f'TtIfcOtPLE—POLIC'T—OROAHS. The press is a power. It is recognised as *nch throughout the civilized world. Certain great papers are regarded with as much lespect as monarch?. Their weight thrown into the scale is felt as much as i! a State had taken a position in political affairs. In Europe, espe cially in England, some of the most powerful paper* wield an influence that belongs tathem, independently of the writers wh* conduct them. In several o: the leading journals the editors are unknown. The journal Las at tained, and grown into strength. Ita utter ances are fulminations transcending in power and influence those of the great Athenian who shook tlio Arsenal, and wielded “ the tierce democracie’’ of that glorious State that even In its ruins is a splendid monument of freedom and letters. This is a rare attainment. But there arc presses which have accomplished it; presses which to-day exert unmeasured influ ence over the affairs of Christendom. The “ London Times” is the grandest living illus tration of this truth. It is as well known in Europe by the namo of the “Thuaderer,” as Jupiter Tonans in the classical werld. It holds position not alone by the intellectual en ergy which guides it, nor by the vast amomat of capital which sustains it; but it stands like a throne—a recognized power which la to be respected without questioning its claims tn de ference. It is established. It ia supported by the largest number of readers on the globe. It hag the largest audience in the world. It cir culates not only throughout Great Britain, and the wbol9 extent of that boundless empiro ; but it is read all over the continent. Before its columns not only does the Government— the ministry, tho dynasty being established— tremble ; but ita opinions are potential in re gard to questions of foreign policy. For ex ample, ita influence was largely felt in settling tho affairs of Greece ; of Holland and Belgi um ; in giving stability to tho throne of Louis I’hiilqipe ; and to the reign of his .successor, the present Emperor of France. Yet th« names of its editora are net intruded upon the public. It stands alono in its majestio strength, as “The limes.’’ On tho continent oi Europe there are papers of weight and influence, bnt mono of them can claim any such weight as the Times possesses. In Paris there have beoa some brilliant journals. There are to day sev ■feral of great ability and wide influence. Some are merely newspapers. Galignaui's Messen ger stands at the head of this class ; it is taken by every crowned head in Europe. In thl3 country seme few journals hare ac quired imincnso influence. The “ lUchmend Enquirer,” in tho days of Thomas Rilcfcie, at tained great strength. It was the leading Democratic paper. Its firo waa always de structive, when turned with fall force upon nn adversary. It kept ita party Sag always fly ing. Somo few other papers have exerted great influence over public opinion. Tho ‘Globe,” and tho “National Intelligencer,’’ were pow erful in their day. Every journal tiiat aspires to snch a position as that which has been attained by these lead ing papers, ought to he governed by principle. It should keep steadily in view tho grand, un swerving, organic ideas which enter into good government. To these it should land, at all times, an unbought and generous support, no matter what tho accidents of the hour may be ; no matter what offence may be taken by men in placo, who look to it for laudation or apol- ogy ; no matter what temporary advantages it may lose by its noble frankness—it must ad here to principle. It must never second an evil scheme, nor be silent when the great prin ciples of liberty are assaulted. It must never lay itself open to the reproach of having suf fered a murder to be committed in its presence, when it should have endeavoied to stay tho hand of the assassin of popular liberty ; nor •nffer him that it should have counselled to wiser and nobler courses to exclaim— *• lltulut tlieu hut shook thy bend. Or mado ft pause when I epoke darkly; Or turned uu eye of doubt upon my face !” The function of a true popular journal Is to guide public oninion. It must not suffer pub lic men to mislead it. It must by its own power sway them, and keep them loyal to principle. It is a pleasing task to give a hearty support to eminent men ; men eminent in station, in intellect, in character. But this must be accorded to them as a reward for their loyalty to principle. They must be sustained because they are tho advocates of great meas ures, whoso success is essential to The welfare of the country. They must be defended against assaults upon their position, that their useful ness may not be impaired. They must be en couraged to heroie exertions in defence of the right, and bo animated to mako war upon the wrong. But this does not involve a servile acquiescence in the course of party leaders. Nor does It admit of a degrading laudation of the acts of an Administratiou which ought to be condemned. Policy is allowable, In politics it is always expected. It would boa romantic exercise of qualities, certainly noble—but while noble to l>e always allied to prudence—to criticise on every occasion tho acts of a political friend, because wo could not yield a full concurrence, or a hearty support to his views. But we