apt to be pierced by a Confederate bullet, and the same remark applies as well to our side as to that of the enemy. But though matters continue comparatively quiet on the lines, the situation about Petersburg has by no means lost its interest. Grant's purpose, in massing his troops to the left, is known to be the occupation of the Southside railroad, and thus to force an abandonment of the position. This movement may be inaugurated any day, but its success depends very much upon Grant's abiGrant's ability to out-manœuvre a general more skillful than himself at the head of an army which has never yet known defeat. It is, therefore, with feelings of the utmost confidence that the people await the movement that shall be the signal for the terrible trial of arms with which this bloody campaign will close. The Yankees are still laboriously engaged upon their canal at Dutch Gap. A deserter states that when it is nearly finished its completion will be expedited by mining and blowing out the

A deserter states that when it is nearly finished its completion will be expedited by mining and blowing out the ends with gunpowder. Our batteries at Howlett's again opened upon the working party yesterday morning, and doubtless caused them to suspend operations for a period. From Georgia. Accounts from Georgia represent that General Hood's troops are in the best of spirits, and that the fall campaign promises to be an active one. A new strategic movement is on foot, from which the best results are anticipated. The nature of this movement will be made known in due time, but prudence forbids any further allusion to it at present.--Our opinion is that Mr. Sherman will find Atlanta about as disagreeable as he made it to our people when he brought his guns to bear upon the place a few weeks ago.

The following official dispatch was received yesterday: "Athens, Ala., September 24, 1864. "Hon. Secretary of War: "My forces captured this with a large quantity of small arms and two pieces of artillery. My troops are in fine spirits. My loss is five killed and twenty-five wounded. "[Signed] N. B. Forrest, Major-General. Athens is the county seat of Limestone county, Alabama, one hundred and fifty-four miles north by cast from Tuscaloosa, and about twenty northwest from Huntsville. Limestone county borders on the Tennessee line, and is therefore in the rear of Sherman's army. Forrest may be called the "ubiquitous."

Three hundred and fifty Yankee prisoners, including eight officers, captured by General Early forces within the last eight days, reached the city yesterday and were quartered at the Libby. They were brought out of Winchester just in time to escape recapture, and, by way of keeping ahead of Sheridan, were marched fifty-five miles in twenty hours, which may be considered an instance of pretty "tall walking."

The War News. The report of a Confederate success in the Valley is, we regret to say, not confirmed by official dispatches. It was stated by a person who arrived last evening by the Central train that General Early had a fight with the enemy at Brown's gap on Monday and drove them six miles; but we have it on good authority that no regular engagement had taken place — nothing more than some rear-guard skirmishing. The War Department, last night at nine o'clock, had no information of General Early's movements since falling back from Port Republic. About five o'clock on Monday evening a small body of the enemy's cavalry advanced and entered Staunton, the route thither being open and unobstructed, our forces having deflected from the route leading to the place. Of their proceedings there we have no report, the latest intelligence having been brought by persons who left just as the Yankees were coming in.

We first hear of him at the head of a force threatening Memphis, then at Mobile, and then hundreds of miles away, pouncing upon a Federal garrison, and making valuable captures with slight loss to himself. Whenever he strikes a blow he strikes hard, and the enemy hold him in mortal dread. Now that he is fairly on the wing, we shall expect to hear of more brilliant exploits among the Yankees in North Alabama and Tennessee.
