Good News from the Georgia Front.
We have some encouraging rumors from
Augusta and Savannah, as to the numbers
and distribution of cur forces and the Generals
| commanding them, which, if true, (and we
have the reports from reliable authority) will
enable our people to breath freer as to Sher
man s movements in Georgia. That cunning
General will be apt to meet with obstacles
that he little dreamed of in the plan of his
campaign, and if he gets out of Georgia witii
; out being awfully used up, he may consider
himself lucky.
To the Rescue!— Gov. Bonham, of South
I Carolina, has ordered the entire Reserve force
| of that State, (nearly ten thousand men,) to
| rendezvous at Hamburg, near Augusta, Ga.,
! prepared for active duty.
(Communicated.)
To iiie People of Georgia.
The time is approaching when you will elect
| Justices of the Inferior Court and of the Peace.
Remember that these offices exempt the holders
from military service, and doubtless many men
will seek them for that reason. See to it that you
elect to them ho man who is subject to and able to
go the field. There are in the country plenty of
old men and disabled soldiers to fill those offices.
The country needs every man in the that is
able to go there, and you owe it to yourselves,
you owe it to the country, you owe it to your wives
and children, and you owe it your sons, and
brothers, and fathers, who are facing the dangers
and suffering the hardships of war, that you send
every man to help them that is able to go.
Y T ou ought not to support for office of any sort,
men who are keeping out of the army now ; much
lass to support them for the purpose of enabling
them to stay out. If they have property at home
that needs their attention, ?o much the more reason
why they should go and fight for it.
Every man in the army ceuld find more pleas
ant business at home than there. Don’t wait for
the approach of the election to make your ar
rangements, but set about it at once. Put up your
old men and disabled soldiers and elect them.
And don’t permit yourselves to feel indifferent
about it, and that it is a small matter, but let
every man go to the polls on the day of election.
| Lot it be a matter of principle and of pride with
| every man that his county shall not by its vote
j kocp a man out of the field who ought to go.
JAMES N. BETHUNE.

Kentuckians Going to Forkest. —The
! New Albany (Indiana) Ledger says that a
i Confederate battery is reported on the Mis*
I sissippi at Brandywine Point, above Island 37.
| The steamers Chenauge and Platte Valley
I were attacked in going up. and two persons
killed. Gunboats are now at the bend, ahd
further trouble need not be apprehended.
The Henderson (Kentucky) News say? that
the great bulk of drafted men in Kentucky are
going into the rebel service. General Lyon
has his headquarters at Paris, Tenn., with
seven hundred men ana eight pieces of ar
tillery.
Latest from Mississippi.— A private dis
patch from Canton received in this city, (says
the Selma Mississippian, 25th,) says the Yan
kees are at Big Black, 5,000 strong. The com
missary's and quartermaster's stores are
being removed from Canton. If is probable
the Yankees will undertake to sweep through
the State, taking Jackson and Canton in their
raid. Governor Clark’s militia ought to be
amply able to gobble up 5.000 Yankees.

From Atlanta,
Atlanta. Ga., Nov. 29th. 1864.
You have heard before this that the Fede
ral have burned and evacuated Atlanta ; but
for information of the refugees and the exiles
who have been driven from their homes, allow
me to trouble 70U with a few lines, as all will
be anxious to know whether their homes have
been spared by the vandal hands. There is
not a house standing on Whitehall street
from Rowark's corner to Westley chapel on
Peachtree street, and on Marietta from the
street running from the Baptist church ; down
Decatur street a short distance below Colonel
Cowart's building, on Decatur street. All the
railroad depots are burned, including the pas
senger depot. AH the hotels, foundries, rail
road shops, Government works and mills are
burned. As I came into the city on last even
ing, I observed only three buildings of note
standing west of the Macon road—Col. Col
yer’s, Hammock's and Dr. Sells’. T. M.
Clark s house is the only building standing
between Peter’s street and the railroad. Col.
Peter's house and the two houses south of it
are standing. All the houses on Marietta
street are burned except a short space from
Dr. Powell's to Robinson's house, oppqsite
; the State depot. Except Norcross', Mills’, L.
Dean’s and B. O. Jones’, no houses are burned
on Peachtree street beyond Westley chapel.—
Inman’s, Holbrooks', Landale's and Nox's
buildings are burned. Col. Glenn's and Ran
j son’3 dwellings are not burned.
Col. L. P. Grant’s and Dr. Grant's bouses
! are burned, also Col. Gartrell's house ; the
jail is burned, and all the buildings between
' that and the Fair Ground. Only three or four
houses are burned on McDonough street, one
of which is Mrs. Rucker's, the house adjoin
ing and just above Wm. Watkins is burned;
the Female College was pulled down to put
I up a fort on the spot. Engine houses Nos. 1
land 2 are unhurt, also the Masonic and City
1 Hall; the City Hall was saved by the'appeais
[ and petitions of Mrs. Hoicombe, who lives
I only a few steps from it. The churches are
[aU unhurt, except the new Episcopal and
I Pain's churches. Most all of the residences
lin the city have been burned that were unoc-
I copied. Just think of it—a city, four months
I ago, with a population of twenty thousand,
I now about six hundred and seventy-five or;
I eighty men ; the balance women and children.
I There are some fifteen or twenty negroes left
lin the place ; the balance have all been sent
I North. They nave burned all the fencing
around the cemetery and most of the pailings
, around the graves, and burstei open the vault
belonging to Mr. Gordon, containing the re
mains of his wife and the bodies of three or
four other persons, looking for gold and other
valuables that they supposed had been hid in
vault.
Among the old citizens remaining are Drs.
E. X. Calhoun and Dalvigaa. Pat. Lynch. Bill ‘
Harviile: J. E. Bartlett and John Silsey E>r.
Dalvigaa succeeded in saving tue uiedicalcol
| lege from the Sames. Mark Hell's calico
house is unhurt. The citizens say that the
Yankee army left here swearing that they in
tended tp split and quarter the Southern
Confederacy, and plant their colors upon the
walls of Savannah. A great many of their
soldiers are said to have left here with a great
deal of reluctance—dreaded the trip. It is
said that some of the Kentuckians went off in
handcuffs ; they have some fears of meeting
with Gens. Lee or Beauregard. Their teams,
or transportation, are reported to be in a bad
condition.

