DAILY TIMES. J. W. M limiiV, ... Editor. COLUMBUS: Monday Morning, December 12,1864. The Teachings of Adversity. All nations which have risen to renown, and have left their name in history for the in struction and guidance of the world, (says the Charleston Mercury j have passed through the furnace of severe trial and bitter suffering, the only portions of history which are worth reading, or worth remembering, are those por u tions which, portray the struggles between right and wrong—liberty »uu oppression.— The disgusting details of despots and their despotism are only valuable because they may be abhorred. But the life of history—in the development of its grand utilities—consists in its moral teachings, and the sublime exhi bitions of character in maintaining tnem. It is a sad reflection, but it is 'rue, that the greatest benefactors of the world have been generally those whom it has most prosecuted. And it is the same with nations; for nations are but tbe aggregates oi individuals, and ex hibit the passions of individuals. The United States presents the spectacle of an avaricious, unprincipled, arul enraged oppressor. All these passions prompt them to conquer, if j.os* sible, the Confederate States. And the Con federate States may have immense deal of dif fering to encounter, before they shall defeat their nefarious intents. The struggle, howev er. will noi be without its uses. It may make t! om sip- rf(!Ct by suffering.” They will learn what subjeetion to the United States is, by jhe sorrows and blood with which they may fill our laud. They may rightly estimate the necessity of an eternal separation from the United States, politically, socially and com mercially, from the deadly hatred and con tempt they will inspire. They may more lightly prize that liberty and self-government which is won after our country is invaded, our seaboard ravaged, our homes desecrated, and whole hectacombs of martyrs have perished in their defence. South Carolina may be des tined to go through trials in the maintenance of her rights. The enemy is on her soil; she is regarded as a special subject for vengeance, because she has been foremost in resisting their robbery, tyranny and fanaticism. If we be equal in our great destiny, we will benefit in character and grow in heroic virtues under the item teachings of our present adversities.— *We will make and will leave a name which other generations shall mark and admire. Os the Geuerals who fell at Franklin in the recent battle we make the following brief mention : Major General Pat Cleburne was a native of Ireland. He had resided in Arkansas many years before the war, and was' a lawyer by profession. Brigadier General Strahl, was, we believe, » native of Ohio, but was residing in Tennes see at the commencement of the war. Major General Gist was a South Caroli nian, Brigadier General Cordon was a Tcnuessee an by birth, but until the commencement of hostilities had resided some years in Texas. At that time he returned to Tennessee and rrtistMi u coiiipany. General Granbury was from Tex as, but whether n native or not we do not re nte in ber Major General Quarles was a Virginian by birth, bui from boyhood had been a resident ot Tennessee.. He was a lawyer by profession and had only recently received his promotion *s Major General, lie is reported mortally wounded. Major General John C. Brown, a Tennessee an. n. 1 wyer by profession. He is report ed only slightly wounded. I'rb Cuahbston Road.—There was heavy fight iujg av.,iia yesterday, at two points on tho t hat-lei ton and Savannah railroad—at Coosa watchia a.sJ between there and Pocataligo—and the report is that the enemy were again success fully repulsed. They are leaving no stone un turned to get possession of that work, but we have a good prospect of defeating their purpose in the future as we have in the past. From all we can learn, there was some unneces sary exposure of our men in small bodies in tho Tuesday’s fight, and we suffered considerably from the error.— Suv. Rep. Bth. Wo take the following items from the Chronicle and Sentinel of the 6th : From Below. —The mail agent who went down t > Green’s Cut on the Augusta and.Savannah rail road yesterday, reports that no firing had been hoard during the day. A largo body of Confede i-aio cavalry crossed at that point, pursuing the retreating foe. J/ore Prisoners. —One hundred and twenty six prisorers reached here Sunday, captured by Gen. Wheeler near Waynesboro. They will never be exenangod, as we understand that as far as this lot are concerned tho black flag is raised and they will be executed. They were barley beeves and not blue bellies. m Still They Comb. —Yesterday morning about eight o’cloe* another batch of Yankees was brought in by the Waynesboro Road, having been