Chronicle of the 10Th.
Among the many war rumors in our
streets this morning, is one that Griffin is
captured by the Yankees A. to the corr
rectness of the rumor, we have nothing to
say. The following is taken from the Au
gusta Sentin ell of the 10th:
We have this reliable news from up the
river. A gentleman who arrived on Thurs
dry evening from Stone Mountain, reports
that Yankee column noveing down the
Georgia Railroad, devided at Decatur, half
going down the Covington road, and the
other down the Rockbridgs road. At Stone
Mountain they burned all the unoccupied
houses, some two>thirds Of the. town, and
were laying waste the country as they pro-
crossed. They march in a hollow square
with their trains in the centre. They
united at Bakers Mill, near Covington, and
it is not known as yet whether they will
strike for Eatontown or Athens. This
gentleman says that the view from the
summit of Stone Mountain of the confagra.
ton of Atlanta was awful beyond descrip-
ton. The Gate city looked like An ocean
of fame as the fiery waves rose and fell
throughout its whole extent. Passengers
by the Georgia railroad last night, report
that about one hundred Yankee cavalry
made their appearance at School Circle on
Thursday and burned the railroad plat
form. 49,
1t is not believed that they have come
down any further than the circle. Their in'
tantry encamped at or near Old Sheffield
on Wednesday night. 1t is also reported
that the Yankees have burned Monticello
and Hillsboro, which, if true, clearly indi
Gates that they design tapping the Central
railroad, at Gordon, or SOME other point
Passenger trains on the Georgia railroad
Yesterday, only came from Union point.
The Macon Telegraph Of Friday says
the city on that day was considerably ex-
cited, ewing to various reports in regard tc
the enemy, who are known to be positively
marching on the city. 49,.
Gen. Cobb has issued On order calling out
every man capable of bearing arms, and al
who do not respond, he has ordered to b.
arrested. The Telegraph further says: There
is no doubt that the military authorize,
will do everything in their power to stay
the advance Of the enemy, and we trust
they will receive the cordial support of the
entire community. We refrain from giving
any information concerning the movements
or the number of our forces.
The Macon telegraph speaks thus of mat.
tiers at the front: owe have reliable in
formation to the effect that the Yankees
are advancing from Atlanta in this direction
in two columns, one on the McDonougf
road, and the other by way of Jonesboro
Our forces are at Griffin. More than thi,
we deem it at present imprudent to state.
An agent who left Forsythe on the 18th
inst. at three o'clock, informs US that ,
courier arrived at that place about half ~
bour before he left and reported some Y an
kee cavalry eight miles south of the town
All the bridges on the road from Forsyth'
to Indian Springs were burned by our for
ces. The Intelligencer publishescthe an
nexed news about affairs. The latest reli
