The Pros and Gav. Brown’s Late Pa!!. The following correspondence is published in order to present to the of Georgia Gov. Brown's decision in regard to the State Press, under his late call. The fir3t dispatch was received from the Press of Columbus: “Shall the. Press of this city be suspended, and its members report for duty at Macon?’’ The Governor’s answer: “It is not my in tention to interfere with the publication of any newspaper or public journal in Georgia. No editor or other person actually necessary for that purpose is required to report for militia duty.’’ Joseph E. Brown. We clip the above from the Macon Bulletin us the 23d. It is but due to ourself to state that the dispatch to Governor Brown above given wag sent without our knowledge or sanction. The dispatch was brought around to our office several times for our signature but, on each occasion, we were absent, arid assurance was given by one of the employees of the office that our assent would be accorded. We, therefore, charge no blame to the act of attaching our name to the telegram. On hear ing the facts we immediately telegraphed Governor Brown, in substance, that we did not join in the inquiry contained in the dis patch. and that wo thought his proclamation should be responded to by everybody. Northern papers say that great frauds have beeu dis overed in pri ,ting the bills of the late Louisi ana A bolition Convention, and tho matter is being overhauled Governor Hahn is accused unknowing too much ol the affair. The report of General Canby’s being wounded is true. He was hit by a rifle shot while on a gunboat ascending th; White river, on the 6th inst. The shot ame from a guerrilla. The Picayune says that the wound, though painful, is not dangerous. Tho Morn his Bulletin, of tho 10th, says that For rest by his recent success at Johnsonville has se cured a sufficient number of boats to transport Hood’s forces across tho Tennessee river, and it is not at all improbable that the rebels inay cross and do groat damage to the railroads and probably at tack Nashville. Its account of the capture and destruction of boats at, Johnsonville is substantially the same as that recoived officially from General Forrest. Northern Expectations of Sherman’s Move ment. The Northern press profess to entertain the utmost confidence in the success of Sherman's present campaign, and beast immensely of what he is going to accomplish. The follow ing article from the New York Herald, of the 11th, is a specimen : shkbman’s masterly operation, etc. Sherman has cut the Gordian not. His movement from Atlanta toward the Atlantic coast line, already begun, if the last news be true, is the most splendid operation of this great war. He no longer wastes the energies of his army on the mere mass of country in the cotton States—the inert material that might be a great nation—but he strikes bold ly at part ot the country where the life of the rebellion lies—where there is vitality —where tne head aud heart are—where he may hit consecutively Milledgeville, Augusta, Colum bia, Charleston and Wilmington. He answers grandly that very common question, “How will Atlanta pay lor its capture?’’ He place to be an immensely important one, in view ol the effect with which its possession enables him to deliver this blow 7 ; and he furnishes a sketch in out line of the way in which the coup de grace is to be give s to the great rebellion. He has gained sucu a victory over Davis, Hood and Beauregard as will make them examples for ever oi military futility. Hood, Beauregard, Cheatham, Cleburne, are making speeches in Alabama, ou their way to Tennessee. They are going into that State to compel Sherman to evacuate Georgia. Their solicitude is for Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina— which States they desire above all things to keep free from our armies ; and, in their anxi ety to drive Sherman from what he has, they have exposed and laid completely open to him the whole heart of their country. Such is the strategy of Jeff. Davis, who told the people of Montgomery, with admirable complacency, that lie ••iuut some faith in his capacity for arras.’’ Sherman is continuing the advance begun by General Grant on the Ohio river, and in tended even then to cut in twain the part of the Confederacy on this side of the Mississippi river. The first success in that advance was the capture of Forts Henry and Donelson. The advance was continued thence to Nash ville giving us secure possession of Kentucky good hold on Tennessee. From Nash ville it was carried on by Kosecraas to Chat tanooga, flanking Bragg out of his strongholds at Shelbyville and Tullahonm. At Chatta nooga affairs were again taken in hand by Grant, who annihilated near there the rebel army that had brought Rosecrans to a bloody halt. From the position gained by Grant the advance was carried on by Shermau to Atlan ta. and now the same great soldier has started to cas rv i» to the Atlantic. It is his good for tune to have charge of the part of this ad vance that will appear most effective in the history ot the war—that may even prove the real decisive operation ot the war—and which yet has in it less difficulty and danger thau there was in any part of the same ad vance through Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia, to Atlanta. It is not even probable that he will have to tight a battle ; for through the whole district that he is to traverse the rebels have no force at a!! •»nd there is uo able bodied population. He has to make a inarch of three hundred miles through a pleasant country, that his army can live upon if necessary, and he strikes and ivolves in a common capture the capitals of Georgia and South Carolina, and Charles ton, He will hold, therefore, those tw o States defiantly and positively. And to gain this, whut doe3 he risk! Nothing. His immediate command is not risked in the least, nor can it be supposed that he risks the safety of Ten nessee. Hood can do no harm. Hood, For rest, Taylor, and all the southwestern rebels together cannot muster more than 50,000 men, and Thomas is undoubtedly able to defend the Stale from such a force. Georgia and South Carolina, .the capital ' and the principal cities of those two States . firmly held by Sherman, and what is there left of the so-called Confederacy ? Not a sin • gle State. Richmond and Wilmington will be all that will be left of the great rebellion. How long will Wilmington, the only seaport ot the Confederacy, remain in the hands of the rebels with Sherman only one hundred and eighty miles from it, and that great squadron, that troubles the Richmond papers so much, battering at its defenses ? Sherman's march will also he equally decisive in the late of Richmond ; for, if Lee, in view of this ad vance, does not suddenly divert a large force to meet Sherman, he will in two months be hermetically sealed in his capital, and if iie does divert such force his capital will fall ute der Grant’s persistent efforts. Looked at in any light, Sherman s movement promises to be a most decisive one, and there is every probability that it will he the decisive opera tion of the war. T •: ths Tim us.

