In bis speech to the people before get ting oat to take command of the armies in Macedonia, the above Darned Goneral says : " I beg ot you, as a great fvor, that yen will not give credit to, or attribute consequence to the vague and un authsntjcated reports which are freqaently spread abroad. I perceive well, ia this war, more than any other, that with whatever resolution people may determine to disregard these rumors, they will not fail to make an impression, and h spire soms degree of discouragement. There are those, who, in ccmpaav, and even at tables, command armies, rcgri.vte tr.e disposition of forces, and prescribe all the opcr.iticns of tho campaign. They know better than we here we should encamp, and what posts it is necessary fjr ns to seize ; at whit lime, atd by what dtnle we ought to eater Macedonia ; where it is proper to establish our maRazir.es ; lrorn wnei ce, either by sea or land, we are to brim; provisions ; when we are to fight the enemy, and when to lie s' ill.

Correspondence of the Columbus Guardian. Jacksonville,-Ala, October 26. Oa Friday night last Generals Beauregard, Hood, Obeatam, Lee, Cleburn , Walltball, Clayton and sever al others. made speeches to the army of Tenntssef1, in all . which they stated ibat they were goiog to cross the river and rnftrch northward. And on the following morniDg tbe army broke up its encampment at Gads den, and took the roads leading to Gumerevitle. We have news tbis morning tbat the river baa been safely crossed and that everyt hiog ia going on as well as heart could wish. You can well imagine how those speecaes were received, ttvd with what alacrity ranks were form ed, and how elastic tbe trtad on the roar? towards tbe beantifnl Tennessee. Up to that time there had been many doubts as to tie destination of Gen. Hoed, many supposing that af ter he destroyed the Chattaooogo and Atlantic Rail roac he would fall back to Ibis place and Bine Moun tain and winter his army. This might bave been his anticipations vben he left Middle Georgia, but so suc ceesial had h j been up lo the time he reached Gadsden, that the "whole army and people with one accord de manded that onr standards should oace more be unfurl ad over Muritesboro' aid Nashvil'e. Nor nd you be at all astonished to hear of the Cumberland being crcsaed. Forrest lead tbe head of the column and Cle burne covers the rear. Gen. HooJ enters upon this campaign at the bead of the finest army ever marshaled this side of Virginia.--It a larger in cumberhas better Generals, aud it is in better spirits than was ever,known before. It is, per haps, somewhat deficieut in shoes aojd blankets ; but tbe men all believe that they are going to a land where an abuncance of all these, and many things. more, will te obtained. As to tbe position of tbe enemy we know nothing, save that Kiipatrick followed our army from Lafayette to within a few mflea of Gadsden, and is perhaps still upon that line, all else is supposition. We know, however, tbat Sherman will be obliged to concentrate in Middle Tennessee and there fiht a pitched battle, that is if Hood does not seizs Bridge port and Stevenson, and thus forca him to adopt a more northern line of retreat. Hood is upon the interior line and 1 think there can be tut little doub3 as to the re sult of the racj for Murfreeeboro' and Nashville. Tbe country may rest satisfied that General LTood will uot withdraw lrom Tennessee, as bis predecessors did, without "striking a manly blow for .the State." Be ought to get tweDty thousand new recruits in twenty days, & d as the Yankees there force every man to join oiie Bide or the other, and as the State is just as true to the South as cur noble old mother Georgia, ycu can" qaickly decide as to which side they will take. DUNIRK. Ludicrous Mistake. It appears that a most ludic rous mistake occurred r.mong the Yankees during Grant's late " reconnok?ance," to the Boyd town Plank road. One brigade of Yankees, lately arrived in the grand Army of the Potomac, and UEacqaaintcd with localities, became separated from the rest of the troops in the advancs on the- Boydtown plank road, lhey wandered around for some time ia tbe hopes of meeting with their comrades. Suddenly, however, tbey came oat upon a railroad th Boathsida railroad ,of course, the very road they were looking lor. lhey set to work upon it in a trice, and enthusiaatically tore up about a mile and a hall ot it. Suddenly they hear the whistle of the train. They wait for it eagerly, ready to pounce upon the unweary passengers and eatiat9 themselves with plunder ; but the engineer sees danger anead, and stopa the locomotive with a shriek. The Yankees had torn up a mile and a half of