On rectipt vrr wilUlatepr.ee. p FOI.Yf KH\ For a longtime the South clung to the con viction that France anil England would Inter pose to step aw. r, supposed to be so inimical to their manufacturing interests tbat-they could nottolerale jis continuance. Hut this hope hss proven illusory as a dream. Like the mirage <.f the d.sert, intervention lias cheated out vision wiki its delusive promise, ever recedirg uml vanishing os we fancied we approached it. We wi re led into the error by not suit: ient ly considering the reason* which rni-ht defer tiio.e nations from meddling ut all, with a quarrel so remote from them, and in which they liaii only a paitial interest. .When we expect ed anything from tlieir friendship, we failed to appreciate the fa l that nations in their inter coiirsn with each other, are usually governed by an interne aipl exclusive selllshncss wliich forbid* the indulgence of the nobler anJ loftier tientlunnh of generosity and magnanimity. It I.i attiil that to; I 'poiidioiir. have noaoui, and thid is equally lino of g.ivornment'B. Murojioau governments, and especially those of Franpe and England, are accustomed to act with exclusive referenco to their own Interest*; and these are ho wide spread and complicated that they arc forced to consider ail the possible results and contingencies heforo adapting any line of action i:t llrcir foreign relations. They cannot often afford to uudertako «h<j chival rous task of defending the lights or redressing the wrongs of others. When they do so, as in the case of Turkey when invaded by Russia, it is because their own interests are involved, and more is to be gained by intervention than neutrality. Grocej was a rare exception. She enlisted the active sympathies of Franco and England la iter behalf, stirred by the classic recollections and nssticiatiißi* which clustered around her. Hut in that case there was no fear cl rousing a formidable adversary whose resentment might become dangerous. When the French government sent aid to the Ameri can colonics, in (heir struggle witji Ureal Ihi tain, it was prompted by tire wish to injure au ancient foe rather than by friendship for- the colonists or sympathy with their cause. The loss of the cotton crop ot the South has been severely felt by both England and France, in the depression of their manufacturing inter ests. It has occasioned vrydo spread distress to their manufacturing populations. And wo fondly hoped, and avert confidently expected, that they would he forced to interposo to stop the war, in order to obtain a supply of cotton. Hut this hop is bus been utterly disappointed. Three years ol'-cornrnercial and manufacturing embar rassment havo elapsed and yet they stand aloof, declining even to offer tlieir mediation to settle the quarrel. Various reasons have concurred to influence the course of these governments Whon our war broke out, there was an uneasy and un eettleii condition of affairs in Europe, threaten ing a general war. There was tiro Danish im broglio in which Europe generally, and Eng land in particular, might become involved.— 'There was the Polish insurrection. 'I here was a conference of the European powers proposed which might unsettle their relations, and lead to war. The revolutionary- spirit was rife on the Continent, and ready to burst forth, the moment an opportunity offered. A general distrust and restlessness mc'.iaccd the peace of Europe. Franco and England, especially, as limy eVer have, regarded each other with mutual jealousy. Besides, the former had un dertaken the conquest ol Mexico. Ail llrese circumstances combined to make tiro French and English governments exlremely- cautious about becoming involved in any way, in our quarrel, however mud) they might desire to see it ended, which indeed is questioned by many. Howard, too, lias very adroitly Work oil upon tho fears of those goveiniuonls, aliemately threatening anil conciliating them. TUore is no doubt that the English government, especially, has entertained a serious dread of a collision with the Yankees, in view of tho dangers to her extensive commerce from the depredations of their cruisers; and, also, to her Canadian possessions, in the event of a war. The present timid ministry has manifested an extreme aver sion to a rupture with this boastful nation, preferring rather to pocket-insults and submit tamely to indignities, than to risk the dread ed encounter. I,ouis Napoleon, on his part, has had a nice little diplomatic game to play with