We copy the annexed from the Atlanta ltelligeneer of the 24th inn. and concur in the opinion, having seen many oi the iame gang scattered throughout Charlotte oa Monday morning at liberty, the most contemptible looking cut throat scamps we hare erer seen: Arrival or the first Installment or Yaxkxes. The train on Tuesday even iii? brought down the first installment of Yankee prisoners from Bragg'a army. I'ney were part of some 2,500 captured on Saturday, and were full of bombast. They are the most hang dog looking scoundrels we have erer seen. On Saturday Ve appealed to our fellow citizens and especially thcity authorities, n t to allow the Yankee prisoners to come in o town and suggested that the officer in m nand be promptly advised by the Ex rrutive officer of the town the necessity of t ofnplying with the order. But, although me preparation was made to enforce the re-olution of the Commissioners, no res pect was paid to the wish of th authori ties. ' .Such an outrage we hope will not be re listed, for the citizens, by authority have organized and will enforce rcsprct f r our municipal regulations. At about 9 o'clock'yertterday morning, a Mt-ial messenger was sent io the Mayor to i-fiii a lorce to the depot m keep the ,n.r;TB in subjection as they had.eihi- i'ii irna of, insubordination.

J Br Mr. Editor: In tlte Catawlxi Jtunal, of the 15th inst., appeared an article, copied from the Peterbnrr Epre$, gising the names of ten members of Co. II, lib. reg iment N. C. Troops, who were to be exe cuted for the double crime of desertion and murder the kiiiing of Adjutant Mallctt being charged upon them. This i alto gether a mistake o far as the 13(h regi ment is concerned. The - murderers of Adjutant .Mallei t lx.Ionsed to some N. C. regiment in uen. Johnston s division of Gen. Ewoll a corpi, while the 13?h regi ment is attached to Gen. Wilcox's division oi Gen. A. P. Hill's corp. Co. II, of the 13th' regiment, is from thesood old county of Rockingham, was brought iiii'j service by. Captain (now General) A. M." Scales, and is composed of as Stanch fighting ma terial and as good Southern mm as rait be found in the Confederacy.' - , L The 13".h regiment fias done its duty nobly and well;' has fought unflinchingly from the sharp little conflict at Williafjs burg. Va., to the desperate battle at Get tysburg, Pa., and it will continue to fight, using its utmost eflorts to drive back an insolent and dastardly foe, wly I am sorry to see receives no email degree of encour agement from the skulkers and pea?e men at home who. are too cowardly to risk their valuable carcasses in the wayof Yankee bullets, but are mean enough to endVavor to sow the seeds of disaffection among men who are not no nervous as they and are disposed tod.i their whole duty towards their bleeding country. " No sis, there have ben no desertions amjng he original members of the old 13th regiment. These men hd an object in view when they bid adieu to their families and left the quiet and comfort of ilo-ir Ji mes, and until that object is accomplished they will remain where duty call tltrm, turning a dcat ear to the mutterings of a few conscripts and exempts whose peace meeting resolutions j are paraded so conspicuously in the Raleigh ; Standard and Frogritt: The troops are in better fighting trim j and in better spirits than I have ever seen them, and I feci the utmost confidence in the result ol the next battle. - While writing. I hear heavy firing up the rivcr Stewart's cavalry are at work, and in all probability the long expected Gght has commenc4Anoiher desperate game tor tholloved bnes at home and for our liberty and independence is about be ing played. God grant' that" we' be the winners. . . -" , I saw Capt. Erwin, of.the Mecklenburg' Rangers last night. He is very well, and as usual in fine spirits.' His brigade passed up the nvef early this morning J. D. M. President Davis to Got. Brown. From the Atlanta Intelligencer, Sept. U. "In conclusion I take great pleasure in recognizing that the history of the . past year affords the amplest justification for your assertion, that if the question had been, whethef the conscription law was necessary in order to raise men in Georgia, the answer must have been in the nega tive. Your noble State has promptl y re sponded to every call hat it Ins been my duty to make on her, and to yoi, person t Ily, as her Executive, 1 acknowledge my indebtedness for the prompt, cordial and effective cj-operation you have afforded me in the effort to defend our common country ajainst the common enemy. Jeffersox Davis Tue Yaneees in Florida. A gentle man. who arrived in Savannah on Thurs dap, informs the News that, on Wednes day last, a number of Yankee barges a-p proached Bay Port, Florida, (which is a port on the Gulf some forty miles north of Tampa Bay,) and burnt an English steam er which had run the blockade with a val uable cargo of goods. The steamer was acrronnrl at the time about one and a .halt miles from Bay Port The Confederate troops in the vicinity wcre-in small num ber, and, deeming their fire insufficient to repel the enemy and save the property at the Port, set fire .to" several small vessels ying at the wharf, and fell back. ,Mr. Parsons, finding it- impossible to save the goodn in his warehouse, set it on Ire, and it was speedily consumed. It contained a large quantity of the steamer's cargo,, which had been landed and stored, together with a quantity of cotton intend td for the steamer. The steamer St. Marys, well known in Savannah and Florida, has recently been raised '; but, upon finding that she had been badly strained and leaking, iha was again sunk in eighteen ftot'of water. . I Tlie nuitary irieetfnE;. At-a meeting of the "soldier of Ruther ford county, of Scale's brigade,. Capt. F. L. Twitty was called' to the Chair, and A,. B. Carson and John L. McDowell was re- .ueaysd to act as Secretaries. The object of. the meeting being ex plained, the. following named committee were appointed to respond to the patriotic address