With Dispatch. -A correspondent of the Ma
con Intelligencer says it takes generally three
days for a Setter to go from Macon to Miiledge
ville; and that come times it takes a letter six
days to go from Macon to Augu ta. This is a
fair specimen of Mr. Reagan’s able manage
ment of the Post Oliice Department all over
the country. A reform- is needed in these
matters at once.
Lebanon, Tens. —lt will be seen by reference
to our teh graphic d.spatchcs, that the latest
news we have of Wheeler's whereabouts is at
Lebanon, Tenn. This town is the county seat
of Wilson county, thirty-two miles oast of
K&snville. It is situated on a branch 01 the
Cumberland river, auu is a place of considera
ble importance.
Heavy Explosion. —Numerous citizens of
Covin,ton and Socyil Circle report hearing dis
tinctly heard the explosion of the ordinance
train at Atlanta, on Friday morning last,
and as far down as the Circle the concus
irion v ,<a so violent as to shake tho houses.—
The light of tho burning buildings, etc., was
also seen at the latter place.
TiieFieeat Ameiucus Ga.—A negro boy,
about fourteen years old has confessed that
he probably caused the fire in that place on
the auth of August. He admits be was near
the place when the lire was first discovered a
few minutes previous to its breaking out, and
after lighting his pipe threw down the match.
All attempts to discover an accessory or in
stigator from him, have entirely failed. So
that the circumstances resolve them dves into
a careless utanaliciousand deplorable accident,
to which the crime of intentional incendiarism
cannot he aecrib -d; at least much more will
have to be substantiated before such a veidi t
could be pronounced.
Oahuai.tiks in Cobb’s Lf-oion.—The follow
ing casualties occurred in Cobb’s Legion
Georgia Cavalry in the recent light at Ream’s
Station, Va.: Killed, Norman J. Smith, Cos.

Cos. I,’ severely; Josi ah Miller, Cos .{I, slightly;
Sergt. Davis, Cos. G, log amputated; Sharp,
Cos. F, leg amputated.
Decatur Cos. G a. — A correspondent of the Ma
con Telegraph writing from Decatur Cos. Ga,
[states that the deserters which infested'that
section some time since—committing depreda
tions upon private property, have all been
cleaned out. 'The crops in Decatur Cos. arc very
fine. Cora is selling at five dollars per bushel.
Gen. Winder Removed.—The Richmond En
quirer slates that Gen. J. 11. Winder has been
removed from the command of the post at An
dcrsouville, Ga.
Mail. Faculties. —We notice that the
Charleston and Savannah papers bring to ns
daily the same news that the Richmond j .tpers
bring in the same mail. By the mail that
bring.; 11 ; the Mobile papers, we get their nows
in the Montgomery and Columbus papers.—
This has become so inconvenient and dist ress
ing a fault, (hat we are forced to complain.—
Macon Intelligencer.
This is one matter the Postmaster General
should look into and remedy. The public are
getting uneasy over our one horse mail facili
ties. There is good reason for them finding
fault. They have permitted wrongs to pass
by unheeded too long. The Postmaster Gene
ral should do something to get his rickety
concern regulated once more. It is high time
avo had commenced taking rapid strides to
wards u reform.
Patriotic. —When the local troops were or
dered away from here on Saturday, several of
them who are dependent upon their daily
labors for their support, wore much troubled
on account of not leaving their families pro
vided for, and not having the wherewithal to
give them to obtain supplies during their ab
sence. A large number of one ol the companies
are operatives in tho Augusta Factory. The
noble hearted President of that company, W.
E. Jackson, Esq., uponjlearning the condition
of affairs at once iinforeed those who worked
jin that establishment that their families should
have all they wanted during their absence.
This is true patriotism. It gives us pleasure
to record facts of this kind. It proves that
there are some men stiil left who are not
wholly wrapped up in moneymaking schemes,
and whose course is still guided and controlled
by a lev" of country.

