Serious Railroad Accident. Marietta, Sept. 14. --The train from Atlanta yesterday morning ran off the track two miles above here. No damage was done then; but the train was delayed, and, running out of schedule train time, it collided with a special train last evening near Etowah, killing some fifteen soldiers and wounding forty. The passenger train from Atlanta is delayed here.

spring he would put his army in motion towards the great railway centre at the Confederacy. Can he do more than this now? The district from this place to Chattanooga, fifty miles in width, has been stript of its supplies, and an invading army would have to bring along with it all it required for its support. Grant may make an effort, however, to get possession of Dalton, the point where the Georgia and East Tennessee road unites with the Western and Atlantic road, and even to reach the Etowah river; but there is no reason to believe that he will attempt to go further now. The immediate possession of Dalton was doubtless one of the objects of his pursuit of Gen. Bragg since it would have cut off all communication by railway with Knoxville, and all possibility of succor to Gen. Longstreet. That an effort will be made to capture Long street and his command, there is no room to doubt. At last accounts, the 23d inst., Knoxville was completely invested by the Confederates, who were

From North Georgia. Atlanta, May 21. --By the train from the front this evening, we learn that a column of the enemy crossed the Etowah river, 8 miles above the railroad bridge, yesterday, marching on Marietta, and McPherson, with 15,000, crossed the night before, 12 miles below Etowah Station, to flank our left.--These movements have made a change of position necessary to our army in order to preserve its communication, and the lines have slowly fallen back along the line of the railroad. Etowah bridge was burnt last night. The advance of the enemy in force is become more slow as he recedes from his base. Several days may elapse before a general engagement can occur. There has been no skirmishing during the past two days. Portions of the relief committee, that were in the rear, have returned to Atlanta.

time to remove the women and children showing that they have not forgotten how to commit barbarous acts. The position of Gen. Johnston is reported to be an admirable one for heavy movements, entirely free from most of the objectionable features encountered at Daiton, and not susceptible of being endangered by any flank movement, as would have been the case at any point above. Passengers by Thursday forenoon train from Cartersville report that our wagon trains were ordered forward from Etowah. This indicates that a stand point has been reached. Among the casualties in the 8th Tennessee regiment. Wright's brigade, were Captain Peer and Lieut. Morgan, killed, and Captain Cullum, wounded. Capt. Thomas Henry, of Gen. Maury's staff, son of Senator Henry, was among the wounded of the fight of Tuesday last. He was wounded in the arm and side, not, however, dangerously. Lieut Hudson, one of Gen. Wheeler's staff, is acverely, but not dangerously wounded. The utmost

ire, and on Sunday night evacuated the place with his entire army, leaving only three guns and some stores of meat and corn behind. Early this morning we started in pursuit, and no doubt Joe Johnston is by this time well on his way across the Etowah river. I estimate our losses in our operations in front of Resaca at six hundred killed, three thousand wounded, and four hundred missing. We have doubtless killed and wounded two thousand of the enemy and taken sixteen hundred prisoners. Four he rebels are known to have been killed. Our trophies may be summed up at one stand of colors and seven pieces of artillery, unless the cavalry has since taken more, of which there are some hopes. We can doubtless pursue the enemy to Etowah river with case, as the cars came down to Resaca to-day, the rebels not having injured the railroad anywhere south of Buzzard Roost. Our telegraphic communication is also perfect to Resaca. The rebels have made no attempt to interfere with our com

ters at sunrise yesterday, says that the affair of Wednesday afternoon was handsome. We are having a renewal this morning. During the day firing continued, but was evidently receding from us, and a few guns have been heard this morning apparently at a still greater distance. General Cummings is severely wounded in the breast and arm. General Reynolds wounded slightly. The army was moving up to the field yesterday morning in fine condition. [Second Dispatch.] Atlanta, May 27. --Letters from the press reporter on the field say that the operations of yesterday were confined to skirmishing and the enemy feeling for our positions.--Our right rests on the road from Acworth to Dallas, about three miles northeast from New Hope Church, and extends from the latter point nearly west. The movements of the enemy continue to extend towards our right, indicating a disposition to get near Etowah river and bridge. Firing was heard early this morning, but died away soon.

rtier from Gen Johnston's quarters we learn that the Yankees are entrenching south and east of Peavine and Pumpkinvine creeks. Our forces maintain their positions on the commanding eminences to the north of Altoona, and are entrenched on the crests of the hills to the southeast. We hold the key to the positions the Yankees are monœuvering for, though at present the opposing armies are nearly in the same condition with regard to base. The enemy haul their supplies from Cartersville and Etowah to Dallas, making a line of over twenty miles. Our line is nearly as long, but arranged with the master skill of our great Captain, with a view to securing the best advantages of supply and defence. We look on the arrangement as perfect and masterly as the mind of a great master of war can make it. We are certain, too, that the defence and necessary strategy will foil the plans of the enemy and ruin the foe. His legions are now dismayed at the thought that a dangerous foe is swooping down l

From north Georgia. New Hope, June. 2 --The enemy still remain on our right. There was skirmishing along our right and centre this morning, which still continues. Dallas was evacuated yesterday by the enemy, who left our wounded prisoners behind. The movement seems to have been made hastily. [Second Dispatch.] Atlanta, June 2. --The movement of the Yankee army towards the Etowah river is generally accepted here as a relinquishment of the on to Atlanta movement. The Yankee loss since the commencement of the advance from Chattanooga is estimated in well informed circles at 30,000 killed and wounded, and 15,000 sick, missing, and prisoners. Persons from behind their lines report that no trains have been at Kingston for several days; that the forage is all eaten out, and the country ravaged of every particle of food. Gen G W Smith has been unanimously elected Major General in command of the Georgia reserve troops. Gen Brown is engaged here in prepar

lmost impassable and prevented much movement on either side. We learn that the enemy have their advance line about eight miles North of Marietta. Our army has been gradually retiring before the advance of Sherman. There has been but little fighting to prevent them, our movements being made very leisurely, and the process is apparently one of simple displacement. The enemy has distributed his cavalry, and a large body of troops, through the rich valleys about canton and along the Etowah river. Doubtless they are revelling in that rich granary of the Cherokee country. There is little doubt that a heavy demonstration will be made on our right, and by the mere power of weight alone, may be sufficient to force us back to our defences on the Chattahoochee. We do not see anything very distressing in this. We presume Gen. Johnston has not yet quite got the Yankees where he wants them, and we know that it is only at the point he quits retreating that he begins to be effective by f

From North Georgia. Atlanta, June 10. --The enemy developed in force yesterday in our front at Ackworth and on our extreme right cast of the railroad towards Roseville. There was partial skirmishing in the afternoon in front of Hood's corps. Prisoners report the bridge at Etowah rebuilt by the Yankees and trains running to Ackworth. Sherman avoids any effort to bring on an engagement out of his breastworks. Captured Yankees say he has orders not to risk a general engagement. Gov. Brown returned from the front yesterday, where he has been with Gen. Johnston.
