FROM iIle Front.

Our army occupies a 1ew position. The
front rests on and across the West Point Road
at, Palmetto and the left down the Chattahoo-
chez near Campbelton.
Some letter writers think Geu. Hood intends
to move towards Blue Moutain, SO as to threat
en- Sherman's rear, and compel him to give up
Atlanta or force him to attack us in our fortii-
cations. One thing is certain, pur pontoon
teams have been sent forward. -
IF Hood does not keep Sherman occupied it
is very evident that.the latter will occupy his
time in making raids.
The flag oftruce armistice is to be extended
five days longer.
About twenty hundred refugees have
come South and three thousand have gone
North. Some Of the citizens have determined
to remain in Atlanta until forced out by the
bayonet.
Nearly all the young men left in Atlanta
have chosen to go North or have gone to work
in Yankee shops.
All those who have elected to 60 North, who
have been in the. Confederate service, are to be
sent there as prisoners of war. 4 4
The only parties who have gained consent to
remain in Atlanta, who have heretofore been
residents are two men named Markham and
Schofeld-a brother Of the Yankee General. :
A large number of.negroes left Atlanta with
the exiles.
The negroes who accompanied the Yankee
army committed all manner Of outrages upon
their eolored brethren in Atlanta s.
Some of the Yankee, officers informed Mayor
Calhoun that they would be glad if every negro
went South. Sc
The Yankee soldiery are pulling down all the
houses in the suburbs using the materials for
camp huts or fuel.
A large number s. Yankee recruiting agents
are in Atlanta. They offer one hundred and
fifty dollars in greenbacks for negro recruits.
The Yankee army around Atlanta appears to.
be divided in regard to McC Clellan and Bincoln.
Gen. Thomas is said to be in favor of MeClelsS
Griffin is not yet occupied by the Yankees
although it is pretty well evacuated BY uF.

The Golds5oro Journal of Thursday learns, upon
good authority, that yellow feveris prevailing at
Newbern. The number of deaths. daily is saidto be
from twenty to forty, and the number increases.
This is certainly alarge mortality for place like
Newberh unless indeed there be goodly number of
Yankee soldiers there, or an influx Of Yankee traders
and runaway negroes all of which classes wcud make
good food for fever and we trust that respectable
number Of them may be deyoured by BronzeSJ JoAn. 4
1t IS now certain that yellow feyerexsts in Charles

IMPoRrANT CHANeEs.-Ge General Forrest ghas

of all the cavalry forces of the Army Of Tennes-

"a measure that was urged upon the, Presi-
dent long before Johnston's removal -.
The ten days truce over we may look out
for something stirring"
1t is understood.to have been Johnston's po-
icy to permit Sherman to cross the Atlanta
and West Point road at any time he might
elect to do, and even to strike the Macon road
at Jonesboro', should he desire it, and then to
cut him off from his communications, and 90
up on the principle that "a plaster on the back
is good for pain in the stomach" The cam
paign of Hood, like that of Grant around Rich
mond, is understood to be close imitation of
his predecessor. The one organized with, Nc
Clellan, the other with Johnston. II is hoped
that Hood will bea little more successful than
those who have from timeto time undertaken
the execution of the only rational plan for. the
captureo Richmond.

FUEL.-The following from the Wilmington
""Journal," afnds an echo in this bosom :"
George P. Morris, now qnhappily no more,
made good deal of capital by his poetical re-
quest to certain "woodman" to spare that
tree" We fear that more than one woodman
in our section will make more capital this year
by neither sparing "that tree" nor the buyer
of the cord wood sticks into which it may be
divided. For our part, we would reverse the
words of the song, and say, "Woodman, don't
spare that tree, nor the other ones. Cut them
down and bring themsto market but oh, spare
the poor buyers in the town! Sell the fuel for
little less than its weight in Confed-let the
saints and the sinners here have something to
keep the vital warmth in their bodies while
longer. Let them have stick now and then
to cook their yctuals. 1t wont%require much
for that purpose. Upon the whole, we may

Tic Ottuwn Democrat Gone Up.

The Ottawa Democrat has yielded before
the pressure of high prices, and its publica-

Mr.. NEWCOMER, makes the announcement
in the following card:

compelled to seek more lucrative Held.

labors have been prosecuted, pecuniarily,
under adverse circumstances. AT the close
of the three years our toll has been poorly
recompensed, and now we find the increas-
ing prices so great that the present patron
age of the office does not render sufficient
income to meet the outgoing expense. The
present patronage of the Office, during the
reign of excessive prices, will not warrant
continuation of the paper.
Other local papers will speedily follow The
Democrat, we fear; for the extraordinary
price which is now asked for everything
that enters into the publication of news

business. Those who continue it will be
compelled to advance their prices to cor
respond with the advancing prices of white

The Political situation.

