New Daily Paper in Richmond.
Prospectus.
'I'UE undersigned propose to publish a daily pa
‘ per, under the title of “THE RICHMOND
HERALD,” on or about the 15th of January next.
It will be entirely independent in politics, but
will nevertheless accord to the administration a just
jupport in all measures which, in the opinion of its
conductors, may be deemed promotive of the good
of the cause in which we are engaged. A proper
sriticism of such acts as will be deemed adverse to
this object, will be. of course, consistent with the in
dependent character under which the paper is to be
inaugurated.!
In thi? matter of General Nows it will be found to
keep pace with the leading journals of the day, while
it will hav .added to it in the matter of financial in
telligent - feature such as we venture to say, no

below, as a stenographic reporter,
furnisnss, we presume, a guaran'ce that, in all that
relates toHmportant political speeches and debates,
whether in legislative assemblies .or out of them,
the "II ERA Ll)” will present advantages certainly
not to be xcelled by any paper in the Confederacy.
The farming interests will be faithfully vindica
ted, aud cure taken to disseminate the earliest in
telligence which a proper regard for the welfare of
that, great element of national wealth and power
•hall demand. .
In the matter of oorrecc commercial intelligence,
equal zeal shall be manifested, our object being to
assign to each of these departments an editor of
known experience and ability.
Arrangements are on foot by which to secure the
earliest foreign news, and the paper will contain
meb editorial talent as will fully elucidate the
bearing of foreign diplomacy upon Southern inter
'Slnshort, “THE RICHMOND HERALD” will
be found to combine every feature of interest
which the requirements of the present crisis de
mand.
The enterprise is respectfully commended to tne
favor and patronage of the citizens ofthe Southern

HO FOR ATLANTA !

Saturday Evening.
W# understand, gayn the Chronicle Senti
nel, that Sherman has given the citizens of
! Savannah fifteen daye grace to settle up their
bank and other accounts, which are to be bal
anced by Confederate Treasury notes. If this
report ig true, there will be but a few -open
accounts in Savannah after the fifteen days
of grace expires. Everybody and everybody’s
relations will be eager to square up at once.
I From the same paper, we learn that Kilpat
rick, at last accounts, was in Thomas county,
I in this State, with a large force of cavalry, de
vastating and laying waste as he advanced.—
It is thought that he intends to lay waste to
all Southwestern Georgia, and then to go in
! to Alabama.
Where is Wheeler, with his cavalry, that
they are not in pursuit of him ?
—»
From Sataknah.— A gentleman arrived in our
city Saturday, says the Chronicle and Sentinel,
who left Savannah on Wednesday. Everything
was quiet up to that time.
Gen. Slocum marched in on Wednesday morn
ing at the head of about three hundred men, and
posted guards around to protect the property.
No outrages had been committed.
It is thought that Gen. Sherman will not permit
his army to gc into the city.
It is said that Sherman intends to request all
residents to take the oath of allegiance. Those
who do so, will be allowed to remain, and their
properly will be respected. Those who refuse to
do so will be compelled to leave, and their prop
erty will ;be confiscated.
It was thought by some that the rice and cotton
would be taken possession of in the name of the
United States Government, and receipts given
therefor.
FURTHgR FROM SAVANNAH.
We have aet, as yet, received any detailed ac-
I count of the evacuation es Savannah. On Sun«
! day Sherman sent in a formal demand for the
surrender of the city. This was refused; and
forty-eight hours were demanded to allow the non
combatants an opportunity to leave the place.—
During Sunday night, Monday night and Tues
day night, our forces quietly abandoned the city,
bringing off all their wagens and field artillery,
destroying many of the Central Railroad
and also aU the previsions and forage between
Harderille and Savannah. All is quiet this side
of Harderille, our forces being advantageously
dispesed along the line of railroad.— Chat. Her
eury, 23 and.
Rumors. —The Selma Mississippian, 28th, says:
The city is rife with rumors, some of them so ab
surd that they are not worthy of mention. Thejre is
1 a report that Hood has had two engagements with
; Thomas, in which he repulsed him each time, and
! that Forrest had succeeded in capturing Murfrees-
I boro with the garrison. This report rises to the
I dignity of probability, but we have nothing which
i would cause us to give it full credit.
