[Special Correspondence of the Daily Times.]
MjLLfiBGEviLtE, Nov. 6. 1864.
A careful reading of the Governor’s message
to the present session of the General Assem
bly discloses a sealed policy on the part of the
Executive of hostility to the President and the
Confederate Government which should meet
with a merited rebuke from the representa
tives of the people of Georgia.
| It sets out with a review Os the military
j operations during the past year, and arraigns
j- President Davis before the bar of public opin
| ion and history for “abandoning Georgia to
| her fate,” when he had under his control a
j large body of troops beyond the Mississippi
river of ns gallant men “as ever faced an ene
my, which had been allowed to remain in a
state of inactivity since our splendid victories
in Louisiana last spring had driven the ene
my, except a few garrisons, from that Depart-,
ment,” and sending Gen. Early to the Valley
of the Shenandoah and even into Maryland
and Pennsylvania, and retaining Gen. Forrest
in North Mississippi, when he could have con
centrated a sufficient number of them in the
vicinity of Dalton and others to operate in
Sherman’s rear as would have insured, with
out doubt, the rout, if not the capture, of his
army, and have given to the Army of Tennes
see the long promised “green fields” of Ken
tucky.
Not content with impeaching the want of
foresight in the President in his,military cam
paigns, the Governor also endeavors to make
out a clear case against him in disregarding
the policy and wisdom of the celebrated Ste
phens resolutions adopted by this Legislature,
at their late session, upon the subject of
peace, and suggests a novel and wonderful
plan of adjustment of the difference between
the United States and. Confederate States
Governments, by the intervention of the sov
ereign States composing each Government,
A pertinent enquiry is here suggested : How
is this to be accomplished? Why, by the
Southern States withdrawing from the Con
federate Government the power delegated to
the latter of levying war andconcluding peace,
and assuming all the rights and powers which
they delegated in the compact of confedera
tion. Have we any assurance that such an
effort to put an end to the struggle would
meet with a like response from the Northern
Government, or the States separately, which
compose it? Mr. Lincoln says we can have
peace by throwing down our arms and re
turning to our allegiance to this Government.
The sentiment of the people of that section,
so far as developed by the recent elections,
seem to sustain him in bis manifesto of, “to
whom it may concern,” addressed to Messrs.
Olay, Holcombe, and others.
The message also, charges the President
with great obstinacy and dereliction of duty
in refusing to allow vessels chartered by the
State for blockade running to secure clothing
for Georgia troops, to clear unless a consid
erable advantage should be granted to the
Confederate Government, although, the Gov
ernor says, the act of Congress regulating for
eign commerce, clearly gave the States the
right to carry out cotton or other staples and
import necessary supplies-on their own ac
count. These constitute mainly the charges
in the indictment preferred by his Excellency
against the Confederate Executive, and reveal
but another phase of the settled policy of the
Governor to impeach the integrity and assail
the motives of the President in the faithful
discharge of the duties which this gigantic
and unholy - war has thrown upon his shoul
ders. The Governor also asks immense ap
propriations to carry on the Government for
the coming year, and recommends the policy of
paying as we go. The amount asked for
reaches over $20,000,000, and how this amount
is to be raised by taxation from the people
who are already groaning under heavy bur
dens, I am not able to comprehend, but the
well known resources of the Executive aud
his tender regard for the dear people may
solve the difficulty in a special message to be
transmitted to each branch, when the bill for
raising revenue shall come up for final ac
tion.
You have doubtless read the message, ere
this, carefully, and have given his great plan
of peace due reflection and readily discover
the hideous monster of reconstruction which
when unveiled and disrobed of its inviting
dress, it presents to view. His prejudice and
hostility against the authorities at Richmond
have blinded his eyes and clouded his judg
ment, and he is now offering to bis country
men the Grecian horse which will prove the
overthrow and. destruction ot their govern
ment and the total loss of their liberties.
, TROUP.
Gen. Hood at Columbia,—lt was currently re
ported in the city yesterday, says the Telegraph and
Confederate of the 7th, that General Hood had cap
tured Franklin and Columbia. - The news was from
a Captain of his army who had just returned from
North Alabama. No other particulars were receiv
ed. Columbia is 35 miles from Nashville.
