So it seems to out siders. Even the Yankees admit that Lee’s army is fully up to its original strength, and Grant's ha3 been depleted vastly—some of their journals saying to an extent that renders recuperation to its ability six months ago an impossibility.

The Front, ' Montgomery Mail Office, ) Tuesday, Nov. 9, 1864. J Parties just from the fiont report that our army was at Tuscumbia on Sunday week last. Two divisions had crossed the river, when our informant left and the rest were to follow, was the general impression. It is reasonable to suppose that the main force must be north of the Tennessee by this. The country around Tuscumbia is represented to be pretty well divested of forage by the recent occupation of the Federals. It is believed the supplies for the army are brought chiefly by the Memphis and Charleston road, via Corinth. We have nothing later from Atlanta or fur ther details of Forrest’s late successful opera tions on the Tennessee. ♦ ♦ ♦— From the Front.— We have been favored with the following items of a private letter of Nov. 3J, giving intelligence obtained from a field officer just in from Beauregard’s depart ment. Hood’s armj is at Columbia, Tenn., with Sherman’s force ninety-eight miles in his rear, and greatly demoralized. Gen. Forrest is at Paducah, Kentucky, des-. troyiug Yankee property by the wholesale.— While Gen. Walker of Magruder’s army, is en route to join Hood at. Columbia or Nashville, Tenn., Gen. Beauregard declares he will win ter his army in Tennessee.. Corinth is our point of concentration to which place all the hospitals have been or dered to go immediately from Macon. Gen ' Pr ’ce has whipped the Yankees at Kansas City. He will be reinforced 'by Ma gruder’s command and winter in Missouri. [Chronicle Sentinel. Tlie Tennessee Valley. Reliable information from the army of Ten nessee, is meager as to the details of its move ments after leaving Gadsden, but there is no doubt of its having reached the new base of supplies provided in safety, and that the com munications to the rear, from headquarters, are so direct that no further deficiencies in any department need be apprehended. A railroad communication that cannot easily be interrup ted, to Tuscumbia, is now under control of Gen. Hood ,• and he is in position to advance into Middle or West Tennessee, as he may decide the most promising* of success. For rest is co-operating successfully in a quarter that will greatly distract the enemy, and ren der any concentration against our main forces almost an impossibility ; and taken altogether we have every reason to anticipate the most gratifying results from what has been and may be accomplished. * Os the hardships endured by our troops on the march from Gadsden, we have several re ports, and all concur in the statement that they were borne with the greatest fortitude and cheerfulness. The rumor of the capture of Decatur was a canard. Our latest intelligence, which may be relied upon, is that no assault was made upon the works of the enemy. The Federal report states that Gen. Hood was repulsed twice. The truth is that he was aware of the strength of the position and its garrison, and made no general attack ; but, while his army, trains, etc., was passing westward, within striking distance had the enemy been unoccu pied, demonstrations were made upon the picket lines of the enemy, which were twice driven in. The casualties on either side amounted to nothing. The amount of the whole affair was the enemy were amused with in their entrenchments, while our army was safely moved by them, and “nobody hurt.” Out of this Stanton, however, bulletined a great victory to Dix. —Memphis Appeal , Sth. How they' Dread Forrest.— A Yankee officer was asked by a lady of Oxford, Miss-, why General Grierson, with his largely superior numbers of cav alr-. 1 1 not attack General Forrest. He said: — “Madam, our entire force of seven thousand cavalry would n t fight one of Forrest’s brigades unless our infantry was there to support them. No one of our brigades would fight one of his regiments, no regi meut a company, and no company would charge a pair of Forrest’s old boots if they were laying on the road.” Army Correspondence Sarannah Republican. Richmond. Nov. 4th, 1864. Our armies seem to be resting upon their arms everywhere except on the Tennessee riv er and in Missouri. Combats between small bodies of men at distant and isolated points and along the skirmish line, may take place from day to day: but beyond these unimpor tant conflicts, which are as often accidental as otherwise, nothing has occurred iu this part of the Confederacy since Grant’s disastrous defeat ou the 27th ult. It is expected, here that Hood's campagn will extend through the winter, unless—which is possible, though not probable Sherman should sooner withdraw his troops from At lanta. But the latter will not relax his hold upon that important point as long as it is possible for him to maintain it. He has supplies at Chattanooga, at Resaca, and Alla toona, and he will strive hard to keep open the railroad and run these supplies down to At lanta, from time to time, as opportunity may occur. Even if the railway should not then be cut by our cavalry, still these accumula tions of supplies at