Raid on thk Mobilr and Ohio R*ii.road.—We
are credibly informed (says the Selma Mississippi,
28th) that a raid of two thousand Yankees moved
oqßfrem Memphis and struck tho Mobile and Ohie
railroad near Verona on Saturday last. We are not
advised as to the extent of the damage done, but
presume it is very slight.
Gen. Breckinridge has issued a proclamation which
declares that all inhabitants of East Tennessee who
are serving in the Armies of the United States, and
who before the Ist January, 1865, shall leave said
service, with the purpose of leading a peaceful and
orderly life, shall receive the protection cf the Con
federate authorities, and shall not be taken for
military service, nor as hostages for those who may
be seized by the United States authorities, unless
they shall thereafter be guilty of acts of hostility to
the Confederate Government. From tho provisions
of this proclamation deserters from the
ate army (after being mustered in,) and these guilty
of murder and other high crimes, are excluded.
From ths Front. —lt is reported that Sherman
has sent a force frem his army around to the as
sistance of Foster’s troops on the 6'oosawhatcbie.
The enemy’s batteries in that quarter have in
creased, as evidenced by the continuous shelling of
the railroad, doing, however, very little damage,
j Our cavalry continue to scour the country around
I Ilardeeville. In other respect* affairs* in that
i quarter are unchanged.
; A gentleman who left Savannah, Thursday
night, states that Sherman had sent about three
regiments into the city as a guard. The remain
der of his army is encamped outside the city.—
Sherman, it was stated, had offered the Mayor
every assistance in presarving order, and had sta
tioned guards for the protection of private houses,
stores, and public buildings. So far as our infor
mant had observed, citizens were unmolested, and
private property respected.
Our informant states that Sherma* demanded
the surrender of the city of Savannah uncondi
tionally, stating that if complied with favorable
terms would be shown to the garrison, but if not
that he would proceed to take it either by assault,
investment, or tho more sure process of starvation ■
and, if taken in that manner, no quarter would be
given to the garrison, nor would be be responsible
for the conduct of his troop*. He afterwards sent
a copy of General Hood’s demand for the surrender
of Dalton.
; Sherman’s Impector General, who was bearer
of the flag of truce with this, informed one of oar
officers, Captain Macbeth, that Sherman came
very near being killed a day or tw® previously by
a fragment of shell from our side. His body "ser
vant was killed, and Sherman barely escaped by
dodging behind a rock.— Constitutionalist, 28 th.
From a gentleman who visited Savannah
last Sunday under flag of truce, we learn that
everything is perfectly quiet in the city, and
that a number of steamboats swarmed in the
river, something like old times.
Private property has been respected, and
that nothing ha3 been burnt in the city except
Mr. Wilkins’ Ship Yard and Mr. Roberts’
1 Mills.
General Sherman’s Headquarters are at the
residence of Mr. Charles Green ; General
Slocum's at John E. Ward’s ; Gen. Howard’s
at Mr. Mulyneux s, and General Ward’s at Mr.
Wetters’.
The city is to be garrisoned with negro
troops under the cemmand of Gen. Foster.
General Sherman has. by an order, refused
’O receive any more flags of truce from subor
. dinate officers, and says if his boats running
on the river are fired into, he will force every
citizen in the city to leave it immediately.

Pbrsonal.—We had the pleasure of meeting
: yesterday afternoon, Capt. Haggerty, a member of
Gen. Hood’s military famity, who is en route from
the army of Tennessee to Richmond. Capt. H.
left the army in the immediate front of the defen
ces of Nashville, on the 12th iast., but it was ex
pee ted it would fall back the next day to a point
where the necessary supply of fuel could be ob
tained. Provisions were abundant. The reports
given by Capt. H., reference to the battle of
Franklin, and the situation of the army when he
1 left it, no not differ materially from those previ
ously leceivtd through Southern sources.

Northern News.
