Macoo, Ga., Sepi 16, 1864. / General J. B. 1100d t Commanding Army oj Tr, ( neesee } Near Lovejoy’s Station: General : 1 have the honor to make the following report of the part tak* n by the Geor gia militia, under my command, .during the operations at and near Atlanta. My appointment was dated the Ist of June. I took command a tew days thereafter, reliev ing Majoi General Wayne, vviio returned to the duties of his office as Adjutant and L specter General of the State., The force the.' in the field was composed entirely of State offi cers, civil and military. Tfre.y had been form ed inld two brigades, ol three regiments each, and one battalion of artillery, numbering in all i little over 3,000 men. The officeis of the militia, not needed for these regiments, took then places m the ranks as privates with the civil officers. The command had reported to General Joseph E. Johnston for duty and had been ordered to guard the crossings of the Chattahoochee river, from Roswell bridge to West Point, Which duty they continued to perform, until ordeiel by General Johnston to cross the Chattahoochefe and support the cavalry upon the left wing of his array, the right wing then being at Kenesaw Mountain. In the execution of this order, the militia were twice brought into conflict with the enemy’s infantry. They behaved well, thoroughly exe cuted the part assigned them, and when the array tell back to the Chattahoochee, were the last in.an try vvithuiawn to the fortified !>•».-1 ion. General Johnston, in a letter to Governor Rrovn, paid a handsome, and I think, well deserved compliment to them for their conduct beyond the river and their services in beating back the enemy in ‘their attempts* upon the various crossings. The day we reached the Chattyhooehee, we were assigned to your corps of the army. You soon placed us in reserve, which it was thought would give some opportunity for drilling and disciplining the command, no opportunity for this having previously occurred. In the meantime, the reserve militia of Georgia were ordered out by Governor Brown, and I was ordered to Poplar Spring, near the Atlanta and West Point railroad, for the purpose of reprganiz ing, arming tHe reserves, etc. We had not been there three days before you found it ne cessary to order us info the trenches on the east sale of Atlanta. You had, in the mean while, been assigned to the command of the arnis, and instructed me to report, to you di» rect, instead of through a corps commander. There were at this time about 2,000 effective mti'-l; -'s in the command. We guarded over two miles of the lines, having on them, how ever, some eighty, pieces m Confederate artil lery. On llu> 22d of July, whiist Hardee was at i tacking the enemy on out ex--ivrne- ngut ; •in j tbe direction of Decatur, y<tn • a red *>;•.- . log orders, I clo.ed ten .:,e*rv :.U in U> : line, formed Han of b fair ,u -«* >renc»*es» and J moved the uiiiitia to waul o-ri Hie parapet 1 tuoro Hum ,t, nnlo i.bv •■'■emv s mttei.-g j works in our front, Tuey .v »■ ;u <-..ctod. upuit a battery wbn a had no a. v» and •:** /err much.

