The Macon Telegraph & Confederate.—
We are glad to find that w'e were mistaken
this morning in supposing that our cotempo
rary hr;d been compelled to suspend publica
tion. It certainly retained sufficient material
to get out a paper yesterday, for, much to our
gratification, we find it on onr table this
morning. The Confederacy and Intelligencer,
both published in Macon, have been missing
from our exchanges for several days.
Good News from Gen. Hood We learn, says
the Jacksonville Republican, that a courier
passed this place yesterday with the news that
Gen, Hood had met Sherman’s army under
Thomas, somewhere near Franklin, Tenn.,and de
feated them badly, with heavy loss. Hood’s loss
was small. Considered the greatest victory of the
war.
Rome Evacuated. —There can be no doubt,
says the Jacksonville Republican, that Rome was
entirely evacuated by the Yankees on Friday, the
11th instant, and since occupied by the 11th Texas.
They burned the railroad depot, some business
houses, and a number in the suburbs, leaving hur
riedly a considerable amount of stores.
The Recent Election.
There is one view, says the Richmond Sen
tinel, in which the re-election of Lincoln pro
duces feelings "of sadness and regret. It is
the official declaration of a great people, that
they will not only have war against us, but
war in its most barbarous and malignant form ;
that not only will they exert their strength
against us for our ruin, but they will practice
those cruelties which produce individual mise
ry, though adding nothing to military efficien
cy ; that they will have war without those
amenities which civilization enjoins and the
sanction of the Christian world has consecra
ted ; that in short they will have such a war
as Lincoln wages, although insufficient, sooner
than they will have a more vigorous and ef
fective war such as the honor of a thorough
bred soldier and the rules of civilized war,
would prescribe to McClellan.
We say it is sad that the evil design eter
tained against us should be marked by such
deliberate depravity in the attempted execu
tion. But perhaps this, also, is for our good.
It deepens and widens the gulf between us,
and renders our success more certain by ren
dering failure more dreadful and intolerable.
Every charred homestead is a fresh warning
to our people that they must never be con
quered, but must rather fight forever. The
sun, in the fable, by its gentle influences, soon
induced the traveller to part with his cloak;
while he answered to the rude demands of the
piercing wind by wrapping it the more closely
about him. These, perhaps, might stand for
McClellan and Lincoln, with their different
rules of honor and modes of warfare. Let us
prefer the violence which warns us our enemy
and rouses us to meet him, to the seductions
which might betray us to our ruin.
In the Confederate Congress, on the 10th
inst., Mr. Sparrow, of Louisiana, offered the
following, which was read and on his motion
referred to the Committee on the Judiciary :
“A Bill to Extend the Assessment of Prices for
the Army to all Citizens of the Confederate
States.
“Whereas, the depreciation of our currency
is, in a great measure, produced by the extor
tion of those who sell the necessaries of life;
and whereas, such depreciation is ruinous to
the Confederacy, and to the means of prose
cuting the war; therefore,
“The Congress of the Confederate States of
America do enact, as a necessary war measure,
That the prices assessed for the army by the
commissioners of assessment shall be the pri
ces established for all citizens of the Confed
erate States ; and that any person who shall
charge any price beyond such assessment shall
be deemed guilty of a criminal offence, and be
subject to a fine not exceeding five thousand
dollars and to imprisonment not exceeding one
year.”
During the French Revolution the guillotine
was plied with unsparing hand in the effort
to control prices, and failed signally. All
similar efforts must fail simply because they
violate and override the laws of trade which
are as definite and immutable as any other
laws for the government of God’s creatures.
When will our Legislators learn sense or re
member history ?
[Montreal Correspondence of the Burlington
Vermont State Press.]
Trial of this Vermont Raiders.
The prisoners fill the jury box at the right
hand of the judge. They are fourteen in
number, all, with oue or two exceptions, un
der 25 years. Two or three are smooth
faced fellows of apparently eighteen or nine
teen years. Two or three have hard faces.—
Young, the leader is one of these. Though
constantly smiling there i3 a dare devil in his
eye, which he probably owes to something
else than attention to his theological studies.
Hutchinson, the one last caught, and one of
the oldest of the gang, has a bad face, which
he has tried to disguise by putting on specta
cles and shaving off his whiskers. Wallace
is a handsome, resolute looking young man.
The others do not strike me as particularly
desperate, wicked or brilliant in appearance.
They are well dressed.
No one doubts, I suppose, that the decision
of Judge Coursel will be in favor of the de
livery of the prisoners to our government as
robbers. Others, however, think differently,
and there are those also who think that after
the decision of the highest provincial court,
a writ of habeas corpus may be granted by
the English courts, or the matter may be
brought before the Privy Council of England
by some appeal or writ of error. These points
remain to be decided.
The feeling in Montreal is strong. Canada
is full of rebels and rebel sympathizers, who
would gladly stir up war between the United
States and England.