A Nashville dispatch dated the 4th, says the
most splendid exhibition of the war, in this
section, may be witnessed fro* Capitol Hill.
The entire Federal lines of battle, almost from
I
right to left, may be plainly seen with the na
ked eye. Over fifty thousand troops occupy
, our lines, which is just five miles. A. J.
| Smith’s corps ia on the right, resting on the
river, on low ground, on what is known as the
John Harding pike—a branch road of the
Charlotte pike. What is known as the right
I wing extends east to within a hundred yards
!of the Franklin pike. Then comes the 4th
corps, temporarily commanded by General
Thomas J. Wood, in place of General Stanley,
who was wounded at Franklin. Gen. Wood’s
headquarters, at the widow Aeklin’s, on the
Grannywhite road. Our line of battle jnst
escapes the exquisite grounds of this lady, al
though all of her negro huts, walls and senses
have been torn down for breastworks. The
centre extends east to beyond the Murfreesbo
ro pike ; then comes the left—the 23d corps—
under Gen. Schofield—which extends to the
river. Gen. Stodman, with his command from
Chattanooga, filling in, and in reserve, upon
a high bank of the river, a few hundred yards
south of tha reservoir. Our extrema left rests
upon a bank seventy-six feet above high-water
mark.
The rebel line cf battle is plainly visible
about two miles from town. It is believed
that Dick Taylor’s forces, numbering nearly
ten thousand strong, are in reserve, and it
may be that this corps is operating near Mur
freesboro.
General Frank Cheatham is commanding
the enemy’s right wing. He has three divis
ions—Generals George Maney’s, Bate’s and
Anderson’s.
THS PANIC AT LOCISVILL*.
A dispatch from Louisville of the 11th says:
There is great excitement here to-day, pros
pects of another panic. All sorts of rumors
are afloat about Hood, Forrest and guerrillas
generally. Many apprehend we are to have
a Forrest raid at least as sweeping as “Old
Pap Price’s” in Missouri. If Forrest is in
Kentucky, he may not leave till he does a
grant, deal of damage, and gathers up a great
deal of plunder.
Fears are expressed for the public property,
even about the falls of the Ohio. We have
plenty of earthworks, but hardly ready for
use. There seems to be a lack of energy, vi
gilance and wise precaution. The rebels are
ever and everywhere active on the alert.
Every horss in town is being impressed.—
Every available four-legged beast, whether in
or out of harness, wherever found, is nabbed.
I shouldn’t be surprised if all of us two leg
ged animals also are impressed and put in the
trenches within a week.
A telegram from Cairo to the Saint Louis
Republican says that Beauregard is marching
cn Fort Pillow with siege guns. Osceola has
been occupied by the Confederates. Tne tel
egram gives the following about another
slaughter of innocent “colored troops” who
had*been sent out merely to kill a few ‘rebels :
Abant twenty-five rebels appeared on the
river banks apposite Memphis, waved their
hats and hurrahed for Jeff. Davis.
A force of about one hundred &Dd fifty ne
grees was sent on board a steamer ab*ut a
mile lower down the river and landed. When
they filed out on shore, the rebels broke and
ra» apparently in the greatest consternation,
hotly pursued by the negroes till they came
to a thick bush place, where the tebels had a
large force secreted, who suddenly rose and
fired on the negroes, when they fled in the
greatest consternation, the rebels hotly pur
suing and slaughtering them at a dreadful
rate.
Eseape of Confederate Officers.
Captain Henry B. Claj, of General Morgan's
staff, captured with other Confederate officers
in the surprise of Gen. Morgan at Greenville,
Tenn., reached Richmond on Sunday. He re
ports that himself and five other captured
officers escaped from a train on the Chatta
nooga railroad on the 19th of October, at a
point known as Florence depot, between Mur
freesboro’ and Nashville. The officers who
jumped off with him were Captain C. A. With
ers, Adjutant General of staff; Captain James
Rogers; Captain Huwald. of Huwald’s batte
ry ; Major Dun, of the 39th Mississippi, and
Lieut. Mosby, Engineer on Gen. French’s staff.