From Atlanta.—Everything, says the Telegraph
and Confederate of the 7th, appears so be quiet about
Atlanta. Three prisoners were captured by our
scouts the other day near the city. The prisoners
report that the garrison has been largely reinforced
recently, and that trains are coming through from
; Chattanooga.
Good Suggestion.—The New York Herald says
! the Convention candidates for President are both
failures, and urges that the electoral colleges throw
j both Lincoln and McCleilan overboard and select
! for President and Vice President "the two best men
i in the country.”
. —- ♦ ♦ ♦
Appointment of Postmaster.—B. F. Hall, Esq.,
the well known and popular Clerk of the Superior
and Inferior Courts of Richmond county, has been
appointed Postmaster at Augusta, vice James M.
| Smythe, Esq., removed,
I .. Characteristic.— The Yankees have a work in
| front of Petersburg which they call "Fort Hell.”
! Perhaps the idea originatedHn our making it robot
a place. ’
From Virginia. —A few days since, one of
our batteries near Petersburg was tempora
lly captured by a gang of Yankees, about ope
hundred in number, who came into our lines
ostensibly as deseiters without visible arms.
As soon, however, as they were m close pis
tol range of the battery, they unbuttoned
jackets, and with cocked five-shooters de
manded a surrender. A Confederate infantry
force, near by, coming up, the Yankees pru
dently skedaddled, with what loss we do not
learn.
J. N. Harrold has resigned his position as
clerk of the financial burehu of the Post Office
Department, and Prof. Bimetry. formerly min
ister of the United States in .Central America,
of Louisiana, has been appointed.
We learn from one of*our correspondents
(says the Southern Confederacy) that the
“ Convalescent Camp ” for Gen*. Wheeler’s
broken down horses has been changed from
Southwesten Georgia to Southern Alabama,
in the vicinity of Greenwood, where forage,
provisions, and chills and fever are abundant.
The Official Vote of North Carolina.—
The official vote for Governor of North Caro
lina this year, compared with that given in
1862, when Governor Vance led Colonel John
ston 83.975, is publshecL This year he beats
Holden 43,579, showing an increase on Gov
ernor Vance’s former majority of 9,604 !
Canada.— A dispatch from Quebec, of the 26th tilt,
says: The Conference is proceeding satisfactorily.
The financial questions have been settled, The
Conference will adjourn this'week. All of its ar
rangements will be embodied in a bill to be submit
ted to the different local legislatures.
The Federal Government continues its official re
lations with the old Government of Mexico, and
Lincoln has recently recognized Jose Satera Prieto
as consul of that Republic at the port of San Fran
cisco.
The New York Herald derisively heads an ac
count of the propositions for peace in the Alabama
Legislature, with ‘‘Another 4Vail for Peace,” in
large capitals. Let no man put Georgia in the same
predicament.
The News.
The heavy firing heard in the direction of Peters
burg, on Wednesday, proceeded mainly from the
enemy’s batteries opposite our left centre, before
that city. A brisk shelling was kept up for several
hours. During the past few nights, says the “Ex
press,” bodies of the enemy’s troops have been
crossed from the North to the South side of the
James. Such manoeuvres, however, are constantly
going on. The Richmond front was undisturbed ;
on yesterday. All quitt in the Valley. The only :
additional news regarding the affair at Plymouth |
accounts for the absence of the ram Albemarle.— i
She was blown up at her wharf, but whether by her j
own men or the enemy does not appear. A North i
Carolina paper—the Confederate—intimates that a
crew of Yankees rowed up the river under cover of
darkness, and blew her up with a torpedo, thus ren
dering the attack upon the town a safe and easy
matter. But where were our videttes? We have
nothing from the mystic land of Hood. But we
have sufficient from Missouri to say Price has suffer
ed no such defeat as the Northern papers represent,
and is in not the slightest danger of being used up
in the strife accredited to the valor of Pleasanton
and his six thousand braves.
{Richmond Examiner, 4th.
