Macon, Ga., March Id, 1305. The following Orders hav6 been received ''•oui ’‘Headquarters Military Division of the West:” For the purpose of col’tcting and providing for the prompt restoration to their several Regiments, Battalions tr Companies all absentees irom Lee’s, Stewart’s and Cheatham’s corps, the following measures will be taken without delay: ‘*l. Brig. General Mackall, P. A. C. S., in addi tion to his other duties, is specially charged with the general supervision of the service involved—his Headquarters being af Macon, Georgia,—and he will take all practical steps to recall to their colors all who are absent from any other cause than actual disability for field service, or on properly granted furloughs. To this end he will establish camps at Columbus, Atlanta, Albany, Macon and Augusta, Georgia; Montgomery. Nelma and Mobile, Alaba ma ; and at Jackson, Macon and Columbus, Missis sippi : and such other points as may be found expe dient, to which absentees living in the vicinities re spectively shall be required to repair and report, and to which will be sent all those who may be col lected by neighboring Enrolling Officers, who wi’’ be called on to give assistance under the regulations of the conscript Bureau. He will also require all officers and men to repair to the nearest rendezvous appointed who may be absent by any authority less than that of these Headquarters or of the Comman der of the Department of Alabama. Mississippi and East Louisianna; in which case he will make a re quisition for such absentees upon that Command , to whom he'will communicate a copy of these or ders, with a request for the necessary orders to ena ble him to execute his duties within the limits of that command " 2. All officers and men collected at the several rendezvous established under these orders South and West of Montgomery, Alabama, will bo con centrated as soon a 3 practicable at that place, and those brought together in Georgia will be assem bled at Augusta.” * * * * » . ' A 1. In obedience to the above order, Maj. E. D Willett, 40th Alabama Regimont,*has been directed to take command of the Rendezvous at Montgome ry, Alabama, to which place all officors who have already been sent to collect absentees belonging to the three corps in Tennessee, Mississippi and Ala bama, will send them in squads of ten or twenty, the number to depend upon the facility of transpor tation from the centre of their field of operations, and the practicability of subsisting them at the point of assembly. 2. Camps of Rendezvous will be established as early as practicable at the following points, viz : Columbus, Atlanta, Albany, Macon and Augusta, Georgia; Montgomery, Selma and Mobile, Alaba ma, and at Jackson, Macon and Columbus, i Missis sippi. The officers and men collected in them wilj be forwarded, those reporting in Alabama and Mis sissippi to Montgomery; those in Georgia to Augus ta or Macon. Until thesb camps are established officers and men will report to the nearest Post Com manders or Enrolling Officers, who are requested to forward them as above directed. 3. The officers on duty under these orders will make a weekly report of the absentees collected, giving name, company, regiment and brigade, the time at which they report and the place to which sent. The commertßers of the Rendezvous at Mont gomery and Augusta will make a weekly report of the officers and men received during the week, and the strength of the camp at date of report. 4. Post Commanders are requested to direct their Quartermasters and Commissaries to give all neces sary supplies called for by officers engaged on this duty within the limits of ther commands. 5. I am informed that the officers sent to me for this duty have been selected for their special fitness. It is, therefore, not necessary to urge upon them de votion to the service and earnestness in their en deavors to assist in bringing their old comrades back to their colors, but as the very nature of their service sends them to the vicinity of their homes I may warn them of the danger of allowing them selves to lose one day in the epjoyment of home, which should bo devoted to filling the ranks, by which homes are to be defended. 6. AU officers and men returning are urged to bring in their arm3, or any arm! they may find in the country. They will the sooner be enabled to join their colors. W. W. MACKALL, Brig. General. N. B,—All papers in Georgia, Alabama and Mis sissippi, are requested to copy for six consecutive days ; those in Ga., will send their accounts to Post Q.

