COLUMBUS:
f nesday Morning, December 20, 1864,
Bungling. —The bogus Legislature of Loui
siana blundered in their efforts to have that
State represented in the Yankee Senate. The
Louisiana corn spondent of the Register says:
The Legislature in New Orleans, in electing
Mr. King Cutler to the United States Senate,
elected him “to fill the unexpired term of Hon.
*John Slidell,” and Mr. Smith, the St. Mary's
carpenter, to fill the unox;dre-1 **rm of Mr.
Benjamin. Three weeks after >v ads it wasdis
aoveted that Mr. Slidell’s “term" expired in
1862. As it was chronologically impossible
to fill an “unexpired” term which expired in
1802, Mr. Cutler’s enemies (for even so great
a man as lie has enemies) claimed that the
election was void. The Legislature, however,
interposed,‘and ivinjvvd this trifling objection
by declaring Mr Cu f l<*r '•lectfcd. any way to
serve ns long a- Mr. Slidell woul i have serve]
ifhehad noi e.wnmitied treason, (which would
probably have been all his life.) A nice as
sembly of statesmen is that Yaukee Legisla
ture in New Orleans.

What the Yankees Say ok the President’s
Message. —The following, from the New York
World, will serve to point out the tendency oi
public opinion in Yankeedom with regard to
the President’s message:
The closing paragraphs of Jeff. Davis’Ynes
sage have attracted a considerable degree of
attention here. These paragraphs .are devoted
to the peace question, which is treated by
the rebel President as it never was before. If
you examine attentively the structure of his
sentences you can not fail to be struck with
the particular form in which the possibil of
peace with the North is presented. Contrary
to the phraseology used in his previous mes
sages, Mr. Davis does not consider the recog
nition of the independence of the South as the
only way by which peace can be reached; but
he substitutes for the wprd independence the
right, which makes considerable difference.
Every one here has noticed this peculiarity in
the message, and is disposed to find in it the
forrunner of a coming peace.
‘•John Pope, Maj. General,” Galvanized into
Life again.
The following from the City Point corres
pondence of the Herald shows how Grant has
resurrected John Pope, the fugacious “Major
General,” and how he is about to galvanize
him into the semblance of a military com
mander once more. We doubt whether our
gallant soldiers would desire anything better
than to see this Bombastes in the field :
City Point, Dec. 1, 1864.
Gen. Pope.— Gen. Grant was accompanied
from Fortress Monroe by Maj. Gen. John Pope,
former commander of the Army of the Poto
mac, who was summoned to Washington last
Thursday, and sent thence to Gen. Grant for
assignment to active service.
Since his retirement from command of the
Army of the Potomac, Gen. Pope has com
manded the Department of the Northwest,
embracing that Indian territory, with head
quarters at Milwaukee, and won the good opin
ion of all with whom he came in contact.
Now, that time has softened the asperities and
animosities attending his removal, the Presi
dent acts wisely in placing General Pope in
some position where his gallantry and soldier
ly ability may again be called into play. Af
ter a day’s conference and consultation with
General Grant, he returned to Washington at
five o’clock last evening on the steamer Key
port, to await the final action of the War De
partment in assigning his command. There
are many speculations concerning it; but no
one probably kuows but General Grant him'*
self.
Imbroglio in Mississippi. —The Jackson
News of the 13th saya :
Wo learn that the Secretary of War has de
manded all State troops between the ages of
seventeen and fifty be mustered in as reserved
troops under command of Brig. General Bran**
don Gov. Clark, we learn, has refused to
turn them over, and there will be considera*
b!e skirmishing between the parties before the
matter eu is. If the demands of the Secreta
ry of War is acceded to, a large number of
agriculturists will be thrown in the field for
three years, and we soar that such a policy
would produce evil results for the State and
tortlie country. It is impossible for a man
to serve two masters, and the State troops
enlisted and sworn in under the laws of the
State must preserve their status until finally
disbanded. We are willing to admit that the
Government has lost a considerable number
of the troops by the State organization, but a
majoi i.y of these troops never could have
been reached except for State organization,
and they are now doing good service. On the
whole we think the demand of the Govern
ment unreasonable, and we trust the
or will resist firmly all attempts to disband
his troops—which would virtually be effected
by yielding to the demand of the Secretary of
War. The Government claims the troops un
der the act ofl’Dli February last. We pre
sume me whole matter will undergo judicial
investigation— probably tried under a habeas
corpus, and if decided against the Governor
will be taken up to the supreme court.
