A gbkat B att lb has been fonght, or is still progressing, on the line of the Rsii'rnart W tween Atlanta and HiMta nooga, the contest opening ...bout h r'cen rniKa S. uthweet of the latter place. The te egrapli of oomae gives us all the information that we hve y received in regard-to it. That the fighting has been heavy and ibat it will most pro- bably bo renewed, if U ha indeed yet ceased, appears to be placed beyond the shadow 'of a doubt. Our losses ire large those of the enemy are said to be very large. On Baturday aQ(1 tlj raost of Sunday, although the fr tnnes of the field leaned slightly to oar side there wai yet no decided advantage g jind. If full credit is to be given to the dispatch of the operator, wc had on Monday gained fgjijjcssoisioa of the field end w repursning the enemy, who will doubtless fall back npon his entrenchments at Chattanooga, from which, at the date of the last accounts heras said to be not more than six or seven rail s distant. We hope, however, that he will not be let rest there, as we know that fresh troops are still arriving and will continue to arrive at Bragq's camp, enabling him to press cn and grarp the substantial f:uits as we1! as the mere name of victory. So fr tho news simply indicates .one of those hard won fields in which we have gained the ground eff which wo have forced tee enemy and no more. We presume that additional details may be expected at any time. Every day is big with the prospect of startling j events, and any day may bring tho newa of their occur rence. Things cannot rest as they are now. The ball is opened, and little relaxation of effort need be looked for i antil the campfiign closes, which, in those moaatainou3 re gions, it will probably do by tho beginning, or, at farthest, the middle of November. Our armies in the West have a 1 1 mighty wort before them in the next fix week. The re- 1 j.nntinn nf I ennpBRRS tha hnnciTiT of r.nnfitn Kfmtnclrr.. the clearing out of tho Yankees from Northern Mississippi, Georgii and Alabama. WV trust tht their numbers may be found euffic3ent lor these purposes ; their valor wiil not be doubted. The Yankees say that Lee is depleted, and yet they do nstadvanco npon hira. Perhaps Mkadb is only glad that Lee does not advance upon him. No doubt Meade is him S3lf bedly depleted, and his army merely a nursery of con Bcript3, which he is licking into shape. The best troops of the Yankee army are out West at this time. They mean to take Richmond by operating agaicBt its connections with the Southwest. We have no doubt our authorities are at last aware of this Btate of things, and will adapt their mea sures to tie changed position of affairs. The information from the trans-Mississippi Btates ia so totally unreliable that, indeed, it is cn'y by a sort of false courtesy that we call it information at all. If we had not heard a rumour from Arkansas, Western Louisiana or Tex as, for three months, we would have been jast as well in formed as we are perhaps better, for although we might have mis3ed a few email grains of truth, wo would, on the other hand, have been spared mcny buBhels of falaehocd. If our armies are eacceeuful in TeLnescce, we need fear no serious movement by Chant against Mobile, nor any fresh movements in Mississipi. If they are nnsuccea ful, Wft mnot Dorro obmoItcs to fooo ru-.-riy new trials.

If our Intent rep-Tts are true, thefightitg nint h.ive been very desperate and the carnage awful, and the end is not yet. Ir we have vi?-lly a?hieved,any iinporant euc cess, we pres-ume that it w 11 be pushed ti the nimoit, so as to aecur i all the advantages that can possibly be deriv ed from it. Yesterday it was expected that LcnGsThebt won d fd vance on the enemy's new position on Ki&icn Ridge, which would appear to be eleven niilea in th re ir of hi orjg n al position. The Atl&uti papers of yesterday have noLLia that tends to throw a-iy tidtlitionai tight upoa the position or "situa tion." we know netting certainly and can only hepe thr't our lots is not bo heavy as reported. The rumors cf G enseal Lsb'b presence in the West were evidently unfounded. His name ia not mentioned in con nection with tho recent batiles. The reported death of Oenetal Hood is very mnoh doubt ed in milita-y circles, ai the General was BtiU Buff;ri:g bo much from the effects of a wound received at Gec t.burg, that it is not believed he was in a condition t; go on the field. It is remarkedtl;at General BnAaa, in Ir's despatch es of the 21at makes no mention of any ii-jary to General Hood, an cmisBicn whiob, would hardly have occu-red in regard to an officer of the rank and position of General Hood, had he indeed been mortally or even seriously wounded. We shall soon learn definitely. denoe would be lo3t, never to be restored. I?t us con sider that as credit i3 one of the chief bulwarks of our defence, it becomes us to beware how we temper with dI'KUIAIUK. Our Fhinif. Oakland, S. O , September 12, 1863.