Yankee Loss at Cedar Creek.— The following
is the Yankee admission of loss at the battle of
Cedar Creek, in the Valley, on the 19th October.—
Instead of 606 prisoners in this statement, we know
that over 1400 have been received at Richmond, so
that with this alteration their loss runs up to nearly
5,000. Early’s loss was 1050:
Army of West Virginia—Killed, 60; wounded,
350; prisoners, 400. Total. 810. Nineteenth Corps-
Killed, 400; wounded, 1200; prisoners, 100 Total,
1700. Sixth corps—Killed, 300; wounded, 1000;
missing, 50. Total, 1350. Colonel Kitching’s divi
eion—Killed,2o; wounded, 150; missing, 56. Total,

A young lady in Muscatine, lowa, has exercised
the leap year privilege with perfect success. Her
William hung down his head and blushed, but said
he was willing, and would have popped the ques
tion himself if he had spunk enough. Ladies, with
bathful beaux, go and do likewise.
Why do so our own papers fall into
the Yankee custom of alluding to the Talla
hassee and her consort or consorts, if she has
such, as “privateera?” The Tallahassee is a
regular armed vessel of the Confederate States*
under regular commissioned officers of the
Confederate States Navy—is manned by sail
ors and marines of the same service—sailed
from a Confederate port, where she was armed
and fitted out, and acts under orders from the
Secretary of the Navy of the Confederate
Stales. She is jflst as much a part of the Na
val service of the Confederate States as Gen.
Lee’s army is of the military service.

The Bath Paper Mill. —lt will be a source
of gratification to the newspaper press to learn
that this establishment will be at w'ork during
the early part of December. We have just
returned from a visit to the mill, where,
through the politeness of its energetic and
gentlemanly agent, W. K. Huss, Esq., we were
shown through its various departments. The
work done on this immense mill, though a
longtime under way, is highly creditable to
Mr. H., under whose superintendence it has
been accomplished—when we take into con*
sideration the difficulties he had to contend i
against. Nearly all the castings had to be
done in Augusta, the Government in the
meantime monopolizing most of the time of
the foundries. The lumber, timber, &c., had
to be brought from mills at a distance, and
only at such time as did not interfere with
Government contracts. Machinists, carpen
ters, laborers, &c., owing to the military ser
vice, were, time and again, almost discourag
ing to his efforts to obtain. Determined that
he should succeed, Mr. Huss used the strenu
ous efforts of his untiring nature, and now we
are pleased to see that he is about to be
crowned with success in the reconstruction of
this invaluable enterprise. The mill will be !
much larger and of greater power than pre
vious to its destruction by fire. In fact it uUll
be the largest, most complete and substantial
establishment of its kind in the Confederacy.
The castings, principally the work of Messrs. !
Luffboro & Timmons, of Augusta, cannot be
surpassed on this continent.

Lost.—Two Generals with their armies. These
Generals, respectively named Hood and Sherman,
the first a Confederate, commanding the “Army
of Tennessee,” and the second a Federal, com
manding the “Army of the Cumberland,” were
last seen somewhere in Northern Georgia. Gen.
Hood has lost a leg, and General Sherman is with
out a heart. Glen. Hood was last seen in compa -
uy with a military looking man named Beaure- ;
gard and sundry other white me* dressed in grey, j
Sherman consorted with one Thomas, a white ;
man with dark principles, and also with sundry
“American citizens of African descent,” vulgarly j
called niggers, who may perhaps be traced by “de* ]
scent."
Their friends are very anxious about these mis
sing parties. Any information in reference to
their present whereabouts will no donbt be thank
fully received by “enquiring friends,” among
whom may be classed army correspondents, tele

. Latest from the United States.
We have New York, Philadelphia and Balti
more papers of November Ist. They have
very little fresh intelligence from any quarter.
We take the- following from the ‘‘Herald’s”
summary:*
FROM GRANT’S ARMV.
The casualties in the Army of the Potomac
foot up about 1,500. The loss of the rebels i3
thought to have been greater. Over 800 of
them and four of their battle flags were cap
tured by the men of the 2d, sth and 6th corps.
