were in the neighbOrhOod of Stevenson last Sat

were destroying large amounts Of stores, bag

From a gentleman Just from Altsmont fifty
miles northwest of Chattanooga, we learn that
a brigade Of BueI's forces took possession OF
that place last Friday. They came upon Alta
mont SO unexpectedly, that he and the other
loyal inhabitants had but fifteen minutes 10
which to make their escape from capture as
they avOwed the intention OF taking every se-

Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1862-09-02

A romantic story is told by one Of our citizens,
(says the LynehbuTg BTgiHiaH, Just returned
from the army, Of the truth Of which, in the
main, we have no doubt lie says thst the
division commanded by General Longstreet was
pushing for point which it was known the
enemy desired to reach and occupy. As the
long column was pressing forward, courier,
pretending to have orders from General Lee
halted each brigade until be reached the last
when Longstreet, observing the movement de-
sired to know what it meant. He was told that
General Lee had ordered the halt, and upon de-
mauding to know the authority for the order
from General Lee, was pointed to the courier,
who had net time to make his escape. The man
was Immediately arrested by L0ngstreet, who
frustrated his designs. He was examined snd
condemned on the spot Forged orders to both
Jackson and Hill were found on his person.
those for Longstreet having been Delivered
and he acknow lodged that he had been acting as
Confederate scout for eleven months, and ali
that time was traitor and a spy He was then
condemned and executed IN about fifteen min
utes. Another part Of the story Is, that this spy
Overhauled regular courier rom General Lee,
shot him, took his dispatches and by that means
learned she purposes Of our commander, ald set
about frustrating them.
The gentleman from whom the information
comes, vouehes for so much Of the story as re-
lstss to the hanging of the spy by the order Of
LOngsueet, having seen his body. Let this>be q
warning to traitors, from y hom We hgYe suffered
much in that country.
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1862-09-02

EIissi ssippi has furnished f0rty-fsur regiments
of infantry, eight of cavalry, and more than
two regiments of artillery, for this war By the
cO1scuption law, infantry regiments Insst num-
bet 1925 men ; cavalry not less than 1000, and
artillery at least ?OO. The number Of field
pieces we have in the service is l25. In this
enumeration partisan rangers and militia are not
included, because they are Irregular.
From this data we sum Up tnat our State has
over $4,000 men in the f3ld and in camps Of in
sIuction, engaged in the contest for freedom
and fame.
When we consider that The voting population
Of the State IS only So. 900, and that the white
population is not over half q million, the patri-
otism Of our people appesrs in truly brilliant
coloCs. We have not furnished any great gen
erals it is true, but our great President IS from
Mississippi; aud we notice that no matter where
Mississippi regiments have been engaged, they
! have fought like tigers, and won r#perishable
renOwn.
1t is a well known fact that the enemy re
gard the Mississippi troops as furious devils in
battle, and have never claimed that they had
any SO Union friends +" in this State.
There Is yet another class in our Stale who
have offered everything upon the shrine Of lib
| erty. Need We say that we slude to tho women
of Mississippi They nave encouraged the
men engaged in the conflict with language and
/ deeds as eloquent rs did tho Queen Mother OF
| the GTacchi.
Even our slaves despise the Yankees, and
| when told of their depTeda;i0ns upon private
| property, ask their masters why they don't 20
aud whip the rsscal5 out of the State
So far as Mississippi is concerned, the Yam
KEGS viii have bitter and Unrelenling foes to
| fight for one hundred years, if they choose to
| continue the contest so long. 1t is a rugged
sell, and the adsge is very old, that 90 the SONS
OF a rugged soil are able and always willing to
| defend it."
| We speak more particularly Of Mississippi and
| the war, because we are more familiar with the
subject But at the same time candor constrains
us TO admit that other States OF the South are