The Situation.— We are glad to note an
increased feeling of confidence in the city.—
The whole available force of the community
is under arms and ready, at a moment’s notice,
for the trenches. The enemy are believed to
be east of the city, about 30 miles distant. —
The direction of their march is uncertain.—
They are reported to have a wagon train eight
miles long.
Many are of the opinion that they intend
to leave Maoon unmolested, fearing to attack
the large force gathered here and the splen
did fortifications which surround the eity.
One thing is certain—Macon is to be defen
ded to the last, and those best informed be
lieve it can .be held against any force Sherman
can bring against it.
There are no Yankees on the railroad be
tween this point and Griffin. Rumors are
abundant, but we forbear giving publicity to
sensational reports and confounded specula
tions.—Telegraph Confederate , 21 st.
It is reported, and we believe truthfully,
that the enemy have fallen back from the oth
er side of the river, and are moving in the di
rection of Milledgeville. About 10 o’clock
this morning guns were heard in the direction
of Gordon, and also to the north-west towards
Forsyth. It is not improbable that the enemy
may have fallen back from across the river in
order to draw our forces after them, and then
make an attack from above on this side of the
river. Should this attempt be made, we have
no doubt our authorities will be prepared to
frustrate the movement. “Old Reliable’’ is
not to be caught in a trap. General Wheeler
is doing gallant service with his cavalry.
We hope to announce in our morning edi
tion that Macon is safe, — lb. 22 d.
A Tale of Infamy—Barbarous Treatment
of a Member of Congress.
It is seldom that one finds in the records of base
and barbarous proceedings, a story of conduct so
dishonorable and atrocious as is laid to the charge
es our enemies in the following loiter. It is the
same that was read in Congress on Monday last:
Macon, Ga., Oct. 17, 1864.
Hon. Wm. O. Swan, M. C.:
Dear Sir: In regard to the capture and treat
ment of Col. Jos. B. Heiskell, M. C. from Tennes
see, who was captured at Rogersville, East Ten
nessee, I propose giving you a brief account, as
well as other items which may be of use.
On the morning of the 22d of August, a body
of Federal cavalry, under command of Lieut. Col.
Ingleton, of the 13th Tennessee cavalry, surprised
and captured the place, with twenty-fire prisoners,
members of Gen. John H. Morgan’s command,
who had been sent down as provost guard.
Col. Heiskell was captured while endeavoring
te escape, and was not recognized by his captors,
or, judging from what afterwards occurred, would
have been killed on the spot. Having succeeded
in their plans, and comparative quiet being re
stored, all hands collected around the prisoners,
as is usually the case, to bully and blackguard
them. Several officers coming up, recognized the
Colonel, being fresh from the same section of
country, and with pistols drawn, rushed upon
him, crying: “ Here’s Heiskell, kill him ! kill
him!” The Colonel very coolly told them to
3hoot if they saw fit, looking his assailants full in
the face; and I have no doubt but that his coolness
and unconcern saved his life. It was noticed by
all, evon the Federal soldiers. The leader in this
charge was Capt. Sysinore, a notorious bush
whacker and a deserter from our army. This
same fellow I saw shoot one of our men after he
had surrendered tea Federal soldier, and was a
prisoner, killing him instantly. He met iu the
street, a boy about 15 years old, and asked him
if he was a rebel soldier. He replied, “ No, sir, I
am not. ’ Sysmoro replied, “ No, and you never
shall be,” at the same time pulling his pistol and
shooting him through the arm, shattering it so
that amputation was necessary. After this I lost
sight of Sysmore and saw ne more of him. Seven
of our men were murdered in like manner. We
were after a short stay in the town, moved out on
the Bull’s Gap road and marched in the direction
of that place, which we reached about 12 o'clock
at-night. From here we were marched to Gen.
Gillam’s headquarters, distant about five milos,
on the Greenville read. Arriving at the General’s
headquarters, we were placed in the guard house,
where we remained until next morning.
The General’s Adjutant came in next morning
and inquired for Heiskill and Walker, (a citizen
of Rogersville, also) their hands were tied be
hind them, and both (11. and W.) tied together,
and we were then marched to the depot to be sent
to Knexville. Arriving at the depot we were put
in charge of the notorious Capt. Kirk, who pro
ceeded to practice his barbarity also upon the Col
onel and Mr. Walker, by tying them back to back,
so that it was impossible for either to sit, compel
ling them to stand up a distance of sixty miles.
On the way their hands became very much
swollen and quite painful. Mr. Walker asked
Capt. Kirk to loosen the string, telling him that
he was suffering; his answer was, “d—n you, die;
I’ll not unloose it.” The Colonel made no com
plaint, but bore it without a murmur.
