COLUMBUS, GA., TUESDAY, NOV 15, 1864. londay Evening. £1 oj: espondeuce of the Daily Times.] Milleugevills. Xoy. i2th, 1864. Messrs. Soitoks . Your readers b ve doubtless observed. Irom the proctedinirs ot the General Assemby, that there has bee i :ucb uneasiness felt on xc eou .t of the pre- alence'of small pox in this city. This hui interfered materially with the dispatch of business, and continues to prevent the cool deliberation so desirable in a legisla tive body. Notwiths andiirg this disturoing tact, unu sual progress b-s been made in the number ot bills disposed of during the first week ot the session In the House, about one hundred measures have oeen introduced, more than halt of which hwe been acted upon. In the | Senate, the number introduced is not over , one fourth as large, and a few have been act ed upon by both branches. , The practice of starting so large a propor tion of bills in the popular branch greatly j retard? legislation. It crowds the calendar , of the House, while the Senate, especially duriug the early part of the sessiou. has but I little to dti. It members of the House would ! allow Senators to introduce more ot their j ; bills, it would facilitate the business aud great | ly promote deliberate action. The press would i do a public service by calling attention to this ! subject. The measures regulating our military sys j tem and providing for the public revenue are of chief importance, and there is a general disposition to perfect such measures prepara tory to an early adjournment. A bill relieving men over titty years of' age from active service in the militia has been adopted. It contemplated their employment as a police force at home, but there is nothing in the militia laws to authorize such duty to be demanded of them. Such a provision will doubtless be appended in the Senate ; other wise, no duty can be legally exacted of them, j Bills to make militia officer; between tbe ! ages of eighteen and forty-fire liable to con ! scription : to reduce the number of Justices i ol the Peace and Constables ; the number of j Judges of the Inferior Court; to turn over the State troops to the Confederate States, have | all i believe, failed in the House. They met [ with considerable support, and all appear to be founded in a correct estimate of the public good. Our State military establishment is becoming a grievous source of expense, and it is very questionable it the benefits derived from it are at all commensurate with its cost. Tiie few. very few thousand militia now in the service require a retinue of men, including ai ls, officers, medical boards, hospital corps, and various agents on all sorts ot bomb-proof duty, probably fully equal to the number of effective men in the ranks. The civil officers alluded to constitute the recruiting officers of the militia, and require about 5,000 men, over half of whom are entirely' unnecessary in their civil positions, and are not doing much toward strengthening the miiitia force in the field. The reservation of these, and of the State line, for the protection of railroads, post and guard duty, and the suppression of insurrec tion. was more necessary when do Oonfede ; rate military operations were in progress in ; the State. But now that otir soil has become j the theatre of active war, and the Confede rate authorities have control of our defences, aud men are so much needed, would it not be as well to remove this useless wheel within a wheel, and give the Confederate authorities all our fighting men ? It cannot be denied that much strength is wasted by keeping up separate Sta-e and Confederate departments ito accomplish the ?atne end. I trust I shall not be heid to favor any odious scheme of | consolidation, or to regard lightly the soveign ty of the State. But we have selected an agent : to raise armies and to carry on war;.may we not properly confide to th at agent all thewar -1 waging resource- that we can spare? Far be it from me to charge Governor Brown with | any improper desire ta enjoy the honors or ostentation of military authority. I believe i he is actuated by a patriotic regard for the , public good. But men sometimes pursue a favorite theory or policy, right in itself, until | it becomes positively damaging, or at least loses its original merit. Measures are pro posed to retire disabled solJiers of the State troops —to give bounties—to provide for Judge advocates, and a long retinue of other expen ditures which, if we preserve a separate State military organization, are necessary ; but which are already provided for by the Con federate authorities. All these, if carried on by the State, will very soon necessitate a de gree of taxation grievous, indeed, to tie borne. The Governor caEs for $10,000,000 for mili tary purposes, and a like some tor other nec essary expenses He urges that the State avoid incurring tny further indebtedness, tad hence if his recoinmendatien is heeded, this amount must ne chiefly raised by taxa tion The amoun- vised by the most onerous rate of one per ceir. the present year, was on ly about S 15,000.0 'O.