RUMMi KIIITIHN TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 21, 1863. The (Miss ) Clarion Extra, of the 9th. says the Yankee forces, six thousand or seven thousand men, were at Guatown and iu the immediate vicinity of Tupelo, three days 'ago. It is said that a strong farce, with an immense wagon train, is moving from the di rection of Huntsville on thi3 point Gecerty Lyons’ brigade is nearest the enemy, advan cing from Tupe’o. Forrest is iu motion. Since writing she above, we have seen a private dispatch, stating that a small force of the enemy was advancing from Saltillo, and that Armstrong’s brigade was moving to meet it Yankee Enlistments in South Africa.— An alleged attempt,.says a correspoudent of the New York World, has been made at the Cape to enlist soldiers for the Federal army without success. A Mr. Wehrham opened an office for “ Assisted Emigration ” to America, and took down the names of some four or five hundred persons. His proceedings were ex posed by the South Africa Advertiser, but it was some tim# before the authorities interfer ed. They did so at last. Mr. Field, Emigra tion Superintendent, went on board the Mer rimac, an American vessel by which the emi grants were to leave. Mr. Field at once saw the vessel was not adapted to carry emigrants, and condemned her accordingly. Mr. Wehrham subsequently published advertisements to prove the genu ine character of his enterprise as an etnigra gration scheme. Oa Saturday, December 17th, he was apprehended on a charge of violating the foreign enlistment act. He was then lib erated on bis recognizance to answer for the offense oa following Monday. On the Monday he did not appear, and it was supposed he left the colony by a vessel which sailed for New York on that day. The American Con sul at the Cape has in no way identified him self with the scheme. A gentleman has just reached this place, says the Ciarioa of the 9th inst., from beyond our lines, who states that a grand raid is be ing organized by Canby and Thomas for Mississippi and Alabama. Raids are to start from Eastport, Memphis,§ Vicksburg, East Louisiana and Pensacola. The Eastport and Pensacola columns are expected to meet at Selma, and the Memphis and Vicksburg ex peditions at Meridian. The Brookhaven Telegraph ot the 6th is in formed that a courier arrived there that morning from the Cross Roads, nine miies west of that place, who stated that the enemy, in large force, are between Liberty and Clin ton General Hodge, with Cols. Powers' and Griffith's regiments, are in position at Beaver Creek, twelve miles from Liberty, prepared to give them a warm.reception. Affairs at Mobile. —From the Mobile pa pers of the 12th inst. we collate the following it«ms of the local military situation. The city appears to be quiet, -though the much threat ened advance of the enemy is much expected: AT HOME. The signal officer reports, on Sunday, seven Yankee gunboats at the anchorage in front of the water line of defeases, and six others in eight coming up. No movement is yet reported from Pensaco la, but the previous report of 20,000 troops at that point is still insisted on. At Mobile Pointed Dauphin Island there is much activity, and the indications of the presence of a good many troops. FROM MISSISSIPPI. The cavalry force previously reported as ad vancing on Tupelo, under Gen. Grierson, was encountered Friday week by Gen. Chalmers, of Forrest’s command, and after a sharp fight the enemy retreated. Gen. Forrest can take care of everything in that quarter. SHELLING THE WOODS. Saturday afternoon, the 11th, two of the enemy’s vessels came up on the western shore to within a mile or two of the Magnolia Race course' and threw shells into the woods iu that neighborhood, evidently feeling for some of our batteries. They did no damage, further than that one shot, it is reported, struck Mr. Bate Fordney’s ten-pin alley. Afterwards the enemy drew off and steamed down the Bay. THINGS ABOUT TOWN, The Tribune says : Clear the decks for action, ’for judging from the appearance of the enemy’s vessels in our bay, to use the prize ring slang, the Yanks mean business. ” Some fifteen or eighteen of all classes were seen in motion there yesterday. Three small sized monitors, we learn, steamed some dis tance up the bay, and stood close in to the eastward; others took position some eight, nine or ten miles, and one large sized double turretted monitor, it is said, amused hersei. over towards the western shore dragging .or torpedoes. This sudden advent of so large a fleet puts it almost beyond a doubt that we will be attacked very shortly, so everybody mu3t prepare himself for the coming congest. - ■ East Tennessee. — A late letter from Knox ville in the Chattanooga Gazette, furnishes the following: The Hon. Horace Maynard and Gov. Brown low are waking up by addresses in various sections, and wherever they go, crowds of attentive hearers resort, and ere tong the result will be felt id rhe election. 'Much interest is felt to know tfhat the in tentions of the military authorities are in re gard to East Tennessee, when the season of active campaigning arrives, but aL :ee. confi dent that the best thing for the success of our arms will be attempted, while Gen. Tnomas holds the helm. ThkEsctclical Letter in Feancb.