On Thursday morning at O'Clock the enemy
made an attempt to cross the Potomac with body
of Infantry, between Dam No. 3 and Cherry Run.
Our pickles wore driven in, but for cause, best
known to himself, the enemy desisted from what
seemed 10 have been his original intention, and fell

Numerous reports were received at headquarters,
representing the enemy to be drawing body Of in

Gen. Lee,

This distinguished officer has been APP.
pointed Commander-in-Chief under the
recent act passed by the Confederate Con-
gress. The Richmond Dispatch says of the
appointment:
That the communicable of the whole
army is now placed in the hands of a
military leader, is of itself a subject of
profound congratulation. The Federal
Government, from the beginning, has had
but one military head, and he of course
an educated soldier. We rejoice that the
South is about to adopt the same common
sense course, and to Lave at the head of
all her military operations one man, and
he man trained in camp and accustom-
ed from his youth up to the science and
practice of war.

From Paris.

Our latest intelligence from Paris is
that the town was not occupied by the
Federals. After passing through the vii
lage on Wednesday and engaging in the
skirmish with Major Kings command,
who were encamped in the vicinity, they
retreated back to the mouth of the San
dy. The Confederate pickets, it is assert
ed, were in Paris on Thursday.
The Federal force engaged in the fight
was estimated at FIVE hundred cavalry,
and one piece of artillery, Major Kings
force, after the retreat of two companies
was one hundred and fifty. Two of the
latter were killed, apd eight wounded
The Federal loss Supposed to be about
thirty, killed and wounded.
The companies that retreated were
commanded by Capt. Stocks-independ-
ent-and Capt McCutchen, Of Col. Brew
er's battalion. The order to retreat was
given upon the officers being informed
by scouts, that they were about TO be at
tackled by four infantry regiments imme-
diNtely, which report proved Incorrect
there being no infantry in the vicinity.
The Federal forces were piloted through
the country by an individual named
George Warner, who has recently been
doing business in Paris, and iswell known
in this city. As the reward Of his treach-
ely TO his neighbors, he was at once ar
rested upon the departure Of bis aboli-
ton friends and sent to headquarters at
jackson in irons. He should speedily
DO made to suffer the fate usually award
ed TO traitors.

A Panh andleman's View.

There is bill before Old Abe's Con-
gress to FRI 3 the negroes, send them out
of the country, and COLOMBO them. A
few days ago it was up in the Senate for
discussion.
Mr.. Pomery, of Kansas, objected to
colonizing them. He thought the coun.
try could not afford to lose these labor
ers and producers" He favored scheme
to send out of the country and COLOMBO
The shareholders, WHO are dangerous to the
country and whose loss would not be felt
Mr.. Wiley from the Panhandle o.
Va said there was no constitutions
power for the President to co.orize ne
groes. He was willing to cooperate in
the most stringent measure to contiscatt
the property of the rebels, but it would
cost $500 head to COLOMBO the negroes
Mr.. Pomeroy said his bill would meet
that matter, as there were only few O.
the shareholders, and it would not cost
much.
Mr. Wiley said ~ propoic to hang al
such traitors, and thus save aNthe expense o

A Model Speech by Gen. Bragg.

While on his way to jackson, Tenn,
the othei< day, to take command of the
Confederate forces, Gen. BRAGG made the
following brief, pithy and sensible speech
at Meridian, Miss, 7-
Fgiov. CiaaeFs' In deference 10 your re-
peated eails, iarleaT only TO sse and ID
seen, and to Nender you my thanks for
your kindness.
This is time for acts, not words. Ex-
perience has taught me, too, that every
man should stick to his trade. In many
efforts, believe never made but one
successful speech-and that was in few
words, when | courted my wiie-the re-
suit being due less to any merit either in
the speech or speaker than to an unfor-
tunate habit with young ladies of decid.
ing more from impulse than reason, by
which, as in my case, they are too apt to
be unfortunate. Ponder well, then, my
fellow-citizens, this piece of advice: never
call on an old soldier for speeches; and,
if you will pardon me the liberty, will
add, never send politicians to command
your armies. From that time our cause
will prosper.

