re was some picket firing and mortar shelling yesterday, but with this exception everything continued quiet at the front. The enemy evidently apprehend an attack upon their right, which rests upon the Weldon railroad, and maintain the utmost vigilance in that direction. Nothing, however, has yet occurred beyond the incessant interchange of compliments between the sharpshooters of both armies, and the occasional artillery ducts, which are more noisy than destructive. There are reports that Grant is receiving reinforcements, and we would not be surprised if this were true. It is believed by well-informed persons that stirring scenes will soon be enacted in front of Petersburg. The late Raid. We learn from a citizen of Orange county that the raiding party of cavalry which lately appeared on the Orange and Alexandria railroad was seven hundred strong. They came in great haste and retreated as hurriedly, doing but little damage beyond partially burning the railroad bridge ove

From Georgia. --The latest letter from Macon says: "Refugees report that Sherman's army is going North by thousands, and his force is now very small. Whether this movement is confined to men who are going out of service or embraces reinforcements to Grant, they were unable to say. "The Yankee prisoners are being moved from Andersonville at the rate of about three thousand per day, and are being sent to Savannah, Charleston and Columbia.

been greatly in our favor. We have frustrated the most tremendous combination ever formed against any modern city, and in frustrating it, have slain or wounded, or otherwise put hors de combat, at least two hundred thousand men, of which number Grant himself lost, under his own immediate eye, at least one hundred and fifty thousand. That general himself acknowledges that he has been awfully beaten when he calls for one hundred thousand fresh troops to finish the job which he expected to fini of blood.--Those are the very objects for which all commanders seek overwhelming numbers.
