Thurs day Morning, September 1,1864, Wednesday Evening. Special Correspondence of the Times, Atlanta, Aug. 30. 1304, Sherman's Xtw Line—The Depot at Vining \ Station—Oijicial Dispatches * from Wheeler — Difficulties of Interrupting Sherman's Com munications— Tampering with Shells — The Chicago Convention. Sherman having folded his left wing and centre back upon hi* new line of earthworks which commence at Defor’s Ferry (junction of Pencil Tree Creek and the river) and run across diagoualy to the Sand Town Road, is now gradually extending bis right. By this move ment be expects to gain the Macon Road: having already struck the West Point Road at Red Oak P. 0., between East Point and Fair burn Station. Will he get the Macon Road? That is a question which our brave boys, and the gallant Hood, will not. allow to be an* swered in the affirmative. Our Uommander in-chief is fully alive to the importance of the new movement, and I opine that the Yankees will find as stubborn a wall to confront them, as they had to encounter around the city proper. Gen. Hood's headquarters present at pres ent a more animated appearance than during the days of the close investment. The long stemmed pipe is comparatively idle now, for the General spends more time in the field, since the inception of the new* move than when the shells cOme screaming and crashing into town from their batteries immediately in front. No one who catches a glimpse of his manly figure, more manly it seems to meras it leans for support upon the crutch, with a face com bining a peculiar dreaminess of expression with unmistakebly decision and fixedness of purpose, can keep feeling that he is immensely superior, and more than a match for the cold blooded crafty Yankee, who controls the movements of the army in our front. The Yankees before falling back from our right, were engaged, as I have stated in a previous letter, in effectually destroying the Georgia railrond from Decatur as far down ns CovingtoifM They also hauled away about seven miles of the iron, which they conveyed to their rear. This iron, it now appears, they intend using in building a projected branch of the State Road, which they hold, from Vining Station to the river at Sand Town Ferry, and by which road making a depot at Vining, they can more easily supply their line, as it is stretched out southward. It was very singular with the knowledge of such facts, as this removal of iron rails, and the failure of Gen. Wheeler to interrupt their grand artery of supplies, that there should have been intelligent military men in our ar my, who, up to last evening, were of opinion that the movement of Sherman meant a gen eral retreat. Ido not pretend to any -great amount of military foresight, but I must confess that I never for a moment construed the retrograde movement, into anything like a retreat. Official despatches have at last been received from Wheeler. lie states that he captured Dalton and destroyed some twenty-five miles of the Staco Road. Having then ascertained that Sherman drew mo3t of his supplies "of forage from East Tennessee, he moved up the East Tennessee and Georgia road, and captured Cleveland, Charleston and Athens. Gen. Wheeler concludes, that be was successful in his mission: and that he had captured a large number of horses, mules and beef cattle. If Wheeler’s mission, as has generally been sup posed in the army, was to successfully interrupt Sherman’s line of communication, we are unable to understand how he can construe his mission with a success. The truth is, Sherman's line is strongly guarded at all vital points: and having a mechanical corps magnificently appointed, he can repair his reads at other points which our raiders may strike, in a few hours after the damage has beon dene. Wheeler’s raid has proved this most conclusive ly ; for although he succeeded in tearing up the road for twenty-five miles, it was repaired almost immediately, and Yankee rations were dealt out as liberally in the meantime a? if nothing had hap pened. The citizens of Atlanta were considerably star tled on Sunday evening by a couple of explosions which bore so close a resemblance to the old time shells, that many, by mere force of habit, darted down into their bomb proofs. The excitable por tion of the community imagined that the Y'ankees had certainly slipped back and were commencing the old game. The first explosion was caused by a shell which an old man named Weaver had been tampering with for the purpose of extracting the powder, lie had collected quite a number of these Y'ankec missives, and the explosion of the foie he was hand ling, set off several more, and the result was rather startling. The old man was only slightly wound ed, strange to say. Sot so two small lads, en gaged in the same dangerous pursuit at gain, a short time afterwards. One of them had his hands blown off te the wrists and the fiesh torn from one leg frightfully, and the other leg damaged. His companion had one of his legs broken. This, I imagine, will not be the last accident of ihis nature as there are thousands of shells lying about the streets and yards, and no warning seems to be sufficient to deter people from hadling them. The Chicago Convention which met yesterday is the absorbing topic of conversation here. The new move of Shennan is second rate in compari son to it. I hardly think that McClelland will oß?ain the nomination: and aaa inclined to think as the New Y'ork Tribune, that the “country will be surprised by the nomination of seme obscure man as a compromise between the factions/' OUTLINE. ItirrpspoHdenfc df the Times Atlanta, Geo.. Aug. 25th 1564. The recent changes in hh position, made by .Sherman, have furnished matters for much specu lation. These movement?, though, iaabtleos an dersto.