My troops j were eager lo be allowed io charge he batte- j ry, but the brigade on my left had given way. 1 and the fall rag back was still fur ther to the left. Hardee’s fire upon my right ‘ had ceased just after we moved out of the trenches, I considered it useless to oiako an ; isolated attack, and therefore 1 jm the position awaiting further development i about two hours 1 received orders iron |H uirecting me to withdraw to the treache JH * e lost only about fifty men killed and ided. Thf officers and men behaved "ad ly. Every movement waa promptly and tely made. There was not a single straggl. A few lays after this affair of the 22d of JP y, Iv * or dered again to Poplar Spring, but was scarce ly established in camp there before we had again to be placed in the frenches on the left of the Marietta road, and from this time until tbe end of the siege, continued unde*- r, °9° fire night and day. We h»-< i! portion of the lines to another, and mid our 1 full share of ail the hardest places, extending ! from the left of the Marietta road across the Peachtree road to our extreme right. The militia, although but poorly aimed, very few having proper equipments, more than two thirds of them without cartridge boxes, almost without ambulances or other transpor tation, most of the reserve men never having been drilled at all. and the others but a few days, all performed well every service requir ed, during an arduous »ud dangerous cam paign. They have been in service about 100 days, during at least fifty of which loey have been under close fire of the enemy, mostly night and day; they have always shown a willing spirit, whether in camp, on the match, working at fortifications, guarding trenches, or upon the onen battle field ; they have done good and substantial service in the cause of their country, and have established the fact that Georgia is willing and able to do some thing effective iu her own name, beyond fur nishing mote than her quota to the Confeder ate armies proper. The greatest number of effective muskets in the trenches at aqy one time was about 5000. When Atlanta was eva cuated, the reserve artillery of the army pass- , ed out through my lines, and iny men were formed as a rear guard. The whole was safe ly brought to Griffin under your orders. The inarch trem Atlanta to Griffin satisfied u:o that men over fifty are not, as a class, fitted lot military duty, I have therefore airougly ftd vised tho Governor to withdraw them from continuous active service. There being a lull in active operations, the Governor has, with my recommend.»*ion and your concurrence, temporarily withdrawn the militia from Confederate service and furloughed them for thirty days. This report is hastily written, without ac cess to the detailed records and papers of my Adjutant General s office, but a!! omissions can be readtiy supplied by the /run »j-> uiready forwarded to your office. Before closing l eanuot refrain from allu ding to u subject which, under ordinary Cir cumstances,' forms no part of report o sub ordinates to their commanders. . iHuae to the outcry from tbe press and the people against yourself because ot the evacuation o< Atlanta- Unsolicited by me, without my consent or Ifhowledge, the civil and military officers ot the State of Georgia, when called upcm to take up arms .u defense ot their homes, almost unanimously elected me their leader, and. a* their leuder, I wiah in * i ji/l tOB&j toyuu / . COLUMBUS, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 25, 1865. and place officially on record this opinion, viz: Had your orders been properly executed eith er upon the 20th of July at Peachtree Creek, the 22d of July on our right, or on the 30th of August at Jonesboro, Sherman would have been toiled and Atlanta saved, at least for some time o come, and I am not alone in this opinion. Commanding a peculiar organization, the lanking officer in the forces of the State with in whicn y. .q were operating, I was invited to, and participated in, your councils. I had every opportunity of knowing what was go ing on. Your plans were fully explained to your Lieutenant Generals, your chief of Ar tillery, Chiei Engineer and myself. Opinions nil i view.-; were called for, and then specific orders were given, I have never known one >f t'-'-en to express dissent to any plan of yours that Wa; ittempted to be executed ; never a doubt expressed as to the meaning and intent of your orders, nor a suggestion made by •hem r,i u plan they supposed would be better man that you ordered. If they ate not now unanimous there is but one, if any, who dis sents iroiatl e opinion expressed above, name* iy Sherman would have been beaten had yonr orders been obeyed oo the 20th of July, 22d of July, or 30th of August. Whatever the press or people may say, the militia of Georgia are more than eatiified with you as their Confederate General, and when they again enter that service, in defense of their homes, wili be glad to hail you as their Con federate ChitJ.

We quote the following from the proceedings of a public meeting held at the Federal capital on tho evening of tho IGth inst., (Jan.) Rev. Wm, Chan ning in tho chair: ‘■Mr. Channing road a report setting forth the startling and most heart sickening condition of these wretched outcasts under the shadows of the national capital.

A few of them have been able to build shanties, paying for the miserable ground on which to place them $25 or S3O a year. Not more than twenty five of these families pay for their hovols less than $5 monthly rent. The following eases are reported as those which met the visitors in every direction .* “An old woman on Eleventh street was found with the melting snow dripping through her hovel upon her pallet of rags. She was sick: ,ad buried two children ; no fire, fuel or food, and no means to get any; was hungry ; had begged a match to light in the night* so that the night might not seem so long. In anothei hovel near by was a mother ants a babe without <iress. No fire, and twenty four hours without food. A girl nine years old washing rags gathered from the mud to sell. A few squares away, Saiiy Clayton, daughter, and two grand children.

People spurn them from their doors; refusing entrance to creatures half covered with filthy rags. She spoke of the women as brave and determined. They had come here in desolation, and in the face of every fbrm of discouragement Uitd done, the most of them well, and many of them nobly. Their destitution of clothing was absolutely shocking, A dozen aud more persons are crowded into a single sir.ail room. Move than sou, fifths of the families have no fuel. Fifty families are to be turned into the streets imtuedi ately for non payment of rent. A man aad four children have already been thus turned out of doors and another family, mother and three chils drop, all barefooted. Almost every family has a sick poison.” We might quote at greater length from these proceedings. We might comment upon the condi tion of those negroes now and before the war. We might state that the negroes here are !• ; a type of the etoae all over tbat portion »• rho Siftimerh country visited by our armies, and especially in Louisiana, on the Mississippi, and etsf.»!mrs. We might point to over 80,000 negroes destroyed in and near New Orleans since the war began—bat we forbear. Oapt. J. Y. Beam,.—We have published the Northern report of the execution ot Oapt. Beall, and we find a letter from him iu the Richmond Sentinel. It is addressed to his brother. The sentiments he expresses in this farewell to bis brother are such as wilt iu apire a universal respect and sympathy. To an unbleDohing manliness as to his own rate, he exhibits u chivalrous tenderness for cap tive foes, solicitous, even in so trying an hour, lest the severity denounced against him might be retorted by his outraged kindred: Fort Lafayette.