captured near L uisville. They numbered one hundred and twenty-two, men and boys, and a more rnotly looking set we have never se»‘>i. Old and young were there, and nearly every nationality in existence was repre sented. Their general appearance told very plain ly, thai tho Quartermaster and Commissary de partment of their corps had been sadly neglected, »s they were badly off for olothing and shoes, and all seemed to have an enormous appetite. T*G« p-’.r'y whs sefit to Columbia for safe keep ing. Most' of them belonged te the infantry branch ol xt.e service. From Tennessee. We are in possession of some additional in formation from Tennessee, giving some few particulars ot the fight at Franklin on the 30th ult. The attack was made at 4 o'clock v m on that day, and the entire outer works ot the enemy was taken, when night put a stop to the lighting. Under cover of the darkness, the enemy made a precipitate retreat to Nashville, pur sue t by our cavalry the next morning, leaving their dead and a portion of their wounded in our hands. We captured several stand of col ors and one thousand prisoners. Wuh the exception of the general officers idled, w uncled and captured on our side, •,vt uuv o.i intelligence of the losses Sustain ed by • u, r party. These are—killed, Gen era-s OUbtrne, Strabl, Adams, Granbury and Wounded—Gens. Quarles, Brown, Canty, Sco : i , M ungault and Cockrell. Gen. Gordon was cuouired. 9 U . un 3d. our army was within six miles of Nashv>tl* .n the Franklin turnpike. This in formation may be regarded as authentic. The Victory, o.thottglr dearly bought, is regarded as a d \ : and important one. A mm. was iu general circulation on our itreet-ye-wM-tay evening, to the effect that Gen. 1 \<i ■c. v aas in Nashville. This, howev er, needs confirmation, though it is not at all improbable that such is the fact.— Memphis Appeal, 10 th. 1 Richmond Doomed Again. The correspondent of the New York Tribune has discovered that. Richmond is soon to be • dbtroyed, if Grant will permit it. Gen Leo i w ou’t be asked any odds. The correspondent | says : A movement is now in progress ia this army which, when fully completed, wilt destroy Richmond. It only wails the sanction of the General-in-Chief, who will be here to-mor row, before active operations are commenced. It is not generally known, even among well informed military men, that the beleaguered Cap. «». ui rebellion is gun -hoi range I of our batteries; out such is nevertheless a ! fact. Guns are now on their way here that will throw shells into Richmond from our bat teries in front of the 18th corps, a distance of seven miles. With these gnns in position, and the projectiles prepared which it is intended to use with them, our gunners can destroy Richmond in forty-eight hours. The ball or shell now in use not, of course, an swer tie purpose, although that would doubt less accomplish the object in course of time. A particul u kind of shell has been prepared, and in this really consists the main feature of the proposed pluo. With such guns and shell in our possession, it would be folly, nay more, would be madness akin to sin uot to use them The plan has already met the approval of the general commanding this department, and it on;y waits the sanction and approval of Gen eral Grant previous to adoption. If adopted it will be at once carried out Do not be sur prised »o hear of the total destruction of Rich mond before Christmas. The Movements of Gen. Hood.— The N. Y. Herald of the 30th u!t., in commenting upon Hoodhj movements, says : Many intelligent persons may very nnturally dislike the appearance of the retirement of Thomas a§ Hood advances. But no fact can be more posi tive than ttat there is no reason in this for the least alarm. Sherman Contemplated that Hood should even go to the Ohio, and it is true that if he conld be drawn so far with forty thousand men Ik*, mere in Liier way in which we could de prive the rebellion of that force so cheaply and so easily. Thomas has now a large and veteran force in hand, and large reinforcements are within a striking distance. It is, therefore, not from any want of power to cope with the rebel General that he retires. On the contrary, he retires sim ply because, in his judgment, he can fight Hood to better advantage on other ground than any he has lately held; and his services and his success have been such that the country should have con fidence in his judgment as the very best that can be had on the military situation in Tennessee. Let no one listen for a moment to the vicious notion that there is a parallel sin the military prospects of the two powers, an that Sherman’s advances through Georgia is matched by Hood’s through Tennessee. There is no parallel at all. Sherman, with an immense, well equipped and