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. Your suffering feilow-citizans. E. P.

W r e refrain from making a more j definite statement, as it has reached us, but we are warranted in assuring our readers that the official advices from Georgia are as favorable as we could expect. ’ LATEST FROM THE NORTH.

LATER FROM EUROPE: Richmond, Nov. 24. — European advices to the 11th received. The Bank of England has reduced its rate of discount to eight per cent. The Liverpool cotton market was buoyant, with an advance of one penny on American. Breadstuff's were firmer. At the Lord Mayor’s banquet, Palmerston said he trusted the parties contending in Amer ica would soon find it better to be reconciled than to fight, and that those disputes which have bedewed America with blood, will be settled by amicable arrangements between themselves. [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 lowed them all the way dashing upon them constantly and picking up stragglers and captu ring wagons. 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 ion A' the Oconee bridge, driving them headlong and ia confusion. He thinks that he is ponectly able to take care of h’mseM. AY heeler, with many thousand men, has in tercepted the enemy at a point at preseui U'J nmntionabia, and is g>tng them no rest night or day.

Tho last car load, we un derstand, left to-day. - » Baldwin, Fla., Nor. 27.—A flag of truce came last night from Jacksonville. Brute Butler is now Secretary of War. The Yankees are very uneasy about Sherman’« army. 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. Maj. S. J.