M Giliis, whw suco-ded Lieutenant Maury as rfuperiotendent or 'fie Uailed Bt»tee Naval Ob*’erv uory Worthy of Thought.—Gov. Blair, of Michi gan, says : * 11 Since the commencement of the war up wards of eighty thousand men have been ; placed in the field irotn the State, of which thirty-five thousand have been - raised since • January, 1863. The State has now in service ! thirty regiments of infantry, eleven of cavalry. I one of light artillery, one of engineeis and I mechanics, two independent batteries, and I fifti eu companies in various arms of service. ’’ j Toe Governor of Indiana says that State has furnished over one hundred aud sixty-five thousand men to the war. The Governor of Massachusetts says that State has senl one hundred and twenty-five thousand four hundred and thirty-seven men to the war, making a surplus, over all calls, of seven thousand. Referring to enlistments, the Governor says that Maine has contributed during the past year to the service of the Government 18,994 men ; and since ’• he commencement of the war one-tenth of tlv population of the State, or more than 11,005 of her sons have been in the military and raw il service The message of Gov. Yates, of Illinois, says that State has over filled its quota of every call made for men by Lincoln, and has furnish ed 198,360 men to the Federal Government, beside 11,328 one hundred days troops. The total of the above, from five States only, is 529,000; yet the entire vote cast by Grant’s and Butlers armies was only 18,000 ! A^ain: Official reports chum that there have been furnished by the so-called “ loyal ” States, and placed in the Yet the aggregate vote cast ior President in the same States, in 1860, was only 3,860,616; by which it would appear tha* excepting the comparatively* insignificant number of 600,- 000, the entire voting population went into the army. The idea that all industrial pursuits ought to be broken up and every mar sent to the army, is as pernicious as it is absurd. There are men all around us who ought to be at the front; but this does not argue that every one should be. there. w e cannot, whip the Yankees into terms by one battle, nor by a series of battles, but .by stubborn ectdu raneo, aud to bo able to eminre, we must Keen up the machinery of our recuperative energies, agriculturally, mechanically and otherwise. It is madness to stake the fate of the country ou one die. We must proceed with the contest as if it were to last forever, and to do this we must attach i no odium to citizens who are honorably exempted j from military duty. The Government has boon j its own judge in determining the number and | character of its details and exemptions, aud it j therefore follows that men at home may be just as I good patriots as those in the field. Every man ! who carries a musket is not necessarily a true man, j any more than ovory man who serves the govern ment at home is a traitor. There should be no i enmity between citizens and soldiers; on the.con [ trary, they should be reciprocally kind the one | towards the other. As to turning out <n mouse, | when local exigencies require it, that is a, different j matter, of which every one should be his own : counsellor. Every one .is interested, and we pro sumo every one will do bis duty. It is charitable to think so. —Selma Reporter.

Such a course would secure rebel independence, by the very fact of the alliance, so long as the contest continued, and would place the rebels whore they could say any moment:, “Acknowledge our indepea i deuce or lose your ally.” The moment we j had entered upon a war with France, under ; such an alliance, our “ally,”.Jeff Davis, would ; have us ar. bis mercy by his ability at any j moment to take jiis lso,ooomen over from our side to the French.

The War ih St. Douihgo.—The Havana cor- j i respondent of the New York Herald writing on the ; 18th of February, says : We have been for a considerable time withoal news from St. Domingo, probably because overy , thing is quiet * u ere, in expectation of the speedy j abandonment oi this island by tbe Spanish Gov j erument. As m instance of the hopelessness of a j \ struggle in wl ; , h by far the most terrible foe is j 1 tbe climate of that country, I would mention that Ia regiment w’ '-h has been there since the com - | mencement of the war, eighteen months ago, and j which left Havana with nine hundred men, rack • and file, returned the week before last with only fourteen survivors oat of that number. The offi cors did not svffsrda proportion, and were much more fortuMH-\ since only «even have perished. This unfortunate regiment owes its annihilation ! entirely to the climate, the casualties in the field ! being but a friction. With such aa example hex I fore their eyes, the advisers of her Catholic Ma ! jesty must be convinced that they cannot serve i the interests of Spain better than by withdrawing ! the aruiv at once from so fearful a pesthole and j jso unprofitable a colony.