Grant's new railroad, just aid down from the vicinity ci Petersburg to Uity Point. Petersburg Express. Thb Florence Babsacks. A correspondent of tbe Edgefield Advertiser writes : Florence, the military prison, is about three miles from Florence Depot, which is about one hundred miles from Columbia, and the same distance from Wilming ton, N . C, and from Charleston, S. C. Tbe Stockade contains an area of thirty-two acres, and is built of loes eigheeen feet long, inserted in the ground to the depth of four feet, with a small ditch inside and a large moat or aueu uuiaiuo. me uirt ia imuwu up agaiuct tbe timbers on the inside of the enclosure, making a solid embankment some ten feet high, upon which our sentinels are posted day and night. In each corner of the Stockade there is a large and substantial piatiorm, and on each platform two pieces of artillery so arranged as to sweep any direction. There are about sixteen thousand prisoners confined in this Stockade. They represent every State of the Lincoln Empire, and many other nations besides ; but the Emerald Js!e is more fully represented than any other portion of tbe globs. About one thousand have taken the oath of alh giance, and it is said more con template doing so. The greatest morality per diem since the establishment of the Stockade has been fitty five and the smallest about thirty. They bury their dead with heathenish indifference and appear neither lo tear God or to regard men. Cure for the Neuralgia. The Alta Californium sajs : Some time since we puDiisuea at tne nqaess. ot a frk-nJ. a reciD? to cure neuralgia : Half a drachm of oil sal ammoniac in an ounce of camphor water, to be ta ken. a ttasnnoaful at a dose, repeated several times at intervals ol five minutes, if the pain be not relieved at once. Hulfadozec different persons have silcj then tried tbe recipe upon the recommendation of the Alia, ami in everv case an immediate cora was entctea. iu one case, tue euuerer, a iauyf uuu ut:cu suujcuu-u iu vcijr acute pains lor more than a week, and her phvsieiau , rm I 1 I 3 I J n was unable to alleviate her ennenng, wnen a teaspoon- ful of the solution of sal ammoniac m camphor water re lieved ter in a couple of minutes. Whether the rtcipe will cure all attacks ot neuraij?:a, is a question we cannot answer j lhat it will cure rnuny we are assured. Bold Attemft to Lscape. A bold and Very in genius attempt to escape from tbe jail was made by some of the Yankee officsrs night befoie last. At night the 88 prisoners are placed in the second story to sleep. At the south vfe3t corner ot the jail and about 12 feet from it there ia a small wooden buildiDg, the " comb ing of which is on a level with the second story win dows of the jail. From one of theee windows the Yanks had run out a bridge made from their sleeping bunks and rested it in such a secure manner as to prevent its falling. Twelve o'clock was the hour fixed lor the attempt to escape, but unfortunately for them the bridge was discovered by tbe prison guard. Severa shots were fired, and jadging from tbe bullet marks aroued the window, the brick a;:d mortar fragments must have been stirred up unpleasantly near some of them. Columbia (6. C.) (xuardian, of A inst. An Old Man who has Shst Sixty Persons. The Cairo correspondent cf the St. Louis Republican tells this storv : " At one point on the Tennessee river there is a place that has become a terror to steomooat men, ana in pas sing it they always find seme place to secure themselves till the boat passes. At thi3 point an eld man, sixty- odd, years of age, has made his headquarters lor a long time, and the peculiar crack of his gun ' is familiar to river men, and sends a thrill of terror wherever it is heard. He has a long heavy barreled gun, originally a sauirrel rifl3. which ha3 beea bored out three dmerent times, until now the largest thumb can easily be turned in tho muzzle, ana tee aim oi me oia man ia one o, deadlv certainty. The sentinel ia always faithfully upon hia watch, and his retreat has so far baffled all to catch him, from the fact that h3 is so 'Burrounded with dense ewamps and deeD ravines. Well informed river men estimate that this old man has killed ia this way not less than sixty persons ; and yet he performs hia work with &a much eurnesiuesa uuu vigor as wncuuc mat tuiuiusuwiu. The Albany Argus, (say the New. York Times,) is of course, indignant at the attempted fraud in the sol diera' vote, lt says: M Gov. Seymour is absent, but he will demand of President Lincoln tbe release of those agents of the State and the return of the soldiers' bal lots to their destination, end if the Administration re- foses, it moat accept tag alternative.".