From Louisiana. —The Herald contains the
following intelligence from Louisiana and else
where :
By the arrival of the Evening Star, from N.
Orleans 26th ult., we have interesting news
from the Gulf. The report of the arrival of
the rebel Captain Semmes at Bagdad, is con
firmed. He arrived at that place on the 11th
ult., and immediately crossed the Lio Grande,
on his way to Richmond.
At Baton Rouge, on the night, of the 23d
ult., a portion of the penitentiary building
was destroyed by fire. One hundred and forty
mule.-,, forty horses and seventy-five
harness were consumed.
It is reported that the rebel General Forrest
has issued an order prohibiting the troops
from firing upon unarmed transports.
m ♦
Old General Wool turns up again as the
commander of a department on the Canadian
frontier. Fifty odd years ago, “Lieutenant”
Wool achieved his first military laurels on the
same frontier, at the storming of Queenstown
Heights, his regimental commander being
u Colonel Winfield Scott.
General Stoneman in and Difficulty.
I he New York Tribune contains an account
ot the attack upon the Yankee Gen. Stoneman,
i oi raiding notoriety, at Wellsville, Ohio.
Stoneman was just from the Libby prison in
Richmond, and therefore the treatment, under
the circumstances, was regarded as peculiarly
outrageous. The Tribune says Major General
Stoneman stopped at the bouse of a man
named Dean, at Wellsville, Ohio, with his
family, To get some tea, and took bis colored
nurse in with him to feed his child, as well as
to give her something to eat, as we had not
time to get anything at Pittsburg. We had
nothing fiomthe time we left Alatoona. When
they went in the room was nearly empty, and
they seated themselves at the extreme end.
! An elderly woman stepped up and said they
did not ailow “niggers’ to sit at the table with
white folks. General Stoneman remarked that
it was only his own family occupying the ta
ble. “1 don’t care, sir, we don’t allow them
to sit at the same table here with white
folks ” Gen. S. replied : “Well, let her have
i another table alone, as 1 wish her to feed my
i child. Elderly lady: “No, sir, 1 will do no
r-ucb thing. Niggers are not allowed at all in
; tins room.'' And the nurse sat back from the
: table. Nothing further was said upon the
! matter. In a few minutes the proprietor came
along and accosted General Stoneman with :
“I want your fare, sir,” naming the price.
Gen. S. replied : “I will give it to you as soon
as I finish, as my time is short.” Proprietor
retoits: “Are you not going to do as other
people do ?” General S. replied : “Certainly
I am to pay you, but as I said before, I wish
to eat as lain late and will pay as soon as I
finish. But Ido not think you treat the pub
lic with proper courtesy, as I was insulted by
a waiter about a servant when I came in,
and”—Proprietor interrupting him—“ Who
insulted you ?" “That lady,” pointing to the
elderly woman before referred to. Proprietor :
“Who did she insult you over?” General S:
“That woman who is setting there, who is my
servant.” Proprietor then struck Gen. Stone
man between the jaw and ear, knocking his
head round on one side; another man, a
brother of his, struck him on the cheek on the
other side and clenched his left hand in the
General’s hair, and dragged him off his chair,
stunned and bleeding as he was, both kicking
and knocking ijira, he being partially dragged
on his knees, his arms hanging by his sides,
and unable to make the least resistance or de
fence. While his wife pleaded with them for
her husband, one of them rudely thrust her
away, and continued to pound and kick him,
saying at the same time they would kill him.
Tennessee Sketches.
The Yankee journals give the following
brief sketches of the principal towns in Ten
nessee, through which Hood’s army passed,
and of Franklin, where the late battle occur
red :
TULASKI.
