It is stated that the Court of Inquiry which assembled at Grant's headquarters, near City Point, to investigate the causes of the terrible disaster of July 30th, has decided that, on account of the illegality of its appointment, it had no power to examine witnesses or go into the merits of the question. The matter has, therefore, been referred back to General Meade, who, it is said, intends preferring charges against Burnside, in which event a trial of that officer by court-martial will follow. One of the Yankee sanitary commission, named Wilson, who was wounded on board the supply steamer D. A. Brown, on James river, some days ago, by rebel sharpshooters, has died of his injuries. The Yankees term this river firing "guerrilla operations;" say that it has become very annoying, and call for vigorous measures to stop it and punish the offenders

ter. The latest Yankee papers stated that Sheridan was moving up the Shenandoah Valley, and it may be that a collision has taken place between his forces and those of General Early From Georgia. At last accounts the shelling of Atlanta continued with unabated vigor. The enemy was massing his troops on the left, but making no effort to extend his right. It seems not to be Sherman's intention to attempt to carry our works by assault, but rather to make a movement around, and endeavor to take Atlanta in the rear. This is what the Yankees call the "pot- hook" method. We have no doubt that General Hood is fully awake to the enemy's plans, and will meet them successfully when the day of trial comes. Sherman and Thomas both telegraphed to Washington that Atlanta would be in their possession before the close of this (last) week; but as the city still stands, hurling defiance at the foe, they will have to telegraph again that they were slightly mistaken in their calculations.

The more probable solution is, tmovement." designed to astonish the world, but which, we hope, may result as disastrously to him as the last Silence with Grant means mischief; and let those who kindly attribute to him the possession of a conscience, quietly await the progress of enorth side of the James, and heavy skirmishing was kept up during the day, with no particular advantage to either party.

red upon conditions not known here. "D. H. Maury, Major-General." Each fresh development in regard to the surrender of Fort Gaines goes to prove that it was an act of cowardice or treachery on the part of its commanding officer, Colonel Anderson, of the Twenty-first Alabama regiment. The fort is a casemated work, mounting some fifty guns, was well manned, and provisioned for six months; and we have the assurance of General Maury that it was in good condition, and that the garrison had suffered but little. All this looks very dark for Colonel Anderson, though there is a vague hope — very vague, we confess,--that when the facts are developed they may justify the surrender and save his reputation. The press dispatches give the enemy's version of the naval engagement off Mobile, copied from New Orleans papers of the 9th. It shows that the Tennessee made a most gallant fight, and even when surrounded by Yankee vessels, and after having been struck amidships by the Monon

"All the particulars of the Fort Gaines surrender known, are that the commanding officer communicated with the enemy and made terms, without authority. His fort was in good condition — the garrison having suffered little. "He made no reply to repeated orders and signals from General Page to hold his fort, and surrendered upon conditions not known here. "D. H. Maury, Major-General."