War Resolutions.
The following resolutions were offered ir.
the Confederate Senate on the 18th instant bv
Mr. Henry, of Tennessee. The whole country
will respond to them with a hearty amen :
Joint Resolutions defining the position of the
Confederate States, and declaring the deter
mination of the Congress and the People
therof to prosecute the war till their inde
pendence is acknowledged.
Resolved, by the Congress of the Confeder
ate States of America, That the people of the
Confederate States are endowed by their Cre
ator with the inalienable rights of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure
these high rights Governments were institu
ted among men, deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed, and when
ever any Government becomes destructive of
these ends, it is the right of the people to al
ter or abolish it and to institute anew Gov
ernment, laying its foundation on such prin
ciples and organizing its powers in such form
as to them shall seem most likely to effect
their safety and happiness: that in these
principles, embodied in the Declaration of
American Independence, the United Colonies,
in 1776, dissolved the connection that bound
them to the Government of Great Britain,
and on them the Confederate States have
severed the-bonds of that political union
which connected them with the people and
the Government of the United States of
America, rather than submit to the repeated
injuries inflicted upon them by that people,
and to the usurpations of that'Government,
all of which had the direct object to deprive
them of their rights secured to them by con
stitutional guaranties, and an
absolute tyranny over these States.
Resolved, That the Confederate States ap
pealed to arms in defence of these rights, and
to establish these principles only after they
had in vain conjured the people and the Gov
ernment of the United States, by all the ties
of a common kindred, to discountenance and
discontinue these injuries and usurpations,
and after they had petitioned for redress in
the most appropriate terms, and received in
answer only a repetition of insults and inju
ries, which foreshadowed usurpations still
more dangerous to liberty.
Resolved, That after nearly four years of
cruel, desolating and unnatural war, in which
the people of the Confederate States have un
questionably established their capacity /or
self-government, and their ability to resist the
attempts of the enemy to subjugate them, this
Congress doe3 not hesitate to aver its sincere
desire for peace, and to that end proclaims to
the world the readiness of the Government of
the Confederate States to open negotiations to
establish a permanent and honorable peace
between the Confederate States and the Unia
ted States, upon the basis of the separate in
dependence of the former.
Resolved, That the time has come when the
Confederate Congress, in the name of the peo
ple of the Confederate States, deem it proper
again to proclaim to the world their unalter
able determination to be free, and that they
do not abate onejotof their high resolve to die
freemen rather than live slaves ; and further,
if the people of the United States by re-electing
Abraham Lincoln mean to tender to them four
years more of war, or re-union with them on
any terms, deeply deprecating the dire neces
sity so wantonly thrust upon them, and rely
upon the justice of their cause and the gal
lantry of their soldiers, they accept the gage
of battle, and leave the result to the righteous
arbitrament of heaven.
Resolved, That in view of the determina
tion of the enemy to prosecute this horrid war
still farther, against which the Confederate
States have at all times protested, and which
the enemy have waged with extraordinary
vigor, and which has been marked by acts of
extraordinary atrocity, in violation of the
usuages of civilized warfare, the Congress of
the Confederate States will, from this hour,
dedicate themselves anew to the great cause
of self-defence against the combined tyranny
of the enemy. That it shall no louger’be the
momentous occupation of the Congress and
the people of the Confederate States, but the
business of their lives, to gather together the
entire strength of the country in men and ma
terial of war. and put it forth, as with the
will of one man. and with a.i unconquerable
determination to defend their altars and their
firesides till the last votary of freedom fails
around them.
Arbitrary Acts o? tuk Administration.—
The catalogue of newspapers suppressed by order
of Mr. Lincoln, which we published a few days
since, has produced widespread astonishment, as
well it might. Long as that was, we find it far
from complete, and already we have additions to
make. We beg our friends in all directions to
send us newspaper extracts, with dates carefully
marked, which describes arbitrary acts of the Ad
ministration, whether toward newspapers or indi
viduals.
It was our intention to prepare a similar cata
logue relating to the seizure and imprisonment of
citizens. But we find that a mere list, with the
briefest mention possible in each case, would fill
not less than eighteen columns of our paper. This
tremendous list is exclusively made up of arbitrary
seizures of individuals who were dragged from
their families, without indictment, without war
rant, without form of law, without being con
fronted with witnesses against them, without
being informed of the nature of the charges
against them, immured for weeks and months
in dungeons, often a thousand miles away from
the State in w’niGh they were seized, and finally
turned loose without trial or apology.
The list includes no military offenders. It is
made up entirely of the nam*3 es citizens of the
loyal States, in which the courts of justice have
rfever been suspended, where every crime, whether
treason or other, eouid have been punished in due
form of law. The catalogue of orders made in re
lation to these victims of autocratic power is a
terrible book for history. Careful as we have boea
to preserve the record of these proceedings under
the reign of Mr. Lincoln, we find that we have
missed many in past years For the purposes of
history we a3k the aid of our friends in sending us
the particulars of any and every case heretofore
and hereafter.
We cannot find in ail our reading of histery a
record which compares with this.— N. Y. Journal

