{From Savannah NY-vu ] BATTLE OF THE FAHWiROI Ml-. NEAP. ATLANTA. tan early hour of tbe iytrLt, 21*1 .July. II u j q coipfi w a r withdrawn from tn<- line* fa- j g Peach Tree Creek, and Lxik Cm rou ■ • o ugh Atlanta. The movement set mid to ; luoet the commencement or anot ier retreat, , involving the abandon reent of Atlanta, but it j waa notice*! th -ft the artillery an I or'.- j nance wagon* marced in the rear o' the colitmn. j and more cheerful inferences were drawn tn-.-o- | from. The march wan kept up steadily until, and lyligbt, when, having by a dtcuito'i- route, • nearly to the junction ol : .0 au*a i and Decatur and Forsyth and De i u roue -. j halt was made, and the tired men lul l down in ■ the ranks and slept. • By 7 a. m , the cavalry, which were to lit theudvancc, had pruned.and the column w-.- | moved forward until the, left rested at the junc tion of the two-roads above mentioned. It should be here stated that prisoner* captured subsequently said that they had no idea of an aita k, and certainly none from the direction it came. That their rank* were broken, anu the men scattered picking berne.-. . j.. throng,-, the field, when they h-artl our officers giving commands in the woods. On the contrary, it is said, on excellent authority, that the caval ry, which preceded the infantry, hod a si-. 1 ! Irt ish and lost some prisoners, from wjiom the enemy learned all that was intend - I at least three hours before the attack commenced. The traverses and flank. works hastily thown up along the main line, behind the point whence the Fairground road issue* OTI its way to Atlanta, and the works for artille ry on the field in front of Bates, seem to de cide the point that they had at least a few hours notice of the intended surprise. It should also be stated that Hindman’: division mad.: a demonstration from tl:-* no- tion.ex tending from the Rolling Mill to the right, by way of diversion, and his artillery did good service until the advance of Cleburne’s divis ion brought it into the line of its five. The lino of battle was formed almost parallel with the Decatur road—Cleburne’s division upon the left, Walker’s in the centre and Bates, upon the right. Each division had one brigade it: reserve, in the same formation behind the left centre About 10 a. nr., the advance commenced in line of battle facing to she northwest, •through the woods, and through the fields, and just be fore 12 o’clock the enemy was encountered. Cleburne’s division attacked the first .line of Hanking work*, and by swinging two regiment, around the right flank, captured it. The same manufuvro was successfully performed against the second line of flanking works, and our victorious troops swept up the main line ev. ii as far as the first point where the Fairground and Atlanta road crosses the works ; hut Ibex could not sustain themselves, and foil back to the second flanking lines they had captured. Brigade after brigade was brought tip, and charge alter charge was made by these uud.mu-. ted veterans, but in vain. Alter heavy less in killed and wounded, and two regiment* of Texans, and a part ol a rcglihentof Afbanuians captured, they were fair: to stop, having taken two lines of works, sixteen cannon, two thous and prisoners and several slave! of colors.- That position, however, they held against all attacks, though sorely pressed. Meanwhile Bates caught sight of a train of SHO wagons on ft hill tn his front, with the enemy in their lines of battle,.flanked by artillery to guard them. Walker was ordered to-swing around to the right, with Uie right of Stevens’ as a pivot, and in connection with B ites, attack tl:o enemy upon the hill where the wagons were. This movement was unavoidably made with such ra pidity that the left of Stevens was thrown con suderably in advance of the right of Cist. Stevens' brigade charged most gallantry through a field entangled with briars, through a marshy stream, where men sunk to Ihe waist bells, and overall open field rising gently to the enemy's position. Right in the teeth ol' bailer,ie., and fine* of battle they went, and twice their Ik:;;- were planted in the artillery works. But iu the change of direction their left mid rear were unguarded, and a murderous lire from a foe, hitherto unseen, enfilading an 1 taking them in reverse, Shattered their ranks 1 and drove them back iu confusion beyond the stream and briar patch. 