well-defended points along the route may enable him to subsist the garri son at Atlanta as well as the garrisons in trenched at other points from thence to Chat tanooga, for some time to come, and' possibly until next spring. If it took Sherman all the summer to get possession of Atlanta, we may well be satisfied if it takes only the YY’iater for Hood to win it back, especially as he has no railway in his rear by which to bring supplies to his troops and has the most unfavorable season in the year in which to carry on a cam paign. It is evidently* not his policy to give battle to Sherman, except under the most ad vantageous circumstances; he has no ammu nition to throw away, and but few hospital supplies; and whether successful or unsuc cessful, it Yvould be exceedingly difficult in that mountainous region, amidst a poor popu lation and far removed from his base, and still further from his hospitals, to take care of his wounded and sick. We must be patient, there fore,* and not grow restless and despondent if this bold movement of Hood'3 do not bear im mediate fruit. Ihe Congress which i3 to assemble here next week, will be charged with the gravest and most responsible duties touching the re organization and increase of the army. It is understood that Mr. Miles, the energetic and enlightened Chairman of tbe Committee on Military Affairs in the House of Representa tives, has already addressed a letter to Gen. Lee, soliciting his opinion as to the most ad visable means to be adopted to increase and re-organize the array and improve the discip line of the troops. I understand also that Gen. Lee's reply is about ready for delivery. It is not known what plan he will recommend for the better disciplining of the troops and the re-organization of the army ; but it is not improbable that Congress will find it necessa ry, owing to the reduced numbers of the va rious commands 'into which the army i3 di vided, to consolidate not only companies and regiments, but even brigades and divisions.— In regard to the reinforcement of the army, it is reported, and very generally that Gen. Lee is in favor of enlisting a suffi} cient number of negroes to. enable us to meet whatever force the enemy may bring against us next year. If the enemy do • not increase his force, then it will not be necessary tor us to increase odrs, by the enlistment either of white men or black men. But if he do come against us next spring with armies like those with which he assailed us last spring, tben it is believed that it will become necessary to send every white man in the Confederacy un der sixty years of age to the field, or enlist one or two hundred thousand negroes, or abandon tbe contest and bow our necks to the yoke of our northern masters. Already the report that our Government would fall back upon the negro population has had the effect, with other causes, to send gold up at the North from twelve to fifteen per cent, higher than it has been recently.— It is believed too, that the abstraction from agricultural operations of one hundred thou sand slaves would not curtail the annual pro duction of supplies as much as the abstrac tion of the remaining white male population between the ages of sixteen and sixty. There has, however, never been any scarcity of food, except in particular localities visited by drought; the chief source of trouble has been the lack of the means of transportation. I am informed that Gens. Longstreet, Ewell and many other distinguished officers in the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of the Valley concur with Gen. Lee in the matter. Such, too, is said to be the prevailing senti ment among officers of lower grades, as well as among the rank and file of these two armies. The negroes, if conscribed, will never be placed on an equality with white Southern troops, and the men thus far have manifested no objection on that score. They will be or ganized, doubtless, in separate commands, and placed under our best white officers; and in this way, officers who might be displaced by the consolidation of existing regiments and brigades, would be retained in service. But whatever decision the country and the Government may come to, it behooves us to discuss this great delicate question with per fect freedom fromprejudice and passion. Hap pily, such is the spirit with which it has been treated thus far by thd press. We are all em barked upon the same bottom, and must sink or swim together. In this spirit, I would re mark that, with a single exception among leading men, the persons I have met who op pose the measure are generally quiet men— men who are retiring in their nature and hab its, who stay a good deal in their closets and have particular theories, and who have not been much in the rush and whirl of this Seat revolution. The men who favor it, on e contrary, are, for the most part, men of ac tion, who have been actively engaged in our mighty struggle, who have rubbed against the army and the enemy, and who have felt much as well a3 thought much. Both classes are equal'y candid and equally patriotic. Your readers will be rejoiced to hear that Major G. M. Sorrel, for three years the effi cient Assistant Adjutant General of Long street s division and corps, has been made a