Tobacco Rations.— When Mr. of
Texas, introduced into the Confederate Cou
gress the bill, which became a law, pi., riding
for the issuing of tobacco rations to the sold
iers, he did what his intimate knowledge of the
wants of our troops taught him would be most
grateful to them. If the law were carried out
in the spirit in which it was passed, it would
conduce in :m incalculable degree to the 'com
fort and cheerfulness of our soldiers; but, as it
is executed it is worse than a nullity; it is a
source ot great expense to the country and a
downright insult to the troops. It affords to.
corrupt speculators and dishonest officials an
i ppoftimuy ot toistiug upon Government large
quantities of ratta tobacco. We have called
attention to this subject more than once before:

I,EV KOHKKi»'i> ATTACK ON MEMPHIS.
! A correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser
,-es the annexed account of Gen. Forrest’s at
, tai k cn Memphis:
Forres’ s demonst.ation or rather attack on
I y-.rr.- accoic; 11.1. ed the very purpose for
! which it was intended. The enemy va* an-,
j uconced as marching trora Lagrange to Holly
Springs, Abbeville and Oxford. They came in
overwhelming' numbers —not less than twenty
thousand. With the small number of troops
Gen. Forrest had at his command, he knew he
could make no formidable residence or do but
little in checking their onward movement. It
was evident that the enemy intended to reach
Mobile and to plunder and devastate the ric-h
--e.-t portions of the State as they passed through.
It was evident that something must be done,
or the State would he desolated. Gen. Forrest
conceived the idea of attacking Memphis, as
the only means by which the State could be
save’l, fiom tho destroying tread of the invader.
Consequently he left Okalona with the deter
mination oi moving at once upon Memphis, hut
while on the march in the direction of Holly
Springs and Lagrange, he learned the enemy
ware in Oxford. He immediately turned his
command in that direction, but reached Ox
ford just as the enemy evacuated the town.
Gen. Forrest remained at Oxford Eeveral
day- skirmishing with the enemy, waiting for
an appropriate time to give them the dodge.
The rain poured in torrents, and the roads
w.-re in wretched condition. On the evening
of tne lfcth of August, ha started for Memphis.
The rain still poured in a drowning flood, the
roads were exceedingly heavy, but he rapidly
pushed on until he reached dear Creek, which
was found swollen and out of it banks—swim
ming, unfordahle. A halt and a camp were
expected, but the General was not to be di
verted from his purpose by such small imped
ment-. After a short pause, he turned sudden
ly to the left, for the purpose of heading the
,-tream that was swimming before him. Wan
dering along the by-paths and orer the hills,
he succeeded in flanking Clear Creek and in
pushing on. He leached Panola about 8
o’clock aviog traveled during.the night about
forty miles, over the worst of roads. 4 P on '
toon had been previously thrown over the rfal
labatchie at Panola, and the column after a
rest, hurried on.
No obstacle was encountered until we reach
ed Senatobia. Here the stream llickahalawas
found swimming- There were no facilities for
bridging it, but the fruitful brain of Gen. For
rest soon designed a plan for crossing, and in
two hours after reaching this creek, his com
mand was found ascending the opposite bank
over a splendid bridge. Onward the raiders
rushed until they reached the Cold Water.
IJds .stream was full to overflowing, and the
prospect ol crossing was indeed gloomy, hut
Gen. Forrest went to work with his own strong
arms and unconquerable will, and in a couple
of hours another bridge was built and the com
mand safely landed on the opposite hank.
Hernando was reached about dark, which
brought us to within twenty-two miles of Mem "
phis. After marching about twelve miles, the
command was halted for the purpose of resting
and disposing of the troops, to make the as
sult. 'The exact position of the enemy’s en
campments was ascertained and the troops
pushed on. Silence and caution were enjoined
upon every soldier. NoneonnaU Creek, six
miles from town, was crossed over, and tiie ex
eitement became intense. Slowly and steal
thily the advancing column moved on.
Presently Capt. Forrest hove in sight of the
enemy’s pickets. They ordered a halt and ask
ed, who comes there ? Capt. Forrest replied
the 2nd lowa and 12(h Missouri. Advance
one at a lime, was the reply. Capt. Forrest
rushed upon them dispersing the squad. The
crack of his pistol was the signal for the charge.
Gen. Forrest turned to Gas®, his bugler, and
ordered him to sound the charge The loud,
deep roaring of the horses’ feet, the shouts of
the riders, and the continual blasts from tho
bugles, now filled the air with a most unearth
