COLUMBUS:
Tuesday Morning, November 29,1864.
The Winter Campaign.
I- rorn all indications at present, says the Mem
phis Appeal, the winter campaign promises to be
little lesß active than those of the spring and sum
mer. Tho Mail has information direct from the
army of General Ilood, stating that tho army had
crossed river at- Florence, and is
now probably on its march to Middle Tennes
see. Its destination is known only, of course,
to the commanding gener ; i!s. though it is
thought it will strike., directly for Columbia and
Nashville. We shall eudoav&r t > keep our
readers posted in regard to its movements and
operations.
We have information, also, through our cor
respondent at Grenada, that a formidable expe
dition is fitting out in Memphis t® operate
against the Mobile and Ohio railroad, which, if
successful, will cut. off the only remaining line
of communio ation which General Hood has with
the South, but we pre: umo measures will be
taken and preparations made to thwart the de
signs of the Yankees in that quarter. Our
military authorities in Mississippi will hardly
be caught napping when they have this timely
warning.
In Virginia, too, according to Federal accounts,
there is to be no in Grant’s ef-.rts
against Richmond and Petersburg. Rut this
may be a mere boast or ruse to hold Lee’s army
where it is and prevent his sending troops in pur
suit of Sherman. Very little or no progress can
bo made in a winter campaign so far North as
Virginia, and we should not be surprised if
even a portion ol' Grant’s army is sent South to
co-operate with Sherman, and help' him out of
the country.
For the present, all eyes arej chiefly turcod to
the movements of this military chieftain, whose
career will probably bo run within the next two
weeks. Whether it prove either sweet or bitter, it
will at least be short. Wo are in possession of in
formation that leads us strongly to hope for his
utter discomfiture. If he does not succeed in so
baffling our generals by his movements as to pre
vent them from concentrating their forces in time
and at the proper place, he and his army will
never get out of the country except as prisoners
of war. Should such be his fate, it will be a glo
rious termination of the fall campaign in the
Southwest, and will give our cause an impulse
that can never be checked. The enemy could
hardly recover from such a blow during tho win
ter, and we would be enabled to open the cam
paign in the spring under the most favorable and
flattering auspices. Tho discomfiture and capture
of Sherman’s army would secure a speedy ex
change of prisoners, which would add somo forty
or fifty thousand troops to our ranks, and give us
a force with which wo could easily march to the
Ohio river. In view then of all the advantages
to be derived from his defeat, wo can but believe
that the Government will strain every nerve and
use every effort to effect it ; and with the hearty
co-operation of the people, the States and Confed
erate authorities, we think his cescape is im
possible.
[From the Charlotteville (Va.) Chronicle.]
The Confederate Story.
We do candidly think that the defense which
the South has made in this war, is one of the
most remarkable in history. The Dutch in
the sixteenth century resisted a monarch who
was 1,500 miles distant—and that, not only
before the days of railroads but even before
the days of turnpikes. The Prussians resis
ted the combined attacks of Austria, Russia,
France and Saxony for seven years; but part
ot the time they were helped by the English,
and lor the whole of it were led by the great
Frederic, who not only commanded in the
field, but was also the ruler in the State. For
three years and a half the South has been as
sailed by the North on a scale that throws the
contest in the Netherlands in the shade, and
even transcends in magnitude the operations
of the allies against Fiederic. The Uniied
„States has called out, iu these four years, a
million and a half of men, not a Persian rab
ble, but disciplined Anglo-Saxons. Its naval
preparations have been commensurate with its
levies by land. Its turreted monsters, its iron
clads, its gunboats—backed by four hundred
wooden ships of war—have blockaded all our
coasts, and patrolled all our rivers. A few of
the former have severed like a line of forts,
the entire Confederacy by theiiue of the Mis
sissippi river. A few of them attending their
main armies have on many occasions served
as so many moveable fortresses to receive
those armies in the hour of defeat.
The ability to wage war depends on the tem
per of the race, on population, and on wealth.
