TElE SOUTHERN STATES.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Rnnchmond pa
pers Of Thursday last have been received
here, and contain the following items of
news:
The rebels acknowledge the election of
Mr.. Lincoln, and the Dispatch says that the
Yankees, in rc-electing him, have imposed
upon themselves q tyranny for which alone
they are fitted by nature,
Affairs around Richmond and Petersburg
remain unchanged, but the rebels are unani-
nous that Grant will yet deliver a great bat
tie before winter comes and that he will be
assisted in the movement by the James
river fleet, which will pass through the
Dutch Gap Canal.
New YORK, Nov. 14.-The Richmond pa
pcrs of the 10th have been received.
In the rebel Senate resolution was of
fered that it is sound policy to employ ne
groes in the army i'll all positions except as
soldiers.
In the House there was sharp debate on
Mr.. Foote's resolution dcnouncing Davis
recommendation to repeal the exemption of
editors and newspaper employees from mill
tar, '"rvice. The resolution wac hnally re-
ferrcd.
The Richmond ENG Mrer announces the
recommendation of Davis as the first step
toward dictatorship.
Governor Brown, of Georgia, in his mes
sage, advocates the right Of each State to
negotiate peace for itself.
The Wing criticises Davis. proposition to
employ slaves in the army and navy, and
wants him and the rebel authorities to mind
their own business, which IS to enforce and
execute the military laws they now have. 1t
says his arrangements arc the arguments of
Seward and Summer, and, if true, slavery is
wrong, and the sum of all barbarism.
The latest advices from Hood represent
him "across the Tennessee, and everything
going on as we'll rs the heart could wish,
Hood enters upon his campaign with the
finest army ever marshalIed south Of Vigin-
ia. 1t is larger in numbers, and has better
generals, and the troopcs in finer spirits
than was ever known before.n

GEN BUTLER-Is now the subject of nu-
merous characteristic anecdotes, which,
founded or unfounded, are now current in
the city. 1t is related that just before the
election he sought an interview with a GER
tain prominent Copperhead banker, and af-
ter rehearsing the threats which this party
were making, informed him that he (the ban
kerr being leader in their midst, and hav
ing more than most others to excite their
passions, should be held personally account
able for their deeds on the day of election.
The montion had its effect, so they say,
and the warning was repeated to the "mass-
es," who were studiously quiet thereafter
The General still has his headquarters at the
Hoffman House. On Saturday he was the
guest of Mr.. Thurlow Weed, who is at pres
ent at the Astor.

Army of the James.

BEFORE RICHMOND, Nov. 13, 1864.
In every engagement there are incidents
which illustrate variety of characters
many of which are worthy of being placed
Oh record Those in which patriotism and
bravery are comprised cheering our brave
bows OIL to sustain the old flag, should be
held up as an evidence of their unwavering
loyalty, and for the purpose of stimulating
Others to emulate their noble example. With
this idea in view, l would refer to the gal
liant conduct of Colonel Fairchild's brigade
in the demonstration against Richmond,
September 9th. Never did men acquit
themselves more creditably. Amid terri
bic fire they rushed again ,and again upon
the enemy's works with an impetuosity that
seemed to insure success, but they were
driven back in defeat, but not with dis
grace.
At one time, when CALLING fire was pour
ed into the brigade, which caused 1t to
waver a little, Capt. W. H. Spain, who hap
pened to be the only remaining officer on
the spot unscathed, shouted to his own re-
giment, the 10Th Wisconsin, to advance in
line and show New Workers how to form
line of battle under fire. The 14Sth New
York was part of the brigade, and was
inclded to give way under the sweeping fire
of the enemy. Under such disastrous cir
cumstances the 10Th formed not only rapid
ly, but remained creditably. Shortly after
this Major S. r. Vaughn, who had been un-
der the enemy's guns, made his escape un-
der combination of perils.
1t must be confessed that when the bri-
gade fell back the first time from the raking
fire of the enemy they were a little in dis
order. and somewhat panic. stricken but