Seward, to which wo and our cause have been entirely subordinate. lie wanted t >establish Maximil ian, his protege, quietly on the throne ol Mexico. But the Yankeo nation and its Monroe doctrine were in his way, threatening to in terfere with that scheme. To bring the Yan kees to terms, lie pretended to espouse the cause of tho South with chivalrous generosity and zeal, and went the length of permitting a formidable iron dad fleet to be built for us ill French ship yards. This master stroke had tho desired effect. Seward proposed to abandon the Monroe doctrine, uud assent to tho estab lishment of a monarchy in Mexico, if Louis Napoleon would put his interdict on the deliv ery of those ships of war to the Confederates. Tho bargain was struck and has been carried out. Tho construction of the iron clads has been suspended, and tho Yankee government has surrendered the Monroe doctrine, notwithstand ing the resolution of its House of Representa tivis, intended only for effect, in which the Senate refused to concur. This transaction explains much in the course of Louis Napoleon towards the Southern Con federacy, so fickle and variable, alternately ex citing and crushing our hopes, which other wise might bo inexplicable. Seward and Na poleon have been playing a political game of chess, in which the the South and Mexico have been pawns. Napoleon has threatened Seward with the Confederacy, and Seward has mena csd Napoleon with Mexico ; and each has gain ed the advantage for which he played, while the tantalized and repudiated Confederacy has been thrown overboard. But we have reason to thank God, that the i-jnusfatus of foreign intervention no longer lures us into the bogs and morasses ot disap pointment—that we no longer expect or desire it—that wo scorn and spurn it as nu obsolete and rejected idea—having discovered that we can achieve our iudepeudeuee by our own ef forts, without the help of any Prince or poten tate beneath the sun. Wo will have this im- portant advantage that when we emerge from the fiery ordeal of war, a free and independent people, we will be untrammelled l-y a single obligation to any government or nation on earth, lie will be free to adopt our own poli cy, foreign and domestic ; free from all entang ling alliances : and tree to work out our own grtfflti and glorious destiny as a nation in our pwu way, and according to our own ideas. Aiwitrtt Rerouted Raid.—lt is rumor'l that the enemy h..c.>' made another raid on the an l Atlanta Railroad, tearing up if hayrack near Joncikorot CO.YFI’SIOJ AMO VO THE KWEMY. of Ohio and Win'- r David of Mary, fend ktve taker such aeftea in reference to Liner#) as commits them taopposition to nis re-election. They must surely be lost to ail seif respect if they can give their impporS t- a man whom they denounce as go utterly wan tit.g in ail the qMpftlrations for a position of risponitibiiiiy auutrust. Fhould the Conven tion which they bars proposed at Buffalo be held, and should another candidate of tee abolition party he nominated there, this -with those* already in the field will give us three nominees from the same family. Botwer n Fremont, Lincoln, and the new candidate whoever be may be, we should have very little to choose. Ea-h one of them must come before the people pledg 'd to a prosecution of the war against the Confederates. Jhe Chieve laud nominee would be the exponent of the for eign eh.-ment of the Republican party. Lincoln would receive llic support cf the shoddy ccn tmotors an ! these men m civil and military Rfe who are indebted to the administration for money- and office ; wliil-t the new nominee would command the votes of that large class of disaffected persons who have lensili'ity enou.di left to bs disgusted by the selfishness anil dishonesty of those whom they have once supported. We notice these quarrel? among the mem bers of the same household with soiao satis faction, because they promise such a distrac tion of the bloody dynasty which lias ruled the North for the past three years as may re sult in its entire discoiu lUure. The greater < tiio number of candidates of the war parly, the stionger Ike probability that the Conven- tion which is to meet at Chicago hi a few 'lays will bring out au unconditional peace man for the Presidential chair, and that ho will re eeivo a majority in fho electoral college. Jf all the anti Republican elements which are found in the North can be made to coalesce, we should have no doubt of their success. There is danger lest