do assert that no journal that desires to enjoy the confidence of its readers, or to maintain its own sell-respect, should give its support to measures hurtful to publio liberty, no matter by whom those measures are projected, upheld, or advocated. Organs are understood to be the authentic interpreters of an Administration. Acquaint ed with its policy, they are able to foreshadow coming measures and to secure for them a fa vorable reception. They arc able too to defend ' the Administration from assaults upon its poli cy. and they are, of course, more fully inform ed of the facts which surround a question of public policy. All this is well and proper. But if to be an organ, implies a servile sur render of the individuality of the journal; a sordid advocacy of the measures of an Admin istration ; a swearing by the word of a master; a disgraceful laudator of all the measures of the reguaut party; an oblivion of the nobler and grander demands of statesmanship ; a yielding of the columns of the paper to a de fence of measures hurtful to popular liberty ; a betrayal of the people—then we pronounce an organ to bo the most hateful of all things • under the sun. The meanest, the vilest, the basest. To consent to attack Aoso who differ .< with the party in power ; to misrepresent them; * to open one's columns to traduction, because gentlcmeu have the manliness and the inde pendence to speak or write for liberty—these are vile uses. For our own part, wo have our partialities ; our aversions ; our friendships ; bnt we shall never surrender our individuality, our inde pendence, our privilege of speaking the truth. We shall fearlessly assault the measures of the Administration when wo think that they ought to be opposed. We shall unsparingly bring to the popular view their shortcomings. We shall applaud their acts when we can. , We are no man's organ. We know how to respect an upright, true, conscientious and in dependent public servant. Whatever of sup port we can give to him. while pursuing his high, noble, patriotic course, we shall freely give. Here is our position. We shall main tain it. So far we have been independent We may lose some friends whom we should be to retain, we may make enemies by out baldness, we may wound by our frankness ; but one thing we intend to do—we shall to the -last assert our independence ; we shall dare to speak the truffi ; and shall bring within the range of our observation the whole field of pnblic affairs; and the columns of our Journal Shall at all times utter the language which men love to hear, who feel that they are freemen and that they have not surrendered their liber }es,*or gold ihenisulvea to &ny Administration AFFAIR* IN GEORGIA. The situation of affairs in our State, which last week was rather gloomy and threatening, has suddenly brightened. Our Etar is still in the ascendant. Victory yet perches on our tanners. Sherman, in imitation of Grant in Virginia, has sent ou t his raiding parties to pillage the country and destroy our railroads; aad with like results. Before inflicting any serious or irreparable damage, they have been over taken and routed by our cavalry. Stoneman. the leading spirit of the expedition, has been taken prisoner with five hundred of his «en, and the balance of bis troops scattered by Iverson. Tbe foroe, commanded we presume by Uonsseau, driven back onNewnanby Jack son, fell most unexpectedly into the hands es Roddy, who gave them a hot reception, cap turing a thousand find killing and wounding an indefinite number. These were doubtless the two main bodies of the raiding force ; one of them being sent to operate on the Georgia and Central Reads, and the other on the Macon and West Point. Both have received their quietug, and the smaller bands, scattered over the country, cm their errands es mischief, will soon be driven back or captured. This first raiding experi ment, on which Sherman counted so much, may be set down as a dead failure. Both Grant and Sherman had flattered them selves that they would bo able to cut off our communications and force our armies, which they could not whip, to fall back by means of extensive raids; but both have bean wofully disappointed. They omitted to take into account that there were bsmus cavalry on our side, who nright attend to their marauding parties. With their usual blindness and over weening coifidencc, they failed to see the dan gers ahead, tho obstacles which might obstruct their path of victory. It is now certain that Jiherman cannot ac complish his purpose by raids. It* may do us much mischief, and occasion us much inconve nience, but he can not drive Gen. Hood from Atlanta by such expedient*. Many of our people were greatly terrified by these movements, and ware almost ready to give up in despair. But they now eea that their fears were groundless—that with such a lody of cavalry, as we possess, na raiding force which the enemy can*se*d out can ravage the’ country with impunity. It is a demonstrated fact, that the cavalry af th* South are superior to, and an or*rmsteh for those of the *ne«y. They are better rider* and better fighters. The ®*n *f the Soath, like tho Arabs of tho desert, treat home in th* saddle; and are unequalled and roetstl*se in a charge or pursuit. Oa th* contrary, Northern troops are generally unskilled In horsemanthip, and awkward in th* saddle. Hence, they de not mako as geod cavalry as Infantry, for this is not their T*cation. Thia incontestiblo su periority of our caralry, will erer defeat th* raiding policy of the enemy. It is folly for him to attempt to subjugate us by raids. Gen. Hood has been again victorious in a goneral engagement. The enemy has received another bloody repute*, and is brought to a stand before Atlanta, having failed, thus far, by all his efforts, to capture that important point. 