Macon, Nov. 22d .—lt is still undecided ■whether the enemy will make another attack upon the city. It is believed,. however, that no further attempt will be made. Bodies of cavalry are still in this neighbor hood, for the purpose, it is supposed, of cov ering the operations of the enemy upon the Central Railroad. A fight occurred to-day at Griswoldville, between the Y'aukee cavalry and a part of Wheeler’s command ; result highly creditable to our troops. The enemy ore still in the vicinity of Clin ton, where skinnisning is continually going on. The designs of the Yankees will probably be fully developed to-day. Reports of deserters and prisoners are con flicting. The enemy’s infantry are still mov ing in the direction of Augusta. The city is remarkably quiet, and the peo ple are cool and confident. '♦ ♦ 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, /FIVE DOLLARS 1 PER MOKTII. Confederate States Congress. SENATE. Monday, November 14.—Prayer by Rev. Dr. Burrows, of the Baptist church. Messrs Albert G. Brown and John W. C. Watson, of Mississippi, James M.

The Congress of the Confederate States of America do enact, That the Seoretary of the Treasury is hereby authorized, upon applica tion, to exchange coupon bonds redeemable January 1, 1865, bearing six per cent, per annum iuterest, payable on thelstday of Jan uary and July in each year, for treasury notes issued under authority of the third section of the act entitled “An act authorizing the issue of treasury notes" approved April 17, 1862 ; and treasury notes being of the denomination of one hundred dollars each, payable six months after the ratification of a treatv of peace between the Confederate States and the United States bearing interest at the rate of two cents per day. On motion of Mr. Baker, of Florida, the Sen ate proceeded to fill a vacancy in the Commit tee on Post Offices and Post Roads, and Mr. Garland was elected. The President laid before the Senate a com munication from the Secretary of the Treasu ry, relative to the cotton bonds, to be consid ered in secret session ; which, On motion of Mr. Sparrow, was transferred to the secret calendar.
