Theatre. —Everything passed off very pleas antly at the Theatre, last night with the excep tion of the intense cold from which the audience suffered. Mr. Hamilton being unwell, Mr. Crisp took the leading character in Lucille and did ex tremely well. The costumes, as a general thing, were appropriate to the play, though we thought garotte collars rather uusitited to the dress of a French emigree' of ’9B. It is remarkable in what different ways, au au- i dience,’.however theatre-going, take the pathetic portions of a play. We noticed a number last night who laughed heartily at the most touching parts of the play, and threw over the whole an air of tbe ’udicrous perfectly irresistible. It must be the most trying situation in which an actor can be placed, to bo greeted with loud guffaws when he is doing his best te be “thrilling.” We weuld suggest te Manager Crisp te keep better fires, especially on such a night as the last. Some of the ladies wore absolutely shiv ering. Notice the bill fer to-night— Leap Year and Black-Eyed Susan. - -—♦ ——♦ From Atlanta. —We have conversed with a gentleman (says the Winchester Bulletin of the 23d) who was in Atlanta last Thursday evening. He found no enemy there, the ene my having evacuated the place. Every house had been burned, and where the houses were of stone and offered resistance to the fiery element the foundations were undermined and blown up. Only a few houses are standing, and those upon the outskirts. Indeed, he says it is almost impossible to tell where certain prominent houses stood, the only thing to mark the streets being the charred remains of the building on either side. A few people were seeking for what they could find in the ashes of destruction. The Situation. We had a severe fight at Griswoldville yee terday, of which we give particulars in an other column. It is true we were for the time being overpowered, and lost many good and true men, but yet if our people will but re spond promptly to our noble Governor’s call and come up like men to the rescue of our glorious cause, we see no reason for desponden cy. Georgians ! your homes are invaded, your women and children turned away from the roofs that sheltered them and theirs from their childhood up ; the blood of your mur* dered sires and children cries aloud for re venge. To arms ! “strike tor God and your native land !” and the blessings of widowed mothers and desolate orphans will rest on your heads.— Macon Bulletin , 23d. Tho Fight at Griswoldville. We have reliable new* frem the fight at Gris weldville. The enemy had a very considerable force engaged, including cavalry, infantry and artillery. They also had, it is supposed, a consid erable force in reserve. The fighting was very heavy, our men fighting with great bravery ; but finally were compelled to retire before overpowering numbers. During the notion the brave and gallant Col. Abner Redding, of the 7th Georgia Militia, was killed. Our gallant friend, Capt. W. T. Moorman, was slightly wounded. He would probably hare been killed but for his knife and pocket book, which lessened the force of the bullet. Our lose is variously estimated; from the most reliable sources we learn that it will reach 200, killed and wounded. The enemy robbed such of our dead and wound ed as fell into their hands. They burnt every house in the place except Mr. Griswold’s private residence. A number of cars were destroyed also. In fact the whole place presents a scene of ruin and desolation.— Macon Bulletin, 2‘id. [From Ibe Mobile Evening News.] The Fight at Johnsonville. Rucker’s Brigade, Forrest’s Cavalry,] On the banks of the Tennessee river, Benton >- County, Tenn., Friday, Nov. 4, ’64. J I cannot let the opportunity pass without sending you an account of our fight with the gunboats at Johnsonville to-day. Since our fight at Paris landing, we have been moving up the river in search of more prey, and on yesterday we succeeded in coming up with two of the enemy’s gunboats below Johnson ville, which gave us a few shots and retired. During the cover of the darkness, last night, Col. Rucker put one of his regiments in posi tion on the river banks, near the town, and also Capt. Morton, with his splendid battery. At early dawn this morning three gunboats commenced throwing out “feelers,” and to their sorrow they found where the rebels were. The bottom opposite Johnsonville is almost impassable, but the persevering Rucker and the indomitable Morton made their movements regardless of mud and water. About 3 o’clock this evening the engagement became general. Col. Rucker succeeded in gaining the river bank immediately opposite the town, under a heavy fire from the enemy’s boats and land batteries, and for two hours the hills and hol lows for miles along the Tennessee river re sounded with the roar of cannon and mus» ketry. Morton’s guns set the transports (seven in all) on fire, and pretty soon the en tire wharf was in flames. The enemy had four large siege pieees on a hill just opposite the town, which continued to shell the woods for miles along the banks, but Rucker could not be driven from his position. He had come to perform the work, and nobly did he exe cute it. A large force of Yankee infantry made its appearance on the wharf below where the boats and warehouses were burning, and commenc ed a heavy fire with small arms across the river. Colonel Rucker ordered Col. Hodgson, with the 7th Ala., and Capt. Bell, command ing 12th Tenn., to open upon the infantry opposite, and for one hoar the fire was