Over hundred thousand bales Of Cotton are
collected in Augusta. and there is a tremendous
fight going on as to the propriety Of applying
the torch to II, and thereby removing it from the
range Of Yankee cupiiity. The rebel authorities
are strong in favor Of the plan, but the owners
are more strongly opposed 10 ii, and only :, 1000
bales have been put in position by their owners
or the rebel soldiers where they could be de-
stroyed By FIRE without sndsngering the entiro
city Tho rebels are not inclined 70 burn the
town for the privilege Of throwing sEay the
cotton. and 50 it remains there intact and ready
for our occupation, or what is still better, for
transportation to the city Of Savannah, for sale,
as soon as the Government viii pursue sensible
course and the railroads are repaired.
