leans is al that IS left to us; and the rea-
son is apparent enough. We have lost all
tSpt country just as an army is cut to pie.
ces when, having won battle, it losses all
organization, and gives Itself up to wild
riot Of plunder, while its enemy rallies and
returns to the fight. No sooner was this
Mississippi country in our spossession than
it was fairly deluged with plunderers, un-
der the designation oftreasury agents, navy
agents, army agents, and all other sorts of
agents. Hordes Of these men were every
where, aud they had no thought but 10
make money. Bribery was as common as
the air, and n universal decentralization ruled
and ruined us. Great disasters will come
to us from this very quarter, if the Presi
dent does not change his policy in relation
TO it, But TO change his policy he must
change his cabinet"

The Mississippi Country.

If any one is disposed to think that the
yankee Government has full possession of
the country bordering on the Mississippi
River, lot him read the following acknowI.
edgenent Of the New York Herald. II
will be seen that The Herald confesses that
the Yankees have not been able To hold
the country west Of the Mississippi, and
at some day it will have to confess that
they cannot conquer and subjugate the
southern people. Here 10 what the Herald
is forced to say:
Our private advices from the Lower
Mississippi represent affairs there to be in
a most unsatisfactory state. Wamay con.
sider the whole western bank Of the river
as gone--lapsed into rebel hands once more

Bushwhackers.

The Southern men OF Johnson county,
Tenn, are suffering greatly from the ma.
rauding bu-hwhackeTs who infest that re
glon, and are ia continual dagger Of their
lives. The party OF 30, headed by n man
by the name OF Jones, who murdered Capt.
Waugh week before last, went the SAME
night To the residence Of MAJ. Sam. Me.
Queen, searching and roObing his house,
and stealing every horse upon bis place.
They then went to the residence OF Mr.
Jacob Wagner, stole all his horses but one,
but were prevented from piiaging his house
by the herotsm Of himself and daughter
who hred upon them so rapidly anc reso
lutely, that they took TO their heels, leav.
ing several OF their guns and pistols on the
ground.
The 5nshwhackers, however, are still in
the neigborhood. On SUNDAY last, n, ...sj
Mcqueen was on his way TO this place, b.
was hred on from the brush ON the road
between Shown's X Roads and Iay lorsvill-,
and ball lodged IN his shoulder The
wound is not bad one, aud he came on to
Abingdon the next day. We think il more
than likely that immediate arraDe eenests
will be made to protect the loyal men Of
Johnson county.--AbingSion YTg inidn.

The Battle at Atlanta.
ATLANTA, July 81.

About . o'clock this morning the enemy
attacked our left under Steward with great
vigor. They were received with a CALLING
fire both from artillery and infantry, whirh h
caused them 10 falter, when the order was
given to charge.
Our troops left their breas,works and
charged with great gulantly, driving the
enemy rom two lines Of their entrench-
ments, iuilIcting an immense slaughter, cap
turing large number of prisoners and
twenty y.two pieces Of artillery.
Among the billed of the enemy are Gen.
McPherson, shot through the heart Brig
Gen. Giles A. Smith and the Yankee Gen.
Hood.
Gen Gresham lost q leg. S

Gov SEYMoUR's CONDUCT IN ORG ANIZlsG
THE NATIONAL GUARB.-The Washington
correspondent OF the Boston Tracelier
thinks Governor Seymour of New York is
taking rather mean advantage Of Lincoln
in his distress. While the "rebels" are
holding his head down, it looks TO the cor.
was quietly tying his legs. He says:
Gov. Seymour Is making the General
Government trouble. lie seems to thiak
that the present moment Is his opportunity,
and he therefore orders his District Attor-
ney to execute the laws of the State with
out reference To the orders of the President,
and Gen. Dix il in hot water. The Presi
dent will probably give way, as he did in
the case Of Vallandigham, doubtless being
satisfied that the seizure of the World and
Journal Of Commerce newspapers was n
mistake, But the difficulty is to cxtricate
Gen Dix from his dilemma. lie is held by
the State authorities, and if punished it
will be because hs obeyed the President
IL will be extremely hard, and even COW.
artly, for the Government 20 dsser, him
and il cannot afford Ia do il. Yet Mr.. Lam
coin is greatly troubled upon the subject.
Everybody knows that il Gen. Grant had
succeeded in capturing Richmond Gov.
Seymour would not have taken such dc
iinBt stand against the General Government.
Like all towards, he pats on airs when his
opponent is in trouble. The rebels are
threatening Pennsylvania. New York is
called upon TO furnish twelve thousand
three months men. Gen. Grant needs rein
forcemeuts. A draft il impending. Aud
Of course Gov. Seymour is courageous.

JonS MORGAN AND CLkT's HoRsEs.-A
gent eman from Lexington, Ky, relates an
incident relative to John Morgan. which i,
certainly characteristic of him, whether il
be true or not. After he had stolen the
celebrated race horse Skcedadle, Mr. Clay
started in pursuit with tN o fine anlmnis
worth $500 each, and overlook the free.
bo"t"r. and offered him both together, with
$500, IL he woulI return the racer.
These will answer your purpose Just as
we'll" said Mr. Clay.
John looked at the horses carefully, and
said:
swell, Mr. Clay, they will answer my
purpose as we'll as Skeedadle /; and AS an,
dspos-d to accomm odate you"
Here Mr. Clay's counienance frightened
AS am disros to accom- III odate vsn,
will parliy.comply with ycurTesuest."
Dr. Cky was puzzled.
VI will partly comply with your request
III take these two horses, bYt | can't give
you the other"
MIR. Clay was completely taken aback,
but he was not allowed to get away that
easy. The soldiers took the 5000 from
HIM, and he was compelled to leave for
home on foot, with his pockets empty

THE CURRENCY.-Ourn new Secretary of
the Treasury has commenced his admins
ration by the adoption of Il measure which.
We think, Will improve our currency. lie
has authorized the Depositones /" receive
currency on deposit on call at per cent
interest. 1t has been suggested that our
Banks should now loan al! their surplus
funds to Government, aud utterly refuse to
discoun; for specuiators, and we shall soon
see II fall in prices; or, Nc all events, n check
to any further advance in the necessaries of
life.
IL Congress will amend the Tax Act nj
its next session. so that the tax should at
tach to tie coupons ofth eight, seven and
six per cent bonds. instead of to the bonds
themselves, ~ tie law now provides, The
Treasury'w receive a much larger revenue
from this source We believe large
amount Of the bonds are leaving daily for
Europe, aud nothing bu, taxing the coupon,
will ever enable the Government 10 realize
the tax on the bonds. England, when she
pays the public creditor or holder Of her
bonds, keeps back the amount Of the In.
come Tax. We might advantageously fol.
'1w her example in this matter Charleston
