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.

Also the comments thereon indulged in by the Richmond press of the Bth. Considering tbe difficulties of running the blockade, this was speedy work. Preparations to Oppose Sherman. —A Washington dispatch of Sunday says : “Infor mation received here shows pretty conclusive ly that Early has been with his entire force from the Valley, to send to Savannah by rail, and that about 10,000 more have been detach ed from Lee’s army and sent South, and that an army ot about 30,000 is to be improvised under Ewell, to get between Sherman and the Atlantic coast.” The Augusta and Savannah Railroad, so called, extends from Augusta to Millen, a dis tance of 53 miles. At Millen it intersects the Georgia Central Railroad, extending from Sa vannah to Macon. Millen is 79 miles from Savannah, and 111 miles fiom Macon. Postscript. —Just as we go to press, says the Floridian and Journal of the 10th, we learn that a cavalry force of the enemy struck the jGulf road at King’s bridge, en the Ogechee, and completely de stroyed it. No further particulars. The news comes from a reliable source, and is entitled to full credit. We learn that the Western & Atlantic Road is in running order as far as the Etowah.

It is reported that Secretary Stanton is still so ill that his physicians consider it necessary that he should, for some time to come, relinquish entirely his attention to the official duties of the War De partment. The Recent Yietory ii East Tennessee. The Yankees are in a critical situation in Knoxville. Gillem’s command is there, and cannot receive any reinforcements, as all the troops in Tennessee have been sent to Thom as. Gillem’s headquarters are in the old Fair Ground of tbe town. A letter in the Knoxville Register*gives an interesting account of Gen Breckinridge's recent victory near Morristown. General Vaughn moved around to the rear of the euemj and General Bazil Duke was to at tack in front. Tbe letter says: Everything worked exactly as it was ar ranged. The ridge was gained on the' morn ing of the 12tb, with but little resistance, and Gen. VAughn was promptly in the rear. Tbe point at which the ascent of the ridge was made, however, was about a mile from the enemy’s inner entrenchments. Our men were immediately formed in a line extending across it. The range is a very narrow one, having only room enough on top for a bridle path ; very steep on the sides, and intersected with ravines, with here and there a spur running out, to increase the difficulty of travelling it. As soon as our advance began, the difficul ties of the ground over which we were to more were seen at once, the thick underbrush and deep ravines rendering it impossible to pre serve a line. Our troops pushed forward, however, without regard to scientific adjust ment, and drove the enemy before them in a rambling flight for about three quarters of a mile—charged and took their first line of breastworks. The goal was nearly won. One more charge, and the hill which overlooked the enemy’s encampment would have been ours. But in counting our host for this la3t effort, it was discovered that about two-third3 of it had been lost in the underbrush. We began to hesitate, and the Yankees seeing it, immediately advanced upon us, and opened a fierce fire of grape and canister with their ar tillery upon the woods in which we had halt ed. There was no time to send back to bring up the stragglers. We were forced to fall back; which was done in good order, bringing our wounded and stragglers off the field with us. The attack of Gen. Vaughn in the rear, and of Colonel Crittenden in the front, were only intended as feints. The main attack having failed, theirs, of course, was immediately abandoned. We then moved back and occu pied the lines of the day before. The enemy, elated at their brief success, kept up a furious shelling, which did no other injury than to frighten a few of the weak-hearted and render a surgeon nervous who was dressing wounds in the rear. The next day, the 13th instant, passed off in perfect quietness. It was evi dent, though, that the enemy were very much disturbed about their situation. They bust led about, worked all day in plain view, forti fying their position, and giving us evidence of their intention to hold the gap in defiance; but the Major General commanding was not to be deceived by these preparations. About 9 o'clock, p. m., our whole force moved to the flank and rear of the enemy, through gap, Vaughn and Duke, with their cavalry, in the front. So confident were the enemy that our army was still in Bull’s Gap, and had not suspected their evacuation, they neglected to observe the road leading through L gap at all. The consequence was, that our cavalry took them completely by surprise, and struck their col - umn at Russellville, about 12 o’clock at night, cut it in two, and then Vaughn had a chase that has been rarely equaled on this continent. Information was obtained that the wagon trains and artillery were in front, and these things were what our boys hankered for. The moon w&3 at its full, and one of the clearest nights I most ever saw, just such a one as was desirable for the work ahead. The fight with I the enemy was uninterrupted in