Tb«.intelligence which we publish to-day from the Macon Intelligencer remotes all doubt that Sherman’s army has left its moor ings in Atlanta, and is out on a grand ram page through the State. Its line of march will doubtless be through Macon and its des , tiuation Savannah. With the capture of the latter city Sherman would have a secure wa j ter-base from which he could reach the cen tral portion of the State with more ease and at less risk than he could from his previous position. It thus happens that the crisis in the fate of Georgia has come, and the next 30 days must decide the matter for or against her.— Such being the case, the Georgia Legislature, now in session, has an obvious duty to per form. Let it repeal at once all State exemp tions for 30 days, or until the emergency is passed, and put every man under 50 years of age in the field. Close the churches, printing offices, Inferior and Justice Courts, sheriff’s offices and all other State offices, and let there be one grand rally of Georgians to meet the enemy. Has the Legislature the nerve for this work. If so, the session of that body at this time is extremely fortunate. There is no time to be lost. One hour should settle the business. From Our Richmond Correspondent. Richmond, Va.. Nov. 10th, 1864. The reported falling back of Sheridan in the Valley and the appearance of a number of iron clads in the James river squadron give color to the rumor that Grant intends a com bined land and .naval attack on Richmond. If lie succeeds the war assumes new features and must be conducted on a different and more limited scale; if unsuccessful the troubles which have so. long environed this noble city will have passed away—and with them Ulyses Grant. The result records him to future his tory as its bloodiest butcher or one of its most successful generals. In the meantime no signs of trepidation or alarm are manifest here, and the quiet is un broken-save by the boom of the heavy guns which nightly shell the industrious Yankees as they toil in the Dutch gap canal. In the published report of Admiral Buchanan of the engagement in Mobile Bay he complains of the want of competent officers, most of those at his command having been recently appointed from civil life. The commentary is not flattering to the administration of the Naval Department. What has become of the long list of naval officers whose names and rank adorn the pages of the “Navy Register?” And why Were they at so important a crisis allowed to employ that elysium of sailor life, i. e. “on shore and full pay?” News has just been received here of the election of Gen. Gray, of Louisiana to fill the vacancy in the representation from that State occasioned by the death of Mr. Hodge. The election was close and exciting. An old fel low townsman of yours, Col. Lang Lewis, be ing his competitor. The Congressional Globe died to-day of its own weight. An attempt was made to kick it in the House on yesterday, which probably hastened its demise. There is but one compe tent stenographic reporter in the Confederacy, and he of course could not report the proceed ings and debates of the House, but even if he possessed the ability and endurance, the ex pense of publishing and disseminating Con gressional debates would more than counter balance any good that might be accomplished. In the House, to-day, Mr. Chambers, of Miss., made a strong speech against the policy of making soldiers of negroes. In the course of his remarks, he paid his respects to the recent peace movements in various quarters—in very strong and emphatic language. The publica tion of his remarks would do good in many sections of the country, where weariness of war is first ripening into something worse. Mr. C. is regarded, and justly too, one of the strongest debaters in the House. He is a well informed, independent, bold and logical man, and withal a gentleman of modest but cliival ric bearing. The papers notice a bad accident on the Piedmont Railroad on yesterday. If some change for the better does not occur soon, the Government will be compelled to interdict general travel over the most important roads. The administration of some of the roads them selves, needs a little attention, which they will receive during the present session. This morn ing, McClellan stock opened brisk upon the strength of a report from onr pickets in front of Petersburg, that the soldiers had voted for “little Mac.” An arrival of northern papers before noon, disappointed the hopes of the faint hearted and the Peace Convention men. Lincoln has beaten him worse than Gen. Lee did : and small George is henceforth forever more, consigned to that sphere commensurate with his small talents and smaller services. The road to peace now is as straight as a ! musket barrel. Some of those who have been j looking for it in another direction, will be I shortly called upon to stand behind musket barrels. We shall see if they respond. JIM. i A Confederate Port. —Some of our co i temporaries, all of them, we might say, are in , the habit of mysteriously announcing the ar ’ rival of vessels at a “Confederate port.” In nineteen cases out of twenty, this means Wil j miagton, North Carolina—is so understood by the enemy, and might as well be so expressed. ‘ This is only a foolish way of whipping his ; Satanic Majesty around the abbreviated tree, which deceives nobody, and can hardly be ex pected to deceive anybody.