well fed army, marches through a hostile country without any hostile foroe on his front, and goes towards abase where supplies and ammunition will meet him. Hood, with a small army, marches away from a base without the hope of any other, aqd with an army in front abundantly able to fight him, and if he should march as far as Sherman will that distance will insure his complete destruction. [Special Correspondence Memphis Appeal.] Letter from the Border, Grenada, Miss., Nov. 30, 1864. Between the recent order ot Washburne closing the lines around Memphis aud forbid ding trading with persons outside of the lines of occupation, and the late raid on the Missis sippi Central railroad, we have had consider able excitemeut here for the past few days. Many persons assert that the cause ofWasfi burne’s order closing the lines was the recent circular issued by Gen. Dick Taylor in regard to the exchange of cotton for supplies, and abuse him in round terms for issuing the same. I think the circular should have been issued long since, as it has had a tendency to put a stop to the large amount of illicit trad ing with the enemy which has heretofore ex isted, by annulling the contracts of those who had used the same for personal gain, and al lowing them a stipulated per cent, on the actual cost, besides stating what articles would be permitted to be brought within the lines,but that it had no connection wi ll Wash burne’s recent order I am satisfied, and that the latter was caused by some regulations of the board of trade issued in pursuance of an ordei from the Treasury Department. A del egation of those interested in mercantile pur suits has gone on to Washington to consult with Old Abe in regard to the matter. The raid referred to above struck the rail road at Vaughn’s station, on Sunday last, about two o’clock p. m., and after burning the depot, hotel and water tank proceeded up tbe road in this direction, destroying it as they came, burning the depots at Pickens and Goodman’s stations, After passing Goad man’s about two miles they camped on Mon day night, and yesterday retreated in tbe di rection of Yazoo City, at which point three transports that had accompanied the expedi tion were lying in wait for tbe cotton which was to have been stolen on the trip. The raiding force consisted of fifteen hun dred cavalry, with four pieces of artillery, and at last accounts Colonel Griffith, with 2,000 men, was in hot pursuit, while it was hoped that our forces from below, under Gen. Hodge and Col. John Scott, would be in time to cut them off. The exact amount of damage done to the road has not as yet been ascertained, but no important bridges have been destroyed, and General West, the President, informs me that the work of repairing wili be commenced at once. The Northern pres3 is on the rampage again in regard to the bold movement of Sherman, the speech of Beast Butler and the peace com missioners, who are to be sent to Richmond to invite us back into the Union provided we leave our slaves behind us or allow them to accompany us as equals. Price has succeeded in getting across the Arkansas with his army very much demoral ized, according to their statement—which I fear is nearer the truth than most of them. Pleasanton says of Curtis’ pursilit that, had it been abandoned the larger portion of Price’s army would have deserted before crossing the Arkansas, but were deterred from fear of fall ing into the hands of the Federals, and winds up by saying that the pursuit, in addition to the enormous expense attending it, has driven 15,000 men into the rebel army who would not have been there otherwise. His own statements show that Price, after all the ter rific defeats he sustained, had succeeded in recrossing with 15,000 more men than he en tered the State with. From the number of “beautiful young boys” and girls “to give away” and “be adopt ed out,” advertised in the New’ York Herald, I should judge that morals were at a low ebb in Gotham. Major Wolfe who was to have heen shot on the 11th inst., for the alleged murder of Major Wilson, in Missouri, has been reprieved by Lincoln. What’s in the wind now ? Brute Burbridge is rivaling the palmiest days of Bntler, in his administration in Ken tucky. According to a recent order of his, any officer treating a guerilla (?) as a prisoner of war, will be arrested and puuished ; and for every Union man killed by guerillas, four Southern sympathizers are to be shot, and for every negro, two. I learn from Col. Morris, that the road will be in operation next week. SPK CIAL. The Gvlf Stream. —The warm water rushes out of the great Mexican cauldron through the Strait of Florida—having a temperature ot 84 degrees, equalling that of the hot springs of Matlock, and whose width is a hundred miles —with