An attempt was made by the rebels on last
Saturday morning to drive in the pickets in
front of a portion of the 20th corps. The
skirmish which ensued, though of short dura
tion, was very sharp. The rebels were soon
driven back, with a Union loss of only five
soldiers wounded.
shersian’s department.
Not only* is there no foundation for the ab
surd report recently set afloat that General
Sherman had abandoned Atlanta, but the
place is not considered in, any danger what
ever. General Sherman has assured the gov
ernment that he will hold it in spite of all
attempts to dislodge him. The rebels are ac
tive along the Tennessee river. A portion* of
Forrest’s command, with'three pieces of artil
lery, is reported to have sunk a steamer and a
barge, loaded with army clothing, on that
river, on last Saturday. A small force of them
were attacked by Union cavalry on the same
day and driven across the river. • Forrest is
said to have several thousand men at Jackson,
Tennessee.
We have no advices yet of the rebels having
carried -out their design of attacking Paducah,
Ky. Various bodies of them, though, are
prowling through different portions of the
State
THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY.
The attention of Gen. Sheridan seems to be
at present particularly to apparent
designs of the enemy to attempt some impor
tant operations in West Virginia, and he is
making his preparations accordingly. The
rebel General Breckinridge, who is now in
Southwestern Virginia, is repotted to be busy
in reorganizing his forces, with the supposed
intention of making a movement to distract
the attention of the Union army from Early,
who, according to rebel newspapers, is to re
main in command in the Shenandoah valley.
Arrangements for the safe supply of General
Sheridan’s army have been perfected, and
such guard’s for trains going to the front will
hereafter be provided as will insure them
against guerrilla attacks.
MISSOURI.
General Pleasamon’s official dispatches con
firm previous reports of the captlire of the reb
el Generals Mgrmaduke and Cabell. Oar St.
Louis dispatches show that the accounts here
tofore received of the overwhelming defeat
and hurried and disorganized retreat from
Missouri of the remnant of Price’s array have
not been exaggerated. Included in the large
number of his men captured by the Union
troo'ps are about one hundred commissioned
officers.
[The above seeming epitome of Missouri
news is not sustained by details—there are
no details and not the sign of “official dis
patches from Gen. Pleasanton” to be found
anywhere in the Herald or any other of the
Northern papers of Wednesday before us.—
The statement was evidently made up to be
copied.]
POLITICS IN NEW YORK.
The Democracy i3 making as much sensa
tion as possible in New York.
A large and enthusiastic meeting of mer
chants and down town business men, favor*
ing the election of the Presidency of Gen.
McClellan, was held yesterday afternoon, at
the corner of Wall and Broad streets, at which
speeches were made by Mr. James Gallatin,
of this city; Mr, Tindall, of Tennessee ; Hon.
Reverdy Johnson, of Maryland; General J. H.
Hobart Ward, and other distinguished gentle
men. There was but one feeling manifested
—a thorough resolve to vote the Democratic
ticket on the Bth of November next. The
cheers for Little Mac were continuous and en
thusiastic.
GOLD.
Notwithstanding the great “rout” of Price,
the “safety of Sherman and Atlanta,” and the
“brilliancy” of Grant’s reconnoissances, the
barometer of Northern sentiment tells the
state of the public feeling on the war :
The stock market was bouyant yesterday,
and a general advance of prices took place.—
The gold market was excited and quotations
tended higher. The opening price was 223
and the closing one 229£, the extreme price of
the day. Government securities were strong
at a fractional advance.
SEMMES CHASED BY YANKEE MAN-OF-WAR.
The London “Daily News” says :
The Laurel, which left Liverpool on the
9tb, with Capt. Semmes and a number of Con
federate officers and seamen* on board, will,
it is expected, put into Maderia.
A Union man-of-war went immediately in
pursuit of her, for the purpose of apprehend
ing Capt. Semmes, who ba3 been pronounced
by the judicial authorities of the United States
a prisoner of war.
New York Congressmen.
