evacuation. The left of their line, as they would have it, should rest upon the river above, and the right upon the river below the city. It is a fine plan, and would probably half starve the poor of Petersburg if allowed to be successful; but Grant has to consult some one else before he carries it out. It is our opinion that no further advance around the city will be permitted. If Grant persists, he will find unexpected and powerful obstacles in his path, which will make him pause if Grant persists, he will find unexpected and powerful obstacles in his path, which will make him pause if not retreat. An incident. The Express relates an interesting incident of the battle on Friday afternoon. During the progress of the fight, two privates of the Twelfth Virginia infantry--George W. May, company A, and — Miles, company B--started from town to join their command, having their rifles with them. On nearing the scene of action, they were compelled to advance through a thick skirt of woods, when, to their surprise, they observed a party of Yankees coming towards them. The two

The Appeal, upon information derived from an engineer, scouts the idea that Sherman is endeavoring to mine one of the prominent works of defence at the outer end of Marietta street. The distance between the lines is eight hundred yards, and it would take months to perform the work of burrowing thus far. Brigadier-General John C.

Smith's base of supplies, and the fact that it is menaced by a Confederate force may, perhaps, induce the Yankee column now in North Mississippi to return. The Yankee raid in Tennessee. A body of Yankee cavalry, numbering three hundred, dashed into Rogersville, Tennessee, on the 21st, and captured "Hon. J. Heiskell" and other civilians and soldiers. We do not learn that the raid had any other object in view; for after effecting the captures, the enemy retired in the direction of Bean's station. The Mr. Heiskell referred to is doubtless the Hon. J. B. Heiskell, representative in Congress from the First Congressional District of Tennessee. Rogersville is the court-house of Hawkins county. From Georgia.

near Petersburg remains about the same as before reported, matters having been comparatively quiet since the engagement of Sunday. The Yankees still hold the Weldon railroad, and are using all the appliances of engineering skill to strengthen their position. Our forces having abandoned the ground which they gained and held on Sunday morning, and fallen back much nearer the city, the enemy advanced his skirmishers, and on Monday occupied the recent battlefield, threw his pickets forward to Johnson's farm, some distance this side, and Davis's farm — the scene of three battles, in each of which the Yankees were pressed back — is now within his lines. Thence westward across the Vaughan towards the Squirrel Level road, his lines are established and undisputed. The Yankees, as they advanced, have thrown up earthworks, which are only concealed from the view of the Petersburgers by a thin skirt of woods on the Davis farm, while their pickets are within seeing distance of the city, though

a heavy cannonading and musketry fire commenced along the centre and continued for several hours. It is stated that the enemy made a pretty general assault upon our advanced lines, but was successfully resisted in all his efforts. Rumors from Sherman's rear are to the effect that our cavalry, had destroyed the railroad at Acworth, burn the bridge at Etowah, and badly damaged the track from that place to Adairsville. These points are on the Western and Atlantic railroad. Acworth is thirty-fis, doubtless, an exaggeration. The sale of all intoxicating liquors within the limits of Atlanta, except upon an order from headquarters, has been prohibited.
