FOUND.
AT the Theatre on Monday evening, a GOLD
TOOTH-PICK, which the owner can hare by
applying at this office aq,d paying for this adver
tisement, nev 23 It
Friday Evening.
We take the following items from the Tele
graph & Confederate of the 23d:
It was rumored in town yesterday that
Hood had whipped Thomas and captured large
numbers of prisoners, wagons, kc. We trust
it may prove true.
Yesterday an engine and car went up to
G-riffiu and back. A train leaves this morn
ing on regular schedule time, o’clock.
There was a slight fall of snow in torvn
yesterday 7 morning, early.
We understand that every house at Gris- i
woldville was burned by the enemy, with the
exception of the residence of Mr. Griswold, i
All of his outhouses, however, were destroyed.
Atlanta has been evacuated and completely
burned.
Lieut. Gen. Dick Taylor arrived in town
yesterday morning. He seems in excellent
health, and will doubtless add new laurels to
those already won.
About 800 yards of the Central Road was
burned two miles from the city. We learn
that thi* has been repaired and it is probable
the mails will go through in a day or tw*.
We learn that Gen. Wheeler, on Monday
evening, attacked the enemy in the neighbor
hood of Clinton, whipped them badly, killed a
large number and captured three hundred
prisoners and forty wagons.
The Yankees, on the late raid, passed
through Indian Springs, but, wonderful to re
late, committed no acts of vandalism.
The Battle of Griswoldvilie.
On Tuesday afternoou our forces under*
command of General Phillips came upon the
pickets of the enemy this side of Griswoldvilie.
Our forces immediately deployed in line of
battle and skirmishers were thrown forward.
They drove in the pickets and then advancing
upop their skirmish Hue, drove them steadily
backwards the town and two miles
beyond, where they came upon the main body
of the enemy strongly entrenched. Our men
advanced boldly to the attack and a severe
and protracted fight continued until dark,
when our troop3 were ordered to fall back,
which they did in the best of order. No at
tempt was made by the enemy to follow.
We learn that the militia force behaved with
distinguished gallantry, advancing upon the
enemy’s breastworks in perfect order and with
no straggling. They charged through an
open field to within fifty yaids of the Yankee
works and maintained their ground tiil or
dered to withdraw.
The Athens Battalion, commanded by Maj.
Cook, and the Augusta Battalion, under Maj.
Jackson, both under the immediate orders of
the former officer, were distinguished for the
cool and steady manner in which they bore
themselves in the battle. These troops, as
well as the militia forces, acted like veterans,
aud faced the destructive fire of the enemy
with as much firmness a3 could have beeu dis
played by the heroes of Hood or Lee.
We have heard no estimate of the enemy's
loss. We gi v e below a list of our casualties as
as far as ascertained. The remainder will be
pulished to-morrow.

The Situation.— A portion of our force last
night occupied the battle ground of Griswolds
ville, and the advance picket line of the enemy
was three miles to the eastward.
The Yankee infantry are still moving in the di
rection of Augusta.
General Wheeler yesterday afternoon fought
aud drove the enemy frem the Railroad a f'ow
miles from Griswoldsville, capturing fitly priso
ners.
We are glad to state that our authorities relax
none of their vigilance, and are perfectly confident
ia the ability of our troops te repulse any attempt
the enemy may make against the city. We think,
I however, that the Yankees are satisfied with their
experience of that portion of onr forces they en
countered at Griswoidsville, and have become sat
isf »and that the road to Macon is indeed “hard to
travel.”— Telegraph & Confederate, 24 th.
The late General Conference of the Methodist
Church in the Nerth elected three abolitionist
bishops, about eight abolition editors, excluded
all slaveholders from the church, without the au
thority of law, extended the term of th® pastorate
to three yoars, created eight new Conferences,
made anew ritual and remodeled ihe discipline,
made trustees of churches members of the quar
terly c#nfarenceß, re-enacted the rule making at
tendance upon class-meeting a t*3t es membership,
and provided fer the organization of the baptized
children of the church iuto classes.
A Geen Chancb. —Upea the approach of the
enemy towards Milledgeville, Gov. Brown assem
bled the cenvicts confined there, and informed
them that these whe were willing to volunteer
could do so; and that in case they made good and
faithful soldiers, he would pardon them. Out of
126, but feur refused the offer. They immediately
organized into a Company, and elected the noto
rious Dr. Roberts as Captain. Seme five or six es
; the worst characters were, very properly, denied
the privilege of volunteering. A good chance is
j now offered these men to redeem their characters.

