Scphehs, ot Georg'a, was written in re ply to the proposition made by Sherman to Gov Brown, Mr. Stephens and others to hold a conference With him in reference to psaee. The letter! is characteristic of the temper, . intellect and patriotism of tho man ; " : . i Ckawfokdsville, Ga., Oct. 1, 1864. Wm. King, Sr.y Eqr : 4 Sik: I have considered the - message you delivered me yesterday from General Sherman, with all the seriousness and gravny due the importance of the subject. That message w.-is a verbal inviiation by him, through you to me, to isit him at: Atlanta, to see if we could ngie i pon some plan of; terminating this fratrici.a war without the further efi'usion of bloedJ l he object is one w!.L-h addressed itself witij peculiar intL-;e.-t and great ft rce to every well wisher of his country to eve ry friend of humanity to every patriot to every one attached to the principles of felf-o ernment, established by our common ' ancestors. I need nut assure you therefore, that it is an object verv dea,r to methere is no sacrifice I would not make, short of prin ciple and honor,; to obtain it ; and no effort would I spare, under the same limitations, with any! reasonable Or probable prospect of sue cess. - ' . . ; But in the present instance, the entire absence of any power on my part to enter into such negotiations, and the like ab-' sence of any such power on his part, so far us appears lrom his message, necessa "rily precludes my acceptance of the invi tatiou thus tendnred. In communicating: this to Gf n. Sherman, you may also say to him that? if he is of opinion that there is any prospect o our agreeing upon terms of adjiistment to ' be submitted to the action oY our respective governments, even though he has no power to act in advance iu jhe premises, and will make this knowoMo nie in some formal and au thoritative uiauner (being so desirous tor f e.oc hiasdf as you represent him to have exprcsse 1 himself,")! would most a- ; ly and widingly, with the cons- ntl cf -our.au horities, act ede to h'.s request j th a manifested,, and enter with all tho e;irnestness of my nature upon the respoh sibu and arduous task of restoring peaen and harmony to ihn country, upon pi in-; Ciples oi honor, right and justice ta all parties, lhis does not seem to me to be at ail impossible, if truth, and reason ishonld'be permitted; to have their full sway. lours most respectfully, , N (Signed,)' AjaEx. H. oTEPnESS. RECONSTRUCTION, OR ANNEXA TION TO ENGLAND OR. FRANCE. A correspondent writes as follows tq the Richmond Whig : Talking of reconstruction there is btt one means for a thorough reunion, and that is by a combination between the Confederates and the Northern Conserva tive, cemented the Mood of the Black llepuMicans. If the Northern Conferva ties would -at on and actively co-operate with us on this basis there might be hopes of a happy arid permanent re union. But nothing short of the blood the extermination of the monsters who have mads this war will suffice. ; If the Northern Conservatives are not rtady for this combination, the next and possibly odr best alternative is annexation to England. and France. This would ren der re-union forever ; impossible, and at the same time gratify that which, is the absorbing passion of every Southern heart, vengeance on the infernal Yankees. I would make the application for annexation in the first instance! to England, as the mother country. If she declines, we could then apply to France. The advan tages to either would be so great, that refusal could not be expected. ! The advantage to us. would be eternal separation from the Yankees and the ability of wreaking upon that Godless race a rich and sweet revenge. At pres ent, however able we may be to maintain our independence we are not able to des olate their land as they have desolated' ours. . Uut;l that i effected, the dead cannot rest quietly in their graves . , ; The Mcrtury and the Southern Field S Fireside have been united into one, W. B. Smith & Co., having purchased the latter. The interests of the two papers being con solidated, only one paper will be issued thereafter, and will take the name of the Southern Field & Fireside. The first number under the new arrangement will be issued in Raleigh, Friday next. We wish the proprietors much success in the enterprise. The Democracy of the North are still strong in their expectations of carrying their ticket through successfully. Both parties are multiplying' efforts for each others defeat, as the decisive day draws nigh. Speeches are made, victories, real and assumed, are glorified