In spirit we have foundjthat our enemies were
not deficient, as many ignorant persons among
us at first assumed. Their population was
twenty-four millions ; ours was eight millions ;
for it was not the whole South that withstood
them. Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, cne
third of Virginia, a part of Tennessee, joined
their arms against ours. Os the eight millions
(or less) on our side, three millions were ne
gro slaves, who could not bear arms, who
were • neutral, if not hostile, in feeling, and
who abandoned our territory when opportu
nity offered, and of whom two hundred thous
and are now in the Federal armies. In wealth,
the preponderance in their favor was still
greater. Their property amounted to $16,-
- 000,000,000; the property of the Southern
States was less than $4,000,000,000. We
Know that it was fashionable to tell us that
we wore rich, and that they were poor. But
our figures are fro pi the census of 1360. We
are not rich now. and we never were rich.—
No purely agricultural people ever were rich.
The ciphering about the cotton crop—the
twaddle about exports—were only some of
the sophisms which used to be indulged in,
anu which did not make us rich any more
than Mr. Memminger's badly printed notes
supplied us with money.
The North had within its limits great em
puiitihius of wealth, like Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Chicago,
St. Louis, Pittsburg, Buffalo, Newark, Louis
ville, Albany Detroit—the property in Phila
delphia alone equallingall the property in the
State of Georgia. The whoie country was
alive with trains of railroad cars, canal boats,
river steamers, coasting vessels, flouring mills,
foundries, cotton factories, and workshops of
every description—while its foreign commerce
whitened the Atlantic, the South Pacific, the
Mediterranean, the Gulf of Mexico and the
Asian Seas. The South was a great forest—
with three or four considerable towns and
numerous petty villages and court houses,
and straggling clearings constituting the plan
tations. There were some railroads, but the
business was small, and an occasional train
only broke the silence of the forest through
which they passed. There was no canal of
importance. The highways were rude coun
t’)- roads, almost impassable. There was no
soil or smoke stack on the broad rivers, save
the Mississippi—which was then the common
highway for the two sections. The Potomac,
the Janies, the York, the Roanoke, the Neuse.
the Santee, the Savannah, the Alabama, were
barely broken by a ripple. There were no
factories or workshops; no coast trade; no
•ships to foreign ports.
it required no arithmetic to settle the rela
tive wealth of the two sections. A few weeks
travel soon established the conclusions of the
most careless observer. If, however, there
were questions then, there can be none now.
Ihe South is wanting even the commonest
agricultural products, although her cotton
lauds are planted in corn. Articles of apparel,
C utensils of every <iav life lux
uries. are stu; r.;re. Tne North is filled with
corn, flour, beet, pork, sugar, cotton and wool
en iabrics, silks, hides, hardware, tea, coffee,
spirits, furniture, equipages, horses, mules,
cattle, sheep, paper, candles, glass ware, jew
elry, fruits, books—all that we mean by
wealth. With her great population, with
these immense resources, with ship ioads of
immigrants and arm3 ani ordnance stores
from abroad, she has put forth for more than
three year3 her whole strength against our
sparse population, our slender means, and
our rude industrial contrivances.
We had no ships—wooden or iron ; we had
no gunboats to ascend her rivers, or to pro
tect our own ; we had no arsenals to fab
ricate cannon and small arms; we had no
factories to weave our cotton and wool; we
had no tanneries to prepare our leather ; we
could not manufacture, except by slow pro
cesses, shoes, gloves, hats, buttons, stockings,
sewing thread, needles, pins, knives, canteens,
wagons, caissons, ambulances, pontoons,
spades, ploughs, ammunition ; we had no
means of pushing after our armies all those
necessaries and numberless conveniences,
which conduce so much to their health and
efficiency. We did not even have medicines
for our po >r wounded soldiers—for those lan
guishing v, ith disease in the hospitals. When
we came to a river, we could not cross it; the
cutting of a single railroad ha3 frequently
necessitated a retreat of our armies.
The loss of a railroad engine has been seri
ously felt. We have preferred 2500 beef cat
tle to 2500 Yankee prisoners. Our very
tobacco has spoiled on our hands for the want
ot the material to preserve ic. We have to j
strip our dead enemies of tlieir shoes. A cav
alry man takes the bridle off his f'oeman’s
horse before he wipes his blood 3tained sabre.
Such 13 the great contest we have sustained.