They lay hid in the woods for some time, oc
casionally showing themselves to well known
Southern residents whom they can trust, and
by whom they were most hospitably treated.
Captain Clay, in his wandering before he
struck tha Confederate lines, visited Wilson,
Rutherford and Davidsou counties, in Middle
Tennessee. The people appeared to be anx
iously awaiting a Confederate advance into
that section, and knowing ones asserted that
we could at once obtain from three to five
thousand recruits from these three counties
alone. Our informant, while making his ob
servations, saw two corps ot Hood’s army pass
through Florence. The men were well clothed,
well Bhod, and there was an abundance of
blankets among them. The troops were with
al in the most exuberant spirits. Capt. Clay
went within fifteen miles of Nashville in No
vember, and left on the 15th of that month in
his peregrinations towards the Confederacy.
The officers who escaped with him are sup
posed to have reached the security of Confed
erate lines, but as they separated and trav
elled in squads of twos, Captain Clay could
not speak with certainty on this peint. He is
a grandson of the late Hon. Henry Clay, of
Kentucuy, and shews in the accomplishment
of what he undertakes all the energy and will
of his illustrious grandfather. —Richmond Ex

1 Bcantifnl Scene.
ay jxke t. h, cross,
It was a bright, warm, Sabbath morning—several
parse ns, perhaps a dozen, were collected in a large
upper room. To the right of the fireplace hung a
beautiful picture—intermingled land and water. —
The eye involuntarily wandered to this painting
ever pleased and never satisfied, seeking to look
farther through the green trees. Yes, it was beauti
ful, but that is not the beautiful thiDg of which I
am going to tell you. It is another picture, a living
one in the room.
I have said there were some dozen persons collec
ted there. In this midst was a little table, with a
communion service upon it, and be ide the table
sat a reverend, white haired man. His face thought
ful and kind and gentle and firm. In; his manner
he was simple as a child; and perhaps you would
not think, my little friend, that he knew more about
birds and flower* than all the little girls and boys in
the Confederacy put together; aye he knew moie
tkan a great many grown people put together, and
it ought to make us ashamed to see one man who
has learned so much in a lifetime, when we know so
little.
The old gentleman was a minister, and most of
those around him were of bis flock, lie opened
the bible and read. They sang a hym : and then he
talked to them ns you may suppose the Aposde
John to have talked to his children in the gospe .
He said: “I have been your, minis :er in Charles
ton for fifty years. I have buried your grandfathers
and grandmothers— l have married your parents—
I have baptized you and received you into the
Church—l have been with you in your joys, and in
your sorrows, and in the fifty years of my ministry
there has not been a d'ssention nor an unpleasant
feeling We have been scattered. Wehaveallhad
our You have had deaths in your famifie*.
and I have lately lost one dearer to me than all tka
world besides; but let us look to higher^hings.”
In concluding his remarks, he said : If any of
you are sick or in sorrow, and wisli to see me, do
not hesitate to send for me. I will always come any
distance with The expense is but little ;
the trouble nothing I have nothing now to do bat
to serve my onuntry by laboring among her soldiery
and to visit my scattered Congregation, to who* l
am bound by such tender associations.”
Was that no beautiful? I was not one of tbi*
congregation, but I felt the deep pathos of the scene,
and with true Christian sympathy could I draw near
to the table u” 1 join with them in commemorating
that love in death, which produces such charmiag
fruits in the followers of our Lord.
Do you wish to know the name of this man wb*M
gray hairs shine like a diadem about his brow? I
have told yon that he w.u from Charleston, aad I
need scarcely wriia the name of “Bachman.”
I wender if any little bey is now wishing that
when hiscurly brown locks turn gray he may wss
them with the same dignity, and that when he ap
proaches the close of life as many affectionate ejtm
shall be turned upon him. Honor and virtue do a«>t
come for the mere beckoning- We must work for
them, and they are worth it. it is worth a lifetime
of pain to be able, at last, to reach one hand kindly
back in farewell to the world, while the other hi
stretched forward to grasp tho crown tha* is glit
tering before us. — Children't Guide.
