The Augusta pa pers instead of arriving here on the day they are printed, do no! get here until the day after and then at a late hour. The Savannah papers come lut little better ; and even the Macon Telegraph does not reach Mitledgeville, 117 miles all the wav bv rail, until nearly :14 hoars after it is printed.— This is decidedly a slow coach arrangement, and gives great inconvenience to our citizens both in traveling, and in conducting tkeir business. As t! ings now go, an Augusta paper is of no more benefit to readers hers, than a fifth wheel would be to a wagon. The telegraph iine is our only chance for early news.

The probability is that the whole Southern v'-asl will be continually annoyed this coming winter hv the fleets of Lincoln. Shall we lay still, and permit them to attack us, when, and where, and how they please ; or, shall we devise means to atinov them, and compel them frequently to re turn to New York for repairs ; for, let us remem ber, that if a ship or steamer receives any consid cable damage on our corst, that there is no place short of New York where she can go tor repairs. C.n’i we get up a small squadron of light steam er.-:, or other craft. armed each with s long rifled cannon, with w hich we can annoy and damage the blockading squadron continually. In such n contest we should have all the, advantage. AA e can sally from our harbors, and attack the enemy a “ any lime wo choose, and if any of our vessels ate damaged, we have a port of safety near by, G which we can retreat. Our vessels being s; nall and iow on the water, could not bo easily bit, whilst the large ships of the enemy would offer a fair mark for our gunners. Experience has taught us, that if anything of the kind is done, it niust he done by the State Government. Ex- l -cits and enterprize appear to be at a discount to Richmond.

Messrs Editors: One of the most important du ties ot the two houses, requiring the attention of the members of the Legislature at the very begin ning of the session, will be to make such a selec tion of presiding officers as will best secure the dis patch of public business. The session is to be a short one. This is already settled in the minds of the ineoibeis. Every one at all conversant with legislative proceedings, knows how much depends upon the promptness, the industry aud the ability of the Speaker of the House or the President of the Senate. Now, without any disparagement of other able Senators I respectfully suggest that the Hon. A J. Hansfll, combines all tiie essential qualities to be desired iu a presiding officer of a legislative body. Thoroughly acquainted with public business, fa miliar with all the great interests of the State he has not sought office. The people of the 35;h sen atorial district paid him the compliment,'well de served by him, of an almost unprecedent majority over two talented aud able competitors. Gen Hansell has never been a violent party man. Par ty iiucs being obliterated, he possesses the confi dence of all who who know him, whether they have formerly acted with him or in opposition If a senator is to be selected of great integritj', sound judgment, quick discrimination and untiring ir dustrj', none will be found to possess tiiese qual ties iu a higher degree. Gen. Ii. has, besides, in an eminent degree the patient courtesy so essen tial in a presiding officer. I will close this short communication, Messrs. Editors, l>y repeating the statement, that in thus directing attention to the qualifications of Gen, Iiansell for President of the Senate I mean no disparagement of his mauj’ able colleagues. M. Amir ('orrcMpoiiitc-iicc. Centueville, October 20. Editors Southern Federal Union : Subsequent to our return trom Munson Hill, we were permitted to enjoy one weeks’ rest. Our recuperative powers bad scarcely supplied the waste consequent upon five days watching, ’till we were again on the march toward the line of outposts. The lines had been drawn about six miles farther back, leaving Fall's Church lour miles to our front. Munson's, Mason's, and the other adjacent hills, having served an important purpose, were no longer desirable ; and were henc evacuated. AA’e were halted half a mile in rear of onr advance line on Saturday evening, '111 of September. Our position was iu a very dense, young pine forest, surrounded by extensive heavy oak woodland—not a mark of civilization within view. Four companies were at oui-e thrown for ward upon the line of outposts; the remaining six hivouacing on the ground The first night was quiet