Government Detectine Murdered. —About a week since, Dr. J. S. Jeffries, a Government ’ detective, doing duty under orders from post ‘ headquarters of Cincinnati, left there for Lex- 1 ington, Ky., from which place he was to make a trip into Bourbon o»unty for the purpose of “working up’ an affair of some guerrillas who were supposed to have their headquarters at the house of a lady in that vicinity. Jeffries took with him a rebel deserter, whose know ledge of the country arid of the men with whom he had to deal was to be brought to his aid in the affair. It seems, however, that, in stead of succeeding in his work, the unfor-u --nute detective was betrayed into the hands of the guerrillas, who murdered him, took from him his gold watch, diamond ring and pin, revolver, etc., and left his body in the woods, where it was found la3t Saturday. Jeffries aided materially, in connection with Captain Booth and Detective Roberts, in bringing about the arrest of the guerrillas who were fitting out in such fine style in Cincinnati, of which affair we gave the full particulars a few months since. He was a widower, and leaves a daugh ter living in St. Louis. Peace. —The Louisville Journal thus refers to peace: “ It is time that both sections see whether peace cannot be obtained Every week-ot the continuance of the war tends to the weakness of the great prospective republic which we all hope to have after a little while. We know very well that the people of most of the i Southern States have, from whatever mo- j tive or feeling, declared almost unanimously ’ their stern aud deep resolve to perish with all their households, rather than consent to the restoration of the Union. Yet, calm refi.ee- i tion, eveu a very little of it, would bring them j ,o understand, if they do not understand al- j ready, that permanent would destroy j the North, the Centre, trie West, and North west, while restoration would be salvation, I and the only salvation of the South.

Among | the regular toasts, Washington, Grant, Shormun, | McPherson, and many other Idols were rmnem- j bered, and the sentiments invariably responded j : to by a speech’ from someone present. Finally, 1 I the jubilant Yankees came to the following: j “Abr iham Lincoln—A »vUo counsellor, firm and j j unyielding in the integrity of an uncorruptod ; j heart, his name will occupy the second niche in j i tho memory of his countrymen.” Immediately following, the reporter (who, by ( t the way, did not lose his assuraac •) adds : “Such was the next in order, but no one was of j j sufficient o elf assurance to attempt a response to j the expression of so g oertUly acknowledged era rll ; as is accredited to our Chief Magistrate”!

Georgia,—and be will take all practical steps to recall tet their colors all • who are absent from any other cause than actual disability for field service, or on properly granted I furloughs. To this end ho will establish camps at 1 Columbus, Atlanta, Aifany, Macon and Augusta, I Georgia; Montgomery. Nelina and Mobile, Alaba- j raa; and at Jackson, Macon aud Columbus, Missis- j sippi; and such other points as may bo found. expe dient, to which absentees living in the vcinitxes re j spectively shall bo required to repair and report, ■ ; aud to which will bo sent all those who nr. ybe col- j • ;acted b. neighboring Enrolling Officers, who will > i vAj-Lo conscript Bureau. Ho will also require nil 1 I ’officers and men to repair to the nearest rendezvous appointed who may be absent by any authority less i than that ofthese Headquarters or of the Cornman i der of the Department of Alabama, Mississippi and . East Louisi; nna; in which case ho will make a re- ; quisition for such absentees upon that Commander, i to whom ho will communicate a copy of these or ders, with a request for the necessary orders to ena blo him to execute his duties within the limits of that command " 2. All officers and men collected at tho several rendezvous established under these orders South and West of .Montgomery, Alabama, will be con centrated as soon as practicable at that place, and those brought together in Georgia will be assem bled at Augusta.” *##**#■l 1. In obedience to the above order, Maj. E. D, Willett, 40tb Alabama Regiment, has been directed to tube command of the Rendezvous at Montgome ry, Alabama, to which place ail officers who have already been sent to collect absentee: belonging to the three corps i t Tennessee, Mississippi* ami 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. (lamps of Rendezvous will be established as early as practicable at the following points viz: Columbus, Atlanta, Albany, Macon and Aogn-ta, Georgia; .Montgomery, Selonj and Mobile, Alaba ma. and at Jackson, Macon and Columbus Missis sippi.

Post Commanders arc requested to direct tliejr r >:t..;termasters to give all uccc-.- sary suiipUes callea for y officers engaged on this duty wtebin tho limits of tlier commands. ■ 5. I am informed that the officers sent to mo for tLtir. 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 •eHesto lose one day in the enjoyment 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 arms, or any arms they may find in the country. They will the sooner be enabled to join their colors. W. W, MACKALL, Brig. General.. N.