'J hey failed, and sin cess alone gives laurels, yet no troops hotter deserved success than they. In the change, of direction to the right, (list’s brigade was > thrown behind, so that it advanced after Slo vens’ in echelon, instead of a continuous line, 'The heroic Walker, with a full stmt, rode upon the left, which hail the reatost distance to go over, urging it forward. A - terrible tiro * of shell and shrapnel opened as it advanced. MtevenH’ brigade was broken and driv en from the field before it could get to its assistance, but on it swept. General Gist was wounded, but did not leave (he field, t'apla'n Joe Clay Habersham, his aide, was mortally wounded by a shell. As the brigade emerged hum the woods, the line of battle was marked by the ftlaiu. Its left was expose): as Stevens' had been, the defeat of Stevens exposed its right nearly as much, but Walker, imt in air. still cried “Forward,” and on it pressed with eye* fixed upon tho enemy in front. The same hidden foe rose and fired at less than forty yards. Scores of bravo men then went down nev <>r to rise again, and Walker, the chivalrous chief, whose name had become synonimonj with daring intrepidity and a charmed life, fell dead from bis horse. With a lire in front, roar and left Hank, that biigadc was also noon broken and driven from the la id. Mean while Mercer’B brigade, which was tins resort e brigade, had been halted, partially sheltered from lire, ready to be used as support to eith er Gist or Stevens, llcre it wts that Col Olmstead, First Georgia, was wounded in the head with a piece of shell. Be.foio any order for its advance could be given, Gist andfitev -ens were irretrievably broken, Gen. Walker killed, and Hen. Mercer pot iu command of the division, Colonel Barkuloo, 57th Georgia.—the only Colonel present,--taking command ot the brigade. General Mercer ordered the brigade forward to try what Stevens and Gist had failed to ac complish. The brigade advanced to the mar shy stream, when not finding Bale.-; upon his right, and having lost twenty or thirty men by the severe shelling. Col. Barlailoo prudently ordered the brigade back to its former position. General Mercer then ordered lit-; fragment of Stevens' to form upon the right to connect with Bates, and the fragments of Gist to form upon the left, and having concerted with Gen. Bates for a simultaneous advance, again otd. ivd.a forward movement. At this moment an order came for Mercer’s brigade to march by the Kit Hank to the relief of Cleburne, then hard pressed. Having repor ted to Gen. Lowry temporarily commanding Cleburne’s division, it was formed in line of battle with the right nearly touching the Fair - ground road, south and a little east ot" the see oudlitre of tiank works.then occupied by Cle burne’s divison. Maney’s brigade of Cheatham’s division, was at the same time formed upon the right ot Cleburne's division, to the right and north of the Fairground road. The order to advance was giver, to both bri gades, Mercer's and Msney’s at the ifsame time. As Mercer's brigade pass-d through a thick skirl of woods, the enemy opened upon them with cannon and small arms. As the;’ merged from the woods every man Tiiv-.-ed to the right, and Gen. Lowry said to Ids S: ; i had never in his life seen, under such circum stances, so beautiful a lino of battle. 11 w.;; indeed perfect as if on parade. Maney's-LU aud Mercer s right reached the main line ot works at the same spot, where the rea l first outers the works. Gen. Lowry attempted here to stop Mercer's brigade and retorm it perpeu •lioular with the direction of the works, so that it could sweep up the outside while Money swept up the inside. But the enthusiasm was too great. The 101 l swung around to the right and the whole line mountiug the works, he pointed tofhe travel v upon the hill and told Lieut. Col. Bawls, 5 Ith Ga., cunmandiug. to "go ahead." The charge to the top of the hill was irresistable. Jj'tde by side with Mauey's men. yelling like demons, Vat not tiring a'shot. they drove the enemy l>. them and won the much coverted hili. It was supposed by every one that the trover.-. was another tiank work sweephr around the vUI, and wTien an order wa given iu Man . I vig-tde to halt and lie down, it was repeated iu portions o?

Many gallant officers strove to lead tfieii men over the traverse, but some had i.d.i down, all had halted, most thought they bad done all that was intended. ~AII wore willing to follow, but no rK-ogtti/. i Itpuier for the brigade could make himself heatjj- Capt.