The steamers Venus and Cornubia'rom Wilmington, arrived at St. Georges on the 8th. The Bteamer Juao cleared on the 10th for Nassau. Tha steamship Gladiator was to sail from Bermuda on the 10th for Liverpool. In its memoranda the Guz;tle adds that 'the Confederate Bteamer Eila and Annie, Captain Bonneau, which left here on Thursday evening last for Jamacia, returned to St. Georges yesterday morning, having lost both paddle-boxes, wheel-house, hatches overboard and sustained ether dam age in the gale of Friday.

A cknilbman belonging to the Ccnfcders-to navy an swers oar query in regard to the JIackts in our navy by informlrg ns that there are three : commander Matthew F., formerly at the Observatory in Washington, now in Europe on bnmWa connected with the construction of ves "sels for the Confederate government. Wm. L. Macrt, Lt. commanding the C. S. Steamship Georgia, and Lieut. John B. Maukv, whose preseut location we do not know. We cannot say whether those S'avbys ar8 related to each oth er or rot. We think uot. Noah Wkb-?tek saitb U at the equinox i the precise time when thi pun enters one of the equinoctial points, making tha day and night of equal length. The sua enters the first point of Aries about the 21st of March, and the first-point of Libra about the 23d of Ssptemberi so that the sun will enter Libra (tho balance) to-morrow. We don't thick we have Been any two people agree npon the day, when as people utnarly say, "the sun crosses the line."

The Fayetteville Observer, which we gave as our authority, learned verbally that such was the case. In reply to the denial of the Progress, the Observer states that a gentleman of Fayetteville who happened to be in Raleigh on the night when the Standard cflice was attack- ed, informed the editors of that paper that he heard in Raleigh that the attack was preceded by an altercation at the def ot, between the Georgians and friends of Mr. Hol ds k. This is the whole matter. The Observer receives a cer tain report verbally and gives aa it get3 it. The Progress states that this report is incorrect. We ch terfully give this statement, correction or contradiction by t,he Progress, and only wonder why so plain a matter as s etting right a cotemporary where it has been misinformed cannot be done in Bcmewhat better temper. We aro sorry to eay, however, that good temper dees not appear f.o be thobfush ion of the Raleigh press.