a velocity of from three to five miles an hour. Thence it passes through the Straits of the Bahamas, and then tight on to the banks of Newfoundland, spreading it self over the western half the North Atlantic, which is thereby heated in winter consider ably’ above the temperature which it would otherwise hare Arrived at the batiks of Newfoundland, the Gulf Stream, a? it is called, is suddenly deflected to the east; and, be coming divided, one portion makes ahead southward iu the direction of the Azores, aud fiually merges into the great equatorial cur rent : whilst the other portion runs northwest I or N. N. E., until it impinges against *he wes ! tern shore' of the British 1 •« it has ; the effect of charging the air w.• u manure, i and rendering their waters considerably mild !er than those of the eastern coast. The Gulf Stream, in its course across the Atlantic, brings with it West India seeds (Mimosa soandens, Dolicbos urens, eto.) and doubtless portions of trees, throwing them on the coast of De vonshire, the west of Ireland, the Hebridges and the Orkney Isles. It continues to give to Ireland its perpetual verdure, and to make Bute the Isle of Wight of Scotland. [For the Columbus Times.] Georgia’s Appeal. My sons ! my proud and gallant sobs ! Once more I call you to your guns ; Oppressed, invaded, I am bleediag, Is it in vain ? a mother’s pleading f Thy foes are pressing hard and fast; Their war-cries, and their bugle’s blast, Lord, tell us the impending fate That does each recreant heart await; Will you, cun you, longer steel Your hearts to old Georgia’s sad appeal ; 0, no, my sons! awake, awake ! Rise up for lore and honor's sake! Let every gale which snaps the hills, Let ever .- drop of blood which spills, Let sigh.-, arid dying groans, and wails Wafted i roni our border rales, Uurge y»u forward to the strife ; To strike for liberty—for life ! Though you be lather, son, or brother, You have ;> sister, wife or mother, Who proudy looks to your strong arm To shield them from approaching harm. Will you defond this sacred trust ? Unflinching stand and give the thrust ! Will you not deal the deadly blow, To crush this cruel, hearless foe ? Oh ! yes, my sons, I krow you’ll come When you have heard the rallying drum ; ’Tis pealing now! One moment, listen, Then seize your arms and make them glisten; Be quick ! For fatal is delay ; Prepare to struggle night and day. The vandat’s tread is on our soil. Bo valiant, and he must recoil, In single combat or in group, Stand hovering around his flanks ; Send death and woe into his ranks; Attack in front, attack in rear, Be watchful, and be always near. Ask God’s guidance to attend, While you are striving to defend A mother, sister, wife, or friend, And he will, surely, blessings send. Awhile the clouds may lowering seem, And blood may as the waters stream ; The brilliant star of hope may wane, While you retreat from plain te plain ; Despair not patrtots ! persevere ; ’ At darkest hour, day-dawn is near, Give not your hearts to doubt aud dread, Tho’ dark may seem the sky o’er head ; Behind the clouds the sun is shining, Tho’ dark, they’re fringed with silver lining ! Ne’er did the storm-swept ocean lash Against its beach with such a crash, But that the waves could e’en be stilled, When the God of earth and sea, so willed- Then let no history e’er record, That you delayed to draw the sword, While your mother, scarred and bleeding, Protection from her sons was needing. The storm will come—the struggle’s near ! Let no one falter, no one fear ; Wheu smoke the battle-fields shall come, When war-clouds, thick, around you hover, When foes their banners shall unfurl, And shot and shell around you hurl— Stand, staud like a wall of solid stone, Remembering, you are not alone. May God’s arm make the freeman’s strong, Then fast avenge your enemy’s wrong ! Then think of how your foes have waged, With insults gross, and hordes enraged, A war, wnose vile and brutal end, Is but to force my sons to bend, Beneath the despots iron heel, Each brow to stamp with the coward’s seal, Rise up brave men! thy foes drive back ! Their blood should mark their every track, Then sotm the sun of Peace shall beam, And in its bright effulgence gleam Upon these hills and rales of ours, Homes of the free ! the land of towers ! Rise ! plant your war-worn battle-flag, From sea board sand to mountain crag ! “Junius.” A Story of Gen. Sherman. The Baltimore Clipper tells the following story: A distinguished official who was lately at the headquarters of Gen. Sherman, gives us the following anecdote of the latter, in the neceesity under which he lay of sitting in judgment on a certain class of men in Atlanta, when that place was evacuated by the citizens. Writing us, our friend says: Let me give you a little incident which took place in my presence at Sherman’s headquar ters, Atlanta. You will remember that an order was pro mulgated directing all civilians to leave At lanta (North or South) within twelve days.