They returned to the lunette, and the main work, where little traverses, at tight oP jriat. afforded shelter. Their first volley • .ruck down many officers, among them Lt. Col. Ravi?, 51 ti: Ga., severely wounded in the . .>4th Ga., and Capt. Screven V-iuc’r. 1- '■ Ga , killed. The fire was returned and kept up li rci-ly during the night. When g.

Upon the first was the Yankee flag; upon tile Other the Confederate flag. At that distance, and increasing as the lu ll.-! stretched to the west, the hostile fires were kept up. It was Dear the north point of t|. c travvisss that Willy Neyle Habersham, Cos. F, fifth Ga , was killed. He had fired . ever* I times, and iir the act of firing again when he was shot through the head. 'The 63J Ga.. whi b had been during the day the right of the line, -an ! part of the Ist Ga. extended nio,K; tie- hill beyond the traverse, and were -•red by no works. There were thre'j em brasures in the traverse, and Detween the tra vel -and the. main work it was open. Tiie em-iujfc knowing the ground, fired to weep t!ic im. 1 and the hill where no work was, and to pass through the embrasures of the traverse ; but on all parts of the hill any or.-- who attempted to stand, did so at the im minent peril of his life. For several hours it wa .s impossible to afford relief to the wounded without endangering the lives of all who at tempr-d it. Dead, dying, wounded—friend a i foe—lay in the darkness, not to be dis t'mgnighed from the living—very many of whom had fallen asleep. At la*t the litter bearers were brought up. The wounded and all the dead who .could be recog niz-d were brought off; arms, trophies and prisoi.e: - sent to the rear. And as the hill which Bab-s and Walker failed to take com manded ii . pu-rtion, Geu Hardee gave the or | ij., to fali back, and just before daylight the iHood-Fb'i'nod ground and unknown dead were left to fall into the hand* of the enemy. Such was the Little of Fair Ground Road, or raiher such portions of it as Mercer's brigade was engaged in, or which came under the ob servation of the members of the brigade. There may be inaccuracies in the above ac count, particularly iu Ihe names and directions of roads and movements of troops, but it is in the main correct.

Notwithstanding the advance in the rate of discount to 7 per cent, by the Bank of Eng land, tho demand for money continues veiy brisk, and a further advance to 8 per cent, ia not unlikely. The Naval Engagement in Mobile Bay.—A correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser, an “officer of ihe Morgan,” gives some interesting p irticulars cf tiie naval engagement iu the bay before that city: At 0 o'clock on the morning of the sth, the enemy's fleet was observed iu line of battle coming slowly over the bar, the monitor.-, which were already inside, at the same time moving up to a position in line. As they came up, the ironclads, owing to lack of speed, gradually lost their position ahead, and dropped off to the westward, but the wooden ships, the Ri< hmond at their head, came on in uubrok in line, and preserving the same rate of speed throughout. At near 7 o’clock the tort opened on them, and the Tennessee running down close to the wharf ran out into the channel to intercept them, while the Morgan, the Gaines and the Salem, in the order m which they are named, turned their prows to the westward anil spread themselves in an oblique line across tho chan nel for the same purpose. On came the immense ships of the enemy right past the Fort without slacking their speed or disturbing their order of battle, audit was theu that we first discovered that each of the large ships had a smaller vessel lashed alongside of her opposite to the fort, and that their sides were protected by chains ala Kcarsarge. As the enemy came within range our little squadron opened on them and the engagement soon became general. The Tennessee bestowed her attention on each one as they passed, and at last steered right into the middle of them, while the three other vessels devoted tkomsel selves to the Richmond and Hartford, which was the second ship in the line. It- was at this moment during the process of straightening up iu a line parallel to that of the enemy that the Selma shot ahead, leaving it* in the centre with the Gaines on our star board quarter. Broadside alter broadside did we pour into the Hartford as we ran along on the starboard bow at a distance of five hundred yards, and thick and fast burst the shells around and over us, while showers of grape lashed the water in every direction and embedded themselves in the ship’s si e, and yet, stratgv to say, we were not materially injured, and still more miraculous liter was not a life lost. Oar safety lay principally in the fact of our occupying a position so much ahead euemy that ho was ’unable to train