AN IMPORTANT MoVEMENT.-As ar
important movement which was commenced
on w ednesday last is undoubtedly known
to the enemy by this time, of course there
exists no longer any reason for keeping th'
news from those who have not heard it.
" A short time since it was announced tba
Wheeler's cavalry would move idto Middl.
Georgia'to protect the; country from raids
The cavalry did move as stated. A. suf6
cient number was left in certain sections, tt
take care of. Yankee raiders if any made
their appearance, and the balapce rendez
voused at gCovibgton.
!, At this place they were all mounted
bQuntifully supplied with ammunition and
provisioned. On Wednesday morning they
started for Sherman's rear. On Friday, 6
courier returned to Covington with the
news that be left the command crossing the
Cbattahoochee on Thursday morning. UE
to that time they had met with no Yankees,
and it is not probable that Sherman knew
of their movement.
The rumor prevalent in our streets on
Saturday-and which was prevalent in At:
lanta, according to our correspondent on
Thursday-tbat Wheeler was 10 the rear Of
Sherman and had already captured Mariet.
Ia, is undoubtedly correct, as the place
where he crossed the river was only about
IL miles from the town. .-
The Macon Telegraph, learns from pas.
seugers from Atlanta, that7it was stated in
that place on Saturday, that Wheeler had
destroyed the bridges across the Etowah and
Oostanaula rivers, and burnt the track the
whole way from Marietta. A large amount
of stores are said to have fallen into bis
hands at Resaca, which was destroyed after
our cavalry had appropriated all that was
needful to them. At last accounts, the
report says, General Whe"l=s was rapidly
marching in the direction of Dalton, where
an immense amount of stores, both subsis
tence and ordnance, has been congregated
for some time. g.:
We also learn that distinguished gen.
eral in the army of Tennessee, Informed a
gentleman that on Saturday last, one week

ExHUM1NG MUsKETs AND LEAD.-For
about five weeks past, the Confederate forces
10 the vicinity of Fredericksburg, Consisting
mainly Of engineers, have been mining
The FIRST day they started this enterprise
they struck paying vein, and hare, worked
it ensrgetically ever sipce. Itseems tbas
number of neatly arranged graves attrac.
ted their attention, and, upon examining
the head.boards, it was found that. they
were all in commemoration Of ,"of6eers."
The proportion of officers to men, slumber-
ing upon that particular field, awakened
suspicion, land the Ceufederates thought
they would try resurrection experiment.
The result was they discovered underneath
the sod so sacred, numerous boxes Of mus
kets, lead and other materials of war

ed belief In the intention OF congress- uu-
der NO circumstances of temptation or trial,
to shrink from the observance Of the most
rigid good faith in the money dealings Of
the Government will enable us to overcome
all our financial difficulties. That such is
their real intention cannot doubt; but
this determination should. be encouraged
and supported by the public declarations Of
our people, expressive Of their own>resolhte
will to foster the credit of the Government
by the establishment of low prices, and by
the patriotic support of its Treasury. What
ever differences Of opinion may have exist
ed in the past, or whatever errors may be
supposed to- have been committed, may now
be buried in common grave. We are
making new start in our finances, and: :ur-
der circumstances byno means unfavorable
or discouraging. ;--s:,t-'-. =.
The expenditures Of the Government are
of two classes-those incurred abroad, and
those incurred at home. In respect of the
first, there has hitherto been but little en-
barrassment' nor is there any reason to ex-
'pect greater difficulty in the future. Our
foreign supplies will probably be procured
without making any addition to the public
debt. The malice of our foes having raised
the price of cotton to sod. per pound in
European, markets, while the depreciation
of our currency enables US at,the same time
to buy it at home at less actually than I'D.
it is plainly seen that it can be no difficult
task to draw from our enemies, and from
the complacent spectators of this atrocious
war, the means of supplying all our foreign
wants. This would leave us then only our
domestic debt to deal with ; and when it is
considered that all that is asked of our peo-
pie, and that the Government is called up
on to pay for, is simply their surplus pro-
ductions and their services in transportation
and mechanical and other labors, who can
doubt the ability of the people to bear this
burthen? If they gave all that is asked
without compensation, they would ask at
last no more than their surplus and would
be no poorer for the gift. How; then, can
their condition be made worse by receiving
the money and the bonds of the Govern
ment in place of receiving nothing?
Ihope, my dear sir, that you will agree
with me in the opinions and sentiments I
have expressed, and may join with me in
the effort to give new and generoos i'm.
pulse to the public sentiment upon this
great topic of our national affairs.
I do not think that planters and farmers
should alone be called upon to decline in fa-
vor of lower.prices. Manufacturers, railroad
companies and every great interest Of the
country should contribute to this reform
Let US content ourselves with moderate.
prices and keep down The public debt ; and
not, by extorting the highest prices, swell
the public burthen and disturb our own
confidence in the virtue and the resources
of the Government.
I remain, dear sir,
Yours, with great respect,
G.. A. TRENHOLM. ::