ly and terrific sound. ’ On tile infuriated Con
federates rushed, until they reached the Yan
kee camps. Here the scene beggars descrip
tion. Men were aroused from iheir slumbers
only to be killed. Friend and foe wero mixed
up m wild confusion. Some of the Yankees
were naked, some in their night clothes. The
Confederates still kept up their yelling, the bu
gle still sounded the charge, and the blazing
lire and musketry, and the screams of the af
frighted or dying Yankees added still greater
terror to (lie awful scene. The panic-stricked
enemy rushed in wild dismay to the fields, tho
woods, and the neighboring houses.
Meantime Gen. Forrest was bard at work.
After passing tbe State College, he discovered,
dark as it was, that the enemy so recently dis
persed in their tents were organizing, concen
trating and forming near tho college into which
many had fled for protection, lie immediate
ly halted his command. Day-was now dawn
ing. and for six horns the fight raged with una
bated fury. Gen. Forrest had not more than
seven hundred present, hut he repulsed every
charge and drove the enemy from his position.
He was everywhere found in the thickest of
the fight, leading forward his troops. At the
head of his escort he charged the enemy’s cav
alry consisting of several hundred and routed
them. Tbe enemy seemed anxious to regain
the ground occupied hy their tents, and which
we held, but every effort was repulsed with
great slaughter.
The enemy had taken refuge in the State
College as a fort, and (tom this position they
were doing us seme damage, hut Major J. P.
Strange, opened one piece of artillery upon
this building and the Yankees left. If. was evi
dent the enemy had some seven or eight thous
and troops confronting us. Wishing to bring
out the prisoners captured and seeing (ho utter
folly of continuing a fight where thfe discrepan
cy in numbers was so great, Gen. Forrest de
termined to retire. This he did about elev
en o’clock, bringing off two hundred and thir
ty-eight prisoners, about one hundred horses,
and killing and wounding about two hundred
more. Our loss iti killed and wounded will not
exceed thirty.
Astir reaching Nooconlah Gen. Forrest sent
a flag of truce into Memphis proposing to ex
change the Vi’isoners he h-idjiaken, but GetiejM
Washbuvue refused, declaring it wasimposime
tor General Forrest to get out, and he intended
to retake his prisoners, capture Lira and his
whole army. General Forrest scorned his
threat; told the Yankee officer he intended to
return the same way he came, by Hernando and
Panola 1 his honest avowal was regarded by
the stupid Washburne as a ruse. He felt cev
tain since General Forrest had declared his
determination to return by Panola, that he in
tended to attack the Memphis & Charleston
Railroad, and go out by Bolivar, Tenn., and
consequently he sent all his troops in that di
rection. General Forrest crossed the Talla
hatchie unmolested.
After reaching Panola on the 23d, General
Forrest began to look to see it his raid would
have tbe intended effect of drawing hack the
large force at Abbeville, threatening to devas
tate the State, and sure enough that night about
twelve o'clock be received by telegraph the
gratitying intelligence that enemy were falling
lute a from Oxford to LaGiange. Thus did he
accomplish his object, in addition to killing,
wounding and eapttuing five hundred of the
enemy a.iu many valuable horse's During the
war General Forrest has won many brilliant
victories, but this last is one of the brightest
in the chaplet. It has been fruitful of more
good than any one event o! tbe war. It seems
to be the peculiar province of Gcu. Forrest to
save la ,iu hoar of peril the State cf Mississippi.
By vbippimi; Smith and Grierson last February,
he drove Sherman from Meridian, and by this
, cccnt ntLick upon Memphis he has forced
Smith, with twenty thousand men, back from
Oxford to Lagrange. The services of such a
man will give fadeless immortality to his name.
General Johnston. —lt any one doubts the
popularity oi Gen. Johnston with the soldiers
of the Army of 'ieunessee let him go to the
Depot on the arrival of tire trains of wounded
from the front. and talk awhile with the bleed
ing veterans he will find there. “'lf we only
had Oi l Joe wo would know it was al'|njbt
‘ lived is as brave a man as ever lived, but
■there’s nobody like Johnston.-' ‘’Why did
they take Old Joe from ns !” “Give us John
ston and we'll whip the Yankees out of their
bqots." These an 1 similar remarks can he
hoard on alTshies ’and evince the great popu
larity of Gen. Johnston, and the unbounded
enthusiasm ho creates among the troops. We
trust tins officer will not be left much longer
without a command, but will be placed where
It's ge.at military ability, will be of service to
the country and the cause.