a division occur among the Conservatives. The recent demonstration in favor of McClellan shows that he has many friends. Should the Chicago Convention promulgate a peace platform, and should Mc- Clellan accepit it—an event not.altogether im probable—he would sweep everything before him. With a patriotism which could not be impugned—us the Yankee:! count patriotism with (he prestigo of having been one of the most successful Uorfcral.i of the war, with the sympathy of numerous classes in view of the maltreatment which lie has received from a jealous Commander-in-chief, his triumph might lie predicted with confidence. Amidst, all the confusion that prevails among our enemies, it is manifest that peace principles are constantly gaining ground. Three years ago tho very journals who proclaimed tha! •‘the man who says one .word about peace before this wicked rebellion is crushed, is a traitor, and deserves a traitor’s death,” are scon speaking out in favor of peace. It has become apperaht to every thinking man at the North that the subjugation of the Squth, if a possible event at all,, can oniy bo effected by the rr,in of the North. Greenbacks are worth at the presenTtimo only thirty-live cents on the dollar—private accounts say less than twenty cents on Ilia dollar—and at the enor mous expenditure which Hie war involves,finan cial ruin, if the slrife goes on, is as inevitable as the death of Hie pali.-nt who lias received a mortal wound. They see that the Southern States aiu determined to hold out until all means of resistance are exhausted, and I hat in the event of their conquest the victors will ac quire but a nation of paupers who can add nothing to their wealth. Reason, we are pleased to observe, begins to dawn where until lately “madness ruled the hour.” Returning sanity pere.-ives that the oniy wise, patriotic and just course is to rail an armistice to take some earn est and practical step for tho settlement of all mattet sin controversy. If Gen. Lee Gan sus tain his position in Virginia for die next ninety days, itnd in his ability to do so wo have every confidence, and if Gen. Hood can keep tho enemy et bay for a like po-iod, even as successfully os be has during ihe month in which he has been in command of our forces, wo shall witness a revolution at the North al ready began, which will bring a speedy ter mination to the bloody war which now desolates our territory. Lot us’do all in our power to in troduce this much desired result. The Late Rumored Raid. —The Macon Con federate says that the rumor that lheYankee a were again on a raid through Central Georgia., grow out of a party in Jasper county having a difficulty in tho road on Thursday night with several mounted men. It is said that tho man who had imbibed freely, met a squad of horse men and demanded passports, papers, etc. of them. Instead of accommodating him, th; horsemen pitched in and gave him a sound thrashing, lie made off and reported that Ivo hl l been attacked and defeated hy twelve thousand terrible Yankees ! Tho aiarrn spread rap id 15', aud is perhaps still going ahead, and ail without any other foundation than this ri diculous circumstance. A New Commander op this Post. —It will be soeu by a special order in another column, that Brig. Gen. A. R. Wright has been assigned to the command of this post. Wo think this u very excellent appointment. Gen. W. thorong- Iv understands the duties of tho otlico he has been selected to fill, and is every way quaifled to discharge them. Besides, wbat is more, he is an officer in whom the community has con fidence, and the public know full well that Au gusta will now be ably defen led-ia case an.at tack is made by raiders. We think our citizens have good reason to congratulate themselves — both because a change has bc<-u made, and be cause the place has been tilled by so popular and efficient an officer. Davidson’s Yankee Raiders.— The party Os raiders which were captured near Atlienrand sent to Macon on Tuesday last, it appears be long to Maj. Davidson’s command. This is the party that destroyed the Central Railroad from Gordon to the Oconee brigdge, and which passed in two miles of Milleilgevillo on their retreat to wards Sherman's lines. The Miliedgeville Union learns that the Quartermaster escaped. 110 had with him $15,000 taken from the Government at Gordon. Many individuals lost money and other valuables by Davidson’s thieving baud. A Retaliatory Measure.