being down
Hood made an assault on our works at
Columbia, on South Duck River, on Sat-

Some portion of the rebel cavalry sue

made no other development of his plans.
Thus far he has accomplished nothing fur.

There is no foundation for the rumor of
the evacuation of Johnsonville, except
proper preparation for possible contingent

to our authorities.
The impression gains ground that Hood

OF ROGER A. PRYOR.

New YORK, Nov 29.-The rebel ex-
General Roger A. Pryor, serving as pri-
vate soldier in the Confederate army, was
captured last Friday by our pickets, while
attempting an exchange of papers.
This was done in retaliation for the re-
cent capture Of Capt. Burbridge by the
rebel pickets. Pryor says Lee issued an
order for the return of Capt. Burbridge on
Saturday, and Pryor will probably be re-
turned as soon as Burbridge arrives.
Since Pryors capture, Burbridge has
been dismissed the army for disobedience
OF orders forbidding the exchange of pa
PETS or holding any intercourse whatever
with the enemy under any pretext. Pryor
is now in the Old Capitol prison.
New York, Nov. 29.-The Comn,er-
ciols Washington special says that Roger
A. Pryor has just been escorted along
Pennsylvania avenue under guard to the
Old Capitol prison. He wore a handsome
uniform of gray, and nodded Familiarity to
old acquaintance.

Our Prisoners Reported Joining the
Rebel Army.

From the Richmond Enquirer, Nov. 10.
On Sunday morning last two hundred
native Irishmen, who have been federal
prisoners in our hands for over twelve
months past, reached Augusta, from Flor
ence, S. O., a1d passed through on their
way to join Hoods army.
The above mentioned prisoners were re-
fused an exchange by the Yankee govern
ment in consequence of their time having
out, and feeling that they had not been
treated right by the said government, and
with view to revenge, took the oath of
allegiance to the Confederate States, and
were duly sworn into our army by Cath
Ole priest, at Florence, S. @.
Y They are all strong, hearty and robust
looking men, and are now on their way to
join the army of Tennessee. They have
expressed wish that they may he allowed
to join the gallant General Pat Cleburnes
corps, that general being native of their
own dear Ireland. They all swear VEN
geance against the enemy if they are ever
lucky enough to meet him in the tented
field.
The above parties represent that large
number of native born Yankees, whose
time was out, desired to take the same oath
and Join the Confederate States army, but
the authorities at Richmond refused them
this privilege.

ton Of sovereign states, North and
South, and he believed, the South
would have secured from it peace and in
dependence. If the South had met the
North in convention she would have pro-
posed leagne offensive and defensive
with the North for strict enforcement of
the Monroe doctrine; liberal commercial
treaty and we soon should have the whole
North American domain, and perhaps
Cuba. Referring to Gen. Buffers speech,
he said infamous as is Butler, his speech
looks to peace. Though the terms pro-
posed by him were such as could not be
accepted by the South, it referred to send
ing commissioners from Washington. II
such commissioners did come and bring
any proposition for peace, he believed it
was the duty of our government to receive
it, but he did not think Congress should
pass upon it, but that it should be submit
ted by several States for each one to de-
eide on it as sovereign. States.
After remarks by other members the
resolution was adopted. The House also
passed the Senate bill to force the militia
Of one State to 60 to the assistance of the
other States 80 as to constitute force
against the enemy.

The Burning of Rome, Georgia.