j Outrages of Wheeler's Men —Hon. Iverson
| L. Harris 1 as written a letter to the Macon
| Telegraph la which ho narrates the manner in
which Wheeler’s men sete-, upd the o’"’rages
committed on private property in Baldwin
' county, when they passed through that section
on their way to Macon a few weeks since.- We
presume if the truth was told the residents of
other counties could tell as sad a tale of inju
riea inflicted on them. It is time that officers
should control their men, if they would pre
serve their organizations from utter demoral
ization. If those in command cannot do so,
they are unworthy of the positions they occupy,
and others should be at once put in their placets-
Here is what Harris says on the sub
ject :
I have been desired to present to the pub
lic, a statement of the “raid’’ made on my
property by portion of Gen. Wheeler’s cavalry,
on tte 2Glhan.l 27th inst. I comply, with the
hope, that it may awaken the vigilance of 4he
people, to their own protection against sup
posed friends as well as ascertained enemies.
On Thursday afternoon last, the- 26th inst.,
whilst sitting .n my piazza at my farm three
miles and an half from this place, on the di
rect road to Ma#on, a couple of horsemen rode
up to my door and desired to purchase some
old corn fora military force in charge of 800
cattle, captured from the Yankees at Acworth.
I stated that I had not old com enough to bread
my negroes fi r more than two weeks, and
could not therefore sell any. Finding that the
cattle were near by—prompted by curiosity to
see them, I vent to the public road in the rear
of my house about two hundred yards. I re
mained conversing with an officer and the men
for the space of an hour, until the various
gangs of cattle had passed on, when I return
ed to my house, which had been left open by
nfe, I found it closed. Avery faithful old ne
gro woman bad closed it, in consequence, as
she said, of her seeing a soldier going through
my rooms. Not suspecting anything. I did
not discover that my Watch, called a Hunter's
Watch, wi;h a fiat gold case, until the next
morning, was missing. It had been taken from
the nail over the mantle piece of my bed room,
on which it hung always when I had oocasion
to walk over my farm.
Just at dark as I had finished my supper, my
negroes came in from a corn field lying on the
road, where they had been pulling fodder, and
said to me, that the soldiers were in the field
tearing down the corn. I went immediately to
Ihe place, and found a detachment of men busi
ly engaged in gathering corn. I spoke to
them with great harshness and characterized
their conduct as worse than Stoneman’s, and
demanded to know by what authority they en
tered my field, and were plundering my prop
erty. 't hey replied by tiie authority of L cut.
Wells of Alabama, who was in command of
the. rear, and whose pickets were stationed on
my land for.the night, somo two miles in the
rear *I the cattle. I sought out this officer and
enquired if it was true that his men were tear
ing down my corn by his authority? He re
plied, that it was. I demanded to know by
what authority such a trespass on the rights
of property was made. He said by the au
thority of his superior officers. He said that
in their loDg route of fifteen days, I was the
only person who had made any complaint.—
Fired by wliat seemed to be an intended re
proach, 1 said I deeply regretted (hat il was so;
for, if true, it evinced a cowardly submission
on tho part of the people who acquiesced in
such lawlessness of our Confederate soldiery,
as demonstrated,clearly, that they were not fit
to ei-joy the freedom for which the South is
fighting. I made an appeal to his intelligence
and sense of right, and he admitted that such
procedure was wrong, but ho excused himself
by alledging, that hss«).s only obeying orders
and the uniform of the command. He
gave me the name of •bl. Gaines of Alabama,
as commanding the brigade.
It so happened that the Col. had gone on
with the front of the command. I could not
apply personally to him for redress. I howev
er wrote him by Friday’s mail to Macon, Geo.
Whilst probably engaged in writing to him
though it may have been at a different hour on
that day, one of the soldiers of his command
Went into my pasture, and stole from it, the
very best mule 1 owned, branded on the fore
shoulder with a very large H. Oa Saturday I
addressed the Col. again, giviug him a descrip
tion of the mare mule thus stolen. It may be
that Coi. Gaines has not received my letters.
Ample time has elapsed for me to have had a
reply. .1 know nothing of Col Gaines person
ally. He is spoken of as a gentleman. I am
persuaded if be is tiie officer ho is represented
to be, he will dilligently ferret out the thieves
who stole my watch and mute. The descrip
tions given by me of my property are full
enough, for auy one who wishes to see that
right is done. If my letters should not he
heeded, 1 wil addioss Maj. Gen. Wheeler. It is
due to the last named gallant officer tosSlJtliat
in his General Orders of the 3rd of May. 1804,
wliich I have seen for tho first time since I
w rote to Col. Gaines, such conduct as was au
thorized by the immediate order of Lieutenant
Wells, is strictly prohibited. My com was ta
ken from my field without auy application
having been made to me for it, without any ne
cessity assigned, without any compensation paid
or offered. Gnu auy one wonder how Commis
saries grow rich upon small salaries, when offi
cers wearing swords, “command’’ the pillage
of Confederate citizens, and make out bills
against the government for forage, neither sup
plied nor paid for by them. Some four or five
cases of plunder &c, I have heard of within
tjie limits of this county. 1 shall not under
take to make any statement of tho wroßgs
sustained by otheis.
Iconclufle by asking, “if such is the usual
course” of the mounted soldiery of the Confed
eracy, permitted to straggle from the road in
twos, threes," tearing down fences, stealing
mules and other property, and no authority
exercised over them by iheir proper officers,
can those in the rear of Gen. Hood’s Army
suffer more from the raids of a malignant foe
than from the presence in our midst of those,
wh> instead of being our protectors are the
worst ot piunderers ? Do subordinate officers—
tnose below the General-in Chief, respect any
law, human or divine ? All ideas of private
property seem to be subverted among military
men of some armies and their subordinates
and under strappers, as their conduct virtually
asserts that the farmer is not the owner of the
small corn field he has planted and tilled for
the'use of bis bread, but, that it belongs to the
soldiery with w hich they are connected, who
have a-right to take it at their discretion with
out recompense or resistance.
It is palpable, I think, that if these officers
had a true sense of honor and duty, and
would act up to their requirements, -and
enforce discipline, without which, soldiers
may—will degenerate into bandits, no such
occasions as I have narrated, could occur so
put a stain on the reputation of a Confederate
soldier.

