n our line fronting. Fort Harrison. It has been Grant's practice only to move when about to attack. He moves and strikes without delay. But, twenty-four hours having already elapsed since this last movement, and nothing having come of it, it may be he has tired of his old strategy and is about to try something new. It is also possible the movement was intended to meet some apprehended attack from us; for, be it known, since the recent occasion on which our troops swooped down on Kantz and Birney, and drove them from the Charles City road to Fort Harrison, the Yankees have not had an easy moment, so great is their dread of a repetition of the movement. This we know from Yankee deserters, and also from Yankee pickets, who do not hesitate to declare their apprehensions. The complete and formidable character of our fortifications, running from a point opposite. Fort Harrison north to the Charles City road, may have something to do with Grant's withdrawing forces from their front.

Ten days ago he struck the enemy at Salem, on the Manassas Gap railroad, whipping the Yankee troops, capturing their baggage and trains, and breaking up their railroad-building operations.--The next we hear of him is through the following official dispatch, from which it appears he has suddenly manifested himself at Duffield, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. We give the dispatch: "Headquarters Army Northern Virginia, "October 16, 1864. Hon. James A. Seddon, Secretary of War: "On the 14th instant Colonel Mosby struck the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at Duffield, and destroyed a United States mail train, consisting of a locomotive and ten cars, and securing twenty prisoners and fifteen horses.

Duffield is a station on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, eight miles west of Harper's Ferry. Northern papers of the 15th instant state the funds captured to be over two hundred thousand dollars. From Georgia. The news from Georgia is cheering.--Hood's success so far has been complete. Sherman's communications are altogether destroyed. They are said to have no stock to haul commissaries or artillery, and no railroad. Sherman is beyond the Chattahoochee, cut off from his main army.

te. Fort Harrison north to the Charles City road, may have something to do with Grant's withdrawing forces from their front. He assailed them repeatedly and desperately last Thursday, and must feel convinced they are impregnable. This being the case, any advance for Richmond on the north side of the James must be by some route avoiding these works, which route can only be found by making a circuit of twenty-five miles. He must go back to New Market, and thence strike northeast across White Oak swamp to the Williamsburg road, at Bottom's bridge. He is hardly prepared to make this trip. As everything concerning the Yankees and their operations immediately in front of this city must be interesting to our readers, we may state that they have at length completed to their satisfaction the defences of Fort Harrison, and have thrown into it a garrison of eight hundred men. A number of guns have been mounted on the fort in embrasures, but they have not yet opened upon our lines. Ever
