There had been considerable anxiety maniies-
ted by the prisoners ever since their capture as
to the disposition 10 be made OF re by The rebs,
convinced BY their conduct that they were un-
decided and much IN the same tx that the man
was that drew an elephant in the lottery. Ac-
cording 70 the then existing cartel wewere com
PEELED to cross our lines at or near Richmond or
Vicksburg, and it was not until the eve Of our
departure from Chattanooga that we learned
that we were destined FOR the later place via Mo-
bile. A train Of cattle cars was in readiness,
the locomotive shfieked, the bell rang the COM

beiouled BY manure, We went rolling into the
very heart Of Dixie.

Al Dalton, a. small town in North Georgia, we
ran down on a side track to await the arrival Of
the mail train, and while there the inhabitants
turned out en- masse to feast their eyes on the

clearly proved himself TO he Of Yankee origin
He was as are most renegades, very bitter in
denouncing the Lncolnites, and strutting up
and down the platform prompously, declared
to dumpy little women that hung on his arm,
that he would like to have charge Of that lot Of

About daylight on bright Sabbath morning,
(Jan. 4th) we entered Atlanta DISSEMINATING,
we formed in companies and marched into plaza
built barracks near the centre of the town to
be served with rations. AZ they were entirely
unprepared for us, we had to wait several hours
for the bakers to get the ratons in eating order.
Lounging around the building discovered an
unique literary curiosity tackled on an Office
door, which Icopied and herewith present:

During the forenoon the guards admitted a
number of persons who were intent on specula-
ton or inquiry. Some of them were genuine
Union men, and here permit me to say that in all
my travels through the South never found
village, large or small, but it contained a few
earnest Unionists. From one of our visitors
gentleman of intelligence learned that there
was an extensive camp of instruction in or near
Atlanta. and that it contained nearly 1000 con-
scripts who were in a state of mutiny, having
been recently ordered to the front. On the day
previous number of influential citizens and
two regiments of cavalry had been out endeav-
oring to make them take the field, but all of
their persuasions and threats had thus far failed
to intimidate or induce them to fight against the
North. On the morrow still larger force was
to be sent against them, and my informant was

At noon our supplies were brought in and
while we We're eating, our ears were RECALLED with
a terrific din outside, in which we could distin-
guish the clatter of cars, the rush of feet, the
Changing of arms, and over all the squeal of ex-
cited ferninines. Shortly after the doors were
thrown open, revealing q double column of
guards extending from the barracks to the depot
and the whole tribe Of Atalanta's male and fe-

cheers, groans and yells. This demonstration
soon subsided, and in justice to the men i must
acknowledge that they afterwards refrained from
further jeers, but the women true to their in

wretches wholly lost to all the better feelings of
humanity and Godliness. WAD.
A war Democrat ON the Proclamation.
Senator Groesbeck, a war Democrat, made