— Samuel Crook. Twenty-Second New York cavalry, captured at Ream's station on the 30th of June, has been placed in irons and close confinement at Macon, Georgia, in retaliation for the similar treat ment of Col. Angus W. McDonald, captured near Lexington, Virginia, by Col. Crook's regiment during Hunter’s raid up the Valley. Yellow Fever at Wilmington. —A gentle man just from Wilmington informs us that all the blockaders are now stopping about thirty miles below tho city—at Fort Anderson—some thirteen are now congregated there. All of them have one or more eases of yellow fever on board. Stevedores have been sent down and tho vessels are unloading their cargoes and reloading at that place. The Alauama Militia. —Gov. Watts of Ala bama,- is doing all he can to collect togesher the Militia of that State for its defence. Some Confederate officials are. howtver, doing what they can to hinder him in his good work. Not withstanding iho exertions of the latter, we are gliul to learn that the citizens of Easter n and Middle Alabama are flocking to Mobile to in driving back the invading foe. Yellow Fever at Nassau. —We are infoiin ed that tk'm.iv fever is raging violently a t Nassau.'Lurga. numbers are dying daily. — From Ekar cf Suebmax’s A;:>it. —A scout who has just returned from rear cf Sherman’s array gives the Ath as Watchman the annexed axe nut of the trip : We started oiTt, five of- us in number, on the morning of the 26th of July. We worked our way around the army unmolested, and without coming in Contact with the enemy until we came to Frogtown. on Etowah river. We there came- very near running into 460 Yankees and tories before hearing of the danger we were in; and being so close on them, we were fearful ft would not do to turn back, and we took a cir cle as near to them as we thought we dare go. inquiring for forage for 1,500 or 2,000 horses, and made the citizens belive that there was that number of Wheeler’s Cavalry in the neigh borhood, and would soon have the Yanks sur rounded. Our plan had the desired effect. Some tory gave them information of our being in the neighborhood, and they took an aiarm and crossed over the riv.ecin groat haste, butn i :g the bridge behind them, which left us free from danger. Wo were in forme'! by citizens that we could not proceed any further in that direction with out coming in contact with the enemy. We however, crossed the river into Dawson county, -n 1 there learned that the fid Indiana cavalry, '.’eiis'. i mg of about 400 men, bad been in Pick ens and Dawson counties for some time, and had organized one company of “home guards” in Pickens county and one in Dawson, and such a reign of terror and cold blooded murder never existed ia any country. A man by the name of Joba A. Darnal is commander of the Post at Jasper, and the de oiee has gone forth tli it every Confederate sol dier caught north ot Etowah river must die. On fiie 24th July, C.tpt. McEiroy—who had some time ago been taken prisoners and made iiD escape at Chattanooga, and had fallen in with some of our scouts and was trying to work his way back to our army—was* killed by the lories and fil Indiana cavalry. On the same day, John Connalfy, oi Capt. Wilson’s com pany. from Murray county, was captured ; also, Samuel Evelr, of Gordon county, and Win. Capebart, of the 67th Ga., and one other On the next day they were ail taken to a grave yard near Jasper, together with an old citizen, reported to be liussel Peek, from Murray coun ty, who had “refugeed” from them and was trying to get back home, and there placed them with their backs to tho cowardly wretch fces who wore lo execute them. But the prison ers, disdaining the iTh-a of being shot in the back, tore the blindfold from their eyes and about faced, opened their breasts to them, and in a few minutes were in eternity. Gruel treatment to women and old men, .robbing and burning houses, is oi frequent oc currence. They pursued two ladles from Mur ray couuty—Mrs. Peoples, after killing her husband, D. M. Peeplos, and Thos. Eceples’ wife—-to Frogtown, took thorn prisoners, treat ed them shamefully, and have sent them North lo some filthy prison. Some portions of the country in Sherman’s rear they have been very kind to : the citizens at Spring Pisco, for instanoe, they have never injured materially, but one family, and that was caused by tones in the place. Elias Allred, of Pickens county, iia3sent hi:; family North, joined in with the tories and bushwhackers, and been appointed bv Jim Brown, bogus Governor, Representative "for the 10th Congressional District of Georgia to Hie Federal Congress, and it is said that he is the grand cauce oi this reign.of terror in this couu ty. After resting a few days, I started back to the army; and found the country full of strag gling Yankees, and pursued a squad of -about sixtyjfrom between Athens and Gainseville,pass ing near the hiiter piaee, to the Shallow Ford, on Chattahoochee. The citizens taking their shot guns and failing jn with us, increased oar numbers to about twenty. We came up with them near Kellogg’s in, Forsyth county, and about one half of our squad charged taem.