[The following letter, as its date indicates, -was published before in the Atlanta Confederacy, now defunct, but as it is a necessary prelude to an original one now in our hands from "Bill Arp," we give it, the better to enable our readers to appreciate and understand the communication which will appear in our next issue. The subjoined letter refers to a character well known in Georgia as "Big John," who is, to use a familiar but expres? sive phrase, "a regular trump." The original letter which, as we stated, shall appear in the next number of the Record, will refer more at length to this celebrated individual, and also relates how "Bill Arp" returned to Rome, his experience and that of the Arp family on the way, and what he saw and did when be arrived in "the Eternal Citty. " [New York Metropolitan Record. ATLANTA, May 22, 1864. Mn. EDITTJK :-"Remote, onfrend ed, melankolly, slow," as somebody sed, 1 am now seeking a log in some vast wilderness, a lonely roost in some Okeefeenokee swamp, where the fowl invaders cannot travel, nor their pon? toon bridges pbloat. If Mr. Shake speere were correct when he writ "sweet are the juices of adversity," then it are reasonabul to suppose that me and my foaks and many others must have some sweetnin to spare. When a man is aroused in the ded of night, and smells the approach of the fowl invader ; when be feels konstraiu cd to change his base and bekum a ruuagee from his home, leaving be? hind him all tiloso nessasary things which hold body and soul together ; j when he looks, perhaps the last time, upon his lovely home, where lie has been for many delightful years raisin children and chickens, strawberries and peas, lie- soap and in guns, anti all sich luxuries of this sublunary life ; when he imagines every onusual sound to be the crack of his earthly doom ; when from sich influences he begins a dignified retreat, but soon is konstrained to leave the dignity be? hind, and git away without regard to the order of his going-if there is any sweet juice in the like of tbat, I bavent been able to see it. No, Mr. Editur, sich scenes never happened in Bill Shakespeere's day, or he wouldent have writ that line. I den't know that the lovely inhabi? tants of your butifnl ci tty need any fourwarning to make em avoid the breakers tipon which our vessel wrecked ; but for fear they should some day shake their gory locks at me, I will make publik a brief allu? sion to some of the painful girkum stances which lately okkurred in the regions of the eternal citty. Not many days ago, the everlastin Yankees (may they live al Krays when the devil gits em) made a violent assault upon the citty of the bills the eternal citty, where a hundred years the Injun rivers have been blendin divers waters peacefully to? gether-where the Chocktaw children built their flutter mills, and toyed with frogs and tadpoles, while these ma? jestic streams were but Uttle spring branches, a babblin along their sandy beds. For 3 days and nights our vally unt troops had beat bak the fowl invader, and saved our pullets from their devourin jaws. For 3 clays and nights we bade farewell to every fear, luxuriating upon the triumph of our arms, and tho sweet juices of our strawberries and cream ! For 3 days and nights fresh troops from the South poured into our streets with shouts that made the welkin ring, and the turkey bumps rise all over the flesh of our poople. "We felt that Rome was safe-sekure against the assaults of the world, the flesh and the devil, which last individual are supposed to bo that borde of fowl invaders, who are seekin to phlank na out of bread and existence. But alas for human hopes! Man that is born of woman (and there are no other .sort that I know of) has but few days that ain't full of trouble. Altho the troops did shout, altho their brass bound musik welled upon the gale, altho thc turkey bumps rose as the welkin rung, altho the commanding General assured us that Rome was to be held at every hazard, and that on to-morrow the big battul was to be fought, and the fowl inva? ders hurled all bleedin and bowling on the shores of the Ohio, yet it did transpire somehow that on Tuesday night the military evakuation of our citty were, peremtorily ordered. Nc note of warnin-no whisper of alarm nu hint of the morrow came from the inussled lips of him who had lifted our hopes so high. Calmly and cooly we smoked our killy kinick, and surveyed the embarkation ol troops, koustruin it to be some grand manover of military strategy. Aboul 10 o'clock we retired to rest to dreaii: of to-morrow \s viktory. bleep soor overpowered us like the fog thal kivered the earth, but nary bright dream had kum, nary vision of free dom and glory. On the kontrary our rest were