Your correspondent on the wing—Rumors of the capture of Atlanta—Removal of Telegraphic- Head-Quarters —Jack Frost among the Roses. Newnan, Ga., Oct. 9th. There is nothing scarcely worthy to be jotted down to-day. The reports in reference to the af fair at Allatoona aro conflicting. Itis rumored and believed by many that, after having been repulsed, Stewart’s corps moved up in column and suc ceeded in storming the place, capturing a consid erable number of prisoners. At telegraphic-headquarters, the batteries are bung emptied for packing, andafter to-night New nan will have been left out in the cold. Tho lino of couriers have been changed to Bluo Mountain, and your correspondent mounts his black pony at daylight to -morrow for a not very inviting ride across the country. It will doubtless be some days before ho will have an opportunity of addressing you again. It is with some regret that he makes his P. P. C. to Newnan with its kind and hospitable citizens, beautiful flower gardens, and cultivated society. He trusts that the hostile tread of the invading army may never resound through its thorough fares. The weather still continues raw, and vegeta tion was considerably worsted in this vicinity by the cold of yester-night. Jack Frost, the old roue, has been in among the roses—and I noticed tho print of his lecherous kiss upon the bossoms of my favorites—the “cloth of Gold” and tho “Jean do Battailes,” as I strolled through the garden this morning. OUTLINE. Thkatre. —Without the presence es uniforms, Temperance Hall, last evening, would hare pre sented decidedly an cmfe bellum appearance. Ev ery available seat was occupied, and many were unable to procure seats. The beauty and chivalry were out in full feather, and most richly were they repaid for their attendance, as the thun ders of applause and bursts es laughter most am ply attested. It is very gratifying to the lovers of Melpomene and Thalia to see such encourage ment extended to Mr. Crisp and his worthy corps dramatique. Mrs. Crisp as Lueretia Borgia, discarded the traditionary black dress, and appeared in a purple velvet. We are of the opinion that she is not so, good in this, as she is in some other of her charac ters The remainder of the corps sustained them selves with credit, and the pixy passed off very pleasantly. Some of the tableaux, especially, were very pretty. A decided improvement has been made in tha music by the addition of a piano to tha orchestra. The orchestra is still very weak, but passable when we tako iato consideration tho difficulties under which a manager labors to get better. Among the audience, we noticed Miss Eloise Bridges, the popular actress, looking remarkably well. If Manager Crisp could secure her, it would maka his corps a “strong team.” The Position in Georgia.. The army of Tennessee occupied Cartersville and Kingston on Friday, 7th, and all the posts in the immediate rear, with all their material and transportation were ordered to those points. Tha Railroad has been completely dismantled from Kennesaw Mountain northward te the present po sition of our army, thus completely preventing Sherman from following or carrying his matorial by rail. A large number of prisoners were cap at Allatoona and a much larger number at Etowah. Our ranks have been replenishing by large acces sions to their numbers, so that at the present time, the army is larger than it was when it left Jones boro’. Our bases of supplies are very convenient and safe, every arrangement having been perfectly effectedffin sufficient time to meet the exigencies of the compaign. General Beauregard ia with the army and doubtless directing its movements. His presence inspires much confidence in the army, as well as the people who are so anxiously awaiting the de velopments of the campaign. Nearly all of tho Yankee army left Atlanta on Thursday night, and crossed the Chattahoochee at Sand Town, doubtless hoping to get between our Arinv and West Point, evidently thinking that the latter place was our base of supplies. Ere this time, he has been surprised at his disappoint ment. There is no reason to believe they burned Atlanta before leaving. That sort of a course would indicate his manoeuvres too plainly. Sherman was in Washington a few days ago, and therefore the rumor that Forrest captured him is not improbable. —lntelligencer 11th. Reported Capture of Gkn. Hampton and Staff. The Augusta Constitutienalist of Saturday says; “A painful rumor reaches us that this distinguished leader and staff have been captured, on the north ' side of the James, while making a charge upon the enemy’s lines. We trust that there may be some mistake in this report, but our source of informa tion almost banishes hope.” Returned prisoners, almost to a man, express the ! opinion, so we learn, that Lincoln will be re-elected by an overwhelming majority. This coincides with the view we have always taken of the matter, and with all the intelligence we have received from the North for many days past, If any think different ly, they indulge a delusion and the sooner they get | rid of it, and of every other, the better; for they will then be the better able to look their situation calmly in the face. The sooner we accept the tact that there is for us no alternative but success or ; subjugation, the better. Let us indulge in no more day-dreams. It is fight to the last, or die a slave. And so it would be, we are very much disposed to 1 think, even were McClellan elected. His platform speaks a different language, but what does he him self say? He tells us plainly, that if elected, he will prosecute the war to the restoration of the Union. I Now we are determined never to go back into the Union. Os course, therefore, the war must be pro , secuted until we shall have been reduced to subjec tion. What can Lincoln do worse than this? and this is exactly what McClellan promises to do. He promises, to be sure, to conduct the war in a less savage fashion; but elect him under his pledge to continue the war, and how long will it be before he will forget his promise. Accepting the war, he ac cepts everything connected with it. He cannot carry it on in a different manner. He cannot res tore to their masters the negroes of whom Lincoln has made soldiers. Indeed he was the first General to make large inroads upon Southern property of this description. He cannot refuse to continue tho enrollment of that species of force. He is less de tested than Lincoln in the South, and would, on that account, be only the more dangerous enemy.