No grander military exhibition has ever,
been witnessed. No more brilliant struggle
adorns the great romance of history. We
stand to-day a conspicuous mark in the long
succession of the human drama. Sink or
swim—live or die. Grecian triumph or Car
thageniftD doom; Batavian victory or Samari
tan ruin ; Prussian glory or Circassian exile
—our record is complete ; we stand before
the world, and will live with posterity, as an
example of gallantry that will awaken admi
ration wherever the bloody Confederate story
is breathed among men.

SHERMAN’S CAMPAIGN.
The “startling” campaign which the Yan-»
kee newspapers promise their readers, that
Sherman has now fully inaugurated, is thus
laid down by the Herald—veracious and en
tirely reliable at all times :
PLAN OF THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST COLUMBUS.
General Sherman occupied Atlanta in force
on September 2d. He was hardly well located
in the “Gate City” before he began to plan his
fall campaign. It was generally understood
that his intention was to move against Col
umbus, Ga., and upon the Chattahoochee
river from that point to the Culf of Mexico.
The occupation*t>f this city and possession of
this river would practically sever the country
west of the river from communication with
the eastern part of the Confedei acy. By the
river he could draw his supplies from the
Gulf, and thus establish a base uuai which
to operate against Mobile or Macon The dis
tance of Atlanta from the supply depots of his
army preclude the idea of depending upon it
as a base, and, with a view to further move
ments into the interior, anew base of opera
tions became indispensable.
hood’s ESCAPE FROM SHERMAN.
After detailing the main features of General
Hood’s marGh on Sherman’s lines of commu
nication, the Herald says:
On October 23d, Hood moved from Gads
den, through Lookout Mountain, towards
Gunter's Landing and Decatur, on the Tennes
see river, near the last of which places he
formed a junction with General Dick Taylor’s
army, which had meantime quietly moved up
the Mobile and’Ohio railroad to Corinth, and
thence to Tuscumbia, the new base of sup
plies. He thus placed himself far in General
Sherman’s rear before that officer could take
steps to transfer his army to the new front of
the lebeis on the Tennessee. Hood’s advance
had probably reached the Tennessee before
General Sherman positively knew that he had
abandoned Gadsden. Undoubtedly it was
much to his surprise when on October 25th,
he tried the gap and found it abandoned by
Hood. The position was certainly startling.
He dared not follow, thus abandoning his
line of supplies to venture in a mountainous
country, through which a large army had just
passed. It was impossible to transfer his
entire army to Hood's front, in time to meet
him, and thus hold his communication intact.
The position demanded resolution and action.
He was not slow to resolve and act.
“Let him go North,” he exclaimed to his
council, “our business is down South.”
BHERMAN’S ROLAND FOR BEAUREGARD’S OLIVER.
He represented to his officers that the sit-*
uation of affairs justified him in considering
his column an independent one, without a
foe to confront, ltosseau and Wood’s corps,
with Morgan’s division of the Fourteenth and
Twenty-third corps, entire, were in Tennessee,
along the line of the Tennessee river. They
more than equalled Beauregard's forces.-
Gen. Slocum’s corps was in Atlanta, feebly
besieged by Iverson’s cavalry. He remained
with the flower of his army—with the corps
that stood at Chickamauga with Thomas and
the corps of Grant’s old army that besigsd
Vicksburg and relieved Chattanooga, lying in
what Governor Brown calls the “heart and
railroad centre of the South,” with only the
Georgia militia—the mere shadow of an army
—to oppose him.. He determined at this im
portant juncture to resume his original inten
tion, and ignoring the very existence of Hood,
carrying out his offensive campaign from At
lanta. He determined to follow Hood no longer,
but bade him “speed” on his journey North.
“If he will go to the river,” he said, “I will
give him his rations,” but failed to intimate
that he proposed to consider them rations to
prisoners.
The resolution was promptly formed and
the preliminary movements as rapidly execu
ted. By November Ist the Army of the Ten
nessee had left Rome and was en route to At
lanta. On November 4th the five corps—the
14th, loth, 16th, 17th and 20th—had been
concentrated at the last named city, and rapid
preparations were made to begin the march.
