WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The Republican
publishes dispatch from Fortress Monroe
this morning which says the Z. S. transport
steamers, Atlantic and Blackstone, have ar
rived from Savannah, bringing Savannah
and Hilton Head dates to the 2Ist.
The steamers bring lbs of our soldiers,
who have been prisoners of war at Ander-
sonville and elsewhere. It is learned by
these arrivals that Beauregard had issued a
proclamation, dated Corinth, Nov. 18th,
calling on the people of Georgia to lay
waste and destroy everything around sher-
man, in his front, rear, and upon his flank,
and announcing that he should soon be with
them.
After the steamers left Savannah report
had just reached there that Macon and
Milledgev;lle had been captured and burn
ed by Sherman.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 25.-The American Of
this city has the following:
Highly interesting and exciting intelli-
gence taken from late Georgia papers. The
Augusta Chronicle of the 18th inst. contains
the following appeal to the GeOrgiars by
Senator Hill:
RICHMOND, Nov. 1S.-To the people Of
Georgia: You have now the best oppOrtu-
nifty ever yet presented to you to destroy
the enemy. Put everything at the dispO-
sal of our Government, remove all provis-
ions from the path 81 the invaders, and put
all the distractions you can in their way.
Every citizen with his gun, every negro
with his spade and axe, can do the work of
good soldier. You can destroy the enemy
by retarding his march. Georgians, be
firm, act promptly, and fear not.
[Signedl B. H. HILL.
Imost cordially approve of the above.
JAS. A. seldom,
Secretary of War.
The following is also from the Augusta
Chronicle: At Eatonton or Athens, this
gentleman says, that the view from the
summit of Stone Mountain of the conAagra
ton of Atlanta was awful beyond deserip
ton. The Gate City looked like an ocean
of fame as the fiery waves rose and fell
throughout its whole extent. A passenger
by the Georgia railroad last night reports
that about one hundred Yankee cavalry
made their appearance at School Circle on
Thursday and burned the railroad platform.
1t is not believed they have come down any
further than the Circle. Their infantry en-
camped at or near Old Sheffield on Wednes-
day night. 1t is also reported that the
Yankees have burned Monticello and Kills.

they design tapping the Central railroad at
Gordon or some other point.
The Chronicle Of the 18th further adds
Among the many war rumors on our streets
this morning is one to the effect that Griffin
is captured by the Yankees. as 10 thecOr-
of the rumor we have nothing to
say.
The following is taken from the Augusta
Sentinel of the 10Th: We have this reliable
news from up the river. A gentleman
who arrived on Thursday evening from
Stone Mountain reports that Yankee col

The Macon Telegraph Of Friday says

General Cobb has issued an order calling

The Telegraph further says: there is no

The Telegraph speaking of matters at
hat front says: we have reliable informa-