going on some excursion (fishing or hunting.)
the boat accidently struck on a torpedo, which
blew the boat to atoms, killed Mr. Rannifer
and very seriously injured Dr. Powell. The
latter was picked up by a fisherman, who was

Coi. William Phi.lips will take command of tae

sistant and such other assistant? as he needs.
And Lieut, Coi. Jones will take oomman i of
the Camp at Alabafiy with necessary assistants,
unless Major General Smith ha? aligned somo
other offi '*r to said command.
In case of a change of commanders of either of
said camps, notice will be given accordingly.
The commander of each camp will call upon the
Confederate Commissaries and Quartermasters at
the place for all necessary supplies. Gen. Beau
regard promises to issue tho necessary orders to
these officers.
It will be the duty of each commandant of a
camp to organize as rapidly as possible ail who
report, into companies, battalions, and regimoats,
In ali cases where enough men report they will be
formed into a regiment or regiments : when not a
enough for a regiment they will bo formed into a
battalion or company. The organizations already
formed under my proclamation in Cherokee an i
North. Eastern Georgia, will bo maintained if they
reporta rganizations, but in case of battaMm?
they must when it is practicable, unite and form a
regiment. All officers net already in commission
in these organizations, will be elected by the men
to be commanded, and the same rule of election
will apply in case of all new organizations. Com
missions will issue on the receipt of the returns at
tho Adjutant A Inspector General's office at Ma
con. In the* meantime those elected will com
mand as brevet officers. All cavalry organiza
tions will report dismounted. When needed as
cavalry in future they may be remounted. They
are not now needed on horse.
The commandant at camp may excuse necessa
ry physicians not exceeding three to a oounty;
the three soleeted by the Inferior Court wherever
a selection has been made by them. All actual
millers engaged in the mills as such when needed
at home, will be excused. In extreme cases of
hardship, whore it is the unanimous report of the
neighbors, that humanity requires it, on account
of the condition of the family, as in case of a blind
or insane wife, Ac., temperary exemptions may
be graated.
This power is to be exercised with great cau
tion, as it is subject to abuse, and a thorough or
ganization of all persons able to bear arms in this
emergency is absolutely necessary.
The commandant at Athens will confer and
consult with Brig. Gen. Reynolds, who is respect
fully requested to give all the aid in his power by
couriers to circulate my proclamation and these
orders in North Eastern and Cherokee Georgia,
and to aid iu furnishing supplies to the milifL
camp.
All persons under fifty years of age who are
subject under my previous order to service in
Major General Smith’s command of Militia, and
who have failed to report will be denied the privi
lege of goi pg into the new organizations, aai
will be sent forward to their respective commands
under General Smith. This will not affect the
organizatiens which have heretofore under my
proclamation been formed in upper Georgia in
the rear of the enemy if they now report prompt
ly as organizations, but will apply in all other
cases. Only those not subject to duty under
General Smith will be received in new organiza