of the young Ladies of Rutherford: Lieuk Geo.' H. Mills, James Davis, T. B. Twitty, M, Hampton and A. D. Flack. The following reply being presented was unanimously adopted : "VO THE YOtiG LADIES OF RUTHERFORD." Having read with mingled sorrow and pride your very interesting and noble letter, published a few days since in the '"Daily Bulletin," aod addressed to the soldiers of North. Carolina, we, a remnant of Ruther ford soldiers, take special delight in thus acknowledging . tt you our unbounded gratitude fbf the assurance oi your una ceasing patriotism. In reading such bold declarations of devotion to our glorious cause oj the part of our noble fair, we are stimulated to more desperate efforts for tho freedom of our country, the honor of our State, the defence of our homes and the loved ones there. And we can grasp with' more manly courage our weapons 61 defence when woman's gentle voice is ever .whispering in our ears, "forward" our cause is just and holy. Wc deem it but just to say honor to the young Ladies of Rutherford, who f nobly and unhesitatingly express their pro test aeainst ench demonstrations of hatred to tho cause of independence and the rights of freemen, honor to your names forever, since in the very midst of a -host of such base skulkers who would be statesmen for theircountry, but whose ignominious and cowardly hearts will not permit them to fight .for her freedom, a host of would-be great and brave men, when they are sur rounded only by women and children, and who with the dignity of a Cicero clamor for peace, that peace which would r'be everlasting shame to the soldier, 0 ne has the right to call for itj'vile; cur nation and the beginning of ' of bondage" to our women anax We say honor to your names ioreverTwhov in the midst of extortioners, croakers. skulkers of duty -and such like declare that you despise iosiduous cowards and that your faith is strong in the prowess of South em arms,, tho-alor of Southern soldiers Vn3 the justice of a righteous God. We must confess that such a faith on the part f the fair ones at home is a ray of comfort to our sorely tried and oppressed spirits, for it is real sunshine amid the thick dark ness that has long siuce settled around the hopes of the weary and care worn soldiers, and again we can lay hold of ttie hilts and declare that under such assurrances we can with renewed zeal and energy strike for liberty, and while we strike we know it is for our independence and for your freedom, for our honor and your protection. We are the more hopefully assured of a speedy recognition of our independence as a nation, of a speedy and honorable peace, that peace which all true men hail with pride and with joy since the women of c ur land call for it and the principles of righil and honor, for verily do we know that it is only for woman to say and the work is done. ' . And again tendoring our unfeigned thanks for your letter of comfort, and for the hon orable and wise position that ye, the daugh ters of our sunny South have taken, we promise renewed devotion to our sacred cause, and as true soldiers, having secured that which all true men desire, to Return to our homes with the proud hope of securing true wives. Capt. F. L. TWITTY, Oh'rnt. A. I). Carson, 0 -r. - , J.L. McDowell, J.crctar.rs. From the Traiis-IHIaaissipp i. ' Advices from Arkansas to the 7th state that up to that date there had been no lighting there of any consequence. The Federals find but little sympathy among the Arkansians. The people, in fact.are represented as intensely hostile. A party who went out from Brownsville, Texas", on a foraging "expedition, offered the citizens greenbacks for delicacies; they, however, refused it with disdain, declaring that they would rather take brown paper. Confederate script was eagerly taken by them. . . A gentleman who left Little Rock on the 6th, reports that etghte'en hundred In. dians, armed and in full war paint, had entered that cuy General Smith had re. lays of horses from the city to Arkadel- phia, some ninety miles.. He says Price's army was tbou't thirty thousand, strong. ' On the s?m authority it is s'ated that the plan!ers who are permitted to haul their cotton to. Memphis to procure family supplies, are required to pay over to. the military authorities -there, 'one - hundred dollars per bale for the privilege. Major John Dunwoody has arrived di rect from Texas, having left San Antonio on the 2i inst. He reports everything in the trans Mississippi Departments as very favorable. The army is being rapidly re cruited. Its supplies" of food," clothing, ammunition and "arms are believed to be abundant, and the spirit of the people'is nconquerable and defiant. Tlia .Situation in Front-Tho flattie of Cliicainauga. From the At'anta Int!igencer, Sept. 24 We have the most gratifying intelligence from the front. . The battle of Chicamau ga has boeti fought and won, and the ene my no longer polutes Georgia soil with his presence. The indications, too, are plain that a large portion of Tennee will soon be delivered from the pre of the van dal foe that has so long ,, uevastatedr her fields, insulted, outraged, and plundered, her gallent people. A telegram now be fore us, dated on yesterday, addressed to a distinguished-Ten nesseean in this city, and coming fronf one who is in a position to know the situation of affairs in the vi- , cinity ofChattanooga, says to the Tenhes seeans ; "The Road is Clear, Come on Home." Doubtless we are now in possession of Chattanooga, and if reports, upoiv which weplace implicit reliance. b true, in his front and in his rear, and on all sides, the wily Rosecrans, with a bare-, remnant of his army stands deprived c ) the - ability either i ' hiJt position, or with the main portion of his forces to escape.' We are advised that thousands of his men have w been made prisoners since the last 'fight, and that they keep surrendering them selves in bodies' of. fifties1 and ' hundreds along the line, stating that they had been I destitute of lood for two days.

