(Prom the Savanoat Republican, Nov, 31.) ‘The telegraph brings us no iaformation of the whore- sbouts sad tntentions of tbe euemy, who aro gatd to pare Jef Atlanta in force some daysago, and reports brong)t Dy Paxseugers and private lettera are go vague and contra tletory that there ls a0 such thing as founding a) toteliigead p'nioa wpoo them, Passengers wo errived from Macoa and potuta on the line of reed this morning say (be enemy's cavalry force encamped tast night within seven miles of Griswoldyilie— the first station south of Macon—and that the main body Of Shermaa’s army was at ® point some twenty-three miles from Milledgertile. It (s also reported that the lat- ter place was boing evacuated by the citizens, The Legis- inture adjourned Friday aight, and the menbers left with some degree of precipitation; some of thom arrived bere last night and some this morning. Flow trae those reports from the enemy may be we have 20 means of knowing, and we candidly state to our readers that we place bat little faith tn aay of them. ‘This much, at least, is reliebie: the enemy, with all arms, but in numbers vot ascertained, but perliaps from twenty to thirty thousand, have set out on thoir grand tour through Georgia to the seaboard. The bert military authority is of the opinion that the move in the direction of Macon is a feint to cover a march of their main body on Augusta, the real object of thelr destination, Mil ledgeville will probebiy be visited by the right wing of their army, and, if unsuccessfully defended, the capital Of our State iaid im ashes. It does not become us to apea& of our preparations for this formidable invasion. Suffice it to say that if the people of Georgia wil only co-operate with the army It will be met andeuccessfully resisted. We bave only to be true to ourselves now to eave the Stete and utterly destroy the invaders; it we fail, from pavic, lukewarm. ness or Other cause, we shall prove ourselves unit to be free, and worthy of (he abolition yoke that awaits ua In this connection we woul ore upen (he miude of our readers the patriotic and earnest appea's of General Beauregard and our members of Congress. Let (he salu. tary advice they give be followed by every Georgian. Those living in the path of the enemy sbould act fail to Durn and deatroy everything that can be of the slightont assistance to theenemy. Nothing oan be lost by it, for if loft every dollar's worth will be swept away by the in. vadera, and it will only subsist and aid them’ in their diabolical designs. Let no mam consent to be their quar- teomaster or commissary. The country thus made deso. late, and the roads and crossings of streams obstracted, the enemy will be delayed to nis certain deasruction, And again: let every man who is able to shoulder a musket tly to the rescue in this time of immiueut peril. Don’t be guilty of the folly of supposing thas ail 1s lost, ‘that we have no army to be brougut t bear aguloss the euemy, and that it is useiess (o poril Mie aud property sa hopeless oxuse. None of there things are trae. We bave troops ample in number whe will be there at the right time and atrike a fatal blow, provided the citizens of Georgia will lo their duty to harage and embarrass the March of the enemy. This is n0 guoss of ours, but a fixed fact. The skies may Wook dark, but the epportunity has arrived for the people to strike a biow that will do more than all othore to end the war aod restore pauce to the country. Dubeloating and greasy laurela, <, Ma. Lincots 43 THe Parnow or Crassieat ACHUMEMENTS.—It is not @ little significant hat the Latin author with whose works bur ilustrious President is known to be moat familiar, and from wlom be quoted bls Res magna cst—“it is ao big thing”-—to Mbe Maryland delegation o few day* *€° | ‘erence, or, more properly, Terentias Afer, Bo African slave, born im the ancient o.'% ‘of Carthage, upon African soil, This Terence, ‘or, as the President more familiarly calls bim, dhis “African poet Terry,” was purchased in the agenian slave market by one Terentius QLuoanus, a rather fishy democratic Roman Benator, who finally became an abolitionist ‘und had to manumit his dramatic chattel in erder to prove the sincerity of his conversion ‘and secure the “Lloyd Garrison vote” of those Boys in his particular district. It fs also not a Little significant, in connection with tho Preal- Went’s partiality to the writings of this African Yard, that Terence, subsequent to his manumis- ‘tion, became the bosom friend, social compan- Yon and political confidant of Cornelius Scipio Africanus Major, who was the first African Major that we read of in connection with the Solored troops of the Roman army. Taking all these facts into account, what could be more happily appropriate for our accomplished and @rudite Chief Magistrate, when speaking of the Abolition of slavery in Maryland, than te quote Ghe words of the redeemed and regenerated @hattel, Terentius Afer, who—though subse- quently acknowledged to be a mau of noble genius—was, in his early youth, held amenable fo all the disabilities of a Carthagenian “Dred Boot” decision? We all remember Mr. Linco!n’s pithy an- wer to the delegation of radical abolitionists who called upon him last July with a demand that he shonld withdraw his acceptance of the Baltimore nomination and cause that Conven- lon to be reconvened for the purpose of nomi- mating General B. F. Butler in his place, as “the Presidential candidate of all sections and Ynteresta in the republican party.” “Gentle- mon,” replied the President, with a twinkle of pure Augustan humor in his remarkably axpressive eyes, “you talk well and patrloti- oally; you talk lengthily and learnedly; but, Sn the words of my favorite Latin poet, ‘I can’t soe it in that light.’ I therefore wish you good @ay, gentlemen, and a safe as well as speedy geturn te your respective homes.” No sooner ves this answer reported than the sophomores tnd empty sciolists of our press raised their ‘asual clamor about Mr. Lincolu’s “vulgarism and slang” in usicg the phrase “J can’t cee it in that light,” quite oblivious of the fact, or fever having known it, that this phrase is 4aken, verbatim et literatim, from ene of the _most admired passages in Terenco’s play of | And what are our Carolina frieuts doing in @he “Andrian,” act third, scene first, line | tis great emergency?