Sherman felt in the highest spirits, and tele
graphed his intention in these remarkable
words:
“Hood has crossed the Tennessee. Thomas
will take care of him and Nashville, while
Schofield will not let him into Chattanooga
or Knoxville. Georgia and South Carolina
are at my mercy, and I shall strike. Do not
be anxious about me. lam all right.”
This is his adieu. The Rebel papers already
announce that he has started on his march. —
Where is he going ?
SHERMAN’S FIRST DESTINATION ANDERSONVILLE.
Never, during the war, has the South been
taken so completely at a disadvantage ; and
with the legs of such soldiers as Sherman has
he can go anywhere he may desire. To the
right lies Montgomery, Mobile and Columbus.
The two first are the supply depots of Beau
regard. The last is the great arsenal of the
South. Within a few hours’ march of Ander
sonville. the great Rebel pen in which 20,000
of our men are confined as prisoners and treat
ed as dogs. Sherman is not likely to pass it
by. He wrote but a few days ago to the
President of the St. Louis Sanitary Commis
sion : “I thank you for the prompt fulfilment
of the request to send certain articles for our
prisoners at Andersonville. Things have
changed sinee. and I may have to go in
person to deliver these articles to the priso
ners.”
It may be considered a fixed fact that whether
Mobile or Savannah, or Charleston be his des
tination, Gen. Sherman will take Andersonville
in his way. Savannah lies to the left, only
fifteen days march. Charleston is in the
same direction and not over twenty-five days
distant. Let him go whichever route he ma\
he can reach the ocean, or the Gulf without a
1 battle.

Lines.
I leve to hear ’mid poplar groves
Melcdious bird3 sing madrigals,
Sitting by hoarsely murm’ring streams,
Whose babbling fills the intervals.
I love to lay mid meadows green ;
* Beneath a birch tree’s pleasant shade,
And liet all day, (’twould weary not)
To the cicadas in the glade,
I love to muse on one who died
In the sweet springtime of her life,
And who passed away to ’bide
In heaven, from discord and from strife.
I love, when spikey blades appear,
And when the lawns their green renew ;
To wander to her darling grave
And pluck the flowers wet with dew.
Those precious blossoms, which myseH
Did’st set with care, 0 Ella dear !
Within thy tiny garden spot,
Affire they were transplanted here,
0 precious child, an angel now ;
Sporting in amaranthine ways ;
Sitting by sweetly flowing brooks ;
Stringing thy harp to heavenly lays.
Thy grave is green, it may be seen
Fast by the churchyard’s ivied wall—
The litti® mound above the ground
Is green as at thy funeral.
O Ella, dear, thou art not dead,
I hear just now, thy airy wings,
Thy mellow voice rings in my ear,
Soft a3 the harp that Houri strings.

Impressments in Alabama.
The following resolutions have passed both
branches of the Legislature of Alabama :
Joint Resolutions in relation to Impressments
and the Schedule of Prices fixed by Confede
rate Commissioners.
Section 1. Be it resolved by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Stale of Alabama
in General Assembly convened , That the right
of the Confederate Government to impress the
private property of citizens for the public use
is conceded ; and when the public service re
quires it, but only in such cases, that right
should be exercised and always as the Con
stitution requires, with just compensation to
the owner of said property.
Sec. 2. Be it further resolved, That the
good faith the Government a3 well as good
policy, requires that citizens should receive
the compensation awarded them for impressed
property at the time it is taken ; and
that the policy which has heretofore
been adopted, of paying for impressed
property in mere certificates of impressment
which cannot be used either in the payment
of public dues or private debts, is alike a vio
lation of the rights of the citizen and the con
stitutional obligations of the Government.
Sec. 3. Be it further resolved, That the
new schedule jof prices fixed by the commis
sioners of several States, is arbitrary, unequal
and unjust, and should be immediately revised
fixing the rate3 of compensation upon the
basis of a fair market valuation for impressed
property in the neighborhood where it is im
pressed.
Sec. 4 Be it further resolved, That all
certificates of indebtedness issued by the Gov
ernment in payment for .property taken for
public use should be receivable in payment
of public dues.
Sec. 5. Be it further resolved, That his ex
cellency, the governor, be, and is hereby re
quested to forward a copy of these resolutions
to each of our Senators ani Representatives
in Congress.