'We aro ranch mistaken if, with tho reinforcements going forward, Ileod dees not compel Sherman before many days, to change his base. Ho has tested the strength of his adversary; he has shown his ability to cope with him in battle; to hold his ground against any assaults ; and only needs a moderate in crease of force, to send Sherman flying back through the mountains of Georgia, a littio faster than ho came. Wo know nothing, as yet, of any movments in Sherman’s rear, lie seems to have dismiss ed any fear or concern in regard to it, suppos ing, we presume, that all our forces are fully employed in his front, and we would not, if we could, disturb his blissful sense of security. Morgan, whom wo hoped would have been sent to Gen. Hood’s assistance, we are informed has gone to Early. Perhaps so, but we si.all see. Rumor placed Forrest at Huntsville, a few days ago, but we know nothing certainly - ns to his whereabouts. With Micawber, we pa tiently wait for something to turn up. It is a cheering fact that the Militia are press ing on to Atlanta —the gallant and indomitable Militia of Georgia. How many are going, w aro not informed, and, if w* were, would keep silont on the subject, We know they will fight It is said they have the happy peculiarity of not knowing when they are whipped. They arc decidedly opposed to a retrograde move ment towards their own homes ; and will stand until the last man shall fall, before they will yield an inch of ground to the invaders of their State. ALRXANBER LOftU’ft SMEt’fl. The speech of Alexander Long is the boldest and manliest utterance, we have yet had from the North. It deals a giant’s blow at the In famous war, now being waged against tho people of the South. Its condemnation is emphatic. Its opposition unqualified. It is an outspoken declaration for the right of the Southern States to up a Government for themselves. For the conclusion of peace on tho basis of Southern independence. Tho utteranco of such a speech, almost with in the precincts of Cincinnati, to assembled and applauding thousands, is a phenomenon. It indicates a radical and wide spread change of Northern sentiment. One year ago such a speech, would have sent Mr. Long to Canaria or Fort LaFayettc. Now, it is spoken with impnnity, without fear of the frowns of the Washington despot. Mr. Long is a representative man of the peace party, everywhere recognised and en dorsed by it. The stand which he took last winter, on the floor of the Federal House es Representatives against the further prosecn tlon es the war, called forth the wannest ap plause of his supporters and has been approved by numerous Democratic peace Conventions and assemblages. We may, therefore; regard this speech as an authoritative exposition of the views, the policy, and determination of the party, of which ho is one of the most popula and distinguished organs. We may take it as the programme of that party, in the approach ing Chicago Convention, to assemble on the 29th day of the present month. Reace, and the recognition of the independence of the South, will be the two main planks in its plat form. On these, it will go before the people, to fight the Presidential battle of 1104. A great party, unconditionally pledged to opposition to the war, and to the restoration of peace, it is now certain will take the field against Lincoln in the coming contest This is a point gained for us, and for the interests of peace. It is no insignificant Organization that thus throws down the gage of battle. It is a party, embracing at this time nine-tenths of the De mocracy of the North. Last year it cast for Yallandingham one hundred and eighty thou sand votes in the State of Ohio, and this year it will cast many more. It is a fierce, deter mined party .exasperated by many wrongs,which tis bent on avenging. It will permit no mili tary interference as formerly, by the vulgar and insolent tyrant, who is seeking to perpetu ate his power on the rains of civil liberty. W have not a doubt that blood will flow if this be again attempted. Lincoln Is evidently in timidated by the stem and defiant attitude of the peace party. He dare not tew repeat the experiment of laying violent hands on its lead | ers as he has previously done. He sees that j there is danger in the enemy that he has rous , ed. That there is brewing which a Ivery slight provocation may cause to burst in fire and blood upon his head. One sf the most features pf this speech, is ite clear and distinct enunciation of the doctrine of •ftato sovereignty—that each State is a sovereign and independent nation, and the Union but a league of sovereig- ~ which did not relinquish nor impaii^fSsw-sov ereignty, when they entered into the Federal compact; but haVe an indefeasible right to as sert that sovereignty, at