JJ'or nearly six moains the preperations have Dten in progress, anu uunog tuai time contributioua the most valuable have flowed io from all parts ot the world. So numerous, indeed, are the articles uma generously given, mai me uiucany Las not been to "dress" the Btalte, in tbe technical seuse ol the word, but to exhibit all tbat tbey contain ; for a bazaar on so sumptuous and vast scale as tnia one, is dwarfed even iu the rragDihcent hali devottd to it. The London Herald tLuadt scribes the scene : Tne stalls, ot which there are twelve, named afier the Southern States, arc ranged down the sides cf tbe hall, fi. Mfch eidaand ihe remaining two iorra a large central tent, fiom the apex of wbicb rises a triplet ol tri-colored nags. Tri-coiored drapery a iso rooia me stalis, and it being o( bunting instead of the ordinary glazd calico, givts a peculiar soft and rich appearance, iioivMetiB the tffjutiveness of the harmonious color onntrimtB. Toe alalia are alternately square and octa- ecnal in shape, tbe octagons imving teut or spiral rooiB rising to a point, and cappea wuu tne conitu-raie ug; anrl th toure ones. Bioping rools, reaching about hail way up to the gallery. Tbe counters are all covered with crimson cloth, and a drapery valance, which ruus round tbe top of each sitiil, lorma a vety grace ui cor- If is elaborately dtcorated with a blue margin and a prettily designed red, white acd blue centre, and above ths top margin is a neat border, -wr;ntinr in a tii-color cord, which run lrom btali caii 'i hfl nanelinpi at the bottom of the stalls are of whiu drapery, relieved by blue ; and tbe panels themselvea are divided by gold Deadmg, ana nutea at tha hnttnm. At the south end of the hail, and ia tbe u wm - - - middle of the floor, is the auction stand, an octagonally shaped piatform, which is to be at first appropriated for k larrrAr ivnri hpAvier articles, lt. too. is wrapped in crimBOo, and bears ingeniously-designed combinations of colors. The panels are fluted and have gold mould in tra. and the centre is studded with blue and white rosettes. The antral teut, to which we have already rpfrrrrti thp larppst. is also the most complete : cne- heit nf it frrmi the Kpntockv stall, uresided over bv the Lady Da Hogbton and Mrs. Oliver, and the other half of the TennesEee. stall, at which the Lady M. Be resfotd Hopr and Mrs. P. Hull presided. Various " flaca Conlederata and British are dis played throughout the hall ; but these have been select pA with n. innifinusness anil taetn rahinh haa ra ther tend ed to subdue tffdcts, and thus prevent tbe glare and randlnc-es which nrobabiv would otherwise have been apparent. Thus at tbe apex of each of the bell-roofed sectional octagon tents are small triplets a tri-oolor of the Confederacy being in the centre, and the English and French flags on either side. At the stall named ' Georgia," which is the fourth on the left-band side, the flag ot tbe ship Georgia is exhibited ; and it may be interesting to mention that this same stall ia presi ded over by Mr. Bullock, the wife of Captain Bullock, of the famous man-of-war. The fronts ol all tbe stabs are coyered with small silk hanners, bearing the stars of the Confederacy and the motto, " Deo Vendice." On entiring the ball frcm tbe east lobby, tbe first stall on the lelt hand is" Virginia," held by the Count ess de Dampierre, Mrs. Patterson acd Mis. M. G. Klicgender. The great attractions on this stall are a number of artlaticallj-designed albums of the Confed erate generals, a bronze of Mephistopheles, and various small articles of interest. "North Carolina" is the next etall in order, and it is presided over by Mrs. Spence and Mrs. F. Worthing ton. It ia ricbiy laden with china vases, aud contains a magnificently gilt deck. "South Carolina," the next stall, is held by the Lady Warnclifla and Mrs. Prioleau. It contains chiefly email, bat richly-wrought, articles and baskets ol elegant workmanship. I he "Georgia" stall is verv ficelv decorated external ly, but the interior is devoted ehkfly to baby linen: the only other article worth notice here being a curiously shaped large clock. The lidie3 Dresidiccr are Mrs. Bui lock aEd Mrs. Tianman. "Florida" is presided over bv Mr3. Cassin nnrl Mrs. Patrick. It contains mnnv valaable and e!i?QAnt nie ces of Workmanship in woreted, some excnisitelv- wrougtt screen needie-work two bassinet?, gilt otto man, and a large number of small ferns and other arti cles. Tbe ccntta! stalls " Kentucky" and "Tennessee" will probably be founJ tbe most attractive, not only from ther position, but also from the great varktv cf their contents.

