In the absence of telegraphic intelligence respecting army movements in Georgia we present our readers with quite a batch of ru mors, some of which, at least, we believe to be true. A gentleman who left the rear of Hood's army at Cedar Town on Saturday last reports that the advance of corps attacked the enemy’s position at Allatoona on Friday and was repulsed with a loss of 16 men ; that reinforcements coming up the assault was re' newed and the position carried, our side los>. mg 160 and the Yankees between 800 and 900 men, including about 300 prisoners. He aLo confirms the previous report of the evacuation of Atlanta, and says that Sherman marched out on the Roswell road for the pur pose, it was supposed, of avoiding Hood, and was making a horizontal coat-tail for Dalton ; that Hood comprehended the game and was making a '‘straight shoot” for the same desti* nation. Our informant, on his way down, stopped at night with a gentleman who in formed him that Sherman burnt Atlanta be fore evacuating it, and that General Iverson entered and took possession of what remained of the city on Friday last. We give the3o re ports for what they are worth, repeating that we are inclined to credit most of them. Theatre. —A full house greeted Bulwer’s beau tiful play of the “Lady of Lyons,” at the theatre, last night. Mr. Theo. Hamilton makes aa excel lent Claudo Melnotte—we never saw a better. His whole personnel —black hair, black eyes, and dark complexion, added to a graceful figure and man ner, stamps him as the beau ideal of the romantic and impetuous French lover. In the parting scene after the marriage, we thought his enunciation entirely too quick—bordering in fact upon rant — though it may bo pardoned when we consider that the cere is laid, and the dramatis personae taken from the, fiery population of southern France.— Miss Cecelia Crisp was too tame, at times, but in the eclaircisssment scene in Jhe 4th act, she rose above it, and threw a great deal of animation in her personation of the proud, imperious beauty. Mr. Wolfe, as the testy old bachelor soldier, Col. Dumas, was glorious. Mrs. Crisp, as thejian’e/m aristocratic lady, Madame Daschappelles, dis played great knowledge of the character. It is very unfortunate that Mr. Keith, who assumed Beauseant, does not have a more distinct utter ance. He is, at times, perfectly unintelligible. In the sterling farce of Rough Diamond, Mrs. Jessie Clarke was in her element, and .Harry Crisp irresistible, with his comicalities. A glorious bill is in preparation for to-night— Lucrezia Borgia and Sketches in India. Let all theatre-goers turn out, and show their apprecia tion of the standard drama, and a really talented theatrical company. We are not one of those who believe in a system of indiscriminate “puffing” of everything in the way of amusements ; when w<* see anything, which, in our humble judgmont, is worthy of a complimentary notice, we shall give it—otherwise not. The drama has sadly degene rated in the South since the war. It requires such managers as Crisp, and such actors as Ham ilton to elevate it. Consignees Per Mobile and Girard Railroad.

Yankee Psisoners. —One thousand five hun dred and fifty-two Yankee prisoners were register ed at the Libby prison on Sunday afternoon and Monday last. Among the number wero fifty offi cers and one chaplain. They were the result of tho different engagements which have occurred between the opposing forces around Petersburg and Richmond, for the past day or two previous. Eleven hundred and fourteen were sent to Salis bury, North Carolina, on Monday, in order to make room for other prisoners expected to arrive there. Parties recently out from Atlanta report that several stores- have been opened in the city since the Federal possession; sutler shops are in full blast; calicoes, ginghams, bales of domestics ling the sidewalks on business thoroughfares/; an immense amount of rail road iron, frogs, chains and spikes has been sent down since the occupation of the city; the warehouses are full of commissary stores; the passenger depot is*one vast pile of crack ees. Tho citizens that remained were freely exchanging Confederate currency for green backs at the rate of forty for one. So says the Savannah News. Important Consultations. —The Register informs us that for two or three days impor tant interviews were held in Augusta, between a number of leading officials, President Davis, Generals Beauregard, Hardee and Cobb, not to mention lesser lights, were the partners to this consultation. The interviews were long and close, and evidently concerning important matters of public interest. Except at inter vals, it was impossible to catch a glimpse es the great men admitted as members to this privy council, and the gaping crowds who stood about in hopes of seeing the President often had to disperse ungratified. The most important matter up for consid eration was the necessity of getting the enemy out of Georgia. The conclusion evidently ar rived at was, that General Beauregard be placed in command of the army which was to perform that important work. Indeed, it seems that the President has gone a step be yond this, and placed that gallant chieftain in command of two departments, with perfect freedom to command personally in the one or the other. Gen. Hardee takes command of the depart ment of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida —a most fitting appointment. Other matter than the arrangements for the three departments specified, no doubt, came up for consideration, such as the adoption of more vigorous measures, the duties of sirb-commanders, and the settlement of future campaigns. But enough is not developed yet to allow any comment thereon. $5.00 Per Month the Richmond Dispatch, 7th.] The War News. FROM THE VALLEY. Affairs in the Valley are not by any means unfavorable for us. The enemy still continue to be pressed back, and our cavalry now hold possession of the north bank of North river, the main body of the Federals having fallen back beyond Harrisonburg, at which place they have a moderate-sized encampment. Their outer line of pickets extends to within sight of the town of Bridgewater, which is