From Milledgeville. —The enemy occupied
! Milledgeville on Sunday evening. They doubtless

were seen ia that direction on Monday night.—

| Traveling in Mississippi. —The Jackson
correspondent of the Uniontown Herald
says:
The railroad from Meridian to this point ia
in excellent condition, and travelers arriving
here can be accommodated with everything
that is good and substantial in the eating
line, at the hotels or at private boarding
houses. I would recommend, among the lat
ter. Mrs. Hardy and Mrs. Overmann, both
! estimable ladies, and keep excellent houses.—
The trains leave here three times a week for
Canton, where, if you wish to continue uji the
Missiseippi Central road, you lie over one
j night and can be accomodated with the best
of fare and bedding, by my old friend, Cal
houn, es the Pearce house. Taking the train
on the Central road you arrive at Grenada, at
4 p.m. The latter place, since Smith and his
i Yankee follower* left it, i3 ofie mass of ruins.
They were not satisfied with burning th*
town, stealing negroes, cattle and poultry,
but all that were not carried off by them, were
killed and left to rot on the road.
I would advise strangers visiting Oxford to
oarry at least tnree days' rations and a blan
ket with them, and not get caught as I was. |
It being my first visit, I fared badiy. I was i
laughed at by the negroes aud boys about the ;
railroad when 1 inquired for the hotel. Some
even said, ‘-there goes one of Gov. Clark's tax
in kind to report to Col. Denis."' I felt rather
sheepish, but learned a lesson. I fell in with
a Missouri captain, who very xindly showed j
me the way to a lodging house, where I was '
accommodated with a bed. but nothing to
eat, the landlady saying she had scarcely
enough for her own family Your readers ,
will also acknowledge that Oxford is a poor
place, when I was told, in asking change for
a huudred dollar note, to pay my bilf, ihai
there was but one man in ’the "town who
had so much money in six months, and be
was the aseistant quartermaster.

One column of Sherman’s army left Atlanta
on the 7th, taking the Macon road, and will

column left ou the 12th, taking the direct
road to Augusta, which would be reached in
fourteen days.
The two columns concentrated at Augusta wili

Captain Semmes.— Captain Serames, accompanied
by eight ofticers of the Alabama and one hundred
men, left Liverpool October 13, to be transferred,
with guns, etc., to the steamer Ranger, recently ly
ing at Madetia.
The Liverpool correspondent of theLendon News,
of the 11th of October, has tho following:
“ Captain Nemmts, of whom, since the sinking of
the Alabama we have heard so little, and that lit-'
tie so erroneous, sailed from tho Mersey on Sunday
last, on board the bark Laurel, in ‘command of
Captain S. F- Ramsey. The destination of the
Laurel is rather mysterious at present, but, as far
as the custom bills ot entry show the vessel hue
certainly cleared for ports where Confederate pro
clivities predominate, viz: Nassau, Havana and
Jfatainoras. Her cargo is of such a mixed nature
i that no belligerent State would have the slightest
doubt of its usefulness. It consists of some large
guns, small arms, shoes, leather in balk, ammuni
| tion, clothes, blankets, drugs, etc. But the Laurel
must not be supposed to be intended for a cruiser :
she is merely a tender, and carries out to a certain
lati'ude, guns and ammunition for anew screw
steamer, es which Captain Semmes is to tike com
mand. This vessel is suppose to be anew screw
steamer which was lying at Madeira on the 3rd in
stant, and was there known uuder tho name of the
Ranger.
“The Ranger is large and very swift. To show
that Captain Semmes ’does not go unattended,
we may here state that he took with him on
board the Laurel eight officers and one hundred
men, most of whom served with him. en beard the
Alabama,”
Tho following is from the London Herald of the
12th of October, on the <ame subject:
"We have reason to know that Mr. Adams, the
American minister, is aware of Capt. Semmes’ de
parture.
“Capt. Semmes’ log, while in command of tho
Sumter and Alabama, is having a great sale in Paris
in a French dress. A cruise of three years, in defi
ance of a fleet of five hundred sail, could not but
j have its moving and exciting incidents, and tho
j French public lends a willing ear to tales of daring
| and adventure.”
