without proper authority, caught within three miles of the railroad, should be immediately executed — that all citizens living within that distance of the railroad must move and their houses are to be burnt. The Confederacy has the following: Young McElreath in his trip visited the vicinity of Rome, Texas Valley, and other places in the enemy's lines. He reports that the enemy everywhere were committing great outrages upon the loyal inhabitants — especially was this the case with Blair's Seventeenth army corps, who were despoiling the farmers of their wheat and stock in every direction, and otherwise plundering and maltreating them. In the vicinity of Kingston, near Murchison's farm, which he visited, the inhabitants were being robbed of everything of value they possessed. Many of them had been hung up to limbs of trees in order to force them to give up what money or other valuables it was supposed they had concealed. Among them was Mr. Murchison himself, and an old neg
Johnston (search for this): article 3
From Sherman's rear. The Atlanta papers contain some intelligence from the rear of Sherman's army, brought to that city by our scouts. The intelligencer, says: A few days since a detachment of twenty-four men left Johnston's army for the purpose of breaking up a band of thirty desperadoes, composed of tones and Yankee soldiers, who were committing every species of depredation upon the families of Murray county. Mr. McGarrah says that on Monday last a portion of the detachment encoune Federals were shipping off the sick and wounded, and hospitals from that point towards Chattanooga, and all who had affiliated with the Yankees were selling off their personal effects.

The gentleman also states that, had Johnston remained three days longer at Kennesaw Mountain, Sherman would have retreated. The Federals admit that they have lost five to our one.

Among them was Mr. Murchison himself, and an old negro man, the property of Maj. Woolly, from whom the thieves thus extracted some $600. Maj. Woolly's house, in that vicinity, is now the headquarters for some of the Yankee officers, while Mr. Murchison's is used as a boarding house for others of them. During Mr. McElreath's short stay within the enemy's lines, raiding parties were visiting the principal farms to secure the wheat as the farmers got it out, and to seize what corn they had. All the stock that they came across they killed. Under this barbarous treatment our informant says that the spirit of our people there is as determined as ever before in its loyalty to the South.--The women especially exhibit no sign of yielding to the vandal foe; on the contrary, while they have to endure, they bid
