?|ohw)ga They enquired what so many
eeMilo were doing about here, instead of
fbic tcehk, to reinforce Hood, and Ay that
Shetstan will be in Augusta shortly. 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?

piuuy witu wxucu sue names commuuicated
from ooe apartment to another. It is
though* the fin was set in the cellar- by
some <rf the servants, who had been chastised
for some cause a day or two previous.
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.?
Aocriou sain are largely attended, and
evftfr broken furniture and croekery bring
fitimloas prices. Every body seems to be
speculating, and dm darkies seem folly np

An eleetipn is to be held to day in the
two York companies for Senator and Representatives
to the Legislature, and for Tax
Collector. "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. Cooper
were- carried out,' and the large number of
Enrolling officers. 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. About York, the Iron Wor

to woft for their "victuals and clothes,"
and bejtept ont of the war, while iron is
kept up at^high prioes?in Charleston, men
are detailed to make salt at $9 a bushel,
bat it is sent by the favored ones to the upcoantry
to be sold for flour, pound for pound,
or a little over, and to avoid impressment,
shipped to the credit of the "navy depart*
ment," or some other mythical institution
above the comprehension of our common
people. The Rail Roads, toe, appropriate
more than their share of the fighting material
of the country, while tWr ftre is still

increasing, and poor devils tike us, when

have to pay two months eompenaation for-a

and so whan our in dependence is gained,
those who have enjoyed ewe and secured
competence, will turn their hacks on the
poor Soldier, save when they ask ho vote
for position, or power, forgetful of the past.
The soldier's should remember all snob, and
probably will. E.

September 28,1864.
Mr. EditorThe shelling of the oity
since my last, has increased. 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

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. ?
Tho enemy fire bat little on Sumter from
battery Gregg, the shells thrown there are
mostly from Black Islagd. Some shells
were thrown at this place yesterday, this is

week, no casualties reported.
To-day Gen. Beauregard, accompanied
; by Gens. Bipley and Jones, paid a visit to
I this place. Tbe respective companies, in
fail uniform, and with arms, were paTaded
near their respective batteries, to welcome
tbe distinguished personage as he passed
along the parapets, reviewing, as he proceeded,
the massive fortifications and gnns.
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. Important movements
may be shortly looked tor, wnen tnis aistingui3hed
warrior reaches his destination.
As nothing farther of interest is on hand
I close for the present, hoping to koep your
readers informed of matters that may bo of
interest. More anon.' Yours truly,

by which she had always preserved the at*

is," answered she, "in doing everything
that pleases him, and by bearing patiently
everything that does not please zne." An
example worthy of ail imitation.
?The gallant Col. Mosby was wounded on

Yankees in the vicinity of Washington city.
He arrived at Richmond on the 23d. His
wound is not considered dangerous.
? The Richmond Whig says : A gentleman
connected with the army near Peters-,
burg, writes us this morning that it has been
ascertained that some of Sherman's men
have already reinforoed Grant. Others are
expected. ^This explains the request of the

Gbifpin, Sept 29.?Jfothing remarkable
has occurred in Gen. Hood's army for
several days, except the visit of President
Davis, who arrived here on Monday and
reviewed the.troops on Tuesday. He was
received by the men with great applause,
and made them a speech. Gen. Hood also
made a speech saying that he would, in a
few days, lead the army to battle and to
victory.
The Yankees are very uneasy about the
operations of Forrest. They Bay he has
25,000 men. Two divisions of the fourth
corps have been dispatched from Atlanta

Petersburg, Sept. 29, 5 p. m.?-Last
night between 9 and 10 o'clock there was
heavy cannonading and musketry firing on
the eenjbre and part of onr right. It wag
nothing more however, than a discharge of

that 50,000 men would flook to our standard.

I The War, Spirit in Mississippi.-^.
i With over three years of the mosfcifcsQlatiDe
war ever known .in history. find
! the spirit of the 8 onth still unshaken, s^nd
I the same lofty spirit of patriotism stiff nerving
every portion of the people. The fall
of Atlanta bee not dispirited the people of
the far Sonth. 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. *

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.
