From Georgia.

Macon, September 9.
--The Yankees completely destroyed the railroad between Jonesboro' and East Point in their retreat, burning every tie and breaking every rail.

The prisoners captured yesterday say Sherman will now reinforce Grant, take Richmond, and finish the rebellion. They also state that one-half of his army will go out of service this month.

Our pickets extend six miles beyond Jonesboro'

The enemy are closely massed about Atlanta.--There is not the slightest prospect of an early resumption of hostilities.


[second Dispatch.]

Macon, September 10.
--The Chattanooga Gazette of the 6th instant says that Wheeler's forces have been dispersed, near Tullahoma, by Steadman.