Association am?! not be crippled in it? noble miesion : and there seems room for little national economy save in the nfUitary fund That grievous burden can be chiefly dispensed with by giving to tne prop erly constituted authorities the management of our defences. Are there any so weak as to suppose that the petty forces of the State under the preteu tious titles of State Line. State Guard, Militia, and Reserves, are more serviceable in their presen’ semi-organized condition, than they would be in the Confederate army? AY ill there be renewed danger of usurpation—the night mare that haunts the modern exponents of State rights—if these our brothers and friends are put where our worthy chief Executive can not control them, and where his retinue of go betweens cannot get fat from the bounteous leaks incident tc the huge machinery that is rolling them aud us resistlessly on to bank ruptcy and ruin ? This misconceived sensitiveness about titate rights and desire to divide the war-making power, has already cost us millions, and must, if persisted In through the four years more of war which threaten us, lead to inevitable re pudiation and disgrace. In these hurried observations I intend to cast no reflections upon the patriotism or worth of our Executive. Next tfl President Davis I regard him the sternest, wisest and best civil officer in all the land. But men are loth to abandon a favorite policy. Gov. Brown con ceives it necessary to keep up a State force, and will continue it so long as the meaas are forthcoming. He has now a numerous circle of friends who would speedily grow hungry without it. 1 propose that they all try Con federate fodder awhile. It would no doubt put them in a better humor with President Davis, and be a decided measure of economy. If this military millstone is to drag us down another year, your immediate Representative, Mr. Russell, has proposed a very wise and proper measure. He has introduced a resolu tion for the appointment of a joint committee from the General Assembly, to act as an ad visory board, or rather, a board of auditors, to look into the disbursement of funds. This is no reflection on the Governor or other officers of the State* who are over burdened with la bor, and cannot give due attention to all the expenditure. I will endeavoi to send you the resolution proposed by Mr. Russell, in a sub sequent letter, when I will review its features more fully. In this connection it is simple justice that in Mr. Russell your county has a watch ful, safe and able legislator. He only speaks when he has something to say, and says it briefly and to the point. He is doing good service in opposition to numerous unrestricted appropriations. One of these, to give certain counties overrun, a large amount of corn, has just been defeated in the House. Mr. Russel I opposed it on committee and in the House- Such legislation is partial, unjust and imprac ticable. The unanimous adoption of a resolution expressive ot confidence in the wisdom, purity and patriotism of President Davis, by the Senate, will meet with the cordial approval of the country. Georgia. From Missouri. Under the caption of “The End of the Rebel Raid in Missouri,” the St. Louis Union has the following, from which it will be seen at once that the recent accounts of Price’s utter rout and ruination were what they,were believed to be fab rications : It is most probable that the rebel invasion o Missouri was dictated from Richmond. As it was impossible for Price to cross the Mississippi, and reinforce Hood, the next best aid he could render the Georgia General was to prevent the sending of reinforcements to Sherman by invading Mii° sonri. As an invasion, the movement has proved a failure, for the rebels gained no stable foothold in the State, aud held the regions they traversed only while they were traveling them. Asa raid, a foray for plunder, it has been of mammoth pro portions, and indescribably terrible. For nearly six weeks the ruthless invaders had everythin®- their own way, and did as they pleased, auda<?ious° ly bearding our forces almost up to the confines of St. Louis, destroying railroads, pillaging towns, ravaging fields, conscripting citizens, murdering all who oppose them, and gobbled up our feeble garrisons by the score wherever they went. But the raid, we hope, has reached its end at last. The very nature of the movements has proved the cause of disaster to it. No army can remain an effective army after abandoning itself to plundering. The rebels, demoralized and dis couraged by their wild hunt after booty, and en cumbered by the nondescript spoils with which they had burdened themselves, proved an easy prey to the inferior avenging force under Pleas anton, put on the track. The small army assem bled by Curtis on the Kansas border turned them aside from their line of march towards Leaven- and as they retired toward South, Pleasan ton, with his cavalry, fell up>on them, captured ;en pieces of artillery and two hundred prisoners, and sent them fleeing in disorder towards Arkansas.