rteen gunboats and transports at Port Royal. An official dispatch, received at General Bragg's office, in this city, on Thursday night, states that our forces had engaged and routed the Yankees at Grahamsville. South Carolina, driving them five miles; the Yankees leaving their dead and wounded on the field.--The force here mentioned as routed are believed to be the same who were landed at Port Royal. Their object, doubtless, was to march into the country and either effect a junction with Sherman or produce a diversion in his favor. The Yankee in command of this expedition was, we think, General John H. Logan, formerly of the Tenth corps. Though the dispatch above mentioned does not mention the fact, we are inclined to believe that General G. W. Smith commanded our forces. Grahamsville is thirty miles northeast of Savannah.

Hood's movements — alarm at the North. A reported repulse. The movements of General Hood in Tennessee are creating as much anxiety at the North as those of Sherman are at the South. The Herald is out in a long editorial, warning the Yankees against believing that Hood's march is as successful as Sherman's, and denouncing thSherman's, and denouncing those who express that opinion.

A letter from Nashville says: Since Hood's occupation of Florence he has been resting his army, gathering in supplies, and awaiting eventsdislike the appearance of the retirement of Thomas as Hood advances. But no fact can be more positive than that there is no reason in this for the least alarm.

Sandersville on Friday between Wheeler's forces and the enemy's cavalry. The enemy were driven back on their main body. The best reports we have place the main portion of the enemy near Sandersville, in Washington county. Sandersville is a few miles north of the Central road. Wayne is reported as having retired to No. 10, on the Central road. Hardee's vigilant eye is looking after things in that quarter, and we have no fears for the result. "Old Reliable" is too well informed on Mr. Sherman's tactics to be outwitted by him. He is one of the most vigilant and energetic officers in the service, and knows how and when to operate. The enemy's position is becoming developed at last. We will soon have full knowledge of his whereabouts, and we have not a doubt of our ability to punish his temerity. The Savannah News of the 28th instant gives some additional particulars of the fight and repulse of the enemy at Macon: On Sunday, the 20th instant, at three o'clock P.