The Yankee forces under General Richard
W. Johnston evacuated Pulaski, on the 23d
ult., retiring upon Columbia. Pulaski is the
seat of justice of Giles county, Tennessee, and
at the beginning of the war had a population
of over eleven hundred persons. The war has
probably increased this population, doubtless
changing the character of the inhabitants, as
it generally has done in the principal cities
occupied by us. Pulaski is handsomely built
and beautifully located on the east fork of
Richland creek, an important branch of Elk
river.
COLUMBIA.
Columbia, Tenn., abandoned by the the Yan
kee forces on the night of the 26th ult., is one
of the handsomest cities in the State, and is
located in Hae richest district of Middle Ten
nessee. It is the residence of Gen. Gideon J.
Pillow, Gen. Lucius J.Polk, and several others
of the Polk family of Tennessee; A. 0. P.
Nicholson, formerly United States Senator;
W. C. Whitthorne, the rebel Secretary of
State of Tennessee, and many other wealthy
and notorious rebels. The city i3 located on
the high and rolling ground south of Duck
river, which is here quite an important stream.
The population at the beginning of the war
amounted to three thousand.
FRANKLIN.
Franklin is a handsome town, pleasantly lo
cated on the Harpeth river, and is the county
seat of Williamson county. It has a popula
tion of about fifteen hundred inhabitants.
There are no public buildings of importance.
Franklin fell into Yankee bands in March,
1862, being captured by General Buell's army
on the march to Shiloh. It was evacuated in
the September following, on the retrograde
movement of the same army. During that
time it was several times attacked. It was
reoccupied for several hours on Dec. 12th, by
Gen. D. S. Stanley, then chief of Rosecrans’
cavalry. Several mills and varions other
property belonging to the rebels were burned.
The place was permanently occupied immedi
ately after the battle of Murfreesboro, and, as
a consequence, of Bragg’s retirement # from the
position.
The Continent an Iceberg. —Professor
Agassiz, in the Atlantic Monthly, cornea to the
conclusion that the continent of North Amer
ica was at one time covered with ice a mile in
thickness. The proof is that the slopes of the
Alleghany range of mountains are glacier
worn on the very top, except a few points
which were above the icy mass. Mount Wash
ington, for instance, is over six thousand feet
high, and the rough, unpolished surface of its
summits, covered with loose fragments, just
below the level at which glacier marks come
to an end, tells us that it lifted its head alone
above the desolate waste of ice and snow. In
this region, then, the thickness of the sheet
cannot have been much less than six thousand
feet, and this is in keeping with the same
kind of evidence in other parts of the country;
for, whenever the mountains are much below
six thousand feet, the ice seems to have passed
directly over them, while the few peaks rising
on the heights are left untouched. The gla
cier, he argues, was God’s great plow, and
when the ice vanished from the face of the
land, it left it prepared for the hand of the
husbandman. The hard surface of the rocks
was ground to powder, the elements of the
soil were mingled in fair proportions ; gran
ite was carried into the lime region, lime was
mingled with the more arid and unproductive
districts, and a soil was prepared fit for the.
agricultural uses of man. There are eviden
ces all over the polar regions to show that at
one period the heat of the tropics extended
all over the globe. The ice period is supposed
to be subsequent to this, and next to last be
| fore the advent of the year.

dtc20 —It
A large portion of Postmaster General Rea
’ gan’s report is devoted to the Southern Express
! company, which he charges with fraud on the
revenue of 1. is department, by carrying mailable
matter in defiance of law. This is quibbling
about a small matter. The most severe and strin
i gent laws to prevent this, are recommended; but
it is to be hope ! Congress will not heed the rec
ommendation. In consequence of the misman
agement of our mail system, the enterprise of the
Express company almost half the time places us
in possession of journals, from distant points, in
advance of the mail, and the public desire the
bei efit. Especially is it notorious that the Ex
press revives from interruptions caused by raiding
parties of the enemy, on almost every occasion,
days before the post office officials act. Every
body knows this, and everybody has been benefit
ted by it. We suspect the superior energy, en
terprise and accommodation manifested by the Ex
press company is i“the head and front of its of
fending” against Mr. Reagan, and believe if the
people were permitted to decide between the Post
Office Department, as now administered, and the
Express, the latter would be the favorite!
