GETTING WEAx IN THE KsEEs.-If re-
ports be true, all the South has 10 DO to
establish her Independence firmly. in very
brief space of time, is 90 perssvere in her
present habit Of whipping The Yankees. a
fupelo correspondent, writing to the Mo.
bile Advertiser, says letters have been re-.
eeifed from Washington, oIe at May6eld,
KY, from Lucien Anderson, Congressma an
from that distinct, and the other at Dresden,
Tenn, from the notorious Emerson Ethe
ridge, saying that hosiilities would cease
next month, or, mt all events, that an ar.
DIsIics would be proposed, and begging
their re-pective friends to use their utmost
endeavors to have these Ststos 20 with the
North. Etheridge says, I've are whipped"
and Anderson that "ihe present Congress
will recognize the Confedssacy." This is
positiys,says the Savannah Republican.

enemy fred at the Alabama some FIVE times
after her colors were struck. Her rudder
was disabled during the action. Her crew
displayed the utmost bravery. The shell
that did the mischief struck the Alabama
just above her water line, knocking her
bunker to pieces, when the water rushing
in almost immediately put out the fires.
A steam tug wns sent from CherburR, by
the Prefect Of Maratime, to afford assis'
lance to the Alabama, but she arrived after
all the survivors had been picked up by the
Deerhound.

FINE SKAsoNs.-This whole section has
been blessed recently with fine seasons
On Sunday the Sd, there was pretty gen.
eral rain, and. on Saturday last there was
another splendid rain. Crops are looking
well, and the prospect, thank Providence, is
really encouraging. The wheat has turned
out a much better yield than was expected
some time ago. Let all take fresh courage.
for surely God is on our side Charlotte

From the Atlanta Intelligencer.] ].
Georgia.

The lntelligencer of Saturday, speaks
thus Of affairs at the front:
On Thursday the greater part of the en-
emy's dem onstra,iOps were made against
our position in the neig hborho DOC, of G reen's
Ferry. Heavy musketry firing and cannon.
aiding occurred during the day, but no hea.
Wy movement was made by the enemy to
march on the position or take il by assault.
Sherman has sent large force to threat.
en- our left, and doubtless TO divert our at.
tention from other and more mpo rtant po.
sitions. His movements down the river in
The direction of West Point cannot De very
extensive or safely made, for the reason
that it an isolated force gets away in that
directisn too for from their depot of sup
plies on the railroad, they subject them
selves to great privations without securing
any advantages. Such force would doubt
less be broken up by our cavalry. who are
watching their operations. One object Of
the movement is probably to destroy our
railway line to West Point
The enemy have been surprisingly quiet
along the great portion Of our lines, Doubt
less they are seeking for the most available
positions from whicn to dig up TO our front
again, and, il necessary, lay siege regularly
to our position. 1t seems TO be a determ-
ined policy with Sherman not to fight a
regular battle, but to take this city by
strategy and mere oulweighing US. Surely
the turning point must be nearly reached.
We learn fIom reliable source that all the
factories at Roswell were burned on Thurs
day. The enemy seemed 10 pay no atten-
iion 10 the protection demanded by y>he for
eign citizen owners, and their own promises
To protect the property. Thus has been
lost to our Confederacy valuable property
estimated at the least calculation, at five
millions of dollars valuation. II cannot be
replaced until the war is over, and is simply
irrepsrable.
The Contederacy speaks thus Of affairs I:
We still hold our position on the right,
the earthworks in frsnt, and north OF the
river, while our lines on this side are being
prolonged towards the left TO anticipate the
enemy's flank in that direction.
1t is thought that the enemy will attempt
to gross the Chsttahoochie below this place
.but1sIhie he nay make Decentralization on
the right, it should not be forgotten TINT
this main force is in our centre. His man.
euvres cp our left are merely to enable
him 10 force his way across the river near
the railroad. But his plans are all antci
pated by Gen. Johnston, who is always
awake. There is less struggling from ths
army now than there was two weeks ago.
IL is stated that Governor Brown is go
ing to order out the militia Of the State,
which will add greatly TO tho strength Of
our army. And, with Gen Smith 10 com.
mand this force, whose military genius and
Acknowledged ability is well known to all,
he would soon have n we'll oTqanize ed corDs
