Ho aid av Evening;. j Measures for the Relief of Prisoners, i The friends of the Confederates now held j in. captivity at the North, will rejoice toleaiu that arrangements hare been made for the relief of the latter during the winter. As we tearn from a letter from “P. W. A.” to the Savannah Repub.ican, Judge Culd, Couieue j rate commissioner ot exchange, has proposed j to the Federal Secretary; of War and Major ; Mulford, the assistant commissioner on the ; ptirt ot the United States, that each Govern - i meat shall uavt the privilege of forwarding | for the use and comfort of such of its prison* i ers ;is are held by the other, all necessary I articles of food .rid clothing, and Gea. Gram has notified Get . Lee of the acceptance of the proposition. The details of tble agreement have not been fixed, but it is understood that it will include necessary clothing and blank ets, and rations ot meat, bread, coffee, sugar, pickles, vinegar and tobacco. Jude Quid sug gested that it would be necessary that the Confederate authorities should make purchase of these articles outside the limits of the Con-, federate States, and then ship them to one of the Federal ports, since it would be impracti cable to send the stores by flag of truce boats —the supplies thus sent to be considered as being in addition to such rations as are fur nished by tiie Government which has the prisoners in custody. To this General Grant replies : “In the proposition submitted by Judge Quid, I see no one thing to object to. I shall be perfectly willing to receive at any place held by the Federal troops, all clothing or delicacies sent for the use of prisoners in our hands, provided the same privilege is extended for supplying the wants of those held by Confederate au thorities. No objection will be urged to re ceiving supplies for like distribution at any of our Northern ports, direct from Europe, or to allowing purchases in Northern cities for the same purpose.’’ Such is the spirit of the entire correspon dence, which is highly honorable to all par ties concerned in it. Gen. Grantwsuggests that a commissioned officer of each party be select ed from among the prisoners of war, 'whose duty it shall be to receive and receipt for all articles sent for distribution, and who shall see that they are distributed according to the wishes of those sending them ; and to this suggestion Gen. Lee gives his ready assent. Upon consultation with General Lawton, General, it was ascertained that clothing cannot be purchased m Europe and delivered to our prisoners in the North before the middle of January or first of Feb ruary next, and in thatview, as blankets are their first and greatest need, Judge Quid has recommended to Mr. Seddon, the Secretary of War, the immediate purchase of thirty thousand pairs to be made in a Northern city. He suggests, also, that the Federal authorities be asked to allow us to ship au amount of cotton from Wilmington, or some other port, sufficient to make the purchase. Mr. Seddon approves of the recommendation and suggest ion, and has authorized Judge Quid to proceed at once to their execution. A Washington telegram in the New York World says that provost marshal general Fry had officially represented that the conscription law is a failure in obtaining soldiers and rec ommending the repeal of the substitute clause and the compulsion of the personal service of drafted men, and also that Mr. Lincoln will, if re-elected, call for a peremptory draft of 300,- 000 on the Ist of January. Considering that Early was so thoroughly routed and so nearly exterminated the other day, the following from Sheridan’s army was hardly to have been expected, viz: The ene my has still a very strong force in the Valley. Undercover of the present stillness move ments are being made by the enemy of an em inently important character. Gentlemen just from Richmond report our friends there, soldiers and citizens, to be in cheerful and confident spirits. It 'is stated that Gen. Lee has been reinforced by about 15,000 reserves. Maryland Politics. —The Inquirer’s more correspondent says, that on the 27th ult. the Maryland State Democratic Convention mej in that city and nominated Judge Chambers, of Kent county, for Governor, and Oden Bowie, of Prince George, for Lieutenant Governor. Refer ring to the Convention, and the politico l senti ments of these nominees, the correspondent says : The attendance is tolerably fa ; “, and the delega-. tions are composed largely of known secessionists. Both nominees for Governor and Lieutenaut Gov ernor are strong sympathizers with those in rebel lion. «, «» . Headqurters. —The Mississippian announ ces the presence of Major E. S. Burford, Gen. Beauregard’s chief of staff, in Selma, for the purpose of making arrangements for estab lishing permanently in that city the head quarters of the military department of the West. _ ‘ The Supreme Court of North Carolina has de cided that all persons belonging to the force known as Senior Reserves, composed of men be tween 45 and 50 years, are entitled to a discharge on arriving at the age of 50s A Great Victory.