—Perhaps the most important item in the news recently re from Europe is the announcement that the Moniteur, the organ of the French government, has contained a circular addressed by the Minister of Public Worship to the Bishop of France. Thu circular announces that the Papa! manifestation and the principles it contains are directly opposed, ♦o tho laws and institutions of the Empiro, and that, therefore, they “will not be allowed to be published” within the French territories. It fors bids the Bishops to include the Papal documents in their pastoral letters, and also requires them te take care that the clergy do not allude to them in their sermons. Taos there is a complete coniem aatien of Rome, and the breach is made wider than ever between thepretector and the proteeted. —English pap*r. Resources Must be Developed. Now that our ports are hermetically sealed, it becomes a matter of necessity to develop our resources. The army must be fed. clothed and paid. How can this be done, since cotton is no longer art article of export and exchange? This is the great question to be solved by the ingenuity and the industry of our countrymen. We believe that it* can be solved, and solved readily, if the proper impetus and encourage ment be given by the authorities to those nat ural inventive gifts iu which our citizens are uo more deficient than those of the North. Look at the wonderfully ingenious and useful inventions of our prisoners in Northern camps, and it is impossible to doubt that, under the pressure of the mother of inventions, (neces sity,) the Southern man wili prove fully the equal if not the superior of the Yankee. This necessity is now imposed upon us by the clos ure of our ports, and from it we augur the best consequences. Not only must our armies be fed and clothed, but the people, also, must be fed, and clothed, and employed. The capital which has been devoted to blockade running must and will be diverted to other channels. It remains to be seen whether the good sense of the Govern ment and people will be exerted to prevent the conflict and competition of capital now idle, or whether the industry of the country will be organized on a broad and comprehensive basis. Now or never the effort at organization and co ordination of the labor und skill of the coun try must be made, and made energetically, de cisively. Not one moment is to be lost. Heretofore both the Government and people have been reproached, not unjustly, for the misuse of that great lever of power, the cot ton crop. That crop is still dead capital in our hands, and likely to remain so, if proper steps be not taken to monopolize and vitalize it. Happiiv. the pressure of necessity is upon the people, and fortunately for the people there is now a large degree of practical saga-* city in at least two branches of the Execu tive Government Cotton, and with it the whole industry of the country, must waken into new life. Shall there be discord and in evitable failure which attends the conflicts of greedy, soulless and unpatriotic capitalists, or shall there be the system, order, harmonious co-operation and efficients} which would re sult from a properly officered bureau «f indus try ? Even the belter skelter manner in which our industrial operations have hitherto been conducted, has produced results sufficiently amazing to those who supposed that the South was incapable of exerting any self-sustaining energy. The closing of our ports may have induced the belief that we shall suffer im mensely for want es the supplies which have hitherto been introduced from abroad. In deed, it has been supposed that wa have car* ried on the war mainly, if not exclusively, by such supplies. Nothing can be more errone ous. It is true” that we have received much assistance in the way of imported arms, but the money value of our imports has not amounted to one-tenth of the sum expended on domestic products, these being reduced to gold. In fact, the proceeds of the tax in kind alone, for the la3t year, far exceeded the total value of our foreign imports. These facts prove that we possess within ourselves the material resources with which to prosecute the war for an indefinite period. All that is necsssary is to develop and utilize these re sources in some manner consistent with the laws of economy and common sense. People who imagine that we may fail in this struggle for want of the supplies for which we are pre sumed to have been dependent on foreign na tions, will be marvelously disappointed if a properly organized system be adopted.—Rich mond Whig. “Speed tlie Plow.” The unusually severe winter with an im mense quantity of rain, has seriously deterred important preparations for the ensuing crop. The great exigency demands energy and per severence in retrieving lost time, on the part of those on whom devolves the responsibility of producing for the army and country. The present weather should stimulate and encour age the agriculturalists to set about in earn est the planting of corn, leaving every other consideration out of the question as matters of small import. Wo would be rejoiced to know that the breadth of the country is de voted to the production of a provision crop exclusively with the view of sustaining our army in the defense of liberty, life and prop erty* and the relief of suffering humanity, re duced to poverty and orphanage by a cruel and relentless war. Patriotism should not live at the front alone, but, far in the rear, in field and in shop, its sacred emotions should inspire the same hallowed resolution. Fif teen dollars per bushel for corn, and sissy for wheat is a sad commentary upon the human ity and patriotism of a people, who profess to have cast their aii in the balance, for the lib eration of their country from the bloody hand of the oppressor. We have painfully no ticed in our immediate vicinity recently, wives, mothers and daughters of gallant sol diers, from the immediate track of the enemy, plodding over the country in a fruitless en deavor to obtain a few bushels of corn or meal to hush the cries of hunger in suffering innocency. This is a question of grave consideration, and should be pondered well by the Govern ment and the people. The army cannot be kept together and available, when the wife appeals to the husband in statements of the cold and heartless responses made to her ap plications for relief from actual suffering, and that his children are crying for bread. Wo men and children must be fed as well as the army, and we hope that charity, the greatest of all Christian virtues, will influence the people of our country to give of their bounty with which God has blessed them, to the support of the needy, and the alleviation of crime consequent upon actual suffering.