kept up incessantly. During the fight a Yankee j regiment of cavalry made its appearance in the town, and it was laughable to see them ! stampede when a small shell from onr batte- ; ry fell in amongst them. That cavalry has , not been heard from since. Night came on and closed the engagement, which may be j summed up as follows : Loss to the Yankees, I three gunboats, seven transports, a larg» ware- I house, and an immense quantity of army j stores, destined to Sherman. We cannot tell what loss the enemy sustained in killed and I wounded, but it must have been severe, j Strange to say, our loss was not one killed j and about fifteen wounded. Our fire was j much more destructive than the enemy'3, ow- 1 ing to the fact that we got complete range of i his position, and made every shot tell. By the way, just let me here say that Capt. John Morton is, without a doubt, one of the best artillery officers in our army. He is quite young, only about twenty-one years of age. i and already he has won a name as an accom plished and skillful officer. General Forrest j counts on “Morton’s Battery” when he wants i to move the Yankees. Johnsonville—named after the great man, ' Brig. Gen., Gov., Hon. Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee—is a newly settled place, the pres ent terminus of the Northwestern railroad, which runs to Nashville. It is not on the map, and if Gen. Forrest’s command remains in this section long it never will be. It will be num bered among the things that were. Boatß hare been bringing immense quantities of | supplies for Sherman up the Tennessee river to this point, and thence transporting them over the railroad to Nashville. Our opera tions will retard transportation to Sherman over this route lam afraid. But then Sher man don't want any supplies. Yankee papers say he has “six months supply on hand.” Don’t believe it. The wharf at Johnsonville was covered with supplies, which were con sumed. This raid upon the Yankees has been very disastrous, so far, to them. We have de stroyed four gunboats and ten transport* in all, since Oct. 29. The troops of Rucker’s brigade, Chalmer’s division, and Forrest* cavalry are invincible. They are constantly in the saddle, in rain, wind and cold, night and day, and never waver when the impetu ous Rucker orders them to move upon the enemy. The are entitled to the appellation of “good soldiers.” They never get turloughs —this command being one of the few which never issue any—fighting is their vocation, and they have a leader who gives them ea tire satisfaction in every particular. Col. Rucker was no s’tranger when he came to command a brigade under Gen. Forrest His operation* ia the past few days have secured for him the title of the great “gunboat fighter.” Colonel R. is from Memphis, and at the com mencement of the wai he raised aq artillery company, and was placed in charge of the ar tillery at Island No. 10 on the Mississippi riv er during the great bombardment of that place. He fought twenty gunboats all one day, and kept them back, and but for being flanked, he never would have given up his position. He afterwards was on the lamented General Polk’s staff, and prior to hi* coming to Gen eral Forrest he commanded a brigade of cav alry under G*u*ral Longstreet in East Ten nessee and Western Virginia. His style suits Gen. Forrest, and unl*ss he is killed he wil soon wear the wreath around his stars. I have written this letter under disadvan tageous circumstances—in the rain, mud and cold, and you must overlook all errors. Shiv*ringly youra, Pkivatb. [Correspondence of the Appeal.] Letter from Corinth. Corinth, Miss., Nov. 13, 1864. Editors Appeal:— l am again at this point, having left the army. The rains for the last ten days in this section have been very heavy, making the roads almost impassable. The water courses are also getting up and may interfere with military operations for a short time. Gen. Forrest has been doing good worn in West Tennessee. His captures are immense. At Johnsonville he captured and destroyed four gunboats, fourteen steamboats, twenty eight barges and one hundred and twenty tons of quartermaster and commissary stores. Truly Forrest is one of the heroes of this war, that has never known defeat, and before whom no foe can stand. The Yankdfes fear him more than any general in our service. They say they have no idea of his military tactics. That he throws away the military books of ages, and, like Napoleen, has tactics of his own. He is certainly a genius. Many have doubted that the captures of Gen. Forrest were as great as stated, but I have seen the general himself and most all of his staff, and they say that the destruction of commissary and quartermaster stores belong ing to the Yankees, at Johnsonville, was im mense. The way they accumulated at that point was this : The railroad between Louis ville and Nashville for some time has been in bad condition, so much so that a sufficien cy of supplies for Sherman’e army could not be transported over it. This being the case, a large quantity of commissary and quarter master stores were shipped on steamboats to Johnsonville, on the Tennessee river, from which point they were to be carried over the railroad to Nashville. At the time Gen. For rest made the attack on Johnstoarille the ac cumulation of supplies were very great. General Forrest is again on the march ; where he will tarn up next will soon be known by the Yankees. His command is growing in numbers and all are in the finest spirits. J- Corinth, from