his guns upon us, while the Gaines received his whole broadside. After, this running fight had been kept up some time, the Gaines was observed to round to and head tor the fort, and the Richmond casting off the double ender which' had been lashed alongside of her,, the latter passed ahead and came in between us and the Selma. In doing ibis she detached herself from the vest of the fleet, and stood to the eastward, so as to completely cut off the Selma, seeing which we immediately. left the Hartford and steered on a course parallel to hers at a short distance, the Selma pursuing a like course on the other si lo of tier. Together I have no doubt wo damaged her considerably, and eventually might have sunk her, but unfortunately the Morgan ran aground, and the donble-ender then gave her whole at tention to the Selma, and being a veiy fast ves sel sin: was enabled to choose tier own position and rake her opponent fore and aft. In the meantime one of the enetuy’s monitors was sunk by a torpedo, and the others attempt ed to get between tire Tennessee and the rest of their fleet, and .being much faster than her they partially succeeded. Os Hie further move ments of the 'Tennessee I cannot speak with any certainty, as a severe rain storm burst over us just jifter the Richmond ca t off the “double ender,” which entirely concealed the fleet. When we got afloat we were about to pro ceed again to the assistance of the .Selma, when we observed that she h til already hauled down her colors. We then steamed down to assist tho. Gaines, but as we approached jt was found that she had been beach' and to pre vent her sinking, and that her officers and crew were already leaving her. It was then that we boarded and burned the Phillipi, and on our return, lind.ug that she Tennessee had surrendered, we made fast to the wharf and began lighting the ship in order to attempt the run to Mobile that night. At 1130 I’. M. we cast off from the wharf, and with all the steam we could muster initiated one of the most deeparate adventures of tiro war. After running tiie gauntlet of the whole Yankee-fleet, anil being chased and fired at sue eessively by two monitors and two dotible-ou ders from Fort Morgan to Dog River bar, we reached tho obstructions in safety, having re ceived but one shot during the chase. Gen. Maiione’s Congratulatory Address to ms Division. —-.Gen. Halione issued the following spirited address to his Division, as a testinio" n'tal of his appreciation of their heroic perfor mance on the memorable 30th of July, when Grant,'by exploding his famous mine, undertook to carry our defences by surprise. 1. Tlye glorious conduct of the three brigades of the division.Mahoao’s Banders’ and Wrights, (es pecially the first tv.O,) employed on the ilOtli of July in the expuls'on of the enemy from his possesion of a part of our lines elsewhere than upon our own immediate front, and the mag nificent results acheived in the execution ot the work, devolve upon the undersigned the, ever pleasing office of rendering his thunks and congratulations. The immortalized Beauregard lias praised, you- Your eorps and army commanders have ex pressed their gratitude for your invaluable ser vice on this occasion, and their admiration of the spirited manner in which your duty was ap proached and performed. The enemy had sprung his fust mine in the new plan by which ho shes to penetrate our lines; he had gained possession of the crater and the continuous works; he -had previously massed three corps and two divisions of an other, to prosecute bis anticipated success; and be had given the order for the advance of his crowded line; but, fortunately for the hour, you had made the ground. With the trea'J of veterans, and tho determin ation of men, you charged the works upon which he had planted the hated flag. The in tegrity of the whole line was by your valor promptly re-established ; the enemy’s grand effort to penetrate our.rear signally defeated, and results achieved unparalleled in the histo ry of war, when compared to your strength and the tosses you sustained. With loss than a force of 3,000 efficients, and with a casualty list of 608, you killed 700 of hia people and by his own accounts wounded over three thousand. You captured 1,101 prisoners, embracing 87 officers, 17 stands of colors, 2 guidons, and 1,910 stands of small arms. These are the re sults of the noble work which you perfoiqned, and which entitle your banner scroll of honor able deeds to the inscription. “The Oralcr, Petersburg oOlhJuly, 18G4.” If. While thus we have so much cause for congratulation and pleasure, let. tis not, and never forget the memory of the noble spirits who fell in the glorious work, whose consum mation we were spared to establish and com memorate. Another Important Haueas Corpus De cision.