Some kings have come from Shephard’s hats, Their crooks to scaptras turned ; And sagos once, from a boy af twelve, Some-wondrous lessons iearced. Cohwebs, in plenty, can be made Into a cable strong ; And ships, to pieces may be dashed, When but a needle's wrong. Warily, warily, let us walk Through this dark world of sin, A flood once deluged a brave old town Through tbe bole where a mouse came in. ii. TKXT —KEEP AWAY FROM THE EDGE. There it a point where cowards chaDge, And suddenly grow brave ; And madmen, sober reason talk, Who once did only rave ; Good nature sometimes turns to wrath, And love, true love, to hate : Tbe heart of man may be lashed to storm Which nothing can abate. Friends should beware, in teats of strength, Lest they too far may reach— E’en tho proud ocean bath respect Unto tne humble beach ; True hearts will suffer much, and iong, But when their very truth Be strained to see how much 'twill bear, We nothing reap but ruth. Os all tbe world, the gentlest men Are lions most, when roused ; “Take heed,” our Loyd once gravely said, " How the ‘ little ones’ are used.” They who believe and still believe, Despite this world’s false show, Once they have lost their trusting heart, It cometh back no more. A shattered vase, its glory gone, Can never be made whole; The magnet in one fire made hot, Points no more to the pole. A lily, fallen frem its staik, Can no more be replaced ; And lines once burned into tho heart Can never be erased. Some moments goldon, once they fly, Fly never to return ; Gome fires, if the last spark die, Again will never burn. Some words, once spoke, arc ne’er forgot, Some looks do vanish never; Some links once broke, urtPod are No MORE, NO MORE, FOREVER ! ELL. November 20, 1864. An Hour with Mosby. A nervous individual who signs himself “P. T. Q.” furnishes the Newark Daily Adver tiser with the following account of Mosby’s recent visit to the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road : At a quarter past nine o’clock on Thursday, October 18tb, a party, consisting of two la dies, a baby, nurse and myself, left the Bal timore and Ohio Railroad depot at Balti more for Martins burg, Va. The ticket agent told us that at 3a. m. v?o would be at the latter station, safe and sound. Nothing of in terest occurred until near a station called Honeyville, ten miles south of Harper’s Ferry, and about the same distance from Martinß burg. I looked at my watch and found it fifteen minutes after two o’clock. In another instant we were .alarmed by a sudden crash, which threw many passengers from their seats; then followed numerous shots outside. The passengers crouched down close to the bottom of the car for safety. Cries of “guer rillas !” “guerillas !” responded on every side, and altogether a scene of panic was presented that can be better imagined than described. To add to the tumult, three or four shots were fired through the windows, breaking the glass in a thousand pieces. In an instant we heard the robbers entering the cars from both ends. Surmising their errand, I jerked my watch from my pocket and handed it to a lady companion, telling her to secrete it, which she did. Just then one of the fellows stopped before me with a pistol lo my head and demanded my pocket book. I obeyedjwith commendable dilligence. He passed ou to relieve my neighbor of his hat, coat, watch and pocket book. Another of the band approached with pis tol in hand, “Here, you d—d Yank, hand over your watch.” “You are too late,” I answered promptly, “it is gone.” The fellow seemed satisfied with this and went on. Avery demonstrative fat lady, seated near the end of our car, then jumped up, caught one of the rebels in her arms, “oh, my love, my dear man. you will not killed me 1 ” she screamed, and at the same time clinging to him, until in ungallant anger, he roared “Confound you, let me go; I will lose my part of the plunder by your situpliciiy !” VVe were then ordered out, as the train was to be set on fire. On leaving the cars we had to climb a steep sand bank about twenty feet high, there to await further orders. The passengers in the sleeping cars fared worse, as all, with one exception, lost their hats, coats, boots, watches and money. When they were ejected from their quarters and as cended the hill, they presented a sorry pearance—just conscious of their loss, trem bling with cold, and fearing they might be invited to visit Richmond. In one car there were sixty German emigrants bound for Ohio, who when the thieves demanded their money, showed fight. To intimidtae the rest, two men were instantly shot by the butchers, and a woman wounded. The remainder were or dered to leave the cars, but did not under stand the command. Mosby ordered his men to fire the cars, and burn the “d—n Dutch.” The Conductor begged of him to hold on un til he could find a man who could speak Ger man. The poor creatures were at last made to understand. They left the car; it was set on fire, and the two men and one wounded woman left in the flames. There were about thirty Union soldiers on board