Tuesday Evening,
The Situation. —The enemy left Miliedge
ville and Gordon Friday morning. Both col
umns were moving in the direction of Millen.
They are effectually destroying the railroad
as they proceed.
The force that left Gordon divided into
two columns—one keeping the road and the
other diverging to the right, with the purpose,
j probably, of crossing the river below.
This city is perfectly quiet and refugees
rapidly returning.— leldgraph t j- Confederate
| 28th.
From Milledgeville.
The Yankees left Milledgeville cn Friday
about 12 o'clock. They destroyed the Arse
nal, Penitentiary and Railroad Depot. They
also burnt the bridges. No other property,
we learn, was destroyed.
Since the above was written we have been
handed the following letter for publication.—
It speaks for itself:
Milledgeville. Ga.,\
Nov. 25th, 1864. J
Mr. Collins. Mayor of Macon :
Sir: Our citizens have been utterly de-
I spoiled by the Yankee army. Send us bread
; and meat or else there will be great suffering
I among us.
We have no mules or horses. What you
3end must be brought by wagon trains.
The railroad bridge and the one across the
Oconee have been burned. The State House,
Executive Mansion and Factory are still left
us. Send us relief at once.
Respectfully, Yours,
B. B. DeGraffenried, Mayor,
Milledgeville.
Several wagons loaded with provisions left
Sunday morning for the relief of the people
of Milledgeville.— Macon Tel. <$- Confederate.
The Front. —We hear many unreliable ru
mors of all kinds, which we will not notice in
our columns. It is very certain that more or
less fighting was going on at Oconee bridge
yesterday. A dispatch from an official source
was received from Oconee bridge late yester
day evening, stating that the enemy had
turned their artillery in the opposite direction
—towards Macon—and were shelling, from
which it was evident they were attaoked in
the rear by our forces from Macon. This we
look upon as highly encouraging, showing not
only that we are holding our ground at Oco
nee, but that our gathering hosts are falling
upon the enemy’s flanks. *
From all we can learn of She»man s move
ments, tbe present position, we think he is
aiming to march upon this city. Os course we
cannot tell with any degree of certainty at
what point he designs to reach the coast* till
his plans are more fully developed ; but to
our mind, all his movements thus far, indicate
Savannah a3 his point of destination, and un
less his army is whipped, routed, demoralized
or captured, he will reach here. This, how
ever, can and will be prevented, if the men of
the State will rally in response to the call of
Gov. Brown, as they shouid. There is no ne
cessity for us to say what our forces amount
to, nor where they are. Suffice it, that if the
men still left at home will now come up and
lend their help, we have enough— Savannah
Nerve, 25th.
[From the Macon Telegraph & Confederate.]
The Enemy at Clinton,
I The undersigned citizens of Clinton feel it
their duty to submit the subjoined statement
of facts connected with the advance of the
' Federal army into our county and.village, for
! the information of our fellow citizens who
i have fled from their homes, that they may
; “take due notice and govern themselves ac
-1 cordinglyv"
The advance of the Federal column reached
j Clinton about 2 o'clock on Saturday afternoon,
and encamped around the village. This con
sisted mainly of Kilpatrick’s cavalry. The
infantry consisting of the 15th and 17th army
corps udder Gen. Howard,foilowed from Sun
day morning until Wednesday afternoon, and
encamped during the whole time within a few
miles of Clinton. The rear of the column
did not leave the county until Friday morning
| the 25th inst,
It will thus be seen, that they remained in
i the county about one week. Our condition
can scarcely be imagined. To say that the
cruel enemy have, left universal ruin and des
olation in their track would but imperfectly
convey the truth. Everything has been swept
as with a(storm of fire and the “besom of des
truction. ' One third of Clinton is in ashes.
The Courthouse is left, but the records des-
I troyed. The whole country around is one
| wide waste of destruction. Corn-cribs, gin
houses, mills, barns, and many residencess are
all for the most part gone. Those who re
: mained at home had most of their clothing
and furniture spared, but everything out of
doors was given up to indiscriminate plunder.
I Hogs, cattle, horses, mules, milch cows, and
poultry of every kind were slaughtered or
driven off without exception. Nearly all of
the bacon, corn, fodder, wheat, flour, syrup.
&c., was taken or destroyed. All the farms
in their track are desolated—fences torn down
rails burned, wagons, carriages, buggies, out
houses, and aiLthe dwellings not occupied at
the time, sharing the same fate.
The enemy has gone at last, but he ka3 left
desolation in his track. AYe invite you back
to your homes but you will find them to a
great extent in ruin. There is but one spirit
left in tue breast? of the people, and that is
undying hatred towards the Yankees, and
eternal resistance to'their tyrannical sway.

