Agreed to. Also, a resolution instructing the Military Committee to inquire what legislation is necessary to secure the return to their commands of deserters from the infantry who have enlisted in the cavalry; and of flying by law the time for which soldiers shall be permitted to serve in the cavalry, and of providing that on the expiration of such period they shall be assigned to service in infantry, and their places supplied by these who have served a similar period in the infantry. Mr. Brown, of Miss., presented a resolution of the legislature of the State of Mississippi, in relation to the recent act of Congress suspending the privilege o

Federal Outrages at Rome, Ga. --We learn, says the Macon Telegraph, that the Federals deliberately murdered three prominent citizens of Rome, viz: E. T. Harden, postmaster of the city, Mr. Wise, a wealthy merchant, and Mr. Wardy an old gentleman, agent of the steamboat line upon the Consa. Worse still, they were guilty of most horrible out, rages upon respectable ladies. They gutted houses indiscriminately — destroyed furniture, plundered and stole, and kept up a carnival of license and spoliation during their stay in the place, and finally, are reported to have burnt all the finest houses in the town.
The Daily Dispatch: September 2, 1864., [Electronic resource], The railroad raid in Sherman's rear. (search)
The railroad raid in Sherman's rear. Our advices from Georgia would indicate that General Wheeler has made a decided impression on the roads in Sherman's rear. The blowing up of the tunnel at Tunnel Hill, near Dalton — which was the most irreparable damage he could have effect — seems to have been done. A clergyman, who was at Rome, Georgia, under sentence of exile to the North, could not go in consequence of the road above there being destroyed; and upon applying to the Yankee general commanding, he was informed that Tunnel Hill had been blown up by our cavalry. The prisoners and deserters who are brought in at Atlanta tell different stories of how Sherman is affected by this raid. Two deserters brought in on the 24th said they were drafted at Dayton, Ohio, recently, and sent forward to Chattanooga--one of them in irons; that they left Chattanooga on Monday last, with five train loads of troops for Sherman's front, and that the whole body of reinforcements passed through wi

From Georgia — Wheeler's operations. Macon, September 6. --The situation at the front is not materially changed. The enemy are reported advancing, but this is not credited. An officer from Rome, Georgia, reports that the tunnel at Tunnel Hill was blown up by Wheeler several days ago. The last heard from Wheeler at General Hood's headquarters, he was between Chattanooga and Murfreesboro'.

t St. Joseph for the safety of the place. The Latest from Georgia. A letter in the Herald, dated at Chattanooga on the 15th instant, gives the following state of affairs in Georgia: The theatre of war has been transferred to Whitfield, Walker and Dade counties, the northern border of the State. It has at length been definitely settled that a large force of rebel infantry is operating in those counties. Hitherto it has been thought that cavalry only were so far from home. Rome, Georgia, was abandoned, and is now used as a rebel base of supplies, which are brought there on the Coosa river. Resaca has been attacked by a party traveling northward; the road torn up again near Tilton; Dalton captured; Ringgold, Tunnel Hill and Cleveland evacuated, and a concentration of Union forces has taken place here. Colonel Johnson, of the Forty-fourth United States colored troops, who garrisoned Dalton, surrendered to a vastly superior force night before last, seeing that resis

to hold none at all, but adjourn and report the offenders to the grand jury of your county for indictment and punishment.--This is the lawful mode of meeting unlawful attempts to disturb the freedom of elections. Miscellaneous. Hon. John L. Dawson and A. H. Coffroth (Democrats) turn out to be elected to Congress from Pennsylvania. The Abolitionists claimed to have carried these districts. General T. E. G. Ransom, commanding the Seventeenth corps of Sherman's army, died at Rome, Georgia, on the 30th. General Dix, commanding the Department of the East, has issued an order granting furloughs to soldiers in his department, unfit for field service, to go home to vote on the Presidential election. It is stated, with much positiveness, by the Washington letter-writers, that immediately after the Presidential election, Mr. Stanton is to go upon the bench of the Supreme Court; and Mr. Blair, late postmaster-general, is to have charge of the War Department portfolio.

atur to operate against Hood, while, with the remaining five corps of his army, he has moved to Atlanta, and is, in all probability, about to inaugurate an offensive campaign from that point; thus ignoring, for the time, the existence of Hood, or leaving him to prosecute his campaign into Tennessee at his leisure. The rebel accounts, which we publish in connection with other important matter, give interesting accounts of Hood previous to the battle. This correspondence is dated at Rome, Georgia, on the 30th ultimo. It says that it is understood that the Georgia militia is being gathered to attack Atlanta, and adds: Now, Sherman is averse to permit Hood to have the planning of his fall campaign; and so, day before yesterday, he broke up camp west of Rome, and while the — took up the line of march for Chattanooga, the — treaded southward for Atlanta, where they will arrive November 1 or 2. Sherman therefore ignores the existence of Hood's army to the extent of five h

movement is true; but that they may not expect too much, and, as a result, be disappointed when they should rejoice, it would be well to caution them. The object of the move is undoubtedly to force the war into the narrow area of the Atlantic States.--General Sherman's proposed campaign in the direction of the present march promised to be thwarted by Hood's movement to the North; and such, undoubtedly, was the hope of Jeff. Davis. A correspondent of the same paper, writing from Rome, Georgia, on the 12th, says: Yesterday afternoon the destruction of such buildings and property as might be of value to the rebels was commenced--General Corse, whose command was stationed at Rome, superintending the destruction, which was confined almost entirely to property of the rebel Government. The buildings destroyed were the rolling mills, "Government shops," stables and warehouses.--But few private houses were burned, and these were fired accidentally, the fire communicating

m. I suppose there are some people here and there who can be found to give ear to these stories, else they would not be so persistently put in circulation. But the motive for it, of course, the reader will bear in mind, is only to influence the gold market and in other ways to aid the speculative movements of the bulls and bears. The Burning of Rome, Georgia--Scenes at the conflagration. A correspondent of the New York Tribune writes that paper an account of the destruction of Rome, Georgia. He says: Owing to the great lack of railroad transportation, General Corse was obliged to destroy nearly a million of dollars worth of property, among which was a few thousand dollars worth of condemned and unserviceable Government stores. Nine rebel guns, captured at Rome by our troops, were burst, it being deemed unsafe to use them. One thousand bales of fine cotton, two flour mills, two rolling mills, two tanneries, one saw mill, an extensive foundry, several machine shops,
