What io
(jia ? ia the
you Think of the News from Geor
question nov? mcst frequently asked.
What can p.ny one thiuk of the news, but that it is bad
news ? There is no dieguisiog the fact that we have
sustained a severe reversa there: aud there would be no
us? ic disguising it, even wre disguise possible
Liking the matter fairly in the fac?, nothiog exten
uating, we eLould noihiDg exaggerate nor set down
oaht in mai'ce. let thugs are exagger-
ettd, tied things ore eet down in malice.
The c!..ciiou3 at the Ncrth are near at band, and the
Lixc;ln papers will exaggerate aoy and all tha Buccesa
es achieved at any point ever the Confederates.
They havi? announced the recent transactions in
Georgia ss the death-blow or the " rebel
lioQ," and they -have proclaimed the end of the war,,
tarough X.rthern succsis, as near at hand. This they
h ive done btf re with no stronger cause, and with even
Ices motive. We httd not be sarprised to hear all the
orcaas of L;.!:colndom raise a grand "shout of triumph,
tov that triumph, or the appearance of triumph, is es
E.-ntial to their political salvation. We must not al
low the exf .-lesions and vaticinations of the Abolition
papers to fright U3 from our propriety. Neither
again, oust we attach too much importanc2 to the
ntteranc.'i of opposition in th? Confederacy, some
times er.rir.giig from honest motives and -seme-tiiiifs
the expression ol ptrscnal malice or
.political cr-charitablenes3, but in either case capable
0! bcir g tiLbouJed in the sage ucd profitable remark
" I told jca ?o," aliudirg more'directly to the removal
of Gereral JinxsTOx, and the 'ass:gnrcent of General
Ib?n to the command of oar largest Western army.
Tae m.fricaila of Frcsideat Davh are willing to
harp upon thi3 string, not because they love General
JoiiNSToy, bn: because they hte Mr. Davis ; while of
coars, as we know, General Johnston has many true,
ar d 8ec rc, and patriotic admirers, whose feeling3 ct
admiration for and attachment to that eminent soldier
T.tre shocked by his being set aside, and who will now
naturally look ou the dark side of aay disaster experi
enced by cur army under ether leadership. These sin-
cere iriends ol General Johnston are not to be classed
with the mtrc batcrs of Mr. Davis, still thair views,
Lovi'cver hcnc?tly entertained, must be taken with al
most as iaaay grains of allowance.
It is evident, then, that everything tends to give the
darkest coioiicg to public opinion in reference to our
f.tTa:r3 in Georgia. The Yankees exaggerate for a po
li'ieul purpose easily understood. The domestic growl
ers at the Confederate administration do the same thing
for purports even mere reprehensible, aDd the ardent
admirers of General Johnston, attributing all disasters
to the removal of tbeir favourite, are not in a frame of
mind fitting them for forming a clear judgment of events
certainly not for taking a cheerful view of the "situ
ation." We have had a heavy blow; it remains with ourselves
to say whether it shall be a "great discouragement."
We think the public spiiit will soon spring up, strong,
healthy a,d elasiic, and reaiy to breast any storm that
may com?, and to turu it back. We have sten darker
hours then thia, and 'scaped them too ; and we will
escape t&is as surely.
A Cool Peockeding. The Northern papers say
that the coolest robbery committed by the " rebel "
raiders in Maryland, was at an ice cream manufactory,
about f cur tern miles from Baltimore, where a small
body of cavalry devoured about fourteen gallons cf that
seasonable commodity, without waiting for spoons.
Thr Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel says that our
oss of tngH.es and cars by the fall of Atlanta was
heavy, amounting to six of the former, and ninety
eight of the latter destroyed.
YOL. 20. CONFEDERATE
, Thiw is oce thing that ! puzzles na ; jea,two things
no ao nos unaeiatand.. The first is to know the pre