the recent rains has become very muddy, which is always the case after rains. The works around this place, which are the joint labor of both belligerents, are very strong. There is no way of estimating the labor expended in fortifying this point. With all of its works it is* also one of the largest graveyards in the South. Here is the resting place of thousands who have gone forth to battle, and afier life’s fitful fever is oyer, they are sleeping on for the resurrection. hat a harvest of dead has been garnered here ! The silent graves speak to heaven ! May the bones of our comrades rest in peace— they died in the cause of their country. Among the dumb sleepers here is Col Rog ers, of the 2d Texas Regiment, who fell so gal lantly in the fight of this place in 1862. He was charging the Yankee works with his brave companions when he paid the price of the pas triot. His grave, different from ail the rest, is paled in. This was done by General Rose crans orders that Colonel Rogers’ body should be brought to him, that he was the bravest mam he had ever seen. It is said that he re marked to his men, “treat with respect this dead man, he was one of nature’s noblemen, and died as such.” He was, therefore, buried by the Federals with the honors of war, and his grave inclosed. Requiescat in pace. Memphis. Why the Exchange wax Suppressed, The Richmond Examiner say*, no doubt re mains bat that the military authorities of the en emy desired to conceal the New York papers of ; the 10th instant, or that the reason of their inten- I tion to do *o was the statement contained therein jof Sherman’s movements. In the papers of the i 12th, which they have permitted to pass, is a 1 careful suppression es distinct statement in the usual summaries of news. But the writer of an editorial in the Herald has divulged the whole story in the concluding paragraph of a long arti cle, which probably escaped their notice. Ac cording to this writer tho movement of Sherman is the result of orders from Grant, and is part of a concocted campaign, based on tho stunning speeches of Davis at Macoe, Augusta, Ac. In these speeches, they maintain, the Confederate President gave authentic information of the mil itary situation —told where tho powder mills, Ac., j were situated—where the ‘’rebel” armies were go ing—and developed the fact that the country south of Atlanta was defenseless. On their data Sherman and Grant have concerted their plans. ! Sherman is the sword to be pluaged into the “ victim,” while Grant and Thomas hold it still, and “away goes Sherman” on to Augusta, and then to Charleston. Sherman indeed has an in- ; dination to the “moveable column;” he tried 'it < and tailed last winter in Mississippi, and failed j because the great Forrest was at hand. Who will manage him in Georgia and the Carolinas, if he tries there, is uot for us to say, but it is likely enough that he will find lions iu his path. In an editorial reviewing President Davis’ mas- j sage, whea alluding to Sherman’s army, the Her- | aid says : And while these three hold their important points, Sherman strikes ’or anew one. Sherman 1 has become the right aria and will give the coup J FITE DOLLARS PER MONTH. dc grace, while the others bold the victim still. He has launched forth boldly “ into the bowels of the land,” aDd thus far undoubtedly “without iiu pediment.” It il not probable that there will be any considerable impediment in the whole career that be is to make. Grant has planned Sherman s advance in accordance wilh information furnished by Jeff. Davis. Davie in bis speeches and in his message, has furnished all the necessary facts to show thst Sherman’* march cannot bo resisted. He has told how the rebel armies are depleted and where they are. So onward goes Sherman to wards Macon, Angnata and Savannah. He will be heard of next through the rebel papers. He will test somewhat Davis’ hifalntin statement that none of the rebel oitiee are necessary to the vital ity of the rebel government, and he will prove to the complete satisfaction of Mr. Davis that he has not been compelled to “ withdraw,” and that he has not left Atlanta exactly “on the line of his advance.” From the Valliy. —At the late fight in the Valley, Sheridan telegraphed to Stanton that Gen. Longstreet had superceded General Early, and was in command at Cedar Creek ; now they claim that General Ewell is in oommand, and that Gen. Early has gono to Richmond. The following despatches are from a late number of the Herald : Headq’rs Middle Division, Not. 8, 1864. Gen. Sheridan has received information that tho rebels intend to immediately assume the of fensive. General Ewell has superceded General Early In command of the rebel troops in tho Valley. Yesterday, Fitzhugh Lee’s diaision of cavalry was at Wardensville, on Cacapon river. (Gene ral Imboden was also reported there. The rebel force at that point was over five thousand strong. Mosby has been reinforced by a regi ment of Virginia cavalry, and was yesterday at Berryvillo A raid is expected on Winchester, or on the line of General Sheridan’s communications. The rebel movements have been already counteracted. The cavalry moved this morning. To-day a force ■ from General Kelley’s command successfully at tacked a rebel force that was moving towards Moorfield. A general engagement is now looked for in a day er two. There is much indicating that the rebels will attempt to flank General Sher idan in hie position at Cedar creok. Early has gono to Richmond. Martinsburg, Not.