-I by Geu. II<»I, to uj &i omiccar as they arc loyrlericas, and we *re much mistaken if the forty-eight hours do not dovsloro vapor r«»iv ' ' T 'Pig « Vs L r ;A in The enemy has abandoned his entire line on tbo : right of the Chattanooga road, but is still on our j left and centre.. • It was rumored aud believed at Head last evening, that he had thrown*!wo corps across the river, and is fortifying on either bank. They wore heavily shelled by our guns while preparing to withdraw from our right. The unexpected and accurate salute created much confusion in theb ranks, and caused them to retreat more precipi tately than a proper regard for economy would warrant, as was testified by the abundance and variety of spoils found in their abandoned camps. In addition to the usual outfits of the soldier which were profusely scattered over the entire ground, Dr , of Brigade, ,whe rode over the ground, informs me that he counted over live hundred sacks of oats left in one pile. There were enormous heaps of green corn scat tered over the encampments, but no old corn was seen, and this, in connection with the finding of Sherman’s order,directing a reduction of rations, is regarded here as very significant. Cleveland,. Tennessee, which was destroyed by Wheeler on the 22d, was the principal depot of the enemy’s supplies. There has been but very little positive informa tion received of this officers operations. I am a little apprehensive that ho has not atdtpnplished as much as the country was induced 4o hope that he would. DAD BURNIT. From Petersburg The news given by the press correspondent was reiterated by passengers on the evening train from Petersburg yesterday. There had been, it seems, a severe fight in Hie vicinity of Reams’ Station on the Weldon Railroad, in which Gen. A. P. Hill assaulted tbo enemy, upon whom he advanced from the south, strik ing in the rear. The battle commenced about five o’clock on Thursday evening, and took place to the east of Reams’. It was pretty much a one-sided allair. General Hill had it all bis o\ta way, and with comparatively slight loss, drove the enemy from their posi tion. killing many and capturing about two thousand prisoners. We will doubtless get further particulars to day. Meantime a gene ral engagement appears to be imminent. The enemy have drawn largely from their force in Chesterfield and massed a powerful army on the Weldon Railroad, Nothing of consequence occurred on yesterday up to the time of the departure of the train in the evening, yet a battle was momentarily expected. Now," dur ing this period of general anxiety, we would suggest to the Press Agent at Petersburg to furnish the Press with a series of despatches each day, indicating a3 far as possible what, if anything, is going on, and even if nothing, then the assurance that nothing is in progress. In former days wo had hourly bulletins of every little local election, and now that a bat tle seems imminent, upon which the fate of the country may depend, it is unreasonable to suppose that frequent favors from the . Press Agent will not be highly acceptable to the public. • The enemy's cavalry on Tuesday last made an attempt to raid it "through Dinwiddle, but were encountered about ten miles from Peters burg, on our extreme right, by our cavalry, and whipped back after a severe fight, in Which our loss was seventy in killed and wounded. On yesterday some cavalry skirmishing oc curred on the right of our lines, in which the enemy were driven back.— Richmond Enquirer, 2'ilh. The Jacques-Gilmore peace efforts has been fully explained by the “Circular” of Mr. Benja min, which will meet the entire approval of all sensible men, whose gangrened malice does not make them misrepresent every act of their own government. The people of these Confederate ■States desire that their eafnest wish for peace, and their ontire willingness to advance every hon orable eftort, should be made patent to .the world. They, therefore, see no loss of dignity either in President Davis conversing with two of Mr. Lin coln’s messengers, or in Secretary Benjamin ex plaining what occurred in that interview. There are men in in the Confederacy who despise the representatives of their own country even more Urns those of the enemy, but these men are few, and though noisy, otherwise utterly harmless and powerless. They represent no respectable class of the people, and are the organs only of the sore headed and disappointed m«n that are to be found in every community. This effort of Mr. Lincoln to plead an estoppel to the allegations of the peace party in the United States, cannot fail to present him to the world as actually endeavoring to prevent a peace. It is useless to discuss the question whether these men, Jacques and Gilmore were sent by Mr. Lincoln; that they were as fully accredited by him as though they had brought regularly signed and sealed commissions, is so patent that discussion is useless and denial ridiculous. They were sent tQ propose insulting aiul impossi blejconditions. Their object was to provoke expres sions of hostility which might be represented as a refusal ou our part to treat of peace : and such a rejection of overtures as would rally th*e war par ty and effectually close against th% peace men the heart of the A'merican .people. This ministering to war in the livery of peace has been completely exposed by the “Circular” of Mr. Benjamin. The Secretary has stripped off the disguise' and sbowa Mr. Lincoln to his countrymen as a low trickster, trifling with the lives and fortunes of his country men, and sacrificing botht to the success of his party and his own personal advancement. If "blessed are the peace-makers” how cursed must be those who ferment war under the disguise of peace. The propositions, made by Jacques ab surd to be entertained, and they were designedly made offensive by Mr. Lincoln, because he desired the war to continue, and did not want peace. He sent lii3 messengers to Richmond because tha pressure of the peace party rendered his election precarious. The mission was aimed not at peace, but at the peace party cf the United States: it was designed to destroy that party in order that there might be no opposition to war and that war might go on, carrying with it power for himself and plunder for bis supporters. Such is the wretched light in which Mr. Bonja mifl preseuts Mr. Lincoln to tho world in this '•'Circular,” and our countrymen, at least all whose opinions are worth consideration, will approve what tho Secretary has written and applaud him for writing it. —Richmond Enquirer . 21th.