Fulton fy Price: Until lately, tver since the Yankees came to New born, the negroes in this quarter have had the Aboli tion fever, but now their ftver has turned to an ague, since ttuy have found out tlmt ii stead oi having been carried to the North and set free and now living in brick house? and ridii! in One earriagea, and eating ham and turkey and drinking French Urandy and Champagen, every nijro that has run ofi'to Newberu, since the Yankees came there, ia there yet in a most ragged and beggarly condition, working on fortifica tions and railroads lor X dollars per month, which pay, they say themselves, thty lmY.e never received, and that Abraham Lincoln's cidcr3 lire, that the Captain of every vesssel that eaila from Newbern to the Xortb shall, before leaving that prt, take au oath that he has not a negro on board, and the reason why this or der has been made is, the JNorthe n pi-cnde liave found out that every negro that was stoleu iroin via in the wars of 177& and 1812 by the liutisk, bad to be paid for, and they have no idea ot bemg taxed to pay tor onr negroes, especially as about three-fourths of the people there are opposed to iutei faring with our institution of slavery. For instance, ubout one half ot the North em people are democuUs and vf course are opposed to Abolitionism ; and na for tne oier half the Black Je publican party only oue half ot them arc Aboiition ista, whilst the other luilf ore high tariff men, who care nothing about our redoes, but promise the Abolition ists, to assist them to tree ur negroes, if they would as sist them to pass tbe r h gh lurdl laws. Yes, our ne erroed have found out all this ; also, that the New York Herald has advised Abraham Lincoln to hunt up ail tha tree, negroes at the North 'and send them dot. j South and put them in the front of battle and have one halfol them killed, and let the. other half run off and hide in our swamps as the most effectual means of getting clear of them, which plan Abraham was not slow to adopt, as his own State has passed a !iw to prevent fr2e negroes from going there, r id he himself having said that " the dillcrence between the wnite and black races so broad that it ia impossible for the lat ter to ever aspire to a moral, soc::!, and political equality with tha former, and that he wonld rather cee slavery extended from the Rio Grande to the Saint Lawrence, than to pee the Union dissolved " which proves how much he thinks of the negro. Yes, cur negroes, having fcKnd out all this, now say they have got enough cf Yankee freedom are satisfied, especially as they have also lieard that the London Z?ics ,6ayp,"no matter which whips, the North or the South, the negroes are doomed to either slavery or extermination" and that the 'limes justifies our sla very institution on Bible grounds ; also, that the Lon don Dispatch eays, " the negroes in Louisiana are bet ter cfl in a state of slavery, than they are in Dahomy free ; that the day the British g&vernmeDt set their slaves in their West ludia possessions tree, was tt e day both the black and the whites went to ruin; that every Journal in London, except a tew under the influence of the Exeter.

Editors, this war has caused the whole civilizad world to enquire into the condition of our slaves, and ihe re sult of their enquiry is, that the negro in the Southern Confederacy, in a state cf slavery, is better off than he is at the North or any where else on earth free. The truth is, it wou!cl puzzle.the wisest statesman, Philoso pher and Philanthropist on earth to determine which the negro most stands in need of an ovetseer, on the account of his idleness, or a guardian, on account of bis improvidence he being proverbial for both idleness and improvidence. We believe that if our Legislature was to pass a law to-day to emancipate our slaves, that it would not be five years before they would desire the law to be repealed. Look at the tree negroes all over the State, nc half as well provided for aa the slaves are, and frecjuently giving their indentures tor life to some white man, or applying to the Legisla ture to be made slaves. The negroes thrmselve? have got sense enough to know that two races, a superior one and an inferior one, cannot live in the same state on term3 of equality ; that the latter are obliged to be slaves to the lormer in fact if not in law. And the only difference in being a slave in law, and one in fact, is this : the former has but one master, and the latter has a dozen every man in the neighborhood and it is easier to serve one master than it is to Berve a dozen. Look at the free negroes at the North 99 out of 100 of them the poorest, raggedest, and meanest vagabonds on this earth, one half of their time in the daily work houses and Penitentiaries. And why is thi3 the case ? Why, JTcst, because of their idleness and improvidence 4 second, because the Yankees cheat tnem out of what little they do work for. TUCKAHOE. Lenoir County, N. C.