H. G. Stebbins, member of the House of Repre
sentatives from the First Congressional District,
has tendered his resignation for the following
significant reason stated in his letter to his con
stituents 4
My labors as your representative, during the
first session of the Thirty-eighth Congress, were
given to the support of the Government. Through
out the session I favored a vigorous prosecution
of the war, until the authority of the Government
should be re-established over every part of the
United States. I favored and supported the meas
ures introduced by these who were empowered to
conduct the Government up to March 4th, 1865,
and who were acting in obedience to their official
oaths “to discharge their duties to the best of
their abilities.” Throughout the session I was
opposed to the taking of any steps to a peace cal
culated to weaken the national authority, or' that
required negotiations with men in rebellion who
had not laid down their arms.
Were Ito Temain in Congress daring the ses
sion to commence in December next, I should per
sistently adhere to these same principles and to
this same action.
lam now convinced, though with much re
gret, and have now to acknowledge my conviction
that in all these respects my conduct is, and Would
continue to be, disapproved by a large majority of
those who elected me.
Ben Wood, another. representativo from that
State, having been re-nominated, declines again
to be a candidate, saying:
The compliment you extend to' me in this Ren
der of renomination; is enhanced by the circum
stance that its acceptance wottid insure my re
election. It gives me to understand moreover, i
that my constituents approve of my political course
and adopt the opinions as a journalist and as a j
member of Congress. Tcere is no possibility of j
misconception in regard to those opinions My ;
record is before the world, traced in characters J
that all can read and understand. It embraces,
hostility, under ail circumstances, to the doctrine ,
of an armed coercion of the States, and it attests j
that I have never voted a dollar or a mau to as- j
sistin the prosecution of this unholy war

Flag. of Truce.—The flag of truce boats,
again communicated yesterday, at Veflus’
Point, in the lower part of thei river, andJ re»
mained at anchor near each other for some
three hours. They were not allowed to come
alongside. J>ut’nr&W'iniMte& aifd then only for
the interchange of freight; h«a«& the only
communication allowed to Drivate-Jiarlies .pa
board was from deck to deck. was 4
decided improvement on the general inwrlaiag
ling that has heretofore been allowed.
In consequence of the non-arrival Os our
prisoners at Hilton Head, who were Expected,
having left Fortress Monroe on Thursday last,
the officers of the truce transacted no business
of public importance. Another flag will go
down Thursday next, by which* time it is
hoped everything will be ready sos an ex
change.
We have no additional news by this arrival,
the papers brought up being of no later date
than the 29th ult. The officers on board the
Yankee boat express entire confidence in the
re-election of Lincoln, and they seem in no
wise discouraged by the present aspects of the
war, a? they understand them.— Savannah Re

B*ginstnq to Get Afraid. —ln an article,
of the nature of those which always appear
on the eve of great elections, urging upon eve
ry man in the township and the. ward not to
fail to cast his vote, the New York Tribune ex
hibits great apprehension as to the action of
the McClellanites. Its fears seem to have
some fou'ndation, moreover, founded as they
are upon a bet of the leader of the “shent pet
shent” gentry. Says the Tribune:. .
Men like Belmont don’t bet, as he is said to
have been betting on McClellan for three weeks
past, without being in possession of informa
tion which gives them assurance of winning.
Until the sacrilegious and treasonable fraud on
which McClellan managers have reposed their
hopes is fully developed, the Unionists through
out New York must double their guards.
Without the loss of another day, the duty, of
canvassing tlxe towns and wards must be per
formed.

Old Jack and his Foot Cavalrt. —The abovo
is the title of a book just published in New York >
and advertised in display type in the columns of
the World. The advertisement says :
Who is old Jack, and what is meant by Foot
Cavalry ? the public will naturally inquire. The
first was the pet term applied to that remarkable
man, Stonewall Jackson, by his brave soldiers,
and the last was the name given by the Southern
army to the far-famed Stonewall Brigade, in con
sequence* es the fleetness of its movements, and
the rapidity of its marches—often traveling in a
day as great a distance as well mounted troopers.