unarmed, returning to their commands. These were taken prisoners, and also forty or fifty of the passengers were ordered to fall in line to be taken off. About this time I felt a little nervous—not having any strong desire to visit Libby—but fortunately, as I had a j screaming babe in my arms, I was not one of ; the chosen. Among the persons taken was a burly ne gro, who contrived to escape by falling face down on the road. The whole party were soon orderecHo march. Then followed bur rifcd. agonizing farewells, and the victims moved forward. We all supposed they were on (heir way to Richmond, but only the sol diers met with this fate. The citizens were taken a short distance to a piece ol woods and thoroughiv searched and robbed of whatever money they had and the best of their clothes. While standing with the ladies I saw a Union soldier approach cautiously along me fence When cl ;.:e beside us he quietly pc.il eii off ills coat, then pantaloons, and threw them across the fence, having nothing left but I his shirt and a pair of drawers. He then walked forth boldly among the marauders, asked for some clothing lo keep him warm, ■ complaining that the rebels bad taken all his I clothes. The ruse saved him from further at tack. Then arose a cry that the Yanks were in the wools; the guerillas mounted mid started off in a hurry, but in fi*e rain Met* tney were h ick, and exclaimed, “A tai«e alarm ! and they fell to plundering Biill further. By j this time the mail, express and baggage had been robbed, and what they generally did not i want was in flames, and the gentlemen were lo'Y - - v- . ■ ■ _ - v". i.n'.ur- I •’I ( . u. * i(,i ot ihe ladies of our party lost all her I•» :K>ijfc In vain she begged a plethoric l-’ofcnMT t’uenl a to spare ber clothing and i .at i»t lo r child. “There are no valuables in tbe trank ; you certainly can do nothing with it* contents,” she plead. “Pooh,” wieer ed tbe “chivalry, ’’ as be swaggered passed her, “they will do to help on the flames,” and help the flames they did. It was then announced by one of the officers that every rider had a place tor a woman in front of him on his horse ; but this beastly threat was not carried out. They then made a final eearch aud »aw the work was complete; the train was burned; tbe Postmaster, with $63,000, robbed; the passengers plundered of their hats, coats, boots, watches and mon ey; and locking and bnrning the mail, ex« press and baggage, they bade us a bois'erous farewell. A gentleman from Ohio, who bad lost 600, his coat, bat and watch, had a Mc- Clellan badge pi,iced to his vest Some fel low ventured to ask him, “How were the Peace Democrats ?” He tore off his badge, threw ; t on the ground and said: “D—n Mac and the devils. lam going to vote for Lincoln.’ Another said ho always was a sound Dem ocratand wc lid remain so, but be certainly would vote foi Lincoln so as to give those fiends their deserts A lady, who had recovered her spirits after the danger was passed, laughingly offered a premium of twenty-five cents for a peace Dem ocrat, bu 1 none were to be fouud iu that party. [Tiiis was doubtless one of Lincoln s elec tioneering cards, and the reader will know how to appreciate some of the closing state® meats.] (From tno St. Louis Republican.) Federal Report of tiie Missouri Campaign. Tangible evidence was yesterday to be seen in this city of the important victories recently gained over Price’s invading forces, some par ticulars of which have been given from day to day during the past week, in the columns of the Republican. These evidences were the presence of several rebel officers of high rank, consisting of Major General J V Marmaduke, of Missouri; Brigadier General ffm L Cabell, of Virginia, Colonel Lee Crandall, of the 48th Arkansas infantry ; Colonel W F Slemmons, of Arkansas, and Wm L Jeffreys, of Missouri; John Waddell, anephew of General D M Frost, formerly of St. Louis ; and Surgeon C H Smith, are also of the party. The rank of the former we have not learned, and the latter, we understand, is not to be held a prisoner, but is to be exchanged, or permitted to return South soon from this city. The prisoners came down the Missouri river on the steamer Cora as far as Hermann, whence they were transferred to the Pacific railroad, and reached Barnum’s hotel, on Wednesday night.