A few days ago, the Yankee biockaders shel

has been for sometime within reach of the guns
of the blockading fleet, yet, as hitherto tiie
Yankees did not seem dispo.cd to molest them,
the families resident there hid not thought it
necessary to remove to town. On a sudden,
however, one of the biockaders, without any
warning whatever, opened a heavy fire upon
the place’ doing no farther damage, however,
so far as we have heard, than frightening in a

young mother with two small children. It be
came necessary for them to flee lor their safety
which they did not find until after an exhaust

from their*home. A shell exploded over the
head 'of one of the ladies while she was run

FIIOM THE FROST.
The Yankees on Wednesday evening secured j
a portion on the Macon and W estern Railroad
a few miles North of East Point and followed j
the Railroad with a heavy tores, crossing with- ,
in two miles in front ot Jonesboro where we
had a small force placed in hastily constructed :
rifle pits. The enemy charged these heavily
and often, on Wednesday, but did hot succeed
in dislodging oufftroops. Our loss very heavy,
and the Yankees having assailed our lines,
without succeeding in taking any of the earth
works. must have suffered a tremendous loss
in proportion.
From a gentleman who left Jouesboro on
Thursday night we have been able to learn
something of Thursday's operations around
Jonesboro. Our lines on that day were imme
diately around Jonesboro, and breastworks wore
thrown up reaching to the railroad at each end
of the town on the west side In the afternoon
a courier reported that the enemy was advan
cing "from Morris’ Station, where they had ar
rived the evening before, and were crossing the
road to the east of the town. Our lines were
then advanced up the railroad and temporary
fail works were constructed a half mile east of
the road towards McDonough.
About 3 o’clock the enemy came up and
commenced shelling furiously our main lines
around the town, and at the same time made
furious assaults in almost an endless number of
lines of battle on the rail works. Our men
fought them gallantly and held them back un
til their ammunition was exhausted. The
enemy then succeeded in breaking through our
lines and cut off a portion of one brigade, the
most of which was captured. The combat
lasted from 3 o'clock until night. Our army
fell back from the works, but at 9 o’clock at
night had re-occuppied them. Our loss in kill
ed and wounded was very heavy. The enemy's
loss is represented as being terrific. The ground
\vas literally strewn with their dead and wound
ed. Our men fought like tigers, and retired
when the last round of ammunition was ex
hausted. ‘
It is now asserted that numoreous scouts on

