We aie indebted to th Espreit for tho follow
particulars of tha l.ao operatlsti) Ixiiorc

Un Frii ay an cnttro corps of Infan'ry, well
supplied w ill) artillery, fell upon our works on
Mr. William Peebles' f .rm, "ipiirtvl Level roid,
a lude and a half west of the enemy's original

a si arp engagement, in d sloduiug our troops.
fori Jdcit ic unci a poi tin of the. lino ol Ire i' t
works aujaucnt to it led into tbeir hands, wi li
ono plcie of aitillcty and a few pri.ouurs. A
bt ioi luil i was made, but the Yankees soon ad
vanced again, in the ilircetiou ol the llnyJton
Flank road. They swarmed over Rous sim it's,
ig.ainV, Itoswell's, and Jones' furms, but wuvs
sun k on tho lavtor by our forces, aud cbe ked
in their career. II it'le was here joined, and the
coiilident enemy, meeting more than bis niatcli
was forocd luiek lu iha direction of the c:ip:urcd
works, with tevcru luts in kilkd, wounded, and
prfoneis
Tbe cmiuy's dead and wounded fell into our
hands, U gulicr with no irly twelve hundred pri
soners, talun by our infantry and cavalry con
jointly, lu th s ta'tlc the Yankco loss is said to
have bet n vt ry hirjre, their dead and wounded
cSYtring the fields of their retreat.
Ou Suturduy, tho enemy's advance was c.uly
driven buck by our infantry, who, during tho
charge, captured about two hundred and lltiy
prisoners, and an aMiult was made Uon tho
lorllntxl posnion ou rcehiee luriu. it was, un
fortun tely, repulsed. Our loss, we ore glwl to

a portion of bis command was attacked. This was
about 4 o'clock 1. A., mid tho discharges of

were compelled to rutiru slowly t but reinforce
nirnts coming up, they rtt-lorined, and lntura
drove; the cueuiy 10 tbeir works, rapturing two
hundred priHHitis, und otherwise kullicling
severe loss.
Buturduy closed with Ihc enemy lill in posses

The truck destroyed by (ieneral Forrest is a
poitionof tbe Cetiti'al Southern railroad, which
connects Nashville with the Memphis and
( Inn li stun railroad at Driutur, Alabama. From
Dtciitur to l'uhiski, Tenncsee, the distance is
shout buy liiihs. Klk IUdge U about filteen
miles north of Pulaski, and, according to the
Yankee uccoui t. wu evacuated atilay ligtit on tbe
n.oining of the 2tiih. Tho evacuation of the po-t
exp'ains the statement or (em ral rorrest that lie
elh ccd its citpture w ithout the loss of a man.
We presume that onlv a small porticn of bin
firrowns temtolvk Hid go, us he reports that
on the evening of the '27th, alter lighting tho
enrmy (the main hod) ) a. I tlar, he drove them
Into their fortiticntions at Pulaski. Pulaski is a
town of ftiinc twelve hundred Inhabitants and is
Hxiy-fi nr miles southward of Nashnllo. It is
ninr y in the Fame latiitiule with Dccrford, on
tbe Jiushvllle and Chattanooga railroad, and is
distant fiom tbat place about titty miles.
We mention this tact hi cause it Is more pro
I utile that (ieneral Forrest will proceed across
the country to that point fO us to cut tho remain
ing line ol nii rouil tiniimunieii ion between Sher
man anil Nashville, itiun risk an attack with
Ki'iisscnii in bis strongly fortitied position at
Fultitki. Ho may strike the railroad at a point
neater lSushville. U is already reHirted tha'. he
bus captured Shelbyville, Tenii. ; but of course
ibis le premature.