Brigadier General for meritorious service in the field, and appointed to the command of Wright’j3 (Georgia) brigade. At the begin ning of the war, Gen. Sorrel was a quiet somewhat taciturn teller in the Central Rail road Bank in Savannah. From that position, and without previous military education, he passed into the army, and there, with a single brief furlough, he has remained ever since, performing his ardous duties cheerfully, effi ciently and courageously. His skillful man agement of three brigades in the great battle of the Wilderness alone, to say nothing of his readiuess and gajlantry upon other bloody fields, entitled him to the promotion now re ceived. If life and the war last, Georgia will find further cause to be proud of her voung brigadier, the bosom friend of tbe gifted Willis' and the companion in arms of Cobb, Semmes, Doles, Girardy, Douglas and other heroes who now sleep beneath the clod. P. W. A. Drstbcctive Fire in Charleston.—We learn from a gentleman who arrived last even ing from Charleston, that a fire broke cut in the Confederate Arsenal, in that city, at three o’clock yesterday morning and did great dam /FIVE DOLLARS 1 PER MOXTH. age before it could be subdued. The large building containing the repairing shops, five in number, to-wit : the tin shop, saddlery, armory, blacksmith's and shop for tbe manu* facture-of friction primers, were all destroyed, with most of their contents. Tbe loss in val uable machinery and tools was quite heavy, aad cannot well be repaired. A large stock of leather, small arms and cannon were all destroyed. - The fire originated in some lightwood in the engine room, and was doubtless the result of carelessness.— Savannah Republican. From the Petersburg Express. The Final Blow Upon Maryland. v The Lincoln Satrap of Maryland who goes under the name and title of “ Governor Brad ford, ’ has issued his Proclamation, announcing the adoption of the new anti-slavery constitu tion by the people of that State, and declaring that it would go into operation on the Ist day of this month, on which day, the old one of course, ceased to have any force. This s*>- called Governor, who was elected by pretty much the same kind of process that determin ed the result of the late constitutional election —who is a mere creature of Lincoln’s, an abo litionist, and thoroughly indoctrinated in all the iniquities of the "Higher Law” school— tells the people of .Maryland, who now, all of them, stand in the same relationship with the Washington Usurper that their negro slaves | did with themselves before this crowning I outrage was perpetrated upon them—that ! “upon actually casting up the vote returned I (to him) for and against such constitution, in | eluding the soldiers vote aforesaid, it doth ap ! pear that there were 30,174 ballots, for the | constitution and 29,799 against the constitu j tion, and there being, therefore, of the aggre -1 gate vote so cast, a majority in favor of the ! adoption of the said constitution, <fcc.” j From this official statement it appears that : the majority, in a total vote of 59,978, was but 375! How this miserable, contemptible majority, by which 80,000 black slaves were made freemen, and upwards of half a million ! of free whites made slaves, was obtained, is ! easily explained, and the wonder is that, with j the vile means and appliances that were resort ! ed to by the infamous managers, of whom ! Satrap Bradford was chief, it was not a hun ! dred times greater. It had been decided upon ! in Washington long before that Maryland should be converted into what is known at the North as a Free State. It was known very well to Lincoln and this tool of his, that such a conversion was of impossible accomplish ment per fas, and it was, therefore, determined between them that it should be effected per nefas , which is the prevalent and favorite method with the W ashing ton tyranny of com passing its purposes. Accordingly the inde pendence of the ballot was virtually extin guished by a system of terrorism, oath taking I and other lawless practices, by which nearly | half the suffrage of the State was suppressed j —honest and conscientious.citizens preferring to remain at home on the day of the election to being subjected to the annoyances, vexa tions and humiliations that they knew they would have to encounter if they attempted to cast their votes against a constitution which, iu their hearts, they abhorred. Out of an ag gregate legal vote of not less than 90,000. which could and would have been given but for the reason above stated, we have it upon the authority of the Satrap’s own official an nunciation, that only 59,073 ballots were cast upon a question calculated above all other questions to bring out the zvhole vote of a people—for what question can affect them, as citizens, more powerfully than that of a change in their organic law; and a change, too, in the present case, of a nature the most extra ordinary that had ever before been known in the history of their commonwealth ? On the day of this vote upon the constitution there were at least 90,000 good and lawful voters in Maryland,' one-third of •whom declined voting! Yes, we may safely say three-fourths, for we have not the shadow of a doubt that the vote for the