The Christmas Tree. —We have been request
ed to state that the Christmas Tree intended for
the little girls of the City School, will be prepared
at the African Methodist Church on Saturday next*
All persons wishing to contribute articles for that
purpose will please send to the Church during the
week. We trust a liberal response will be made to
this call,.and that the children composing this
school may be encouraged to)think usoro of them
selves and strive to merit the hospitality shown
them.
The City Cemetery. —A stroll through the
grave yard yesterday afternoon satisfied us that
Mr. R. T. Simons, as Sexton,is the right man in the
right plare. We have no recollection of ever
seeing our “Silent City of the Dead,” in such nice
cenditiou. The new enclosure especially cannot fail
to elicit the admiration of all who feel a pride in
the looks of the last resting place of their loved
ones. If o wners of lots in the old enclosure would
have them put in order, we could justly feel a
pleasure in pointing to our cemetery as one of
the handsomest in the South. The place is sus
ceptible of much improvement and Bob Simons is
the man for the business. Let the City Council
and people encourage him.
+ ■» ■»
Deab— We learn that Mr. Frank Henly alluded
to in our yesterday’s edition as having been shot
on Sunday morning by Willaim Dillon, has since
died.
Yesterday Dr. Romer advertised for information
of his son Frank—a ’ youth of sixteen—who had
mysteriously disappeared. The lad bad returned
to his hpme.
Last Monday, while preparing to leave it for
the College at Spring Hill, of which he is a stU
dent, a heavily bearded man approached him and
asked him certain questions, by which he was
enticed a short distance from his father’s house
As soon as he was beyond observation, the man
seized him by the throat, drew a pistol, and threat
ened his life unless he went with him quietly. The
lad had no alternative. The ruffian then searched
him and questioned him concerning the defences
of Moble, the number of forces here, <fcc. Thi s
information Frank resolutely refused to give. The
consequence was that he was obliged, at the peril
of his life, to go with the stranger. The two
slept that night in the ; and there Frank
resorted to a stratagem, which shows his resolu
tion and quick-wittedness. For a time he feigned
to be asleep. The man feeling secure, then fell
into a slumber. 2The boy, watching the opportu
nity, mad e movements to test the obvioqsness of
the rascal ; and, being assured, rapidly seized his
pistol. He had him thus at an advantage, and
thus marched him all the way to within a short
distance of Pascagoula, where he gave him up to
some scouts, who happened, opportunely, to make
their appearance. The boy returned to his home
yesterday, shaken in nerves and exhausted by his
long tramp and exposure to the inclemency of
| the weather. One instance exhibits his quickness
of apprehension and boldness. While crossing the
bridge on their way down the coast, the ruffian
made a movement to draw out a weapon from his
coat, as was supposed. The lad instantly drew
up for offensive operations, and actually made the
fellow draw off his coat and cast it over the bridge
into the river.
It is a very singular circumstance. 9 It is sup
posed that the scoundrel was a l'ankee, who de
sired to abduct the youth in order to convey him
within the enemy’s lines for the purpose of for
cing from him what information he had in res
pect of the defences and forces of the eity.

Richmond, Dec. 18th. —Nothing of interest
in the Senate in open session.
In the House, Turner’s resolution aud Barks
dale’s substitute were taken up. McMullen
offered a substitute declaring that, whilst it is
not expedient nor campatible with the dignity
of the Confederate States to send commission
ers to Washington to secure a cessation of
j hostilities, yet it would be eminently proper
i
that the House of Representatives despatch,
without delay, to some convenient point, a
body of Commissioners to confer with such in*
dividuals as may be appointed by the Govern
ment of the United States, if possible, upon
terms of a lasting and honorable peace, sub
ject to ratification of the respective Govern
ments, afid the sovereign States respectively
represented. McMullen addressed the House
in explanation of his views. Before conclud

The House resumed the consideration of the
currency bill. Foote occupied the floor until
adjournment.
LATEST FROM THE NORTH.
Richmond, Dec. 18th.—Northern papers of
Thursday received last night.
An official dispatch from Hilton Head on
the 10th says Howard, commanding the right
wing of Sherman’s army, had communicated
with four of his chief of scouts, having des
cended the Ogeechee in a small boat and thus
made his way to our lines. He left the army
on the 9th icst.