any time, and to with draw from the league, whenever any of them rasy deem it advisable to do so. The mischie vous idea of consolidation is vehemently de nounced, ae is,- also, ite logical sequence, coer cion. These positrons are maintained with a formidable array of facts and arguments. Mr. Long has boldly struck at the fundamen tal errors in whieh the war originated. He has undertaken to dispel those errors from the Nerthem mind, to work a radical cure of the popular delusion and phrenzy, by the inculca tion of sound doctrine, by a retnrn to the prin" ciplea and views of the framers of the Consti. tution. We have reason to believe that Mr. Long and his associates have, also, an ulterior object in this bold and dellant assertion of the right of secession: that they are looking to the separa tion es the Western States from the Eastern and Norther*. The West is now groaning un der the burtheas imposed by the rapacity and moaopollzlng spirit of New England. She Unde herself a tributary vassal to the commer cial and raaaufaoturing powers #f the East, the victim of their cupidity and Injustice, and is ripe for revolt. The day may not bo far dis tant, when we will see tbe Western States erect an Independent republlo. This is evidently the favorite scheme of many of tho most intlu-* ential and able public man at the West. It is a schema peculiarly tempting to their ambition and self interest, and its realization is not an improbability. F*om Gaaiffu Raima**.—From all accounts wa gather the annexed newt : Straggling bands oi tho wain body of thu raiders which pasted thraugh Covington ou Thmrsday, visited plastatioa* in the edge of Morgan coumty, taking males, horses and ne groes from the planters. The names of Mr. Braaghtoa, a former merchant of Madison, and Mr. Pitts, residing about tea miles from tawn, are mantloned as sufferers. They did nat generally destroy private property or mills. At Oxford the raiders visited Dr. Means, bnt did him no injary. Thoy also overhauled brother Knawlea of tho Macan Journal & Mes senger, who was riding along the road near Oxford, In his buggy, when ha changed his hate to a convenient corn field where they soon flanked him, and tho worthy knight of tho qnill came to a graceful surrender. They did not ham a hair of his head, and ou his com plaining that the party ou the other flank bad taken his horse and buggy, they turned over a mule to him, and rumor has it that the parson o t the best of the swap. , Our correspondent says that littlo public property remains in Madison to tempt the vandals to extend their visits to that place. He says that the valuable stores of shoes and clothing, belonging to the State, were delayed several days by the Confederate officers, wiio would monopolize all oars seat to that point, with hospital hunks, and other trash—a pain fal illustration of the inhecility which has characterized the business machinery of our Government. Tho ralders fcave burned Cartwright factory at Scull Shoals, and the bridge over the Oconee above Greensboro. A party of raiders made their appearance at Athens on Tuesday—about ono thousand in number. They were meet by a force under Col. Dribble, and retreated it is said without making much show of a fight. A large force of Confederate cavalry it iB stated was in their rear. This probably was one reason why they left without making an attack. The raiders have left Madison. The fire seen in that direction on Tuesday was not the Oconee bridge, bat was a largo lot of commisa ry stores which had been piled up and fired by the Yankees. Among others who have suffered by tho van dalism hf the Yankee raiders at Madison, we leara that Hon. Joshua Hill was a heavy loser jn horses, mulas and other property. The country above Madison is said to be full of scattered bands of Federals moving round and making their way towards Sherman’s army. From all reports, it appears that one body of the raiders has been badly whipped, demoral ized, and scattered in ail directions. There may however bo other parties still in other sections that have not been properly at tended to. Those whose duty it is should be on the lookout. Fir* at Greekjboro.—A blacksmith shop, and a large wooden building, near the Court House in Greensboro, was fire Monday night. Abont three hundred bales of cotton, belonging to parties in Savannah, was also burned. A largo building near by—fall of cotton ; and the dwelling house of Mr. Dastor.at one time were in great danger—but were saved by groat exertions. When the alarm was given the citizens thought that the Yankees were certainly in the place, and were greatly excited. The fire was undoubtedly the work of an in cendiary. The residents of places in those sec tions where the raiders have been cannot be too vigilant. Akotitbr Party of Raiders Captures. —The party of Yankee raiders which were seen near Athens on Tuesday morning were captured the same afternoon. They numbered about one hundred and fifty. They had encamped for the night at Bass Mills, Gwinnett co., and were surrounded by MaJ. Clark, who had been pur suing them all day, with a force of seventy men. The Tankeee surrendered at first fire. — Some three hundred horses and mule3 wer captured; also three negroes. The country i„ full of scattered parties of raiders and they are continually being picked up by our men. Asother Party of Raiders Captured.