— Wilmington Jour nn . From the Front in Georgia. The latest reliable intelligence from the front in Georgia, says the Intelligencer of the 18tb, we have received from a gentleman who left Griffin last night. (Wednesday,) at ten o’clock. Gen. Wheeler fought the enemy— who was advancing with a force estimated at from twenty-five to thirty thousand, in two columns, one on the McDonough and the other on the Jonesboro' road—at Bear Creek, ten miles above Griffiu, until late in the evening, when he fell back to Griffin, and was passing through that city on its right, when our in* formant left. Our infantry forces were fall ing back to Barnesvilie. It is probable, at the tune we write, that Sherman occupies Griffin and will rapidly demonstrate upon this city, and perhaps Milledgeville. It is , reported that Sherman has applied the torch to a large portion of Atlanta, and has burnt Jonesboro,’ also McDonough. It is also re ported that he has destroyed the railroad from Atlanta to tin- Chattahoochee and burnt the bridge at the river on that road. The fore going we deem to be reliable information, and it is all we have at the time we write-. It is now evident that Sherman has inaug urated a winter campaign, and that Georgia is the field which he designs to desolate. A terrible crisis is therefore upon us. Every man in the State able to bear arms should rally to the rescue. In the hands of the mili ■ tary authorities, however, the defence of the ! State is left. We have no suggestion to make. I What we have long looked for, is come at last. We have no censures now to pass upon any one, while we would urge upon every man in the State the necessity of doing what patriotism and duty require of him. The Hon. Senator, Mr. Sparrow, of Louis iana, has introduced into the Senate “a Bill to extend the assessment of prices for the ar my to all citizens of the Confederate States.” A better title for the Bill would have been, “a Bill to extend fraud and falsehood through out the Confederate States.” No measure which offers the premium of fortune to dis honesty and the evasion of law should, at any time; receive the sanction of legislation ; but now, when war has unloosed the bonds of virtue, and dishonest extortion has supplanted legitimate trade, a bill which drives honest men from the beaten track of integrity, as well as offers inducement to the wavering to evade the laws, is neither wise nor expedient. A maximum of prices for the whole people, from its impracticability, always becomes a maximum of fraud and perjury. Men will trade, and when the law steps in and attempts to regulate trade between man and man, it either stops all commerce, or its provisions are evaded and its penalties avoided. Laws which, from their nature cannot be executed, ought never to be passed. They extend the already great disposition of man to escape the restraints imposed even by wholesome laws, and accustom the people to disregard all laws, by forcing them to evade a mischievous en actment, which pries into the private trans actions of man with man. The depreciation of the currency is not produced by extortion, but extortion results from the depreciation of the currency and the scarcity of provisions, consequent upon an unequal distribution of supplies. Improve the currency, as proposed by Mr. Trenholm, and extortion will hare been struck a powerful blow; improve the trans portation of the country, and the blow will be fatal to extortion. Attempt to legislate prices for all the people, and the faith of the Government is again im paired; for at last it is but a roundabout way to make the money go without regard to its intrisic value. It, is tinkering with the cur rency, when you attempt to manipulate prices. It is not only of doubtful Constitutionality, but it is of undoubted inexpediency. ’ Maxi mum is the exploded nostrum of a quack; the folly of a revolutionary era; the error of in sane men, and having well nigh ruined those who attempted it, should be avoided by us at this time. “One Future—One Destiny.’’ * BY GEN. TOOMBS. Our people must not grow weary of this war. It is the life-time task of this generation, if the work bo not Sooner accomplished, to establish the independence of our Confederacy, and to thwart the fiendish designs of our would be sub jugators. Every thought, everyjenergy, every pur pose of every man and woman should-be beut to that one great object, the suceessfn' ending of this war. Upon that success hangs c’l that makes l :f e desirable for a gallant and free people; and the blood and warfare, arms and ammunition, saerfi sand self-denia 1 , marching and count irmarching, trials and suffering must be our chief delight, unt ; ’ we have shaken off, forever, the despot’s hand that would throttle the l :, o out of our little Confeder acy. Murmuring must be hushed; compla'nts ’ must cease; unanimity must reign, and one uni j versal determination never to give ap must ani mate our entire population. The goa 1 of our hopes and exertions is too glittering, too glorious not to be won, and our fate, ! f we fa' 1 , is too woe ful even for contemplation. As we cannot afford ito fail, so must, wo not fail to sue and. Up, l then, Southrons! Buckle on your armo - anew, and take a f .sh lease of hope and cor "acre !