Hon Andrew Johnson,

We have it from reliable source that
Andy johnson is at Nashville in the ca
pacity of Military Governor, and that he
has issued a proclamation to the people
in which there is the usual amount of
oily CANNON, demogogueism and hypoc-
risy. He says he comes with the Con
stitution in one hand and the olive branch
in the other" inviting the people to re-
turn to Their loyalty; but in concluding
the precious document, gives the lie to
these professions by declaring that Union
men must be protected and the rebels
hung. 1t is also stated that the atmos-
phere of Nashville, is proving fatal to
Federal soldiers, numbers of them dying
suddenly and in a violent manner. 1t
may turn out that unless Governor john
son sticks close to the gunboats, the arm
OF some ayehgihg Brutus will even reach
/ him.

The Virginia.

The Virginia or Norfolk Turtle" as
the Merrimac is called, has given a splen-
did account of herself. Her appearance
on the water is said to be very singular,
the surface she presents above water be-
ing not greater than that of an ordinary
canal boat. No spars, no masts, no up
per works of any kind are visible. She
was RACED from first class frigate, and
presents the appearance of an iron roof
on floating house. Her armament con-
s!sts of three heavy guns on each side,
and one at the bow and stern. We are
told that the iron cleaver in front is ca
pable of dividing Yankee ship into
two portions with great nicely and dis
patch. Altogether, the Norfolk Turtle
IS q very formidable ''instituiion," and
has commenced the smashing up of the
blockade in fine style.-Richmond Exam

The Lincolnpoops.

We learn that some Of the Lincolnpoops
about town question the authenticity OF
the extracts published last week in re-
gard TO Federal outrages in North western
Missouri, because the name o: the writer
was not made public. These fellows are
such inveterate and notorious liars them
selves, have lied and falsifed so much of
late, that it is impossible for them to re-
eognize or entertain thetruth in any form
or shape. The letter from which the ex-
tracts were taken was not intended for
publication but was simple nara
tive of facts, for the information OF the
relatives and friends of the parties who
were being outraged and deprecated up
ON. We youched for the credibility OF the
writer, and withheld the name because he
is living in reach of the vandal hordes,
and we knew there were parties here cap
able of conveying information to them in
order to have him punished.
But why should any one doubt the au-
thenticlty Of the statements? Such scenes
are being enacted within less than hun
drel miles of this place. 1t is only week
or two since that band Of depredators
visited the residence OF John X. Brown,
at Tulloss' Mills, Bledsoe county, for the
avowed purpose of murder and plumber.
Mr.. Brown was absent, at Chattanooga,
and, after stealing some meat, bed-cloth-
ing, and such other articles as they could
conveniently carry of, and threatening to
burn the house over Mrs. Browns head,

But we shall not pursue the matter fur
Their, than to repeat that the extracts
published last week were from an entirely
reliable source, and the outrages recorded
are fair type of what has occurred in
every region where the marauding follow
ers of Lincoln have taken possession.

/. From Florida.

From the Savannah papers OF day be-
fore yesterday we get several items.
The Nevs says the Emma" was Tired
upon by the federal batteries as she was
proceeding through st. Augustine's Creek,
but without effect.
Also, that the enemy attempted land
ing on Tuesday night, at Coffee Bluff, but
our pickets poured volley of musketry
into their boats, killing some and driving
them off. The Republican says they re-
turned at midnight and commenced an
attack. Firing on both sides kept up for
some tme-"nobody hurt" on our side
They went off again.
The Republican learns by q passenger
inst from Fernandina, Fla, that there are
5000 Federals in the place. He pretend
ed 10 be a Union man while there, and
heard the Federal officers say. that they
intended to burn Savannah and Charles
ton in less than thirty DAYS.