We were robbed of everything we had, watches,
money, hats, <fcc. At every station along the
road, Col. Heiskell was forced at the point of the
bayonet to the car door, so that the crowd outside
might amuse themselves by abusing him, and
thus it continued until we reached Knoxville,
where the same scene was enacted, only on a
grander scale. The sidewalks were thronged with
negroes and citizens, who had to be kept back by
the guard at the point of the bayonet. The ne
groes seemed wild with excitement, telling the
officers to turn us over to tnem, and they would
make short work of it. Several of the Colonel's
acquaintances recognized him and abused him
terribly. Brownlew was for hanging him upon
the spot. Daring all this storm of indignities the
Colonel remained cool and unconcerned. We
wore taken to the jail for confinement, where we
found a few prisoners of war and 25 or 30 citizens.
Among them were Mr. Warren, of Blount, Hart
sill, of Blount, Gen. Reagan, of Athens, Col. B.
Cook, formerly a member of Congress, Col. Wat
kins, a former member; also, Dr. Harris, and Mr.
Hiphur, a member of the Legislature, all to be
tried for treason ; also, Major Wayne Wallace, of
Knoxville. Seme of these gentlemen had been
in jail for three months ; Maj. Wallace since the
evacuation of East Tennessee bj our forces last
fall. He was first carried te Jehnson’s Island,
and afterwards brought back for trial. Also,
Captains Haul and Reynolds, of the C. S. A.,
who had been notified that they were to be tried
for treason also.
I would state in regard to these officers that
they are high-toned gentlemen, and as brave as
ever drew a sword in defence of their country.—
They are both willing to undergo any suffering,
and bear without amurmur their oppression rather
than submit. They have both been in prison
nearly a year, kept for some time in solitary con.
finement. No officers in the army have done bet
ter service, and it seems hard that they should lie
in prison apparently forgotten. Our rations con
sisted of three hard crackers and half a pound of
beef per day. We were furnished with no cook
ing utensils, and had to ceok our meat on sharp
ened sticks.
Next morning, Brownlow’s Rebel Ventilator
made its way into rebeldom, and Col. Heiskell
was his principal theme. You can probably ira
agiae better than I can describe his style. He
advocated “hanging him immediately, without the
benefit of atrial ; his whole course had been per
sistent disloyalty to the United States Govern
ment, and that he should be made to expiate his
crimes upon the gallows, and alongside of him his
other brother rebels in jail, Ac.”
I remained in prison here three weeks. Up to
the time I left no action had been taken in his
case, but he was expecting to be turned over to
the civil authorities for trial. Hoping that this
statement may serve him in some way, or at least
show the extent of his barbarous treatment, and
what Yankees will do if allowed, as they have
been, to earry on unmolested their high-banded
deeds of oppression and tyranny in East Tennes
see, I respectfully submit it to your consideration.
Your obedient servant,
BEN MORGAN.
Trom Genera! Beauregard.
PROCLAMATION.
Corinth, Miss., Nov. 13.
TO THE PEOFLE OF GEORGIA.
Arise, f'or the defence of your native soil!
Rally around your patriotic Governor and
gallant soldiers ! Obstruct and destroy all
roads in Sherman s front, flanks and rear, and
his army will soon starve in your midst. Be
confident and resolute. Trust in an over
ruling Providence, and success will crown
your efforts. I h&sten to join you in the de
fense of your homes and firesides.
G. TANARUS, BEAUREGARD.
We take the following items from the Tele
graph & Confederate, of the 21st:
Removed.— The Southern Confederacy and
the Intelligencer have packed up and left the
city. We learn that they are going eastward.
We are sorry to lose them, and sincerely wish
success to th©m both wherever they locate.
The Telegraph .j- Confederate will be pub
lished in Macon, as usual, as long as the Con
federate flag waves over our city. We hope
to print our regular morning and evening
edition, in this city, until the close of the war
and the acknowledgment of our independ
ence.
Stand to your Posts. —This is no time for
weak and timid men. He who thinks of flee
ing at the approach of his adversary is un
worthy of the name of man. The occasion
demands the exercise ot an iron will, an un
wavering nerve. If ever there was a time
when men should act like men instead of cow
ards, that hour is at hand. Each heart should
be aroused to patriotic action. To arms ! to
arms ! should be the rallying cry of every man
able to raise a musket in defence of bis coun
try.
The duty of every man is to fight. He who
is unable to fight, let him assist those who
are. Be confident 1 be cheerful! There is
life in the land yet. There is faith in our cause
unshaken as the hills. Inspire the one—
awaken the other—prove true to yourselves,
your country and your God and you shall
soon welcome the day of deliverance.
In our paper of last evening we urged the
propriety at once of closing all the liquor
shops. Since then we ©ire happy to learn
from Mayor Collins that this very necessary
step has been taken. In such a time as this
the public miudjs sufficiently excited without
resorting to the stimulus of whiskey.
