Arf vifts at D.u.ton. —It' pi iv»tu . letUys from
the front beeyrreot, a most interesting :tn«l d«s
jwraite'ganth oTstrategy. has be«r jrrdng- an in the
past two or three days, which probably found.its
resolution yesterday ,or will find it within a few
hours. The movement of Hooker's Corps by way
of Villanow, through Snake Creek Gaps if at First 1
intended by the enemy ns an isolated raid in
Johnston’s font to take possession of Resaca and
destroy tho U..Uaoatjla liridgo, uo longer main
tains that form.
Immense columns of- the enemy with their
trains of artilleav hull wag mis. were on
plunging down tho yalley, jvfst i.f the Ohattoogata
Ridge, and entering by Snake Oroek Gnj>‘, the
plateau west of Puasaea and the line of the rail -
road, and j4niDgjHftpker’a already there.-r
This Gap has been left open to tho enemy for a
number of days. It. is seventeen miles southwest
of Dalton, and the next Gap above it, in the same
Ridge, is Dug Gap which wc hold, ami where the.
enemy .has made repeated assaults in vain. Dug
Gap is about four miieJsoiilh-' west of Dalton.
It will thus be seen that the enemy has trans
ferred the bulk of his forces- from our right and
front Rnd pushed them seventeen miles to our roar
through ,Snake Gap. Meanwhile, Gen. Johnston
has skilfully brought up a powerful supporting
force to the defence of Kcsaca and made a corre
sponding change in hi? line, winch now runs nearly
north and south, the light resting on Rocky Face,
and the left upon bis support? at Resaca.
Here, then, in the rather mow comp as 3 0 f
Sugar Vallfiy, with Snake Creek Gap the ouly
available outlet of epcape if defeated, in his rear,
are gathered the boats of the enemy in a grand
desperate neck-or-nothing effort to .flank Johnston
and cut his communications.. , - j
It will he recollected that. Dug Gap is in our
hands, twelve miles above Snake Creek Gaj), and
ibis is tho avenue, if Johnston has chosen to avail'
himself of it, through which to make a flank
movement in rear-of the Snake Creek Gap, and
shut off tho enemy's retreat. Johnston baa but t o
tviing hi-rrhjirt -m-mud—*pirshr if through Dug Gap
and the deed is done—the enemy are apparently
bottled op for preservation, unless he .succeeds in
driving .3obuston's left, getting possession of Re
Sana and the Rail road, and opening n free passage
generally.
Such ia said to have been the situation on tho
11th, and if it was, it is'pretty cfcar that decisive
events hav transpired, und fiharaian has
pursued a imlicy which must have eventuated m a
great federal success or a torviblefailure.-—Jfrrron*

■ A sharp lioht. oci'urretl at Port Walthall
Junction, yesterday afternoon, coinruenciag at
five and (xortluding at o'c,lnc.k, which re
sulted in ’a decided repulse of tb«* enemy.
Port' Wall hall Junction is on the railroad, five
miles from Petersburg, and two from Swift
Creek Bridge, At 5 o’clock, two Brigades of
the enemy, which moped oui from Bermuda
Hundred?,,some time during Thursday night,,
and were and cautiously advancing
during the day yesterday, attempted to cross
the field of Mi '’Hewlett's farm, immediately
at the Junction, hut were met by a deadly fire
from six hundred of "the ’lst and 25th South
•Carolina Volunteer?, commanded by Colonel
Graham Three times the enemy essayed to
reach tin; railroad, coming with a yell, but
our rneri, unawed by such music and uninti
irmted by *ucli appaiynt ferocity, met them
with a steady fire, causing them to recoil and
stagger, from the bloody reception. They
finally retreated in some confusion and retired
about a mile and a half distant, in the direc
tion of Port Walthall landing. The disparity
of numbers was too "great for us to pursue,
but a gentleman presi-nf .informs us, that he
never witnessed more gallant conduct on the
part of any troops than was .iiaplayed by the
intrepid South Carolinians.
The enemy had artillery, but used it with
poor effect. Our casualties were 25 —7 killed
and 23 wounded We had no artillery,
The object of the enemy in this movement
was evidently to tear up the railroad and
the bridge over Swift Creek. They will pro
bably be heavily reinforced and renew the at
tempt to-day, but we shall be better prepared
for them, and they will not fare so wellaa they
did yesterday. They lost heavily yesterday,
but carried off their killed and wounded.
We regret that we are unable to procure the
names of our killed and wounded to-day. An
Ambulance Committee, under the superin
tendence of our townsman, Mr. Reuben Rag
land, went out last night, and will bring them
in, in the morning.
REPULSE OF THE ENEMY ON THE BLACKWATER.
A body of Yankee cavalry, under the com
mand of the notorious Col. Speare, attempted
to cross the Blackwater riveT yesterday, at
Blackwater bridge, near Ivor.
They were handsomely repulsed by a portion
of General Clingman s brave North Carolina
troops, and retired out of sight. Onr scouta
from that section, report this body of cavalry
as being quite formidable in numbers—some
estimating it as high as 3,000. At last ac
counts they were heading around towards the
source of the Blaekwater in Prince George,
and may endeavor to effec.t a junction with
the enemy now at City Point. We fear t-hai
the Sussex sod people will suf
fer greatly from the .depredations of these
vandals.