Of the much abused and traduced individ ual, Gen. Bragg all of which he has borne with the fortitude of a christian soldier what will new be said?t A vaunt ye. croak ers, ye censors of the press, ye malcon tents, and closet critics ! Hide your "'di minished heads," and learn from the events of the past few days a lesson that will teach you forbearance in the future that will (each you to "hold up" the arms of those that lead your armies into battle, and not to pull them down !' But we forbear, and will only add that Georgia owes to Gen. Bragg and his gallant army an eternal debt ofgratitude. But for his strategy, his .masterly "movements, by which he circumvented, and finally defeat ed the wily Rosecrans,. our State . would now be experiencing what Virginia, and Tennessee, and Mississippi, and others of our Confederate sisters have, experienced, and our city have been in possession of the vandal foe. All honor, then, to the noble old Chief and, gallant army that 'came in time to oiir rescue ! Below we give such items of interest as we wore able to ga ther up yesterday morn ing: , Wc learn from sources deemed reliable, that on yesterday (Tuesday) Gen. Forrest destroyed the pontoon bridge across the Tennessee river, "by which the - enemy ex pected to cross in the event of defeat, but being driven from that portion of the river, they fell into our hands.. It is also-stated ihat the right wing of our army had succeeded in getting in, the enemy's rear, cutting off his retreat by way of East Tennessee. ' Rosecrans men. arc reported to be with out any rations or ammunition, all their stores havipg been destroyed to prevent their falling id to our hnds. Our capture of light artillery will foot up 53 pieces, -many of which are .very fine Parrot guns. The battle-field, is represented as liter ally covered with dead and wounded Yan kse?, and a very intelligent gentleman in forms us that the enemy's loss will exceed ours five to one. All bur . wounded' have been removed from the field, and are be ing as well cared or as circumstances, will pernyt. . Several of the. Yankees captured Tues day report that they are subsisting on , green corn and state that if cut off from crossing the river, the wtole army will, surrender, rsthf r than starve. : ; Destructive Firkin Hillsboro'.

'Prettv Xliouarlit:' What is crime ? A wretched ' vagabond n.- . . ' . . . traveling from p lace to place in truitieas endeavor to escape from justice,:, who is constantly enga?ed in hot pursuit; a foe to virtue and -happiness, though at times the companion of innocence, which is too often made to suffer for the guilty. What is thought ? A fountain from which flows all good and evil-intentions-rr a mental fluid, electrical in the force and rapidity of movements, silently 'flowing unseen within its own secret avenue; yet it is the controlling power of all animated matter, and the chief main-spring of all our action. . . What is hapiness ? A butterfly that, roves from flower to flower in the vast garden of existence, and which is eagerly pursued by the multitude in the vain hope of obtaining the prize; yet it . continually eludes their grasp. What is fashion T A beautiful envelope for morality, presenting a glittering and polished exterior, the appearance of which" gives ho certain indication of the real val ue ot what ifcjntains'tbjerein. What is wit ! A sparkling beverage that is highly exhilerating and agreeable when partaken at the expense of others; but when used at our own cost it becomes bitter and unpleasant. What is knowledge ? A' key that un ravels all mysteries, which unlocks the entrance, and discovers new, unseen and untrodden paths in the hitherto unexplor ed field of science and literature. . .What is fear ? A ; frightful subetanea. to the really guilty, but a vain arid harm less shadow to the conscientious honest and upright. What is joy? The honey of existence really beneficial and agreeable when par taken of in moderation, but highly injuri ous when used to excess.
