From Atlanta.

Atlanta, August 6.

--Brisk skirmishing continued throughout yesterday and last night on our left. A. lively artillery duel took place last evening between our batteries on Peachtree creek and the enemy — Comparative quiet reigned in the city last night. The enemy continued to concentrate their forces on our left, Palmer's corps occupying the extreme right, with his headquarters on the Sand Town road and Stally's on the left, with his pickets extending to the Georgia railroad.

About seventy-five prisoners, including a captain and lieutenant, were brought in yesterday and last night.

General Wheeler has issued a congratulatory order to the cavalry on the defeat and rout of the enemy's raiding party.

All quiet save some sharpshooting this morning.