Revolutionary Extracts.
Petersburg, Dec., 1864.
Editor Richmond Sentinel:
I send you some short extracts from letlerg
written to General Washington during the
Revolutionary war, and which are to be fonnd
in Speras' “Correspondence of the American
Revolution.” They are interesting as bearing
upon the events of the present war. C. C.
Gov. Livingston, of New Jersey, writes in Feb
ruary, 1778:
“1 am so discouraged by our public mis
management and the additional load of bus
iness thrown upon me by the villainy of those
who pursue nothing but accumulating for
tunes to the ruin of their country, that I al
most sink under it.”
THOMAS WHARTON, JR.
“The unparalleled patience and magnani
nimity with which the army, under your li
cellency’B command, have endured the hard
ships attending their situation, unsupplied a*
they have been, through an uncommonly se
vere winter, is an honor which posterity will
consider as more illustrious than could have
been derived to them by a victory obtained by
any sudden and vigorous exertion.”
HENRY LAURENS.
“There is a certain versatility habitual, if
not almost constitutional, in men born South
of thirty-eight degrees of latitude in those
States.”
Major General Greene, at Boston, September,
1778.
‘‘The growing extravagance of the people
and the increasing demand for the article of
forage, in this quarter, have become a very
alarming affair. Hay is from sixty to eighty
dollars a ton and upon the rise. Corn is ten
dollars a bushel and oats four, and everything
else that will answer for forage in that pro
portion. Carting is nine shillings a mile, by
the ton, and people much dissatisfied with the
price.”
Henry Laurens, President of Congress Novem
ber, 1778.
“Where is virlue, where is patriotism now ;
when almost every man has turned hi*
thoughts and attention to gain and pleasures,
practicing every artifice of change alley or
Jonathans; when men of abilities disgrace
fully neglect the important duties for which
they were sent to Congress, tempted by tho
pitiful fees of practising attorneys; when
members of that body artfully starts point,
succeed, and then avail themselves of the sea
crets of the House, and commence monopoli
zing and accumulate the public debt,for their
private emoluments ?”
Maj. General Lincoln, Charleston, (S. C.) No
vember, 1779.
“The House of Assembly refused, on the
recommendation of Congress, to raise any
black corps.” [lt would appear from this
that Congress recommended this measure to
the States, or at least to South Carolina.]
“Fort Moultrie, on Sullivan’s Island, six
miles from the town, supposed to be th* key
of the harbor, is in a very decayed state, and
without a ditch, pickets or abatis to it. The
repairs of that also are delayed from the same
cause. [The want of negro laborers.] Two
floating batteries have been recommended to
cover the bar. and they would undoubtedly
answer the most valuable purpose as no heavy
ships can come over it unless they take omt
their guns, or they are so much carened a*
they cannot work them. These also, thoogta
indispensably necessary to the safety of the
harbor, are unprovided.”
Gen. Greer.e, We3t Point, Nor., 17 79.
“I have no doubt but that every State bor
dering upon the enemy will apply for a proper
force to protect them against their ravages.
To comply with these commands, will hazard
the safety of the whole army. Divide yonr
force and you will fall a prey in every qsar
ter; and I am persuaded, were you to adopt
the plan, it would be so far from affording
them that protection and security, which they
promise themselves, that it would become one
of the principal causes of the enemy’s making
inroads, and committing depredations upon
them.”
Improvement t* the Flac.— We have before h*
an engraved copy of the “proposed Confederate
flag,” provided for by the bill introduced iDt* th*
Senate on yesterday, by Senator Semme*. It
differs from the flag as now existing, chiefly in
having a bar es red at the edge of the flag. Th*
effect is to relievo the flag of its excess of whit*,
and impart to it more warmth and richness of *x
pressio*. The proposed model is th* design of an
officer in th* army, and is highly approved by
many officers of taste and position, whose letter*
we hav* seen. It is particularly commended by
naval officers, whose judgment in such matter* i*
always considered entitled to peculiar considera
tion.—Richmond Sentinel.
