Hunting deserters.
--Lieut. Col. G. W. Lee, of Atlanta, has just returned from his deserter hunting trip into the mountains of North Carolina.
He has captured between three and four hundred deserters and tories.
Their leader, Col. Busty, notorious for his during outrages, was said to have about 600 men under him. They were not, however, in a body, but scattered through the country, engaged in their treasonable work of stealing and destroying the property of people and carrying off cattle fattening for our army.
He was a terror to all honest and loyal people.
With 200 men, Col. Lee pursued him and drove him to London, and captured fifty prisoners, among them two Yankee recruiting officers, and about seventy-five fine beef cattle.
We trust that much good will result to the country from the energy and perseverance which have characterized his expedition.
