I The work upon the entrenchments is going on I steadily, indefatigably and uninterruptedly. Ever j I since the occupation of the present position by the j : army, constant attention bis feats given to the j ! earthwork defenses, and in addition to the negro labor.* a brigade of stalwart Missourians have been | ! industriously employed. It is to be presumed I i that it is no pleasant labor for these fighting j heroes, who Lave never manifested any desire to j j bury themselves in ditches, but who always bare , their breasts as they do their steel to the foe. However, displeasing as the task may be, with that chetrfnl subordination for whtch their chief !g noted, they “work on and work ever,” hourly placing additional impediments to the advance of the enemy. * The Abolition army is still concentrating at Grand Junction. Os late they have made no demonstration worthy of notice, but official in* telligence was received at headquarters yester day that the army under Grant was being ors ' ganized into three poweiful corps, to operate separately, but in concert with each other. In addition "to this, reliable intelligence is received that General Sherman has taken the field, and is organizing a large force of several divisions in the vicinity of Memphis, to co operate with Grant’s army, while the infamous Prentiss as® sumes command of Memphis, to inflict indignix ties upon the defenceless families of that unfor tunate city. It is scarcely possible that the Abo lition combinations will culminate sufficiently to advance permanently further south for twenty or thirty days to come. On yesterday, our scouts overtook several wag ons loaded with cotton, which were making for I the Abolition lines under the guidance of a Van- j kee speculator, whose love of gain had overcome his natural cowardice. The teams were forced to i “about face,” double-quick, and advance upon the Secesbers’ lines, where they were disposed of, ! with their cargo of cotton, to the pecuniary ad- j vantage of the lucky % scouts. A party of thirty negroes started from above ( Holly Springs yesteFdy for the Yankee lines. A • large scout has been sent out, and they will prob ably be intercepted. The Van Horn Court of Inquiry is still in ses* j I am, as yet, unadvised as to its proceed* ings. N’lmpgrtb. Hen. R. W. Johnson Las been re«e.'ected | Confederate States Senator from Arkansas.

Mu. £ditoe * Will you do the friends oi tbe 21 \ Georgia Regiment the favor to publish the follow mg;n tbe Constitutionalist: Robert Murray, prt- j I vate of company E, 2d Georgia Regiment, arrived j | here last night. He was wounded in the tight at j j Sharpsburg. Md., and left on tbe battle field with • I four others of the same company—lst Lt. Jobn L • Claiborne, privates Williams, Gasweii, and Cole. I ■He was paroled, then exchanged at Richmond, j i and is now at home on a turleugb, and is Joint* , well. He knows nothing of privates- Williams, Gaswt!’, and Cole, except Williams, as be lay by him on ihe field 1 during the night and day after tbe battle. They were taken to separate hospitals. Murray says the Yankees carried him to where 1 Lt. Cci. Holmes was lying dtadpto see i! he could \ recognize him, as they tbcught it was Gen. Jons# Murray told them that-it was his Lt. Co’ooel. He | says the Yankees greatly eulogised Col. Holmes : ! for bis bravery, and one of them took Lis watch 1 from his pocket and said be sbocld keep it in re j membracce of him. Murray says be lay abort; | eight or ten steps from Lt. Claiborne, who died sometime during the night after the battle, Lt. ! Claiborne, son of Judge Claiborne, of this place > received bis death wounds while gallantly leading * his company, bis Capt. being absent :n conse* j qutnce of a wound received at Mauassas. His | once elegant and graceful form was aw'u’ly man gled. Tbe right leg was torn off by a bomb shell; ! the left leg shot tbrougb with a Minnie bail. He j also received a ball in the right side, hut be died calmly, as only patriots die, without a murmur.- j < He entered the company as a private cn its J ; first organization, and was one of tLe few then to 1 | be found in Fannin willing to volunteer for the of the South. I sood after promoted tim 1 j™ the rank of Corporal lo»* L s good conduct as a ’ soldier, in which capacity he served until the re- j organization of the' company, when he was elected Ist Lieutenant. I have known him from child* hood, comm*nded bim in the school room as a 1 | student, as well as in camp as a soldier, and no 1 j man ever knew a kinder Leart—aiways true to his ( ! friends. A braver spirit, a truer patriot, or belieT ' : soldier never lived. Perhaps none has done more s sendee and fighting than he, being stout and hearty all the time, except a few days. He was at his post Irom the time he entered the service in April. 1661, until he lell at Sharpsburg, never having even asked fora furlough to come home ; aod while many of the troops wanted to come home at the expiration of their term, he always : declared himself in for the war or for life. Uu like many troops of our day, be never complained ( of hardships, however severe,where it was neces sary to perform them. This same spirit is a 1 characteristic of the whole company and regiment to which we belonged. Have you ever heard ] of any of the “Joe Brown’s’’ telling or writing of • those doleful tales of their extreme suffering, the bad treatment of their officers of the command, or any one deserting, or of staying at home on sick furlough after their wounds were healed, and ] a thousand other such ihinge? No, you never ’> will. They ar*- better stuff. %rd well 1 knew .t. Anil by their m-te u. r^.tlr.ij aii w it. My Lealtfc and strergtii Ibalmost Bpeiit, OtL*rw;ee.