— They were in charge of the gallant Colonel V Cole, second Missouri light artillery, who dispensed with the services of a guard, as the prisoners were on parole not to attempt to escape from his custody. His orders were to permit no one to converse with them, and the orders were carried out with due particularity. The prisoners, however, were under no oppres sive restraint, and were allowed to go at will about the hotel and the streets in the vicinity. They observed the spirit of their parole rigidly by avoiding callers and questioners, and keep ing, most of the time, within a room iH the upper story, which had been assigned for their accommodation, and where Colonel Cole, kept his station. Among those who called during the forenoon were relatives and friends of General Marma duke, and of Mr. Waddell, and one or two dozen others, tfho desired to make inquires of friends and relatives who are starving in Price's army. At a quarter past three, the Jjarty, ac companied by Colonel Cole, took the Alton and Terre Haute railroad for Johnson’s Island, which has been designated, as their place of im prisonment. BATTLE OF THE OSAGE. In this, as in the action at Little Blue and Inde pendence, we are informed that undue prominence has been given to the army of Kansas. Generals Curtis and Blunt were making, at the last named places but indifferent headway against the rebels, aud were relieved in good season by Gen. Pleas anton. with his portion of the forces sent by Gen. Rosecrans from St. Louis and other points in Missouri. Pleasanton was met soon after his arrival on the Western border by Lane, Carney and other Kansas dignitaries, who acknowledged gratefully that he had saved their State from invasion by his timely arrival, and by his turning Price so opportunely to the South ward. General Pleasantou’s division, the one with which he overtook and fought the enemy at the Osage, consisted entirely of cavalry, aa follows : First brigade, Colonel Phillips ; second brig ade, General McNeil; third brigade, General Sanber, and fourth brigade, Colonel Winslow.— Each brigade had a section of the second Missouri artillery, drawn from the batteries of Captain Thurbor and Captain Montgomery both of whom were present and participated in the battle.— General Curtis and his horses were iu the rear, and the conflict was fought to a triumphant end almost entirely by his cavalry division* being eon tested with such vigor and order that both men and horses tad expended their utmost strength at the close. Onr informant says that he saw about two hundred horses fell down from exhaus tion. STRENGTH OF THE REBEL ARMIES. One of the most prominent of the prisoners al leged that Price’s whole force, at the time he ad vanced into Missouri from Arkansas, numbered 10,000 men, and by the time he took up his retreat southward, he had jreceived in recruits 10,000 more. He denied the statements that have been published, to the effect, that the rebels used their prisoners with inhumanity, aud says they were regularly treated as well as the circumstances of the capture would allow. WHAT THEY SAY OF THEIR DEFEAT, Marmaduke is described as having opposed the move into Missouri, on the ground that nothing could be accomplished that would affect the final result of the war. On the march toward Arkansas he and Cabell were assigned to the duty of pro tecting the rear, consisting of a heavy wagon train, which retarded their movements, and which should have been destroyed before they left the Missouri river. There were other impediments in the form of droves of cattle, horses and sheep, that proved to be serious obstacles to their march. When the attack commenced, his division was spread over a line of fifteen miles in length, with Price and the rest of the army a considerable dis tance in advance, so far that they rendered him no aid whatever to repel the Federal attack. His division, therefore, was flanked by tho Un ion cavalry and cut off. He fought for forty-eight hours, but while directing a counter charge he was captured, together with Gen. Cabell, and their men put to flight. He thinks that three or four hundred of them fell into Federal hands. Another cause of confusion was so many of his men being dressed in captured Federal uniforms, which prevented him and his officers at critical periods, from distinguishing the Union troops from bis own. He rode on one occasion within fifty yards of a body of tho former, ordered them to cease firing, and did not discover that they were not his own men, until he found himself in their hands. California, it is reported, gave Lincoln twenty five thousand majority, and Oregon and Nevada each one thousand. Another Rebel Raid. Oxford, Miss., Nov. 7.— Editor Picket and3fo tive: The brigade on duty at Oxford, commanded by Col. Dennis, has just returned from an expedi tion on the Memphis and Charleston railroad. The object was to destroy the track to prevont the Fed eral trains running eastward from Memphis. The inarch was made rapidly, and the read reached in three days. It was occupied f<jr forty - eight hours, and permanently destroyed at the most important points from Moscow to within five m ; les of Memphis. Scouting parties were sent to within two miles of the city, and a battalion of State trooi s threatened from below. Tho effect was that Gen Washburn sent a flag of truce to Germantown, then occupied oy a part of the command, addres sed to Major Gen. Forrest. His object in thus seud ng and the result of the conference, has not transpired. It is some satisfaction, however, to know that no train can move out from Memphis, as the road is a perfect wreck as far east as Grand Junction. The way isopen as far north as Ken tuekv, and Buford’s cavalry take dinner daily in Mayfield. The lines of 3861 are entirely re-estab lished.