Do Two Wrongs Make a Right.— This pro posh

O'-unied, that two wrongs dc n*t muK.e a right; but
a friend mentioned the other night a bit of logic
which be heard cited recently, and whic-a would al
most seem to upset the old maxim:
Two wrongs never ruukearigat, said one dispu

Yes they do—sometimes, said hi* amagonut.

[Special to the Columbus Enquirer,]
The Latest from Sherman.
Savannah, Nov. 26. —The news from above
indicates no material change in the position of
affairs on the Oconee. The enemy finding them
selves foiled, have made some change in their po
sition, but none that will give them any advan
tage or that we are not believed te be fully able to
meet.
The report referred to in our morning edition
that Sherman's main body was some thirteen
miles west of Sandersville, is an error. There is
no reason to believe that it is anywhere near that
point; and, indeed, the distance is too great for
infantry to have traveled it in the time allowed.
The present force of the enemy consists wholly of
cavalry and the usual compliment of artillery,
and is believed to be far in advance of the main
column. Indeed, whether the latter has any in
tention of making a serious demonstration is a
question with the military authorities, and with
many others who aro best advised of their move
ments,
Augusta, Nov. 25. — AYe conversed with an in
telligent gentleman, who arrived la3t night by
the passenger train from up the Georgia road.
He informs us that'on Monday the Federals left the
line of the Georgia road, going in the direction of j
Eatonton.
The only Yankees who came to Greensboro
were a few stragglers, and :hey were captured.
The trains ran up to Greensboro and Athens yes
terday.
A portion of Major Graham’s command reach
ed this city last night. They report that they
visited Atlanta a few days since and found it
completely evacuated and burned. They state
that the Federals took all the cattle and forage in
their route, but did not molest those who remain
ed at home. They captured two or three hundred
Yankee stragglers, who will probably reach here
to-day. They also corroborate the statement of
the Federals leaving the Georgia railroad and go
ing in the direction of Eatonton.
The passenger train on the Central railroad
went to the Oconee river yesterday.
Gentlemen who left Sparta yesterday morning,
inform us that the report of the Yankees being at
Powellton is incorrect, as our scouts report that
there are no Yankees oa this side of the Oconee
river.
The Federal column that left the line of the
Georgia railroad lasi Sunday, is reported to be
eighteen miles below Greensboro, marchiDg in the
direction of the Central railroad.
The Yankees have destroyed the State House,
penitentiary and hotel at Milledgeville, and made
an unsuccessful attempt to blow up the depot.
Ne movement has been made against Athens
or Schull shoals. Eighty Yankee prisoners have
I arrived at Athens and one hundred more are ex
pected.
Augusta, Nov. 25. -The latest reliable intelli
gence from the direction of Macon comes from
our ‘couts scat out from Sparta. These scouts,
who came in last report that a body of
from 600 to 1000 Y ankee cavalry had crossed the
Oconee, and we-ro moving slowly and nervously
towards Sparta.
Three hundred prisoners arrived last eveaiug
from up the Georgia Railroad, and four hundred
more are to arrive ?■<-lay. These prisoner? report
a division of hree thousand cavalry has fol

constantly and picking up stragglers and captu

Hampton's invincible cavalry will be with ns
in a day or so and hang upon their eastern flank.
General AA’ayne has whipped Kilpatrick's divis

Reinforcements are constantly arriving, and
Gen. Hampton is on hand. Hampton, the great

The grand prize which was to be obtained in
case Augusta was captured, has bean removed.—
The powder works, arsenals, armories and ma