— Had Lincoln not shown himself a fanatical person al enemy of everything Southern—had he proceed ed like a man and a Christian at the first, the effect might have been fatal. As it was he consolidated the Nouth into one mass of determined opposition. [Richmond Whig, B th. The London Times lectures the Australians who talk of separation from England, and says that their charges are that England has not been allow ed to indulge her taste for military glory. The Times then proceeds to show the (Australians that hod England gone to war with Russia on account of Poland, trouble and disaster might have fallen upon them. Russia expected an outbreak, and had in structed her admirals on the Atlantic (and Pacific coasts to leave their respective posts, by different routes, for a eomnion rendezvous, ascertained to be mid-ocean, and the fleet thus assembled was to hold itself in readiness and bear down on the Australian colonies, $5.00 Per Month [From the Richmond Dispatch. Bth.] Tbe War News. FROM BELOW RICHMOND. At 8 o’clock yesterday morning our forces ; advanced,on the enemy’s lines in front of Fort Harrison. After pushing forward some dis j tance, the enemy sent out a heavy line to meet ! us, and the columns met about a mile from ! Fort Harrison. Our troops pressed their at tack with great vigor, driving the opposing line in confusion back to their works, inflict ing severe loss upon them. On arriving at their entrenchments they made a stand, and, i being well supported, our troops were brought • to a stand-still, but retained their ground at 1 last accounts. Battery Harrison is said to be a most un comfortable position for the enemy They are | subjected nightly to a gunboat shelling, and during the day the inmates are regaled with round shot and shell from land batteries, while our sharpshooters besiege them so closely that no one dares to show his head above the par apets for fear of the deadly aim of our men. As an instance of the fatality of the firing of our sharpshooters, we were informed by a gentleman, who was witness to tbe fact, that one of thjem killed eleven of the enemy in one day. A rumor reached the city last night that we had, by a flank movement, isolated Fort Har rison, and that it was now completely in our power, all communication with the main army being cut off. This, however, is doubt ful, and, at least needs confirmation. Simultaneous with the advance above men tioned, our troops, in the vicinity of the Dar bytown road, were put in motion, and press ing on with their usual alacrity, compelled the whole line to give way. Following up their advantage, our men continued to ad vance, the Federals retiring stubbornly at first, but finally breaking into a double-quick, they were soon in confusion, and abandoned in their flight nine pieces, which our men took possession of. After a brisk march of about two miles— the enemy all tbe while retreating before us— we came upon their first line of earthworks of any strength, having already passed two temporary lines, at which the enemy made but a short stand. Here, however, the en trenchments were held by fresh Yankees, and they poured into our ranks a terrible fire from cannon and small arms. Unfortunately, at this juncture, one of our brigades faltered, threw our line into confusion, and thus stop ped our advance. Here we lost most heavily. Charging the works with fury and dogged determination, we endeavored to regain our advantage, but in vain; and finally, falling back out of range of the enemy’s guns,, we established our lines two miles in advance of our position of the morning. The track of battle led to the right of the Darbytovvn, and in the direction of the Newmarket road, our extreme right finally resting in front of the line of entrenchments thrown out from Fort Harrison, and about a mile and a half north of it. Our loss was not very severe, as a whole, but some of our best officers fell. Brig. Gen. Gregg, commanding the Texas brigade in Fields’ division, was kill ed. His body arrived in the city last night. Brig. Gen. Gary was wounded ; Brig. General Bratton, ofS. C., seriously wounded; Colonel Haskell, 7th S. C. Cav., painfully, but notse i riously, wounded in the head; Major Haskell, jS. C. Artillery, wounded. Some of the local j troops, among them some of the War Depart ment clerks, were slightly engaged, but we hear of no casualties. We captured, besides the nine guns, about a hundred horses and some three hhndred prisoners. Among them, Major A. S. Ashe, Kautz r s adjutant-general, and a number of the staff of the 'notorious Spears, who, it is said, narrowly escaped cap ture. ' The engagement was renewed last night about dark, but we could obtain no particu lars. PETERSBURG. Some little skirmishing took place yester day in the vicinity of Petersburg, with some heavy firing. A number of deserters came in yesterday morning. GEN. lee’s OFFICIAL DISPATCH RELATIVE TO THE BATTLE OF YESTERDAY. Last night an official dispatch was received from Gen. Lee, stating that, yesterday morn ing, Gen. Anderson attacked the enemy on the Charles City road and drove them from two lines of entrenchments, capturing ten pieces of cannon, with their caissons and horses, and a numbej of prisoners.

