encourage them. Our casualties are small — very small — too small, indeed, to be recorded along with so complete and humiliating a defeat. Included among our losses are some of our best guns — perhaps as many as thirty or forty. The infantry supports in some instances fled so precipitately that there was no time left to remove the guns. There were but few roads down the mountain by which they could retreat, and this occasioned further loss. All the artillery behaved well. The men in Cobb's battery stood their ground after their supports had fled, and though they lost their guns, they fought them to the last; and when they could use them no longer on account of the steepness of the descent, they buried hand grenades at the foe as he crawled up the mountain beneath the muzzles of the guns. The enemy's loss must have exceeded ours ten to one. Our dead and some of the wounded were left on the field. But it is late and bitter cold, and I must close.--We cross the <

From Gen. Bragg's army — our loss in Artillery. [from our own correspondent.] Dalton, Dec. 3. --All is quiet. The Federal cavalry reappeared at Ring gold a few moments last night, and passed towards Lafayette. The report about Colonel Hollenquist (Bragg's Chief of Artillery) deserting is without foundation. There is no purer officer in the army. Our loss in artillery in the late battle was thirty-eight pieces, lost from the following batteries: Ferguson, 4 guns; Howell's, 2; McCaut's, 2; Dent's, 5; Scott's, 3; Yates's, 3; Faler's 3, Garity's. 1; Oliver's, 1; Anderson's, 1; Slocumb's, 6; Cobb's, 4; Harris's, 2, Massenburg's, 4. Two siege guns were burnt at Chickamauga Station. The number does not equal that taken by us from the enemy at the battle of Chickamauga. Sallust.

and New Testaments, and the universal opinion of the Christian Fathers, when the consummation of all things approaches, they are to be restored to the truth and be again His chosen people, and unto them shall the fullness of the Gentiles come? We are thoroughly disgusted, in this era of universal speculation and extortion, with the slang of " Jew, Jew," ac cry akin to that of the practiced pickpocket, when be joins the hue and cry of "Stop Thief," to divert attention from himself. As Mr. Cobb justly remarked in a late speech in Georgia, "there are Yankees born in the South and Southerners born in the North, and a good many uncircumcised Jews among the Gentiles. " Whatever else the Jews have speculated in, and we do not believe they have speculated in anything more than the Gentiles, they have not speculated in flour or in any of the necessaries of life, an enormous crime which is perpetrated every day by men calling themselves Christians. They have contributed as liberally, bot

From Northern Virginia. Hamilton's Crossing, April 13. --A force of Yankees, estimated at one hundred, came to Falmouth to-day, capturing two wagons. A skirmish ensued between the Yankees and Capt. Savage's Provost Guard and a party of Cobb's Georgia Legion. The Yankees, after remaining one hour, retired, going up the Warrenton road.

Georgia Treasury notes. --This is the title bestowed upon the militia and civil officers called out by Gov. Brown, now in camp Georgia, near this city. The reason given for the title is, that as the Georgia reserves, under Maj. Gen. Cobb and Brig. Gens. Gartrell and Jackson, were called the "New Issue." and they are under the immediate command of Gov. Brown and Gen. Wayne, they ought to be styled the Georgia Treasury Notes, as it is well known that Georgia Treasury notes are above par. We visited Camp Georgia yesterday evening, and found over 2,000 of the finest looking men we have ever seen. Among them are several Captains of the 48th Georgia. Colonel R. J. Wilson, of the Richmond county militia, went out as Captain of the Georgia Tigers, and lost his left arm in Virginia. He is now at Camp Georgia, prepared, with his right, to avenge the loss of his left arm. We saw many who have "done the country some service." on the tented field, and who are minus a leg or arm, and, unfit

side, but at what point is as yet not exactly known to us. X. From the Southside. Nothing worthy of special note has recently occurred along our lines in Chesterfield county. There is apparently some movement going on among the Yankees, but what it portends has not yet been definitely ascertained. They have elevated their observatory on the Bermuda Hundred Peninsula to the height of over one hundred feet, and it now towers above the highest trees in its vicinity. It is situated on Cobb's farm, and commands a complete view of the surrounding country. A few days ago a piece of artillery was placed in a position to play upon this observatory, and, it is reported, succeeded in striking it once or twice, but before much damage could be done the enemy's batteries compelled a removal of the gun. On Monday a body of the enemy's cavalry made a sudden dash on the City Point road and captured two of our pickets. Graham's battery, being in position, opened upon them vigorously,

rom Atlanta to Macon. East Point is six miles west off the west Point road. The Macon and Western and the Atlanta and West Point Railroads form a junction at East Point, but trains of either company run into the heart of the city. At one place Peachtree creek runs within five miles of the city. At last accounts the enemy were all along this insignificant little branch. Fulton county is bounded on the east by DeKalb, on the south by Fayette, on the west by Campbell, and on the north by Cobb counties.--It is oddly shaped, for whilst its extreme length from north to south is thirty miles, its width from east to west is only ten. It is drained by the Chattahoochee and Peachtree creek on the north, and another little creek in the southwest, the name of which we have forgotten. The land is of the poorest red clay and very unproductive.--The surface of the country is generally flat, with here and there small ridges, and wholly uninviting to the utter of the soil. But in the vas