Under this head The World has an able
article of which the following is the con-
Guiding paragraph:
seThe questions of foreign intervention,
and other questions which not even the Ad-
ministration (much less the opposition can
control, may so change the aspect OF affairs
before another election, as to render any
programme absurd that might be devised
at present. 1t is the duty of the Democratic
party to keep vigilant eye upon events,
and, when the time shall have again come
for action, to accept their logic. Its free
dom from responsibility imposes on it no
duty but to watch for the public safety.
For ourselves, we have no desire to see it
fitted with dogmatic strait jacket, to i'm
pede its free growth and development. Let
the next two years be period of free men
tai activity fettered by no narrow and re-
pressive formulas. Whoever strikes out
any new truth, or even starts plausible
error with vigor enough to provoke and
quicken intelligent investigation, Is a
public benefactor. In the new epoch
upon which we are entering, the coun-
try needs light, light; and it is only by
the unclaimed activity of thought under the
stimulus of new events, and the collision
of mind with mind i'm able discussion, that
new light can be struck out. There is moth
ing so democratic as truth, and truth is
born of the free activity of individual
minds. When the time isagain rife for po-
litical action which requires concert we
will meet and compare views; and having
ascertained the essential points on which,
after so much growth of opinion, we agree,
we will define those points and hold our
selves pledged to the country to administer
the Government in accordance therewith;
but not binding ourselves, even then, never
to grow wiser by experience. We will,
meanwhile, maintain our organization;
abate none of our past vigilance; and we
will promote harmony in the party not by
vain attempts to enslave individual opin-
ion, but by tolerant and manly emulation
in the honest pursuit of political truth
The corner stone of democratic ideas is to
surrender no more of individual freedom
than the public exigencies may, at any
given time, require"

will practically reduce the Republican ma
iority last year of 1929 on the home vote,
to nothing. Returns from the entire State
will show q total Democratic gain since last
year of about 1900! q
The Democracy of Wisconsin have done
nobly. No other State can show in pro-
portion to population as large Democrat
ic gain within the past year, and this has
been done in the face of large losses to the
Democratic vote by drafts, the allurement
of patronage and the threats of power,
Thousands of Democrats have been drafted
into the service or frightened from the State
by the conscription; hundreds have been
seduced to become the apologists OF the
Administration for pay. and thousands
more have been deferred from voting by
fear OF conscription hereafter. These losses
have been made up by patriotic Republic
cans, of whom probably not less than ten
thousand voted for General Mcclellan. A
little more effort would have redeemed the
State. <I

In every business or profession. indeed in every

acknowledged htad-some one who stands out in
bold relief among his fellows, as sort OF leader.
In tho study and treatment Of deafness and catarrh
as special diseases, DR.. +. B. LIeHTHILL, Of this
city, occupies just the position above described;
He has devoted years Of labor to this speciality, and
is now reaping the reward Of his industry. The
editorial columns Of the tribune. OF recent date,
bear witness to the Doctors success in this depart
ment Of medicine. We quote the paragraph:
"CURE OF DEAF MUTE.-LoUIs LoEwISsTEIN,

to this city when he was about two years old. soon
after his arrival here he taken sick and lost his
hearing. BY degrees he became first deaf and then
dumb. For nearly ten years he was muto. unable
to hear the lOudest voice, or to artculate word
About one year ago he was placed by his parents In
the hands of DR.. LIGHTHILL, who has so far sue
ceeded in restoring to him his lost powers Of hear
ing and utterance that he can cOnyerse with those
who speak to him distinctly and deliberately. Dur
ing the past four or fvO months he has been under

that, previous 10 calling on Dr.. LIGHTHILL, tho

DR.. LIGHTHILL possesses other testimonials and

to be above the surface of the water as fol-

wanted to do to keep her in proper course.
Her passage down the East River was
fraught with much danger to herself and
the shipping, as she steered wildly, and the
vessel was frequently stopped to enable the
pilot to straighten her out. She passed the
battery about sundown, steering first to
starboard and then to port with two tugs
ahead and one on each quarter. Itrequires
several men to steer her under the most fa-

Stewards Course-What is to be
Done.
WAsUINGTON. Nov. u.

WASHINGTON, NOV. ~.
It is understood here that Mr.. Seward has
prepared and transmitted, or is about to
transmit, to the Brazilian Government a
letter, wherein, with customary coup d.
plomatique. it is said he tenders the most
ample apology for the recent violation of
the neutrality law by the Wachusett in seiz-
ing the Florida at Bahia, while at the same
time he does not offer to return the captured
vessel to the port where she was seized.
This letter, it is hoped, will allay any irrita-
tion which may be felt at the conduct of
the Federal officers. There is but one Opin-
ion here in the matter, and that is, that the
seizure of the Florida, while In the waters
and under the protection of neutral pow
er,was gross violation of the law of nations,
strict reparation for which offense would in
clude the returning ofthe Florida to Bahia,
thedismissal from the service of the Captain
of the Wachusett, and the removal of our
consul at the port in question, together with
full apology for The unjustifiable conduct OF
the United States officials. Mr.. Seward, his
friends claim, will endeavor to save our ma
tional pride such humiliation, and at the
same time satisfy the Brazilian Government
that the offense was not wanton one. A
war with Brazil would not be agreeable
Just now, because probably one of the first
actions of that power, ii she should pluck
up courage to declare hostilities, would be
to recognize the independence of the Con-
federate States, then open her ports for the
adjudication upon and disposal of all prizes
taken by rebel privateers, and otherwise as
sist the Confederacy. The navy of Brazil
is not very large, but she could put afloat a
great many privateers; and beside. thou
sands of freebooters would embrace the OPP
portunity of preying upon our commerce
under the Brazilian flag, so that in short
time possibly, not an unarmed American
vessel would be left upon the sea.

The Capture of the Florida.

The journal dd Bahia, a Brazilian paper,
gives an account of the circumstances at
tending the recent capture of the Florida
by the United States steamer Wachusett.
According to this account is appears that
the United States consul in that port had
pledged his honor that there should be
no attack made by the Wachusett upon the
Florida; that the captain of the Wachusett,
after the attack was made, promised the
Brazilian officers, who hailed him in the
dark, that he would await the action of the
Brazilian authorities in the morning; and
that the populace of Bahia, exasperated at
the want of faith of the American officials,
and at the insult offered to their nationality,
attacked the house of the American consul,
and forced him to quit the city.
