his advanced position till daylight on the 28th, he would have furnished the Northern journals with a sensation article indeed, and one which would have defeated Lincoln's election, if anything would.

The news is intensely interesting, and most important.--Lincoln, the moment his re-election is assured, has issued his proclamation calling for a million of men to swell his armies. Now, for the first time, begins at the Nortsword, in the heavy hand of the Illinois rail-splitter. Hitherto he has but showed it occasionally in terror; hereafter the Yankee nation are to feel it's edge. Lincoln is dictator — the sword in one hand and purse in the other. He calls for one million men. He does not "call spirits from the vasty deep." They will come. He wil

mac in the direction of Washington. From Manassas Gap Railroad. The enemy removed the rails from the Manassas Gap railroad as low down as its junction with the Orange and Alexandria road. They have now left that section of country altogether. Forrest's operations — destruction of Yankee gunboats and transports and Immense supplies of stores. The following official dispatch was received at the War Department on Saturday: "Tuscumbia, Alabama, November 8, 1864. "General S. Cooper, "Adjutant and Inspector-General: "General Forrest reports on the 5th instant that he was then engaged fighting the enemy at Johnsonville, having already destroyed four gunboats, of eight guns each; fourteen steamers and twenty barges, with a large quantity of quartermaster and commissary stores, on the landing and in warehouses, estimated at between seventy-five and one hundred thousand tons. Six gunboats were then approaching, which he hoped to capture or destroy. G. T. Bea

the six gunboats that he mentions as approaching, he either destroyed or captured. From General Hood's army. From our Southern accounts, the report is confirmed that Sherman has returned to Atlanta with four corps, having been unable to catch Hood. He has in Tennessee, however, a force of about 40,000 men, under Thomas. We may now expect an early advance by Sherman on Augusta or Macon, with a view of forcing Hood to return to Georgia. Hood did not take Decatur, as has been so positively stated, but marched around it and crossed the Tennessee near Tuscumbia. His new base of opeHood did not take Decatur, as has been so positively stated, but marched around it and crossed the Tennessee near Tuscumbia. His new base of operations is near Tullahoma. This is a little town on the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad, about seventy miles from Nashville and a little more than seventy from Chattanooga. Tullahoma is in the edn, Franklin, Lincoln, Bedford and Maury — a rich section, and filled with a brave people. If General Hood can hold the Nashville and Chattanooga road at this point a while, we do not see why he may n

Six gunboats were then approaching, which he hoped to capture or destroy. G. T. Beauregard. Forrest is a trump. Seventy-five thousand tons of quartermaster and commissary stores ! This would almost fill the Capitol Square. General Forrest is the first of our generals who has been obliged to compute by the ton the enemy's stores which he has destroyed. The loss to the enemy in stores, to say nothing of gunboats, transports and barges, is many millions of greenbacks; but even this is not the worst of it. They relied upon these stores to support Sherman's army, and

. Andy Johnson caused the Northwestern railroad to be completed to this place in order to supply Nashville by the Tennessee river whenever the Cumberland should be too low for steamboat navigation. Since the completion of the railroad it has grown to be a place of great importance, being the depot of supplies for Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga and Atlanta. General Forrest attacked the place from above and below at the same time. Having planted his batteries during the night of the 4th, he, the next morning, opened a concentrated fire with eight pieces upon the four gunboats lying at the wharf, which, after an engagement of ten minutes, during which the boats replied vigorously, were set on fire and consumed. The enemy also directed against us a brisk fire of howitzers from their fort. After setting fire to the gunboats, our batteries opened on the transports and barges, which were also soon destroyed. The vast quantities of stores which crowded the warehouses of the pla

ts and barges, is many millions of greenbacks; but even this is not the worst of it. They relied upon these stores to support Sherman's army, and their destruction must very much embarrass its movements. Johnsonville, which is named after Andy Johnson, Military Governor of Tennessee and Vice- President elect of the United States, is on the east bank of the Tennessee river, four miles above Reynoldsburg, and is the terminus of the Northwestern railroad, which connects Nashville with the river at that point. Andy Johnson caused the Northwestern railroad to be completed to this place in order to supply Nashville by the Tennessee river whenever the Cumberland should be too low for steamboat navigation.

t will not be ready for service in this campaign. Therefore, looking also to the matter of reinforcements, Grant's best plan is to go into winter quarters. He has fought it out on this line, and it has taken all summer, and most of the fall also. He has kept his word, though it was uttered only as a sounding boast; and now there is nothing for him to do but slumber on the line during the coming winter. The Yankees declined to exchange papers yesterday, and the pickets in front of General Pickett's line are reported to have said they were ordered to fire upon any of our men that advanced with the purpose of exchanging. Yankee pickets on the same line stated that there had been a great riot in New York city, during which Old Butler had been assassinated. We discredit this absolutely, as being entirely too good, too delightful, to be true. If there had been twenty riots in New York, Butler is not fool enough to expose himself in the streets.

What Grant saw in that advance or "reconnaissance" convinced him that he canno weakened by the withdrawal of a force sufficiently large to render Grant any practical aid, Early will march into Maryland at his pleasure. In view of these facts, we doubt whether Grant can expect any addition of strength from Sheridan. He must look to another draft for reicampaign. Therefore, looking also to the matter of reinforcements, Grant's best plan is to go into winter quarters. He has fought it out on

e Boydton plankroad, he must have lost a good portion of his army. Had he held his advanced position till daylight on the 28th, he would have furnished the Northern journals with a sensation article indeed, and one which would have defeated Lincoln's election, if anything would. What Grant saw in that advance or "reconnaissance" convinced him that he cannot attempt to reach the Southside railroad without either storming our works, putting himself in the dangerous position he occupied on the 27th, or making a detour of twenty-five or thirty miles to the southwest. He may well pause long before attempting either of these experiments. We see nothing better for him to do than to go into winter quarters and await the completion of Old Butler's canal and the return of spring. This would certainly be his wisest course; but it is not likely he will be permitted to adopt it.

my been of late that its existence is, to judge from recent Northern papers, forgotten or ignored in Yankee land. The New York Herald has taken down the great sign "Grant," that used to stare at us in flaming capitals from the top of its first column, and has not a word to throw away upon the Army of the James or the Army of the Potomac. The Yankee nation is busy with a more important affair — President-making. Grant has good reason for his inactivity. He is at his wit's end. On the 27th of October he not only failed to turn either our right or left flank, but was badly cut up, and got himself into such a trap on our right that, but for his hasty midnight retreat from the Boydton plankroad, he must have lost a good portion of his army. Had he held his advanced position till daylight on the 28th, he would have furnished the Northern journals with a sensation article indeed, and one which would have defeated Lincoln's election, if anything would.
