ch from General Hood was received at the War Department yesterday: "Lovejoy's, September 5, 1864. General Bragg: --The enemy withdrew from my front in the direction of Jonesboro' last night. [Signed]. J. B. Hood, General." From Tennessee. The Northern papers inform us that a rebel force was threatening Nashville, and that the Yankee General Rousseau had started out to meet them, and had driven them three miles towards Murfreesboro' Parties from Franklin, Tennessee, represent that town is in the hands of Wheeler's forces, he having captured it on the night of the 1st instant. From Charleston. On Friday last, the four hundred and twenty-second day of the siege, the enemy's batteries fired seventy-eight shots at Fort Sumter and forty at the city. Our batteries promptly replied, firing some fifty-seven shots. The Yankees made another futile attempt on Friday night to blow up Fort Sumter, the torpedo exploding about three hundred yards from the fort.

tied up in a reclining position, the lower part of their shoulders exposed, the higher and lower part of their backs being protected by padding. The warders, Hodgson and Allison, executed their task with the skill of more practised hands. The officials of the goal were present, but the prisoners were kept in their cells. Hodgson and Allison alternately inflicted ten lashes each on each of the prisoners. The first lash was received with comparative equanimity by each prisoner; but on the second, the yell of deep and excruciating agony which burst forth is represented as indescribable. Their cries continued during the whole of the punishment, and these, together with the sight of the flying flesh and blood, the mangled backs of the sufferers, and the clotted skeins of the cat, made up a spectacle of horror overpowering to those who witnessed it. When the punishment had been inflicted, the prisoners were taken down and removed to the prison infirmary in a state of complete prostrat

Arrest of a horse Thief. --On the 2d instant Mr. John C. Wynn, of New Kent county, had stolen from him a very fine horse, and receiving information shortly afterwards that the theft was committed by two white men hailing from Henrico county, named George W. Allen, Jr., and Woodson Jones, he procured a warrant for their arrest, which was placed in the hands of Constable E. W. Robinson, of Henrico, for execution. Taking the matter earnestly in hand, Constable Robinson immediately set about to find the thieves, and, as is usual with almost every case he undertakes, his efforts have been crowned with success. Jones was arrested yesterday afternoon, and Allen's whereabouts are well known, so that before this notice reaches the public eye he also will probably be in the clutches of the law. Mr. Wynn's horse has also been recovered. It was found in the possession of Mr. Richard Reins, of this city, who purchased him from Allen and his companion, upon the representation that the

th. The nomination of General McClellan for the Presidency has produced intense excitement among all classes at the North. The Democrats generally are in cestacies, while the Republicans seem to regard it with some apprehension. The New York Herald advises the former to keep cool, and says: We are now on the eve of two State elections which will throw much light on this vexed question of "the succession." Vermont will vote for State officers four days from now, and Maine on the 12th instant. If the Republicans increase, or even hold the majorities by which they carried those States in the two preceding years, the prospects of the Democratic Presidential nominee will be seriously, though not perhaps hopelessly, clouded; while if the Democrats can carry, or even go close to carrying, one or both of these Republican State strongholds, the shoddyites and horse contractors may at once begin paying their homage to General McClellan as "next President of the Union."

Columbia, South Carolina, September 1; 1864. To the Editor of the Richmond Dispatch: Sir: In the editorial of your issue of the 19th ultimo, which has just come under my notice, you have represented Mr. Juhan Allen--recruiting for the Federal army in "Holland, Belgium and the rest of Europe,"--to be a Pole. Allow me to correct this mistake. The Mr. Allen you refer to is a Hungarian. He was colonel in the Hungarian army; came to the United States in 1859 with Kossuth as a member of his suite; and since then remained, and lived, in New York. As to his name, "Allen," (upon which you comment that it has "an unusually small stock of consonants for one of his race,") it shows him to be a Hungarian of the Magyar race, or a descendant of those Huns who, in the ninth century, invaded and conquered a part of the ancient Stavonia and established the modern Hungarian kingdom. "Allen" means in the Magyar language what "hurrah" means in the English, or the "yell." of the Confede

Six hundred dollars reward. --Ran away from my stables, on the night of the 28th ultimo, my two Negro men, named Albert and Henry. Henry is about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, about five feet six inches high, black, and stammers very badly when talking. Albert is about twenty years old, five feet seven inches high, bright mulatto, with smooth face and very large feet and hands. I will pay the above reward for them, or three hundred dollars for either one, delivered to me at my stables, on Franklin street. They are evidently making their way to the Yankee lines. James C. Johnson. Virginia Stables, Franklin street, Richmond, Virginia. se 3--10t

Can the war go on ! [From the London Morning Post, July 28.] On Monday night Mr. Lindsay inquired if it was the intention of the Government, in concert with the other powers of Europe, to use their endeavors to bring about a suspension of hostilities in America, and Lord Palmerston replied that, in the present state of things, it was not thought there would be any advantage in such a step. This incident forces us to ask how long it is really probable that this impracticable, aimless, hopeless war will last. Is it all likely that it will survive the present campaign? It cannot seriously be supposed that the Northerners will go on fighting forever at the cost of national bankruptcy and universal ruin and the desolation of their homes, not only without any tangible profit or advantage at present, but even without any prospect of possible benefit in the future. We speak of the desolation of Northern homes, because, as the loss in killed and wounded is at least thrice as great on