its progress from Russellville to Morristown, and a dead Yankee here and there on the roadside, the ' prisoners and other paraphernalia that were ! streaming back to the rear, told bow things ! were going on at the front. ! Ido not think I ever saw the blood of our ' boys more disturbed than it was in this pur suit Duke’s men fought splendidly, and not one of them was to be found anywhere except at his post.' While Vaughn’s boys, as they approached Morristown —tht scene of their late defeat —began to swell on a big rampage, the retreat of the enemy was becoming more and more rapid, and their efforts to protest it gradually slackening until about three miles west of this place, a charge was made upon 1 them bv Vaughn, which resulted in their ! complete route—abandoning il.eir entire wag on train and artillery, with horses and equip ments complete. The whole Yankee force was now dispersed. The main portion of it ! took to the woods and made their way to their i fortifications at Strawberry Plains through the bushes and by-path?. The result of this brilliant movement ha been : first, the complete rout and dispersion ; of the Yankee force operating in East Teunes see ; second, the capture of their entire trans portation and artillery, consisting of seventy wagons, richly loaded with baggage and equipments of the whole eomnetad, with their 1 teams »till attached to them ; six 11-pounder /FIVE DOLLARS 1 ;PER MOV Til. Parrott guns, in splendid order, with tbeir horses, and ammunition enough for a cam paign : eighteen stands of colors, three hun dred and sixteen prisoners, and about two hundred horses and mules. — « ♦ ♦ Whkklf.r's Generalship.— Thus far Wheeler lias done nearly all the fighting against Sherman’s grand army, indeed all except the disaster and the defence of Oconee bridge, having been aided by infantry in the latter- A correspondent of the Augusta Constitutionalist very justly says: “After this invasion let no one traduce the mili tary genius of Wheeler. On this march for rapid concentration and celerity of movement, lie has not been excelled by any commander. At Sandersvillo he struck tho advance of a large force of the enemy; drove back the mounted force upon its infantry; fell back ; crossed over to notify Wayne of his dan ger of a flank movement in time to save him and his command; heard of Kilpatrick on another route moving towards the Quaker Road for Waynesboro’; overtook and fought him with brilliancy and vim, and drove him in a gallop towards Waynesboro,’ the result of which is at this time here unknown. The fight and pursuit was made under great disadvan tage. Unfortunately, our people on that long line of travel, and in a wealthy country, failed to get off their horses and mules ; these supplied tbe places of the horses worn out in the chase, and none were left for the pursuers. Again the enemy, after resting and feeding their stock out of the abundance of the barns and cribs, destroyed the balance by tire, leav- I ing but little for Wheeler; but notwithstanding these great disadvantages, on he press and with great | speed and energy, from the first battle ground to the | last point arrived at by his party. The country was ! one vastlscene of desolation and ruin ; in many places nothing but dwellings are left upon the i farms.” ♦ Retaliation. —Brigadier General A. L.Lee, i commanding at Baton Rouge, and Brigadier General B. Hodge, commanding tbe Southern district of this department, have been indul ging in a spicy correspondence on the subject of retaliation. General Hodge says: Without presuming to question the extent or eminence of your fanfiliarity with I he scenes of diabolical cruelty which eharaoierized the early history of Kansas, I have only to say in reply, that, my troops are instructed to fire upon the enemies of their country whenever and wherever these enemies are found in arms, those instructions will be continued.— Your troops are at liberty to avail themselves ; of the same well established usage of war.— Should you aitempt to carry the contest be yond the recognized principles of civilized warfare, I have not only the means in the persons of many of your troops captured from your command and now prisoners within my control, but I shall venture to hope that I shall have the nerve to develop a course of conduct quite equal to the emergency which you may press upon me. +- » Fidelity of Southern Slaves. —This in vasion among other things has demonstrated (says a correspondent of the Augusta Con stitutionalist) one fact and that is, the gen eral devotion of our slaves to their owners.— Often upon the route in the rear of the ad-< vancing armies, large groups of faithful slaves could be seen shouting with joy upon being able to escape and return to “Old Master and Missus.” These nigger lovers, with unspeak able meanness? robbed the poor creatures of all the money they had, and in some instances ot hats and shoes. Heaven grant that the skill of our commanders, with the burning courage of our men, will strike a fatal blow to this “grand” and remarkable invasion. To t his we may add the significant fact that ihe Georgia negroes in Sherman’s rear are now arresting most of the straggling Yankees and delivering them up to our authorities.

