M., reports that rebel cavalry having yesterday made a dash into Wilson's lines, near the Lenny House, Wilson this morning sent out a part of McIntosh's brigade to see where the enemy was.

Gen Sherman reports, and date or half-past 7 o'clock yesterday evening, (19th,) he was mistaken in announcing that Johnston retreated across the Chattahoochee river. He had simply thrown back his flank and evacuated the works in front of Kenesaw Mountain. He still holds the mountain itself, with his flanks resting on Moses creek.

What position McPherson took after the success of his afternoon's work, I am not at liberty to state; let it be sufficient at present to say that he is some distance from the position he held on the 12th. Hooker's operations on the same day — also the other corps. Simultaneously with the movement of McPherson's troops the rest of the corps were advanced — Palmer directing himself towards the enemy's position on Kenesaw Mountain, Howard at Pine Mountain, the other corps filling up the gaps and participating in the general action. Hooker during the day made one of his magnificent assault is upon the enemy's works at the base of Los. Mountain. He soon carried their outer line of rifle pits, and charged with such impetuosity that he was not long in driving the enemy completely out of his first line of fortifications, forcing him up the mountain. In the position taken from the enemy Hooker remained, and after li

om which he can operate against it with the greatest possible incivility. Already, by his great cavalry operations, he has nearly isolated Richmond from the rest of the rebel Confederacy, and every day of every week will see him vigorously pushing on this work, from which we anticipate the greatest results. The aspect of affairs in Georgia is all that reasonable men could possibly hope for. Sherman, in his great advance, has met with no disaster, excepting the momentary repulse at Kenesaw Mountain last week, which has already been more than relieved by the capture of Marietta. --His army is intact, his lines of communication intact, he has forced the enemy from all their strong positions in the mountainous territory, and he has at last got them to a point to remain at which is destruction, to retreat from which is ruin.
