Bad Manaoemint iv High Places.—A quatrel
between Col. Fontaine, the-President of
the Virginia Central Rrilroad.and Mr. Reagan,
Postmaster General, In regard to the can ving
of the mails. The Richmond papers are ven
tilating'tho matter. According to tho facts
brought to light,' the Post Master General is
getting the woistof tho tight, and if all that
is said about the officer is correct, ho stands
before the public in a very unfavorable light.
It appeals that the contract by which thoCeu
tral Railroad carried ’the mail, involved a pay
rn nt for daily services. When the bill was
handed iri -at the Department for hist year’s ser
vices, the usual charges were made for those
days also, on which tho presence of the enemy
or the impressment of (ho Government bad
prevented tlie carrying of mails. Mr. Reagan
refused to pay for services not rend r;d, and
upon Col. Fontaine’s insisting on his l ight to de
mand payment for services which he was willing
to render hut prevented from performing by
superior force, fell back on his reserved l ight
to fine the company for every day, on which
the mail was not actually carried. It is also
suggested that by act of Congress the contract
ought to have been made by the year and not
by tire day, and that the neglect of this pro*
vision places the Postmaster General in a some
what embarrassing position.
Tire result of the disagreement is this. The
most populous portion of Virginia is cutoff
from all mail facilities.
Wo have always supposed that the Post
Office Department of a country was for the
convenience of the people, llut judging from
the way the Post Oft ice- Department of the
Confederacy has been managed for some time,
one is forced to cornu to the conclusion that
such is not the case. There is one thing cer
tain—no countiy was ever cursed with sucli
one horse (He t il facilities ns those which the
cili/.' us of tho Confederacy are compelled to
put up jwith by an incompetent lie id official.
There is room for improvement of a most
radical order in the Confederate Status Post
Office Department, and wo hope it will be made.
A .s' ( )(Tii A< iKi n;s I'nLicy. Thero is an out
rageous policy now being pursued byConfed
mate ollieinlH which ought to he stopped at
once. It is this. A planter lias his horses and
(allies captured hy Yankee raiders ; those ani
mals are ro-CHpliired hy our troops ; the origi
nal owner appears and proves they are his
properly heyond a douht; yet officials, instead
of giving them up, as they ought, insist that
they belong to the government, and dispose of
them as government property. Perhaps this
policy is all right according to red-tapeism—
hut according to common sense it is outrage
ous, to say the least, it is nothing less than
roblieiy ba.,e, bald face robbery, and any gov
ernment that endorses such a policy endorses
that which is criminal.
We tiust that tie) authorities at Richmond
are not aware of the high-handed, disgraceful
proceedings of some of their officials in Geor
gia during the past few weeks. We also trust
that they will put a slop to all such proceed
ings hereafter.
It corta’nly is bad enough to bo robbed by
an open enemy, without being robbed by pro
fessed friends, it our people are to be plun
dered by both indiscriminately, as they have
been lately, it will net by long beiore we will
bo pretty ilfectually used up. The evils we
have spoken of can be corrected if those in
power only see tit. We hope they will.

with that city and Dalton had ceased. Wheeler
had attacked the Yankee troops a4 the hitter
place under Gen. Svlbold, drove them out, and
occupied a portion of the town. lteinforce

Tunnel Ilill. Other portions of his forces are
engaged cutting the road south of Dalton. A
train on its way to Sherman is said to have
been captured at Altoona.
From Atlanta. —We learn from a gentle
man just from Atlanta that Irom all that ho
observed whilst there and from eonversatiou
with ofticois high ill command, there is no
reasonable doubt that the place will continue
to bo held against all the ctferts of the enemy
to capture it.

Pabticujyks or t.ik Cattle Caitlre.—Qq
Sunday morning lffh inst, a portion of Gen.

53d Alabama regiment, commanded by Lieut.
Col. J. S. Gaines, 21th Alabama Battalion, and
two pieces of light artillery, commanded by-
Lieut. Davis, formerly of Terrell’s battery,
numbering in all about lh.ee hundred men,
struck the \\ estern A Atlantic Railroad between
Adausvillo and Calhoun. They destroyed the
track and telegraph at two points.
While this work was progressing, a large
body of Yankee cavalry, supposed to number
about 1600. having in charge 1700 beef cattle,
fresh from the blue grass of Kentucky, came iri
sight. The Alabamiaus immediately attacked"
and routed the Yaukees capturing the cattle
nnd 2."> or 30 horses and 61 prisoners, and kill
ing and wounding about thirty of the enemy.
They also burned a small wagon train. Among
the prisoners was a tory preacher ffom Pick- ’