Let us prove our ! selves worthjpcompat. lots of such glorior s heroes ! i And with “one future, one destiny, o.\e hope,” l for our motto; let us join hands in the a’ 1 h" ow ; ed purpose of repelling the i lie inTaders, and, working out for ourselves, at every cost of blood and treasure, a deliverance from the shackles our enemies wou’d forge for us and or' descendants ! Let us cease striving to amass wealth, and give more heed to the calls of patriotism: and ' f that : call sylhbles the fatal word blood, let us remember | that “Liberty, in its last analysis, is but the blood i of the brave.” w i A Hard Hit.— The Ra’eigh Confederate has ; the following hit: We learn that the Government agents arc im ! pressing apple brandy, and that it is the inten tion of the authorities to take all there is in the country for the use of the Government. Was there ever a Government as dry as ours ? ever i>ne that : required so much brandy and whiskey ? Men aie detailed to se 1 it, impress it, and we suppose men are deta’led to drink it. If taken for medical j purposes, we predict that most of the sickness will be among the officers rnd their clerks, atten dants and favorites, and that the weather bea'*n soldiers will get but precious little. We honesty believe that if the importation, s?’e and manr'ae ture of spiritaons liquors was prohibited altogether, that it weuld he all the better fer our cause, for drunkenness among Government officials has be come so common that it has ceased to excite the wonder of any one. No Distinction.— The^returned prisoners gave some laughable accounts of the c. use quence and pomposity of their negro guards in the Northern prisons. Most of them were ▼ei y overbearing and cruel, though ir. some f FITE DOLLARS t PER MOUTH. | instances they gave evidence that there natu -1 ral docility had not been entirely corrupted by association with Yankeebuckra. They were very fond of showing their authority, and rarely ever let pass an opportunity for asser ; ting their equality.

Editor of the Chronicle cfc Sentinel: « I notice in your paper a letter addressed by C. It. Baylor to myself, from New York, in which he pretends, as Commissioner of Georgia, to give information of the political sentiments and opin ions of the people of the North ; and volunteers his advice as to the mode of settlement which will be necessary, &c. The public has riready been in formed of the nature of the commercial commis sion to Europe which Mr. Baylor held in accord ance with the resolution of the Legislature of this State. I take this mode of stating that neither the commission not instructions to Mr. Baylor, clothed him with any political or diplomatic functions.— He was confined by both strictly to the commer cial objects expressed in the resolution of the Leg islature with no authority to transcend them. On learning that he had assumed to exercise diplo i rnatic functions with which he was not clothed, and had gone to the enemy, I issued a proc lamation revoking his commission. The state ment made in some of the papers that he was ever a member of my staff is wholly destitute of truth. His public speeches made prior to the date of his commission were as strongly Southern and as denunciatory of the Northern people and govern ment as those made by the most ardent official of the Confederate States. Very respectfully, your ob’t serv’t, Joseph E. Brown. The 7th C. S. Cavalry, Col. Taliaferro, com manding, was, says the Petersburg Express, disbanded on the 3d instant, and several com panies, composed of Georgians, ordered to Young’s brigade, which is also from that State. This regiment has been, during the present campaign, attached to Gen. Dearing’s brigade. In disbanding the command, Gen. 1). addressed the following complimentary communication to Colonel Taliaferro: Dearing Cavalry Brigade, } November 3d, 1864. } Colonel V. H. Taliaferro , Commanding 10 th Georgia Cavalry , Young's Cavalry Brigade: In having to disband your present regiment, and order you, with a part of it, from my brigade, I desire to express to the officers and men of your command, my entire approbation of their conduct as soldiers and gentlemen. It is with feelings of pride and sorrow that I now turn you over to the dashing and brave Brigadier from your own State. Pride, in knowing that your command will make its mark wherever it goes, and that they have formed a part of my brigade. Sorrow, at having to lose men that I have become at tached to and who have shown themselves so valiant. I have ever found them ready and willing to go where they were ordered or needed. And I shall always rejoice to hear of their success, and feel a lively interest in their future advancement and good reputa tion. Accept, Colonel, for yourself and the officers and men of your command, my kindest wishes