We maintain that the faith of the Government is involved in any act tending to deprive its issues of the virtue of cunency it issued its promises to pay, with the implicit, if not expressed, uulorstanding that they were io serve as a circulating medium until their re demption. We trust that no financial schemes will again be adopted, which will bring our Government into didiepute or its faith into quj-stiou. Ouf lives, our fortunes, an-1 our sacred honor, now depeud upon the integrity ot our Government, and the maintenance of its tschuteon untarnished and let us see to it that the Ittpubiic receives no detriment by the adoption of any rash measuH'5!, calculated to blvst our hopes, so near the Mount "igah of independence. . There are men in the Confederacy who would pull down our glorious po litical fabric to gvatiiy their pique and to promote their selfish ends. Let lovers of their couotry trown down ell such attempts, and expose tLe fallacy of arguments upon which opinions adverse to our interests .may be groundtd. But the vital question is, how is the currency to be reduced ? The Examiner says " compulsory landing is the only cure left to the Government." In reply, we would urge, that the Government has already tried compulsory luiuiag, by reduciug the promised rate ot inteiet at a given time to i per cent., thus depreciat ing the value of those notes unfunded ; but the result i3 that only Sl2G;000,000 have been funded, though holders had ample warning to fund in time to secure in vestments in eight per ceuts. We might reason from this result that the above amount was the surplus or amount over and above the pum required " lc circu lation and domestic exchange," and that the country can bear an is3ue of $523,000,000 a$ circulation. Assuming this to ba so, it cannot b3 denied that the large amount of currency has pioduccd the present in flation of prices (it would be the same if the country was vs much inundated with the precious mete's as it is with paper), and even though' the country can bear so Irtrge a circuliliou, room must be made for future "is sues for the support of our Government, by withdraw ing at leant 3300,000,000. It is not so certain wheth er this mcasote would caue a corresponding decline in prices, for th3 (.ioVtrnirent wculd ha constantly mak ing new issues, which would take the place of the old issues withdrawn, thereby keeping up present prices. But if no greater eflort is made to fund the paper now out, it is probable that in two years more of warfare prices cf commodities will have doubled their present point ; and should the war continue longer, in the course of a few years it will take a bushel of shinplas teis to buy a gill of rum, which was the case during our first revolution. Total repudiation would very likely be the consequence cf so extraordinary an is sue. Bat supposing the funding of the notes to be more rapid than the new issues of the Government, which nvu3t be the case if proper measures arc adopted, then prices must go down, which will relieve non-combatants at home v the Government in the supply of its commis sariat, and ruin our enemies, the speculators. It seems to us that the policy cf the Government i3 to issue and fund by offering great inducements as it goes along, and not aelay enuring such inducements until its issues become so large that it will never be able to pay the interest, much less the principal ot its debt, tor, as prj ces become inflated by the enormous paper currency outstanding, so the Government will have to issue more notes for the purchase of the necessary supplies for the support of its army and navy, which supplies become enhanced in value In proportion to the issue cf notes But if the currency is kept within moderate bounds, the Government, being the largest purchaser, will buy cheap, and the people will live undisturbed by visions ot starvation, repudiation and EUbjagation To withdraw the surplus currency, I would suggest that the Government adhere to toe original c:mpact expressed on the face of the notes, " funded in 8 per cent, stocks and bonds of the Confederate States." Let it be a voluntary and not compulsory matter on the part of the holders. Make it an object for capital ists to invest Government notes in Government securi ties, by laising the rate of interest from 4 to 8 per cent, and even a3 high as 1 0 per cent., and rely on tax ation to pay the interest of the debt. The evil of hea vy taxation is certainly not so great an evil as either repudiation or the collapse of Government credit from improper fioancial management. It i3 far better to be taxed heavily than to lose all, a3 the functionary at Washington eavagely declares to hra admiring myrmi dons and vassals, "it is easier to p3y a large than a larger sum." A good deal of Eurplus capital has been absorbed in the blockade stocks, as promising marvellous returns, but