THE WAR I'm GEORGIA.

NASHVILLE, Oct. l8.-Hood's army has
destroyed the railroad for Is miles towards
Resaca, and also Little 6hanty and Altoo-
ma. .sH
The rebel commander demanded the
surrender Of Resaca, threatening death 70
every man If the demrnd was not complied
with. The commander, Col. Weaver, of
the 9th Ohio, refused to surrender. After
some brisk skirmishing the rebel forces
withdrew.
The enemy then advanced on Dalton,
which was surrendered without firing q
shot, being defended by Col. johnson, 7th
United States. who could have easily held
the town If 80 disposed.
The tunnel ct Tunnel Hill was unmo-
Tested, though the cars and buildings at
that station were destroyed.
From this point Hood went southwest
On The road he was confronted by the 18th
corps, under Gen. Stanley, at Snake Creek
zap. Severe fighting ensued, result not
Beauregard is reported as commandment
chief Of the army Of the Mississippi, Hood
being only commander Of this depart
ment.
sherman is watching every move Of his
antagonist, and important operations are
expected soon from that quarter.
dispatches this morning report Hood at
Somersville. No reinfOrcements have
reached him and his militia have nearly
all deserted him.
Prominent military men believe the reb-
81 move will result disastroasly to them.
a small rebel force is reported at Cedar
Hill near Springfield, under Holmes. a
guerrilla, and have opened recruiting
camp there.

CAMP OF THE 57TH PA. VET. Vols,
IN FRONT OF PETERSBURG, VA,
Oct. 8, 1854.
EDITOR HAwK-EyR-Sir: apa stran-
ger 70 you, but claim the Hawk-Eye State
for my homo, and I wish to let the people
Of that State know my sentiments, and not
only my sentiments, but the sentiments Of
the majority Of the Potomac army.
As the papers for some time past have
been flooded with campaign documents, 80
we have been led to look on both sides and
come to the conclusion that the party which
thrives upon our defeat will not do 70 tie
to. We think that il Old Abe can put
down the rebellion land it looks very much
like it now,) there is no use in changing
the Administration, and If he does put il
down and restore peace to our country, he
deserves another term for doing it; and,
moro than that, we are going 10 give it to
him.
As far as I can learn, Lincoln's majority
IN the. army Will be 80 overwhelming that
the Copperheads will forever curse the day
that gave the soldiers vote, and still more
bitterly condemn the measure which they
from the first SO bitterly opposed.
The soldiers will show the world that
they not only know how to fight Tor their
country, but that they know, too, who are
their country's friends, and how to vote for
them. A. III. MCCORMICK, III

DEAR HAwK-EYE.- Thinking you had
probably lost track Of as, I thought would
write you few lines to let You know where
we are, and what we are doing. We are
camped east OF town on q nice, elevated
ridge, on which stands Fort Granger.
Franklin 10 ~ nice little town a. have
seen since crossed the Ohio river, and the
most beautiful country surrounding ever
saw. Harpeth river runs between camp
and town, and is a nice little stream, but
too small for boats.
The principal part of our regiment has
gone in pursuit OF Forrest, and lave been
out for some time, and their Whereabouts
10 unknown to US. They took with them
about i've days ra.iors and expected to be
absent i've days understood. II they
meet the old dend Forest, they will give
gade has gone, which is composed of the
1st East Tennessee cavalry, I'd Michigan
cavalry, 4th Kentucky mounted infantry,
and all gone that were able and equipped,
s Lieut.. John G. Power, Of company y
and Lieut. Moreland, Of company NJ, got
to camp on Thursday last. They heartily
astonished us all, none Of rs knowing that
exchanged, are Col. Dorr, Captains Burns,
Morehiser, Moore, Waldin, Adj't Belneld,
Lieuts. Pritchard, q. NJ. Bennett, Ander-
son, Power, McCarron, Morelsnd, Detwi-
Ter, and fourteen non-coMmissioned off,

Of some belonging to company D, as SO:

]. Morris, O. Kirkham, r. Vance and J..
n. English, regiment saddler. These were
all the names I could acertain. The boys
are all gay and cheerful. The Lieutenant
said it was the general belief ;ha. all the
prisoners would soon beexchanged. Lieut..
Power says that there are no troops in the
interior OF the Confederacy, to amount 70
anything. The Confederacy is, therefore,
nothing but shell, and all that is wanting
is to break the shell, and up goes the much
boosted Confederacy.
We are looking for the boys who have
been exchanged now every day. They are
at Cartersville, Ga, about $50 miles distant
from here. Yours, with respect,

New Yoax. oct, 1s.-The Richmond
Wing Of the 18th says: The Petersburg
Express of yesterday says our army y
calmly awaiting the advance Of the enemy
on the right, fully prepared q receive MN
when such move is attempted. Inougn
no disposition is manifested 70 ATTACK our
position there since the late reconnaissance.
yet it is believed that the silence OF the last
few days is but the quiet that precedes az
outbreak. It il not unlikely that an A.
tempt will be made to flank our works. as
the enemy are satisfied of the futitty OF Az
attempts to take them by assault.
At the present moment, says the Express,
attention is called to the north side Of the
James river, where q heavy engagement
Grant has largely reinforced the forces al
ready there within the last two or three
nights, and it is not improbable that when
the lighting commences we shall have 1t al
both ends of the line. 3 ss
The Wing, referring to the destruction OF
rebel property in the Shenandoah Valley,
says: The fell work IS going on, by order
will sustain life in the valley.
There is one effectual way and the only
one that can be used tn arrest and prevent
this and every other sort Of atrocity, and
that il to burn one Of the chief cities Of the
enemy, say Boston, Philadelphia or Gin
clnnatl and let It's tate nang over Inc OH
ers as a warning of what may be done and
will be done to them if the present system
Of war on the part Of the enemy is contin-
ued. 1--we are asked how such thing can
be done our answer is, nothing would be
easier. A million dollars would lay the
proudest city Of the enemy in ashes. The
men to execute the work are already there.
There would be no difficulty in finding
them here or in Canada. Reliable persons
could take charge OF the enterprise, ar.
range details of 20 men with plans all
and means provided, select
ing some dry windy night fire Boston in q
hundred places and wrap it in flames from
centre to suburbs. They might retaliate
on Richmond; let them do so If they dare,
it ID q game at which we can beat them
New York is worth 20 RichmOnds they
have dozen towns to our one, and In
their towns b conferred nearly all their
wealth.
The EzGmimer takes to task the two
Southern Statesmen, lStevens and Boyce,
who have advocated the Inomentous prop
positions of a convention Of all the States,
and in q fine tone of ridicule depicts the
mighty convention with the South Caro-
lima delegates sitting cheek by jowl with
Banks, Summer, Everett, and Butler.

REBEL CANT.-The rebel Generals have

The war has been described as s'fratrici-

The PEACE THE MUsKET WILL GIvE.-
Gen. John Cochrane lifted his audience to
their feet n Philadelphia, and received an
ovation from them in response to his dec
laration that the peace the Rebels would
get from US would be that which the mus
ket gives to a conquered host. He said:
At Chicago there were gentlemen in the

modest, for the pressure was upon them