— The day of its issue, a gentleman entered Sherman’s office and inquired for the general. The latter answered in this way, very prompt ly, “I am Gen. Sherman.” The colloquy was very nearly as follows : Citizen—General, I am a Northern man, from the State of Connecticut ; have been living in Atlanta for nearly seven years ; have accumulated considerable property here ; and as I see that you have ordered citizens to leave within twelve days, I came to see if you would make an exception in my case. I fear if I leave, my property will be destroyed. Gen. Sherman—What kind of property do you own sir? Perhaps I will make an excep tion in your case, sir. Citizen—l own a block of stores, three dwel lings, a plantation two miles out of town and a foundry. Gen. Sherman—Foundry, eh ! what have you been doing with your foundry ? Citizen—Have been making castings. General Sherman—What kind of castings ? Shot and shell, and all that kind of things ? Citizen—Yes, I have made some shot and shell. Gen. Sherman—You have been making shot and shell to destroy your country, have you? and you still claim favor on the account of being a Northern man ? Yes, sir, I will make an exception in your case; you shall go South to-morrow morning at sunrise. Adjutant,- see that this order is carried out. Orderly, show this man the door. Citizen—But, general, can’t I go North ? Gen. Sherman—No, sir. Too many of your class there already, sir. Another Yankee Mcp.der.— It is with much regret, says the Savannah Republican, that we hear of the death of Dr. William Jones, a prominent citizen of Burke county. He,was killed a few days ago by the enemy, under circumstances of brutality, that, if pos sible, should render them still more odious.— It was said that he was at Station No. 9, Cen tral Railroad, and, seeing the enemy coming up, mounted his horse and ‘rode off. The en emy opened fire on him, and he fell from his horse riddled with balls, and expired iu a few ; minutes. : . Dr. Jones was well knowu and highly es teemed in this city, having resided here for some time as a member of the Medical Exam ining Board. He was in the meridian of life, I possessed of a large estate, and left a young ) and interesting family to mourn his lose. j TELEGRAPHIC. RBPORTB or THB PRBSS ASSOCIATION.

Respectfully, . How the Yankee Government Treated our Prisoners in the Ohio Penitentiary. One of our returned prisoneis, who had been confined for a time in the Ohio Penitentiary, brings tho following copy of the “rules and regulations” that were observed by the Fed eral authorities towards our men who were confined there: Notice.—The following rules and regula tions will be observed in the treatment of the rebel prisoners of war confined in this prison: I. Roll-Call. —The roll will be called daily as follows: 1. After unlocking in the morning. 2. After breakfast. 3. After dinner. 4. Before locking up. Prisoners will present themselves at roll call promptly, in proper order and without unavoidable noise. No excuse for absence will be valid, except confinement in the dun geon or the hospital. 11. Locking Up. —At the proper signal, each prisoner will take his stand in the door of his cell, where he will remain until the guard who locks him up arrives, to whom, if requested, he will give his name in a proper manner, then go in and close his door tor locking. 111. Lights. —No lights will be in any cell after the proper hour, except by order of the warden. No talking or noise allowed after the convicts are locked up, and no prisoner will sleep with his face covered. IV. Conduct. —Prisoners are strictly forbid den to indulgfe in certain privileges, described as follows: 1. To go into each other’s cell. 2. To make avoidable noise, either in talk ing or otherwise. 3. To play at disallowed games. 4. To converse in the dining- room. 5. To converse with convicts, on any pre text, or for any purpose. 6. To converse with guards, except briefly in making known their necessary wants. 7. To be insolent or insulting in the use of language. 8. To abseut themselves at roll call. 9. To crowd upon the surgeon, stewart, or other person, while transacting business. 10. To order the funds for their use to be placed in the hands of any one except the au thorized agent. 