Macon, Georgia, which has In all probability
fallen into the hands nf Gen. Sherman, has
been, since the fall OF Atlanta, the most impor.
tant city In the State. It is the capital of Bhb
county, situsted on the west bank Of the DC.
mulgee river, and al the head of steamboat
navigation. II is connected by important rail-
roads with Columbus and Augusta, and II taken
by Gen. Sherman, the act sewers connection
with the East aud West. 1t Is one hundred and
ninety miles from Savannah, and about one
hundred and eighty from Augusta. The sur
roundings of the city make up one Of its most
beautiful features, and no city In the South,
now that the beauty of suburban Nashville has
been destroyed by "grim visaged war;" can
boast of such beautiful and highy.improved
suburbs. The principal residences OF the city
are built on light range of hills lying back
from the river, while the business part covers
the lower lands or basin on the levee. In 1855
the city wac largely Interested In the cotton
trade, and engaged 10 considerable extent in
manufactures.
1t has grown up 10 lts dimensions as given
since 1892, the year OF It's settlement, the in
crease being very rapid for a Southern city;
but the increase In Its size and importance has
been at q still greater ratio since the war began.
The trade Of the city suffered, Of course, by
the blockade, but the manufactures increased,
and Macon soon became an Indispensable arc
| to the rebel confederacy. On the fall of At
lanta General Howell Cobb, commanding the
district Of Georgia, removed his headquarters
TO Macon, carrying with him much of the ma.
chinery which had made Atlanta so important
an objective point TO Sherman's army. In
September last the lower part OF the city,
known as the basin" was full TO overfowing
with the machinery removed thence from At
lanta, and which, by the latter part OF that
month, was reported In full operation. JEFF.
Davis, in his speech there In September last,
spoke of the importance OF the city as an arse
nal, graaary, and hospital, and only few days
since Richmond paper alluded TO the exist
ence at Macon Of the "national armory and
central laboratory Of the Confederate States.r
These important manufactures OF munitions
OF war, so necessary to the prosecution of the
war by the rebels, have doubtless fallen into
Gen. sherman's hands, and have been rendered
forever useless.
Macon has been attacked but once before
during the war. Gen. Stonemsn, In July last,
advanced upon the city and attacked the works
defending 1t. Gen. Howell Cobb was In COM
mand OF the defences; but, Gen. Joe Johnston
happening to be present, was requested 10 con-
duct the defence. Gen. Stoneman approached
so near the city that his shells fell into 1t. He
was defeated In the attempt to carry the works,
and on his retreat was captured by Gen. liver.
son. Gen. Joe Johnston has been residing in
Macon since his retirement from the command
OF the Army Of the Tennessee, and may have
conducted the defence Of the city against Gen.
sherman's attack. II the city has been taken
Gen. Johnston may now be prisoner.

"Puuch" ON the Death OF John Le.ch.

the following terms:
"JoHS HSLEECH-OBIIrO OCT. xxx, NDcCCLxIv,
Fiat 46.--The simplest words are best where
all words are vain. Ten days ago great artist,
in the noon of life, and with his glorious mental
faculties in full power, but with the shade Of
physical infrmity darkening upon him, took
his accustomed place among friends who have
this day held his pail. Some Of them had been
fellow workers with him for quarter of a CEN
tury, others for fewer years. but to know him
well was to love him dearly, and all in whose
names these lines are written, mourn as for a
brother. His monument is in the volumes of
which this Is one sad leaf and In hundred
works which, at this hour, few will not remem-
bcr more easily than those who have just left
his grave. While society, whose every phase
he has illustrated with truth of grace, and a
tenderness heretofore unknown to satiric art,
gladly and proudly takes charge of his fame,
they, whose pride in the genius Of great asso-
ciatc was eQualled by their affection for an at
tached friend, would leave on record that they
have known no kindlier, more refined, or more
generous nature than that Of him who has been
thus early called to his rest"

six hundred and forty-ive bales of cotton for
St. Louis, and two hundred rebel prisoners,
captured in Arkansas and Missouri. Nearly

not live In the Confederacy without being iden-
titled with the rebel army, the Commanding
General ordered the arrest OF every country

two or three officers. Many of them had fur

leased, they being peaceable citizens who were

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Fires occurred this
evening at the St. Nicholas Hotel, La Fargo

The La Farge House was not damaged, but
great excitement occurred in the Winter Gar
den, in the same building, for a while, though
no injury to life or limb resulted. The bust
