Saturday Evening.
From Atlanta.— We had an interview (says
the Memphis Appeal of the 25th) with a gentle
man yesterday evening, who left At'anta on Sat
urday last. He reports that the) rear guard of |
Sherman’s army left there on Wednesday week, j
leaving someone hundred of their sick and
wounded in the place. Before leaving, they burn- j
ed all the railroad and other public buildings, in
cluding the hotels, banking and business houses.
The masonic hall, churches, dwellings and college
buildings were left undisturbed. The State road
is reported destroyed as far North as Chickamau
ga-
Large numbers of people from the country were
going into Atlanta and hauiing off such articles of ,
value as were not destroyed by the Yankees, in
cluding salt, iroD, trace chains, shovels, spades,
picks, etc., etc. Some of the old citizens who
were supplied with provisions,. auJ who refused to
leave their homes under Sherman s order, arc still
living in the city.
We learn moreover that it is the purpese of the
company to go to work immediately and repair
the West-Point railroad, which it is thought can
be completed in one month’s time. The Etowah
Iron Works will also be re-established at once.
Atlanta Destroyed. —There remains now
no doubt (says the Macon Bulletin) that the
Gate City is nearly all destroyed. We have
just conversed with an intelligent captain con
nected with our cavalry, who reports that
fifteen of Wheeler’s cavalry stayed in Atlanta
last Friday night, and they state positively
that Atlanta, Decatur and Stone Mountain
are destroyed, and that there are no Yankees
in that conntry. He also states that he learn
ed there are no Yankees south of Decatur.
God grant that Sherman may be over
thrown in his great movement in the coast,
and thus Georgia be entirely free from the ini
vader.
Cheering Sign. —Northern papers report (says
the Memphis Appeal) that in Nashville Lincoln
received but 2,000 votes, and McClellan 27. This
is only about one-third the old voting strength of
the city, and it is undoubtedly made up mostly of
importations since the city fell, and es the hang
ers on of tho Federal armies, whe have concentra
ted there in large numbers. We want no better
evidence that the great mass of the old citizens
remain true to the cause of the South, and have
indignantly refused to swallow Andy Johnson’s
test oath.
We have learned since our last issue of yesterday
(says the Macon Bulletin of the 24th) that the bat
tle of Griswoldvillo was not such a serious disaster
to our arms as was at first supposed. Our loss was
heavy ; but it is believed the enemy’s loss was
much heavier, and that our forces hold the battle
field und are rapidly pursuing the retreating foe.—
Our n\en report that the ground i3 covered with
Yankee guns, and overcoats, ammunition, &c., all
indicating disaster aud a rapid flight.
We copy the following items from the
Macon Telegraph j’ Confederate of the 25th :
The Situation. —At last accounts the ene
my had moved from Clinton, as well as from
their position on the Milledgeviile road. Their
columns were tending in a southerly direc
tion, and the prevailing impression is that
they are proceeding directly to Savannah,
where, we learn, ample preparations are be
ing completed for their reception.
Sherman’s situation is daily growing more
precarious, and we may confidently hope for
his complete overthrow and destruction.
The Central ltoad is said to be entirely de
stroyed between Griswoldvdle and Mclntyre.
The City. —The city has been unusually
quiet for the past two or three days, owing to
the fact that business is generally suspended,
the families of most of our citizens having
removed to greater places of security.
The excitement occasioned by the proxim
ity of the Yankees to the city has subsided,
and we expect soon to see our business hous
es open and to hear the stentorian voices of
auctioneers crying off their goods. The Sou
thern Express Company has resumed business
and are receiving freight and money from all
points except Augusta and Savannah and
places eastward. The Theatre seems irre
pressible, as it ha3 missed bnt one perform
ance during the late excitement.
Gen. Beauregard. —We are happy to note
the arrival of this distinguished military
chieftain in our city. His presence among us
will invigorate our troops and inspire our
people with confidence;
Rumors still come to us that Hood has de
| seated Thomas, capturing a large number of
| prisoners and many pieces of artillery. They
lack, however, official confirmation.
The Governor’s Headqurters. —Governor
| Brown’s Headquarters are at the City Hall.
His Adjutant General’s office is also in the
! same building.
I
The Militia.—Hereafter there will be no
j more jeers at the militia. Their gallant con •
; duct in the battle of Griswoldville has elicited
: the respect and admiration of all.
We take the following items from the Ma
con Bulletin of the 24th :
j No Enemy at Clinton.— Our pickets occupy
j Clinton this morning, and report no enemy at
! that place. They are said to occupy Gordon,
j and Mclntyre, on the Central Railroad. They

e have reason to believe that when Sher
man reaches Savannah he will find many gal-
I lant defenders there—men he least expects to
! see.
Our cavalry, under Wheeler and Iverson,
are doing good service in front and flank of
the enemy, fighting, destroying forage and
threatening their trains.
It is said that General Sherman is a first
rate Whist player. If he does not have to
stop and take a game of Bragg , it will aston
ish us.
The battle-ground of Tuesday’s fight has
been recovered, and our dead got possession
of. Some of our dead it is feared perished
with cold during the night, as they were not
very severely wounded. The Yankees were
afraid to advance beyond the rail breastworks
they had thrown up.
Sherman's reign in Georgia —the rain that
may cause him to stick to the soil longer than !
he desires.
✓
Favorable grounds, it is supposed, exist for
checking the advance of Sherman towards
Savannah—grounds soft and moist.
It is no more than justice on the part of
our citizens to manifest a warm hospitality to
wards our soldier defenders during these cold
night*.