11. To transact any kind of business with any person, or to receive anything without permission from the warden. V. Correspondence. —No person will be permitted to write more than two letters in any week. No letter to be of more than one page of common letter paper in length ; to be without interlining or cross lining. To be address to a near relative, of a strictly private nature, and subscribed by the writer’s name in full. Others, exoept written by the per mission of the warden, will be destroyed. VI. Special. —The warden may, from time to time, permit one copy of a newspaper ex tract or telegram to be given to prisoners, which, after examination, will be returned by the guard to the office. A failure to make re turn to the guard by the prisoner will involve the withdrawal of this order. VII. Guards. —Allguardsand other persons, except those assigned or permitted by the warden to attend to this special duty, are for bidden to hold any intercourse with the pris* oners of war, or to intrude upon the quarter of the prison in which they are confined. The guard iu charge will report all persons viola ting this rule. VIII. The furnishing of supplies to prison ers of war, by gift or purchase, having been forbidden by the Hon. Secretary of War, none such will be delivered until further orders. Nathaniel Merion, Warden. Office Ohio Penitentiary, Columbus, November 12, 1864. All letters sent to office on Mondays and Fridays. The following shows what harm the “States Convention” men are doing our cause, by ex citing the hopes and zeal of the enemy: ORGANIZATION OF A PEACE PARTY IN THE REBEL STATES. We learn that quite an extensive intercourse has grown up between Macon and Atlanta. The latter place and vicinity is entirely re lieved from the presence of the enemy, as is, also, the line of the Macon and Western rail road. The trains of the latter run to a point about ten miles above Griffin, and repairs on the intervening distance are progressing as rapidly as possible. The Southern Express company has opened it3 office; Col. Howard has been making preparations to open the post office, and an early issue of the Intelligencer is expected. There will, therefore, soon be some evidences of civilization amid the deso lation left by the vandals in the Gate City. We notice that some of our cotemporaries i of the Press are exhibiting a very great want j of confidence in the result of the present cam- i paign. Their stomachs appear to be turned | and the rebellion with them is at a discount.-! Sherman’s movements have dislocated their j joints and thrown them from their equilibrium. They snuff danger in every gust of wind, and expect the news of disaster by every mail.— We observe in them the singular fact of bone changed to gristle-. Their spinal vertebrte has softened and will not hold their bodies erect. They start at shadows and see fright ful gobblins on every side. In their fright | and desperation they denounce and villify the administration for not protecting them against the appearance of these horrid spectres. — They do not seem iu understand that the ter rors which b<-set them are merely the creatures of a diso.dered imagination with which the government has nothing to do. They cannot comprehend that Thomas is on the eve of an uihdition and that Sherman is doomed to dis appointment and defeat. The scare upon them Las assumed the chronic form and seems to be incurable. We hope that the events of the next tw > weeks will show that our cause is not in the terrible condition these despond ing patriots apprehend, but the Confederacy'' is moving along in a cloudless sky of victory, and that our independence is assured.

It seems that he was playing with the gun, and without knowing it was loaded, snapped it at the little girl, when it went off. the load taking effect in her head, from which she expired immediately.

PROSPECTUS OF THE COUJITRYMAM, NILES’ Register, the most useful journal ever issued in America, has been revived in the pub lication of The Countryman. This journal is a fas simile of its original, in the number and size of its pages, its typography,and all the features which gave value to the standard publications issued by Mr, Niles. Besides the features of Niles’ Register, the Cou»- trjman has others which should render it still more attractive—to-wit: a department of elegant litera ture, rejecting the style of Yankee literary journals, and modeling itself after the best English miscel laneous weeklies, Zbut at the same time, being stamped with an independent, Southern tone, origi nal with and peculiar to itself. An altogether novel feature with it, is that it is published in the country on the editor’s plantation, nine miles from any town or village, and devote* much attention to agriculture, rural sports, and everything that interests tho country gentleman. The Countryman is a handsome quarto, ofsixtes*. pages, published weekly on the editor’s plantation, near Eatonton, Ga., to which all communications should be addressed. Our terms are $5 for three months, or $39 par annum. Send all remittances by express. J. A.
