The Atlanta Confederacy says that seven Yan kees, under sentence of death for passing conter feit Confederate notes, came very near escaping from tbe jail in that city on Tuesday night. A suspicion of their purpose having arose, Lieut. Barnes went to tbo room in which they were con flned, and on trying the bars to tbe window,— tbougb they looked “all right,” be found two of them sawed off, and held ia their place with a little bard soap. Os examination, be found tba they bad a handsaw file, part of a gur. lock, a case knife made into a saw, and a long thread at. tached to a couple of boiler rivets. They also had three chair paste, to be used as weapons to flight their way out. Ail these things were concealed in their pillows. Tb. Confederacy pertinently asks—how they got these articles ? We learn through a private it tier that company K, 20th Oa. regiment, had eight men slightly wounded, and four caplared in -tbo battls of Get» tgsburg.

The charge of the enemy on one of our batteries at Jackson on Monday, and their terrible repulse, illustrates the spirit which should now animate our soldiers and citiienj everywhere. All ac counts concur that the fight was desperate, and thattne position was sustained with fearful los? to the enesry. The Yankees who were captured in making the charge, and, subsequently passed through ob their way to Richmond, describe it as a desperate hand to hand engagement, in which our troupe were trmmphant. Tory state that out boys cut the throats ot number* ol their men with pocket knives. This mar be a Yankee lie for tffect, but we trust it is so. Things have bow come to that pass when ne cannot afford to bc punctilious about tbe weep >ns us ; id to kill our invading toes.

The negroes of this city have ol late, by their actions, assumed aa effrontery and inic pr.deuce that is positively unbearable. A white man is beneath the notice of these descendants of Africa, and our wires and daughters are insulted ob the streets, and in the Cars and omnibuses by both male and female negroes. Before comment* ing further, we will notice two lustsnces that oc curred yesterduy. Iu the afternoon the wife o one of our prominent ci»>a*nn, while promenad ing Fourth stre t, near Vive, was elbowed by a negress, dressed gaudily in sillt and lace. r J bt ladytt.ua shored looked back for aa apology but was met by a sneer and a laugh of triumph at the achievement the wench hau made. Again, lasi night a negro barber on the corner of Race aud Sixth streets chased a white mar out of his saloon tor a pretended insult, and pur sued him, with an uplifted club, io College street, where he knocked L.m t.own and struck mm »ev*» *ral oertre blows on the oack of the head, ano left him aensrlehs and bleeding ou the todewa k and then walked back fl innahiag bis cane, sd* exclaiming: “I made the d—d clog hue toe du* ibat limel’* All ibis time there ware no watc . mo.', nsar, n*r were any arrests maoa.

With Ibis small force he has beaten back Banks* concentrated army two whole mouths, and iilloted upon it losses much greater than tbe number ol the besieged.