An occasional correspondent, of the Selma
Reporter, at Oxford, Alabama, writing under
date of the 21st instant, gives the following
items of information, obtained from scouts:
The vandals have completely destroyed the
railroad between Marietta and Resaca, and
burned all the wooden buildings in those
places, as they have also done in Rome. A
large wagon train crossed the river at Chat
tanooga on the loth instant. On the 16th
they laid a pontoon below that city, upon
which, they say, they will cross the remainder
of their train. There is no enemy between
Chattanooga and Atlanta. Four corps were
sent to the latter place. General Steadman
commands a negro brigade at Chattanooga,
while at Bridgeport there is only a small brig
ade, with one regiment of cavalry at Lookout
station.
From the vote given in the late election, it
is thought that the average strength of their
army corps is not more than 4.000 ; hence, the
force advancing from Atlanta will not, prob
ably, foot up §iore than 25,000. It is scarce
ly probable that this army will be suffered to
reaeh either Savannah or Charleston in safety,
as it is their only way of escape, the back
route through East Tennessee being complete
ly blocked up.
The Memphis Bulletin, of the 15th instant,
mentions a rumor current in that city, to the
effect that Beast Butler was to supercede Ans
dy Johnson as military governor ot Tennessee,
the latter being now ineligible in consequence
of his election to the vice presidency. Bad
as Johnson has been, we hope Butler may not
be elected his successor. The Bulletin, how
ever, discredits the report, and says it under
stands Butler has rented rooms tor himself
and suite in New York for one year.
-
All citizens below the lines of Grant are
living in a constant state of apprehension and
dread, especially in the country between
Blackwater and Portsmouth. The Yankees
are out raiding every week, and neither their
persons or property are safe.
A meeting held in behalf of army missions,
on Monday last, in Augusta, resulted in the
collection of something over five thousand
dollars.
Gambling in Blood.—The Richmond Ex
aminer says of Grant;
To him war is analogous to the game of
faro. Persons who have seen him playing at
the latter game say his rule is to light a ci
gar, select two or three cards and put down
his money on them, no matter whether they
win or lose, until his last cent is gone. As
soon as his purse is absolutely empty he rises
from his chair, lights a fresh cigar, takes a
big drink of brandy and water, and walks out
the gambling hall as cool and impertubable
a3 though nothing ha<f happened. But he
never leaves the table while there is a dollar
in his pockets. Faro was Grant’s bane in
California, and war will be his ruin yet, if Lee
watches his game well. Men are no more to
him than so many “chips,” and all our com
manding General has to do is to put no limit
en his game and he will soon sacrifice his
last man as readily as he has dene his last
cent a thousand times at faro. What commis
eration does he feel for the myriads of wretch
ed privates under his command ? Is he not
the great Lieutenant General commanding all
the aimies of the United States, and must he
not be amused ?
Kentuckians Going to Foruest. —Thel
New Albany (Indiana) Ledger says that al
Confederate battery is reported on the Mis
sissippi at Brandywine Point, above Island 37.
| The steamers Chenange and Platte Valley
were attacked in going up. and two persons
killed. Gunboats are now at the bend, an?,
further trouble need not be apprehended.
The Henderson (Kentucky) News says that
the great bulk of drafted men in Kentucky are
going into the rebel service. General Lyon
has his headquarters at Paris, Tenn. ; with
1 seven hundred men and eight pieces of ar
t tillerv.

has been overhauled aud repaired, and is now in
fine running condition. We regret to learn, how
ever, that she struck a snag on her trip up which
will render a little more repaifs necessary. Capt.
Fry expects to have her all O. K. in two or three
days.
We learn from tho officers of the Indian that
the “Shamrock” continues to have bad luck. She
is now lying up at Otho, Ala., undergoing repairs,
having had another accident to her steampipe.—
We hope to see her again at our wharf a in a few

Brigadier General, and left Macon on Sunday
last with a suitable force for a point where he caa
render good service. He will make his command
felt if he gets a chance.
The Printer. —The printer the adjutant of
thought ; and this explains the mysteries of the
wonderful word that can kindle a home that no
song can—that can warm a heart as no hops—that
word “we,” with a hand-in-hand warmth in it,
for the author and the primer are engineers to
gether. Engineers indeed ! When the little
Corsican bombarded Cadiz at tho distance of
five miles, it was deemed the very triumph of
engineering. But what i3 that paltry range
to this, whereby they bombard ages yet to be ?
