VOL. XII.) DAILY TIMES. KYIMM6 SniTlttN. THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 23, I860! Latkst from Pensacola. — A private dis patch, published in the Enquirer of this morn ing, dated Montgomery the 22d t says that Colonel Annistead reports that the enemv Is advancing m three columns from Pensacola, Milton arid O'iiocUivvhatchie, to concentrate at Greenville. • • ... - A gentleman just from Richmond, and a member of Congress, informs the Macon Tel egraph that the Commander-in Chief has or dered Kirby Smith to move with his whole army into Missouri. From Pknsacola.—The Mobile Tribune has information from Pensacola, as late as the llth inst., giving nows of some movements of the ene my, derived from a reliable witness. At the date named, it was believed the whole toree was be-, tween fifteen and twenty thousand. Os these some five thousand, including infantry, artillery and cavalry, had marched from Warriugton around a bayou to Ooklield, not quite half way to Gonzalez. In their train they were seventy-nine wagons.— These were accurately counted. Gen. Steele, with his command, bad left Warrington by the bay for Pensacola, but whether he had moved further than that town was not known. The fact that the enemy had been several weeks buildiDg numerous pontoons is significant, and tho supposition at Mobile wa3 that th#y proposed to proceed to tho Alabama river somewhero near Claiborne. This, however, was conjecture. People at Mobile are not so badly- fright ened as to provent them from, d.sposing of their Confederate money cheaply. In fact, it is about the only article that ia cheap, in the financial and commercial circles of the Gulf City. The Tribune reports the following prices obtained atauauctiou, on the 17th inst : One Ayreshiie cow, $2,100; onehiefer, Ayre shire, $2,600; one Ayre3hire cow and calf sold at private salo for' $3,500 ; boy Tom, 16 years old, $4.000; boy Jim, 14 years old, $4,300. A late Nashville dispatch saya : New ware houses have boon for some time building at Chattanooga, and when General Thomas’ headquarters moved to Nashville some days ago, supplies were rapidly accumulating.— These store houses if placed end to end, would stretch above two mil«3. Governor Murphy, of Arkansas, has issued an abolition proclamation for an extraordinary session of the Legislature at Little Rock, on the first Monday of April, to lake into consid eration the proposed amendment to the Con stitution abolishing slavery. Row is Moiule. — A serious row occurred in Mobile on tbe night ot the*lltb, as weiearn from the Advertiser, in which a soldier named W. L. Waite?, belonging to Douglas' Texas battery, while drunk was touud with a knife which he was using in such a manner as to justify his being arrested and carried to the office of the commandant of the post. Here he iras orderSd to tho camp of correction.— Upon hearing the order he became furious and attempted <0 out some persons a the offi ce. Isaac Hurt, tho office sergeant, while at tempting to get out of his uay was overhauled by Waites and fatally stabbed. Hart lingered unfil about 1 o’clock on the 13th, and died, Waites, immediately upou inflicting the blow, attempted to. make his escape, brand ishing his kuife. Tho sentinel on duty was ordered to fire. He obeyed his orders and the ball took effect ia the head of Waites, earn ing instant death. Tub Situation'. —We have the highest author ity for saying that within the past few days the general situation in this department has materially improved, so far as the prospects of the Southern armies arts concerned. By a return of absentees to the ranks.- the forces of both Gens. Forrest and Maury have been greatly strengthened; and if the spirit that evidently prevails in tbe country, espe cially in Mississippi and Weat Tennessee, continues to act a short time longer, both these commanders will be at the head of armies equal to any emer gency the enemy can probably force upon them. Now is the time for the people to work, so as to jnost effectually aid thorn. There is much yet to do, but there are many to do it. Os the strength of Gen. Forrest’s command, our readers, as well as the enemy, must conjecture. It has great!