— Whi.e we cannot help regretting that they were not met and ae r eated two or three weeks ago, it is gratifying to know that this chastisement has been inflicted upon them before they escaped en tirely. It does not repair the injuries which the State has suffered at the hands of the plunderers, but it teaches them a lesson which mav prevent a repetition of their audacious and destructive ir ruptions. By the following paragraph from a AYashiug ton letter, we infer the authorities tnere were not satisfied with Rosecrans' management: THE PRESIDENTS LAST JOKE. The removal of Gen. Rosecrans is imminent, but will not likely take place until after the election. The President says he believes that Rosecrans. who is a McCLelLanite, “ has allowed the State which Halleck recovered to again pass into rebel possession, on a contract with Sterling Price that the rebel forces should vote solid for McClellan and carry the balance of the Democratic ticket.”— It shows a cheerful spirit ia Mr. Lincoln to be , able thus to faeetiate. Hunter is named as the probable successor to this General, and also ia connection with the 10th army corps, his old com mand. It is stared that the English poet laureate has already cleared ten thousand pounds bv “Enoch Arden and other Poems.” Mrs. Alfred Tennyson, the Laureate’s wife, has published a song of her ,wn composing. f FITE DOLLARS \ PER MOUTH. Thf Diseipliie of Ge». Early** Army— Eirfllrat Orders. The disaster Jf it mav be called so,) of Ce dar creek will eventually prove a blessing to the Army of the Valley. No more victories are to be thrown away by demoralized plun derers. and the organization of the army itself is to be so changed that the troops will be more compact and wieldy. Already several skeleton regiments and brigades have been consolidated, which cannot fail to prove an excellent step. The apple brandy question also receives some attention iu the following orders of Gen. Early: He VIiqUARTIKS. 1 Valley District, Oct. 2.". LBu4. > [General Orders, No, 44.] I. Officers commanding divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions and companies, will at once take steps to improve the discipline of their commands, and for this purpose the fol lowing rules will be rigidly observed : Ist. No officer or soldier will be allowed to absent himself from his camp without written permission approved by his division comman der, or ir. the artillery by the chief of artillery ; and no such permission will be granted for a greater length of time than six hours. All permissions to be absent for a greater length of time mast be approved at these headquar ters. ‘2d. Patrols will be organized in each camp to arrest all stragglers ; and whenever men are found absent from their camps on permits not approved, as above provided, they will be arrested, the permits taken away and sent to the proper division commander, or the head quarters of the artillery, and the officers grant ing such permits will be arrested and tried on charges for disobedience or orders. 3d. There will be four roll calls each day in camp, to-wit: At 6 a. m. r booh, 5 p. m. and 0 p. m., which roll calls must be attended by all company officers, and superintended by the commandants of regiments or field officer from each regiment; and no company officer or so'dier, absent without proper authority from either of said rolls, will be allowed to draw rations for the next draw day, and all provis ion returns must be made to conform to this provision, ajid the absentees will be otherwise punished. On marches, the rolls of companies will be called on the formation of the command, at the close of the march, and repeatedly during the march wher the column halts to rest, and the names of absentees noted, and the same rule will be observed in regard to absentees as to drawing rations and punishments. 4th. All plunder or property of any kind, gotten by officers* or soldiers on the battle held, or from the enemy, will be taken from them and turned over to the quartermaster of the army. All property of every kind captured in battle or from the enemy, legitimately belong to the Government. No officer or soldier has the right to appropriate to himself, or bis partic ular command, any kind of property so cap tured, because he happens to find it first, and for him to do so is a great wrong to hi? com rades. The mau who continues to fight the enemy is the captor, and not he who stops to gather booty. In tuture ail such appropriation is forbidden, and all persons making it will be brought to trial. sth. The names ot all officers and men who stop to plunder, or who throw away their arms, «>r otherwise misbehave before the ene my, will be punished by publication in the pa pers of the State to which they belong, and they will be tried under the fifty-second ar ticle of war. 11. Division commanders will cansi* to be made out lists of all officers and, men who stopped to plunder, threw away their arms, or otherwise misbehaved in the recent battle on Cedar Creek, in order that their names may be published in the newspapers of their States: and charges will be preferred in the most fla grant cases, especially against officers guilty of such misconduct.