uneasy-strawberriei and cream seemed to be holdin seces sion mectins within our corporate limits, when suddenly in the twinklii of au eye a friend aroused us fron our slumber and put a new faze upoi the "situation." Gen. Johnston wa retreatin, au the hlue-uossed Yankee were to pollute our sakred soil th next moruin. Then came the jug o war. "With hot feverish haste w started out in search of transport but no transport could be had Time-honored friendship, past favor shown, everlastin grattitood, numei ous small and luvely children, kun federate kurrency, new isshoes, ban] bills, .black bottles, all influence were strongly urged and used t< sekure a komer in a kar, but nar; korner - too - late-too -late-tb pressure for time was fearful an< tremengious-the steady clock move? on-no Joshua about to lengtheu ou the night, no rollin stock, no steer no mide. With reluktant and hast; steps we prepared to make good ou exit by that overland line which rai] roads do not control, nor A. Q. M. impress. With our families and a little cloth ing we crossed the Etowah bridg> about the broke of day on Wednes day, the 17th of May, 1864, prezakh a year and two weeks from the tiru when General Forrest reached ii ? triumph through our streets. B; and by the bright rays of tho mornii sun dispersed the heavy fog whicl like a pall of deth had overspread ol natur. Then were exhibited to on afflicted gaze a highway crowde< with wagina and teams, kattie an< hogs, niggers and dogs, woman am children, all moviu in dishevellei haste to places and parts unknown Mides were brayin, cattle were lowin hogs were squeelin, sheep wer blatin, children were cryiu, wagginer cussiu, whips were poppiu, an< horses stallin, but still the gran kavan moved on. Everybody wa kontinually a lcokin behind, an driven before-everybody wanted t know every thin, and nobody kne^ nothin. Ten thousand wild rumor filled the sirkumambient air. Th everlastin kavalrj' was there and s they dashed to and fro gave fids aiarms of the enemy bein in he persuit. About this most kritikul junctui of affairs, some philanthropik fren passed by with the welkum news tin the bridge wer burnt, and the dang? all over. Then ceased the panil then came the peaceful calms < heroes after the strife of'1 war is ove then exklaimed Frank Rails, my d moralized freud, "thank the goc Lord for that, Bill, let's return thank and stop and rest. Boys, let me g out and lie down, I'm as humble as eletl nigger. I tell you the truth, sung the long meter doxology as crosseel the Etowah bridge, and I e pekted to be a eled man in ?fte< minutes. Be thankful, fellers-lei all be thankful; the bridge is burn and the river is three miles dee Good sakes! elo you rekun them Ya kees kan swim? Git up, boys-lei drive ahead and keep movin. 11< you, there's no akkounting for an thing with bluei clothes on these daj Dinged, ef I ain't afeered of a bli tailed fly." With the most distressin flow language, he kontinued his rapsoi of random remarks. Then there was that trump of go> fellows, Big John-as clever as he fat, and as fat as old Falstaff-wi inde^rrt-igable eliligence, he had i kured, as a last resort a one-hoi steer spring wagin, with a low, i body a settin on two riketty sprin? Bein memnteel thereon, he was ur? a more speeely lokomoshuu, by la j on to the karkass of the poor e steer with a thrash-pcl? some ten ii long. Having stopped at a house, I procured a two-inch augur, and bo: a hole through the dashboard, pull the steer's tail through and tied the end in a knot. "My runnin g? is weak," said he, "but ? don't inte to be stuck in the mud. If the bc holels good, and the steer don' pull his tail, why, Bill, I am safe." "J freud," seel I, "will you please inform me what port you are bon for, and when you expect to rei it?" "No port ait all, Bill," said "I'm goin ded strate to the big Ste Mountain. I um goin to git on top anti roll rocks tlown on all m kind. I now forewarn every li I thing not to kum thar until this CN ! lastin foolishness is over." Hew j then but three miles from town, : been travellon the live long nig Ah! my big freud, thought I, wi wilt thou arrive at thy journey's ei In the language of Patrick Her will it be the next week or the n year? Oh, that I kould write a poi I would embalm thy honest faci opik verse. I can only drop to I pleasant memory a passing rand ' rhyme: ; Farewell; Ihg John, farewell ; Twas painful to my heart, To see thy chances of escape, Was that old steer and kart. I Methinks I see thee now, With axletrees all broke. And wheels with nary hub at all. And hubs with nary spoke. But though the mud is dee ). Thy witH wUl never fail : Tht.t faithful steer win take thee out, Lf thou wilt hold his tail. Mr. Editor, under such varygated scenes