PdSTPOSBMBS’T.—We learn that the Ten ucdsee Brass Baud will not be able to meet their engagement to-night at Temperance Hull as published in the morning papers, but will positively "appear to-morrow night. We make the following extract from a private letter addressed to ibc editor : Camp, 20th Geo. Regiment, New Mai:key t 1 Ikie hts, August 2fith, 1561. •‘ We (Denning's Brigade) arc still in the tren ches north of the James River. Command gen erally weii and iu good spirits. Matters aro quiet in our immediate front, hut a great deal ofcs.nuon.x ditig and musketry or our’right, sooth of .Tames river and between tho Appomattox and James rivers. It i- useless to speculate as to what time general engagement may occur. On some portions of our line .there is continual skirmish ing, which almost amounts to a battle. We arc waiting with mnrii anxiety, tho result of operations around Atlanta, and hope that Sherman will soon be expelled from Georgia soil.’’ Special Comspoudfiicf of the Times. The ntuccmenl upon our left. — The enemy upon the 'V< h> Point Iloatl. — The Militia and -General G. W. Smith. — The nete Provost Marshal General. -Atlanta, Wednesday, Aug. 31, ISCL Tbc enemy is still engaged iu the movement upon <»ur left, aud is advancing slowly but steadily. Since striking the West Point Hoad, he has been industriously at work destroying it, both above and below Fairborn, and hauling off portions of the iron: which it is supposed h« intends using upon tho branch road, (mentioned by me yester day,) from Yining Station to Sand Town Ferry, a distance of eleven miles. A portion of his force was also engaged in felling (ree* across tke rail road, for the purpose of effectually preventing its being used by us again for some time, if he should bo obliged to abandon his present line of attack. Fortifications hove been erected, along Lis line stretching down the West Point Road, while hi.? advance tire moving i»p in tho direction of East Point, and over towards Rough and Ready upon tbo Macon road. Tt is hardly necessary to repoar, what I stated in my last letter, that Gen, Hood is keenly alive to all tbc movements of tho enemy, and that the necessary arrangements have been made to foil him upon whichever point he may conclude to ad vance iu force. Our left at present rests upon the Macon road iu the vicinity of Jonesboro’ ttvenly miles belojv the city, and active operations in the future, will scarcely alarm tho citizens of Atlanta—it is out of the range of- shot and shell. While these movements are going on, you must not imagiwe. that Atlanta has been loft out in the cold. The iine of fortifications around the city pfcili presents a formidable array of frowning can non and, bristling bayonets, and any number of Yankees, attempting to storm them at present would have cause to regret the folly of the under taking. The Militia are doing splendid service, and the term “Melish” has long since ceased to be a by word of reproach in this army. That they will fight, and desperately two was illustrated in the battle of the 22d of July, and those upon tho ground wall remember, how different it was, to withdraw them from the attack, after they had bee'll ordered to. charge. There is not a moro elegant, and accomplished General, in the army of Tennessee, than Gustav us W. Smith, commander-in-chief of the Georgia State forces, and the Empire Slute never exhibit ed more wisdom, than in this s*lection. It is im possible to meet G. W. Smith, and not be furombJy impressed. The total absence of affectation about him is truly refreshing, and ho takes up and disposes of intricate military problems, ia such a careless, off-hand, business way, that one not familiar with his record would to apt, at first blush, to under rate him. „ He is eminently a practical mao, aud does not cling so tenaciously to West Point and its isms, as the majority of old army officers: and bring a man ao peculiarly fitted to the times, that I never see him without experiencing a feeling of regret, that his brilliant rervic6s in the field have been no long lost to the country. The weather has been de lightful hero for the last few days. The wind has eeeu holding in the North, and there is a tinge of Autumn in the morning air which is quite invigo rating. The city is gradually resuming ite usual bust ling aspect, and fresh beef is once more offered for sale in the market house. I saw to day upon the street, a little baby carriage, found amoag the things abandoned by tho Yankees, in their camps. From this Uttlo straw it would scorn that tho ofti cere either expected the strige to boa long one, and had scat on for their families, or that they oxpectod to reduce the city with out difficulty, and had brought their families along to Uk# posses sion at once. Some young Yankee is missing his morning and evening rides, but a chubby faced young reb el is all the better off for it. Colonel M. H. Coffer, 6th Kentucky regiment, recently ootnuiaudant of the Post at Macon, has been appointed Provost Marsha] General. He relieved Lt. Col. Gus. A. .Henry Jr., who had been temporarily appointed to-day. I ifo not know much of Col. Coffer, but those who do speak cf him as an officer, who will fill the position to which he has been assigned ably. OUTLINE- The Petersburg Express, of the 23d relate? the following: An incident is related of Goa. ilagooi in :he Sunday’e fight, which aide another to '.be laurels already won by that gallant ofiicer. During the thickest of the fight on tbo Vaughan Road, a Yankee Colonel captured one of the colors of his command. Gen. Hu good seeing the act, and not wishing to lose his colors, which had been borne so nobly and gallantly on so many fields, confronted the Yankee officer and demanded its restoration. A refusal was given and 'he two officers be came engaged in a hand-to-hand encounter. Gen. H.slew his opponent and bora off the flag in triumph, ( PotAKD. — M Tr,iu„ U ? head of the Po lish National Govt-ri ■ , together with four chiefs of the dep »er>< hung on the 6tb inpt., ort tso i *h* citadel.