anu pleasant. On the following morning we arose, invigorated by un disturbed sleep, to enjoy the beauties of a charm iug 8abbath. The morning sun, from a serene and cloudless skj’, poured a flood of glorj- upon the magnificent forest that so completely envelop ed us: while the tall, slender pines bowed grace fully to the gentle passing zephyr. At !) A. M., a small, neat, intellectual man, with a hook in hand, was seen to take his stand on the mo prominent part of the encampment. A group of dirty, weatherbeaten soldiers soon arranged them selves respectfully around him. Then went up the devotional soug, iu unison with the soft soothing sigh of the passing wind through the pines above. The ootig ended, and the preacher In earnest manner, sent up to the Father of mer cies supplications that His blessing might rest upon our army, that His wisdom might direct movements, and that His power might alternate it in success. Tiie prayer was followed by an ap propriate discourse; then came the benediction, and the soldiers, silent and meditative, returned to their respective places of rest. This was tru ly an interesting service. There was a peculiar charm in it. Away from the diverting influences of art, in the quiet grove, in the free, morning air, with the bare earth beneath us the native forest around us, and the pure, deep blue sky above us, a high degree of rapport with nature is attainable, and a freedom from the circumstances incident to Divine service in church, which prevent that entire con centration of mind essential to intense devotional feeling. Here nature aids the revealed word to reach the heart: for nature is a medium of access to God. God is never so near as when the two great media of intercourse with Him are both laid before the mind in harmonious connection. What Christian does not see God in every tree of the forest, hear him in the song of birds, and feel bis presence in the passing breeze ? AA’hat youth has not, when alone in the fields, upon a clear, calm autumn day, gazed inquiringly into the clear blue sky, and thought of God ? If we had more Divine service in the native forest or open field, we should have more genuine religion—more sin cere worship. On Monday evening, heavy rains came on. Having no tents, we were all quite wet. The rain continued with short intervals through the night, which was one of the gloomiest or my ex perience. Those who lay down to sleep were aroused in a short time with blankets, oil cloths, every thing they possessed to protect them from the rain, completely saturated It was with ex treme difficulty that fires we-e kept alive. All that long, gloomy night, surrounded with darkness almost Egyptian, in the wild woods might be seen, by the lurid light of feeble camp fires, ghostly groups of soldiers, wrapped in wet blank ets. with sad visages, looking abstractly into the dull fires that afforded but little more comfort than a dim light; their thoughts, perchance, wandering homeward, and occasionally lingering for a mo ment, with mingled pleasure and pain, upon dear ones far away ! This was enough to test the for titude of the firmest. Here were the stout-hearted, men who are ready at any time to meet the enemy with ardent enthusiasm, men whose mirthfulness could never be checked by Yankee bullets, gloomy and desponding. Sadness, was depicted upon every face. Hour after hour they stood, not even having a place upon which to sit comfortably, waiting for the morning light. At length, chilled and weary, the gloom that hung over us was dis pelled by the termination of a night that will never be forgotten. AVith the night, the clouds vanished, and we were soon dry and comfortable. After drying their clothes, the men. weary of the fatigues ot the night, devoted a part of the day to sleep. Onr statements of the sufferings of the sol dier are not complaints : far from it—we endure all these things cheerfully. Our sufferings aie neither strange nor unexpected. They were ori- giuallj’ considered maturelj’ in counting the cost of becoming a soldier. Besides, the soldier lives principally in the present. He does not anticipate trouble, being generallj' concentrated in the pres ent. His duties and the surrounding impressions, are well calculated to draw his mind ofi’ from the contemplation ot his past sufferings, or the proba bilities of wliat lie is to sutler in the iuture. Hence, it may be truly said, that the present con dition of a soldier determines his happiness to a ater extent than that o' any other. Again, it is strength oi wen.