—We learn that a party of raiders was captured in Monroe on Thursday. It is stated that they numbered about five hundred, and were pro bably those who escaped from Gen. Iverson when Stoneman was taken. They were en camped at the time our troops came upon them. Abont fifty of the raiders were killed. All of the large bodies of raiders, we be lieve have now been taken, although the coun try we are told is full of small parties—num berin'! from teD to fifty. If the citizens will assist our forces promptly and energetically, the country will soon be cleared of them. Tub Crntral Railroad. —We are requested to state that it will take two or three weeks to repair the Oconee bridge on the Central Rail road, instead of the time mentioned by ns in Wednesday’s paper. We are also requested to announce that la dies, children Jand ’trunks cannot be carried over the bridge for a week to come,—only male travellers and hand baggage. Promoted. —Col. Robert H. Anderson, of the Fifth Georgia cavalry, has been appointed Brigadier General. Gen. Anderson was wounded in the late fight with the Yankees near Newnan. Railroads.— The damages done to the Ma con and Atlanta railroad have all been repair ed. Trains now rnn regularly to Columbus, via Opelika, and the road between Opelika and Chehaw will be in running order in a few days. Arrival or Steamers. —Several steamers with valuable cargoes, arrived at a Confeder ate port a few nights since, Ravages or the Yankees is North Georgia. —According to the confessions of the Yankee letter writ re, Sherman’s army has bpen guilty of committing every kind of atrocity in North Georgia. A correspondent oi the Elmira Gazette, writ ing from near Dalton, says: We camp on large and beautiful plantations, and spread desolation, unavoidably, before us. A? we advance we make quite as clean a sweep of live stock as the enemy have of their slaves. The large fields of corn, wheat, rye, tobacco and cotton, in the most nourishing condition, indi cate the prosperity of the country. In most instances the inhabitants flee before us, only the poorer elasaes remaining at home. It fs truly heart sickening to see to beautiful a country ravaged and destroyed ; these fine farms and pleasant homes are truly unequalled in any country, but tr.e hand ot war will lay a scourge on rhein that a century cannot efface. When we confronted the enemy at Cassville, they barricaded the town, and intended to make a stand, but late in the afternoon they evacuated the place, and our forces occupied it. During the battle all the inhabitants va cated the town, that was sacked and pillaged by tbe soldiers. On entering one house we saw a soldier donned in the habiliments of some Southern lady—black silk dress, a pink of a bonnet, white kids, hoops, etc., while on the floor in mutual ruin lay a large and costly vase that had been hurled into a hundred dol lar mirror; added to the confused mixture was an annihilated piano—smashed sofa, bro ken chairs, etc. While making my way to camp I saw a splendid oil painting of the “Sur render of Yorktown,’’suspended from the side of an old supply wagon, for tho gratification and classic tastes of some ruulo driver. A correspondent of the New York Express writes as follows of the suffering now expe rienced l>y the defenceless and helpless women and children of Georgia now iu possession af the Yankees. Tho section of Georgia through which this army has passed is literally stripped of every thing; what little the Confederates left has been absorbed by our forces. I witnessed a sight lately which I pray I may never witness again. I have seen death upon the battle-finld in all of its most horrid forms; I have seen whole platoons es brave men melt away before the iron storm of battle, but was never so viv idly impressed with a true realization of the horrors of war as I wasthen. I strolled far up a winding ravine between two ranges of hills. When dis tance from camp I came upon about twenty women, giris and children huddled together, partakers iff each others wretchedness nmong the bliis in a state of starvation. Close by was a rude, newly made grave, where one of their number had been laid iu toe ground, who they said starved to death. Such a group of misery I never saw before. No couch but the ground, no shelter but the pitiless sky, and not a morsel of food ! I tnrned from the scene sick at heart that I could do nothing for them, and to think that their lawful protectors were Just across the hiiis engaged in battle. Leaving the snot, I saw a worn an hurrying across the field wringing her hands in a state of despair bordering on madness. Georgians! this is a specimen of the fate which awaits you if Sherman succeeds in over running your fair State. . This is the fate which awaits your wives and daughters unless you succeed in repelling the foe. Upon you then Georgians, is placed tho bur den of defending your State from being laid waste and made desolate! In this great emer gency, prove yourselves to be men, worthy,of tho priceless boon of liberty ypu have inherited from your revolutionary sires. Let their deeds of valor cmulato you to like acts I Heed not the advico of men who would deter you from responding to the patriotic call of your Gov ernor. None but those who hate Georgia would give such counsel. Let those who are striving to prevent your chief Executive from carrying out plans which will save the remainder of the State from tlie rapacity of the foe, see that their designs have signally failed- .