tor of the Petersburg Evpr. -s 1r.3 seen come
■ reap 1 pi! oners from Lincolndom. From
his account we gather the annexed :
These men were captured by Die enemy in
the battle ol the Wihterm which was fought
• n tie sth of May. when they w. re taken to
Point Lookout. There (hey found tho piis<>:i
crowded with our men, and over them a guard
of negroct v’n-i placed, who treated them with
all sortsof indignities, and for the least pro
vocation would shoot them down like dogs, ;n
sight obthe whi'c efficers. They were put on
-hort rations, ami the water which was sup
plied from wells was of the most unsvbolsome
kind.
'ilie;e men remained here for n few days,
enduring insult and suffering hunger, when,
seeing a nigro soldier deliberately lire upon
the prisoners, killing two and wounding two
others, they ma le up their minds to escape,
if possible, fioia such a place, and so yielding
to the solicitations of the officers su command,
they look the oatbjof altegiance. and were mus
tered into (he United States service
From Point Lookout they were assigned to a
regiment now doing provost duty, and com
posed principally of deserters from the Confed
erate army and prisoners who have taken the
oath. They remained with this regiment for
tjyo months. At length the auspicious time ar
rived and on the first of August they leit Nor
folk, set out on tlieiijjourney, and arrived safe

There is considerable business being done in

Tuts Pkoiu.b ash Their Government.— The
Hichmoud Whig publishes the prjcLimatiou of
Gov. Allen against the military infringing up
on the lights of the citizens of Louisiana, and
comments thus upon the subject:
There is no lallacy more dangerous than
that in time of public danger a disregard of
public right may safely be tolerated, and iliat
it is the duty ol the citizen to submit to domes
tic usurpation in order to avert foreign aggres
sion. Tbe fallacy consists in assuming in ■ ad
vance that there is an absolute ami irreconcile
able antagonism between the duties which the
Government owes to the people, and the duties
which the people owe to the Government.
There is 110 such antagonism ; at least in a
country iu which the Government is merely vbo
embodiment of power coufuired, and in which
authority is based upon vested rights and ac
knowledged liberties. Tyranny never assumes
a more alluring form Hum ty-hea it disguises it
self in the garb of patriotism, and attempts 19
identify itself with the cause of freedom. Na
turally confiding, the people are prone to trust
the assurances of those who wow Id offset their
fears against their rights, and stitie their
tanco to innovation by appeals to their patri
otic feeling. It is precisely for theso reasons
that the season of greatest peril from abroad
is likewise the season of the greatest peril at
home.
It is time when the demagogue changes his
accustomed tactics, and ceasing to play upon
the popular love of power, gains his cud by
playing upon the popular love ol country. *ll is
objects are the same, hut his arts are different.
Aud being different from those lie has usually
employed, they are the less recognized ; and he,
though still the demagogue and the hypocrite,
gains credit for saga-ity and wisdom urpl con
servatism, hy becoming the tool of power' in
place ol' its assailant, aud tbo denouncer ot
those rights and liberties of which ho was form
erly the Self constituted champion.
The only true attitude for a free and reason
ing people is that of a scepticism not so vooted
as to exclude a proper contideiice ; an;} of a
contideuce uot too ample to admit a proper dis
trust. Those who would persuade the people
of these States th.it patriotism cannot he man
ifested. or independence secured, except by a
sac idee of rights and liberties for which alone
independence is worth having, are enemies to
the country as much us -the Yankee inyadeis,
aud even are more dangerous.
The Armistice Movement at tub North.—
The Washington correspondent of the Nsw
York Herald writes thus concerning the ar
uiistiee question :
The armistice question is almost the only
topic iu Washington. It is known positively
that prominent republican party managers re
gard it as vitally important that Mr. Lincoln
-should immediately take st-epts to open nego
tiations in this respect.
A conTcrcuto was held a few days ago of N.
England leader.-, iu which it was concluded that
the only safety ot the administration party, un
der existing e rcutustauccs, is iu proposing ne
gotiations lor the termination of the war. ’t hose
necessarily involve an armistice, which will al
low a postponement of the draft until after
Hie election , aud will also permit soldiers tft bo
rent home to vo'e.
Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, has paid
a visit to Washington, to represent to the Presi
dent tiro opiuiou of the Republicans of New
England that this necessity exists. Mr. Fes
senden, the new Secretary id the Treasury, who
is coginznit of the movement,.ia mlderstood
to have declared that if something of tliis kind
is not done promptly, he wiil be compelled lj
reliie Itvm the Cabinet.
The President is warmly in favor of the expe
riment. lie thinks that, “if it can do no good,
it will do 110 harm to try it on.” if is the last
card to ho play.xl to ooiifuse the Chicago Con
vention aud take the wind out of the sails of
the peace men. That it will b3 done, aud
speedily, there is no doubt. The Republican
leaders here are not only full of it, but they in
sist that without it they will be defeated.

