The rebels were very busy on Saturday constructing entrenchments on the west side of the Chickahominy, at Bottom's Bridge, and towards evening threw a party across to the east side. A dispatch from Gen. Sherman, dated yesterday afternoon, June 5th, at 3:20 at Altoona Creek, states that the enemy discovered us moving around his right flank, abandoned his position, and marched off. McPherson is moving to-day for Ackworth. Thomas is on the direct Marieof the depot at White House, and that it is in a most officiant state, all needful supplies on hand and wagons to transport them easily to the army. The wounded are being brought in and transports are not delayed moment. A dispatch from Gen. Sherman, dated at 12 noon, to day, at Ackworth, Ga., says: "I am now on the railroad at Ackworth Station, and have full possession forward to within one mile of Marietta.--All well.

on either side. We learn that the enemy have their advance line about eight miles North of Marietta. Our army has been gradually retiring before the advance of Sherman. There has been but little fighting to prevent them, our movements being made very leisurely, and the process is apparently one of simple displacement. TheBlair and A. J. Smith, Yankee corps commanders, have arrived at Memphis with parts of their commands, and as soon as the remainder arrives will march to reinforce Sherman. These troops have been drawn from Steel's and Banks's armies, and, so far as morale and du corps. go, will not aid to a very great extent in capturing Atlanta. The movements of the Yankee army are now principally directed against our right, which Sherman hopes either to flank or force back on our centre, thus driving us from the railroad. He cannot succeed. Official information was received this evening that Chalmers, with five thousand cavalry, had marched through Rome, on Calho

From North Georgia. Atlanta, June 10. --The enemy developed in force yesterday in our front at Ackworth and on our extreme right cast of the railroad towards Roseville. There was partial skirmishing in the afternoon in front of Hood's corps. Prisoners report the bridge at Etowah rebuilt by the Yankees and trains running to Ackworth. Sherman avoids any effort to bring on an engagement out of his breastworks. Captured Yankees say he has orders not to risk a general engagement. Gov. Brown returned from the front yesterday, where he has been with Gen. Johnston.

The Tender Mercies of the Wicked. --The Vicksburg correspondent of the New York Tribune gives the following account of the condition of the negroes torn from their homes by Gen. Sherman in Mississippi: Some 3,000 slaves, of all ages and colors, reached here yesterday. It was one of the saddest spectacles witnessed for a long time in Vicksburg. The women and children were almost starved and half naked. Such a terrible picture of abject want and squalid misery can neither be imagined nor portrayed with pen. Many of the women and children were sick with fevers, brought on by the great fatigue and exposure of the long march from Meridian, Enterprise, Quitman, and other places. Will not the friends of freedom and the humane philanthropists of the North come forward at once, and with their generous hands rescue these liberated slaves from premature graves." We learn from the Boston Courier of a later date that the suffering of these poor homeless wretches continued in a