— The Richmond Whig of the 31st says that the battle of the 27th ult., extended along the whole line, from beyond Petersburg to the Darbytown road. The success was most triumphant. We eveiy where, wkh almost no loss, triumphantly repulsed the enemy. One of the Richmond journals estimates his entire loss at. S to 10,000 men, We have no doubt it reached a very high figure, We took 1,365 prisoners, who are now in Richmond and | have been counted. If the Yankees had gained | such a victory, Lincoln world have ordered a day | of thanksgiving. The Richmond Whig of the 31st says; Fifty Yan ; kee deserters came into on” lines from Grant’s army ; on Saturday and yesterday. About 200 will, this ■ morning, be started to points selected by them in j the United States. Four hundred Yankee prison ers, among them jjen. Duffie, captured by Mosby, ’ were received at the Libby yesterday and Saturday. The Front, Montgomery Mail Office, | ; Saturday, Nov. 5, 10 A. M. } Our army did not take Decatur. After a dem- I : onstration in force, it passed below that point,; and our information this morning, places General j Hood’s headquarters at Tuseumbia. We do not regard any intelligence, however, as reliable at i | present. We have had nothing from our special ■ j agent for a week. Montgomery Mail Office, ] Saturday night, 10 o’clock, j j We have conversed with a Confederate Surgeon i just down from Griffin, and a scout just from the ! Army of Tennessee. j From the former we learn that Sherman has re- j ; turned to Atlanta with four corps, which, with the J garrison left at that point, make a total of five j i corps in and about the city. ; Our other authority states that Hood is at Tus- ! l cumbia, that he is confronted by Thomas, and that there aro prospects of an engagement. ! Fresh levies have recently been sent to-Mid- i die Tennessee, swelling the Yankee force to ! forty thousand, which enable Sherman to leave j Thomas in charge. If these reports be trae, we may expect an early j advance upon Augusta or Macon. There is aTu mor of a fight between sorno of the Georgia State troops, and a portion of Schofield’s corps, near Stone Mountain, on last Wednesday. It is also reported that a raid is en route for "Athens. Os these, however, we cannot possibly have any definite intelligence. General Forrest is still on the Tennessee river, with his batteries and his ‘fliorse marines,” and we may expect at auy time to hear of his gunboat operations. 'Vest Tennessee.—The Memphis Bulletin of the 27th ult., brings good news from West Tennessee. As usual its reports are full of Abolition spite, but- they nevertheless show that Forrest, “or some other man,” is stirring matters briskly. “The rebei leaders,” it is stated, are just, at this time exceedingly active. | They have established railroad and telegraph ic communication between Corinth and Jack son. They are making a wholesale conscrip tion of all men able to bear arms, are gather* ing in boys of tender years and men tottering on the brink of the grave. They are at the same time sending their agents into every portion of West Tennessee outside of the Fed- ! u-al lines to appropriate for the use of the rebel army everything that can be made' available. Stock of ali kinds, as horses, mules, cattle, and.hogs, with household goods, money and other valuables. The Bulletin also says that the “rebel gov* era or of Tennessee, Isham G. Harris, has been recently in consultation with Forrest and other rebel chiefs, and that unless the Federal authorities forestall the project by. some movement, a session of the rebel Legislature of Tennessee is to be held at some point iti West Tennessee, so that thi3 may be made i and go abroad as evidence that the rebels i have permanently reacquired West Ten nessee ” W e hope the Bulletin is correct in every ; statement.— Memphis Appeal , sz7<. t t i The following dispatch was received at General Dick Taylor’s Headquarters, Selma, on the 3d Nov: Paris, Tenn., October 31. Lieutenant General R. Taylor; - _My batteries on the Tennessee river have engaged | the enemy all day with great success. Two gunboats and two transports were destroyed ; in attempting to pass.

