The track has since been repaired, but trains are not allowed to run in consequence of the proximity of the enemy. Unusual quietude prevailed yesterday and to-day along the lines. The enemy's artillery is remarkably quick, which is generally attributed to a scarcity of ammunition, caused by the interruption of his communications. But few shells were thrown into the city last night. One set fire to a frame house in Peachtree street. Loss small. [Second Dispatch.] Atlanta, August 17. --The enemy's cavalry have retired from the vicinity of Fairburn, a portion crossing the river near Campbelton. Trains are running as usual.

From Petersburg. Petersburg, August 17. --Deserters and prisoners brought in to-day concur in the statement that Burnside's and Warren's corps are still in our front here, whilst Hancock's, (Second), and perhaps other infantry, are now operating on the north side of James river. Advices received at headquarters here confirm the defeat of the enemy in the fight yesterday, near White's Tavern, on the north side of James river. Our loss was not very large. Among our losses were Generals Girardey and Chambliss, killed. The fight is supposed to have been renewed, to some extent, to-day, firing being heard in that direction. Official advices from the Valley Department were received at these headquarters up to yesterday. Up to that time no general engagement had taken place. In front of this place nothing of interest is transpiring. Rain has fallen every day this week, which is most grateful to man and beast.

ut with great slaughter, the poor deluded black being the chief sufferer. In our front the fighting amounted to nothing more than very heavy skirmishing and an extremely unpleasant shelling from land batteries, gunboats, &c. At one time during the day it became necessary to move one of our guns some distance "by hand" and in the very teeth of the enemy; This was done under a terrible musketry fire, during which privates M.

Mayor's Court. --The Mayor resumed his seat, yesterday morning, after an absence from the city of several weeks on a health-recruiting tour to the Virginia springs.

From the statement made by Mrs. Farris, it appears that lady broke up housekeeping about the 17th of August, and went to Carroll's restaurant, on Main street, where she was to receive two hundred dollars per month and board for the services of herself, son and servants. After she had been there a few days the prisoner borrowed two hundred and thirty dollars from her, upon the promise to return it next day; falling to do so, she called on him for it, but could not get it, and after urgent protestations on her part that she needed the money, and did not care about any other acknowledgment of the debt, she finally consented to indulge him ti
