e last. The movement was conducted in a successful manner characteristic of Gen. Johnston. Gen. Hardee's Corps, though in some places not more than 40 or 50 yards from the enemy's lines, did not begin to move until just before daylight yesterday, and the movement was conducted so quietly that the enemy was not aware of it until the evacuation was completed. Not a gun was fired along the line during the night except from Kennesaw Mountain. About sunrise the enemy hoisted their flag on Kennesaw. An hour or two later they advanced, leaving Marietta to the left and passed the rear of the Military Institute, when our cavalry commenced skirmishing. A brigade of the enemy this morning attacked a small force of 100 dismounted cavalry and were compelled to retire. We captured 30 heavy rifles, a few prisoners and horses. The enemy have been feeling for our position to-day, and considerable skirmishing has taken place, mostly along the trenches in front. [Fifth Dispatch.] Chatta