ming numbers, and the halt, the lame and ihe blind are

v"uuj pvu mj tumtj .up 10 ie 9 assistance or cur main
army ia Georgia, Wheeler ia said to hav2 gone off 1
pniiandenng into Kentucky a perfectly fruitless piece
of folly. Start a youth at the head of a lot of mounted
men, no matter lor what purpose, and the nest you
hear of him, is in Kentucky or at the devil.
As ths eyes of ths whole country sre turned to the
KMf- t- . J. , .
theatre or active hostilities m Georgia, we have though
i btst to copy everything tending to throw light upon
that subject. The following is from the Augusta Con
stilufionaliit of Monday eveaicg.
Things are not so
bad after all :
From th Georgia Front.
VHB BATTLH 09 JOXX8B0RO.
From an officer who arrived in thiscitv thia morning
direct from Lovejoj's we learn some particulars of the
battle which took plaoe at Jonesboro'. Thursday.
Our lines were around Jonesboro'. breastworks beim?
thrown up reaching to the railroad at each end cf the
town on the west side. The enemy advanced from
Moms Station and crossed the road to the east of the
town.
About three o'clock the battle commenced by the
enemy making a furious assault against our works,
wnicn was gallantly reDu!sed. cram and arin the
Yankees were led to the charge, brineincrup fresh troops
ac every oneei. DUt were eacn time drivan back wnh
4 . I .
iigbtlul slaughter. After the fourth repulse the enemy
concentrated his whole force in front of Govan's Ar-
Kansas ungaae, wnicu was presaed back by overwhelm
ing numbers.
OUR LO8.
Oar loss will not exceed 1.500 in killed and woan-
ded. About 500 ol Govan's Brigade and the maioritv
ui iae Aii ana am ieaiucKy, wert tatcen prisoners.
General Govan and Captain J. A. Williams, Govans
r a 1 o a a -. 1 tv a sf
Adjutant lienerai are amoDgr the captured. Col. Ham
Smith, of the 6h Arkansas, well known in this oity,
we rerei to learn is among tne Killed.
EVACUATION OF ATLANTA.
General Hood evaouated Atlanta Thursday night.
after destroying all the stores which could not be
brought on together with the rolling stock of the Geor
gia Road. The particulars are in our possession ; but
trom prudential motives wa do not at present detm it
proper to givs details.
POSITION OT 0UB ASST.
Onr force! fell back from Atlanta on tb road to
Decatur; thence to McDonough, forming a junction
with Hardee's command on the Macon and Western
Road. Our army is now in line of battle at Love-
joy's, the line extending from there to McDonough.
The troops are in good spirits, and our army still con-
ironts the enemy.
We received from Macon yesterday a letter from a
gentleman in ngh official poiition who says the news
t A 1 k At A- M A . -A , "
iruui iu Auuuia iront is not near so sad as was antic
ipated. '
He says the division in our army was ihe sepult of
voluntary action, and was not caused by the enemy.
ty mis writing, wen. Jiood nas bis whole forea massed
together and, although Atlanta has fallen, our army is
uawmppea ana uncoDqueraoie.
It is not to be denied but that the situation in Geor
gia presents an exceedingly critical aspect. The fall of
Atlanta is a bitter pill to swallow, but tbs thing is
uone ana aowu 11 mast go nowever unpalatable. JNo
good can be accomplished by repining. Look the dis
aster full in the face, and be prepared to contest every
foot of soil. It is only by prompt, united and vigorous
measures that lieorgia can be saved. Much depends
upon those who are at home by seconding and prompt
ly complying with the requisitions of the military an-
thority in furnishing labor for the construction of de-
fences, and whatever else may conduce to the preserva
tion 01 our oiaie.
The enemy has paid dearly for Atlanta, and his army
is in no condition to follow up the advantage which the
po8seEsion or tnat place gives him. Uar army in the
meantime will be recuperated and reinforced, and
strongly fortified positions will be established, so that
when oherman next moves forward he will be confront
ed by obstacles greater than any he has yet encoun-
terea.
Sleeting of Stat Commissioners.
Richmond, Aug. 27th. 1864.
Pursuant to request of the Secretary of War, at the
instance of the Secretaryof the Treasury, convening a
under the impressment law, at Richmond, on the 25th
of August instant, lor conference with each other, and

States, and to sustain the credit of the currency, the
Commissioners- for tha State of flpnrtria. Micaiasinni I

on that day, and owing to the absence of the Commis
sioners from the other States, postponed meeting until
10 o'clock, the next day. Ihey met the two succeed
ing days, and alter conference with the Secretary of
War and the Secretary of the Treasury on the objects
of the meeting, owing to the non-attendance of the
Commissioners from tha other States, it was ordered
by the Secretary of War that the Commissioners for
the respective States, except North Carolina and Vir
ginia, should assemble at Montgomery, Ala., on the
20th September next, for the objects originally pro

Homb Manufacturers. Many of our most wealthy,
intelligent, and lovely young ladies have gone into the
manufacturing business, and some of them, we are told,
have made it quite profitable. Hat, cap and bonnet
factories have sprung up fa every direction, and almost
every man you meet wears an elegant new bat present
ed to him by one of these home manufacturing estab
lishments. Our girls have become really industrious,
they make beautiiul cloth out of raw material, and then
make it up into clothing lor the. soldiers; they make
, i
beautuui cats tor their fathers, brothers, sweethearts and
. 1 1 ... A
tnemseives ; iney make Deautiiul palmetto tans ; some
of them make their own shoes, and when the war is over
they will make the very best of wives.
Brandon Republican,
As in Mississippi, BO in North Carolina. The La
dies find that they can do many things that they never
dreamed of till taught by " necessity, the mother or id
vention.". We are now wearing a beautiful Palmetto
hat, made expressly aa a present for us by one ol tne
class enumerated in the last line of the Republican's
paragraph. She has forbidden the mention of her
name.
On Saturday last we saw in market neat and sub
stantial straw and palmetto hats for ladies and gentle
men in four different carts, showing that the manjnfac-?
ture is extending. And a gentleman brought to our
office several very pretty wreaths for ladies' bonnets or
head dresses, made of white feathers, a little sealing
waxrwire, fcc. They were made by a Miss McGeachy
of Robeson county, and snow Dotu skill and taste.