FORREST, Major General. Food for the Prisoners—an Appeal to the Country. —Commencing next week, there will be an exchange of one thousand prisoners per day. Those brave men, who have suffered so long in our cause, will arrive in tliis city, many of them sick and feeble, and, doubtless, all of them hungry. Ten thousand of them are to be exchanged, and some arragement must be made to furnish all with refreshments on landing. Savannah and the military au thorities are willing to do their share, but they cannot dc all, as every reasonable man will readily perceive. We, therefore solicit from all* patriots in the country contributions for this purpose. We know they are willing and ready to aid, and we hope they will do it promptly. So, immediately after reading this notice, let every housekeeper pack up some thing that can be spared and forward it, by express or otherwise, to either of the editors of this city—“ Republican” or “Morning News.” The exchange will commence next week, and what our friends are willing to do, must be done forthwith. Bacon, fresh meats of all kinds, poultry, eggs, potatoes and other veg etables, will be thankfully received. Let all do something, and our brave men will give them a lasting gratitude.

Such an interpretation of the law would" be with out precedent, and its execution would be annoy ing and offensive to the last degree ;o the public, whilst the tax derived L ora it would be utterly [ insignificant.

This morning we have news that Lieut. Brown was in command, and that all the cotton within easy reach of the Federal lines was destroyed.— These incendiaries visited, during the night, Mrs. Adams’, Bayou Sara road, Mr. Sheppard’s, Clinton road, Mr. Pratt’s and Mrs. Cunningham’s, Comite road, and several other places, and burnt every bale they met with, no matter to whom they be longed, whether friend or foe. It is calculated that nearly five hundred bales were consumed in the immediate vicinity of Baton Rouge. We are sorry to say that several worthy ladies have by this wanton act of destruction been reduced to hopeless poverty. We learn from Baton Rouge that a band of 20 or 30 guerrillas, under Capts. Greruar and Williams, made a descent upon a government plantation, (Mrs. Randolph’s) a few days ago, sixteen miles from Plaquemine, and also upon the Magnolia plantation, capturing and carrying away all the hands, and it is said, beating some negro women on the former place nearly to death. Captain Gremar was heard to say that he had orders from General Hurlbert to seize all negroes on plantations under supervision of Federal authorities. The Editor of the Charlottesville Chronicle says he has enquired particularly into the charge of intem perance against Gen. Early, and he is entirely satis fied it is untrue, and he emphatically denies it. Richmond has only a few days of grace left, t low I ates. of Illinois, in a public speech, lately declar ed that he tnought he might safely say, from some letters which he had been permitted to real, offi cially, that Richmond would be in their possession before the 3th of November ( FIVE DOLLARS 1 PER MOXTII. Latest froii the United States. • From New York papers of tho 31st, we make the following extracts: THE RECENT “RECOXNOISSAXCES. The Herald's correspondent gives some ex tensive details of the recent "reconnoissanees” around Richmond and Petersburg, the sum of which is the usual lying pa-au to Grant and the other Yankee Generals. Os the losses on the northside, one Correspondent says that •■the rebel loss must have been heavier than oars,’ because they .made the only real attacks that were made during the day/’. He says that a thousand rebel prisoners were captured. The northside correspondent says that But ler’s loss in wounded was about four hundred and fifty. He has nothing definite about pris oners. He says : It is evident that Lee was wholly on the denfensive. General Butler, therefore, hav ing ascertained to his satisfaction that the enemy, instead of moving in this direction and giving him battle were simply strength- perfecting their defensive lines, or dered the withdrawal of his troops, and to day, the respective corps are holding the sev eral positions left yesterday morning. Gen. Lee, it must be confessed, displayed his usual , and indisputable sagacity in these operations. FROM THE VALLEY. Our dispatch from Hagerstown, Md., dated at a quarter past ten o’clock last night, state that firing in the direction of Sheridan's front was heard yesterday afternoon ; but whether a fight was in progress is not known. The disposition being made by General Sheridan of different commands and detachments ot his army shows his vigilance and his preparations to meet assaults in every direction. General Neal, we are informed, has been ordered to Wast Virginia on important service, which is most likely to check any designs Breckinridge may have of moving through from East Ten nessee. Over two thousand refugees have come into GeD. Sheridan’s lines since the 19th of September, many of them bringing with them such of their property as they can carry. It is