— We appeal!o the planter, the staunchest pil lar of the Government, and the supporter o l the army, to consider well your responsibility not only to your country, but to your God, who has blessed you with the means of use fulness. The Brookhaven Telegraph has the following paragraph* from the Natchez Courier of tii* 17th ult. : A correspondent in Sunday’s Delta, writing frem Fort Adams, has the following items which may prove of interest to our readers : The Rebel Col. Johm Griffith, has just assumed command of Woodville and vicinity, as I iearn from gentlemen who came in from there yesterday. He commands the ISth Arkansas infantry, and ha* his headquarters at Whitestowc. He has established his pickets on all the reads leading back from the river, and given them positive in> structions not to allow any cotton, not even the smallest amount, to pass this way fer shipment te New Orleans. He has also given orders that ne citizens will be permitted te come through his lines and make bargains and trade with the Yan kees. These s'ringent orders, and the placing of his pickets only a mile hack from Fert Adams, have put as absolute embargo on the reception of cottea ai this place for three or four days past. This Col. Griffith, of the 11th Arkansas, was the mao who commanded at Fayette when the lament ed Earle made hu last raid’ to that place and re* ceived a mortal wouni. He is a desperate man. and he will now do what he can to sustain the falling power of the Confederacy ia this part of Mississippi. Gen. Forre3t has removed his headquarters from Macon to West Potn f Miss MOMTH, - • SIO.OO m '\ T HRE E MONTHS, $30.00 Ths Real Feeling of the Savassah Peo ple—A private letter da-.ed at Savannah, Ja nuary j>o, and addressed to a geutieinaa in New York, some taels which show the real feeling existing m that place. The wri ter, after deploring the false impressions of the loyalty of Savannah,* which have gained ground at the North, continues as follows: I do not believe there are twenty respecta ble whites in the whole city who are really for the Union. If they could, the majority of the people would cut all our throats to-morrow. I saw to-day the man who kept the club house where the first men of the place assembled every night, and he gave me some account of their Witter hatred of the North. Arnold, who figures so much in meetings here at which pa patriotic resolutions were passed, was Presi dent of this ciub. These men upheld, .as long as they could, the military authorities of rebel lion. When, within two months, a large num ber of Union prisoners were nere. they would not permit* the blacks, and a few of the mid dling class of whites, to give them food from their scanty stores, and fifty-two of them per ished with cold and hunger from Friday night to Sunday morning. * * * The ministers here will not pray for the President, except the black clergy men. —These pray heartily for him and the Gov ernment. The minister of the Presbyterian church yesterday I know prayed thus : “ For all the Presidents, that their minds might be illuminated to see the right and follow' it, and eschew the wrong;’* which was just as much for Jeff Davis as for Abe Lincoln. The Episcopal minister omits the prayer for the President entirely. If these people were loyal they would not ftaad such prayers, and the ministers know they are pleased with such supplications. *■ ♦ • A Bold Patriot. —We were shown yesterday, says the Montgomery Advertiser, i letter from a young lady in Nojrth Georgia to her sister, in this city, and could not help committing the indiscretion of copying the following extract.

The same one had told me, a few days before, that I would be sent to Camp Chase unless I stopped feeding Southern soldiers. My answer was this : send me there if you like; if I were there I would be with my Southern friends, many of whom are better than myself. This itself, is net’ning but a prison in which lam forced to stay, snrrouuded by blue coated Yankees. You, sir, have it in your power to send me, with all Sherman’s army to back you in it. lam here, I may 3ay, alone, with nothing to defend myself with but my tongue, and, indeed, I intend using it when I please to such a robbing band as I have found the Yankee army to,be, yourself, of course, included, sir. And, so far as my feeding rebel soldiers is con cerned, I have never done it, though want of an opportunity only has kept me from it. Gladly and willingly will I supply the wants of tbe first one that lam permitted to see. You have now heard all that I have to say, and if you wish, send me on the next train for yaakeedom. To which he replied: * Miss L , I will see ybu again after this war has terminated.’ I have not, and hope I never will see him again.” The passenger trains commenced running to Atlanta yesterday.

Bon Mots op the Peace Conference.—To a remark in the conference that the negro is now of little value, Mr. Hunter is reported to have said : “ I hare learned to appreciate the value of nay negro men, for they have ail ran away and enlisted in the Union army, and it puzzles me how to keep the women and childrenfrom freezing or starving." As the rebel peace commissioners were being es corted out of our lines, one of them tamed to den. Grant and said : “General, I am anxious to hare peace, and I would be willing to leave the sottle mcnt to you and Gen.