The book tells of the most stirring scenes of the
war; of the unwearied exertion and dashing
bravery of these extraordinary soldiers, and of
the exalted courage and indomitable energy of
Stonewall, who gained f&r himself a name that
has been wafted on the wibgs of fame to every
quarter of the world. It is just such a volume as
boys revpl in ; is full of anecdote and incident;
and is, besides, very instructive, as it impresses
upon the memory the history of the most exciting
battles of the rebellion.
Mr. John Bradburn, publisher, who inserts the
above in the World, has, evidently, not the fear
of Abe Lincoln or Major General Dix before him.
“Abe’s” Financiering. —Lincoln, has been
given, by his circle of friends and admirers, the
appellation of “Honest Old Abe,” but the fol
lowing, from a Northern paper, shows that it is
a misnomer:
The extraordinary appropriations made by the
present and the preceding Congress for furnishing
the Executive mansion have attracted much pub
lic attention. This fund for refitting the Presi
dent’s house is disbursed, more than any other
appropriation, under the eye of the Executive,
and he is always held responsible for the honesty
of the expenditure. Well, it so happened in the
early part of Mr. Lincoln’s administration that a
bill was presented at Washington for payment by
Messrs. E. N. Haughwont & Cos., of New York,
for a china dinner service by order of Mr, Lincoln
for the Executive mansion*.
The amount of the bill as rendered was some
twenty-three hundred dollars. The clerk who
had to pass over the bill, delayed it because of
the very unheard of price charged for an American
service of china. At length a dealer from Phila
delphia was sent for to estimate its value, and the
appraiser returned eight hundred dollars as its
full value, instead of twenty three hundred. The
case, at last, came again before the President, and
the representative of Messrs. Haughwont <fc Cos.,
was called in and confronted with the Philadelphia
valuation. He promptly answered in substance :
“Why, Mr. President, my firm never pretended
that the China was really worth more than eight
hundred dollars. We had reason'to suppose you
knew that. The difference between the price of
the China and the amount of the bill is for articles
ordered for your private family use, but invoiced
as china for the White House.’’ “Honest” Abe
was cornered and caught. Like another very un
fortunate man, dishonest in another scandalous
transaction in which he was caugkt, he had not a
word to say. Mr. Lincoln at last paid the differ
ence out of his own. pocket, and Messrs. Haugh
wout <ft Cos. got their money.
General Joseph E, Johnston.— The Richmond
Enquirer closes an editorial on the recent disaster?
in the Valley of Virginia—which the editor attri
butes to the lack of confidence in Gen. Early on the
part of the army—with the following paragraph:
The past cannot be mended—the captured artille
ry are now parading the streets of some Yankee
city as the trophies at some Republican mass meet
ing. But the future should be provided sos, and
some commander sent to the army who can gain it?
confidence and restore its morals. While General
Joseph E. Johnston is reposing at Macon, without a
command, the Valley is being plundered and de
vastated cy the enemy. The people of Virginia
have lost no confidence in General Johnston. By
them he is still regarded as a brave soldier and a
son of whom the State is proud. We believe that
his patriotism is of that noble and lofty character
that will render service to the c.vuse wherever he
may be ordered. To see him once more in com
mand in his native State would be gratifying to the
people of Virginia, who. feel deeply his removal
from command in Georgia, An opportunity is now
presented, which we hope will be quickly ernbra :e 1
by the President, to restore General Johnston to
command. His presence in the Valley would res
tore confidence and morale, and assure the enemy
that their victories were not the end of the cam
paign on our part. The reappointment of Johnston
would silence the voice of faction and restore unuy
and harmony to the country.
The other day as General Lee was ridink alon*
one of the streets of Petersburg, he heard a big row
in a house where some soldierg were drunk and en
gaged in a “free fight.” Dismounting, the General
rushed into the house, but the men, seeing him, all
made their escape except a burly Irishman, waom
several of them had been beating. Pat, seeing
escape impossible, put on a bold face and exclaimed,
“Faith, and I am delighted to see you General, for
these men had doubled teams on me, and but for
the eomingof your Riverance I would have got a
bating,” The General was so taken back by the
impudence of the fellow that he merely ordered
him back to his quarters instead of the guard house