Storm’s breech loading rifles, shot, shell, sword bayonets, and other warlike storee, recently supplied to the EuropeanJChinese force, and which have been brought back to this country, were recently sold by auction in London, and attracted a numerous attendance among those present, beiDg agents from the Confederate and Fed eral States, who made large purchases on ac count of their respective governments. The Whitworth 32 pounder rifle guns, with a car riage, etc., complete, which cost £460 each, sold from £SO to £l2O each ; the 12 poun ders, which cost £225 each, sold from £25 to £39; and the 1 pounders, which cost £lll, from £8 to £l2. The Storm’s breech loading rifles sold for merely nominal prices, and the shot, shell, etc., did not realize the value of the metal.— London Post. The season reminds us of a cheap and easi ly applied expedient for extra warmth and covering which was mentioned last winter, and has been tried and approved by many readers of the Courier. This is simply paper, newspaper < r any wrapping paper, which in twofold thickness, or more if needed, in the shoe or boot, will be found equal to an extra sock or sole, and more convenient, as long as kept dry. A thin coverlet lined with paper will be found about equal to a blanket, and two sheets or coverlets with a paper lining between, equal to a heavy blanket or com fort. A sheet of paper between the shirts or oth er garments will be found a wholesome and comfortable wrapper and protection for all invalids and convalescents who are exposed to cold on the chest.— Charleston Courier. A soldier of the Army of the Shenandoah pro poses, through the Richmond Sentinel, that the soldiers of that army “donate their tobacco rations, during the war,” for the benefit of their former comrades who are now in Northern prisons. The Sentinel, in reply says : The above is, indeed, a most generous and touch ing offer, and is made in a spirit of noble self-sacri fice that could have come only from one of our in comparable soldiers. God bless them! We hope the proposition may reach our captives in their prison houses, that they may know how tenderly they are remembered by their bravo comrades at home. We cannot consent, however, that our sol diers shall make such a sacrifice of their few camp comforts. It must not and will not be necessary.— Under the arrangement which has been made by which the Government may supply our soldiers in captivity, rations of tobacco will, of course, be for warded to them, The solicitude felt by our corres pondent for their comfort in this particular will be gratified without the generous sacrifice which he is so ready to incur.

The committee are unable to supply more. Even at this rate the woed will cost some $20,000 during the winter. We earnestly anneal to men of means to grant aid to this charity. All know how hard it is to procure a living, and all must per ceive that without wood the poor must bitterly suffer. They cannot buy it, as every cent is re quired for food. Then let those who have wealth do all in their power to relieve suffering and want. The late Henry Thomas. —We have received further particulars of the unfortunate circum stances which resulted in the death of this young man in Macon, on Sunday night last. It seems that he was engaged in the examination of anew fashioned pistol, and had just handed it to Capt. Pemberton, (one of his best friends) for inspection, when in the hands of the latter the weapon acci dentally discharged itself, the contents taking ef fect in the body of young Thomas, producing death almost instantly. This deplorable accident has opened afresh to grief many h earts not yet healed from former bereavements, and especially to his immediate family, will occasion an irrepar able loss. They can however derive comfort from the fact, that he fell in the discharge of the patri ot’s duties ; for though suffering from the effects of an old wound, received in the seven day’’ figul around Richmond, and by which he was per manently exempt, he again voluntarily buckled on the armor of his country, and went forth val orously to defend her rights. In his death, the cause of freedom is weakened, the list of heroes shortened, and the dome3tio circle broken. The warm, generous sympathies of our whole commu nity, we feel assured, will be extended to his mother, Mrs. Anna Thomas, who in her lonely widowhood, had already begun to look with con fidence to her son, so full of life and promise, as one upon whose arm she could lean in the wintry declivity of old age.