we reported progress, and in course of time arrived under tl o shadow of thy citty's wings, abound in in gratitood and joy. With sweet and patient sadness, the tender hearts of our wives and daughters beat mournfully as we moved along. Often, alas, how often was the tear seen swimming in the eye, and the lip quivering with emo? tion, as memory lingered around de? serted homes and thoughts dwelt npon past enjoyments and future desolation. We plucked the wild flowers as we passed, sang songs of merriment, exchanged our wit with children, smothering by every means the sorrow of our fate. These things, together with the comick events that okkurred by the way, were the safety valves that saved the poor heart from bursting. But for them, our heads wordd have been fountains and our hearts a fountain of tears. Oh, if some kind friend would set our retreat to niusick, it would be greatly appre? ciated indeed. It would be a plain? tive tune, interspersed with okkasion al comick notes and frequent fuges Bkattered proniiskuously. Our retreat were konducted in ex? cellent good order, otter the bridge was burnt. Ii there were any stragglin at all, they straggled ahead. It would have delighted Gineral Johnston to have seen the allakrity of onr movements. The great struggle of our contest seemed to be which army could retreat the fastest, General Johnston or our/i-which could out plank the outlier, and I allow as how it ware pull Dick pull Devil tween em. It are a source of regret, however, that some of our households of the A fri Tenn scent, have fell buck into the arms of the fowi invaders. I suppose they may now be called missin genna tors, and are by this time inkreasin the stock of Odour d'Afrique in Northern society, which popular per? fume have crowded out of the market ! that make X.

THE ONLY RECOGNIZED DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN NEW YORK, DAILY, SEMI-WEEK? LY AND WEEKLY. TO THE PUBLIC. THE NEW YORK NEWS HAS BATTLED against despotism for four years of blood and terror, in assertion of thc sanc? tity of tho Constitution. A patriotism sufficiently broad to embrace both sections has been its onlv guide, and it refers not With honest pride to its record to show that it uas not turned to tho right or tho left tinder all the violence of arbitrary power. True to its principles as THE NE\VS has been through tho reign of terror, it chal? lenges public confidence in its honesty and independence for the future. The political transition of the present dav opens to THE NEWS a new and wider field ot usefulness. Standing now, as it always has, on the inviolability of the Con? stitution, according to tho interpretation of the strict constructionists, it presents a rallying ground for all, in both sections, who are friends of a generous conservatism. As a true and tried exponent of sectional amity, it occupies a position which makes it the fitting mediator in holding up to the party of order, in both sections, interests and principles that gave breadth and vi? tality to their alliance. As an inte rsec tional agent, devoted to freedom of elec? tion, to trial by jury, to tho sanctity of tho habeas corpus, and opposed now, as for four years of terror it has been, to the cen? tralization that dares to trample on the rights of States, North or South, THE NEWS places itself as a candidate for sup? port before the great body of this once free people. HThe circumstances of the moment make tao dissemination ol' the principles of THE NEWS a duty of individual patriotism. Every niau wini concur? in its doctrine must, if he entertain a true sense of free- , dom, do so ia no spirit of indifference, but rather with the earnestness of a high trust. Justified, nay bound, in his luve of iiborty, to do so,the proprietor places the canvass he makes herc of tile public generally in thc hand.; of those men who give bin: the ap? proval of their consciences as his individual agents. Every reader of Tun NEWS cannot avoid tlie conviction of duty which is here pointed (jut as the ground of the request, that h . urge.-* ils claims for a wider support upon a.. of his friends and neighbors who give th ir earnest sympathies to the cause of "strict construction,'* intersectional con- j ciliation, und all the rights of the citiaens | under the system set up by our fathers of ! liberty regulated by law. Thc proprietor of THE NEWS calls', therefore, upon good I and true Conservatives throughout the country, to discharge, to their convictions of political right at this great crisis in the country's fortunes, the duty of giving to I the intluence of his paper, daily, semi- ; weekly or weekly, the wider power for good | whieli it seeks here through the service of ! its individual supporters.