—MS><BSO=. A TREAT. TO SOLDIERS ABSENT FROM THEIR (Jon hands. —lt behooves us all, in this time of our country's peril, to cheer the hearts and strengthen the hands of our brave defenders in the field. While those whose duties require their presence at home can do much to in crease tho efficiency of the- army, more partic ularly is it now enjoined upon those soldiers absent from their commands, to add. to our numerical military strength by a speedy return to the ranks. Every soldier belonging to tho Army of ?enne3se should esteem it a high pri vilege, as well as a duty, to be faithfully at Ms post.' We shall achieve our independence— Georgia, and her sister States, will bo ere long rid of every hostile foot—the stars and bars will float again over our repossessed and right ful territory—but to consummate this great and glorious result, the hardest, the most stubborn fighting is necessary. Every man’s muscle and nerve is requisite for its accomplishment. These who owe their services to their country n Gan. Hood’s army, who are dallying at homo, or straggling in out of the way places, or delayed by interrupted railway communica tion, arc earnestly .urged to return to Atlanta. To such, absent under whatever circumstances, we would say, Return to duty. Your comrades in arms call you ; your commanding general invites yon ; the whole people implore yon. When victory perches upon our banner, and our liberties are won through the heroic endu rance and valor of the Confederate army, let it not be said that you were not iu the ranks t* help win the day and participate in iis -tri umphs.

FROM ATLANTA. Griffis, July 30. Citizens arrived here late last night from Atlanta state that the fight on Friday was severe. Our troops fought* with groat gallantry, carrying two lines of the enemy's entrench ments. They now hold their original position. Gens. Stewart and Loring were both slightly wounded. Wheeler, who was reported to have a log shot off, is unhurt. Stewart received a flesh wound in the head. Loring had a ball pass around his ribs, but did not enter the cavity of his body. The raiders captured at Fayetteville yester day morning, and burned a lot of wagons supposed to be about 75. They struck the road near Lovejoy’s and tore up the track about a mile and a half, •at intervals extending five miles. They burned the depot and destroyed nr-.d carried off four miles of telegraph wire before the arrival of their tools for the snore effectual destruction of the road. Our cavalry under Gen . Jackson attacked and drove them off, killing cloven and wound ing seventeen. The raiders fled towards Atlanta- Our loss in the battle on Thursday is estima ted 1500 killed and wounded. A most ferocious shelling of Atlanta lias been going on during the last two days. The enemy attacked Cheatham this morning early, bnt were easily repulsed with consider able loss to them. Our loss none. About fifty raiders are known to bo captur ed near Lovejoy's to-day. Gena. Strahl, Brown and Walthall were only slightly wounded, and are all in the field. Griffin, July 31. Tho passenger train from Atlanta reports that a Yankee raiding force entered Newnan yesterday. Roddy’s cavalry happened to boon band and pitched into the raiders and defeated them with great loss, killing a large number and captnring from seven hundred to one thousand prisoners. A gentleman who was ihere Fays that he counted ulnqty-six dead Yankees*in one place. Col. Brownlow is reported killed. ' We captured all their artillery. It is supposed this is the same party that tore up the road at LoVejoy’s. - We captured tho larger portion of the wag ons taken from us at Fayetteville. The Yankees have apparently abandoned their advance across the Georgia Railroad and are massing on their eentre and right, endeav oring to work down between the city and the river. - Atlanta, Aug. 5. The enemy have been nnusatly active during* the poet fifteen hours. About four o’clock yesterday afternoon a heavy assault was made upon our works held by our skirmishers upon the extreme left- After some stubborn fighting they succeeded in gaining possession of the position, but were subsequently driven from them, and our lines , established. Abon ten ©’elect last night nn assault was made upon our skirmishers line*, extending from the centre to the extreme left, but the movement being anticipated, it resulted iu a complete failure. Brisk skirmishing continued throughout the night up to the present time. Our loss in both affairs is insiginificant. There was comparative quiet in the city throughout the night, and but few elicite thrown, resulting, as usual, in no damage. FROM THE NORTH. It appears that tho Confederates had not rc crossed the Potomac into Maryland. Latest official despatches from Georgia state that Sherman was steadily drawing his lines closer around Atlanta. No tidings from Stor.e tnan. Thacondition of affairs in Missouri is repro-' seuted to bo deplorable in the extreme. A war of retaliation had commenced. Martial law