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. I’KOM WlIKELEft’s MoVIiMKXTS BY WAY OF THE Noktii.— Telegraph dispatches from Chatta nooga state that tedegraphic communication 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 niciits were being sent toSelbold from Chatta nooga. Four trains, intended for Sherman’s array, were compelled to halt at or near Dal ton. Wheeler’s troops were busily engaged in teaiing up tbe track on both sides of the town 11 is supposed object is to destroy the tunnel at 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. DfKTiuJonoN' or. o yih —t’Ue Yankee raider near Bear Croek on the Macon ami Atlanta Hail road destroyed eleven platform cars and four box ears. It is reported tbit tuey also blew up a I, comotive. From Alabama.— A party of lories and Yan kees from North Alabama, have been travel ling through sections of that Btate. burning, pillaging, and killing the inhabitants. The last seen of them they ivere near Elytou. Nkhro Su.b — Messrs. Milliter, Keen A Cos , sold Tuesday a likely negro man, about forty years of ago, for four thousand seven hundred dollars. Fault Ekintorcsd.—A letter from Virginia states that I.ongstreet’s corps has gone to re inforce Gen. Early. Pabticujyks or t.ik Cattle Caitlre.—Qq Sunday morning lffh inst, a portion of Gen. Uaunon’s brigade of cavalry, composed of tbe 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- ’ enscounty, named Paine, who was raising a company of lories toi the Yankee service.— Our loss wa< one wounded and tour captured. Among the captured is Capt. W. 11 Davis, ot the '3l Ala. Subsequently tbe Yankees captured about 700 cattle, leaving in our hands 1 0-t j. The command wade a forced march through the mountain*, for this place, nicking about the best time on record.living 03 short rations part or the time ou roasting ears alone They reached here last Saturday in a jaded condition. The cattle are very large, and in good order. At--the present prices ut beef and they are worth over a half million of dollars. We could learn nothing of the operations of other portions of the cavalry from the men, as there are three or lour bodies operating at Uir ferent points, independent oi each other. — Athens Rduner.

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 ly in Petersburg. There is considerable business being done in Norfolk, and most of the stores ure kept by Yankees and negroes who from every window display the stars and stripes. The harbor is well supplied with shipping, and once in a while a gunboat comes in for re pairs at the Navy Yard, where a considerable force is employed, though the dry dock has never been repaired. Religions services are now held in most of the churches, our people and preachers liavii g been in self-defence, to lake the oalh which they despise, no one being allowed to engage in any trade or occupation who is not a loyal citizen of the best Government the world ever saw-but the people are still tine as steel to (lie cause of the South. The present Military Governor is Brigadier General Georgia F. Sliepley. » r i he Provost Marshal is Lieutenant Clias. 13. Wlieldon. The negroes consider them selves as free, and a great many have left their Mas ters. while others remain at Iheir ohl homes and work for wages. The place is full of ne groes, who under the benign protection of the Government, have left their homos in the sur rounding counties: and are allowed to starve. Most ot them are in a destitute condition, and go around the camps hunting for scraps of bread and meat which the soldiers have thrown away. Rut their white brethren are not unmind ful ol their mental and spirtual wants. They have established negro schools in every ward and over which their ,fair-skinned sistets of i lie Nn th preside. Among the names of the Missionaries who have thus come to teach tho blacks, may he mentioned that of a Miss 111-own, a daughter ol old John Brown, who it will be remembered, dopaito 1 this Hie so sud denly a few years since, at Charlestown, Va.- 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 Burning of Ciiamsbkfsbieg, Pa.—As it seems not to bo generally known that the burn ipg of Gfcamsbcrstiirg was done bv authority, as an act of retaliation, it proper to publish the following copy of the order under Which lirigadier-General McCausland laid the town in ashes : “llkap<)’rs Apvaxcb Forces, 0.

The Baltic Gazette gives the following stat iatics relating to the late insurrection in Po land, chietiy derived from official sources. During the sixteen months of the struggle 30,- 000 insurgents were killed or severely wound ed ; ot>! were condemned to death by military tribunals, and 85,00f* persons less compromised were transpoited to Siberia. The war hontri buttons levied were : (i,000.000 of roubles in the Kingdom of Poland, 3.000.000 in Lithuania, 2,000,000 in \ olhynia, Podolia and Kiew.

