to the command of all the cavalry of the army of the West, giving him, with the consent of General Bragg, the rank of acting brigadier-general. His energy and ability were soon manifest in the organization and increased efficiency of his command. On July 17th, Bragg, about to move to Chattanooga from Tupelo, ordered General Armstrong to advance toward Decatur, Ala., to cover the transfer of the army. With portions of the squadrons and companies of Webb, Barteau, McCulloch, Hill, Sanders, Roddey and Newsom he attacked the enemy at Courtland, Ala., July 25th, and won a brilliant victory, taking 133 prisoners and gaining possession of the fertile Tennessee valley from Decatur to Tuscumbia. His continued successes brought him the warm congratulations of General Bragg. In August, 1862, he was sent with about 2,000 cavalry to make a demonstration in west Tennessee in co-operation with Bragg, and preparatory to Price's advance. He crossed the Hatchie river, passed between Jackson and

City Council. --A regular monthly meeting of the Council was held yesterday. Present--Messrs. Saunders, Anderson, Denton. Griffin, Scott, Graitan, Crutchfield, Burr, Hill, Haskins, Richardson. Absent — Glazebrook, Roddey, Talbott, and Greaner. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Col. Haskins, from the Commissioners of Streets, reported in favor of giving William Ready the contract for indexing and numbering the streets, in accordance with the plan of the City Engineer. Mr. Scott opposed the report, first, because he did not know that the Council had the right to compel citizens to put numbers on their houses — and, second, because a citizen of Richmond, who desired to propose for the work, had been denied the privilege of doing so. Mr. Denton thought Mr. Ready was entitled to the contract, and that the Council should give it to him, if it had the right to require citizens to number their houses. After further discussion, on motion of

Attempted suicide. --A servant girl named Frances, hired to Capt. George H. Tompkins, attempted yesterday evening to commit suicide by shooting herself through the body with a pistol bullet. She was induced to commit the deed because her brother had chastised her for some immoral conduct, which he had discovered she had committed. Drs. Roddey and Welford were called in to attend her, and found, on examination, that the ball had passed through the abdomen and lodged in the back so as to be perceptible to the touch. She will no doubt die.

Atlanta arrive and depart regularly on time. Affairs there wear the usual aspect. The shelling yesterday did no damage. The Yankees have apparently abandoned their advance across the Georgia Railroad and are massing on their centre and right, endeavoring to work down between the city and the river. The raiders who cut the Macon and Weston railroad were driven towards Newman by Jackson's and Harrison's cavalry. Their advance reached Newman just after the arrival of the train carrying Roddey's command to Atlanta. He attacked them in front, and the pursuers coming up, the Yankees broke and fled, leaving about 800 prisoners, all their artillery, six pieces and 700 horses, in our hands. The rest sought to escape across the Chattahoochee, and it was supposed they would be taken. Three pieces of artillery, taken from Stoneman, have been brought here Six hundred horses and eight hundred mules are reported to have been captured from the same. Governor Brown left this mornin
