The GeQigia militia, it is said, after the eapirat&tef their thirty days furlough, whioh will be iflr a few days, will be used to guard Macon and Augusta from the raids that zruty'be attempted. An opinion is gaining ground in Augusta, however, among the kftMBBg ones, that Sherman will evacuate, as he oaanofc hold Aalsnta much longer.?J Should such be the case, the Reserves may fiftut frwu this pant to guard prisoners at rano other place, and thus relievo the "sixteen" boys and old men, who we learn have been called oat for that purpose. Wu had a pretty considerable fire within thre* hundred yards of our camp a night or two smoe, the pretty frame residence of a Mr. Kauffor was burned down, but with the uaistenoe of the soldiers, who worked manfully, considerable valuable property was saved, though much was lost from the ra? at.

A visit to Augusta shows that uo scarcity of goods exist there, for the fancy stores, as well as the grocery establishments, are Wdl supplied, and as well patronised, probably, as though no war was going on. How over, the streets are crowded with soldiers, many of them on orotohes, or with empty sleeves, while the hospitals are pretty well crowded. Prices here, are most exfcr^rdinary, though money seems plenty, and it is seattend about with a determination to get rid of it for any imaginable necessity.?

"We will not probably poll more than forty votes altogether, but it is well enough to "have a place in the picture." The news from Virginia is not very cheering, yet Forrest's success serves to keep op our spirits. Though it is hard for the farmers and plough-boys to be away from home at this time, they would be better satisfied if the "orders" of Gen.

Doctors, Quartermasters, Commissaries, and their attaehees, who oooupy bomb-proof offices at home, making fortunes at tho expense of the absent soldiea, ware sent-to the field, and their places supplied- by the many wounded ones who are. limping through the country, without even the miserable pittance they ought to have received long ago. Tho saying that this is^tho "rich man's war, and the poor man's fight," would not be so often heard, . if the system of details were not confined to oertain classes, wio occupy easy positions in every town and village j the more negroes a man has, the greater necessity for him and his BonB shouldering their muskets to defend them; but a sword only can bring out some of these "noble sons of noble sires," who subside shortly after iu the necessities of a Commissary or Quartermaster's Department.

It is regularly kept up day and night, a considerable portion of them fail in Calhoun, Laurens and Columbus streets. Saving obtained a pass, on speo^l business, to the city, op Monday last, I witnessed some of the of. feets of the shells. I saw a. good many houses that had been stnjQk. Some Were considerably injured, others but slightly, the shells are thrown to various parts of the oity. On Monday morning a fire occurred on the corner of King and Wentworth streets, it was soon extinguished by the firemen. The upper part of the city is thickly populated, and there is a considerable retail business carried .on, mostly small establishments ; prices of all articles offered for sale are very high. The thoroughfares j present a good deal of activity. The pavc . r ii j-J ?:iu mems arc ireqacuuy urirwueu nitu muwuo and soldiers passing to and fro, the bursting of the shells creatos but little notice, except noar where they explode, being of daily occurrcnoo thcj caa^e little excitement. The fever is creating but little alarm, I heard but little said abouf it. Those who aro favored with a visit to the city from this j place, are required to return the same day, and are not permitted to stay in the city at night, as the malaria is cofcridered more prevalent at nig^t than during the day, the heat of the ran having a tendency to disperse it. ?

As he arrived opposite tbe several compa1 nies he was duly saluted by officers and soldiers, which in tarn was respectfully returned by him ; he proceeded on his mission of j inspection withont stopping to make remarks) which iB characteristic of the fact that the I present is a titne for immediate and prompt action qn our part, if we expect to drive the enemy from our borders. Gen. Beauregard having finished his work of observation, returned to the city in the evening, en route for further duties that greatly interest our cause at present.

The Meredian Clarion says of the war spirit in Mississippi: Mississippi, with one-haft of her rich soil trampled upon by the invaders, with, her homes made desolate, her fields destroyed, her citizens forced from their, homes ill poverty, has onee more risen in her might, and will meet the last efforts of the foe U^ enslave her, with as noble a body of troops as ever answered to thesoorid of the reveille. The call of Governor Clarke has been responded to withaspirit of enthusiasm oqexampled in the history of this war. Men over the age of fifty-five and boys under the age of sixteen have presented themselves and are now in the ranks?thousands have reported, and still with every train c<fae ' thnoA ?h/> will fftAnrd a name in history that ! Mississippi may well lie proud of. There never has b ee u, the r e "ne ver will be, a greater uprising of the people of any State or country than is this day exhibited by the gallant .pcpple cf Mwnsappl. * ? ? MWI 'l Statistics q? Qabnag^?A writer i* the Jefferson county, New l]ari? Union has made some oalpulatious reladfe to the number of men killed thus far j% this war, and gives the following results: . ^ There has heen enough already slain to enoir^e our State, if their dead bodies frere laid in one continuons line. If they were placed in coffins and corded, they wonld count. 39,000 cords. If laid in a wall' twenty-ftv^ feet thick and thirty feet high, it would be Over one and one-fourth miles in length. If five feet thick and ten feet high, the pile wonld reaoh across the State. If piled upon a tenacre lot, they wonld be nearly two hundred feet high. And if laid upon the ground they would cover every foot of soil in Jefferson county. Seventy.fivo thousand tons of human blood have been filled in JDixio's soil? enough to tarn e^m'^ndle in Lowell, and if the tears were *4M}ed to the flood it would turn the ma&ugiery of the continent; and the unavailing s/^ts would All C7cry oce^n sail. . *. ^ The one.-half has not yet been told. The miHions of wounded and mai|h^ /er life must be taken info aoeonut in summing np the grand total of evils incident, to this, bloody and fanatical war. And the end is not yet. HI" .i .9 .
