speech of Mr. Lineoln ought to be circulated all
over the country. There is not a right- minded man
from Maine to California, no -matter what his poli
tics, but what will be disgusted with it and its au
thor, — World.

A Ghand Concert bv Madame Baimni. —We
have been requested to announce that Madame
Bailini, assisted by her phpils, will give a fraud
concert to-morrow (Tuesday) evening, for and in
behalf of herself, in which will be represented the
opera of “Traviafa, " with selections from “Nor
ma” aud ‘‘Martha. -' It is useless for us to expa
tiate on the well-known and highly appreciated
musical gifts of this lady, and, therefore, unneces
sary for us to predict a complete success on this
occasion. We will venture to suggest, however,
j that as she has ever been first and foremost in all
efforts to promote the good of others, and particu
; tarty unremitting in her labors to supply the
wants of our Suffering countrymen on tho tented
field, it is but simpfe justich that she now be hon
ored with a rousing beiiofit fbr herself. Much suc

The Exile- “sisteks” is the name of a trio of
bisters holding forth at Temperance Ilali in a vari
ety of Tableaux, Songs. Dances, Ac. Their enter
tainment ou Saturday night was poorly attended,
probably on account of sufficient notification not
haying been given, and in consequence of the hurr3 T
I °f preparati n, some part of programme wore in
: efficiently rendered. Some of the Tableaux were
; quite beautiful, and the Dancing and Singing of
j Rosa Ingram was creditable.
The Sisters give one more entertainment to-night.
Those wishing to assist the unfortunate should at
tend. We understand from parties who knew these
ladies in Atlanta, that they came of good family,
are deserving, and have lost their all by the inroads
of Y'ankeeism. Necessity has compelled them to
! resort to this course to obtain n living.—
This being the case they should be assisted.
Siege Matters—Four Hundred and Seventy
! sixth Day. —'Forty shells wore thrown at the city
1 during Wednesday-; but nineteen shots wero fired
! at the wreck of tho Flora, and at our James Island
: batteries.
It is our sad duty to chronicle four distressing
| casualties resulting from the explosion of one of ;
1 the enemy’s shells on Tuesday night, in a dwelling
situated in the more exposed portion oi the city.—
Lieutenant L. P. Mays, Lieutenant John Dardon,
: Lieutenant D. E. Willis and Private John Shan
i non, were sleeping in the same apartment, when a
, shell burst in their midst. Shannon was killed, and
Lieutenants Mays and Dardon so badly wounded
! that tbey did not survive amputation. Lieutenant
i Willis was also wounded, but his injuries are not
i believed to boos a dangerous character.

Therefore, be it Resolved, That we deeply and
solemnly regret the loss of one, whose place cannot
ae filled to this company, for his kind attentiveness
to the wants; of uis comrades, and for hi- fen less
ness and efficiency in 1 he hour of danger.
Re it Revolved , That we deeply and feelingly
sympathize with his relatives in this then sad afflic
tion, but have an abiding hope that their loss is
his gain, and that the God who shapes all destinies
will reward the true patriot.
Resolved, That a copy of these Resolutions -be
furnished ro the Columbus Daily Times for publi
