BROWN, Governor. jiaiaoi avl'UL'NIH 1'KOM THE ENEMV, The Savannah Republican of Tuesday has the following: There was a battle fought Sunday afternoon between Griswoldvillc and Macon, luit wiih what result has not been ascertained. The firing was distinctly heard at Gordon?both cannon and small arms?and there is reason to believe t-flfe raiders were driven back by onr militia, who are supposed to have been the parties to the contest, Yesterday afternoon the cnemv took posscs,.r i . . - oivij vi uuiuuii, jusl alter a train of troops had left there. They wore doubtless the same party of cavalry that appeared at Griswoldvillo the day before. From circumstances we infer that Milledgcville has been abandoned by our troops and * ev also by the citizens. Probably by this time the public buildings are all in ashes, though nolh- i ing Certain ss knojytt. I The enemy are also advancing on tin; line j of the Georgia Paihoad. At. last accounts, j ! they were at liurkltead, seven miles this side ! of Madison. They were burning and destroying as they progressed.
