RESOLUTIONS OF the Georgia State
Senate.

It is very evident from the following
resolutions, which were adopted unani-
mously by the Georgia State Senate on
the 18th ult., that Governor Brown and
other statesmen of that class. do not re-
present the people of Georgia:
WHEREAS, War waged against US during
the past year has been marked by fierce
ness and cruelty well calculated TO try the
courage of cur people, and test the wisdom
and ability OF our Government and
WHEREAS, Under Divine Providence
the conduct Of our armies in the field, no
less than the general management Of our
civil affairs, has given the country renew
ed confidence in the wisdom, patriotism
and virtue of our Chief Executive, Jefer-
SOIL Davis and
WHEREAS, An expression Of sense Of
our people on this subject is becoming and
proper on the part Of their Representatives,
be It therefore
Resolved, That the thanks Of the people
of Georgia are due and hereby rendered
to Jefferson Davis, President Of the Con-
federate States, for his able, fearless and
impartial conduct Of our Government
during the past year and that our conf
dence in his wisdom, purity and patriot
ism It unshaken and without abatement.

date:

FROM SOUTHERN PAPERs---sHER
MANS MOVEMENTS.


NEW YORK, Dec l.
The Richmond Dispatch of the 2sth
says;
The Georgia papers publish great deal
about ShermRn's movements, and nearly
as much about our own, all of which it
would be very imprudent to copy.
1t was pretty well sscertsined that the
left wing of Shermans army, when it
reached Madison, numbered 10000. They
burned the town when they left.
Augusta papers show the excitement in
that city, week ago Monday, wss very
great, and in the urgent need for troops it
was proposed to impress negroes.
One OF the papers OF that place was
verv fearful of treachery on the part of
its citizens on Sherman's arrival.
The importance of Macon and Augusts
are dwelt upon at some length by the rebel
press, and that their fall would be great
disaster is admitted.
The Richmond Wing derives some
comfort from an assertion, which it strives
TO believe true, that Sherman is only
marching, on an average seven miles a
day.
The Richmond Enquirer of the 2sth,
has the following:
On Thursday last a serious attempt was
made by the Federal prisoners, confined at
Salisbury, N. c., to make their escape,
which was rapidly and effectuslly quelled,
at the expense IF considerable Yankee
blood. It appears that a plot had been
formed among the prisoners, of whom
there are at Salisbury some Il, 600, to over
power the interior guard of the encamp-
meut, then break through the line of the
parapet guard, and after securing all the
arms they could, march through Western
North Carolina and Tennessee, and make
their escape.
In the first part of their programme
they succeeded. The interior guard was
overpowered and two of the unfortunate
men were killed while resisting. The par
apet guard, who fought brsVely against
the terrible odds, until the alarm was COM
municated to the garrison, and two pieces
of artillery were thrown into position bear
ing upon the encampment.
Two of the parapet guard were killed in
their gallant defence. In good time the
artillery opened, and after a few rsking
discharges of grape and canister, the in
surrectlonists cried out for mercy and de-
clared that they would make no further
effort to get away.
By this time they were completely sur
rounded by artillery and infantry, and it
was well for them that they ceased their
demonstration and sued for mercy. In ten
minutes more the whole camp would have
been one scene of slaughter. As it was
about forty were killed and large num-
Der wounded. Thus very foolish attempt
to escape from Confederate dursnce has
ended

WASHINGTON, Dec. l.
The Chronicle of this morning, speaking
of Major General Banks preparations to
leave here shortly for New Orleans, to re-
sume his position as head of the Depart
ment OF the Gulf, including Louisiana,
Arkansas and Missouri, says all his civil
policy has met the approval of the Presi
dent, and he returns to his post at the re-
quest of the Executive, and that it is no
less pleasant TO announce that the kindli-
est relations exist between General Banks
and General Candy, in charge of military
operations in the division of West Missis-
sippi. ..

Parties who have arrived from the
front and were witnesses to the battle yes

forces as desperate. Four charges were
made upon the Federal line of masked
batteries in body four lines deep. Each
time the rebels were repulse1 with fearful
loss.
The fort is on the north bank of the
river, and encireling the town was the

Eye-witnesses say the engagement, in
desperation and furious fighting, was
hardly equalled by the battle of Stone

mandiDg the Union forces at Baton Rouge,
returned to that point on the 22d ult., from
an expedition to Liberty and Brookville,

The Hersld's correspondent in the city

represents the condition of the country,

interrupted by the continued warfare, bri-

Semmes, of the pirate Alabams, arrived at
Bagdsd, Mexico, on the 11th of October,
en- route TO Richmond via Mstamoras.
Up to November goth there was no quo

Memphis papers of yesterday contain a

to burn the Memphis and Charlton Rail-
road depot containing Government stores
worth 100000. The plot was discov-
cred by the United States detectives, to
whom the matter was entrusted by Gener-

AFFAIRs IN TENNEssEE.

Army movements for the past few days
have been simply for position. The Fed
srsl forces have not ratreated, except TO
improved locations.
We occupy franklin to-day, but viii
probably select for battle ground place
much nearer Nashville.
Skirmishing has occurred, with little or
no advantage to either side. The proba-
bilities are that a battle viii be fought
within the next ferty-eight hours. Our
troops are in eager expectation, and are
confident of success
Large accessions Of troops have reached
here, who have been sent to advantageous
pOsitio1k
Small detaehments of rebel cavalry
have been operating not far from Nash

Railroad communication with Chatta-

PARoLED UNIoN SOLDIERS.

The special correspondent of the Anueri-

follows:
The steamer Constitution has arrived
with 700 psroled men. She left Savannah
on Sunday evening. No papers had been
received later than November 22d.
Nothing definite had been heard from
Sherman, but it was the general belief in
Savannah that he was advancing on that
city in two columns. There was great
CONSERVATION among the rebel authorities
there.

VIEWS OF SHERIDAN.

NV IVhh1 IIUNs L
The Richmond Examiner says:
If Sherman could take Macon or Au-
gusta by his way, he would accomplish
great things. But the destruction of those
towns was not his main object. His de-
sign was to destroy the railroad as far as
he.could, which run from Southern and
Western Georgia to Virginia and the
Carolinas, and rest his army at Beaufort
and Fort Royal.
Ifhe can establish himself permanently
at Beaufort he may be able to operate
against these roads repeatedly.
Furthermore, Beaufort lies between
Charleston and Savannah and can be con-
veniently used as the base of land opera
tions against either city.

Person who have seen Richmond papers
of the 18th ult. say that they contain dis
pstehes from Augusta to the 26th, which
state that Sherman had not approached
that city, and repeat the statement in the
Savannah papers, of the oath, that he had
been defeated in his efforts to cross the
Oconce river, and that his attempt to march
eastward had been bsffled.
The rebels claim that they still occupy
Macon, and the Richmond papers argue
that Sherman cannot reach that city.

Nashville, Dec. l.
The Federal forces under Gen. Thomas
retired from Franklin last night, and have
taken position in line of battle south of
Nashville three miles. Skirmishing has
been going on all day, about five miles
south of here, and heavy cannonsding can
be distinctly heard in the city. No want
of confidence it felt by the citizens in the
ultimate success of the Federals.
The employees Of the Quartermasters
Department are under arms and in the
trenches.
