, Tenth Indiana, captured two 12-pounder guns, with their horses and caissons.--They also took a number of prisoners. The trains run from this place to Chattanooga. Sherman's movements. A letter from General Sherman's brother, at Savannah, says that, on the 26th ultimo, a portion of the army commenced moving. Completion of Butler's canal — the bulkhead blown out--fifteen feet of water in the canal. A letter to the Philadelphia Inquirer, from Butler's headquarters on the 1st, announces the completion of the canal and the blasting out of its upper end on that day. It says: The long-expected blasting of the upper end of the famous Dutch Gap canal occurred at 4 o'clock this afternoon. To effect its removal, it was to be blasted with gunpowder. As a preliminary to this, it was desirable to diminish, as far as possible, the mass of earth to be blown out, and a large diagonal slice, sloping inward, was taken off the top of the bulkhead. It was also detached fr

One thousand Dollars reward. --My woman, Sarah, with two children, left my premises on Monday evening, the 2d instant, about 6 o'clock, and is doubtless either in Richmond or making her way to the enemy's lines. I will give a reward of one thousand Dollars for their delivery to me, or to any jail in the city, so that I get them. Sarah is a mulatto woman; medium size; about twenty-six years old; good teeth; long bushy hair; answers promptly when spoken to; is usually cheerful and polite; nicely dressed, and is an unusually good-looking woman. Her oldest child is a sprightly boy, named Smith, about three and a half years old; the other, a very bushy-hair girl, one and a half year old. A boy named Stephen, hired last year at the Ballard House, left my premises with her. She claims that he is her step-son. George D. Pleasants. ja 4--6t

General Price. --A special dispatch from the Meridian Clarion, published in this paper on Saturday last, stated that Major-General Price died at Dooley's ferry, Lafayette county, Arkansas, on the 1st of December, 1864. A later account states that Major-General Price was at Cane Hill, Washington county, Arkansas, December 3. We are at a loss to know how General Price could be dead on the 1st and alive on the 3d ultimo.

We have received copies of Northern papers of Wednesday, the 4th instant, and the evening of that day. From Thomas's Army. A telegram from Nashville, of the 3d, says that all of Thomas's sick and wounded have been sent back to that place, and that he will soon be heard from in another direction. We find the following telegram: Decatur, Alabama, December 29. --General Steadman transferred his command to the south bank of the Tennessee, above this place, night before last, and threw it quickly upon the town.--The enemy; under Hood, rapidly retreated. Our cavalry, under Colonel Polly, Tenth Indiana, captured two 12-pounder guns, with their horses and caissons.--They also took a number of prisoners. The trains run from this place to Chattanooga. Sherman's movements. A letter from General Sherman's brother, at Savannah, says that, on the 26th ultimo, a portion of the army commenced moving.

rious loss, our forces pressed on, and compelled Johnston to retire within the defences of Atlanta. The trap of which the rebel papers had given us so much warning, as set for Sherman, seems likely to be sprung upon Johnston. The enemy ventured but one desperate effort before retiring to the city. Our forces had crossed the river and entrenched themselves. The rebels gathered up all their strength and summoned all their courage for a final effort. They made three separate assaults on the 20th, without any other result than fearful loss to themselves of over six thousand, and hopeless repulse. This time, for the first since we left Chattanooga, we had the advantage of defences, and our loss was comparatively light, being put at two thousand. "All rebeldom now took the alarm. Faith in their old and honored general subsided, and his series of retreats were considered as the results of an indisposition to fight at any risk of a defeat.--Accordingly, General Joseph E. Johnston w

Later from Europe. Foreign dates to the 22d ultimo have been received. The Pope had written a letter acknowledging the receipt of an address from the Commissioners of the Confederate States in Europe, and announcing his intention to urge peace at all times. The English papers rather have Lincoln on the back over his late message. Advices received in England from Bahia confirm the news of the capture and burning of vessels by the pirate Sea King (Shenandoah). The ship Isabella, from New York for Bremen, had put into Fayal, leaking. Commercial Intelligence.--Liverpool, December 22.--Cotton.--The sales of two days amounted to twenty thousand bales, including twelve thousand to speculators and exporters. The market closed firm, and advancing. Breadstuffs are quiet, but steady. Provisions are dull. Petroleum closed firm. London,December 22.--Consols closed at 89a89 1-2 for money. American stocks are steady.

rebeldom now" (after the battle of the 20th), the Gazette says, "took the alarm and lost confidence in Johnston." The farewell address of General Johnston was dated on the 17th and issued on the 18th of July. The battle of the 20th was Hood's first "killing." Besides, rebeldom never lost faith in General Joseph Johnston. Not to know that Johnston was removed before the battles near Atlanta were fought, is to be in a state of utter ignorance of the whole matter. The Gazette's Friday, the 23d, was the 22d, and the portions of the city that were consumed, while the battles of the 20th and 22d raged, were probably the buildings over which the Gazette correspondent saw the flag of the Union flying when he dated his letter at Atlanta in a "spirit of exultation," two months before our troops entered the city. Miscellaneous. Gold is going up. It was quoted at 233 in New York on Wednesday. The Maryland Legislature meets to-morrow. Doctor Cox, lieutenant governor, now has t

Two hundred Dollars reward. --Ran away from the undersigned, on the 25th ultimo, my negro man, William Melton. Said boy is about five feet eight inches high; gingerbread color, with whiskers; about thirty years old; looks downcast when spoken to. Said negro obtained a pass to go to Mr. Sydnor's, in Hanover county, on the above-mentioned day, and has not been heard from since. I will give the above reward if taken within the enemy's line, or one hundred dollars if taken in ours. John P. Harwood. ja 6--3t*