he was close upon their rear ut Alatoona. Have

low ci ui.Ns : It would have g'addenod my
heart to have met you in prosperity, instead f
adversity. Put fiieeds ure drawn together In
adversity. Tho son of a Georgian, who fought
through tho first Revolution, I wonlel bo untrue
to myself if 1 should foigct the Mate in her day
of peril.
What though mlsfoiliine 1ms befallen our arms
from Dce atur to Jonesboro, our cause is not lost.
Sherman cannot keep up his long line of com
munication and retrear. Sooner or later ho
must; nnd when that day comes tho fite that
befell ihc army of the l 'n iich empire hi Its retreat
from Moscow will he reacted. Our cavalry atd
our people will harass and destroy bis army u
did tho Cm. in ks that of Napoleon ; nnd the
Ynnkeo Genera1, like him, will escape with only
body guard.
How can this I e the most speedily etfeetcd ?
I'.y tho absentee a of Ho id's army returning to
tin ir pu ts ; ami will tiny not ? Can they sou itiu
furnished exiles; can they bear the call of their
sutliring country women and cbiielron uud not
eooie ? lly what Influences they are made to stay
sway It is not necessary to speak. If thore is ono
who wilt stay away at tins noitr no is un.vortuy
the inline ot ucorgiuu. lo tno women no
iilieal is necessary. They arc like the Spartan
n o l,. rs ol old. l know ot ono who lias lost an
lit r sons, e xcept one of eight years. Sho wrote
that she wanted iiij to reserve ti plaee for him lu
the ranks.
The vctiervblo (Ieneral rolk, to whom I read
the letter, km w that woman well, and Slid it was
ebsriieteiiHile ol her; but I will not weary you by
turnii ir uslile to relate thu vauons ineuiuntsot
civil g up tlio last ionlollie cause' oi our c mniry,
known to me. Wherever wo ge we find the he m ts
snd bunds uf our nohie women ciristcd. Tuoy
are mil wherever tho eyo may lull or tho step
urn. They have one du'y to perioral ; to buoy
up tl.o bearts of our puopiei. I know the elecp
displace lelt by (eorgiu i our army falling back
f.om pultcn to the Interior of the Hrato.
llut I was not ol those who con-uleroil Atlanta
lost when our army crossed tho Chstuhoocfiee.
Involved that n shouPl not, anil 1 tiicn pin a
ninn in cominanii who i anew wouiu siriao a

lo uisiisi r. la-'l eue ueau uiei y i'io .:e.n. i,i;i, u.,
with out arm and one ell irt, endeavor to crush
Sherman. I am going lo tho army to confer
with our Generuls. lho end must botncuere.it
of our enemy. ,
It bus been said lllttl 1 ananiionea uonrgin lo
lier late. Shame upon such talsehnnd ! Where
coiilel the author have been when Walker, whou
Polk, snd when (ieneral Stephen u. l,eowas sent
to l.er t-lsanrc! .Miscraoio mau: iiiu m,iu
who utte reel this was a seouiulrei. lie was not u
ninn to tnve our country. If I knew that u
(iei e rs 1 did not laitsessthe light epuiltues tocoin
uiund, would 1 not be wrong if he was not
rmiovci.". Why, when our army was falling
bock from Northern (ieoigia. i even neara inai i
bad se nt lirugg with pontoons to cross it to Cuiiu.
llut we must bo chai .table. The man w ho can
srci ulate ought to bo made to take up his musket.
When Ihc war Is over mm our luuepenueuce

who will bo onr aristocracy ? 1 hope the limping
soldier. To the young laeiies i wotuu say met

Lit the old mtu remain at nome ana niaieo

man keeping away from the service, who csuii it
be mudc to no any other way, let them wriio to
the Fxecutive. i rend ull letters se:it me from tho
people; but have not the lime to reply to them.
You have not inany nteu between eighteen and
loriy-live lilt. Tho boys, (iod bless thj boys,
arc as rapidly ns they become old enough going
to li e held. The eiiy of Macon is tilled wills
stores, tick ami wounded. It must not be aban
doned wheu threatened; but when Ibe enemy
come, in-tedd ol calling upon liooJ's army for
defense, the old men unist light; nnd when tho
enemy is diiven heyontl Chattunoogi, they too
can join in the geuciil rcj'.icieg.
Your prisoners ure kept us a sort of l ankoe
capital. I have hc.ird that one of their (iennrals
s i, that their exe-hunge would defeat Sherman.
1 1 nve tried every means, conceded everything
to edi ct an exehuntre, but to no purpose. Hutler,
the be-ust, with whom the Commissioners of F.x
cbanec would bold inlerc mrso, had published
in tbe newspapers that if wo would consent
to tho excluiiiee of nojroes, all dillUulties
might be leuiovtd. This he reported as an
elb.rt of his to get him.-eif whitewashed
by holding lntercoiir-e with iieutiemeii.
Tt tin exchange could be cllec cd, 1 don't know
but that I Blight be induced 1 1 recognise llutler.
lint in tbe liit iio eve ry ell'ort will be given, ns bit
as OMible, to clhct the end. We want our sol
diers in tl.o field, and we want the rick und
wounded to return hon e. It is not proper for
nio to spc.-k of the nnmbcrof men in the field,
but this I will say. that two-thirds of our men
lire absent, some sick, some wounded, but most
of them absent without leave, iuo man wuo