We be lieve the Cunard Conpany have offered Mr. Bryson every facility lor testing his invention on a large scale. 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 ern sympathisers loudly rejoiced. 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 been confirmed via Copenhagen. Denmark completely cedes the Duchies to Austria and Prussia, together with Jutland and Euclares, the town of Ribe excepted. The occupation of Jutland continues till the final conclusion of peace. The President of the Danish Council communicated the matter' to the Itigsrad at a private silting, and on the following day a 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. Furloughs have been granted to all the Danish recruits undergoing a preliminary drill and troops arc returning to Copenhagen from Funccr. The German papers assert that the Duchies are surrendered in their entirety, with out. reservation, and Austria end Prussia bavo full liberty to dispose of them. The Austrian Government lias addressed a circular note to its representatives abroad, giving an analysis of the preliminary peace arrangements and stating all tho questions reserved for future disposal. pTtO.lt MEXjCO. The progress of (he French army iu subjuga ting Mexico has recently been in interrupted by severe reverses. A large force of Mexicans have cut oft' all supplies from Acapulco, which IS .occupied by French troops, and the siege of that cily (las been raise.l. if \yaa believed the French would be obliged to surrender in con sequence of the want of food. The Mexicans harrass tbo troops iu the oiiy day aud night by incessant firing from bas (cries. 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. FROM THE FHOStT. - The condition and prospects of the Arm? ot Tennesse* are more hopeful at the presi nf hour titan they have been since that sore trial of the evacuation of Kenesaw Mountain occur ed. During the part few days, the operations.of both armies Cave been comparatively quiet amounting only to the usual manoeuvring fir position, and digging their protective works. That our cavalry in Sherman's rear will be thoroughly* succ-ssiui. does not! admit of a 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 tion of the line will force him to retreat, and i places him in great peril. -V negro in the Express Office on Wedoesdsy had a shell, and was rolling it over Ibe floor 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 tions in their rear. Not one-twentieth as many shells have.been thrown, for two days, as usual. The enemy seem to be operating on the city with only one gun, and from this a sho't is fired every .fifteen minutes. The opinion,, is that Shunnan is at last fiaundered and undecided-. The New Oilcans papers announce the death of Peter K. Wagner, Esq., the oldest printer and editor of that city;,. FHOM VimjlM V. The news in another column from Yankee Strarces. is all that we have from the Valley.— Tho capture of Sheridan’s supply tiain, iseiven as the cause of piifc falling back towards Har per's Ferry; hut it may be that the large num ber of one hundred day’s men in his command, who have no stomach for lighting, had s» me weight in turning him down the Valley again 'the Expn.~s sates an incident showing the gallantry ot Gen. Hagood. A Yankee Colonel bad seized u stand of colors belonging to his brigade, when Gen. H. dashed forwnr 1. and af ter a hand to hand contest, killed the Yankee Colonel and recovered the colors. 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 R. 11. Ewbert and Boston Lyons, all Maryland ers, anil well known in Richmond, have been captured, tried by court martial,and condemn ed to be hung at Fort McHenry, Aug. 29th 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. Over t wenty-threo thousand dollars have been raised in Virginia to educate soldiers children. The Yankees are placing in position an hund red pounder Parrot gun in the neighborhood of Dutch Gap. Grant has refused a passage down flic James lUver to the representative of the Consul of Franc i stt Richmond, with despatches for the French Minister at Washington, it appears that on Sunday the Vice Consul proceeded to Varna, [and in accordance with a privilege heretofore freely accorded, secured his passage 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 jor Mulford, and instructed him to refuse a passage in the boat to that official or any one else. The consequence was that the Vice-Con sul had to return to Richmond with his dis patches. FROM THE VALLEY. We have authentic intelligence from the Lower Valley up to Tuesday morning. Sheri dan has retreated out of Virginia, save at Har per’s Ferry, They still hold Harper’s Ferry, ar*t extend* tiffin- pickets to lliltown, four miles towards Charlestown. Gen. Early’s headquar ters we eat Charlestown. Our troops occupied 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. IUCUMO.M) (JOSSiP. Stirring liuus again -fighting qll around the board, and the Yankees, e.s usual,.flabbergast ed, including the late affair ou the Weldon Road. Grant has lost from ten to fifteen thou sand men,.certainly ten thousand. The Richmond press is something in a hurry to block the armistice game which the New York Herald is pressing. Prudent people arc waiting for the official journal to let fly on this matter. Private advices represet Early marching for ward to the Potomac. Bherbian evidently diet not make a fight, but, retreating to prevent himself from being flanked,left two divisions at Winchester as a corps of ob-truclion. These stampeded the mouuut Early appeared in force, One of our papers thinks Sheridan is demora lized, and cries co Early “Ho! for Pennsylva nia’’ But the “loyal Potomac,” swollen wUIt rains says nay, The New York Herald of the 18lh inst., says: Six hundred rebed officers, prisoners of war, are to bo sent to Charleston harbor in a few days. It will bo remembered that the rebel authorities, after exchanging the fifty officers first pliiced under fire at Charleston, sent six hundred move there for the same purpose. These six bandied Confederate prisoners will po doubt, receive the same treatment as may be 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 on both sides. Suppose the myriads at An dergouyiile, most of whose terms of enlistment have expired, not only refuse to return to the army but vote for McClellan.busincs?- This ia w hat puzzles old Ahe and makes him obdurate. Mr. Trenholra’s letter to Gov. Bonham is read here with pleasure. It will do great good and lie will find our purple most willing to res pond to him.

The Confederate authorities have offered to -j exchange officer!©! officer, man for mia, with i the Federal authorities. Heretofore the point of contention has been j the delivery of the excess of prisoners, our government insisting upon the terms of the cartel, which required the delivery of all urii oners on both tides, the excess to be on parole. The Government now proposes that the ex cess, if any, remain in the hands of the enemy until those captuied are made up. The offer, though made early in the month, has net yet been accepted. The correspondence on the Eubjectwill short ly appear, • NORTHERN NEWS, The HerUld has a letter from Niagara Fails which says that Judge Black, Attorney Geue ralftaidOT Bttckau&h, and Hay, Eincokt's pri l J, - "* ‘ •' ,4 >. vats Secretary, have had another interview with Messrs.

[Special to Mobile Advertiser] Near Oxford, Aug. 22. The enemy occupied Oxford .this morning with a heavy force of infantry, cavalry and ar tillery, and committed every manner of depre. dationonthe inhabitants. They killed all toe poultry and stock, burned up tire court-house aud the entire sqaure, the. depot, the residence of Col. Jacob Thompson, and many other pri vate residences. They retreated northward this-evening, their rear leaviDg Oxford about sundown. 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:; 1 force of infantry is there al.-o.