Disposal of an Alabama Renegade.
By the following proceedings in the Con
federate House of Representatives on the ITt'a
inst., it will be seen (says the Montgomery
Mail) that Mr. dis-Honorable IV. R. W. Cobb,
j member of Congress from this State has been
; expelled from the House. We presume it is
pretty generally known by this time that tho
individual had already expelled himself from
; this sublunary sphere.by a pistol shot
| his own hands.,"
1 Expulsion of W. R. IF. 'Cobb. —The Speaker
j announced that the first thing in order was
! the unfinished business of Wednesday—the
report of the committee recommendmg the ex
pulsion of Hon. Williamson R. W. v)obb, on
the charge of disloyalty. The House having
voted to hear the evidence, the clerk proceed
ed to read it. It embraces the testimony of
two or three witnesses, elicited on examination
before the committee, and the depositions of
some half dozen or more citizens of Alabama,
all tending to prove most conclusively and un
mistakably the disloyalty against Mr. Cobb.—
'The material facts set forth in the evidence
have already been published, and much of the
evidence is accumulative. To one of the in
terrogatories put by the committee to a wit
ness, a citizen ot Alabama, the following an
swer was given;
‘J know nothing except this fact, which was
related to me by Mr. , [we omit the name
for reasons of prudence—Rur.] who is now
within the enemy’s lines, and is a true man.—
He told me as the enemy were moving their
forces up to Chattanooga, just before the
Chicamauga fight, and were passing Cobb’s
residence, lie called upon them to unfurl the
United States flag, saying it was the last time
he expected to see it, and wanted it flung to
the breeze once more. He then took the flag
and embraced aud kissed it!
After the reading of the evidence, Mr. Chil
ton of Alabama, arose and read some extracts
which he had clipped from Northern papers in
relation to Mr. Cobb. One of the extracts was
an article from the Nashville Union, of Aug
2d, and another was a letter from Nashville
in the New York Tribune, both announcing
the arrival of Mr. Cobb in that city. The Tri
bune correspondent says the rumor got out,
in advance of his arrival, that Mr. Cobb was
coming, and that for several hours the whole
city was in a grin, thinking it was the Hon.
Howell Cobb who had probably fallen a pris
oner into their hands. But the delusion was
short—Mr. Cobb arrived and registered his
name Williamson R. W. Cobb. The corres
pondent then attrmpts a pen and ink portrait
of Mr. Cobb as he appeared in Nashville; de
scribes him as a tall, lank, slab-sided man,
attired in a full suit of soiled linen, trudging
along with a well filled haversack, looking al
together like a “Southern man in want of a
bath;” endorses him as a good Union man;
says that he enjoys the confidence and respect
of the Union men, and winds up by labelling
ing him a man of “unquestionable loyalty.”
Mr. Chilton said that with all this evidence
before the House, it would hardly be necessa
ry for him to say a word. He reviewed the
points in the evidence showing that Mr. Cobb
could have been here had he so desired; that
every witness before the comittee testified that
he was a disloyal man; one witness testified
that he had taken the oath of allegiance to the
Yankee Government; that the whole evidence
went to show that he was on terms of social
familiarity with the enemy; that he had volun
tarily gone into their territory, and was living
with them. Under these circumstances, Mr.
Chilton said it would not be right if the
House should suffer Williamson R. W. Cobb
to be a member of that body, and he there
fore moved his expulsion.
Some discussion arose here whether it would
be best for the House to pass the resolution of
expulsion or to have it so modified as to de
clare the seat of Mr. Cobb vacant;
Mr. Foote of Tennessee, contended that the
House could not expel Mr. Cobb, as he had
never taken his seat in that body—that a man
could not be expelled from a place which ha
had never occupied: that the House could on
ly pass a resolution declaring Mr. Cobb’s seat
vacant, and that he preferred such a resolution
to a direct resolution of expulsion.
Mr. Clark, of Missouri, and Mr. Chilton of
Alabama, urged strongly the resolution of ex
pulsion.
Mr. Leach, of North Carolina, thought the
resolution of expulsion, as reported by the
committee, was the best of all the resolutions
he had heard proposed. It met the thing
squarely and fully. What the House wanted
to do was to rid itself of Mr. Cobb, and this
resolution ol expulsion did the thing mo3t ef
fectually. He preferred it and should vote
| for it.
| The question recurring on the adoption of
| the resolution of expulsion, it was carried by
| a unanimous vote.
The Speaker announced that more than two
; thirds had voted, and that the Hon. William
| son R. W. Cobb, wa3 expelled as a Repre3en
| tative in the Confederate States Congress from
i the State of Alabama.