constitution, embracing that given at home and by the soldiers, included tens of thousands of fraudulent ones. If the veil could be lilted, and the hidden secrets of this foul conspiracy between Bradford and his min ions on the one side and Lincoln on the other, to enslave a free people, it would be found that more than half the majority vote was spurious—more especially that portion of it called the army vote. But the deed is done. What signifies charg ing fraud, force, bribery, terrorism, or any oth er of the iniquitous agencies which may have been resorted to, notv upon the guilty wretches who have thus hurled a noble commonwealth into the dust ? Maryland is no longer the Maryland that she was before Lincolnism in fused itself, like a deadly poison, through her borders. She is now but the footstool of one of the most ruthless and vulgar despots that, in an evil hour for his country and for the world, was ever elevated to power. The London Press on Lincoln’s Election. — The Times," commenting on the state of parties in the United State-', says “peace has some friends, but no party which cannot be swept away by the report of a single victory.” It adds; On the 4th of March next, Mr. Lincoln will quit the President’s chair to renew his oath of office and resume his seat. Any statesman comparing what the North has gained since March, 1800, with the price paid for it in life and money, would be appall ed by the results of the calculation. To the party politicians of America they appear trifles, and the future is regarded with exactly the same compla cence as when they had not written the first leaf of the tragic volume the history of the wa' has now swelled into. For ourselves, we look on the pros pect of four years more of such civil contest at once horrible and wearying, Never ending, still beginning; Fighting still, and still destroying, as the most melancholy and depressing the whole world presents, and the greatest reproach to man kind. The London Telegraph, on the same subject, says : Whether the North elect Lincoln or McClellan— and certainly, for the time being, the chances are much in favor of the former—it i3 tolerably clear that the new President will find in the South none of that_ “exhaustion” which has been perpetually prophesied and never proved. The prospects of the Confederacy have, indeed, been often brighter, but they have also more than once been darker than now. Even the first part of the long Northern pro gramme is a? yet unfulfilled, The recent successes have been singularly barren of practical results; the collapse that follows an excessive effort is be ginning to be visible, andhence New York, despite all the re-ussuring bulletins of Mr. Secretary Stan ton, is so far from feeling confidence in the Execu tive, that gold, which nojt long ago seemed steadily falling, has again risen To therignificant quotation of 199, Fortitcde—Patriotism. —The States of Vir ginia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Mis souri, have been the theatres of war, in ail its de vastment of property, desolation aud untold suf fering. And to-day, these States are more de voted to independence, and more exalted in their patriotism thin they were before the invader set foot upon the soil or their people were involved in those dire calamities brought upon them by Yan kee ambition and fanaticism. The money stand ard does not measure their estimate of the un bought blessings of constitutional liberty and free dom from the fierce intermeddling of a vulgar tyranny, soulless, treacherous, merciless. Having felt the Ton wheel of the oppressor, they can con jecture the untathomed depth of ruin and degra dation which awaits us as the sole alternative to conquering our independence of our foes. The example of th-*se States should put the timid eve rywhere to shame. Conduct uuder disaster is the criterion of character. A great country like ours, while the unconquerable will exists, may be over run : it cannot be conquered. Most to be appre bended are thnae wbo prate of peac”', "pace, when there is no peace, but through the swuru, except tbe peace of scats.— Charleston Mercury. [From the Richmond Enquirer.] The Peace Sentiment at the North. That there are men at the North utterly aad unequivocally opposed to this war, there can be no doubt. They belong to an intelligent class who have looked with indignation upon the invasion ot the Spates of the South by a power pretending to represent them, and who have had the prescience to feel and know that there is no human force able to enslave a peo ple determined to be free. They have seen the fruitless results of every Federal victory, from the first to this the fourth year of the war; and now, looking upon the toils which encom pass and render harmless for good or evil the ‘‘'conquering Sherman;’ - upon the cripled and inoperative army of “Cavalry Sheridan," and the beaten and baffled mass of brute-driven troops in the trenches before Richmond and Petersburg, they see nothing to induce them to change their opinions upon the war. We have before us a letter written by a prominent merchant in New York city, which affords a fair illustration of the sentiment o f this unfortunately small proportion of the Northern people. To give his name