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* TrhyrrtjJr. . •=■■■- [From tlre-Pelersburg Express of the 7-th.] ■ 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. [From the Petersburg Express.] Tlie lEceiny Rrfwe«n Rich* itiond and Petersburg. Ve?terday t Friday) was another day of ru mors—wild, extrar agant and numerous—but not o! excitement, for the people had recov ered from Gm shock* which came so suddenly upon them Thursday.

There were evident signs a* an early hour that the enemy wap largely reinforcing at Ber muda Hundred?. ftT trao port after transport c. old be **een ascending the river from the heights in the vicinity *jf T’ity Point. A gen tleman connected with out Home Guard Cav alry, arrived about 11 o'clock, and informed ns that the transport? commenced arriving at early dawn, and up to h o’clock, one hundred and twenty-one. including the arrivals of $3.50 Per Month J. W. WARREX, Editor had Been At 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. . , fQortespQndeoee of tbe Rebel.] The capture of Cot.

He .cam o into the office of "the Provost Marshal tGeneral, mul while his menVvere being enrolled, engaged in a free ’<Anil*’'oo*y conversation. lie was courteous, nn«T independent. I was uffis - gt-lhcv "pl&ls'ed'’ with bik hearing. He says *. tit at* N liVrmau in bound to be successful, ad - mils iiuvuv reverses to Federal arms, but be lieves, the Booth will be over-run before the dose of summer, estimates our force at fifty thousand, and fears tliat his. people tne-Hii to butt against our natural works. I take him tor an abolitionist in politics. Tie aavs that Andrew Johnson has played out, and describe? the Yankee recruits from Hu* border Btat.es aa a Gioti-toraaken set ol wretches*' Alter the arrangements were made for his confinement,, he was conveyed to the guard room, lie goes South to-morrow. • The Van tees are "till “pegging away' at* the gape. Y e-terday—Monday afternoon— 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 the guns open below, but expect them every moment. Max. We recognize in Col. J. M. Crews, whose promotion is noted below, an old acquaintance, who wa3 raised in Harris county, Ga., and whose brother, Col. Constantine Crews, was thought deserving of Brigadier General of cavalry for his gallantry and efficiency some time ago. It speaks well for Jimmie th») Gen. rori-vst ciiould so highly appreeb**® him The Crews boys have made their mark in this war. We learn from a letter from Mississippi. in January phis, wss assigned by Gen. Forrest, to the command of Coi. Jeff. Forrest a regiment and Major McDonald’*? batialion. These two bodies of troop- have always been commanded by those whom history will record as the bravest and noblest of men, *»uch a3 Gen. Forrest, Col. Jeff. Forrest, Major Kelly. Major Trezevsnt. and the gallant Major McDonald. We are confident that the command canid not have devolved upon one more worthy or .mm e will ing t-» discharge duty than Coi* Crwwe. ,Sitc- J.uimy ! — Rebel. Hon. J. L. M.

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.