THE AMERICAN QUESTION IN. ENGLAND.
Tiic friends of tho North in England were
ranch disappointed that the reported capture
of Atlanta was not confirmed, while the South

The Morning Post lias an editorial denounc
ing the Kidnapping of British subjects for the
Federal service,and refero specifically to the
case ot the several Irishmen who were sub
jecled, in June last, to gross indignities after
their release was obtainek and says if the
lacts are proved, the British Government
should not be satisfied with auything less than
the exemplary punishment of all concerned in
the outrages.
The Times has an editorial on the sames üb
ject, holding it up to Irishmen a3 a warning
not only against the Federal service, but
against emigration to America.
The London Daily News editorially refutes
tt.e representations against the labor market
in America, and shows that it is in a most
healthy state, and offers irresistible attractions
to emigrants.
.The London Times publishes a letter from
Richmond, dated Jline 27. The writer express
es the belief that Gen. Grant knows full well
that neither Petersburg nor Richmond can be
taken by fighting, and that he will make no
more onslaughts on the Confederate breast
works, but will quietly assume tho defensive.
Ho says it is a question of suleistenco, but
Richmond can never be starved out until the
two railroads from the South, as well as the
James river canal and the railroads from the
North are utterly annihilated, which lie con
tends Grant is not strong enough to do. lie
admits Grant's opperatioas may occasionally
cause the Confederate army to be placed on
Initiations but this will not affect the result.
THE SETTLEMENT OF TUB DANISH WAR.
Tho arrangement of the Danish question has

Jutland continues till the final conclusion of

motion was offered, and supported by a con
siderable number of membra s, declaring that
the silence with which the announcement WBg
received must noli be constru 'd into an ap
proval of the conduct of the Government.

Danish recruits undergoing a preliminary drill

Duchies are surrendered in their entirety, with

The lelcs on the occasion of the proclama
tion of the Empire were terminated on the 21st
of June by a grand ball, which Gen. ljazame
gave to the Emperor Maximilian and the Em
press Charlotte. In the midst of the rejoicings
the Emperor was pot neglecting public busi
ness, but conferred every day with his minis
ters, as well as with Gen, Mazaine, M.'Cortu
and the Archbishop of Mexico. The religious
difficulties have bpen surmounted, the public
cervices are assured for a considerate time, the
foreign corps is formed, and the French regi
ments which are to embark in September have
been told off. The whole of have
already left, the engineers are about to go, and
there will thou remain in Mexico only seven or
eight thousand French soldiers, belonging to
detachments operating in cjistaut parts of the
empire.
Beiore landing at Vera Cruz, Maximilian
sent messengers to the hostile chief asking them
to meet, and confer with him at Mexico, pledg
ing their safety, and proposing that they should
serve their country under him. Juarez res
ponded with dignity and courtesy, yet in a vein
of indignation and ridicule. Diaz answered by
ordering that Maximilian’s messenger be put
to death within twenty four hours. What re
ply the other chiefs made does not yet trans
pire, and the npte of the Emperor was kept se
cret. The messenger to Diaz was saved
through the interposition of eminent Liberals.
So it will be gecn'the new Emperor will have a
more thorny path in unfortunate Mexico than
was generally supposed.

That our cavalry in Sherman's rear will be

doubt. The country is eahiy traversed and
the defences of the line iu the Yankee rear
easily overcome. Active and sleoplessly vigi
iant men are on the road and the results of
their work in a lew days will decide Sherman
on his fartht r policy. A wholesale destruc

places him in great peril.

and touching the powder as it rolled out with
a match, when it exploded tearing a large bole
in his dvU, a gash on tna side of his neck, and
cut his leg below the knee. It was thought
that the powder was out of the shell. It is
strange that there were several persons, in the
office at the time, but none were hurt but the
pegres.
The economy with which the enemy shelled
our lines and Atlanta for two days, is thought
to indicate a want of ammunition, and tins
want, it may be, has been caused by interrup

A prisoner brought into Richmond describes
the morale of Grant’s army as being anything
but favorable. Grant, he says, has effeCtualD
broken the spirit of his army by forcing the
men upon poiuts which the merest military
tyro could discover were impregnable against
assault. T licv look upon him as an obstinate
and unscrupulous butcher,and his army is called
the‘ slaughter pea." The prisoner also says
the army is almost united in its preference
for MeClelian for the next President of the
Northern States.
Ills virtue has received a crowning lustre since
the opening of the present campaign, “lie
took good care of his men,” they say, and the
contrast with Gnant elevates him accordingly.
William 11. Rodgers, Samuel B. Hearn, John

sharged with being spies and engaged in giving
aid and comfort to .the Confederates. It is
known in Richmond that they were not spies.
The two former were blockSde runners, and
the two latter were visiting Maryland to see
their relatives. Some of their friends have oh
tained a hearing of tho President, and, we
learn, proger retaliatory measures will be
adopted, in case tho senlence of the enemy
is carried out. The matter will be treated
quietly.