Report of a Prisoner. —A Yankee prisoner
captured at Clinton last right, reports that
Sherman has with him four corps, amounting
to at least fifty thousand infantry besides cav
alry. He thinks it was Sherman’s intention
to capture Macon. He further states that no
private property has been destroyed except, by
accident, that no negroes have been stolen,
no corn cribs burned, and nothing taken ex
cept such as was necessary for subsistence.—
That the army has been on quarter rations,
except where they could take supplies on the
route.
He says that there are about 1,400 wagons
to each corps, and that the stock is very poor,
and that they have taken better stock where
it could be found, and used it in place of their
own. All kinds of machinery, mills, &c., have
been destroyed on the route.
The prisoner was intelligent, and answered
all questions propounded promptly. However,
this statement may be taken with some degree
of allowance, as they burned everything in
Griswoldville, except the residence of Mr.
Griswold.— Macon Bulletin.
j .Though the Yankees laid the most
i part ot this city m ashes, before their evacuation of
j the Place, there is still a portion of it standing
I TUc first and 3econd Baptist church, the Trinity,
| (Methodist) and the Catholic "church were not
i burned. The Presbyterian church was burnt to
I the ground.
We learn that many citizens of Atlanta, now res
! idents of this place, contemplate going at an earfy
day to Atlanta and commence re building their
! homes. This is as it should be. Let them show the
foe that though they may succeed in burning empty
houses, robbing defenceless women and children
they cannot conquer the spirit of the peo.de, nor
curb their enterprise.
! , We have no doubt but that the Government will
iend this portion of our citizens all the aid in its
power towards forwarding so commendable an un
dertaking. With the M. kW. R. R. free from the 1
foe, and a proper amount of energy displayed, we
see no reason why Atlanta should not be soon again 1
I known as the emporium of the Empire State.
We learn that our friends of the Intelligencer
; contemplate isuing again their able journal -from
1 their old home. Let a free press once again be es- !
tablished in the Gate city and the people will soon :
gather around it, and if possible make it a more !
prosperous place than before.
We bid them God speed! and sincerely trust that
Atlanta may soon, Phcemx-like, rise from her ashes j

Reported Fighting in the North.—The Mo

letter dated Granada, Miss., Nov. 14th, fr*tn a
gentleman of intelligence and position to his !
friend in Mebile :
“I learn from passengers down from the lines
this evening that they are fighting all over the
North—that they have been fighting in Chicago
for three days. This accounts for the suppression
of papers in their armies.”

A Proclamation.
By JOS. E. BROWN, Governor of Georgia,
While our noblo armies ara doing everything in
their power to defend our homes and property,
aud are entitled to tho lasting gratitude and active
support of the people of this State, and of the
whole Confederacy, and while tho militia have left
I their homes unprotected and hav-o taken up arms
i and acted with tho gallantry of roteraus upon al
most evory battle field from Powder Springs to
Griswoldsvil'e—it is a matter of extreme mortifi-.
cation to know that a largo part of our cavalry
force, which should hang around and constantly
annoy the enemy as ho passes through our State,
and cut off his foraging parties and impede his
march have left their commands, and arc now
scattered in squads and in small bands over nearly
half the territory of tho State, robbing and plun
dering the citizens indiscriminately, and taking
from tho wives aud children of soldiers who are in
service discharging their whole duty, the supplies
of provisions which arc their only rneaus of sup
port.
These predatory bands of thieves and robbers,
who devastate the country under pretext of making
impressments of property for the uso of tho army,
aro a disgrace to tho commands to which they
profess to belong, and I am sure their conduct
meets the unqualified coudemnation aud scorn of
every tme soldier in tho army.
All other means for the suppression of this in
discriminate robbery having failed, the people are
obliged, as far as they have the ability, to depend
upon their natural rights of self-protection by tho
usa of force.
I, therefore, hereby eall upon the J ustices of the
Inferior Courts, Clerks, Sheriff* and all other per
sons remaining at home not subject to my last
call to ©rganize and arm thomsolves a* best they
can, and whenever a band of these plunderers*
Cnters the county and takes the property of
any citizen by force, to pursue them immediately
and shoot them down whonerer they find them,®
and to report the facts, if the force is more than
they can manage, to Lieutenant General Tayler
at Macon, who will, while ho remains in Georgia,
uphold and sustain them by force.
lam authorized by General Taylor to say th at
he will give the citizens all the aid in his power,
to slay them when and wherever they are found
committing the outrages above mentioned, and in
plain cases, where proof of the robbery is satis
factory and tho parties can be identified he will
order them shot as soon as they can be apprehend
ed and tho facts established. For this protection,
the whole peoplo of the State will owe General
Taylor a lasting debt of gratitude.
Ne officer or band of men is authorized to make
| any impressment of private property without the
exhibition of competent authority from “the War
Department. Till further notieo no impressments
will be legal unless the party making them exhib
its an order from Major Norman W. Smith, Major
Gen. Howell Cobb, or in special cases, from
Major General Wheeler, over his own signature,
specifying the necessity and the particular prop
erty to be taken, or an order from some General
of higher rank than any aboro mentioned ; and
then only when there is a strict compliance with
the laws of Congress regulating impressments.
All who attempt to impress without an orde’ -
over the genuine signature of one of the >fficers
above mentioned, are robbers, and will be shot
down by any one able to do it.
