The capture of Major Edgar Burroughs, the partisan ranger, is announced in a letter, dated Norfolk, the 4th inst.

Wise for the State Convention, which was held in the spring of 61, as the "immediate secession" candidate. He is a Methodist preacher, and is said to possess great wealth.

Polk remained quiet, Gen. Hill moved on to Lafayette, and Walker and Buckner continued in the same direction, wading slowly through the dust which, ankle deep under foot when disturbed by the tread of so many thousands of men and horses, floated up in a dense, hazy, yellow cloud, which completely obscured the troops from view and choked them almost to suffocation in the evening it was reported that a considerable force of the enemy, supposed to be a portion of Thomas's corps, had emerged

Forrest, Pegram, and Armstrong, had with a small force of cavalry been bravely contesting his advance, but still he continued slowly to progress.--The plan here indicated was immediately determined upon, and the next day, (Saturday, the 12th,) General Polk was ordered to move his corps and Walker's division to Rock Spring, about midway between Lafayette and Lee and Gordon's Mills, and fail immediately upon Crittenden, whose forces, it will be borne in mind, were not concentrated, a portion having gone in the direction of Ringgold. Generals Cheatham and Walker left Lafayette at noon, and General Hindman at night. Gen. Polk reached Rock Spring at dusk, and during the night reported to the General commanding that the enemy was in

the Retreat Upon Dalton in November. [from our own correspondent.] Dalton, Ga., December 5th, 1863. The fall campaign in Northern Georgia has closed, and with it the career of Gen. Bragg as chief commander of the Army of Tennessee. The occasion presents a fit opportunity to pass in review the military operations in this quarter, commencing with the evacuation of Chattanooga on the 7th and 8th of September, and closing with the retreat of the Confederate army upon Dalton on the 27th ult. This task I now propose to undertake, not in the interest of any leader or faction, but in the interest of history, and to the end that truth may be established and justice done, as far as human frailty will admit, to all concerned. The campaign just closed constitutes one of the most interesting and important passages in our whole struggle; and while I cannot hope to escape error in the effort to gather up the materials which are necessary to a correct understanding of it, and which now