} increased of late, and we learn is abun dantly sup; lied in every particular, llis wagon train is reported the iinest ever organized in this department. The whole command is ready at a moment's notice to take the field at whatever point the enemy may attempt his great spring raid. The tame authority also gives us great encour agement as to the condition of affairs at Mobile. The city has been provisioned to supply the large force now concentrated for its defense at least six months. In addition it is estimated that there are at least three months' supplies in the hands of speculators. These will of coarse be seized should the city be regularly invested, and used for the benefit of the soldiery and such of the citizens as may be compelled to remain. Every effort is making to remove as many of the latter from the oity as possible, to clear the decks for action, and it is hoped and expected but sow who are unable to perform duty will remain. The general in command of the department dei servos tho thanks of the country, an. »f thiJ at-rtion so seriously threatened, for the untiling energy displayed in preparing for the campaign about to open. That the best disposi tion possible under the circumstances has been made of the means that cauld be controlled, we do not doubt. The last thirty days has witnessed a zealous care and watchfulness, personally siren to every corner •f the department by Gen. Taylor, aim we confident the same untiring energy may be expect , ed hereafter. He has an important and difficult j work to perform, but with the help ol Heaven, . and through the strong arms of our soldiery and willing hearts of the people, he will again sue j ceed, as he has always done in previous campaigns, j —Memphis Appeal, 22d.

A Confode rate es the 22d ; “A raiding party came out of St. Augustine last *eek, crossed the river St. 'ter couinued inward, crossing the Ocklanaha river to ware* Ocola : in this march they came upon tne sugar plantation of Mrs - Marshall, a w’.dow womaa. but one w- our largest sugar planters, burnt iior premises, in d carried off all her negroes, mules, herscs and Mgons, literally destroying the place.

It is very cer tain that, our enemies, thbse who nave become domesticated as well as those who are seeßng to import themselves, lire doomed *to disap pointment. Charleston Items. —Ladieo from Charles ton communicated the fallowing to the Con stiiutiona.:!st, * t tbfj I7th* Dr. A. G. Mackay, tue famous Masonic au thor. has been appointed by the Yankees in spector of the streets. ihe Courier, of the llth, has reports from Columbia, that the city was fired from burn ing cotton which Gen. Hampton had destroy ed, and that the Confederates left the people destitute of provisions. The imported editors are learning to lie quite glibly. They report various rumors from Sherman, also that Grant had forced Lee to abandon Richmond. The last New York papers 3ay that Grant is onlv awaiting dry weather. rhe Courier has another sensation story, headed “Augusta Threatened,” and says that our quiet people are quaking in their shoes, fearful of meeting the just and deserved doom that befell Columbia. They state that this city is only guarded by three swall cavalry brigades, who may be captured at any day— that flour is selling at $2,000 per barrel, board SSO per day, aud everything exorbitantly high. Admiral Dahlgren has received a report by special messenger announcing the evacuation ot Riohmond. Dfsertprs also state the same story, with the addition in«t tu« ui tobacco in Petersburg had been ordered to re move their tobacco within four days, and that the theatre in that city, filled "ith Government stores, had been burned. The Yankees posted at Charleston are daily seiwling out foraging parlies, devastating the large plantations along the Santee river. The negro population of that section of the State is very large, and the ablebodied me a are be ing dragged from their homes aud masters to fill up the ranks. Tho South Carolina Rail Road is in opera tion to a point five miles north of Summer ville. Lands ok the South at Auction in New York.