A letter from Kingston, Ga, under date
OF Nov. II, says:
Rome was evacuated at ten o'clock this
forenoon by our forces but not until the
Etowah House, a respectable three story
brick hotel was consumed by fire. Stray
glers managed to ignite lot of straw in
the building, and there being no fire en-
gines in the town, it was impossible to
subdue the flames. A block of four brick
stores was also wantonly destroyed by
skulking stragglers All the barracks were
laid in ashes, and a black veil of dense
smoke hung over the war desolated
city nearly all day, arising from the smoul-
dering ruins.
Owing to the great lack of railroad Il ans
portation, General Corse was obliged to
destroy nearly million of dollars worth
of property, among which was few thou
sand dollars worth Of condemned and I'M
serviceable government stores. Nine reb-
ell guns, captured at Rome by our troops,
were burst, it being deemed unsafe to use
them.
One thousand bales of fine cotton, two
flour mills,two rolling mills, two tanneries,
one salt mill, an extensive foundry, sew
eral machine shops, together with the rail-
road depots and storehouses, four ponteon
bridges, built by General Corse's pioneer
corps, for use on the Ooosa and Etowah
rivers, and a substantial trestle bridge,
nearly completed for use, were destroyed.
This trestle, constructed by the Engineer
corps, l am told, would have cost fifty
thousand dollars North. Recollecting the
outrages perpetrated upon Col. Streight
by the Romans" our troops as soon as
they learned that the town was to be ADAM
doned and portion of it burned, resolved
to lay Rome in ashes in revenge. The
roaring of the flames, as they leaped from
window to window, their savage tongues
of fire dartirg high up into the heavens,
and then licking the sides Of the buildings,
presented an awful but grand spectacle,
while the mounted patrol and the Infantry
men glided along through the brilliant light
like the ghost'y spectres Of horrid war.

WASHINGTON, Nov. est is admitted
by the rebel papers that the Federal forces
are well across the Oconto River.
The report that Milledgeville has been
occupied is confirmed, and also the de-
struction of the charcoal works and foun-
dries at Griswoldville.
The panic created both in Georgia and
South Carolina by the march of the ire
sistible conqueror is something which has
had no parallel during the war. A levy
en- m,asse of the Georgia and South Caro-
lima militia has been ordered, aud despe-
rate efforts were being made to concen-
trate an army sufficient to present some
obstacle to Sherman's advance.
The Augusta Constitutionahst of the
22d says already party of the enemy
has struck the road ten miles east of Ma
con and destroyed lumber train. Freight
trains were turned back in haste. Heavy
cannonading and musketry fire was heard
east of Gordon. 1t was supposed that
Gen. Wayne at Gordon had been attacked.
Milledgeville had been entirely evacuated
by our forces before the enemy entered.
Everything of value was brought away.
The Augusta Dispatch Dist says the
movement of Sherman on Milledgeville
was feint for the purpose of concentrate
ing our forces there, and the raid on the
Central was for the purpose of keeping
them there, whilst the whole force of the
enemy moved upon and captured Augusta
or Savannah.
The Augusta COnstitutiondlist gives the
the progress of column under Slocum.
About 1000 cavalry visited Madison on
the Georgia State Road, and burned it on
the 10th.
On the Goth, an engine sent up the road
found the enemy at Buckshead, eleven
miles nearer Augusta. On the 10th some
of our men were fifteen miles from Angus
ia. Probably raiding party.
The Augusta Chronicle of the Goth,
says large cavalry force left Greenville,
S. c., and are bound across the country
in the direction of Atlanta, with the view
to cut off the Yankee column moving
down the Georgia road in this direction.
1t is said that Breckenridge was to
leave East Tennessee with his troops, on
the 18th, for the Georgia line. With
Hood in his rear, Breckenridge on his
TANKS, and 10000 veteran troops on his
front, Sherman cannot escape.
The Augusta COnStituti0nalist says, as
we write, the glad and familiar shouts of
veteran troops just arriving from the S.
G. depot, comes up from the street. If
Sherman's men retreat this way, they
will hear the whistle of bullets from trusty
guns which have been often pointed at
fanatics on the banks of the Potomac and
the James. Before our readers see this,
other glad shouts will be heard in our
streets
The Macon Confederate of the Goth,
says Gen. Beaureguard will probably be
here tomorrow. (Next day from the
date of the above.)
Communication with the east has been
cut off by Sherman, and both Hardee and
Beauregard are left far in rear of Sherman.
Gov. Brown, Dick Taylor and Beaure-
gard are reported to have been at Macon
on the 22d.
Richmond papers of the 25th and 26th
say they have encouraging news from
Georgia, but they will not print it. Still
they assure their readers that the official
advices from Georgia are as favorable as
they could expect.