first thought, this number appears to be ope oi
great magmitudo, and eapaLl© of txanaporting
an army ot 40,000 men B*t when it ia reooi
lected that all of the Ua not carry
troop.a, but that many ot them are necessarily
j filled with hones, artillery, Ammunition, pon
j toon boats, quartcrinßster .and commissary
• stores, it may be safely concluded that the
enemy’* forces now at Bermuda Hundreds, do
not exceed, if they number as many as 20,000.
All accounts from the river, represaut the
scene at the junction of the James and Appo
mattox rirera, as one of rare and unusual in
terest. So large a flotilla of staamer#, bargee,
sailing vessels and gunboats, wan never be
fore witnessed. As one who -mw it expressed
himself to ns, the wide expanse of waters
there is literally covered with tloatiojj craft
The principal' rutuor yesterday, and the one which j
seemed to esrito roost interest in our community,
was, that the euauiy had greatly increased his
force at City Point during Thursday night, and
was inarching toward-s Petersburg by the country
rend, slowly hut steadily. This was soon ascer
tained to bo incorrect. * A gentleman whn left his
farm, three miles this side of City Point, at f> o'clock
yesterday afternoon, informs as that the enemy
had made* no advance of any cousequcnoe up to
that hour, and that his pickets and videttes then
'extended only two utiles from the Point. Out; in
formant is a gentleman of most excellent judgment
and no little experience, and his opinion is, after
closely observing the movements of the enemy,
that they have no intention of advancing upon
Petersburg from the Point. It is evident that they
have only occupied that locality to preveut ns
from placing a battery there, and also to veil their
movements at Bermuda Hundreds. The main
operations are on the Chesterfleld side of the
rivor. -•■-/-
The various reports about tho destruction of
buildings at Broadway, the burning of all the
houkesat l'ott Walthall, and the destruction of
'Mrs, Mary Dunn’s mill, near by, are believed to be
without foundation. Heavy columns of smoko
were seen in the direction of the foregoing local
ities yesterday, but we ascertained last night from
scouts who had been in the immediate neighbor
, hood, that fbo woods wore on lire, and are supposed
yto Have been fired by the enemy, but whether de
signedly pr ; hy accident is not known.
An oilier rumor which gained much credence
during the day yesterday, was that Fort Clifton,
on the Appomattox, six miles below Petersburg,
bad been captured by the enemy's gunboats, and
that the Yankees had landed, and were building
additional fortifications. An enquiry at. Head
quarters Inst night assured us that there was not
the slightest foundation in truth for this report.—
Fori Clifton is still held by Confederate forces, and
likely to he bo held until tho war is over.
As to the cutting of the telegraph wire? between
here and Richmond, the destruct ion of Swift Creek
Bridge and the tearing up of the track, all of which
was reported an hundred times during tho day at'
the various atreet corners, we can state positively,
that it is all rumor and nothing eke. At 1 o'clock
last eight the wires yearn working admirably,
Swift Omek Bridge .Was intact, and the railroad
uninterrupted. . ,