again said .that Early has been superced ed in command of the rebels in the Shenan doah Valley by Longstreet, and that reinforce ments have reached them from Breckinridge, tin West Virginia and East Tennessee. Our correspondents give additional particulars of Major Gibson’s successful reconnoissance in the Luray Valiev, heretofore noticed in the Herald. A dispatch from General Kelley dated at Cumberland, Md., s-tates that a detachment of the Eighth’Ohio cavalry was attacked on last Saturday morning by three hundred of the rebel Imboden’s men. under Major Hill, who after two hours hard fighting, were repulsed and routed, with a loss of fifteen prisoners, fifteen killed and a large number wounded. Major Hill was mortally wounded and cap tured. The Union loss was seven killed and twenty-one wounded. The location of the flight is not. given. r FROM SHERMAN. | Our .advices from Chattanooga, says the j Herald'state that Gereral Hood attacked De ! catur,'Alabama, ori Saturday last, but being I repulsed withdrew, and renewed the attack i yesterday morning, when, being again re i pulsed, with the loss of four pieces of artillery i and one hundred and thirty men captured, he I moved off and crossed the Tennessee river | northward at the mouth of Cypress Creek j Beauregard is said to be with Hood. The | latter,dn a general order to his troops, as ! sures them that Sherman's whole army does not exceed thirty-five thousand. The prowling rebel leaders in West Ten nessee are now very active at various points Outside of the Union lines. They have estab lished telegraph and railroad communication from Jackson, Tennessee, to Corinth, Miss., and are conscripting every male person with* in their reach, including old men and young boys, and are seizing all the cattle, goods and valuables they can find. From the fact that the rebel Governor Harris has had a confer ence with Forrest, it is thought that attempts will be made, for the sake of effect abroad, to hold a session of the rebel Legislature of Ten nessee. FROM MISSOURI. From Missouri we learn that the country through which Price has so hurriedly retreated before the unflagging pursuit of Pleaston’s avengers is filled with rebel stragglers. When Price was last heard from, on Friday last, he I was in the southwestern corner of the State J of Missouri, and endeavoring to reach Arkan ! sas. He bad then, out of all the artillery with j which he commenced his grand invasion, on- Ily two pieces left. Stringent measures are | in progress of execution to rid the entire State | of Missouri of the thieving and murdering j rebel bands now infesting it. FROM ARKANSAS. We are informed from Arkansas that the : rebel Legislature of that State met on the 22d j of last month, there being thirteen senators 1 and forty representatives present. The mes i sage of the rebel Governor Flannigan recom -1 mends that soldiers be allowed to vote. Al j'bert Pike has been defeated in an election for . member of the Richmond Congress from Ar | kansas by A. P. Garland, who is regarded as slightly tinctured with a love for the old Union. A REBEL RAID ON BUFFALO. New York is on a scare. For instance— Buffalo, Oct. 30. 1864.—An official mes sage was,received by the provost marshal of this city from Canada this afternoon, stating that the rebels in Canada are to make an im mediate raid on Buffalo The military are now under arms, and the city will be patrolled to-night. It is also stated that two brig3 will be armed 'and patrull the harbor. IMPORTANT TO DESERTERS. The Herald of the 29th says: Major General Dix has issued from his head quarters of the Depatment of the East, an im portant order, in which he states that informa tion has been received by him of a design on the part of the rebel agents in Canada to send deserters, refugees and enemies of the Govern ment across the border to vote at our Presiden tial election, and perhaps to plunder and bum our towns. He therefore calls for increased vigilance on the part of the provost marshals and citizens, and says that suitable guards for the frontier will be provided before election day. As further precaution, all persons from the insurgent States now in his department, or who may come into it up to the 3d proximo, are required to reg ister themselves, if in this city, at General Peck’s headquarters, 37 Bieecker street; if out ©t the city, at the nearest provost marshal’s of fice. GREELET ON* THE STUMP. The Herald has the following political item : Greeley is making stump speeches in New Eng- : land, and we perceive from some of his remarss that he is returning to his old principles on the Union question. He is in favor now, just as he j was at the beginning of the secession movement, j of letting the South go out and the Union go to I pieces. In«his Hartford speech, the other day he declared that, if the S ntthern people decided by a ; fair vote Cos go out of toe Union he was in favor of letting them do so This is precisely what he said in IS6I. »A NEW I'ldtCSr S'A XT-- H«aceb>r(h, • tbjarg will be an addition a: star in tag field of blue on our glorious national ban ner.'