East Tennessee Front. —We have no pews of any exciting character from the front, althougo many wild reports-were adoat yesterday. Me think we can state accurately tua the enemy have not come further than Henderson’s, a short dis tance this side of Greenville. It is believed that no serious apprehensions need be felt. The enemy is evidently not in tending to advance as far as this place at pres ent : and were they to attempt it, we predict that they will find some serious obstacles in the way. Our late disaster at Morristown has enabled the enemy to extend their lines, so that a larger number of votes can be obtained in the Presi dential election. The devoted followers of Andy Johnson, in Greece county, may have a chance to vote for the idol of their affections. Tbi3 will be doubtless pleasant in the extreme, espe cially as they can, at the same time, “go it” for Abraham the First. They can now exclaim in Greene county : “No pent up Utica contracts our powers, The whole boundless Universe is ours.” P. S.— Since writing the amove, it is rep irted that the enemy had come to Leesburg, a short distance below Jonesboro, but this nee:?* confir mation. Tbe force of the enemy i» vari usly estima ted —from 2,.;t)0 to 5,0-0 —bu- we ire o* tbe opinion that it is only a scouting party on an ex tensive scale.

Tbe commotion among tbe forces there, mat gave rise to the report which was current a :ew days since, that Atlantt was being reinforce 1, was occasioned by the arrival of troop.- fftm Marietta for the purpose of voting.

Gov ernor Brown has done a great deal of harm by bis political absurdities, and to no portion of the Contederaey more than he has done to Georgia. His toait, “the uncenditional independence of the Confederacy and the sovereignty of the States.” is one we would cheerfully respond to **Ln a bottle of champagne."

Dix, of the Federal army, under the pre text of guarding against Confederates voting, has issued an extraordinary order directing the Fede ral soldiery to take possession of the polls in New York upon the presidential election day. it be comes proper and right that I should declare that there is no fact better understood than that the Confederates are but mere lookers on: and fur ther, that Ido not believe there is one in Canada, including the St. Albans prisoners, who would cross the line with the fullest Federal protect! a to vote for either of the presidential candidates. Georok N. Sanders. An Old Max who has Shot Sixty P»a --! sons. —The Cairo correspondent of the St Louis Republican, tells this story: l At one point on s he Tennessee river there is a place that has become a terror to steam boat men, and in passing it they always fin ! some place to secure themselves till the boat passes. At tiii: point an old man, sixty-od<l j years of age, h is made his headquarters for i long time, and the peculiar “crack of his gun ’ i is familiar to river men, and sends a thrill of j terror wherever it is heard. He has a long heavy barrelled gun, originally a squirrel rifle, which Ims been bored out three different times, until now the largest thumb can easily be turned >n the muzzle, and the aim of the old man is one of deadly certainty. The sentinel is always faithfully upon his watch, and his retreat has so far baffled all to catch him, from the fact that he is so surroun i ded with dense swamps and deep ravines.— I Well informed river men estimate that this I old man has killed in this way not less than sixty persons, and yet he performs his work with as much earnestness and vigor as wher. i he first commenced. The Sun from the North Pole —To a person standing at the North Po ! e, 'he sna appears to sweep horizontally around the skv • every 24 hours, without any perceptible vari ations during its circuit in its distan e from ! the horizon. On the 21st or June it is 23 deg. I 38 min. above the horizon, a little more than one-fourth the distance to the zenith, the i highest point that it ever reaches. From this altitude it slowly descends, its track being represented by a spiral or screw, with a very fine thread, and, in the course of three months it worms its way down to the horizon, which it reaches on the 23d of September. On this day it slowly sweeps around the skv. with it? face half hidden below the icy sea. It still ■ continues to descend, and. after it has entire ly disappeared, it is still so near the hori/.or. that it carries a bright,!wilight around the ; heavens in its daily circuit. As the sun sinks lower and lower, this twi light gradually grows fainter, till it fades away. On the 20th of December, the sun is 23 leg | 28 min. below the horizon, and this the rjiq night of the dark winter of the pole F ’ore this date the sun begins to ascend, and. tfte , a time, his return i3 heralded by a taint daw. which circles slowly around the horizon, com , pieting its circuit every 24 hours.