Mcßride and Lyons had about five hundred dollars with them belonging to themselves. Hart has just been released from Richmond, having been captured in August last, Brownlow seems to have been greatly troubled about General Vaughn and tho Holston(East Tennessee) Methodist Conference. We quote a specimen of his abuse and blasphemy : It seems that General Vaughn called upon tha Conference to pray fer him. The hypocrites and traitors in the Conference of course prayed for him the two days intervening between the request and the Morristown fight, and the result was, that their Master allowed them to bo most terribly thrashed ! If these reverend bushwhackers and outlaws had been allowed two more days of prayer they would have had Vaughn and his whole command to hell ! During the bombardment of Atlanta a shell passed through the wall of St. Luke’s Church, and, found by tho minister, the Rev. Dr. Quintard, on the fall-stool, with |the Bible, which probably fell from the lectera, lying on it. The shell had not exploded, and had broken only a splinter from the edge of tho fall-stool. It was removed by the min ister and preserved as a trophy,— Columbia Guar dian.

In retaliation for this act, five Yankees were killed six miles east of Sparta, Ten nessee, by some friends of young Marehbanks.— They were piled one on top of the other, with a card pinned on the back of the top one, bearing the following inscription : “Revenge for Capt.

In behalf of my family and relatives, I return our heartfelt thanks to our kind neighbors and many friends, who did all that was possible, in tho few minutes allowed them, to save our effects from fire, Tuesday night; also for their bounteous gift* of clothing, food, shelter, Ac. May they ever bo spared the malignity of any wretch who could be so inhuman as to imperil their lives and those of their innocent children, while wrapt in sleep, in the hour of night. For our escape from a most horri ble form of death w® hope we are grateful to a Di vine Providence. C. T. CUSHMAN, nov 24 It OBITUARY. Mathew Rawdon iVltres, Company A, 2d Reg. Fla., Cavalry, aged 20 years, went to his "rest and exceeding great reward” on the morning of Nov. 4th, 1864. From his earliest childhood, friends, rel atives and teachers, have united in according to him a character of stainless purity and firm principle,— On Easter Sunday, 1859, he ratified his baptismal vows by confirmation and Holy Communion. Soon after he left his home, Apalachicola, Fla., and en tered the Military Institute at Nashville, Tenn., where he immediately joined a Bible Tclass under the Rev. Dr. Quinlaid. He also became a Sabbalii schoolteacher and through his influence some of his College companions were induced to commence the study of the scriptures. His Principal. Colonel (now General) Bushrod Johnson, spoke in highest terms of his sterling worth and integrity. When but seventeen, he promptly responded to his country’s call by volunteering in the above com pany, and at the expiration ot the term of enlist ment he, with the entire command, re-enlisted for the war. Os a delicate constitution he was subject te many severe attacks of sickness incident to camp life. Never fully recovering from these and with insufficient health to endure exposure, he would ever return t® the post of duty sooner than he ought. A few weeks since, after a protracted attack of fever and while still feeble, he insisted on rejoining hi* command then in Baldwin. Fla , a short’time only elapsed before the quickened pulse and aching head compelled him to seek relief at the Lake City Hos pital. There he found kind friends who did all in their power to aid and comfort him, but the days of his young life were numbered, and before his loved ones could reach him, his spirit was rejoicing with the redeemed above. He died as he had lived calmly trusting in the love and atoneing blood of his Saviour. To those who surrounded him he manifested a spirit in beautiful harmony with an entire life spent in love and charity towards men, and in humble, childlike faith, and trust in hi* God. Thus another homo is bereaved, and to the vast number of *ad and aching hearts are added the many who mourn the loss of this young Christian soldier, nov 24 It* Alabama Militia ORDERED 0(71 !