The Confederate cruiser lay calmly in Cherbourg's antique,
quiet harbor ; .
The wind -scarcely flattered the pennant that streamed
. from the truck of her mainmast.
Calm were tbe crew in her for castle, mending their jack
ets and Jersey fro 2ks.
Calm were the engineer officers, studying their books the
oretical ' -'-".- .
Calm were the midbipmen ' sharpening the dirks that
- bung idly in sword belts ; .
Calm were the mates and lieutenants, prepared with re
volver and cutlass ;
Calm was the captain, heroic the captain the Yankees call
pirate ;
Ca'm was the. bravo Captain Semmes, who commanded the
taut Alabama ;
Calm were the crew and tbe officers, but 'twas a calm reso
lution: "
l-Todo, or to-die a brave death, that should honor the
standard Palmetto;
To 6?bt till the benner Confederate waved from the truck
of the Kearsage,
Or the ribs of the stacEch Alabama lay a score fathoms
deed 'nesth the ocean. '
For days had the iron-clad Kearsage displayed the striped
aBd starred banner ;
For dys had Bhe steamed to and fro 'lore the msuth of tbe
harbor of Cherbourg ;
For days had she challenged the crniBer that numbered
44 290 .
For says had she taunted the cruiser, mon were wont to
call.fleet Alabama;
And thus spake ibe Yaukee commtnder : "Oh, spawn of
oppressive serfdom ;
When dare ye meet in fair conflict the captain and crew of
the Kearsage ;
Well doth tbe brave Alabama to lie in the harbor of Cher

Weil for ihe swift Alabama, she dares not to meet in fair
conflict
Th cru'ser that's destined to sweeo her right slick off the

Well lor the-brave Captain Eemmes that the cofes of Chex

"Oh, he!" quoth the rover, whose cabin is hung with the

Oh, run up th banner Palmetto free, free let It wave

Let the boson's-mate whittle, shrill piping, give the signal

And you, engineers, get up steam ; let a trusty A. B. at the

Let each man be resolved that the banner we love sha'l

When the laud 'hat we love shall be freed from the erasD

Forth steamed tbe flefc Alabama to enchanter the iron-clad
Yankee;
Fosth steamed the fleet Alabama to engage in the contest
unequal.
Suddea her battery thundered, and thus was the naval ball
oaatien ;
Not lot g was the Yankee responding, 'secure in advantage

to starboard;

Let those who are hile ahd un wounded, who prefer glori

Fine Philanthropy. On account of some hitch in
tbe exchange because the rebels dislike negroes, our
abolition philanthropists knowingly condemn thirty-five
thousand brave Union prisoners to starvation, madness
and death. There is a philanthropy for yon. It seems
that white men have no rights that abolitionists are
bound to respect, JSJtv York kJIerald,

A party of rebels charged on GcQcral VVashbao's
headquarters, shot the guard de-id a. his piw. at the
door, and made a general S"Hich oi th,e hrue. They
were too late to secure the General, howtver ; (b'lt not
too late to secure his splendid uniform) he buvivg bee-u
informed of their arrival just previous, euc.t-aied ia
r.achii g the fort in eakty. They took siveral prison
ers there, when they left after scattering the papers
around considerably.
On arriving at the corner of Beal and Second streets,
several persons came out on tbe p- rchot the Union
House, some laiics among them. Tae men were o.der
ed to come out, and U o of them wuc shot at, but
without efLct. A soldier endeavoied to make m's es
cape through the bar. k yard, and was t"ken prisoner
and carried cff. A lady boardii.g at tbe Unioa House,
named Mrs. Kiley, cams oat and told the rebels that
they were oil good secesh thexe ; that s'ie cDuld vouch
for them ; but that there was a nigger deu opposite
hat they ought to clean out. Thty acted upon this
advice, fired into the house, and surrcuudiog it, took
cfl the negro men tht;re. We saw a re jel in the alley
adj Jining shoot at a negro almost before he command
ed him to halt. Mrs. JLUey has been arrested, aud ia
now in the Irving Blcck.
There was quite a lively skirmish at the corner of
Madison and Main streets. A egldier oa guard at Gen.
Buchlund's headquarters fired at tbe ros as they were
passicg'aloDg Main street, and a couple of Qiinerma3
ttr's clerk's fired on them from tbe buuding at thu cor
ner. The rebels returned the fire without efLct. The
soldier on guard at headquarters dismoa ited oue of the
rebels by shooting bis horse, aud then ran up to takd
the man prisoner, but the rebel skedaddled.
Most people are surprised that the rebels did not re
lease the prisoners in Irving Block ; the reason was, tho
guard stood to tbeir posts. A pirt ot the guard hei
on the rebels frcm the upper wmdowa, aad the d tucu
ment below would have giveu tLe rebels a warm recep

The force that came itto town, from all we cm learn,
osa about five hundred, and were under com nail of

stated that Gen Forrest stopped at a housj about two
