rning a reconnaissance in front of Mahone and Wilcox near Atlee's, revealed the fact that the enemy had left, moving towards our right. The citizens say they began to move about dark last night, and were moving all night. Their officers and men say they are going to the White House.--They left in their retreat two very strong lines of works. To day nothing of interest has occurred save skirmishing. At this writing there is sharp skirmishing near Galnes's Mill, and some cannonading. Grant, I cannot be persuaded, means a general engagement just yet. He is waiting for the Beast and, Micawber like, for something to turn up. X. A demonstration at Bottom's Bridge. The following official dispatches were received at Gen. Ransom's headquarters last night: Bottom's Bridged, June 2d,4.20, P. M. Major T. O. Chestney: The pickets at McClellan's bridge report a large column of cavalry advancing in the direction of Bottom's bridge. M. W. Gary, Col. Comd'g, &c.

The situation It is evident from the intelligence communicated by both of our correspondence with General Loo's army, that General Grant has no intention to risk a general battle at the present moment. He is gradually moving down to the White House to unite his forces with those of Beast Butler, when, if ever, he may pluck ucannot invest Richmond. There are croakers here, as we suppose there would be in Paradies, who are greatly horrified at the prospect of a sledge. They talk about Grant's "gig-gage," and as they do not know what a gig gage is, they conceive it to be something supremely diabolical and formidable. Let such weak-kneed disciples be at peace. An army which has been so thoroughly whipped as Grant's, is not going to besiege the army that whipped it. It is the beaten army always, not the victorious that is besieged. It would take half a million of men to invest Richmond, with Les's army inside of the works. We feel perfectly secure with Gen. Lee and his army be

From Yankeedom. Mobile, June 1. --A special dispatch to the advertiser dated Stateable, June 1, says that Northern dates to the 28th have been received there. They contain many comments on the late Federal reverses, and prognosticate Grant's success with the new movements. The Metropolitan Record has a summary damaging to Federal pride, and declare that the South can never be conquered, and that their recent success is undeniable. They have already achieved their independence. The Ohio Crisis estimates the loss in by the reduction of labor in Ohio at twelve hundred millions of bushels. The New York Tribunes says that a large number of officers have resigned. Two thousand men were recently drafted in Cincinnati, of whom sixteen signified their willingness to serve.

Deserter. --Between ten and fifteen Yankee deserters came into our lines yesterday and were forwarded to this city. They represent Grant's army as very much dissatisfied, and express the opinion that at least half of them would do as they have done if an opportunity offered.

ng from Tallahassee under date of the 15th instant, gives the following interesting items from Florida: There cannot be many Yankee troops now in Jacksonville. We captured in a skirmish last week seven of their cavalry, or rather mounted infantry, they having dismounted their cavalry there and sent the men to Virginia. The reason assigned by the prisoners was that the old cavalry deserted too often. It is evident that the coast has been stripped of all the veteran force to reinforce Grant in Virginia. Gen P Anderson, who commands the district of Florida, has his army well in hand, and is most right. In the matter of details and furloughs, and means to have all the strength of his command on the spot. The news from the East is that the enemy have landed a cavalry force near camps, and also a force below at Augustine. Their object is to gather up the cattle, deserters, and traitors, and if not soon driven back will prove a damage to us.--A force now gathering will