The Mass Peace Convention met in Syra- • cuse, New York, on Thursday, 18th August, j There was a large attendance. The most pro minent men present were Yallandingham, ei- Governor Weldon, of California, Fernando Wood and Judge Onderdonk, and a number of others. After spirited speeches from Vallan- ! dinghain and Fernando Wood, the Convention adopted an address, and resolutions, from which we extract the following as showing ! the temper of the meeting: Resolved, That it is with deep and heartfelt gratitude to God that we now behold a visable subsidence of the excitement and passion which has accompanied this convulsiou; that we think we see that the political and moral tempest which has swept over our beloved land with such devastating effects, has about exhausted its power, and that a season of re- I turning calm and love of country is about to ! replace it, in which it will be the dutv of the patriot to build up anew the splendid fabric which suicidal hands have attempted to des troy. Resolved, That with these feelings and in this spirit we call upon the American people irrespective of party or complicity in the dreadful past, to aid us in onr efforts to take advantage of the lull in the storm to obtain a permanent suspension of hostilities, aud for the initiation and perfection of some mode of conciliation and re-conejUation which shall again unite our country on a lasting basis of peace, prosperity aud fraternity. Resolved, That speaking for the many thous ands here assembled, gathered together frqm every county of the State of New York, we believe that it is the duty of the coming Con vention, to meet at Chicago on the 29th Au gust, to give expression to this beneficent spirit of peace, and to declare as the purpose ot the Democratic party, if it shall recover power, to cause this desolating war to cease by the calling of a National Convention, in which all the States shall be represented in their sovereigu capacity, and that to this end an immediate armistice shall be declared of sufficient duration to give the States and the people ample time and opportunity to deliber ate upon and finally conclude a form of Union. Resolved, That if in the platform and candi dates of the Chicago Convention the now per vading peace sentiments of the country shall be disregarded, and that body shall place an other war candidate and platform before the people, making a third party of this character entering the canvass for the Presidency, therb will be no real issue to decide at that election. Each party aud each declaration of policy and principles will be alike on. the. fundamen tal question of the day, viz: Shall it be peace or shall it be war? Therefore, we enjoin upon that Convention the folly of aimiog to obtain a portion of those who are already war pledged. The candidates already nominated represent all who cling to the war, and it is sound policy to gather together under our banner]* all who entertain the opposite scnli ment, and are in favor of restoring the coun try to its former condition of prosperity and happiness, only to be obtained by the election of a peace President, pledged to the support or a peace policy. Resolved, That we offer our solemn protest against the usurpation and lawless despotism of the present Administration, as subversive of the Constitution and destructive to the lib erties of the people. It has denied to sover eign States all constitutional rights, and there by absolves them from all allegiance. It has trampled clown a nation that it may install a military despotism upon the ruins of constitu tional liberty. It has and is still waging a bloody and relentless war for the avowed pur pose of exterminating eight millions of free men, from the homes of their fathers, and blotting from the American constellation one half the States of tho Union. It has sought to arouse and enlist the mosfc wicked and ma lignant passions, reckless of all ends, if it but subvert the existing Government and immo late American citizens. It has struck down freedom of speech and of the press. It has stripped from the American citizen. hi3 pano ply and consigned him to the bastile without process of law, without charge and without the opportunity of trial. It has, by military, violently suppressed the freedom of the ballot and dictated elections at the point of the bay onet. It has annulled every constitutional guarantee for the protection of the citizen, and subjected him loan irresponsible tyranny of military violence. ExfractN from Late \or(h«rn Papers. • PEACE SYMPTOMS. A correspondent of the New York Herald, writing from Bedford, Pa., thus depicts the peace proclivities of a majority of the idlers collected at that summer resort : TUB GUESTS OF BEDFORD SPRINGS, are made 'up of two classes, socially and po litically. The first class are those of Union feelings and sentiments with all their attend ant finer qualities of heart and head. The other class, consists of a shabby, irresponsible and low order of Philadelphia and Baltimore secessionists, either by blood or sympathy. The latter c#me here less to imbibe their fa vorite sulphur water than to hold a reunion of friends to treason. They, too, being in a deejjded/majority, amuse themselves by brow beating and misusing the tolerant minority of loyal gentlemen and ladie3 who have come here for the benefit of their health. And, in fact, to such a degree does this constant taunting of Unionists extend,, that thef larger portion of their number have been forced away in order to escape the bitterness ar,d superior numbers of their enemies. GENERAL BUELL. The conduct of General Buell has also been I shameful to the utmost degree. Ts for no j feelings of personal respect, out of regard for ! tfee favors shown him by the Government, it ■ would be more becoming to keep aloof from • the contaminating majority ofgue3ts at BeJ i ford Springs. Instead, however, of doing this, he receives their flatteries, applause and : courtship, and is the hero of the season among . a crowd who would laud anything that would 1 sympathize and add numbers to their party. Army Supplies.— We learn from a gentleman who has just returned from Gen. Hood’s army, that.it is abundantly supplied with provisions of all" kinds. The men are in fine spirits and in good condition. Our cavalry horses have also improved, and that body of the service has been Wgely increased during the past summer. The army feel confident that when the day of battle arrives, they will drive Sherman from the State, if they do not capture the greater portion of bis troops. — Sac. News. Capt.