six or eight miles south of Harrisonburg and west of the Valley turnpike. From that point the camp of the enemy can be plainly seen. Their force is variously estimated at from twenty to forty thousand. At Waynesboro’ they destroyed only the depot; the flour mills were not destroyed, nor were any of the private houses. The flour from one mill was distributed among the ne groes. Our cavalry charged the Federal troops in the streets, driving them in confu sion, and pursued them so rapidly that they had no time, whatever might have been their desire, t© burn private houses by the way. At Staunton they destroyed only the depot. Wickham’s cavalry brigade are represented as having displayed conspicuous gallantry, being the foremost in charging the enemy in the streets of Waynesboro’. Passengers by last night’s train feport that all is now quiet there. The trains are run ning to within a mile and a half of Staunton. The bridge over Christian’s creek was but slightly damaged and is already repaired. FROM THE RAPIDAN, Passengers by last night’s Central train al so report that a cavalry force advanced and again burned the bridge at. Rapidan station Wednesday night. They are said to be ad vancing on Gordonsville, but nothing con firmatory of the reports had been received at the War Department up to a late hour last night. Nothing authentic has been heard from Forrest, but it is rumored that shortly after his demonstration against Rosseau at Pulaski, he left that Federal officer in his trenches and struck the line of the Chattanooga & Nashville railroad, some sixteen miles from the latter place, capturing a freight train and some 70 prisoners. It is certain that he is not idle. FROM WILMINGTON. The Christian Sun, of yesterday, states that the enemy seem to be making preparations to make a determined attack on Wilmington. They appear to be collecting a fleet for that purpose, a3 a number of vessels have been added to those heretofore lying in and about the port. FROM PETERSBURG. Passengers arriving last evening report all quiet and no new movements on the part of the enemy. AROUND RICHMOND. There were no demonstrations yesterday whatever, save of the spade and pick, a species of employment particularly well calculated to aid in whiling away the monotonous hours of camp life, since books are not likely to form a part of a soldier’s luggage, and idleness is productive of demoralization. A body of the enemy’s troops were said to have been seen moving down the river on yes terday morning, but their destitination is not known. From tlie Tennessee Front. We have information from General Hood’s army as late as the 4th inst. Ho had fixed himself in the rear of the enemy within fonr miles of Lost Moun tain and twelve miles of Marietta. Gen. Stewart’s corps moved on Big Shanty on the 3d inst mt, after a small fight drove the Yankees out and captured one hundred and seventy-five prisoners and took possession of the town. He was busily engaged in destroying the railroad from Marietta to the Eto wah river, and it was supposed that he would make in a short time a perfect success of it. Our cavalry had captured a train of thirty cars near Acworth, on the 2d inst,, loaded with supplies, coffee, five hundred barrels crackers, etc. On the 3d they cap tured a train of eighteen cars loaded with beef cat tle, which were burnt. These licks together with those struck by Forrest, will soon have the desired effect in moving Sherman from Atlanta. [Memphis Appeal, Bth. Tlie Position in Georgia. OurJatest advices from the Army of Tenness are dated 3 o’clock Friday morning, October 7th, from which we learn that Lee’s corps was occupying Allatoona Heights and Big Shanty. Hardee’s corps, commanded by the gallant Cheatham, was advanc ing northward on the east side of the State road. Our forces have effectually destroyed the W. & A. R. R. by taking up the rails, burning the timbers and tearing away embankments from Kennesaw Mountain northward nearly to Etowah. A number of Yankees who were growling in tho neighborhood of Lost Mountain, on Thursday, were captured by our forces and when they were inform ed that our army wa( in possession of the railroad north of there, they were incredulous and perfectly astounded when they discovered the truth. No reliable news of the position and condition of Nhorman’s army had been received at our army headquarters up to our i ast dates, though it is evi dent the Yankees are making a movement. Our base of supplies are perfectly safe and con venient to the array. No certainty of the capture of Rome had been announced to’our army up to Thursday evening. [. lntelligencer, 11 th. Rf.turn of Confederate Prisoners. —The truce steamer, whose arrival at Varina was an nounced on yesterday, brought up six hundred sick and wounded Confederates, three hundred of whom were convalescent. The steamer Allison, which went down on yesterday, brought them to the city. They arrived at Rocket’s about six o’clock last evening, where they were received by a concourse of citizens, a detachment of the Pub lic Guard, and the Armory Band, who greeted them with cheer3 and music. The convalescents formed inline in the street, and were escorted up town, receiving cheer after cheer from the gradu ally increasing throng that followed and surround ed them.

Brown and Gen. Sherman. The Situation. —The opening of peace ne gotiations between Governor Brown, of Geor gia, and General Sherman, and the appoint ment of Commissioners from the Union Gen eral to meet Southern ambassadors within the r .bel lines is no doubt true. It is said that Mr. Lincoln i3 not averse to such a proceed ing, and is willing to recall his emancipation proclamation, or at least submit it to the judgment of the Supreme Court, in the event of the Southern States, or any of them, re turning to their allegiance. The retrocession of Georgia to the Union by such an act as this, contemplated by Governor Brown, and sustained, as it is reported to be. by such men as Alex. H. Stephens aud Robert Toombs, will pull the keystone out of the arch of the Con federacy. and fearfully deni ;mliz« the whole structure — N. Y. Herald. 2i>th. General Beauregard's Department. —Gen.
