roying that between Dalton and Nashville. So timid have the Yankees in their forts been, that much of their cattle has been driven off almost from under their guns. The possession of Atlanta may now be said to be reduced to a cavalry fight about the lines of communication, and Sherman so recognizes it. The recognition, however, comes a little too late. The disaster to Stoneman's raid deprived him of the best part of his cavalry, and now that the time has come for its use, he has only Kilpatrick to rely on to catch Wheeler. This general was started out on that mission directly it was known that Wheeler had left, but, finding pursuit useless, turned his attention to destroying the West Point and Macon lines of railroad running out from Atlanta. While at Jonesboro', on the Macon road, he fell into the hands of both Confederate infantry and cavalry, got thrashed, and made his way back to Sherman after losing heavily.

Whilst there is no foundation for the report that Sherman is retreating from Atlanta, we have high authority for stating that on last Friday night he was engaged in changing the position of his army by the left and centre. His lines are so drawn back that his left now rests on the railroad bridge over the Chattahoochee. There is no change, however, on his right, and he is apparently working his troops in that direction. On the 26th, the date of the last advices, he had no troops nearer than four miles of Atlanta. Prisoners of War. We understand that the number of Yankee prisoners at Andersonville, Georgia, is at present over thirty-three thousand, and more are coming daily. Notwithstanding the prison there has been enlarged, it is still too small to hold the captured Yankees, and another is to be erected on the Georgia Central railroad, near Milton. The prison at Andersonville measures five hundred and forty

sixty and seventy wounded, were brought to this city yesterday from Petersburg. One died on the passage. The rumor that the enemy had landed in force at the White House, on the Pamunkey river, is without foundation. There might have been a small party in the vicinity on Saturday morning, though this is doubtful. An official dispatch, received on Sunday evening, states that there was no enemy there at that time. The Northern Border. We are still without later intelligence from Early's command than that furnished by Northern papers of the 27th, and that is of a very unreliable nature. There had been some skirmishing in the neighborhood of Leetown, thirty miles west of Harper's Ferry, in which, as we infer from the admissions of the enemy, the advantage remained with the Confederates. Although a report of a victory over the Yankees is not confirmed, it is evident from the Yankee accounts that something had taken place which the military authorities desired to suppress.

works at Reams' captured by our troops on Thursday, were very strong, and constructed with much ingenuity and skill. They were built of logs, fence rails and earth, extended on both sides of the railroad, and were protected on all sides, and as they thought, both in front and rear. They are now in our possession, and the Yankees have made no attempt to recapture them. Among the prisoners captured on Thursday are about eighty commissioned officers, including the following: Lieutenant-Colonel T. A. Walker, Assistant Adjutant-General; Major John W. Beattic, One Hundred and Sixty-fourth New York; Major John W. Byron, Eighty-eighth New York; Major John Byrne, One Hundred and Fifty fifth New York; Major Frank Williamson, Fourth New York Heavy Artillery. No officers of higher rank are among the number, though it was currently reported that a brigadier-general had fallen into our hands.