In accordance with si plan decided upon by our commardiag general, a sufficient | force of troops, wider General A. I*. Hill, was i sent around the enemy's loft to a position in : his rear. The movement was uoi discovered ; by the enemy, and a point was gained about I two miles below Ream’s station and twelve from Petersburg, whore preparations were made for an attack. The Yankee?, intently j watching their front, which they had strongly ! fortified, seemed to be entirely unconscious of | the mischief brewing iu their rca:’, and oar ! forces,havinggaiaedaneligible position, made the attack about fi*e o’clock on Thursday j afternoon. The movement wae a complete : success. For two hours the battle raged ; dcrcely, but the enemy wa.- liuuHy forced buck : and dislodged, with a lose of from fifteen hun dred to two thousand prisoners, nine pieces of artillery, twelve commissary wagons, and a i large number killed and wouuded. It is re i ported that the Yankee Colonel Spe.er ofraid i iug notoriety, is among the captured. Our j loss itt this affair is not heavy, and we learn | that cur commanding general is perfectly sat | isfied with the result. ‘ Paseengsrs by tho Petersburg train last j evening, report that we captured over two I thousand prisoners. It was a complete flank i movement and executed with consummate | skill. The lighting was severe for the time it j lasted, but we have the reiterated assurance : that our less is not large, while that of the en ; cosy is heavy. Among the wounded are Brig j adior Gen. Anderson, of Georgia, aud Major | Marshall, ofFanquier courtly, Virginia—neith ! er of them dangerously, !. The fight-was not renewed yesterday. F-ve : rythiug was quiet when the train left* | For two or three days past the enemy has j been shifting heavy bodies of troops from the j right siound to the left of his lines, as if in | anticipation of some movement on the part of • tho Confederate forces; but it seems he was j caught napping after all. Bodies of troops j have not only been transferred front the lines ; south of the Appomatox, but also from But i let’s command in Chesterfield countv. On Thursday aiterncoa tbc Yankee batte j vies on the river resumed their shelling, and ; for about an hour threw their destructive i missiles into Petersburg quite rapidly. Same | damage, was done to private property, but no : personal injury is reported. : Meanwhile our cavalry are not idle, A j spirited engagement took place on Tuesday | afternoon at Tillotson’s farm, on our jgptreaie right, about ten miles distant irotn iPeternburg. •Our pickets were driven kir at that point by the enemy’s cavalry, in large force, when an engagement ensued, iu which the enemy was driven back with considerable lojs. . it was i m this affair that Lieut, Uoi. Robert A. Oa-Kie, i lOth Yugiaia cavalry, was wounded, as j before reported. Rumors are current of a ! sharp cavalry engagement, on Thursday, near i Wyatt’s farm, four miles from Petersburg, ; in which the enemy was defeated with serious ; loss. These reports? lack eonfirmutiqn* The train last evening, brought over fifty* 1 nine pn'isoners, captured by Gen. Pickett's com- | round, near Bermuda Hundred, on Thursday. There were also two deserters, who came in to claim the privileges guaranteed in General Orders No. G 5. The affair m which these men were captured was the one which we yes terday located near Chester station. Its ob ject was only to fee] tbo enemy’s strength, which was satisfactorily accomplished, the Yankees being found iu 'considerable force j behind their work. Our loss was about thirty. ! The lines cl baftle were not engaged. * It is stated that the Yankee Commanding j General has established his headquarters at | the Yellow Tavern* six miles from Petersburg, i and about the centre of the fortified position ■ on the Weldon Railroad. i FROM YOKK RIVER. i We have a report that the enemy,- who lately ! evacuated Gloucester Point, lias again ap | pcared there in considerable forco. The ob j ject of this movement ia probably to rob the [defenceless people of Gloucester, who have | heretofore been subjected to all manner of ! outrages at the bauds of the Yankees. Siege of Charleston —lour Hun* dred and Eighteenth Day. —During Sun day niglit Battery Gregg fired forty-nine and the “Swamp Ange!” eighteen shots |at Fort Sumter. Tho “Swamp Angel” | also opened fire upon Battery Simkins, | firingi||&'two shots. Battery Simkins replica and fired thirtyksix shots at the | “Swamp Angel.” Twenty shots were ! fired *at tho city. During Monday the firing was very ; slow. Batteries Gregg and Wagner lireu | at Fort Sumter forty three shots, and SuL ! livan’s Island batteries at Gregg five shots. ! Only five shots were fired at the city du« ! ting the day. i About nine o’clock Sunday night a ter ; rific explosion, which shook the buildings | in this city, look place. : Many supposed ; it to be a two hundred pounder Parrott I time fuse shell. It appears however, that about nine o’clock some musketry