A report prevailed among the passengers who came by last night's train that they had abandoned the position which they had gained on the Boydton plankroad. Two hundred and fifty Yankees arrived by last night's train from Petersburg. General Dearing, who was reported killed (and so supposed), was only separated by accident from his command, and eventually returned to it. From the Rappahannock. The gunboats reported to be ascending the Rappahannock river have returned. They did not come up as high as Port Royal. Manassas Gap railroad.

From Tennessee. The Federals have evacuated Cleveland, Tennessee, and vicinity. Prisoners sent North. General Page and a large number of the Fort Morgan prisoners have been sent North from Mobile. From Georgia. There is nothing new from Georgia. Some idea of the celerity of General Hood's remarkable movements may be formed from the fact, that in fourteen days his army has marched one hundred and fifty miles. All the railroad destruction which has been effected was done by only a portion of one corps, which did not march with the main army. There has been no infantry fighting since the attack on Altoona. The town of Resaca was menaced, but found too strongly defended, and was not attacked. In the main army each division drives its drove of cattle before it, and a

It was a detour to avoid our strong line of works, with the hope of forcing our troops back into them, and will amount to nothing more than to extend somewhat their foraging limits. Mr. Brugess was taken prisoner by the Yankees. About dark, the enemy made a feint on our skirmish line in the vicinity of Wilcox's farm. Their attack amounted to nothing. About ten o'clock Thursday night, the enemy made a determined and vigorous onset upon our lines in the vicinity of Rives's farm and to the left of the Southampton plankroad. They were entirely unsuccessful, however, although they massed their columns almost into phalanxes and endeavored to press us back by the sheer weight of their heavy bodies of troops; but this was only productive of more terrible slaughter, the artillery mowing great gaps