A letter in the London Pest, from Peris on the 14th ult., spanking of the American war, says : lhe Moniteur ana other Doners have referred to the peace address sent from Great Britain to the American people. If thre huadred thousand signatures have been obtained in Lagland and Ireland, an equal number might, with utmost ease, have been collected in France. I be French Government, regarding this civil war aa a great disaster for America, and a great calamity for a certain ciass of manufacturers, has continued officious ly to promote ideas of reconciliation. On the other hand, tbe strictest neutrality was, and is, observed on all questions ponoected with the building of vessels or furnishing munitions ot war. The Imperial Govern utnt of course only know3 the Government of Wesh iogton ; but it is no secret that, &3 in England, tbe Southern envoys have occasionally communicated with official personages in Paris. Perhaps the Sympathy of tbe majority in this coun try is with the Southern cause. The French people in stinctively iean towards the weaker 'party, and witness, in the heroic fights cf the Southern army, a people struggling bravely, and with marvellous endurance, agaiust an enemy whose resources, domestic and for eign, are almost unlimited. The French people, from all that one can observe, deeire to witnees the end of this bloody struggle quite as much as do right thinkifg men in Englaud. Personal and material in terests, however, have ltr-s to do with that feeling than formerly. The cotton trade of Havre and Rouen has gradually righted itself, at least to a certain extent. As in England, other supplies have been landed at Ha vre, and trade has gradually recovered. The exporta tion trade generally, from France to America, has not, strange to soy, fallen cff. The wealthy io the North ern States buy largely from France. The alrm once felt in this country about tbe Amer ican war has greatly diminished. But the t'esire for peace is not Ices universal. Humanitarian aa well as material interests associate the Government and people of France with the sentiments embodied in the peace ad dress of tbe British nation. IIi!4iiwrltinf. " P. W. A." writes to tbe Savannah Republican : The correspondence between Gen. Lee and General Grant is cow before me, and I have been nuch struck by the handwriting of these two ablest Generals the war has brought forward on either Eide. General Lee's handwriting "id boid and rather stiff, his letters being large , round and very distinct. He bears heavily upon the pen probably a goooe qu;il and abbreviates many of hia words, as if" writing were a labor to him. Tho following is an txact transcript of tbe Gist sentence iD his letter to Gea. Grant : "Gen'l I bave rre'd your letter of the 18th inst accomp'g copies ot letttrs from JuJge Ouid Conm'r ot Exchange of Prid'rs on the part oi the Confute States, c too Hou'ble E. M. Stanton Scc'ry of War and Lt. CjI. Muifbrd Asst. Comm'r of Exe. of the U. States," He does cot, as you r erctive, punctuate closely; and no where in his letter do-.s be write r ut tho word avd, but invariably uses tr.e abfevia'ioa, &. Aud yet be pauses long enough to dot aU bis Vs, and crosses all hia t's. All his