cannonade was going on the enemy shelled the city vigorously, throwing upwards of a hundred destructive missiles within the corporate limits. The result was some damage to property, but no personal injury was sustained. A deserter reports that Grant has issued orders to one or more corps to supply themselves with three days cooked rations, and intimates that some new movement is on foot. It is conjectured that he has an eye to cutting the Southside railroad; but it is hoped that our military authorities are prepared for any move of that sort. It is considered reliable that Grant is receiving reinforcements, as within the last few days transports have been seen coming up the river laden with troops. Appearances indicate that there will soon be a revival of active operations in front of Petersburg. On Friday night the enemy attacked a portion of the picket line and took some prisoners, causing the pickets to fall back. On Saturday morning fifty-nine Yankees were captured; b

you have the military situation. The month of September will likely witness no grand military effort, either on the Virginia or Georgia military chess-board. Grant and Sherman are, meanwhile, not idle. Their camps are busy in preparation; and, backed by the authorities at Washington, they are making ready to deal us hard knoer example, Hood and Lee can both receive in this way valuable and appreciable reinforcements. Let them be called for at once. Ere thirty days shall have elapsed Grant will receive his drafted or volunteer men. All that Grant expects them to do is to man his already almost impregnable breastworks, whilst his old troops are disengGrant expects them to do is to man his already almost impregnable breastworks, whilst his old troops are disengaged for work on the flanks. Shall General Lee be reinforced by men, or shall this army, worn with the fatigue and exhaustion of a long and bloody conflict, be forced, in the hour of its triumph, to lose the price of victory by a lack of men? Some of the papers are calling for Congress and the Legislature to assemble. If it is m

From Georgia. Macon, September 9. --The Yankees completely destroyed the railroad between Jonesboro' and East Point in their retreat, burning every tie and breaking every rail. The prisoners captured yesterday say Sherman will now reinforce Grant, take Richmond, and finish the rebellion. They also state that one-half of his army will go out of service this month.

Grant, it was alleged, saw this with great distinctness, and hence had spread his nets in such a way that the army, which is the real capital of the rebellion, should not escape. It need not be said that even Richmond has not succumbed to Grant, much less the army, which not only bids him defiance, but is numerically as strong as when Grant first crossed the Rapidan. Grant first crossed the Rapidan. It is the truth enunciated by the Times; i. e., that the fall of this Confederate stronghold or that does not affect the vital energies of our defence so long as the great armies of the Confederacy remain intact. It is this that should engage the swhich the Times confesses would not, if taken, affect the strength of the rebellion. Scott, McClellan, Burnside, Hooker, Grant, have each successively hurled immense armies upon our capital, and have been beaten back as the sea-girl rock beats back