Our tour of outpost dutj' passed eft' quietly—no skirmishing—returned to encampment on the eve ning of the IOth of October. The usual dull routine of camp duties was resumed on the 11 th, continuing until the 15th. At 9 P. M , just as we were returning, we were ordered to prepare to march at 2 A. M. In a lew minutes knapsacks were packed, tents struck, wagons loaded, and everything ready to move. The stir in the surrounding camps soon apprized ns of the fact that the movement was a general one. The few hours given us to rest, as best we could, on the ground, without tents, soon passed away, and the stern command, “fall in,” sounded through In a few minutes the line was formed let it stand until entirely cold, ,el ’ K nd awaiting orders.

Our company, as you can see, has been cou- -iderably reduced under the process of getting fully into the army, but, notwithstanding this is a fact, we still feel like we could make a decided impression on the enemy if we could only be fur nished with goon! arms and could get a chance at them. There are about six thousand soldiers, I sup pose, in this camp, and they are generally healthy. There are a few cases of measles in camp, but they are of a very mild character. The Oconee A’olunteers are well, except colds, of which I am suffering somewhat myself, having preached two sermons on Sabbath last. Yours, &c., J. II. C. P.

General Price's Force—Movements of General Fre mont— Fremont’s Remoral ami Ins Successor—.1 Skirmish on Iron Mountain, Sec St. Louts. October 20.—A messenger from Gen. Fremont’s headquarters at Warsaw, reached Syra cuse. Mo., on the. IStli instant, and reported that Gen. Price had made a stand in Adair county, 25 les from Osceola, with 25,000 well armed and disciplined troops, and a large force of militia. Gen, Fremont had begun preparations to lay a pontoon bridge aersss the Osage river, and it is supposed his army would cross on the night of the 16th inst. He intended to push forward and force Gen. Price to fight or retreat A dispatch from Ironton, dated on the 17lh inst.. ays that no other bridge than that on the Big river has been interfered with on the lion Mountain railway. No rebels are known to be near the railway, but are reported to In- in large force 25 miles below Ironton. Nothing definite, however, is known as to their number or designs. A dispatch to the Republican, dated at Syracuse, Mo., on the Ic'th inst , states thot Gen. Price has acquired new hope from the prospect of large re inforcements. It is expected that he will defeat Gen. Fremont's army, divide his forces, aud take St. Louis and J< fterson City. The Republican learns that the work on the forti fications around St. Louis is tn be suspended. Guns, however, are to be mounted, and everything completed within eight days. The Republican also reports a skirmish on the Iron Mountain on the 17th in-4. The Southerners were driven hack with heavy loss. Bowling Green, Ky , October 24.—The Cin cinnati Commercial of the 19th inst., learnsjhat General Fremont will be removed on the 22d instant. Geu. Hunter is to succed General Fre mont. I he Cincinnati Gazette says that Gen. Fremont has been removed by the positive order of Presi dent Lincoln. It ho arc ice Fighting 1—The term “ Yankee ” ought no longer to be applied to the enemy. Such a term is not just to the fighting men on the other side, nor to ourselves. We are, in point of fact, literally and truly,invaded by a European army. That army is made up of Irishmen and Germans, with a small proportion of Yankees. Whilst the Yankee Government deprecates bitteily the sym pathy ot European Governments with ihe South, its own main reliance is European soldiers. The prisoners just brought in are chiefly of this class. If we call them Yankees, we not only commit an error in fact, hut give the Yankees credit for light ing their owu battles. AA’e have just whipped an Irish and German army, whose bta\ est leader was a depraved Englishman ; and it is an army of for eign mercenaries which still remains for us to whip on the borders of the Potomac. Richmond Dispatch. Army Alloicance for Clothing.—Latge quanti ties of clothing are being daily received in Rich rnond and sent forward as fast as possible to the regiments for which they are intended. These supplies have not been sent forward a day too soon. The Government makes an allowance of forty-two dollass per year for clothing the soldier, but without the voluntary aid of individuals of the several States, tiie allowance would not have been available for present purposes. This allowance for clothing was. we believe, taken from the regulations of the late United ■States. Iu the time of peace, mid in tiie absence of blockades, and when the soldier is stationary, it might be sufficient. But for our army in active service, with our ports blockaded, and ali kinds ot clotting at an advance of nearly 100 per cent., tiie allowance is plainly and grossly insufficient. The fact is that it requires nearly the whole amount of the pay ol a private to provide him with comfortable clothing. A short calculation will show this : For two pair of blankets we now pay, at the lowest figure, $7 ; for two winter suits, say §18; for tlnee pair of shoes, $10; for three caps, $6; for overcoat, $12; for two sum mer suits, $12, making iu the aggregate, $65. This calculation is based upon low figures, with out reference to undershirts, over-Bhirts, drawers, socks or handkerchiefs, which at present prices would ran np the amount to one hundred dollars at least.—Richmond Examiner. .

Moran,second son of Mr. James Moran & Jane Moran, his wife, in the 30th year of his age. Also, on the 9th of Oct., 1861, Mr. Jesse Moran, third son of the above named parents, in the 24th year of his age. The first of the above young men. was a mem ber ofthe Hancock Volunteeis, of Col. Thomas’s (15th) Regiment, Georgia V’olunteers iu service of the Confederacy. Jesse Moran, the other brother aboved named, was a member ofthe Baldwin Bines of Baldwin County, and of Col. Doles's (4th) Regiment, Geor gia Volunteers. Thus, within a short interval of twenty-two days, have both these young men, in the morn ing of their life, and young manhood's vigour, rendered up their lives, on the altar of their coun try’s independence. Born and reared in the quiet walks and retirement of a farmer’s life, and a country’s home—trained by the precepts, and ex ample of their parents, to habits of industry, fiu- gality, sobriety and virtue, they passed through, uninjured, all the peculiar temptations, common to youth, and became highly respected by all who knew them, for their many excellent moral qttali- j ties, and manly deportment Long will their death be lamented by their kindred and acquain tances, and by all who love virtue, or admire and applaud true patriotism. The author of this brief tribute cf respect to their memory, can not claim to have had such an intimate acquaintance with them, as many others enjoyed ; but from all that he has heard, concern ing them, it may be truly said, they had but few, if any enemies. What tho’, they had? who is without them ! and if there were such, surely, now, that they are dead, and dietli too, in their country’s cause, the mantle of charity, and vail of forgiveness, may well be spread over their faults aud foibles, whatever they have been. With crushing weight, fell the afflictive blow, especially upon their mother. But the writer, may not venture to lift the pall of grief that veils their hearts. The country's is a “sacred grief,” but theirs, is “'grief more sacred 1” God alone, can heal their wound. May He, in mercy, a'ouiid antly bestow on them, the “oil aud the wine” of His gracious consolations. "YLTHEREAS, William W. Bozeman, Ado T f trator dr. bonis non trtf/i the trill unnerrd, John S.

I therefore is sue this my Proclamation, giving notice that no more tenders of service will be acc-pted; and that those only will be ordered into service who have heretofore tendered aud been accepted in accor dance with said Proclamation. In all cases where companies have been accept ed upon an agreement to march by a given day. such Companies will be required to comply strictly with the agreement as to time, or they will not be mustered into service; nnd in all cases where com panies have been accepted without a deffinite day having been fixed by which the company should be ready to match, it will be required that such company march by or before the 1st day of No vember next, (first giving notice to this Depart ment of its readiness to march,) or it will not be received into service.
