FROM GEN. LONcsTREET

The retreat of Genl. Bragg, it has
been applehended, would compel Gen.
Longstreet TO raise the siege of Knox
vile, and withdraw to Virginia. The en-
envy express the hope of cutting him off
and capturing his command. Then
in reference to him is very contradictory.
A despatch from Atlanta dated Dc. 4th
says that he made an unsuccessful as
sault on Sunday, the 29th ult., a after
that commenced his withdrawal toward
Virginia. We have learned, however,
to receive all dispatches from that point
with man, grains of allowance. A des-
patch from Bristol of the same date
says that tie siegeis progressing and
the cannonading very heavy. The
Richmond papers state that the War
Department received official information
from Gen. Longstreet in front of Knox
vile on th, End, Wednesday last Gen.
Bus rod johnson has succeeded in eff
fecting a junction with Gen. Longstreet.
The enems. are sending forces from the
North as we'll as from Chattanooga to
intercept aud capture Longstreet. They
will catch a Tartar, and regret that
they ever attempted to lay their unwor-
thy hands upon him. If they ever
come witbil striking distance of him,
''Some body will get hurt"

FOR TIE SPECTATOR.

Mr.. ). IToR Since the organization of the
home guard in Augusta, we have the strongest
evidence of necessity of a stringent militia III
yet presented since the beginning Of the war
In every neighborhood, whilst their companies
were forming, and the bill was pending in the
Legislature, there was an APPARENT interest ta-
ken in the movement by large class, that aba
ted instantly, the bill was lost, and, in many in
stances, they did not hesitate to say so in words,
as, before that time, they had in their conduct,
that they did not care to trouble themselves to
muster, as they were not now COMPELLED to do
so. They even jeered at and tainted those more
patriotic than themselves. Yvu can select large
districts in the county where this NON PATRIOTIC
spirit seems to exist 1Ldaed you will hear per-
sons boldly declare that in some nejghborheods
you will find the feeling seems to be confined
to certain churches. And this view of the case
gains strength, when You lind that there are some
among us, and the number is LARGE, that do not
say one word OF encouragement in their church,
es either in the pulpit, at the prayer meeting, or
on communion occasions, towards the proSeCu-
ton of the war. An intelligent gentleman said
to the writer of this a f-w days ago, that in his
|neighbohood where one Of these sects was nu
merous, it had become a common subject of re-
mark, ssTHAr NO ONE HAD EVER HEARD IN SER
MON OR A PRAYER, ONE SINGLE WORD OF sYMpA-
THY OR ENCOURAGEMENT FROM ANY ONE, FROM THE
HIGHEST TO THE LOWEST OF ONE OF THE sECTs OF
THE COUNTRY If they have had a chaplain in
the service any where, or for day in the South,
the writer does not know it, and would gladly
give them credit if he did. At communion SER
vice year or more ago, where several OF their
preachers were present, gentleman who had
been attending the meeting prepared a respect
ful request in writing, asking the prayers of the
clergy present upon our struggle for all that
treemen hold DEAR and laid it on the h.h' in tho
pn.pi'' ps4o oefvice. No NOTICE WAS TAKEN
OF 1t whatever, and no word invoking the strength
of him, without whose aid We fight III vain, was
uttered during the meeting. This too in the
presence Of many of their hearers, not members
Of their church, whose sons aud brothers were
then periing their lives, aud many writhing in
pain, from "ounds received in battling for the
rights and liberties of this people. Is it strange
Mr.. Editor that such course on their part will
make them amenabie to criticism ? Much more
could be said on this subject, but enough has
tfanspired to convince ALL that the Legislature
must pass stringent militia bill and impose
heavy penalties to make all whe ought TO be

HORSE THIEVES.

The number of horses which have
been stolen recently in this and the adj
joining Counties shows that there must
be great number of horse-thieves, or
else that, if few in nu .nber, they are SO
very successful as to show that t tiiiey
must be organized into band and con-
duct their nefarious business uron sys-
tenn. The number of advertisements
of horses stolen is truly astonishing, and
something should be done to check it if
possible. Every citizen should consid-
er himself specially appointed a detec-
tive, and should notice the advertise
ments carefully, that they may iemem-
Der the descriptions of the horses stolen,
and should carefully watch and interro
gate thoroughly every one, particularly
strangers, who offer horses for sale. Ii
a stranger offer a horse for sale upon
what would be considered very cheap
terms, it should be considered prinaaf ia
cse evidence that he is trying to sell a
stolen horse. Watch closely the sellers
and traders of horses.

T. HENRY HINES, Capt. G. S. A
A nronosi,ion has been introduced in

A proposition has been introduced in
the Legislature of South Ca DINA to
credit the 'ssequestration" fund with
the amount of the bank circulation OF
the State now heli il the North. It is
notorious that the bulk of the bank cir
culation of the Confederacy has passed
into the hands our enemy by the ttaffic
of the blockade-runners, and is fairly
the subject OF confiscatioa. Such law
as proposed might, no doubt, be evaded
to considerable exteut by fraudulent
transfer; but by requiring each bank
to call in ifs issues for registration, and
an oath to be taken by every party reg
istering that the bills have not been
brought from the North, to his knowl
edge, within any certain period, some
check would be given to fraud, and at
least some reprisal be made upon the en-
emy E!ennzSneT.