— Tho Yankees, most of them, abandoned their horses and lied to the woods, every man taking liis own course. Some three or four hours af ter, a portion of Col. Young's Battallicn came to our assistance, and did good service in help ing pick up about fit) prisoners aal 50 horses and mules. After res' ing our horses we started for headquarters, and on Sunday last near, Gaines ville, we hoard of a squad of Yanks' being in the neighborhood. Wo immediately divided our squad. Lt. Friioiuia, of the fid Confeder ate Cavalry, being in command, took one mi n with bin;, leaving the others of us to guard our horses, ;u;J went in pursuit of them, and soon came up with them. 'The lieutenant ordered them to surrender, having his pistol presented at them. They were five in number, and im mediately surrendered. They belonged to the Bth Michagan. I would, if it was prudent, speak of the gal lantry of citizens of Halt and Forsyth counties; buts say this, that a truer, braver set of men never lived. Our friends generally in Sher man’s rear are full of hope, and are many of them singing that good old song, “There’s a better day coming.” Confederate: .Cotton- Loan. —Tho I r dec o J aly says: The evident indications of tho failure of Grant’s campaign ’n Virginia has given more life to the transactions in this security; tbo value has, moreover, advanced, and v.o close firm at sixty-seven to sixty-eight. To the Editor of the Index —Sir; Some slight misappreuensions having lafeiv arisen about the position ol holders of the Confederate 7 per cent loan, wbo wish to convert their bonds into cotton, permit me to reply through your col umns to the inquiries which arc addressed io me cn this subject. The Confederate Government is bound by the terms of the.contract v. itli Messrs. Erlauger A Cos., to deliver the cotton in redemption of tltt-so bonds, after peace “in tho ports of Char leston, Savannah, Mobile, or New Orleans during the war “at points in tho interior of the country within ten miles of a railroad or stream navigable to the ocean.” In practice tho Con federate Government even exceeds its obliga tions under this contract; and to facilitate tho conversion of the bonds, it has provided that ccit.un duly authenticated certificates of depos it should have the same validity as the bond? themselves ; and in exchange of these certifi cates it Las in many cases delivered cotton, when it was practicable, at Gunpoints of ship ment, the londholdors defraying the additional expense of inland transportation. This has been extensively done at. the port o( Wilmington, although that.port is not among these specified in the top tract, until the stock of Government cotton there has become ex hausted. 'lhe proximity of that port to the theatre of operations in Virginia and Georgia, and the consequent strain upon the means of transportation for military purposes, will ren der it difficult, ter the present, to replenish the stock, and it is therefore probable that tiie Government will bo temporarily unable to ac commodate bonduolders at that point. At other points, notably Mobile, these reasoos do not apply, and one vessel exclusively engaged in exporting Loan Cotton, has just completed her fifth round trip between Mobile and Ha vana. Other vessels plying between neutral ports and Texas, have also been eminently successful. I need scarcely repeat that the Government is anxious, not merely to comply with the strict letter of its contract, but to afford to the bondholders in addition every facility and convenience consistent with its military neces sities. In consequence of this liberal policy, over £300,000 have already been converted into cotton, or exchanged lor certificates for that purpose. The semi-annual interest, and the dividend of the sinking fund, due September 1 upon tbe amount of the loan' remaining in circulation, is now in the hands of the agents of I,he contractors, Messr. J.