wa.3 vigorously enforced in-Ken- s tucky. IgThe Yankees estimate their losses in the ij battle of tiie 22d at 2500 ; Gary’s, Ward’s, j Williams’, McCook’s, Newton’s, Johnson’s and j Thomas’ Federal divisions were engaged. i McPherson’s remains arrived at Nashvillo en- jj route to Louisville. A steamer struck a snag and sunk on the jj Mississippi River, fifteen miles below Greenville Miss., on the 21st, losing fifty lives, principal ly of the 10th Federal Missouri Cavalry. Orders have been sent to remove everything from Frederick. Despatches from Baltimore suppose tho one my intend making a raid into tho Southern counties of Pennsylvania. The loyal Legion have been .called in Balti more. The Washington Chronicle. says Command ing Generals have requested the utmost sccresy in regard to military operations, and Grant’s operations especially demand necresy. Yorhees has again been nominated for Con gress contrary to his wishes. A Washington special mentions the defeat of Averill, Crook and Hunter by Early, who immediately advanced ou Harper’s Ferry. It is believed that Early will not cross into Mary land, but will attempt a raid in Pennsylvania. Senator Mallory of Kentucky, was killed by soldiers on tho 27th of July. Edwin Paschal, editor of the Nashville Press, was arrested on the loth ult., and gave bonds pi the sura of 35000? The American of the 2d says tho loyal peo ple are again called upon to show how the can bear themselves under disaster. The assault on Petersburg failed. Out forces were repulsed with a loss of 5,000, including prisoners. The strength of the rebel position is unim paired. Rebel cavalry crossed the Potomac fifteen miles above Williamsport, passed directly across Maryland and entered Pennsylvania, going through Mercersburg. About 500 cf MeCausland’s men entered Cfcambersburg and demanded the payment of half a million dollars. Before the demand was complied with, the town was fired and nearly the whole of it burned. . Gov. Cnrtin has called the Pennsylvania Legislature together to make arrangements for the defence of the State. Two hundred and sixty-five of the most vaP uable public and private buildings were de stroyed at Chambeisburg. Most of the stock and merchandize hal been removed before the rebels arrived. The losses from the fire are largely over a mil don dollars. Three thousand people are rendered house less. » A Lancaeter telegram says a raid towards Wheeling is intended by Breckinridge, while Longstreet threatens Washington. Early holds the Valley. Lincoln wa3 at Fortress Monroe on Sunu ay and had an interview with Grant. The Detriot Tribune nsserts that Thompson. Clay and Holcombe crossed the Detroit Itivcr everal days ago, and are now in the Western States. FROM VIRGINIA. Nearly all the force which Grant sent so the North side of the James River have returned to our front. It is supposed that Grant is busy sapping and mining at other points. Deserters who entered our lines yesterday say there is great dissatisfaction and complete t in tho Yankee annuur the results cn Satur day. The enemy arc so near in Grade's front that the pickets on both sides have used band gre nades. Capt. V. J. B. Girardey, Mahono's ,A. A. G-, was yesterday promoted by the President to the temporary rank of Brigadier General, and assigned to the command of Wright’s Brigade. Telegraphic communication between Grant's Headquarters, near City Point, and Norfolk, has been re-established. This line has been so frequently cut that the Yankee General has issued an order to arrest all tho prominent citizens residing ou the route, to be held as hostages against the recurrence of similar acts ia the future. Among the number thus con fined at Fort Powhaten is tlio Rev. -E. C. Mur daugh, of the Episcopal Church. EUROPEAN ADVICES. ‘ A rumor was current in Cherbourg, France, that the Federal a:ul Confederate officers agreed to fight off that place in ten days. ' Confederate loan 7S. The London Herald says Mason had an un official interview with Lord Palmerston. lie was introduced by Lindsay. Meeting satisfac tory to all parties. Tho withdrawal by Lind say of his intended recognition in Parliament, is said to have been the result of the interview. Lord Palmerston having given out and im plied that ho would support the motion at a more opportune moment. An influential delegation on tho 15th waited on Palmerston urging ■ mediation in America, on the plea of humanity. Palmerston "said both North and South were equally sanguine of success, while the South is especially jealous of interference. If an opportunity for mediation should offer> Government would gladly avail themselves of Mason bad an unofficial interview with Pal merston.