Col. La Grange, who commands a brigade
of Yankee cavalry, is a handsome man in a
-fatigue uniform. He .cam o into the office of
"the Provost Marshal tGeneral, mul while his

they came up in column iu front of Clayton’s
Brigade A # tight, ot two hours ensued;, when
the whole line was repulsed with great loss.
This morning there was a brisk skirmish in
front-of (Jen. Bate’s position with affike suc
cess. A heavy avtiilery t]uel has been going
on all day. As I was riding across the field,
I met a courier in quest of Gen. Johnston.— *
He said hr was bearing an important dispatch,
and ns I was likely to find the General,.wo fell
together. In a few minutes after, a shell
' came screaming along, and in a moment my
companion, horse and all, tumbled heela-over
head into a gulley. I immediately dismount
ed, intending to get the dispatch myself, ex
plain that the bearer had been killed by my
side, aod thus make a notable point, when to
my horror, my dead man stumbled to his feet,
disentangled his horse, and, in a wink-of-tbe
eye, was alive again and dashing alohg by my
side. I was a little disappointed, I confess,
and muttered that if a shell had struck mo
“that way, I’d have keeled over as dead a? ;
Cock Robin !” Such is luck !
There was quite a rain here to-day Tt re •
lieved the dry and du&t-loadcd atmosphere
greatly. It is still cloudy. The town of
Dalton has become very quiet. I look out on
the street and seldom see so much as a passer
by.
The deep voice of a battery of 20 lb. Par
rott guns, and th« lively replies of a battery
101 b. ditto, belonging respectively to Yankee
and Confederate artillerists, are rolling in
over the hills incessantly. I htfve not beard

He wished to .know from . the Attorney General

ter entirely unquestionable, [hear, bear. | Ho also
wished to know whether the Government would
lay on the table the dispatch of Mr. Seward with
referenced) that document.
The Attorney General thanked the noble Lord
for giving him the opportunity of assuring tfie
House that when he referred io that, document on
a former occasion and used the word “unquestion
able," his meaning was simply this -that never
having heard any suggestion that the document
was not what it purported to be, and knowing
that it had been sent to Mr. Adams, and by him
to Iler Majesty’s Government, [hear, hear ;] being
ignorant alsaof 111* peculiar form in which such,
documents are presented to the Confederate Con-'
gross; arid also not being aware at the time * that
an opinion had, been expressed doubting the gen
uineness of the document, he, in his simplicity, (a
laugh,) did believethat the document was what it
professed to "be! Had it been so, emanating from
the Confederate Government, it would, undoubted
ly, have been as he represented it, of unquestion
able authority. IBs impression was that the letter
of Mr. Adams should be produced. [“No, no,”
from Mr Layard, “the dispatch of Lord Lyons.”]
Well, that that the dispatch of Lord Lyons should
be prodneed.
Death of Hon- Thomas Bn tier
King
With pain we announce the death of Hon.
Thomas Butler King, of Glynn at hia tempo
rary residence near Waresboro’, on Tuesday.
His disease was pneumonia, and he had ’been
sick about three weeks.
Mr. King waa a native of Pennsylvania, but
cams to Georgia about forty years ago, when
quit* young man. He married the daughter
of the late Col. Wm. Page, of St. Simon's, and
settled in Glynn county. He was a gentle
man of liberal education and enlarged views,
and about the year 1832, entered political
life. In that, or the succeeding year, we think,
he represented the county of Glynn in the
State Legislature; and 1834, and for several
successive years, be was the State Senator
from the same county. In politics, he was bf
the Crawford and Troup sohool- When the
nulification question arose, Mr. King allied
himself to the State IDghts party in Georgia
and in 1838, wsr *>Jcoted, with the entire Stare
Rights ticl » # i a member of Congress. He
wa3 > M ulc House ot Representatives for sev
eral consecutive u-rioo. »i*u »mi
the Whig party which elevated General Har
rison to the Presidency. In Congress, Mr
King was very ua*&*L especially in connection
with naval affairs and ocean steam naviga
tion. it is admitted, ou all luuid-t that h
would have made an excellent Secretary .
the Navy. On the accession of Geu. Taylo;
to the Presidency, Mr. King was appointed
Collector of the Port of Ban Fraocisoo.'.u
which office, he continued about two years.
During his whole career, he wat devoted t>
the cause of internal improvement, and fie ex
ercised much influence in the councils of the
State, and also of the natiou. On the
siou of Georgia, he was sent by the State *
Commissioner to Europe, and in < rre -pon
d*nce in that capacity, was marked by gre-.:
ability, aud practical ocquaiTtfsifc. : with the
laws of trade and the rulss for international
dealing. Ardently devoted to thv cause and
institutions of the South, he ha-t passed aw i ,
just as that cause ;eema on the verge ot «r.-