This is unfortunately, enough to disoourage the friends of universal peace, and who can say they will not meet with still greater disappointment next year '! Italy, Hungary. Poland, Denmark, and the Slavonian population of Turkey, are not it must be confessed, in the most pacific humor, arid, to those who study tbe general situation of our continent, it is quite evident that the general situation, instead of getting better, goes on from day to day getting more and more complicated. The Greatest Duel on Record. —The fa mous duel in whie’n forty or more gentlemeu were engaged, in 1828, is still remembered in Natchez. Col. Jim Bowie, tbe famous fighter and inventor of the knife which bsars his name, used to spend a great deal of his time in Natchez. He was challenged by a gentleman of Alexandria, La., whose friends, to the number of twenty or more, accompanied him to Natchez to see lair play, knowing Bowie was a desperate man, aud had his own friends about him. All parties went upon the field. The combatants took their places in the centre, separated from their friends in the rear, far enough nottoen ‘anger them with their balls. Behold the battle array thus: Twenty Louisi anians fifty yards behind their champion and his seconds and surgeon, twenty armed Missippians. ' Behold the heights of Natchez thronged with spectators, and a steamer rounded to, its deeps 1 black with passengers, watching with a deep in terest the scene. The plan of fight was to exchange shots twice with pistols, and close with' knives, Bowie being armed with his own terrible weapon. At the first fire both parties escaped. At the second, the Loui sianian was too quick, and took advantage of . Bowie, who waited the word. At this Bowie’s seeend soon cried “feul play !” and shot the Louisi anian dead. The second \oi the latter instantly killed the slayer of his principal. Bowie drove his knife inte this man. The Emrgeons now crossed blades, while with lefad battle cries, came on two parties of friends, the light of battle in their eyes. In a moment the whole number were engaged in a fear ful conflict. Pistols and knives were used with fatal effect, until one party drove the ether from the field. Ido not know how many were killed and wounded in all, but it was a dreadful siaugh ter. Bowie fought like a lion, hat fell covered with wounds. For menths he lingered at the Mansion House before he fully recovered. Not Hkalthy for Masssaohusitts Mbs.— The Springfield (Mass.; Republican gives two cases of the latality of the Missouri climate to New England squatt-r? ; t “It is reportedttbsa f Rcr Joshua Boucher formerly of this county, who removed to Mis souri last spring, was killed a few day? ago by guerillas. Some rebel* seized him and ordered him to take tu«* o.itn cf abegiaucc, which he declined, no doubt very decidedly, when they shot him.