MASSACHUSSEI’TS SOLDIERS VOTING 3N INDIAN The Boston Courier gives the following extract from a letter from a Massachusetts soldier wa.-c regiment is stationed at Camp Burnside Indiana] lis, written on the day of election : It is election day here and everything is g on as quiet as possible. The only thing that i h like iu it is that the men of our regiment car. c 1 down and vote tho same as if they lived here. T:i ticket that I send you was given to me by one c the friends of Governor Morton, for me to'go down to the city and vote? but I did not s : it, although there has been a groat number voted. It i? a kind of backhanded game. Last Sunday, on ov dress parade, we were addressed by Gov. Morton, who thanked, us for the service we had done and said he was well pleased with our conduct while we were out here. . UTICA TELEGRAPH VCR OLD ABE. The Utica Telegraph, heretofore a neutral pa per in polities, which recently changed proprie tors, now supports the election of Mr. Lincoln. MISSOURI RADICALS ON THE POLITICAL SITUATION, A radical letter writer from St. Louis thus rete to the radicals : They ask me here, what will tho “radical Do mocracy” do? Will they vote for McClellan r for Mr. Lincoln ? If I tell them that they wilt vote for neither they stand stupified and lose (lie little sense which still remained in their brains. “If I had a party,” says a radical editor,‘“l should be compelled to become a negro, for how el -;e could I sell myself?’’ The Black Flag. —The following is an extract from the letter of a Confederate soldier in the Val ley.

I am still here with a few o’ our friends. * * * Poor ilfosby, we seem to have lost him from over here altogether. No doubt he is doing extra well where he is. Igo to tho Gap occasionally, that i a few of us go there,-: but it is very dangerou.-, a the Yankees are always around, and you know thev have got to downright killing oh both sides. Th is unfortunate. I deplore it; wo all deplore it; ba it is what was to be expected from those who would deprive us of our liberties. * * * Four Yankees now lay near here. They were shot in the woods in retaliation for similar barbari ties. We now feel disposed to kill every Yankee we get The Yankee election is much talked of in the army, and I think General Lee will do all he can to gain a great victory before it comes off. You have heard of our defeat in the Valley, no doubt. I have nothing to write on the subject. I would like to know who has under the circumstances.— Do not think we have given up the ship; a fait wind may blow yet, and we are watching for it.— * * We know all about Yankee movement- Mrs. Patterson Allan, charged with earning on a treasonable correspondence with persons living in the United States, appeared before Judge Halybur ton in Richmond, October 26th, and renewed her recognizance in the sum of one hundred thousand dollars, with her husband as surety, for her personal appearance on the 13th of December next, whe the case will be heard. The Black Flag. —The Richmond correspon - dent of the Appeal, says? _ The black flag has been at last raised openly iu the lower Valley, where Mosby ranges. War t the knife has been declared against him by Auger and Sheridan, and he gives them as gook as they send. You will hear ere long of men being flayed alive and burnt at the stake, or I am much mis taken. Deserter Shot. —Henry Howell 4th Alabama regiment-was on yesterday shot in presence of I teld’s division for desertion. He deserted hi regiment, and was, about a month ago, captured in the Yankee ranks in Yankee Uniform.