—The Savannah News gives the an nexed account of an important habeas corpus decision just given iu that city : In re, Michael Boley - Habeas Corpus. City Court ot Savannah, Judge Chisholm, presiding. Petitioner sought to be discharged from cus tody of Major John Rutherford, Enrolling Officer of State of Georgia, on various grounds. Ist. Ttiat lie was a conscript in the Confede rate service, because, although having acer - tificate of disability and exemption on account of being unable to do military service, gran ted by the Conscript Surgeon, p.ml based upon "the certificate of the Confederate Medical Ex amining Board, ho was obliged to reporpto said Board for reexamination at any time when ordered to do so. 2d. Because,he was not an able bodied man, and therefore not liable to military duty. « 3d’ Because he was ready to be examined by the State medical examiner for ibis district but there was no suco officer in this district. The court overruled till (he points, decid ng that he was exempt from the Confederate ser vice and liable to militia duty. Tbe Case was ab!v argued by the Hon. Thos. E. Lloyd for the petitioner and by the lion. Julian iiartriilgo for tha State. Mr. Lloyd gave notice that lie wouldjcertiorari the cose to the Superior Court. At ten o’clock this morning argument will bo heard relative to the disposi tion of Boley, pending the Writ of Certiorari Retiring the Currency. —The last opera tion ot this kind, we learn from soldiers trom the battle-field in Jones county. When Stone man surrendered, his'soldiers had large amounts of Confederate money which they had plun dered. This they tore into fragments and scattered, so that they could not be again united. It was their opinion that a “wagon load" of ths "retried” fragments could have been gathered up, but ail utterly worthless. Some of tbe St. Louis papers state that the Confederate guerilla chief yuautreli has been killed.’ FROM M OUI EE. * In the Mobile Tribune we find the annexed particulars in regard to the evacuation of* Fort PowCll: On Frtdry afternoon, one of the enemy’s rams carrying four guns, began to reconnoitre in the viclniiy of the fort on the bay side, and in a short time opeuettake on it. ' That part of the fort was not though two guns were mounted there, but they were so exposed that they could be of but Utile service, and one of them was dismounted on the third or fourth shot from the ram. The fori, however, ex changed some ’ lew shots, with what effect is not known. ■ The ram neared the fort to within a few hun dred yards, doing great damage to Hie works. One shot is slid to have penetrated the bomb proof; two of its water tanks were destroyed, and other damage was done, 'i'be untenable condition of the place was obvious. Col. Wil liams. commander, accordingly determined, be fore his communication with the shore was cut off, to evacuate, so he arranged a fuse to com municate to the magazine ut-a certain time, and then the men were collected together and quietly lanTleil at Cedar Point. The ex plosion is said ta have taken place at about .s o’clock at night. The Tribune also states that— It is reported that the members of the Sig nal Corps that was on little Dauphin Island, were captured by the enemy. Commodore Farrand lias assumed command of the Navy in the absence of Admiral Bu chanan. The Mobile Advertiser lias the following article on the “situation at .Mobile To persons abroad and unacquainted with the topography of Mobile Bay, it will l>e welt to explain that Fdrt Gains is twenty-nine miles from the city, on tho east end of Dauphin Island, and was intended to bo one of Hie de fences of the mam entrance to the Bay from the Gulf. Fort Morgan is on the opposite shore. It lias always been a matter- of query what Fort Gaines was built for. Between it and Fort Morgan there is a water expanse of three and a half miles, but the ship channel is ou the Fort Morgan side, andevery heavy ves sel passing is obliged to run within a mile of the guns of Morgan. Ou the Fort Gaines side life water is shallow. and no ship could pass within effective range of its guns. When the.fleet ran iu ou Friday, we do not learn that Ft. Gaines fired a gun.