Tun Tax on Hiofs ami I.i;Tiirn. A recant
decision by the Internal Revenue Department
states that tanners in the country, who receivo
hides from merchants lu cities to bo tanned on
loniinl.'Si. n, are liable, under the act of June 3D,
ISM, to return all filch leather, and pay tho duty
thereon, w hen it h aves their tanneries and ceases
li bo nnilcr their custody or control. In such,
cases the vuloo Is to bo estimated at tho averae;.!
ed the niailct vu'ne at the tune when the s cino

win re the prices cm rent give the value every day,
the ti uric r i nn have no practical U tllciiltv In estl
liuitii r lis value, nna ho is as competent to tlx
such value as il e inspector is. If tho merchant
is the owner of tliu lannciies, and hires his cm
plnvecs to do the turn ing, then he is tho m inu
tacttiri r, and w ill not he liable t j pay tbe tax
until he bos etlictcd sales, or rwinoveit it ror con
Mimiiiion or delivery to others than his agents.
In n mini to leuther manufactured nil r to
June 3i, the same rule will apply In determining
its linbiliiy to tho increased tax imposed by the

roturnable to the assessor from month to mouth.
That is. nil leather received and inspected during

iiiK to the. mtes ot duty lixed by tno nu law.
if in any case the assessor re-quired the tanner
to make his icturns according to tbe inspector's
weights, aud from a tailuro to receive such
wciiilns, tho tanner was unable to make, returns
ol leather forwarded from his Hennery during tho
month of June, on orbelmv July ID, the increased
rates ot tux should not be assessed.

was delivered at the F.loctrical Institution of

iricity. ty Invitu'ion, last evening, a very able
lecture whs delivered by Professor Holler to a
largo nnd highly appreciative audience. Tho
lecturer i xnliiineel Bt lencth the mode of treat
ment ihrottrh the poweritil agency of electricity
and whv it should bo fnoro ellectlve than tbe
treuimi nt resorted to by ordinary physicians. Its
t Heels upon the human frame are miraculous, and
in nil eases where vitality enough is Islt to react,
a speedy cure, it It claimed, can be effected. Th
reason given lor tbo repealed failure of tbe old
medical systems of practice, is that the diseases
have their orion in ibe pelvic viscera, and enn
liot lie reached under such treatment. Kloctrielcy,
when applied to sue h cases, would work aston
ishing results.
'1 he lecture last evening was must able iiideeel,
and contained ninny murostiiig cxplsuaiions in

FINANCE AND COMMERCE
Owes or T nvr-mre Tnimn, I
rntucs, ooteksr I.
The new bull movement In stocks is btghtiins
to develop Itseir, and, In New Y .rk especially,
shows great strength. Thousands of shore
change hands hourly, and to large are the treat
actions on the street, beyond the printed sale,'
tbat we hear of one bear opemtor who sold 10,009
shares of Erie alone, seller thirty days. Frosa
this some idea may bo formed of the character
and strength of the fight now going on between
the bulls and bears for the snprem icy. We think
that the "heaviest artillery" is on the side of tha
bulls, who deserve success for tbeir manliness in
coming forward with large means to pre rent
panic at this crisis. Of eoerse there are many
persons who would be glad to see a financial
crisis just now, that the Government might be)
embarrassed ; but the vast body of the people)
would be the sufferers. , ,
Lost evening, at the Flfh Avenue Board, (hsf
market was very stormy. Illinois Central sold np
to 1 18, a rise of & per rent. ; Erie at 94. a rise of 2
per cent. ; Eesdlng, 1231-or 61 J, -and the whole)
list was firm at advancing prices. Gold was)
higher, selling at 97. It ts stated, in welUn
fotinrd circles, that the rise in gold, )ust ow4 lsl
based npon Saturday's demand for European
shipment. It Is stated that some of the Geraa&a
bankers who bought onr cV20s when gold was
selling at 275, are now reselling them here, wUk
gold at l'.)o. This would be a very nice financial
stroke for Mciuhecr, and we have nodoabtthat
to tha remittances of tho proceeds of the tale)
of these 5-20s we aro Indebted for the present
Hurry in gold. After thil speculation, we shall
no doubt have large European ordort for one
Government securities, whenever gold again
crosses 200 ; for parties abroad can make a very
handsome operation by shipping crn here, Sell'
ing it at the high figure, buying Government
securities with the proceeds, and when Oar vic
torious armies again kno.k down the price oC
gold, they can sell out ft-20s and take their cobs
home again. A very nice littlo gamble, which
even John Bull will be having a linger In shortly I
turly as he is towards as, he loves Jonathan'
money. ,
The market before board opened rampant, Willi
lurge tales of Reading at U2.1, the New Yorker
the buyers in this market. The demand for thiol
security grows as the price advances, and tha
public begin to send in tbclr orders to the com
mission houses ; but as yet the princljnl demanel
is by the large party in the stock who take' the
cash certificates quite freely. o
In New York before board the street w is very
much excited, snd in Brie and the New York
shares Ihc demand was very heavy for the cash
stock. The shorts arc luking ths alarm, and th
weaker brothers are trying to cover their con
tracts as rapidly as possible, la the face of the)
ruin which begins to stare them In the (ace. , A
a large amount of ' Sccesh" mo icy ts supposed to)
have been employed In the effort to break djwa
prices, we hope the punishment will bo severe.
Gold has advanced 8(10 per cent since ' last
evening, opening at 198; advanced and soUfat
l'J9 ut 11 o'clock i 204 at 12 ; and 20,5 at 124, with
considerable speculative activity. ' j . '