firing | wa3 heard at Fort Sumter. Upon exams i ination Captain Huguenin discovered that the firing was about two hundred yards from the fort, in the direction of Fort Johnson. The firing continued a few seconds only, when three Yankee barges were seen coming in towards the West face. Captain Lewis, with a detachment : of the Thirty-second Georgia mounted the parapet and opened a fire of email arms upon the parties, but had not fired more than one or two rounds before a tremend ous explosion occurred about thirty feet from the West face of the fort, near the wharf. After the explosion the enemy were seen ia rapid retreat towards Mor ris Island. Our men kept up the fire of small arms until tho enemy had got en tirely oat of sight. The Yankees it seems had floated down a torpedo from the direction of Fort John son. The torgedo exploded near the wharf of tho fort. No damage was done to the works. The shock was distinctly perceptible all over the fort, and some of the officers on the Southwest angle were knocked down. \\ e have heard of no other movement of importance. There was no change iu the fleet.— Courier , 30/4. Ex-President Buehnnan if* in Europe, and he, with Mr. Mason, w „s stopping at the Regent Hotel, Leamington, England. * i $5.00 Per Month .r. W.

The prisoners are taken to .Wilcox’s landing, on the James, and then carried in ambulances across the ueck to Vanns, where the Federal boat receives them. Between the* two points where the boats land and receive their pas sengers, are tbo obstructions placed in Trent’s reach by ir.c enemy. In this connection we. may mention that Colonel Uuid has not yet received answer to the last proposition he made to the Govern ment at Washington. It is understood that Mr. Lincoln favors an exchange, but m over ruled and coutroled by Stanton. Butler, who, but a short time since favored the exchange, has become decidedly opposed to it. Wheth* er this change has been produced by the de feat he received on the Southsidc, or from chagrin at sot being nominated by the Balti more Convention, is not known. There i.? still ground for hope that a general exchange will be agreed to. | Major Toole, now in command of tho 3rd j Tennessee, attacked and completely routed a j camp of soma 300 bushwhackers at Fall | Branch, in Washington county, Teun., Wed ! oeJdftY, the 10th inst. lie killed three, woun j tied six, and captured 15; also, 20 licrres, j equipments, arms, etc. Tlic Georgia Front. No doubt remains that the enemy are bent • upon p strong demonstration to take, hold, • occupy and possess the line of the Macon and i Western railway. Sandtown is their base, | and they are turning the railway from Vining’a j station, on the Western and Atlantic road, I down to that point. They now occupy and | ftre fortifying tho line of the Atlantic and i West Point road, and their cavalry have been | roconaoitering around East Point. The learned j pundits say that do what he may, Shennan i cannot flank liood out of Atlanta, for thesim : pic reason ...that if he bolds the Macon nnd I Western road, Hood will still have conamuni ; cation by the Georgia road. But it is not to | be disguised that should Sherman be able to j effect this, he will havo things turned about, |in a very disagreeable way. Macon will then i be in bis rear, and the lertile regions of Ala j barna and Southwestern Georgia laid open to I raid and ravaging. The struggle will now be for the Macon and Western road, and it seems to U3 to open anew tho similar flanking opera tions on that line which were practiced on the State road. We shall see haw Hood will meet them.— Macon Telegraph, 31 si ult. ‘This Rebel Prisoners at Elmira.—' The j Rochester Journal says : ‘•There are about eight thousand prisoners at Elmira, and more are coining up daily. They are most able bodied men, evidently of good families at the South. They are orderly and respectful in their deportment, but most decided in thpir adherence to Southern prin ciple. The discipline of the camp is very rigid, and their is no intercourse between die prisoners and the public. Few civilians can even get a peep over the high fence at the mass, much less get withing speaking dis tance.” Heavy Ixoian Waa Axticifatkd.—A- dis patch dated Washington, August 12, says: Tho Commissioner of Indian Affairs has re ceived a dispatch from Gov. Evans, of Colora do, dated Denver, August iOtb, stating that ho vs satisfied that nearly all the Indian tribes of the Plains are combined, in the war against the whites, and that it will be the largest In dian war this country has ever had, extending from Texas to the British lines, involving nearly all the wild tribes of the Plains, and urging that all the influence of the department ghonld.be used in favor of speedy reinforce ments of the troops, and asking that authority be given to him to raise a regiment of mount ed men for one hundred days, and saying that the militia laws cf the Territory are in operative. and unless authority is given the whites will be destroyed.