scene with his staff, together with Captain
Spain, who was the officer Of the day, with
drawn swords and words of encouragement
rallied the men to make another attack on
| the encmys works. This incident illustrate
that brave officers never fail to make brave
men while, on the other hand, if the sol
dlers see the officers skullling behind trees
or under any other suspicious circumstances
! the example is likely to be followed.
After the second assault, under the espe
cal inspiration of gallant officers, the men
though unable to reach the enemy's works
won for themselves the appelation of "tht
| brave" They returned in good order, ant
;-hon the line of the 10th Wisconsin wa!
formed arai,, by Captain Spain, there were
only fourteen men, nTCc sergeants, and on'
corporal to march from the n.."' nei

| burg road, the number was augmented tc
about forty, having been joined by tho
stretcher-bearer and Others not in line OF
battle. This regiment, whose place was or
the left of the brigade, through its good
conduct under that terrible fire, was placed
upon the right, andin that position had the
honor of marching off the field
The 10th Wisconsin had its colors sho
down five times; the last three they were
in the hands of Corporal Carpenter. In that
demonstration there were acts of indiyidua
bravery which give additional lustre to the
! loyalty of our citizen soldiers.

WAaHINeToN, Nov 10.
The city is much excited this afternoon by
rumors from the West, In reference to Gen.
Shcrman's late mysterious movements.
The fall in gold today may be connected
with these reports
1t is stated that Sherman had moved di-
rectly east and had occupied Augusta. If
this be SO, it would appear that Charleston
is probably his destination,
WAsHNeToN, Nov 16.--Alfred Onderkirk
of the 1st D. G. Cavalry Col Bakers,)
who was captured in the vicinity of Rich
mond and Darville Railroad, on the 18th of
May, has made his escape and arrived in
this city. He was confined at tAndersonville
Georgia, uatil Sherman took Atlanta, when
prisoners at Andersonville were transferred
to Savannah, Charleston, and other point.
Onderkirl was sent to Savannah and kept
there until news was received that Hood
was operating in the rear of Sherman, when
the rebels took courage, and transferred the
prisoners at Savannah to Miller, Georgia,
which, as being equidistant from Savannah,
Milledgeville and Augusta, and q point on
the leading railroad connections, has been Sc
lected as the main quarters for Union pris-
oners, and some twenty-five thousand have
been placed there.
When about eleven miles from Savannah
on the way to Miller, Onderkirk jumped
from the cars and succeeded in making his
way on foot, through two hundred and
seventy -eigh. miles of hostile country, to
Sherman's lines at Atlanta. He says Savan-
| nah was so scantily guarded by Confederate
troops that every third night details OF
| Marines from the confederate vessels in
Savannah harbor, were obliged to go on
shore to do guard duty over the Union sol
diers. The defences of Savannah are most
ly on the coast side and on the northwest
or land side, the delences are not only very
slight, but the fiat country affords no de
fensible points. The roads are generally
good from Atlanta in the direction of Sa-
vannah, and the country for the most par
level. The streams also are easily fordable
with low banks for the most part. Tht
supplies of sweet potatoes, corn and pea
in the fields would be abundant for the tenn
porary support of a large army in passing
through that country.
Miller, Georgia, is on the direct line o
railroad connection between Atlanta an,
Savannah.

Schuylkill county The distance from Mt.
Carmel 20 Schuylkill Haven is % miles, and
from thence to Lizard Creek 3Ot miles, to-
.tal j2t miles. From Mount Carmel to with
in four miles of Schuylkill Haven, this ex-
tension will pass across the Middle and
Southern Anthracite Coal Fields at about
midway from their respective Eastern and
Western ends. It will interscct latera.
Roads that traverse through both these
great Coal Basins. By an act of Assembly
the company has the right to make any
number Of branches not exceeding ten miles
in length each This privilege will assure
connection with the Collieries in these
Coal fields, either upon'equitable and liberal
terms over the short Roads already made,
or if they may be denied, then by making
their own branches. AS general thing the
Collieries can be reached 10y new Roads that
will be shorter and better than those now