and v. regards. Very sincerely, (Signed) Jas. Dearing, Brigadier General. A Tower of Skulls. Lamartine, in his “Pilgrimage to the Holy Land,” writes as follows : “When I was about a league from Nisa, the last Turkish town almost on the frontier of Servia, I saw a large tower rising up in-the midst of the plain as white as Parian marble. I took the path which led to it. I desired a Turkish lad who occompanied me to hold my horse, and I sat down under the shade of the tower to enjoy a few moment’s repose. No sooner was I seated than raising my eye to the monument, I discovered that the walls which I supposed to be built of marble or of regular rows of white stone, were composed of regular rows of human skulls; bleached by rain and sun, and cemented by a little sand and lime, formed entirely the triumphal arch which now sheltered me from the burning sun ! There must be from fifteen to twenty thousand. In some places portions of hair are still hanging, and waved like lichen or moss with every breath of wind. The moun tain breeze was then blowing • h, penetra ting the innumerable cavities of the skull, and sounded like a mournful and plaintive sigh.— ; These were skulls of fifteen thousand Servi j ans who had been put to death by the Pacha lin the last insurrection of Servia. Ser a, l however, is now free, and this monument will | tenth their children the value of independence | by showing them the price at which their i forefathers purchased it.” What a tower we might raise if we had the skulls of all those noble Confederates who i have died ; n this struggle for independence! I ( ould we look them in the face and say, “You 1 b vo died inva'n? You began this war be cause you had been convinced that the Yan k; e nation wrs faLe to its promises, recreant toits obligations and that no reliance was to be I placed on their pledge" found in the solemn i articles of a Constitution, but we who have su. . ived you have become tired of this expen diture of blood and treasure, and r *e willing to accept peace if our treacherous Northern i friend'; w ;, l give us the same frail guarantees which we once possessed.” Let the banquet i table of re-union be set. Gather round it the Beast Butler of the North and the reconstruc j tionists of the Confederacy, and the ghosts of ; the thousand murdered Banquos will rise to j break “the good meeting with most admired disorder.”— Montgomery Advertiser.

R. e. LEE. Death of Ex-Governor Hammond. —The Hon. James H. Hammond, ex-Governor of South Carolina and more recently a Senator from that State, when the Union survived, died yesterday morning at his residence on Beech Island. The deceased was well known over all this country as a man of eminent genius and rare acquirements. His intellect was essentially classic—large, catholic and masculine. When quite a voting man he watt elected from his native State to the House of Representatives and became at once conspic uous as the opponent of John Qnincv Adams, on the Right of Petition. From that time forth, until his health be came seriously impaired, this remarkable man filledjiearly ail the most bonerable and re sponsible offices of the commonwealth of South Carolina. As an author, Governor Hammond had few equals. Elegant scolarship, vast and curious information, the accumen of the advocate, the grasp of the statesman, the imagination of the poet—all the graces of diction and strength of intellect breathed and burned through his composition. His hospitality was princely, and there are few who were admitted to his intimacy who did not feel the spell of his musical voice as he held them in the thrall of his glittering eye, like the Ancient Mariner and the wedding guest. At the time of his decease, Gov. Hammond was within one day of his 57th year. [ Constitutionalist. The Ring of True Metal.— A lady in Hinds county, Mississippi, sends the Clarien a letter from her son, from which we make the following extract: I have to-day a melancholy duty to perform. A young man of our company shot and robbed a citizen, some weekß since, and to save himself he deserted to the enemy. A letter of inqVry has just come from his mother, which I must answer. Poor woman, I know not what to tell her. Mother, no -one will ever write to you about the desertion of your son. You may hear I’m dead, but deserted, never. lam to-day as confident, as determined as ever. Thank God, that I have inherited from you that redoubtable energy, that nothing can subdue or crush. Star vation, nakedness, cold, hunger, nothing can tear me from my purpose or discourage me in the least. We are now, thanks to Gen. Early,, getting plenty to eat. His “fool’s errand” has paid us well, and some of us will soon be off on another just such mission. f Extract.] lleadq’rs Army of Tennessee,! In the Field, Oct. 28th, 1861.