Sherman is sometimes subject to “flits” es hs ranity ; that it is the “hereditary passion es the house;” and if we mistake not he was once plaoed in a Lunatic Asylum. He is in a fair way new to land in a jail. We begin to believe that he is deranged. Thie is not the first expedition he has undertaken which looked like insanity. Surrounded by a complication of difficulties, his old complaint comes back upon him and his reason is dethroned. We are incline to the opinion that if he sought the sea fide, he could have attained it six days age. There was scarcely any obstacle if the advaneo had been pressed direct. We fully expected hina to go through, believing he could accomplish the I movement. He dallied too long. If we were a Northern gamblei betting upon his successes, we should draw the stakes now. Tho delay augurs favorably for the Confederates, who have beeu | listening every day to hear that he ha-1 turned up on the coast. But be didn’t turn up. We can hear nothing. We'cun imagine only the Federal army come to grief and starvation. Therefore, it is glorious news to us just now* to hear just nothing at all. The Mails. —We learn from the Augusta Constitutionalist that an arrangement baa been made by which the mails will be regu larly forwarded westward from that city. ! From the same paper we gather the pleasing intelligence that tho Georgia Railroad will be repaired throughout the entire rout to Atlan ta in the next forty days. Gov. Brown’s Aids. —A message from thß Governor of Georgia in response to a resolu tion of enquiry from the House, gives the names of his Aids-de-Camp, the nature of the duty performed by them, the necessity for the appointment, &c. It states that Col. Schley has been sent to Europe, Cols. Wilbur and Lamar are the active agents for the exporta tion of cotton and importation of supplies; Col. Lee and Captains Hendrix, McAdoo and Paxton are appointed to complete the “Roll of Honor,” and that it has been necessary t* appoint one Aid in each county, to assist the district Aids, since the militia have been call ed out. Mauy of these are not subject to con scription. Brutality of Sherman’s Army—A Dnrnia ble Reeord. The following narrative appears in the A.». gusta Register of the 2d. With our cotem porary we raise the cry of vengeance against the inhuman wretches : A gentleman arrived in this city yesterday evening who left Milleqlgeville on Tuesday morning. He says the State House, Executive Mansion and Miliedgeville Hotel have not been burned. The depot, Penitentiary and Arsenal were all the buildings that were burned. They burn all granaries and cotton they find in the conntry, and kill or carry off every .living thing that could pos sibly serve for food. The country is left a barren waste. Many families that oneweex age were comparatively wealthy have not now the means of sustenance. But the most hellish deeds that the infernal demons committed remains to be told, and wo think the paper should blush that bears tho record. We are informed that the incarnate devils ravished some of tho nicest Jadies in the town. We pen the paragraph with hor ror. Our blood runs cold as we write. Wo would forbear doing so, but we wish our peo ple to know the destiny that awaits them if the villains are allowed to continue their in vasion of the country. One of their uuforto* uate metima was, we learn, consigned to the asylum on Monday. Her reason tottered be neath the load of wounded honor, and the poor victim is ruined forever. How long ! oh, t how long is our country to be insulted by these savages ? In the name of justice and humanity we urge our people to vindicate their honor. We have a heavy score against our foemaa ; tilood will scarcely obliterate the record.— There have been deeds committed by these God-forsaken wretches, that should cause the heavens to peal a thunder-cry of vengeauee, and the earth to open and swallow the wretoh es, as it did the wicked Korah. But the earth would spew out such wretches ; the sea would disgorge them. Hell is scarce fit to domicile them. To our armies we would say, write on your battle flags, in broad, black letters, “ Avenge the honor of our Women!” Let it be em blazoned before the eyes of every soldier, and in the hours of conflict let it be the battle cry that goads our men on to deeds of valor which will crush out the foe and leave not a vestige of them save a,great stench in the land. At the sight of these words the guilty hound* who have ruined our homes and despoiled our w. men of their honor will quail and sink as before a mighty whirlpool, and the indigation of an outraged people will over whelm them. Then thunder it over the land until the rocks shall echo back the sound and the hills reverberate the echo, and every heart be filled with the fires of vengeance. Fire and Self-immolation. —Tho Vicevilla Academy, a two-story wooden building, was dis covered to be in flames about half-past two o’clock or Sunday morning, and was burned to its sills in tha course of an hour thereafter. ✓ Some negroes, tenants of a neighboring kitehea, say, late in the erening before, a drsmktn soldier came in, and cursiDg the dampness of the school house, took a fire-brand with him, and made ©i, swearing that he would make a fire to dry up the damp even if he burned up the d—d old Church. It is supposed that he made up his fire very carelessly in the second story of the building, and then sank into the sudden sleep ofinebriatioa, during which the brands rolled out and set th« building in flames. Stupefied alike by smeke and intoxication, the unhappy man was burned as he lay. The irons of his gun, his bones aad his heart, still unconsnmed, were found among the ashes and cinders and furnished certain evi dence of his awful fat*. There is toe much drink ing among the soldier? quartered arouud Mae*i, to say nothing about civilians. Let all take a lesson from this awful penalty for a single de bauch.— Teleg> aph & Con.
