ExcULPATIoN OF CAPT.; M'CoY.-rH
ESCAPE OF THE INDIANc.

EDITOR DIMooRAr.-Having seen Ger.
tain slanderous articles concerning Capt
Mccoy, I feel that sense Of duty to him
and tho reading public demands that
should wipe out these vile .spersions At
once. The facts in the case are briefly as
follows: -"
Eight Chippewa 1n1ians having been
captured, one Of them strongly protested
his innocence, assuring the Captain that
he knew who the depredators were, and
would speedily deliver them up to him il
temporarily released, Offering at the same
time an otter skin in pledge for his return.
The Captain refused positively to &C.
cept it until strongly urged by me, when
he finally consented. Now these are sub
s:antially the facts in the case, is they &C.
CURED under my own immediate observa-
ton, and if there is an, *merited censure
Ii, the affair, il falls justly up,n me.
would farther state that 1 an intimately
acquainted with Capt. Mccoy, both as a
man and military officer, and 1 am prepar-
ed. upqualifedly to affirm that he i. in ev-
cry respects perfect gentleman, snd there
fore be, would Indignantly scoto the per-
petration Of an act 90 mean AMI contempt
able as that with which he is charged. .:4
And - the escapeof the remaining cap
tives on Wednesday night last, has to
some extent become IN OCCASION Of spec.
ulation and gossip, aud lest some one sho'd
be disposed to cast unjust; oensure upon
tue commandant Of the post, because Of
their escape, I wish to say that had his Or
ders been strictly carried out, their escape
would have been prevented They pass,

SITUATION IN GEORGIA.

The Atlanta " Register" of the 2o.b, gives n
rather encouraging account of afsirs in the
front:
S ragclers from he front who reach the city.
briug Just such accounts AZ came from Shiloh.
and terrified the people of Mississippi beyond all
measure. It is said TINT one or two brigades on
our left acted very badly. and that they are now
scattered through the country 10 these fugi>
tives. we are indebted for many fearful stories.
People who have lived in the vicinity Of battle
field, know how to valne tho statements Of
those " no nm away, in order that they may live
to fight another day. The Grss men who left the
field ut Murfrsesboro excused their conduct bv de.
ciariEs that the army routed. Thus it has ever
been. and r1rst ever be TIL. people Of Atlanta
have yet 10 learn many lessons taught those less
fortunate heretofore than themselves We shall
never forget the wild accounts circulated by fu-
gitive from Fishing Creek, who ran hundred
miles intwcuty hours. and Eerer looked behind
him. lie induced the people OF Knoxville to be-
licvc that the Fcderals were Just in rear, and
that the whole country WAS LOST
The fac,s seem 10 be that while one wing Of
our army whipped the enemy driving them even
position, and hence there was no reason why
the army should remain in front of Chattanooga,
even had it been possible TO do so.
Grants army cannot leave Chattanooga. It
has not and cannot.get supplies to enabls it to
undertake campaign into the interior Of Geor-
.ai. Raids may threaten rs, but surely we can
rely upon Gov. Browns forces to rspel bodies IF
cavalry. 1t is rs probable that Bragg willmarcb
into East Tennessee, rs that he will retreat to
Atlanta. He had long ago, as We have seen it
stated, selected batting place whenever out,
numbered and outAanked at Chattanooga From
his dispatches to Gen. Cooper, it seams that he
has reached the position designated. The army
is not re.reating and will not, without the f.re-
est battle of the war. Such is our conviction.
From East Tennessee we have the rum that
5000 of Burnaide's men who had escaped from
Knoxville. were captured near Tazewell. TO
this extent, the story of the fall of Knoxville is
confirmed. The, stery given is brought by u
Tenuesseean Just through the liuss.
The Yankee loss on our right. in the engages
ment at Chattanooga on the 25th, is estimated
by our Generals at 90, 900 killed and wounded.
We captured six hundred prisoners. Brig.
Gen. Walthall is wounded, and his brigade badly
cut up.
