Union Prisoners.
WASHINGTON, November %.
The Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist Of the
22d advises the people to cut down trees and
impede Shermans march if possible, burn
every thing that man or beast can eat, and
drive their stock into swamps. 1t says that
troops have already arrived from Virginia,
and more are on their way, and says that de
lay would be fatal to Sherman. The Savan-
nah Meas, of the same date, gives similar
advice. These papers insist that his move
lnent is a retreat to point of communica
ton. With Hoods army on the Tennessee
river, Atlanta becomes untenable.
Tho Herald publishes Governor Browns
proclamation in full, calling out the Georgia
militia. 1t is lengthy and percmptory call.
II also gives General Meigs order inpressng
ali citizens OF Augusta and vicinity. All bar
rooms were closed and business suspended.
One artillery company OF citizens was organ.
lied. All printers and editors in Augusta
had been organized into a company called
tbs Press Guard Winters cavalry had
been ordered to rendezvous at Macon. -
Members Of the Georgia Legislature expires,
sing through were arrested, and efforts were
made to put them in the ranks. They m.n
aged to get of.
The Worlds Baltimore letter says: Lee
has sent off 10000 men to Georgia to u Get
Sherman, and filed their places by two di'
visions from Early's army. These divisions
are kershaw's and another The former left
Eariy's army on the 18th, and the latter on
the 20 h. The writer claims rebel auth0ri-
t. for saying that there will soon be 10000
men in Georgia to oppose Sherman.
The IriJunts Washington special says
1t is affirmed that the secessionists here
are in possession Of important news from
Sherman, to the effect that his cavalry had
reached and surrounded Mllen, and held the
place until his infantry advance had come
up, and relieved about two thirds Of all oul
Union prisoners who had been confined
there. The remainder had been removed
further South'befor Sherman's arrival"
A Washington dispatch Gath says: The
latest information from the army is probably
that from ex -General Roger A. Pryor, wht
was brought hithcr to-day a prisoner ant
lodged in the Old Capitol. He was captured
last Sunday near Petersburg. Several gen
tlemen, who were present during a converse
ton with him, say that he admitted tina
Sherman had captured Macon and Milledge
vile, and that there was little, if any doubt
from the rapid progress he was making, tina
he had captured Augusta, and would encoun
ter nothing serious to impede his march t.
the seaboard that with Augusta in his pos
session, the Southwes. would be cut of from
Richmond, and no troops could he sent from
Lee to reinforce Savannah. General Pryo
talked freely and apparently with frankness
rcmarking that the South now regarded Gen
Sherman with more alarm than any other OF
iccr in the service of the United States, ant
that the press Of the South would not be 81
communicative as herctoforc'regarding shcr
mans movements. He understood il was
reported that Sherman had liberated a mum
Der of prisoners and armed them, but thai
this rumor needed confirmation"

TIE SOUTHERN TO WNSIIPS AND

Letter fran, Hon Cicero Close.

: MEssRs III. A. 4 G.. D. PERKISs:-I no.
ticcd an article IN the GAZETTE Of Nov. f9th
under the title Of Good for Black Hawk
County," and in that article you state had
the lower part of the County done as well as
the northern portion our expectations would
have been realized" and further, that Cedar
had fallen IS, and Poyner II, behind the
majoritics Of last year. Let US examine this
last statement and see whether these things
he so. ...
In 1864 you mako Cor should at least) the
vote for President your basis Of calculation,
being the highest Office voted for at that el.c-
ton.
In 1868 the Governor was the highest
His vote then must be the basis for that year.
Let us see how the votes stand comparison.
In 1868 Cedar cast 60 votes, Of which
Stone received Al, and Tuttlo 10; Stones
majority, %. t.
In 1864 there we're cast "a votes, Of which
Lincoln received 90, and Mcclellan had II !;
Lincolns majority, 10. cannot sec where
the falling off of IS votes is. You may
tke some of the Offices and make that diff
ference, and can take others and make a
gain for 1864, and l suppose it is the same
with Poyner, but do not know, as have
not The vote for 1868.
All we wish is to have credit for what we
have done. When we went to the polls on
Nov. tho opposition claimed that they were
going to get a majority, aud even some of
the unionists stated that we should lose the
day, and we went to work in earnest, and
when nigh, came We had won by giving Old
Abe majority of II. We thought molly
and valianty had we battlcd for the right,
aud victory was ours. But, says the GA
zETrg, Cedar has fallen g behind the major
ity OF 1868. We can't see it in that light
down here.
But we confess to cur extreme regret that
we hare considerable copper in Cedar, and
that they have had quite an acquisition to
their party since 1868, by persons moving
in and becoming residents and voters, while
on the other hand quite number Of Repub-
icans have left town, which shows still more
in orr favor / believe there is no town in
the south part Of the Co. that foot up as
Union and Lester, at the same time the I'm
ionists Of those towns deserve Just as much
if not more credit for doing their duty man
fully, as those towns that gave large major
ity for Lincoln.

This magnificent Southern Novel, from the
gifted and accomplished mind of Miss Evans OF
Mobile. aIthoIc>s of " Brul,lr, ana iittngly called
the Madame DE Staei OF the SOUTH Is now III its
second edition, revised and corrected.
The following cxtract- selected from nnumerabe
otl..is, OF SIMILAR concentrations, speak applOIni-
a;ely Of its superior merits:
From the L2adon 7Jias
"The South surpasses the North not only in chi
valry and military genius, but in the high cviza-
elton of surprising literature also. Natu,fq IL the
product OF female mind; hut masculine, learned
"and grand, beyond the qualities usually found
among i'terGt"trs of that 1t is at once hon
"orable to the South and hopeful Of Its future"
From the Ns7c York DtiIy Times.
at cannot lie denied that, in "Macar;a," Miss
evans has more than sustained her splendid pow
crs first illustrated in 'Bculah for the for
ner Is far superior III learning, genius and por-
tature, to the latter; while, as a story of the war
it casts far iii the shade all Nolthorn rivals"
From DeB0'c's Rcgteac.
"Miss Evans bids fair TO be one of the most
shining lights of oar literature In this our or,
Judgment corresponds with that Of all our friends
admiration for a noble production ana ore which
" must place the author on IL high niche. " hey,
" there are Thousand merits, il would be inyidiUs