as enterprise in that direction ha3 received a check by the siege of Charleston, it ia probable that capital ists would seek Government securities with zest, it the rate of interest was 8 oi10 per cent. I o entice holders of notes to fund, it must be con ceded, is preferable to compelling them. A man whose note cannot be discounted or hypothecated for a loan, has not the- confidence of hi3 community and to that status would joa reduce the Government, by the pas sage of an aot depriving the currency of its capacity as a medium of cscbaDge. At one fell swoop c?n ; satisfied that his syrup would take the prize at any syrup fair iu Georgia, I think 1 am doing the people a cervice in discribiitg his methoil. After stripping the blades off, he cuts down no more than ho can grind in a day, lest itshoud sour in tho stalk. lie starts very early in the morning, and grind:--rapidly as much as will fill a kettle before he begins to boil, and never adds any more.juxce to that k'-ttle. lie strains the juice through a course cloth into a barrel, and theu, when he pats it in the kettle strains it again as Le pours it in. When the juice is bowled down to one fifth of its original qunuity it bogins to make big wrinkles like a cow's maw, and rope3 from the skimmer when it is poured out. Then jets of syrup are thrown from the boiling surface five or six inches high. The fires are now lowered and some syrup is'put in a dry pun, and the pan in eold water to free, how the syrup runs. rA glospy anppearance, like oil on the surface, is observed, and the syrup is taken out of the kettle with bnck'ets, as fast as possible. A bucket or two of cold water is immediately thrown into the kettle, and before any more juice is added, it is washed out as clean as it was at first. This prevents the burnt syrup whicbTotherwise would stick to the kettle from spoiling the taste of the fresh juice. For the same reason he does not begin to boil until tliekeUlc is filled with juice, aa he would thus cook the first more than the lust", nor does he add any fresh juice to the bo ling syrup. A man stands by with a perforated skimmer and skima off every particle of froth that comes to the surface. He puts in no lime. nor potash, nor soda, and the syiup tastes so much like spgar, that at dinner neither he nor I was able to tell which pastry was sweetened with Sugarand which with syiupofhis manufacture.

Dczier for syrup making. lie states, "alter stripping the blades off he (Mr. D.) cuts down no more cane than be can grind in a day lest it should sour in the stalk." This is an error, I think, of Mr. D., at least it does not agree with my experience. Two days after I had commence! the grinding of my cane this seeson my mill broke, leaving me cn hand nearly a day's-grinding of cut cane. I then entertained the same opinion that Mr. D. docs, but hearing that, a citizen of this county (Mr. King) always cut his cine a few days before grinding it, I concluded to par.k mine away in bulk and experiment a little with il. Ten days elapsed before. I could start my new mill, by which time, my cane was so dry that it rattled when handied. It was groundy-aad, to my astonishment, a stream of juice came forth larger even than had flown from the treeh cut cane. This, however, I ascribed to the superiority cf my second mill over the first. I measured the Juice myself, and from every thirty, gallons, (the capacity of my boiler,) I realized eight gallons of syrup, superior to any I had ever seen obtained from the Chinese cane. This experiment satisfied me that Mr. D. is in error as 'to the souriDg of cane if allowed to remain longer than 21 hours after being cut. The fresh cane, I will state had yielded only a fifth in syrup. By the time; my se cond mill Wc.6 put in operation, rhy CiJntf bad ripened ro iuuy, that its yield of syrup is about equal to that o the dry cane. Planters generally, I think, gri&d up their cane too soon. By letting it get perfectly ripe you lose no syrup out save labor and time in boil ing. 1 agree with Mr. I. that fresh iules should nev er be added to a kettle after it has boiled long, ai the syrup will be imperfectly cooked and be more liable to sour. A blanket I consider the best strainer as one straining throagh it ia sufficient. There is a notion afloat, among somo syrup makers, " that it wil never do to commence boiling a kettle of juice unless you complete it." Sixty gallons of juice, is the total capacity of my boilers, and I average from o0 to CO gallons of gyrup daily, working from daylight to 0 o'clock, P. M., at which hour I fill my boilers with fresh juice,"fire up, and leave them till morning. One hre will prevent the juice from souring, and give al hands work at daylight. By this plan 1 keep the mil and boilers going all day. If you don't believe the Chinese cane will make a'good syrup, try it. I send you a jug of it. A. II.
