The President's speech to the army. Atlanta, Oct. 23. --The truthfulness of the reports of the President's speech, on the 13th inst., in camp before Chattanooga, having been questioned in the press, I have required of the reporter his authority for the language of the report transmitted. Mr. F. Woodson replies from Mission Ridge in these words: "I did not hear the speech of the President referred to, as I was en route for this place at the time. Col. McKinstry, Col. Walters, and Capt. Reed, of Gen. Bragg's staff, gave me the speech 34 reported. Numerous gentlemen also told me the same." J. S. Thrasher, Sup't.
im. He was not long in falling into the hands of two of them, who started with him to the office of the Provost Marshal. Fearing that he would be arrested, and having no other arms, he had provided himself with two rocks of pretty heavy calibre, and watching his opportunity, with these he knocked down both the detectives and fled. He next morning found himself making a straight line for the Potomac, which he reached with the assistance and direction of a good Southern man. His troubles did not end here, however, as he had to pass through the enemy's lines on the Virginia side. This he succeeded in doing safely, and a few days ago reported at Major Gilmore's camp in the Valley. The parties who attempted to escape with Capt. B. were a gentleman named Reed, formerly of Baltimore, and a Mr. George Shearer, of Winchester. Capt. B. does not think that either of them were injured by the firing of the guard, but is satisfied both were recaptured. They belonged to Gilmore's command.
ing Confederate raid — capture of a New York steamer — she is Run off. They are having a terrible excitement in New York. The steamer Chesapeake, Capt. Willetts, which left New York Saturday evening for Portland, Me., was captured twenty miles North of Cape Cod Monday morning, about 1 o'clock, by Confederates in disguise, who had taken passage on her. She is a splendid steamer of 460 tons burthen, and carries two guns. She is very fast, and is the same vessel that chased and captured Lt. Reed, of the Tacony, who had captured the revenue cutter Cushing. A telegram from St. Johns, N. B., says: The steamer Chesapeake, Capt. Willetts, from New York for Portland, Me., was taken possession of on Sunday morning last, between 1 and 2 o'clk, by sixteen rebel passengers. The second engineer of the steamer was shot dead and his body thrown overboard. The first engineer was shot in the chin, but was retained on board. The first mate was badly wounded in the groin.

Mr. Yulee's brought $200, and was purchased by the Colonel of the 11th Maine. Mrs. Mendenhall's was bought at $101 by a negro woman named Rachael, belonging to Mrs. Crichton, of St. Mary's. Dr. Lesesne's was bought at $60 by a Mrs. Call, a baker, from Jacksonville. Col. Conchman's was purchased at $200, and is occupied by Commissioner Reed. The brick block containing Savage and Wilson's stores was purchased by Robinson, of Jacksonville, for the sum of $400. A letter from Fernandina says: The town would scarcely be recognized by any of its former citizens. Most of the fences have been used for fuel, the weather-boarding of the unoccupied buildings has shared the same fate, while the shattered windows and doors and broken plastering tell a mournful rate of ruin and wanton destruction. The flower gardens are barren

s of the ship, with silver knives and forks. Think of that, ye hungry landsmen! Capt Moffitt, the former commander of the Florida, is now in a Confederate port, in command of a steamer owned by the state of Georgia, one of the fastest vessels afloat, and in every way adapted to the purposes of a blockade runner. Lt. Maniganit Morris, of this State, is now in command of the Florida. The total number of prizes captured and burned by the ship is twenty-eight. Her leader, the Taconcy, Lieut Reed, commanding, took 21 before being burned off the harbor of Portland, Maine Half of the value of each of these prizes is distributed among the officers and crew of the captor.--The other half is placed to the account of the Confederate Government. Every man on board is, therefore, "well to do" in the world. The armament of the Florida has not been attered since she first went into commission, and consists of a 120 pound Blakely rifle gun amid ships — same metal on the bow, and six bro

er get out of here; " upon which a fist and skull fight commenced between one of the soldiers and one of the citizens. A man by the name of Sanford was fighting with a soldier, and had knocked him back, very nearly down, when a man by the name of Reed started up to where they were fighting, and at the same time commenced drawing his revolver, which hung in the scabbard. Another soldier, seeing this, drew his revolver and shot Reed through the heart, from which he died in a few minutes.--SeveraReed through the heart, from which he died in a few minutes.--Several volleys were then exchanged between the citizens and soldiers, resulting in wounding Sanford in the arm and thigh. None of the soldiers, were hurt. These are the facts as near as I can learn them. So soon as it was known that a disturbance had occurred, the military was at once called out and order again restored. None of the soldiers on duty were in the difficulty — but some soldiers that were at home on furlough. P. S.--Since writing the above, I understand that Sanford admits t
. At dress-parade, on Sunday last, a Virginia regiment, which had inscribed on its battle-flag the names of our earliest battles, turned out eleven hundred muskets, and one of our smallest divisions numbered seven thousand effective men. Naval exchange. The officers and men of the Confederate States navy, who have lately been sent South for exchange, but who were detained by Butler at City Point, were expected to arrive in this city last night. Among them are the gallant Lieutenant-Commanding Reed, of the memorable little privateer Tacony, who was capture while trying to carry a captured steamer out of Portland (Maine) harbor. He has been a prisoner nearly two years. Affairs in East Tennessee. The enemy which so recently threatened Bristol are now fifteen miles below Greenville, Tennessee, and have taken refuge and Bull's gap. General Vaughan, when he defeated them at Greenville on Wednesday, took thirty prisoners. Our loss was only two killed. One of them was Col