' A HOST CAKING AND EXTRAORDINARY 1 BANK ROBBERY IN EUROPE The subjoined letter, extracted from a late j Bngiish paper, ielates the particulars of a crimi* | nai enterprise of surpassing audacity in !s con** ceptlon and of success id its execution. The | j robbery was committed on the banking house of j ! Parodi, the richest bankers in all Italy. The facts j I are these, and are detailed :n a letter from Turin : j i The banking house of Parodi, the richest banker j in Genoa, is not far from the postoffice, in ihe i Via Naova, one of the mam thoroughfares in the j city, and always fall of traffic. On the two days i before the robbery. Signor Parodi was repeatedly j visited by an elegantly dressed Btranger, who de*» sired information respecting a loud, and as to the i mode in which a large sum might be renrtted from Rome. At 2, P. M., on the Is: of May, Siguor Parodi was engaged with his son and eight clerks, in receiving payments and deposits, when the same person presented hirhself again, accompanied by another in traveling costume.— ; Recogniz.ng him at once, Parodi told bim he had ! not been able to procure the required information. “Thanks,’’ replied the stranger, “but this Is not Imy present business.” At the same time, two j | other persons, dressed nearly in the same style, 1 Came in, whilst another pair appeared ai the eu» trance and took post tber**. One of the first four 1 then produced a big roll o; silk cord, and ail the j six drew from their pockets either double barrelled pistols or daggers. “.Silence ”’ cried the leader of the gang ; 'the first that stirs or speaks is a 1 dead man, and”—clapping h.« pistol to the bank t er’s bn.ast—“we shall begin by killing Signor | Parodi; but if no one budges we shall ao no | harm 'o anyone; we only want the money.” ; None of the tec dared to move; they were petri* | tied. Then two of the gang, having tied every ! man’s hands behind his back with the silk core, j led him into the adjoining room, aod making i him sit down on the ground, tied his legs together, me leader meanwhile keeping his pistol at Sig* nor Parod.’s breast, and another of the gang standing, pistol in Land, at the door of the inner room. The ten prisoners being thus boutd, each of them had L.s mouth stopped with a cravat. But meanwhile other persons came to the bank on burines®, and these were attended to by the pair who were posted at the entrance door. The moment they stepped in they were silenced m the same wav, led into the inner room, aud bound and gagged as the others Lad been before them. Seven were thus served, among whom was a postman, who brought sixty thousand francs in bank notes, which were over looked by the robbers. These primary opera*, tions having been accomplished, four of the robbers remained on guard, whilst the other two sacked 700,0*0 francs m notes, and 100,000 francs in goid. Content wiih this bounty they kissed the oanker’s son on the forehead, telling him to cheer up, but to keep silence for at least ten minutes longer, and awav they went quite coolly, in eight of a great number of persons in the court yard and the s reel. They separated at once, and disappeared in various directions, j Notice was given by telegraph to all the railway ; stations, and ail the outward bound vessels | were examined, but not a trace of the six i j thieves could be discovered. . Look out for '1 eem.— Means having been adopt ed at Richmond to rid that city ot a portion of I the immense number of rascals who have infest j ed it, one of the papers recommends that all other 1 Confederate dries be on the qui viv'- for them, j They are scattering everywhere, and will, no j doubt, tarn up 'L the busiest ana most thickly | settled cities.— EtUrslurg ( fa.)

Mr. Hansel! moved to reconsider a lost bill to ! punish adultery and fornication—which was the j subject of some amusing legislation on yesterday | afternoon, which I did not report. The motion prevailed. An attempt to expunge some trifling . motions from the journal was lost. Tbe recon* j ! sidered bill was taken up, debated, amended, and j 1 being considered unnecessary and impracticable j legislation, was laid on the table for ;he balance I | of the session. i A message from the Governor, with “a com« ! j municatioo in writing,” wae taken up. He res | turns, without his signature, a bill to charter the Empire State Iron and Coal Company. He ob jects to the bill on constitutional grounds, in tb&t i j it contains more than one subject matter, and ; also that it has no clause making stockholders , 1 personally liable. A bill to incorporate the Roswell Railroad— j I passed. 1 A bill to amend an act to require Justices of the ! Inferior Court, when sitting for ordinary pur« | pi ses, to declare an intestacy in ce-tain cases— i passed. A'House bill supplementary to the act to pre« i vent distillation—proposing to allow contracts already made with the Confederate Government to be carried out—was indefinitely postponed. A House bill.to provide clothing for the Geor ! gie. soldiers was amended, so as 10 strike out the clause making the $1,500,000 of Treasury notes i authorized by the bill fundable in bonds, and also, so as to leave the Governor to employ in his discretion the agency of the Georgia Relief aud j Hospital Association—as amended, the bili i passed. The Senate then listened to the reading of House bills a first and second lime. A b : ll to charter the Fire ami Marine Insurance i Company of Griffin, was read a first time. It was then moved to adjourn until ! Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock. On a division the vote was ayes 12, nays 11. The ayes and cays wtre called, and stood 12 to 12. The Prcsi dent stated that, as there was nothing before the Senate for action, he voted aye. So the Senate stands adjourned to Tuesday next. HOUSE. Friday, Nov. 2S. Id the House. leave of absence was granted to Messrs. Mitchell, of Pulaski, Burney, Neal, Hines, Underwood, White, Howell, Walioc, Schley! Smi h, Lavendar, and Gross.

Tbt resolution was referred to a special corn* mittee of Messrs. Mulky, Cnbiness, and Cochran, of Grinn.