Deplorable Condition op Tennessee The annexed extract from a private letter will give our readers some idea of the present con dition of East Tennessee: “The country is in a most deplorable con dition. Bushwhackers, consisting of deserters fu’iu both armies, refugees from justice, Ate., arc robbing and murdering the people in discriminately, having no regard for age, sex or political opinions. Two cases have lately been reported here. Mr. Waugh, an enrolling officer of Carter county, Tennessee, was shot in his own house and robbed of his watch aid o’her property while dying in the arms of his wife. Another man had been wounded and was lying in bed having his wounds dressed, when the notorious Kirk entered the house, and after magnanimously -offering him a choice of positions in which to be shot, coolly put a pistol to his head and blew his brains out. “Many houses of Both Union and Southern nit n have been brant, and these outrages are ot daily occurrence.

Tun Dutv of IJapratirs from Confederate Service.-— On last Thursday his Honor Judge Hook disposed of seven cases—coming up un der Habeas Corpus—of prisons claiming to be exempted from Confederate service and there fore from Stite service. The decision in the ease ot Jackson and others we publish and let it speak for itself. The case of Wilson D. Walk er pie,son led two grounds of exemption, to-wit: that he had furnished a substitute under the law of Congress allowing substitution, mid se condly, lie was a Constable, and for both reasons exempt. The Judge decided that the first ground did not exempt him from Confederate service though the second did. But that while being a Constable did exempt him from Con federate service, he wa3 nevertheless a part ot the militia ot Georgia, and as such, hound to obey the Commander in Chief of the State. The case of Dr. Mills presented the fact that he was a physician entitled under-the law of 17th Feb. 1864, to the-exemption from Confederate ser vice. The Judge held that as he was thus out of the actual seivice of the Confederate States, and had shown no exemption from the State service, he was subject to do duty in the mili tia. The case of L Hoover presented tho facts that he was enrolled for re: vice in the Confed erate army, but had lately given fils bond as a planter under the act ot 17th Feb. ISC4, and had not yet hoard from his application for exemption ; and further that he ha i a furlough from the Confederate Enrolling officer until his papers should bo' returned. The Judge held that when his papers were returned if his application was accepted lie would be exempt from Confederate and liable for State service. Blit until Ms papers were heard from (n reason able time being allowed for that purpose) he was enrolled and subject to seivice in the Confederate army, and could, not now be taken by the Btato officer.- it will thus be seen that all ihJsc cases rested upon the principle so prominently s?t forth in the decision in tra case of Jackson and others to which we invito attention. —Sandersville Georgian. ■ r—■—CßßM3Bi*» ■ 1 - Frightful .Affair at Niagara Falls.—Fa lini, who I tow «.;■> V-C.3 a rival of, ntoiulin on the fignt repi; at Niagara Falls, has been making preparations to ford the rapids above the American fall cn a pair of iron slilts, con trived for the purpose.

The Mails and Pcs cofitcls. —The outrageous mismanagement of tile mail system in this quarter of tiie country demands the attention of the post office authorities. Our subscribers complaiif daily of tho manner in which their papers arc neglecetd to be delivered, whilst we ourselves are annoyed beyond all precedent- in the slow delivery of our exchanges. Papers are delayed two and three days on their way to us, thereby placing ourselves and our readers away behind the times. Tiie very spirit of indolence seems to have enervated every power connected with the postal system. Carelessness and indifference sits in tbe offices like owls with folded wings and closed eyes. We cm only reiterate to our scubscribers tha t our paper is regularly mated in time for each mail and placed in the post office here. Wo are well aware that our postefficejiere, is to blame for.the neglect, in many casrs, of complaint; the cause however, is that there is not sufficient force in the office to do the work. We do hot look on this as sufficient ex cuse, because there are many men now being retired from army service who would make good post office clerks and can be detailed for ■the purpose. Numbers of them too. are anxious for the position and could do the duty as efficiently as any person after a little experience.