letteis are drawn nearly straight up acd down the paper ; in otuer words, tbey are like himself, round, full, boid and upright, inclining neither to lhe right nor tba left, and standing firmly on thti? base as if tbey disdained all ass sun ee. Tney are so clear and precise, so round aad weighty, and ihsticc, tbat each letter remicds one of a tolid cao.noa b ill, and each word of a cluster of grrpj4,jt. Gen. Grant's h i dvvriting, oa th :. contrary, though not so bold and oislinct, nor the letters bo large atd round and erect, is, nevertheless, very legible aad very striking. It is lull of energy and action, aod his let ters all incline to the right, mid follow one after anoth er with a little epaee.b3twtei them, as they represented an equal number of his brigades, on a rapid march around General Lee's right. Among chirographers his band would ba cabed a running hand. Thi words oc cupy much space from left to right, and still tbey are very clear and legible. He pays more attention to punc tuation than Gen. Lee, abbreviates less, and is equally careful of his i's and t's. It may be tbe work ot ima gination, yet in reading bis letter I cannot but picture tbe writer as a restless, nervous, energetic man, full of fire and action, always in motion and always m a hurry. . The handwriting of both of these great mer io what would be denominated as experienced and characteris tic. Neither of them writes w2li, and neither would be selected to take charge cf a couatry school, if tbeir se lection depended upon their ohlrogmpby. Thus we have two more witnesses, in two men who occupy more of this world's attention at this tim2 ihan any other two living, that greett men write poar handa." Inter bstihg fkch 1?ezico.

A correspondent cf the Mobile Advertiser, writing from Louisiana about tbe two new United States Senators elected by tbe Yankee Legislature, says : Mr. King Cutlar and Mr. Charles Smith are the two individuals selected by the Yankee Legislature in New Orleans to represent them in tbe U. States Sen ate. Mr. King Cutlar is a fifch-rate lawyer, but is looked on as a great man, no doubt, among the small scally-wags cf the bogus Legislature. After the war had fairly opened, Cutiar was so patriotic on the Con federate side that a military company, called the " Cut lar Guards," wes organized in his honor the expense, it is presumed, coming out of his pocket. Nobcdy waa surprised at bis turning Yankee, when it was die covered that it would pay to bQ a traitor in New Or leans, because no one tver suspected Mr. Cutlar of be ing troubled with anything like a con3cienc3. As for Mr. Smith, he is said to be from the pariah of St. Mary's ; and when I tell you this, I arrive at the limit of my stock of knowledge of that gentleman. Certainly, it wa3 never suspected, until of late, that Louisiana had a statisman hid away among the sugar cane and orange groves of that beautiful parish, of the name of Smith. Judge Durell, Mr. Cuthbert Bullitt, and that profound philosopher and eminent man of sci ence, Dr. Doatie, were in nomination, but Cutlar and Smith bore cff the honors. Dostie did not get a vote not even the vote of the man that nominated him. This is bad. From theBicbmond Sentinel.

