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. f FIVE DOLLARS 1 PER MONTH. 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!

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. A PROCLAMATION . BY JOSEPH E. BROWN, GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA.
