4 PROPHECY-SHALL TT BE Full
EII.IEn

In 1860, pre-eminent journalist in this city at
that time predicted that the last and decisive bat
tie of the war, would be fought near the Chatta-
hoochee river. In the spring of 1868, distin-
guishcd general, then on his way to Vicksburg,
made the same prediction. Ii was not believed
by the public. Part of the prediction has been
verified.
The seat of Government, Richmond, is the prize
which the lincoln Government is now striving to
obtain. They have sent chosen leader, whose
chief merit is obstinacy TO accomplish its capture
But while we believe that the possession Of Rich
mond is their primary object, we are of the firm
opinion that the fall of Atlanta is secondary to it.
With Atlanta in their hands, they feel able to
take Charleston; and marching into North Carroll
ma hem Lee in Virginia, If they fail to capture
Atlanta, they will hold Johnston and his army in
check, and prevent the reinforcement Of General
Lee.
The enemy think by the capture of Atlanta that
Charleston and Savannah will not only fall into
their hands an easy prey, but that Columbus Sell
ma, Montgomery and Mobile will also be in their
possession, giving them control of the country
from New Orleans to Charleston. Impressed with
this conviction, Sherman will doubtless be as OBJ
stinate as Grant. This leads us to believe that a
battle will take place. If we defeat the enemy,
and have the utmost confidence in the result,
it is highly probable that it will be the last con-
test of the waT. If the enemy succeed, the war
is indefinitely protracted.
1t rests with the people to make it the most de-
cisive battle of the war. Let them act cheerfully
and hopefully, literally and nsbly. The troops
under Gen. Johnston are worn down physically
bat not morally, by fatigues and hardships they
have undergone since the evacuation of Dalton.
Fl behoves the people to come up to their asss-
lance. Let every one who las negro and can
spare him, send him to the front to build fortifca

BRUTAL ORDER OF YANKEE GENERAL
Mos6y Retalia.cs-On commencing his movement
up the Virginia Valley, Gen. Hunter, the Yankee
commander, published proclamation to the effect
that, in case his supply trains interrupted by
Confederate forces he would destroy all houses aud
property of citizens within five miles of the scene
of action. His threat, howevaxt does not seem to
have had the desired effect, as the following state
ment will show
On the night of the 30th Maj Gilmore bounced
upon of Hunters trains in the vicinity Of New
Market, and destroyed Is wagons heavily laden
with commissary steres One of the wagons was.
filled with medicines, and would, could it have
been brought off, have made valuable prize.
In retaliation to this act and under the p-ovis-
ions of his proclamation, Hunter proceeded to burn
and destroy but had scarcely begun his infamous
work when Mosby came down like thunder clap
on the ineendiaries. -Four or five houses had al
ready been burned in New Market and vicinity.
One of Hunters men was caught with torch in
his hand proceeding to fire dwelling. He was
taken to the ruins of a recently burned mansion
aud in the midst of the charrcd timbers and half
burned rafters, and on the hearthstone blackened
with desoation, he paid the debt of his iniquity
with bullet through his heart. 1t was debated
dozen other prisoners, but it was considered that
the one lesson was sufficient to reach Hunters Nv
derstanding and enable him to comprehend the
fact that he had altogether mistaken the character
Of the men with whom he proposed to deal. He
sent communication to Hunter, announcing the
execution as stated.

How THE WAR AFFECTS LINcoLN's SEcURI-
TIES, IN EuRopE-The New York Herald con-
tains two interesting letters from Europe. The
one, dated London, May 7th, says: "Public expect
alton here is getting up to pretty high point as
to the probable result of the military movements
in Virginia If Grant should get the worst of it,
it will give immense encouragement to the friends
of secession in Europe"
The other dated London, May 18th, says:
at is difficult 10 describe the species Of panic
that has existed here on American affairs for the
last six. or eight days, and far more difficult to
account for the same any rational OF phi!osophi
cal grounds The monied men seem to think that
Uncle Sans future existence depends on Grant
giving Lee thrashing during the month of May.

that he believed if he had wanted to borrow ESQ.,

of 81 900 O00 sterling in United States green
backs, he would have found it impossible to get
the money of a London broker. They seem to

Those who are really hostile to the Gov
ernmcnt of the United States. and desire
its overthrow, take the ground that .Nr.
Lincoln Is the Government. and his errors
are paraded before the country as the errors
Of the Government. Those who cannot
distinguish between their country and its
temporary rulers, but would sacrifice or baz-
ard the one from dislike of the other. is not
worthy of the name of an American citi-
zen.
Submission to the constituted laws and
authorities Of the land, is the only basis of
free government and civilized society and
all who take up arms against them without
cause, and all who aid comfort, and counsel
armed enemies in war, are alike guilty of
betraying their country, and in all time to
come, should be branded with the scorn of
loyal men. And We call upon all good cit
liens to mark and frown upon all who per
Sist in this infamous work-to abandon all
distinctions of kindred and party. and
hencetorth, to recognize no distinction but
between those who are for, and those who
are against the Government; and whether
the men in power please US or not, to sus-
tain them in all their efforts to save the
country, until others are put in their places.

MilleniaI Glory Predicted.

In the midst Of all our national troubles.
it is cheering to learn from some of our
public speakers, and inspired preachers,
that we are on the eve Of blissful period
They tell us-and so do some Of the public
journals-that the millcnial glories long
Iooked-tor, are coming! To men of mere
common understanding-such as we claim
to be--the present and past state of affairs
have seemed to be quite gloomy and the fiI-
ture uncertain; but these sages and proph-
cts Of superior discernment discrv in the
existing evils under which the nation has
long been suffering, only the precursors Of
the miIlenial glory! The beautiful visions
of these milIenial seers, seem to gather
strength from the clouds and darkness which
overshadows others of us At no former
period, Judging from their advertisements
and newspapers, has there been so many
inspired lecturers and preachers on this sub
jet
We are not certain that We understand
precisely what they mean by the "milleni-
UNI If they mean that happy t;me-that
good time coming, when :" the lion is to lie
down with the lamb, and when "a little
child is to lead them, We can't agree that
the time is close at hand The demoralized
race Of men, who have participated in this
Internal rebellion, must die off, and better
breed Of men take their places, before we
can sing out peace on earth, and good Will
towards men," We are wonderfully mixed
up with the predictions of Dariel, with the
fruits Of Autichrist, and with the threaten
ed evils Of the Apocalypse. The devil has
been loose, and he has operated upon a large
scale, both in Church and State, but he has
not been loose for one thousand years

The Small POX Still RACES.

The scourge Of our race, and handmade
of the rebellion, still RACES in and around
our town. 1t is all through the town, and
has penetrated all classes of society. 1t is
in the army hospitals, in private families
and is even said to be extending into the
country. 1t occurs to us that the matter
has been badly managed, though we may
not be judge. Small Pox hospitals and
pest houses are in the midst of. the town.
Persons run up against cases on the streets.
Negroes and others open the front doors of
citizens, and rush in with the impudence of
the devil In short, every man goes where
he pleases, and every one does as he pleases.
We call for more rigid rule, civil and mill
tary, and we must have it, or we are to be
overrun, if not driven out of our houses.