— IMPORTANT FROM MOBILE. Mobile, Aug. 4. Yesterday and last night the enemy threw an infantry force on Dauphiue Island, seven miles from Fort Gaines. Pee fleet outside is large. This morning a Federal double-euder opened on the transport Dick Keys, then on the fort, which is replying slowly. G-sn. Maury calls on all to enroll themselves for battle. Groat confidence prevails. The Federal ten .amiusi i mated at 16,000. They occupy Holly'Springs, Miss. An Allege!) CoNsmacy for the Forma tion of a Northwestern Confederacy. —The St, Louis Democrat gives a long account of a conspiracy to form a Northwestern Confede racy. Whether the statement is true, c>r wheth er it is simply a bug bear story started in order to get up an excitement in favor of Lin coln, remains to be seen. Hero is the Demo crats account of the organization : The Democrat publishes a long account of the conspiracy for the ereetidU ot the North | .western Confederacy referred to a few days ) since. The organization engaged in this con [ eujracy i3 known as Tlio Order of American (Knights, and the objects to embarrass tbe Gov ernment in tbe conduct of the war, and over | throw the Government, if necessary, for the i supremacy of the Order. Its profession and purposes arc different iu different Btatca. If proclaims a war policy in New York, Pennsylvania, Now Jersey and oth er Eastern States, white in the West it is for peace. The order is a Southern organization, being erected ca the ruins of the Knights of the Golden Circle, and General Sterling Price is Supreme Comma s '..ter. YaHfin-Ugbam, while in Richmond, was made Supremo Commander of the Northern section of the Border ; and a conspiracy was entered ihto between Lira and the rebel authorities to divide the East and -West, and then aid the Southern rebellion. Yallnndigkam’s time in -Canada was principally spent in farthering' this scheme. Holm! a conference with some of the leading spirits in the North soon alter Iris arrival in Canada, and arranged for the estab lishment ot the Order throughout the loyal Stales. * The names of all who visited him at the Clifton Hour-e aro known to the Government, among them William B. Reed, of Philadelphia ; Pendleton-and Pugh, of Ohio ; Kribben, of St. Louis ; Storey! and Merrick, of Chicago, are published. Tito results of this are I also known to the Government, i About the first of January, Vallandingham ! issued ail addre; :; to the loyal States, in which | he calls upon the members to renew their I vows lie says the time is fast.approaching I which will test their sincerity. That the pros ecuiion ot the war is a violation of the rights | <H' tiie States, and that President Lincoln is a usurper. A meeting of the Grand Commanders of the different States was held in New York on the 22d of February, for the purpose of organizing an outbreak on the 10th of Mrrch, the day fix ed for the draft, but no definite plain was re solved on. The names of these conspiratous are also known. The same Commanders bad a conversation with the Supreme Commander at Windsor, Canada, early in April, for a general consultation. Among those in attendance were McMasters, New York ; Cash. L. Hunt, St. Louis ; Lafayette Devilin, Indiana. The programme adopted at these meet ings was, that Vallandigham should repre sent his district in' Ohio in tire Democratic National Convention, and there proclaim *he doctrine of their Order, viz: To pronounce tho existing adminislralk-n of tho Government a power usurped, which the people had a right to expel by force, if necessary ; in fact, inau gurate rebellion in the North, in which he was to bo supported by the order of each G rand Commander, and wan to have an armed body guard at the Convention, for the defence of Vallandigham. This, it was thought, would ■ precipitate the people cf the free States into armed conflict, and would be the signal for the members of the order to unite again;t lawful authorities, r.ill or capture the civil ami military authorities, seize arsenals, arms and public property of ail. kinds, and proclaim the Govcrmneirt over thrown. . . ~ ... Tiiere»is most conv-r.cing evidence of t.ie truthfulness of this statement. The jeaons of Yallandigham’s sudden return to Ohio was ilic ■fear of bring defeated as g delegate to Chicago, and it was only by his pre-ene** his election was secured. Th-i numerical strength of this Order is said to be considerably ov; r a half a million. One hundred and filly thousand arc armed and organized. The order in New Yuii* is called‘•JlcOicllan’s Minute Men.” The Grand Commander in Missouri is Chas. L. Hunt, nephew of J. 11. Lucas, and many years Belgian cdftml; Deputy Grand Comman der, Chas. E. Dunn, city officer of fit. Louis. A lor”' ’I- of the names of members of the Order' in different States, together with full in formation concerning tire v-hole scheme is in the hands of the authorities at Washington, and will probably be given to the public in a short time. tfBOM ALAI!

The lin : t brush took place about i!e;.-acj s i<um, two. mi'es east of Chehaw, early in the morning. T*h ■ Coufi derate force consisted of the two bat talions of Lockhart and Ready, sent from Mont gomery and LoachapukA, under the chief com mand of JLcj. Thomas, fu the first cscou iter the cr.einy were repulsed, but they afterwards renewed the fight and drove our troops back to their original _petition at the bridge over Uphr.upce creek. This jiosition the Yankees probably f It unable to carry, and soon retreat ed. The bridge was saved. The loss on our side was six killed and forty or fifty wounded and missing. The forces of Map Thomas follow ed them up the road, but we believe did not come up wi-'n them again. r> The Confederate forces consisted cf the I ro vost guard of M ir.tgomery, a few cadets from the Alabama Military Institute, and the Con at hemp watts, near Loachapoita in ail 500 or 600. | | FttOM GASf -Ti-ASKaSBE.