—The following is a copy of an adver tisement taken from a late number of the New York Herald : Salk ok Public Lands. —Beginning on the fi?3t Monday of April next, I will soil at auc tion to the highest bidder the richest lands in Mississippi and Alabama. Maps prepared from the records #f the General Land Otfic** at • Washington, will be furnished on the day of sale. Fee simple titles will be made to pur chasers. All obligations to pay money, made by the Federal Government, received as pur chase money. Holders of - currency should begin to investigate qualities of lands in ail i parts of the Gulf States, SIMEON DRAPER, Agent and salesman for the General Land Office. i Tkanb-Mississippi.—We have just seen a j gentleman from the trans-Missisaippi, who is I a reliable and trustworthy gentleman, belong- j ing to the Virginia army. He reports the country west of Red River in a good aud easy condition, aud that the most of the cities and towns west of that river were generally well filled with dry goods of almost every variety, which had been obtained through Texas and Mexico. He states that there is a general line of trade'existing in the country west of Red River and Mexico. He also states that there j is but very little advance upon the prices of I goods previous to the war.— Mimssippiun. i Mi:. Brooks, op New York, on the Monroe Doctrine. —ln a debate on the report concerning tbe "peace conference," sent in by Lincoln to the Yankee House, Mr. Brooks, of New York, used the following language He (Mr. Brooks) was in favor of an armistice. Some day or other this war must end, and prior to chat thora must be an armistice. 11a regretted that the President had not avaiied himself of the op portunity recently offered ta grant, au armistice, believing that if this thing had taken n ~ would have fnlln««'»J. t Thera were things now in progress on this con tinent which imperiously require an armistice or a friendly accommodation between ta > North and tbe South, so that we can resist, by combined ope rations, the European encroachments in North America; and in this connection ho referred to the fact that Sinaloa, Sonora, Chihuahua, Durango, and lower California are occupied by the French, under the pretence of having received these por tions of Mexico for a debt originally only one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars. *This subject, considering the geographical, political aud material interests iuvolved, was certainly of lnoro importance to the House than the abstract ques tion of slavery. This administration had done nothing and could do nothing in the way of resistance to the foreign encroachment. If the Memorial Diplomatique— the highest authority in European circles—is right Secretary Seward has given a quasi support to the overthrow of the Mexican republic by Maximilian, supported by Louis Napoleon; and it was stated in that paper in .September or October last, that our domestic agitations—meaning the elections—pre vented the recognition of the new dynasty set up in Mexico. Hence our Minister —Mr. Corwin obtained leave to come home, in order to avoid having any representative of our country near the liberal or Jaurez government. Mr. Brooks argued to show the importance of peace between the North and the South, in order that they both may prac tically unite in the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine. From North Georgia. —From ? gentleman from upper Georgia, the Montgomery Mail, of the loth, gathers the annexed news : The enemy's force at Dalton numbers about six hundred, mostly negroes. A large num ber of small garrisons are scattered between Chattanooga aud Dalton. One report states that the forces at Dai ton 1 are on short rations —another states that, they ! have a plenty of provisions. The railroad between Rome and Kingston |is in good order. The * enemy have quite a j quantity ot rolling s'-oc*. Tee Now ( gleans Times of the 2«tn 'i:*:nv>. i doses an editorial notice on Governor Brown s j message as follows : “ It the Governor loves the Confederate cause he should let Jeff.

