Atlanta, came upon a cotton factory where four
hundred Young Georgian women aud girls were
employed; and that, deciding cotton weaving
in Georgia to be coniraband OF war; he sent the
whole four hundred to the North. Louisville
papers, soon after this occurrence, announced
that there were in that city and Nashville orn
thousard five hundred banishcd women and
children in II destitute condition. OF conrSc
the cotton wea> ers and other helpless banishtd

tai proceeding of Beast Butler, in placing a
large number Of captive Confederate officers to

OF their friends, who man and serve the How

works Of the rebels in that vicinity. When
brought before the Pro?ost Marshal aud in

came over the misguided rebels. To be

them anything but agreeable