And thus onr Heavenly Father ordaina with human love, Parting ia this world of sorrow, to reunite above. B. E. T. From the Nassau. N. P.. Guardian. 26th nit. Oa Wednesday evening, about 6 o'clock, the "quiet on our city waa broken by the discharge of two pieces of ordnance in quick succession. Great excitement pre vailed in consequence, but we scon learnt tbat the firing announced the arrival of tbe long expected steamer Ban&bee. A number of gentlemen at once hastened to congratulate the veteran Captain Steel on his, return to our port, and were much gratified to find tbe indefati gable " Banshee Taylor " on board, almost recovered from the wound he received when the Federals boarded the Night Hawk cfi Wilmington. The Banshee is a magnificent vessel of the burthen of about 440 tons, and her engines are 300 horse power. She had the honor of outstripping the celebrated mail boat Ulster in a race across the Irish Channel. An other proof of her great speed is that she left Wilmin mington at 9 o'clock on Monday night, and reached here at 6 p. m. on Wednesday, the shortest trip ever yet recorded. She brought a splendid cargo of 1260 bales of cotton. Capt. Steele's uniform kindness and affability to say nothing of his coolness and bravery under difficul ties have made him a special favorite with all who have the pleasure of his acquaintance. A Substituts for PRESERVES. A lady writer in an exenanga coinmunicaiea the following bit of infor mation obtained where sae " took tea last." A dish tbat 1 took to be preserves was passed, which, upon tasting, I wus surprised to learn contained no fruit. Tbe ease with which it was prepared, and the trifling cost of its materials, are not its caief reeOfcrnendations, lor unkss my tasting apparatus deceived me, as it is oor, usually wont to do, it is emphatically a tip top sub stitute for apple sauce, apple butter, tomato preserves, and ail that sort of thing. Its preparation is &a loliowb: Moderately bol a piut of moiasats from 5 to 20 minutes, according to its consistency ; then add three eggs tho roughly Df-attn, hastily stirring them in, and continue to no;l a faw minutes longer, then season with a nutmeg or lemon. Iitw tU lisrelJ f-iopasts ta eul Cite War. The New York Herald, which has been rather eva sive and iron-committal so far in tbe Presidential strag g!e, ccmea out at Iu&t with a declaration ot its " plat- lurm. Its lovling points a-e tbese : 1. That our unly road to peace lies' through the des truction or dispersion and dissolution of the armies ot the rebellion by lorce of arms. This ia our ultimatum, our platform, as the first esseatial to peaca. We stand by titn. tirant ana tbe armies ol the Union, negroes and all ; and by Admiral Farragut aod the navy of the Union, and we are for aiding tcese in every way to esatter tne armeu loreea or den, jJavis to tne wiuos, and to drive bim and Lia despotic ruling jurjta from tbe country, 3 the shortest and only road to peace. 2. With tbe accompUsbmeul of tb;s glorious result our platform of reconstruction is tbat which was eab mitled some two years ago by our Secretary of State, Mr. Seward, to tbe Jb reneh government ; tbe simple plan of declaring the vacant seats m both houses of Congress ready ror tna return of all the representatives due lrom tbe unrepresented States. As lor the remnants that still may exist of Biavery and tbe siave power, they may be left to die a natural death. They are already out cf the category of living issues. Next, with this reorgcuization of the Union in both houses cf Congress, we saall have a " convention of all the Stated," authored by the Constitution, and competent to scsttla alloutstaadiog bardeas or grievan ces of any State, or section, or class of individuals, re- ! salting from the legislative measures adopted to carry on this war. Iu tbe rec'tificatioa of our foreign eff-iirs, the next thing ia order, we hold, will bs a special ambassador to England with a demand for indemnity for her pirat ical spoliations upon our commerce during this rebel lion, acd for a substantial treaty of security lor the fu ture. At the same time a special ambassador to, or call upon France, will be require i by the general voice cf the country, demanding ot Louis Napoleon the with drawal of his mozk heroic imperial establishment from Mexico, and the recognition ot tbe Mexican republic. In this connection the Monroe doctrine, we commend, mu3 be revived, and declared aa extending to all the in dependent nations of this continent . Bhsaking tjp o? a Government FiansaT.- One day last week, the enemy landed on Mash's island, about thirty six miles from tbis city) and surprised and captured a party of fishermen, two pickets i and two citizens in ail eighteen persons with tMeir Eeices, boats, eta. The citizens afterwarda escaped. The fishermen are detailed men, and engaged in fishing for the Government. The ensmy'a force consisted of about fifty men, who divided, one half going rouad one eide the island, and the other half the other side, completely eurroupding the party, who were unarmed and could af ford no resistance. The captured men, when at home, live in Wafcmla county. Homum, Avt wt. J .Qna TXormaa . Tdn tr;.;: . ... . ryuiQU" ,Ficketl'a division is 8tronStCiter has been. I am told that Gen.

Hia death has thrown a gloom over all of us, bat no obs can experience more sorrow at hii losa than ia felt by us, except bia devoted wife and family.
