Macon, Nov. 22d .—lt is still undecided

Bodies of cavalry are still in this neighbor

A fight occurred to-day at Griswoldville,
between the Y'aukee cavalry and a part of

to our troops.
The enemy ore still in the vicinity of Clin

on.
The designs of the Yankees will probably
be fully developed to-day.
Reports of deserters and prisoners are con

Meeting oi the Citizens.
Columbus, Nov. 23d, 1864.
At a meeting of some of the citizens to orga
nize a company under the proclamation of His
Excellency, the Governor, Mr. Wm. A. Bedell
was called to the chair and M. M. Moore request
ed to act as Secretary. -
After a few remarks from Capt. B. A. Thornton,
who stated that he would be glad to have the citi
«ens organize and would grant them until Friday
evening to do so, it was proposed that tho mooting
proceed to the election of Captain, which was
agreed to, and F. G. Wilkins unanimously chosen
Captain.
On motion of Mr. Warren, the election of other
officers was postponed until Friday morning, at
10 o’clock, at which time all persons desirous of
joining the company will meet at Engine Room,
No. 3.
A special committee of three, consisting of Mr.
Warren, Griswold and J. B. Collin, was appoint
ed to call upon the citizens and solicit their names
for the organization. On motion the name of
Capt. F. G. Wilkins was added to tho committee.
On motion of Capt. Wilkins the Secretary was
requested to furnish a copy of the proceedings to
the city papers for publication.
The meeting then adjourned till Friday morn
ing, 10 o’clock.
M. M. MOORE, Secretary.
From Tennessee.
The editors of the Chattanooga Rebel, now
published at Selma, have had an interview
with Lieut. Power, of the 50th Tennesse reg
iment, who recently visited his home in Mont
gomery county, Tennessee, on a furlough. He
left the neighborhood of Clarksville, on his
return to our lines, on the 26th of October, so
that his report of the condition of things in
that section of country, is of recent date. He
says that the whole country is swarming with
guerillas. The recent demonstration of the
Yankee authorities to enforce the draft, hav
ing stimulated recruiting to Confederate com
mands, to an unusual degree. Numerous
commands have been raised in Tennessee and
Southern Kentucky, and General Lyon was
roaming over the country, gathering up re
cruits with impunity. Lyon, Chenoweth and
Sypert, all had large commands, and were
keeping the Yankee garrisons in wholesome
dread. The garrisons through the country,
and in the forts were mostly composed of ne
groes, the white troops having been, to a great
extent, withdrawn to reinforce Sherman and
Thomas. There was a regiment of negroes at
Clarkesville, and another Fort Donelson.
The Yankee troops never show their heads
out of their holes at night, and the Confeder*.
ates travel about without interruption. When
ever the Yanks hear, or have reason to be
lieve, that any citizen has harbored, or given
assistance to a Confederate soldier, they grat
ify their cowardly malice by indulging in the
most outrageous and contemptible persecu
tions—destroying property aqd insulting per
sons.
The crops in that section of country have
not been good this year. The wheat is uni
versally short, and corn and tobacco are not
up to an average. The people, however, are
not discouraged, and Lieut. Power informs us
that he was greatly astonished to find the
great body of the population so thoroughly
and heartily devoted to our cause as he found
them.
At the time that it was supposed that the
draft would be enforced in Tennessee, re
cruiting by the Confederates was carried on
to such an.alarming extent that Gov. Andrew
Johnson was compelled to announce that
there would be no draft in Tennessee. In
Kentucky, the draft was going on, and about
four out of every five men drafted immediate
ly joined Confederate commands.
Personal.— Lieut. General Dick Taylor passed
through Montgomery yesterday.
Gen. MarmisJL Wright, arrived in Montgomery
Saturday, enroute for West Tennessee, where he is
to assume command of an important post.
Governor Harris and Ad.iutant General Whet
thawe, of Tennessee, are at present with Hood’s
army.
It is said that General Beauregard will establish
hi3 headquarters in Montgomery.— Montgomery
Mail, 22d.
Yankee Prisoners.— The Yankee officers cap
tured by Gen. Forrest at Athens, Alabama, arrived
in our city yesterday morning en route to Memphis.
They are on parole and under the charge of one
Confederate officer, Capt. Henderson, who is con
ducting them to .Memphis with the view of having
them exchanged forsome of our officers.
These prisoners speaa in high terms of Gen. For
rest —say he is a very different man from what he
had been represented to be, and that he has com
plied with every promise made to them upon their
surrender.
The prisoners consist of about 200 officers and
some 15 or 20 citizens, who were caught in the forts.
Col. Campbell, who was commanding the fort at
Athens, is amongst them.
They seem to enjoy the liberty allowed them by
Chpt. Henderson, and after partaking of a rather
homely repast yesterday morning, a portion of th*m
entered quite spiritedly into a game of old fashioned
town ball. Ere iong, we opine, they will be en
gaged in quite a different game of “ball.”
They expressed great willingness to bear any
letters to our prisoners in the Federal lines, and
some of our citizens are availing themselves of the
opportunity to communicate with their relatives
and friends.— Canton Citizen, 17th,