Hardee’s command, consisting of Hardee’s
corps, have sustained the brunt of battle since
Wednesday morning. They have confronted
‘ke entire Yankee army, fought them inch by
intih and repulsed ail assaults, and only re
treated before the immense massed flank move
ments of the enemy, who persistently thrust
fresh columns on our position. The loss of the
enemy, however, has been very large, so much
so as to check materially their operations.
. The reports of our losses in the recent engage
ments are gross exaggerations. Our total loss
in killed, wounded r.ud prisoners, will not ex
ceed four thousand men, while that of the ene
my is said to he not*l< ss than five to one. An
officer who was in all the engagement®, reports
that the Federals were ten lines of battle deep,
in some places, and every time they charged
our lines it was only to be slaughtered like
sheep! Hardee’s corps is said to have fought
with the most unflinching determination, and
only retired when the enemy commenoed til
ing on its flanks. In the retreat we were cam
pulled to abandon seyeral pieces of artillery,
not having any horses to haul them.

The celebrated African explorer, Dr. Living

Murchison writes that so “far from being down
cast at the failure of the efforts hitherto made
to cheek the slave trade on the East Coast of
Africa, my dauntless and energetic friend
writes that he ‘cannot fine it in his heart to
abandon his object. lie is, therefore, bent up
on returning to Africa, after a stay of about
four months at home, during which time ho
will consult friends on the subject of those
inture labors in which he purposes to employ
his steamer, now left at Bombay. Os this ves
sel, built at his owu expense for river and lake
navigation chiefly, Dr. Livingstone writes —
‘The Lady Nyassa is a first-rate little sea boat,
and she rose like a duck on jibe huge waves
of the ocean.’ The projected new' expedition
of Dr. Livingstone is not, he says, so much
exploration as to set in tram operations by
merchants and others by which the slave trade
shall be eventually worked out.’ At the meet
ing of the British Association, to be held at
Bath on the I4th of September, he probably
willqjive an account of his last bold adven

Difficult Surgical Operation.— On Satur
day last a very extraordinary and difficult sur
gical operation was performed in Macon, by
Dr. A. J. Simmons, of Monroe county, and Dr.
J. Dickson Smith, of Macon, in the presence of
Dt Joel R. Branham. It was the extirpation
of a cancerous sebirrus fumor, highly vascular,
depending from the scrotum of a negro boy,
the property of G’apt. J G. Gilmer —the tumor
extending down nearly to the knees aEd weigh
ing eight pounds.
Jhe patient,,after being duly advised of the
dangerous character of the operation, and still
expressing h’s earnest desire for if, was put
under the influence of chloroform, and the
whole of the immense tumor carefully and
astely extirpated, without the slightest mutila
tion of tlie parts, and is now doing well. Sur
geons speak of the operation as a v ery hand
some achievement of professional skill,
FROM THS C3AST
j Letters from tho coast, lately-received repre- I
t sent the condition of affairs in that section as j
deplorable, if not dangerous, in the extreme,
the enemy, emboldened by their successes,
! have advanced recently into the interior and.
S rtndingjm resistance, now venture in their
open bw to the plantations on the inlets and
rivers, destroying crops, burning houses and
stealing negroes. The ravages already done
have been very great, but recent reports rep
reseut the enemy as extendiift; their operations
up the Altamaha and Satiila rivers. Unless
something be done at once by the military au
thorities or by the State, the enemy will un
doubtedly soon jbe encouraged to obtain as
foothold on the main land, from which they
cannot be dislodged without a large force, and
from which they can 6eud cavalry to ravage
the country further in the interior. Hitherto
these ravages have been prevented by cavalry
regiments stationed on the coast; hut these
having lately been withdrawn, the few men
left can do nothing toward preventing the
landing of even insignificant forces#