by the flag of truce boat, was assigned a state
room, and made every arrangement for the
journey. At night the boat was visited by
Grant in person, who without the knowledge
of the Vice-Consul, had an interview with Ma

passage in the boat to that official or any one
else. The consequence was that the Vice-Con

FROM THE VALLEY.
We have authentic intelligence from the
Lower Valley up to Tuesday morning. Sheri

towards Charlestown. Gen. Early’s headquar

Shepardstown, on the Potomac. We arrived on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad just in time
to continue the suspension of travel. The dam
age lately Inflicted by us had been repaired,
and the cars were to commence running the
next day. The railroad melt will now lravc to
begin their work anew, an t will, doubtless,
consider Early, a very troublesome superin
tendent ol transportation.
Sheridan avoided a fightin his retreat,m iking
no stand save a small attempt of one at
OJjarlestontown. His anxiety seemed to he to
escape.
W« learn that Sheridan caused all the Wheat
Stacks to bo burned, in his advance from Win
chester to Strasburg. Iu his flight ho
had not time to perpetrate the same villainy
upon the farmers between Winchester and the
Potomac. A number of dwellings were burn
ed and citizens arrested and carried off; though
not to the extent which reports have alleged,
A party of Mosby’s men camo upon a squad of
fifteen or twenty, who had just set on fire a
dwelling 'The ladiea and the children whoso
homo it was were wringing their hands with
distress at tho»sight of their burning home,
a n d invoking punishment on the vandals,
when Mosby’s men came. They rushed upon
the incendiaries and took no prisoners—all were
killed or hung alter they were captured.

Six hundred rebed officers, prisoners of war,
are to bo sent to Charleston harbor in a few

first pliiced under fire at Charleston, sent six
hundred move there for the same purpose.
These six bandied Confederate prisoners will

applied to Union prisoners at that place.
Again reported that a general exchange of
prisoners is imminent. Gad knows there
ought to be some speedy relief to the sufferers

YANKEE DEPREDATIONS AT OXFORD.
[Special to Mobile Advertiser]
Near Oxford, Aug. 22.
The enemy occupied Oxford .this morning

tillery, and committed every manner of depre.
dationonthe inhabitants. They killed all toe
poultry and stock, burned up tire court-house

Affairs at Andehsonvu.lf., Ga. —A corres
pondent of the Macon Confederate who has
been at Andcrsonvillo, Ga., speaks thus of what
he saw and learned there ;
Andersonville was an interesting and novel
spectacle to me. The Yankee prisoners with
in the stockade, about 30,000 in number, when
closely viewed, resemble more in theii motions
a hive of bees seen through a glass opening
than anything else I can think of. The area of
the stockade is being rapidly increased by Gen
eral Winder, Who i; evidently desirous of doing
all in his power to make them comfortable.—
They have thousands of little huts and tents
variously constructed, which seem to protect
them from the scorching rays of (ho sun and
the inclemency of the weather generally. Gen.
W. informed me that very iho lumber
would be procurable to pad up temporary Khan
ties for their comfort. Alias but small stream
of water runs through the stockade, supplying
them with water for bathing and other purposes.
I saw hundreds 0? them bathing in this stream at
once. Others not engaged in bathing* were
walking about among their fellows, each, in'
the language oi the famous ballad of Y'oung
Tamerlane, “A .mother naked man.” 1 learn
that many of them have bartered a,way nearly
all their clolhing for tobacco, On the whole
their condition, bud b. it is, and bad ns it de
serves to be, seemed better than could nave
been expected. In spite, however, of every
elibrt to treat them with humanity, their mor
tality is great, averaging about one hundred
per day. About two thousand are in hospitals.
Over 3fi,o()Q have been received since the es
tablishment of Andersonville as a military pri«
on.
The prisoners are said to be very docile, but
greatly exasperated at Lincoln for not ex
changing them. They were greatly elated at
finding a paragraph in one of our newspapers
stating that a general exchange of prisoners
would soon bo resumed.
The defenses of Andersonville are admirably
planned bv the skillful veteran, Geu. Windei.
Formidable batteries of artillery bear directly
on the prisoners in the eventot an cm. uto ; and
strong works with artillery defend the place
against hostilities from without- A ski on:;

find themselves wofully deceived if they were
