"LIxUT. Col. WALL. The Military
Commission, in their report in the Clag-
EFT case. say that Lieut.. Col. Vial, the
Governors Aid, had control of the cannon
which caused Clagett 90 much annoy
ance.
While it is quite true that Col. Wall is
in the eye Of the law the custodian Of the
State artillery at this post, it would be q
mistake. tending to do him injus tice, To
presume that be exercised any actual con-
troll Of the cannon on the evening in quss-
tion. It was 10 the hands of the gun
squad, and he was not with them.
~We commend the report of the
Military Commission and the order Of
ZEN. Roberts in the premises to the at
tention of our readers. The General, in
declaring the innocence Of the accused
very broadly hints the perjury of the &C.

The Northern soldier will march south
ward from Chattanooga as a child marches
into fairy land. The surface of the coun-
try is SO entirely different from this we
live in that every mile will be regarded
with interest. The hills are covered with
eVergreeRs, and caves abound of exouis-
ite beauty. The water Of the streams is as
clear as crystal, and mineral springs of
highly medicinal properties are improved
/ for public use in hundreds of localities
The Allegheny Mountains here dwindle to
mere hills, in ranges running to the South
west-Lookout follows the western border
Of Walker county, and on either side are
TaylOr's Ridge, Johns Pigeon, and White
Oak Mountains, while Pea Vine Ridge and
CraWfsh Ridge are noted localities. In
Murray county the Chattanooga Ridge is
about the only mountains worthy a name,
though the Cohuttah Mountains are in that
region.
This country abounds in minerals.
Gold is found in almost every well that is
dug, though often, Of course, in too small
quantities to pay for working it out.
Lead, silver, zinc, hydraulic lime spar,
and graphite are found in many localities.
In Lumpkin county gold mines have been
worked with much profit. DR.. Singleton's 8
mines, near Dahlonegs, have been found
very prottable-en one stream more thsn
10000 peennyweights of gold has been
found. Some Of the sand from the streams
has been worked over several times with
profit. About 1880 immense deposits Of
gold were discovered, and 80 great wsa
the demand apOn Congress that a mint
was established at Dahlonega, which is
yet in operation. These hills abound,
also, in magnetic iron, native copper, an
timOny, ceysnite, rubies, asbestos, sui
phsts Of iron, quartz, granite and pyritea.
The climate Of this region is considered
the most healthy on the continent. 1t is
not probably, the place where the people
lave to be takeu away to expire when
their time comes" but it is not 5n uneom-
mon thing there to see people ninety years
Of age who can read without speotaoles
and ho enjoy daily horseback rides. The
peculiarities Of the soil and Of the forests
will be Of the greatest interest, and as our
army marches on through Georgia to Al
lanta, many soldier will consider if that
country is not more attractive that the
North, and question himself as to the pol
icy Of locating there after the war is over
Indeed this is no uncommon thing in the
Southern country. There are some places,
to be sure, that are net attractive and Of
fer no inducements, but there are few
counties Of the Southern States but that
will be engrsfted with Northern element
to aid in reorgsnizing order and State
Government, sand to infuse a new life
into the benumbed heart Of Southern So
ciety.

Senator Foote of Tennessee has been
leveling some heavy blows at the head of
JEFF. Davis, in the Confederate Congress.
The following is his denuneiatiOn of Davis
policy In regard to General Bragg:
But the result is known-Braeg was
not removed. That man Bragg has been
most odious to both the army aud the peo-
pie for more than q year, and the Presi-
dent must have known IL But he visited
the army and said there was no cause for
the complaints. l also visited the army,
continued Mr.. Foote, and l mingled with
the men, and addressed nearly every bri-
gsde in it-not however, upon Bragg, be-
cause l would not for the world have sown
any discomfort. But I found the whole
army distrustful Of him. One thing is
certain, he has driven away the skilled
and gallant Polk he has forced the
ble-hearted Buckner to leave him; he
has ealumnisted Breckinridge, and victim
izsd MoCoHn. Every body knows he is
on bad terms with Hsrdee. He is SO con-
stituted that he can not agree with any of
his commanders. What is more, one Of
my colleagues has received letter from
Bragg himself, in which he said, only five
weeks ago, that he could not command that
army effectively unless he was clear Of,
unless there we're csshiered, twelve Brigs-
der Generals and 3 whole regiment OF
field officers. President Davis was appeal.
ed to by nearly every officer there for his
removal. But he stood up for Bragg; he
had committed himself to tht country be
had expressed his opinion publicly, Of
Bragg's eminent fitness for the command,
and was determined to risk the safety Of
the country upon it. For the same reason,
and under the same circumstances, Penn
berton was retained. That was the sole
reason Of the fall Of Vieksburg.

ABILENE is beautifully situated on email
stream of clear running water, one mile north
of the Smoky Hill River. near the geographical
centre of Dickinson county, and on the great
thoroughfare from the Missouri River to the
Gold Regions, New Mexico, and California 1t
is the only town between Junction City and
Sal;na, and is located midway-being twenty
FIVE miles from each. The country around
ABILENE is the most fertile and beautiful that
can be found in the State-its character being
an intermixture of timber ard prairie, pecu-
larly adapted to agricultural purposes. The
fertility of the soil, the excellence Of the water,
the healthfulness of the location, and the abun-
dance of timber and building stone, are induce
merits of no ordinary character; while in
addition, the rich mineral resources OF this
portion of the State, the Salt Springs, and
extensive Coal Fields west Of US on the Smoky
Hill, insuring the early completion Of Rail
Road from the Missouri River, makes it one OF
the best natural business points in the State.
The town was laid out six months ago, since
which time over one hundred lots have been
sold, and it now contains a store, blacksmith
shop hotel, Post Office, and several families.