— Fort Powell lies a little to ihe west and north of Ft. Gaines, and in the direction of (he main land of the western shore of the Bay. lt is built on au artificial island, directly on Grant’s Pass, which it was designed to detond— that pass leading into Pascagoula Sound and the lakes in the direction of New Orleans. Fort Powell is about three qu irters of a mile from the main laud, at Cedar Point, and at low wa le:' is fordable. It was by this easy route that ils garrison escaped. If there had been no ford it is probable that Fort Powell would still be in our possession. * Fort Morgan still commands the main ship channel to the Gulf, and by tills alone Farm gut’s fleet can get to sea. Lie can oifly bring light vessels and transports through Grant’s Pass. Fort Gaines was of no practical value in the defence of the Bay. It adds to (lie facili ties anil convenience of Hie enemy, but was nrt necessary to his operations. The loss of tiie garrison is serious, but more serious was the manner of its surrender—the stain upon our arms. That is to be wiped out. t With these explanations the stranger will perceive that the line of our city defences car ried by Ihe enemy is from twenty-five to thirty miles distant from Mobile, lt lias always been a mooted question among military men wheth er or not it was wise to try to hold tlieso points. Many have been in favor of dismounting all the torts in the lower Bay and bringing their guns and garrisons’to Hie inner line nearer tiie city. The only or the principal reason for a contrary course was found in tho importance of keeping possession of the shores of the Bay so as to prevent the enemy from making a wa ter base near the city for the advance of an ar my. The loss of Grant’s pass gives Hie enemy this advantage. That is, he can now sail up the bay with his transports loaded with sup plies and ti oops, thus dispensing witli wagon trains, and laud Within a short distanoe of the city. But when he does this, he has to en coiiuter (lie inner line of defences. When he does that he is no nearer to taking Mobile than tirant is to taking Petersburg, Sherman Atlan ta, or Foster Charleston. In other words this city is a long ways from “going up”. Gen Cituby does not command, troops enough to take the city by land, nor Famtgut ships to break through the guns and obstructions on tho water front. An officer just from Fort Morgan gives the Mobile papeis flte annexed items: The Tecumach, the first monitor in the Yan kee navy, was sunk by a torpedo while passing Fort Morgan, Her captain went down in her. -.The bomb proof's at Foit Gaines were only ca pable of slid ton ing two hundred anil fifty men —the rest of the garrison were exposed to the Yankee firm It is said that the demoralization ol the garrison caused its commander to sur render. it is thought that. Fort; Morgan will hold out as long as its provisions do, and that will be the best part of a year. ■The Yankee fieet was badly crippled. Near ly every ship i« careened over, and the whole are busily repairing. ANOTHER DECISION OF TAX CO.tnilS- KlOfliLlt ALLAN. * Augusta, August 15, 1804. Editor of tlie Curomole & Sentinel :—! place before yon a letter from Commission er Allan, which will boos interest to many of your readers who have made sales of mer chandize on commission, and who’ will have taxes to pay in January, 1805, upon sales in last quarter of 1804. Yours respectfully, James H. Taylor. [copy.] Office Commissioner of Taxes, j Richmond, August 9th, 1804. j Jams 11, Taylor, Esqr., Augusta, Geo. : Sir .—Your letter of the 27th ult. to the ad dress of tho Secretary of the Treasury, has been referred to me with directions to reply, that the Souliers’ Tax, equal to one-fifth of all oth er taxes of this year, applies to sales made prior to the passage of the act as well as those made subsequently, and the parties who were liable for the tax on sales are liable for this additional one fifth. The Secretary desires me to say that he is invested with no discretion, but is bound by the letter of the law, when free from ambiguity. That the retrospective action of the tax complained of is unquestion ably a hardship, but Congress alone cun give relief. In reference to tiro question you raise as to whether the tax on the last quarter’s sale of the. can be paid in lour percent certili eaten or bonds, he directs me to answer iu the negative. The second section of the Currency Act makes them receivable in payment of pub lic dues, (except export and import duties) payable during the year 1804. Tire tax on the last quarter’s sales are not payable this year, nor can they possibly be paid, because they cannot be ascertained. They cannot be ascer tained till the quarter has expired, and the mo ment that expires anew year is ushered in. The law says that the tax shall be payable iq not less than ten days nor moro than thirty days from dale of notice. The tax payer lias twenty days at the end of each quarter within which to make a return of his sales, so that the tax is not payable during the year J 804, and being not so payable, t ie four per cent, certifi cates tire not a lawful lender in payment there of. It was evidently the intention of Congress to restrict (heir use to the payment of taxes for this year. Whether the restriction be wise or not, it, is not for the Executive to judge. It is sufficient to know by the plain letter ol the law that such is the will of Congress. Respectfully, (Signed) T. Allan, Commissioner. FHOM MEXICO.