There he stands at the case and marshals into
line the forces armed with truth, clothed in im»
mortality and English. And what can more
noble than the equipment of a thought in
sterling Saxon—Saxon with the ring of 3pear
or shield therein, and that commissioning it
when we are dead, to mova gradually! on
to “the laM syllable of recorded time !” This is
to win a victory from death, for thi3 has no
dying in it. a
The printer is called a laborer, and th* office he
performs is toil. Oh !it is not work, but a sub
lime rite he is performing, when he thus “sights”
the engine that is to fling a worded truth in
grander curve than missiles ever before described—
fling it into the bosom [of an age unborn. He
throws off his coat; indeed ,• but wonder the
rather that he does not put his shoes from , off
his feet ; for tliß place whereon he stands is holy
ground.
A little song was uttered somewhere long ago .
it wandered to the twilight feebler than a star : it
died upon the ear ; but the printer takes it up
where it was lying there in the silence like a
wounded bird, and he sends it forth from the ark,
that had preserved it, and it flies on into the fu
ture with the olive-braneb of peace, and around
the world with melody, like the dawning of a
spring morning.

A PKOCLAYIATIOA
BY
JOSEPH E. BROWN,
GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA.
STATE OF GEORGIA, )
Executive Department, l
Milledgeville, Nov. 19, 1864.)
The whole people understand how imminent is
the danger that threatens the State. Our cities are
being burned, our fields laid waste, and our wives
and children mercilessly driven from their homes
by a powerful enemy - Wo must strike like men for
freedom or we must submit to subjugation.
Death is to be preferred to loss of liberty. Ail
must rally to the field for the present emergency or
the State i3 overrun.
I therefore by virtue of the authority vested in
me by the statute of this State, hereby order a levy
en massee of the whole free white male population
residing or domiciled in this State between sixteea
(16) and fifty-five years of age, except such as are
physically unable to bear arms, which physical de
fect must bo plain and indisputable, or they must
be sent to camp for examination, and except those
engaged in the Legislature or Judicial Departments
of the govrenment, which are by the recent act of
thelLc-gislature declared exempt from compulsory
service.
All others are absolutely required, and members
of the Legislature and Judges are invited to report
immediately to Major General G. A Smith, at Ma
con, or wherever else in Georgia his camp may be
for forty (40) days service under arms, unless the
emergency is Jboner passed.
The statute declares that all persons hereby called
out shall be subject after this call to all the rules
and articles of war of the Confederate States, and on
failure to report, shall be subject to the pains and
penalties of the crime of desertion.
Volunteer organizations formed into companies
battalions, regiments, brigades or divisions will be
accepted for (40) forty days, if |hey even approxi
mate to the numbers in each orgaization which is
required by the militia laws of this State which were
in force prior to the late act.
All police companies formed in counties for home
defence will report, leaving at home for the time,
only those over 55 years of age; and all personshav
ing Confederate details or exemptions, who, by the
late decision of the Supreme Court of this State, are
held to be liable to State militia service and bound
to obey the call of the Governor.
All such refusing to report will be arre. ed by the
police force or by any Aid-de- Camp, or other officer
of this State,! and carried immediately to the front.
The necessary employees of Railroads now actively
engaged, and the necessary agents of the Express
Company, and telegraph operators are from the ne
cessity for their services in their present position,
excused.
All ordained ministers of religion in charge of a
Church or Synagogue are also excused.
All Railroad companies in this State will trans
port all persons applying for transportation to the
Front, and in case any one refuses, its President
Superintendent, [agents and employees will be im
mediately sent to the front.
All Aidcs-de-Camp and other State officers aro
required to be active and vigilant in the execution
of the orders contained in this proclamation, and all
Confederate officers are respectfully invited to aid
State officers in their vicinity in sending forward a
persons hereby ordered to the front.
The enemy has penetrated almost to the centre of
your State. If every Georgian able to bear arm*
would rally around him, he could never escape.
(Signed) JOSEPH E. EROWN,
Governor.