A very 1 30ua d opinion from the Vankee stand-point. COLUMBUS, GA„ FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 24, 1865. ! TELEGRAPHIC. REPORTS OP THB PRESS ASSOCIATION-. 1 t 0 of Congress in tho year k-Y 4• S. Thrasher, in the Clerk’s office of v ‘v!® Court of the Confederate States for the Northern District of Georgia. j Mobile, 22 --Reports state a column, 20,- i 006 3ijong, are about to move from Pensacola, j *nd another from Milton, 10,000 strong, ua ! der Tjanby : destination supposed robe Selma. Thomas is to make a simultaneous movement ; from v'icksbu: g. j These acor urns place the entire effective force, now operating against Mobile an-i sei j ma, at 30,000. | Six vessels ;u sight ibis morning Deserters, : I Lie press au teen earnestly entreated 07 ■ tho Governor ot Mississippi to. oa!' attention .to tbe fact tpat >e amnesty offered ■; > deser : ter 3 expires on the 3d of April. We are afraid | the papers will h irdiy reach the deserters by ! that tiuio: indeed, they are a class who, we | suspect, seldom read the papers. Other 1 means—ail means must be employed to ex ‘ tend the required information to them. The . following remarks of Mr.C.K. Marshal, in his ! speech before the Mississippi Legislature, are 1 very much to the point. How. then, arc we to restore deserters to’ ; their colors ? Au deserters are not criminal. , Theirown consciences do not always condemn | them. They cannot, in all instances, subor j dinate their own personal necessities to con i siderations of common good. The criminal ■ ity of desertion must, to some extent, what ever the wise exactions of the military law. be measured by the intelligence ot the culprit. !,Itis as sad to think, as hard to believe, that : have deserted the standard of i the South Some of them think they have i been harshly dealt with- Poor men. among | them have gone to provide ior their wives and' j children. Helpless families have been neg~ I by more fortunate neighbors. I have j heard ot a poor soldier, caugut ,* t »r ( i who, while absent from his command, made j his wife and children keep watch around his ) little field whil« he ploughed and planted it. i He said to ht3 neighbors, who knew and re ' speeted him, that he would return to ihe ar ! my as soon as he had placed his wife and | children beyond the reach of gaunt tamine. ! There are many cases like this almost pardon j able. Who has it in hia heart to pronounce sentence of death, whatever a just apprehen j sion of dire public necessity may require, in a j case like this? Still it becomes this Legisia j ture to employ every agency to gather descr ! ters everywhere. The militia should beef -1 fectiveiy organized, and on the wisdom of : legislation alone depends the efficiency of the j militia. But all citizens should exert them- I selves to restore deserters to their commends. ; Personal influence can accomplish much.— | The women of the country caa achieve'a . great good by the use of that heaven-doscen j ded influence which enables them to rule the tide of human he'ar?s as the moon does the r ecu. Aii men cannot be dragooned to duty. The stubbornness of their nature is aroused. God wins, but does not force men to do their duty. The orators and preachers of the cohutry should make this their mission. Tbe ministry should he waked up They have.many im portant duties devolved upon them by the ex igencies of the hour They should preach as they never preached before. They should ac quire habits of revolutionary thinking and revolutionary preaching. They should no longer be the -dumb dogs that nevei hark,” of which Isaiah tells U3. Gen. Lee’s order, addressed to deserters, should he their text for the ensuing spring and summer months.- The humdrum preaching of the past forty years is now unavailing. Lee’a proclamation of am nesty is not made known, as it would be ; if a newspaper appeared in every village. The time for pardon will have expired, before de serters hear of it. Songs, speeches, barbe cues, should invite soldiers to return to duty. Without the employment of all these agencies, many a soldier who would become immortal in history must live and die in disgrace. Barksdale, Urr. Phelan, and all the members of this Legislature’should devote themselre3 to the task of persuading men to return to duty. Let us in this, as we may in all paral lel instances, learn wisdom from God’s deal ings with us. He would first persuade; if we fail in compliance, fearful is the punishment. After a proclamation of pardon remains unac cepted for two or three months, deserters should be disfranchized, they and their children , forever. I would commend tt> your wisdom the consideration of such an enactment. Let all measures of kindness h* and lljul masi.ate me vigor *!td p wer of Die go vernment. The Grenada Motive gives us the particulars- of an act of justice consummated by the court of Judge Lynch, in Sunflower county, Mississippi, very recently. Mr. J. W. Gaitcher, a respectable planter of that county, being suspected by one Hart, who was staying about there, of having in his possession a qantity of gold, an arrangement was made by Hart with a negro man to force the secret from Guitcher; and he wa3 accordingly en ticed into the field by the negro, when a demand was made by the negro that he should tell where the gold was. Gaitcher told where the gold was, and the negro then struck and killed him, chop ping his head off with an axe. Hart took the money and left the county. The negro was ar rested by the citizens and hung. Hart was caught near the Mississippi river, brought back and hung. Servfed them right. Bv Ellis, Livingston & Cos.