would be but to consign him to the dungeons of Fort Lafayette. How the Lincoln friends would glory in the incarceration, in even the murder, of the honest man who wrote such words ns these: ■■ The blood-thirsty scoundrels who have been for twenty-five years fomenting discord and most intense feelings of hatred between the North and South are now in power, ruling with a rod of iron of the once powerful United Stales, and prosecuting a cruel, wicked and subjugating war against eight millions of unoffending people, to whom they refused any longer to fulfil their consti tutional obligations. Finding the war gotten up by themselves, to perpetuate their political power, had grown to such vast proportions that its cost in government issues could never be paid in coin, they (that is, fully one-third of the present violent war party,) have re solved upon the diabolical plan of continuing the war, if possible, until the whole South is conquered thoroughly. They will then, under the confiscation acts, sell out the whole South, as public lauds are sold, with the proceeds of which they propose to pay the war debt. Southern Union men, in that event, will fare no better, so far as their property is concerned, than the out-and-out Secessionist. “Lincoln*may be, and I think will be, elect ed. But I have strong faith that the good Providence of God will, in His own good time, give success to a brave and noble people. * * “Stand Firm! You are fighting for the rights of the States— all the States, and there are tens of thousands of sympathizing hearts in the North beating in unison with the hearts of their Southern brethren, who feel that in additiou to the rights of States you are fighting for everything that man holds dear in this world. “But these ‘good men and true - in the North can so far aid you only with tlieir best wishes and their earnest prayers to the God of Bat tles, that he will give abundantly of His wis dom to your civil rulers and ‘all others in au thority'—especially to President Davis. Gen erals Lee, Johnston, Beauregard, Hood, Long street aad others, that they may wisely direct the armies and means under their control in defense of their holy cause, and that God will vouchsafe to you complete success. Peace, Heavenly Peace ! Oh, that God would in mercy hasten the dawn of the blessed day, when we can say: “The war is over.” This letter was written early in October to a citizen of Richmond. Habeas Corpus Case.—A writ of Habeas Corpus was sued out on Tuesday last by John Flournoy before Judge W, T. Gould, on the ground that the Relator coaid not be com pelled to go to the front with the Wheeler Dragoons, of which company he was a mem ber. as that company was a local organization and could not be compelled to go beyond the limits of Augusta and its vicinity. Frank H. Miller, Esq., Attorney for the mil itary authorities, replied -that »he Wheeler Dragoons, volunteered to go to the front, vacated their privilege of remaining at home, and that the Relator being a member of that company was Oound by the notion of the company. He also contended that the Relator being.between the “Reserve” ages was liable, in the event of his release from the lo cal company, to be conscripted for service any where in the State. The Relator, after some consultation, with drew his motion for discharge and the writ was dismissed.— Constitutionalist. The Blowing up of the Ram Albemarle.—The following official dispatch is published relative to the sinking of the Confederate ram Albemarle at Plymouth, North Carolina : Fortress Monroe, Nov, 1,1864. Hon. Gideon Wells, Secretary of the Navy: I sent Lieut. AY. B. Cushing, on the 17th October, with picket launch No. 1. to blow up the ram Albe marle. He returned to-day, and reports to me that he blew up the Albemarle on the morning of the 28th. The destruction was complete. Picket launch No. 1 was destroyed by the enemy’s shot and sunk. One man escaped with Lieutenant Cushing: the others were captured. Commander Macomb write: that, “from circumstances which have since occur red, T am able to inform you that the ram is sunk.” D. D. PORTER, Roar Admiral Commanding North Atlantic Squaoroh. The New York Times says : The little vessel which has performed the deed o f destroying this noted ram is a boat not unlike a ship’s launch, and about the same dimensions. Six of them have been built under the superintendence of Chptain C. S. Boggs, U. S. Navy. Their engines, boilers, etc,, were put in them at Schenectady, New York, and were brought down here via canal. They were designed at first for picket boats exclu sively, and for the purpose of relieving the seamen from the hurtful and unhealthy work of pulling boats on picket in all kinds of weather. Before they were completed, however, the idea of placing the torpedo attachment on them was suggested an i immediately adopted, and the wisdom of the sug gestion is proven already. Tribute of Respect. Muscogee Lodge, No. 6.1. 0. 0. F., Columbus. Ga., Nov. 7,1864. Again ha3 death visited our Lodge and taken from our Order a bright and beloved brother. Brother P, G.

To this Lodge this affliction is a severe one. No more alas! will his voice be heard in our Hall. No more will our councils be instructed by hit gentle influence.