Heretofore the point of contention has been the delivery of the excess of prisoners, our Govern ment insisting upon the terms of the cav trel, which required the delivery of all prisoners on both sides within ten days where practicable, the excess to be on pa role. Owing, however, to the large num ber held on each side, and the suffering consequent upon their confinement, the Confederate Government has abated a por tion of its just demands under the car tel, and offered to accept the proposal heretofore made by the eiiemy, viz: to exchange officer for officer and man for man, leaving the excess, if any, in their hands until other captures were made. This last offer of our Government, though made early in the mouth, has not yet been accepted, seeming to show a persistent purpose on the part of the enemy to re* fuse ali offers of exchange, even upon terms offered by themselves. We under stand the correspondence on this interest ing subject addressed to the Federal Gov eminent, as well as the history of the efforts which have been mad® by our au* thoritics to relieve the prisoners respect lively held by the two Governments, will shortly appear. — Rich. Enq.Tilh. Affairs la New York. A New York letter, dated the 19th, in the Philadelphia Inquirer, says : . The city delegates tC 1% Syracuse State Convention have rjrtfc&cd with sore heads. They sav Fer"«uC? Wood and bis gang were completely outgenerald by the peace men from the rural districts. Fernando’s programme was to have an advisory com* mitfee authorized to go to the Chicago Convention, there to dictate terms. Fer nando expected to lead this delegation, and, by virtue of his position, to be able to procure, if not a place on the ticket at Chicago, then his rcnoimnation for Cons gross in New York. But, as I have said, the expectation was cruelly disappointed by the voting down of the resolution ap pointing the committee; and so Fenian* do comes home, feeling, for the first time, that there arc smarter men even than he* in the bucolic regions. i The “sensation” Washington telegrams to some of the morning papers about a proposition for an armistice soon to be made by the Government to the rebels are ' attracting some attention, but it is pre | sumed that nobody but the very green place any faith in them. Indeed, there is a strong suspicion that these “telegrams” never came over the wires at all, but were manufactured in this city by certain par ties to promote schemes of their own. As the postponement of the draft is coupled •with the “armistice,” the substitute bro« kers say that prices for recruits have faL len from twenty<five to thirty per cent. Perhaps it was to accomplish this very thing that the “special telegrams were eoncoetedt United States Commissioner Osborne this morning issued a warrant, at the in stance of the United States District At torney, for the arrest of Mr. John Muila ny, editor and proprietor of the Metropo litan Record, for incendiary and seditious articles in that journal, counseling riot and resistance to the draft. Up to four o’clock this afternoon, however, Mr. Mullany could not be found. The process against him is a civil, not a military one, as in the case of certain New Jersey ars rested recently for like offences. The grave diggers at Calvary and Greenwood Cemeteries have strufek for higher wages ! Ugh ! Secretary Fessenden is in town. He will leave for Washington to-morrow. During the day he has been in free coiin sultation with the bankers, but the result of their conference has not been divulged as yet. * Major Mosbt.—A Yankee corres pondent says: That “audacious rebel chieftain,” Mo-by, passed our column while we were going through Snicker’s Gap. He is captain general of all that section of the country and the Yankees. His name is a terror to every Yankee wagon driver and quartermaster in this department. He so fully impressed the people of Maryland that his little squad was A. P. Hill’s advance guard, and that the 2d army corps was at the mouth of the Monocaey supporting ouv left flank, that it was actually believed not only by the Washingtonians, but by some of oar officers. Such a man is worth having. The National Intelligencer at Washington has quarrelled with Lincoln Sc Cos., is out against Grant. :tuJ threaten? to go for Mc- Clellan.