or derided, meetings, processions and all the old par aphernalia of party is brought out tor a great airing. . The' city council of Columbus, Ga , has passed resolution providing that any member of the council who shall attend any of its meetings while in a state of in toxicution, shall be fined fifty dollars for. the first offense, and for the second shall be expelled." T.iE PROGRESS OF SUB.J LIGATION. The full of Vicksburg is undone. The Mississippi has been once more sealed to the upcountry merchantman. Confede rate guiis sink, burn and destroy, along t-?3 hue 'jof'the FatheJ of Waters aud the declaration by the Ooristitutioa of the Confederacy, of the freedom of its navi Ration, has been annulled, vid et armies, by hore, foot ' and artillery And the conquest of the Sguth. ye. men of the West, goes bravely on ! " : , Texas has been abandoned The Rio Grande has been opened for supplies of Confwdtfratc material. Matamoras is a point ef entry. for Southern cotton,' and a banking house charged with unlimited transaciious in Southern gold;! Thus, ye war advocates of these broad States of the NorthA are the supplied of the Con-j federates beiug cut off, aiid their credit crippled by exclusion from the markets of the world 1 v - The Louisiana ot the Abolitionists, was a broad State. White- its riches w-ire nu- L garnered bywanize6T robbery, ;Like a sucked orange, now that its 'loot' has been transferred to Black Republican pockets, it has collapsed. A ring fence of pickets hedges in the jurisdiction of Mr. Hahu, within a narrow circle around j New Or leans, and he has fallen from his high es tate, below the level of the ambition of SaDcho Panza, since his dominions have ceased to embrace Itho 'governorship of even Barataria. : x Staud Wattie lords it with his Indi ans, on the Western border. The land of the Creeks and the Cherokees arc once mete under the protection of his braves, and he holds sway so far upward toward Kansas to give law probably at thisj mo ment from Fort Gibson I ! General Steele sleeps at Little Rock. He is as iuoffeusive as a Quaker gun. His army appears to. be as - mythical ' as Sir John Falstaffs men in buckram. Price moves up one sido into Missouri, and Shelby, Marmaduke and Fagan, had al ready preceded him on the other within seventy, or eighty miles of St. , Louis.- Aud thus, ye hopeful advocates of subjuga tion, does the work of conquest progress beyond the Mississippi. Western Tennessee the work of subju gation has compelled us to surrender. The recruiting ground and storehouse thus opened, has given, and .fed an army for Forrest. The Memphis and ; Charleston Railroad has been- surrendered Meni- phis has been lately plundered by a few Confederate hor emen ;? Yicksburg has reiently. been tnreateued "by a gathering at Jackson ; and the .sovereignty of the Confederacy stands unch ilfenged'through out almost the length and breadth of the" great -producing region of the Mississippi. Forrest is in Middle Tennessee, .Kill ing, capturing, plundering, and not at. a d C .valryaien of the regular army of the Con e e acy, guerrillas bushwhackers, and all description of evil doers, disturb Federal domiuion in the fair State of Ken tucky. And thus, you believing impe rialists, progresses between the Tennessee and the Ohio, the igh y democratic busi ness of armed r prestH. ; " Sherman is in Atlanta. The ' gallamt fellow seems to have been less puzzled as to the mode of taking it, than he is now by the question of what to do with it. One advantage that the war-makers have gaiued by it, is the comforting assu rance that he sees, from witbtlats earth works a business of conquest which he says must go on, for many years The great guns fired and the powder burned for the fall of that den of misery and blood,' what baS Wen acomplished. aside from executiveclaptrap. by this foolisli huntiug of ignis fatuus of Southern sub jugation into the jaws of the t cannon of Atlanta. ?

The Lieutenant General, however, still languishes with his shattered army under the tide wa'er fever "of Virginia. He is monarch of at out one hun jred square miles of Virgir.ia sgi! for which, hoWever, he has recen ly ac knowlddged his vassalage to the ex. ent of a CGiuncution of twenty-five huodred fat bullocks. All around the coast of the Confederate States the Federalts hold positions vtry uvorame lor tuning our men oy pesti lence. Ail these, however, are of no use to the work of war, save only so tar as they illustrate its barbarities by shelling a city, burning some houses, aud t'right euiog pooi women out of tbeir wits.