A dispatch from Howard says : We hare
met with perfect success thus far. Our troops
are in fine spirits.
Nothing of importance bad occurred at
Nashville.
On the 13th General Lyons wa3 moving on
Russellville.
In the Senate, on the 14th, Chancellor offer
ed a resolution denounciag the .release of the
St. Albans raiders, and authorizing the organ
ization of an army corps for the protection of
the Northern frontier from incursions of rebel
raiding parties.
Chandler also introduced a series of resolu
tions directing the Secretary of State to de
mand from the British Government payment
in full for all American vessels destroyed by
pirate ships from English ports. The resolu
tions were laid over.
In tbe House, the Senate bill authorizing
the purchase of six revenue cutters for the
lakes was passed.
Brooks made a long speech in favor of ne
gotiations for peace.
General Dix has issued an order in conse
quence of the discharge of the St. Albans
raiders, directing military commanders on the
frontier, in the event of similar raids, to pur
sue the marauders if necessary into Canada,
and if arrested there they are, under no cir
cumstances, to be surrendered.
A Montreal telegram of the 14th says the
St. Albans raiders left the city immediately
after they were discharged. The authorities
are taking steps to arrest them.
A Toronto telegram of the 13th says the
Lake Erie raiders were again before the
Court to-day but discharged, on the ground
that the Ceurt has no jurisdiction. The result
caused much excitement.
Mobile, Dec. 19th.—On the 18th our forces on
the Eastern Shore under Gens. Liddell, Calvin
Clanton and Arinistead, pursued and severely
punished the Pollard raiders; drove thorn beyond
Pine Barren Creek—capturing part of their trans.
portation and supplies. The road for ten miles
was strewn with the enemy’s dead. The damage
to the Mobile and Great Northern road is consid
erable, but will shortly be repaired. Tbe public
buildings at Pollard were burnt. An infantry
force of the enemy were at Franklin Creek near
Pascagoula yesterday, confronted by our cavalry
which, after heavy skirmishing, drove them sever
al miles.
Capt. Semmes of the Alabama arrived yester
day from the trans-Mississippi.
Important from Nassau. —The following ex
tract of a private letter from Nassau, conveys an
important hint:
“I am of the opinion that during this winter
blockaders will have more to fear frum enemies in
their crews than they will from the blockaking
fleet. Hundreds of Yanks are now here, and I
suspect that it is a settled plan to capture vessels by
strategem at sea. Spies are all around, and it
may be that you may hear of several Roanoke
affairs in the next moon. Aa attempt was thus
made to capture the Owl, which failed, and eight
of the crew are now in irons, and one es them
holding a Yankee commission as master’s mate.
This looks serious, but proper precautions on the
part of the officers will render these devilsh plans
abortive. Owing to the dubious character of Eng
lish neutrality, these mercenary minions of a
tyrannical Yankee Government will escape pun
ishment.
Nassau, N. P., Nov. 14, 1864.”
Sorghum Sugar. —Sorghum sugar, costing
nine cents per pound, made at Chicago, is now
on exhibition at the Agriculturist Department
in Washington. A Yankee journal says it has
the appearance of bright Havanna sugar, and
at the price stated, must find plenty of buy
ers.

The public interests require that a large amount

j employment of the Engineer Department, and to
I that end the recovery of Slaves who have runaway
and the additional impressment of one able-bodied
! Slave out of every five between the ages of 18 and
j 45 years, has become necessary,
That the interests consulted may be the better
served, it is declared incumbent upon the owners or
employers of runaways that they secure the prompt
return of such; arid that every inducement in their
power be given, that may conduce to the conten
ted performance of tbe services required of tbe
Slave.
In all eases where it may appear evident that the
owners have failed to use proper dilligence in the
return of such as have runaway; the party im
pressing are ordered to impress from them double
the number they otherwise would be required to
furnish.
Every effort within the control of the Government
is being exerted to render the con iition of the slaves
whilst on this duty as comfortable as possible. 'Ade
quate hospital accommodations are being [prepared
: by the Surgeons of this Dopartuient for such as may
j become sick, and competent assistants will accom

Runaways from the hospital will be classed with

when their condition will permit.