More Federal outrages.
We clip the following from Memphis

We clip the foiioWlnG rom Men'pliS
appeal, of the 18th:
Gentlemen from Columbus, lately citi-
zens of that place, who arrived in the city
Yesterday, advise us that the conduct of
the Federal forces, since they occupied
that point, has been Of the most tyran-
meal character.
Immediately, upon toking possession,
all the sugar, molasses, tobacco, ETC., in
the hands of the citizens, was seized. The
stock Of sugar. and molassas was large,
and the seizure was made for the benefit
5of the Federal treasury, as was announced
by Col. Buford, the commander. Some
stores of the same character that were
held by citizens of tue surrounding coun-
try, were also taken, and private property
and rights totally disregarded.
The declaration was publicly madethat
the expenses of the war must be paid by
the South, and that all the property Of
the Confederate States, so far as it should
come within their control, would be used
for that purpose. From this fact the PEG
pie of the South can pretty conclusively
determine to whatextent private property
will be respected by those who are endea-
Noring to subiugate US, should they sue
coed in whole or in part.

ton, lated the Cd inst, says: ''0ficisl in-
formation from Nashville TO the War
Department, represents that the military
work in that State is about finished and
il only remains TO effect civil re-organ-
iEation Of the State government" An
other dispatch of the 4;h, given below,
announces that a provisional military
government has been established for the
State:
Washington, March 4.-Hon. Andrew
johnson has formally been appointed
military Governor of Tennessee, with all
the powers, duties and functions pertain
ing TO that office, during the pleasure of
the President, or until the loyal inhabl.
tants of that State shall organize civil
government in accordance with the Con-
stitution of the United States. In order
to the exercise of these duties 1t be-
comes necessary, first, to give him mil
itary position, and hence the President
nominated him brigadief- general. His
appointment the Senate to-day confirm
ed.
The present government of Tennessee
being usurpation, every proper en-
couragement will. through the military
government, be given TO the loyal peo
pie to Sssime its control. The designa
ton of andrew johnson for. that posi-
ion is considered by everybody as emf
nently proper, both in view of his pecu
liar fitness for the Office and his grea
popularity among all loyal people, be
sides his devotion to his own State
The Governor, by the acceptance OF thu
office, necessarily vacates his position a
Senator. The term for which he wa

his purpose to take the actual conlirand
Of the army and suppress the rebellion in

Justly accorded to him. Whatever plan
of action upon the Potomac line'will be
finally adopted will undoubtedly be his.
The actual execution of 1t by the Presi-

Col. Ionathan NI cate.

Col. JONATHAN N. CATE, IL native OF this
county, but for several years resident
of Georgia, died at Savannah, on the
- instant. His remains reached here
on Friday morning last. We copy the
following tribute to his memory, from the
North Georgia Times, Of which he was at
one time the able and efficient editor:
DEATH OF Coon MAN,-The deepest
gloom pervades our town in consequence
of the death of Col. jonathan n. Cate,
one of its most esteemed and popular cit
igens.
His corpse arrived here on Wednes-
day night from Savannah, whittier he
had gone in good health and spirits, some
months past, as private under Capt.
Moore, for the purpose Of defending our
country from Northern invasion, ard
aiding as much as possible, individually,
the cause that interests so many hearts.
But he was not destined to battle long
for the rights Of his country. His life
was soon yielded a sacrifice to the cause
of liberty" This whs his remark when
dying, which 1t is said seemed to console
him much.
For bravery, goodness and purity of
heart, we believe he could rarely be sur
passed; and his highly intellectual abili-
ties and agreeable and affable qualities of
mind gave him unbounded popularity.
His death has occasioned void in our
political as well as social circle, which
cannot be easily filed. Bat such is war
The bravest, truest and best men it seems,
must fail before its devastating power,
and the brightest ornaments OF society,
with the cleaning star Of liberty before
them, 20 forth and their lives are yielded
sacrifice upon its bloodstained affairs.
Col. Cate, lin the language Of his Captain
to the Editor Of this paper,) fell not on
the field OF battle, amid :he roar of cam
non, the rattle of musketry and the clash
of steel; but he died none the less the
death of the hero and patriot"
We deeply sympathize with his wife
and two little sons, and as u tribute OF
respect to our departed friend, who was
once the able aud intelligent Editor OF
the North Georgia Times, we drape its coli
umns in mourning.
