Untrue.?There is one charge against Gen. Early?referred to by a correspondent of the Charlottesville Chronicle?that of intemperance ?which the editor of the Chronicle "has inquired into, and is entirely satisfied that it is untrue, and it affords him pleasure to emphatically deny it. A private letter received from Newborn, dated two weeks ago, states that it is estimated that 1,400 deaths had occurred in that place from yellow fever, embracing citizens, soldiers and negroes.

Iwcnty-lbur ves- j sels were in the river. There has as yet no definite or reliable news been received in regard to the mat- ! tor. Plymouth is situated on the Koauoko river, eight miles from its entrance into the A lbemarle Sound. i TlIU FlEt.I) OF Ot'EUATIONH OF THE AlU'tY Or' TEN*- i NKSSEE.?It is of much interest to know the localities', I distances and topography of tins region, which is to : become historical by this struggle. Thg distance from j Atlanta to Rome is GO injles: to Dalton, 100; to Chattnuoogn, 110. The distance from Bluo >Ihuntajn to Rome is 55 miles; to Kingston, 70; to Pulton, 75; to Chattanooga, 100; to Bridgeport, 85; Iluntsvillu, 05 ; Tho topography of the country is rugged and mountainous, with many streams itnd bail roads. This region contains four rivers, tho Chattahoochco, the Kp> wall, tho Oosanaula and the Tennessee. Tho lirst flows in seven miles of Atlanta, and thence to West Point, j The two latter unite at Rome nml mot-^ ?i. . f - which flows southward to Montgomery. The Coosa i3 navigable for steamboats Irom Crocr.sporl in Koine.? The Tennessee flows by Chattanooga and Bridgeport, and near llnntsville. Tijk Api'Koach ok Winter.?The sear and yellow leaf, the general appearance of vegetation, and the recent visitsof Jack Frost, all admonish us that hoaryheaded winter, with its bleak winds. ha\o or are about to visit us. .The cold and dreary days and nights are fast approaching, when tho best provided for in our. section will have to bring to bear, for comfort's sake, their overcoats and flannels. Our hope is, that tho season may be mild, that tho abject poor, and tbo wives and children of xmr brave soldiers mav not in anywise want lor the ordinary comforts in way ol lucl and clothing. We would suggest, to all those who aro Pot supnlied with fuel "t?l - >.-n>in iiL llll.s ume. to j lay in their supply, as it would appear, that the signs ol tjie times indicate a scarcity, and that the prices demanded will he exorbitant. Kverything, I'or comfort's sake, at this time, is suggestive of warm clothing and hot lires; and we should ark ourselves?are our soldiers' families provided for, and have those whose I means are ample, bestowed their mile?not as ti char- J ity, hut a right?to the families of those engaged in fight'ng the battles of our country. We trust the peopie of Kershaw . idslricl will lake cognizance of those ( things?that all those who have sons, brothers, or any kindred whatever engaged in the service of the conntry, share their last mite with the needy, and by so doing, God will abundantly reward their elVorls in hehalt ol our cause. Inteuesting fkom Mexico.?The Jlerald of the 28th says: , Confirmation of the report that the Mexican General Cortilias had forsaken the republican cause, and fjone over to the imperii lists, is furnished by the arrival here, yesterday, of the steamship Havana, from Havana on the. 22d instant. That Mustering ex-patriot is said to have surrendered himself, his troons ami Gu? 1 I * I town of Matamoras to Mejia, on the 'iotli ult., | and sworn fualty to Maximilian, Ccnurnl < 'iiu- j ales, another of the republican oflicers, lefused 1 to give in his adhesion to the empire,* hull crossed over from Matnmoras to Jirownsville, I Texas, with about three hundred men, and surrendered to Col. Ford, the rebel commander at the latter place. ? The statement is made l>y the Northern press, that, during the p?\st eight months, 1<>,000 refugees?men, women and children?have arrived at Memphis, nine hundred of whom have been sent to Cairo, being received there bv an agent who provides them with food, shelter, and transportation to any point North of the Ohio lliver they may select for their homes. Four hundred and ninety-eight of those received at Memphis were over the ??ge \ of fourteen, four hundred were under that'age. Nearly every steamer from helow has a greater or less number of this class of persons ;ir! boaid. I Appointment ok Chief Justice Taney's j Successor.'?No sooner is Chief Justice-Taney Jend titan dozens of aspirants spring up jbr his place." A dispatch fiom Washington says : "it is understood to have been determined today to postpone the appointment of the ^ncecsor of the late Chief Justice Taney until after the Presidential election. It appears that Mr. Stanton, foreseeing the necessity of his retire-^ rncnt at some tunc from the War Department, is anxious to find protection for life on the bench of the Supreme Court as Chief Justice. Judge Advocate Ceucral Jloltis bidding high j for the appointment. Among other aspirants i are Montgomery Dlair, ex-Postmaster General; Senator ('ollamer, of Vermont; Solicitor Whiting, of the War Department; Judges Allen and Howe, of Massachusetts; Senator Ira Harris, of New York, and Mr. I'Vsscndeit, Secretary of the Treasury. It is' believed, however, am?>ng those who are familiar with the working of such matters, that the place is at the disposal of Mr. Chase, and that he will he appointed, unless it snouni become unavoidable to support r, Staiiton as the only means of getting him out of the Cabinet. Akkest of Mas. Bl'tlek.?Mrs. Annie Butler, the wile of the infamous OeoTge W.Butler, who, some time since, absconded from Rich ! inond, having first robbed the Confederate States Treasury of ?75,000, was arrested Thursday morning, while attempting to recross our lines,, for the purpose of rejoining her husband, who had lied to New York. It will be recol- | leeted that, a few weeks since a notice was cop- j ictl sn the Richmond.papers, which was clipped j from the N Y. Herald, announcing Butler's ! arrival there and urging "Annie" to hurry on to him. The advertisement was signed "George and Tom." This is the first case since the re- I cent rule prohibiting ladies from going North, in which any of them have been caught trying to escape.?Peterxbun/ Express, 29/A r??- ? Fi.ao Presentation.? An interesting flag presentation took place at the War Department last evening. A courier from Gen. Lee's army cub-red^ the Secretary's office of War, bearing ten Yankee battle-flags, when the following dialogue occurcd : Courier.? Mr. Secretary, here are some more of the same sort of old battle-flags I have been bringing yo-i from time to time. WhatshalM do with them ? Secretary.?Take them to the least crowded of the four acre lots where wc keep such lumber, and see if you can manage to make room for tliein ; if not, you must carry them to Castle Thunder.?Richmond. Dispatch. Ai.i. Aiioako.?Everybody in the Confederate States seems to he shouting all at the same time, that everybody else ought to be in the army, and still, not one of the stubborn creatures heed the appeal. About one half the cute, old, "able-bodies" are stirring up the other half, and making them uncomfortable. Here's the way to "seine" the entire "school:" Lets all go in, from the President down to the humblest exempted wharf rat, men, women, and children and their negroes, throughout the ler.gth and breadth of the land. Now, conic in, if you dare. Say when,'and we'll all start at a given signal. From Fi.okida.-tWe learn by a private letter from below Pollard, that a Yankee force came up to Milton, Florida, oil Wednesday. (Jet. 2(3, and drove oll'the envairy company that was stationed there. They burned the town and destroyed the salt works, and property generally. Capt. Robinson was captured.
