FROM sHERMAN's ARMY.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. !

LOUIsVILLEJ sept. H.
The Journals special correspondence,
dated Atlanta. Sept. 10, contains con-
grstulatory order from Sherman recount
ing his victories, and an agreement be-
tween Sherman and Hood for truce, at
Rough and Ready, on the Macon Railroad,
and the country around it, enclosed by
circle of two miles radius, for ten days
from September I'd, to enable the people
Of Atlanta to remove to peints South.
hood to Sherman says
Permit me to say: the unprecedented
measure you propose, transcend in studied
cruelty, all acts ever before brought to
my attention in this dark history of war.
In the name of God and humanity, 1 pro-
test believing that you are expelling from
their homes and hresides the wives and
children of brave people.
General Hood says to james q. Cal
houn, Mayor of Atlantis, 1 shall do all in
my power to mitigate all the hardships
and misery that must be brought upon
your people by the extraordinary order Of
the federal commander.
The letter from Shermrn to Hood was
not attainRble, but the following items,
from a note issued by the Mayor, by per-
mission of General Sherman, will give an
idea thereof T
All citizens are requested to leave At
lanta and proceed either South or North.
The Government will furnish transporta-
ton south as far as Rough and Ready
As far north as Chattanooga. Allcitizens
may take their movable property with
them.
Negroes who wish to do so may go with
their masters. Other male negroes will be
put in the government employ, and the
women and children sent outside the
lines.
Sherman's order of the 4th inst. COM
mences thus:
The city of Atlrnta being inclusiyely for
warlike purposes, will at once be vacated
by all except the armies of the United
States and such civilian employees as
may be retained by the proper
departments of the government; and con-
cludes proper time and just arrangements
will be made for the supplies to the troops
of all articles they may need, over and
above the clothing, provisions, &c, fur
nished by the government ard for no price,
whatever, will traders, manufacturers
or suttlers be allowed to settle in the
limits of fortified places, and if they man
age to come in in spite Of this notice the
Quartermaster will seize their stores and
appropriate them to the use of the troops,
and deliver the parties or other unAuthor-
lied citizens who thus place their
individual interests above that of
the United States, in the hands Of some
Provost Marshal, to be put to labor on the
forts, or conscripted into one Of the regi-
ments OF batteries already in the service,
The same general principles viii apply to
all military posts south Of Chattanooga.

COLUMBUS, Sept, IA.
AS regards ths crowd, there was quite
an improvement at the State fair to-day
over yesterday, and the receipts reached
the sum of three thousand dollars. Still
the crowd is not so good as for the second
day of the fair last year, -a-rs-5
Not many additional entries were made
to-day, and it must be cOnfe ssed that, with
the exception of sheep, cattle and horses,
the display is very poor. ss ~ r.s-
Northern Ohio is but slimly represented,
Cleveland furnishes some fine specimens
of penmanShip and pen work from Bry-
ant and Stratton's College, several stoves
from W. L. Marvin's, and sundry agri-
cultural implements from Younglove, De-
Witt s. Co.'s establishment.
Among the awards made to-day for
roadsters, four years old and over, was a
irst-class premium to Lamb and Western,
of Troy, Gesuga county, for their stallion,
"Searcher." This is all the Reserve has
50 far taken. fa 1|l fr lr
Tomorrow is general feld-day, and the
best for seeing the fair. An increased
crowd is anticipated. t aHa
An immense Union meeting is now be-
ing held here. The greatest enthusiasm
prevails. Ex-Governor Dennison, Hon.
Sam Galloway and others have already
spoken. 1 l7Hf

large. iaalI aiI-a h1H ..rs.. jan.
A considerable rise was expected this
morning, under purchases to cover the sale
of two or three days ago, and the non-re-

apprehension that the market is about to
take another leap downward
The fluctuations to-day were from 2272
to 2254. l
A rumor that Grant had taken Peters
burg sent it down to 223. ral
Gold at $50 advanced to 225.

The rebel soldiers are suffering from
swelled feet in consequence of sitting
and standing so much in the water in

very prevalent in the rebel army.
The Charleston Courier, of Sept. 3, has
a strong article against the cessation Of
hostilities which it says the North is
much in need otto strengthen its arms
and war power. Yet the same issue con-
tsins an article which closes as follows;
War contains in itself every woe and
calamity; mortals groan under it. With
it comes bereavement, poverty, Disease,
death, rapine, devastation eItortiOn, mur-
der, crimes of every dye, woes Of every
shape and size. May the God Of peace,
speedily lift up the light of his counten-
ance upon us and grant US peace.

We ought to have the whole number of

Deserters colEe into our lines daily, who

tired of the war, and that desertions would
be much more frequent, but they believe
peace will be regulated after the fall cleo

PONY PHAEToEs.

"The mania for ponies having revived IN
England Just in time to prevent the extinc-
ton Of the breed, of course Newport reflects
the spasm, and women, old men, who own
ANYTHING in the way of horseAesh, have in
vested in ponies. Generally they are driv
in pairs, harnesscd to basket wagons, and
the effect is exceedingly pretty-when pretty
women handle the reins, which occasionally
happens. These basket vehicles are really
most admirably adapted to the wants of
ladies, being low, so that visiting and shop
ping are easily accomplished, and room is
given for the display Of handsome toilets.
For ladies then they are suitable but men,
too have in sore cases affected them, very
much to their own discredit. 1t isnot man
" to see a full grown whiskersndo, who is
supposed to have muscle and the dignity
peculiar to the sex, seated in atoy cart, list
lessly steering pony or ponies, as devoid
of spirit and, fire as old COWS. 1t denotes
an emasculation anything but agreeable to
witness. Even for women of mature years,
ponies are hardly proper. They are more
appropriate for yOrng girls, but any woman,
who has pretentions to being whip
would surely scorn driving such playthings.
They are few if any ladies on the avenue,
who can claim to be herse-women. They
recline at such an angle in their carriages
looking sometimes as though they had
gone to bed-that control over their
animals is impossible; none is needed,
however"