The Richmond Dispatch has, by flag of truce, Northern - dates of October sth. In the engagement of September 30, near Squirrel Level, the Federals acknowledge a loss of two thousand in killed, wounded and prisoners, more than half of whom were pris oners. On Sunday last a shell from a rebel battery grazed General Meade’s boot leg, took a piece from the tail of General Humphrey’s horse, and entered the ground between Generals Bartlett and Griffin. The shell did not ex- ‘ plode. The Tribune is silent as regards operations north of the James,but 3ays Farragut arrived at Fortress Monroe on the 4th and proceeded up James river. A dispatch to the Tribune from Louisville, dated October 4th, says that “a band of thir ty five guerrillas captured two upward-bouHd freight trains on the Nashville railroad at 10 o’clock last night, between Richland etation and Fountainhead. They barned nineteen cars, hut they contained no stores. To-day i the trains will be slightly disarranged by the disaster.” Accounts from Missouri state that General Price is moving on Rolla in three columns, the right under Shelby and Marmadake, the centre under himself, aad the left under Coop er—the latter being composed mainly of half breed Indiana. About five hundred rebels en tered Union, the county seat of Franklin county, on Saturday, and captured about 100 es the county militia. Washington had a gar rison of 600 men, under Colonel Gale whe evacuated the place on the approach es the rebels, and took his men and stores acro«s the Missouri river. The depot at Jacksonville, on the North Missouri railroad, was burned by guerrillas on Monday momiag. General Schofield has received information that General Burbridge captured the salt works near Abingdon, Virginia, with little re sistance. [He received a bloody repulse —Dispatch.] Ob Saturday last a portion of Forrest s command shelled Athens, Alabama. Guer rilla bands are operating near that city, and last week two or three commissary trains were captured. On Monday Forrest appeared before Dalton, demanded its surrender.

He was a native of Virginia. Army Comspoadf use Suvaanah Republican. Richmond, Oct. 6tb, 1864. The fog begins to lift and tbe sky to clear. The cloud that lately swept up the Valley of the Shenandoah, carrying ruin and dismay to many a lovely home, has become stationary, and to-day hangs black and threatening over Harrisonburg. The storm that came roaring and crashing through the mountains from Kentucky and East Tennessee has been arrest ed, and bqw rolls back, exhausted and impo tent for further present mischief, in the direc tion whence it came. In Tennessee and Mis souri the heavens are bright and radiant. . At Richmond and Atlanta alone the tempest is brewing, and may soon burst with bloody fury along the banks of the James, the Appomattox and tho Chattahoochee. If Hood shall repos sess himself of Atlanta, and Lee maintain his ground here until winter shall put a stop to further operations, then we may expect to be blessed with brighter skies than have glad dened our eyes for three years and more— bright, glowing, peaceful skies, such as we have now and then only caught fleeting glimp ses of, through the rifted clouds. Let us, then, brace ourselves for the conflict, and with one great blow, in which shall be concentrated all the available strength of an earnest and uni ted people, strike the invader to tbe earth. Virginia is getting ready for the trial. All the details heretofore granted have been re voked, and the entire arms-bearing population not now in service has been called to the res cue of this ancient capital. The government, the army, and the people nt length appreciate the herculean task that Gen. Lee has to per form—a task which involves the necessity on his part of defending, with a far inferior nu merical force, two cities twenty-two miles apart, and separated by two unfordable riv ers, in the forks of which the enemy has es tablished himself in an impregnable position. History teaches us that the most renowned mas ters of the art of war have fouhd it difficult, and in most instances impossible, te held even one city when besieged by a superior force ; but to defend two cities at the same time, situated as Richmond and Petersburg are, by an inferior force, and where, indoed, all the conditions of the contost are favor able to the enemy, is a feat which no commander in ancient or modern times has ever successfully performed. The loss of one of these places car ries with it the loss of the other. If Petersburg falls, Richmond must fall alse—not necessarily, but because the free use of the Danville Railroad is indispensable in subsisting the army. At the beginning of the war, when Virginia was full of food and forage, we might have easily maintained ourselves in Richmond, so far asi-egards supplies, with all the southern railroads in the possession of the enemy ; but this could not bo done now for any considerable length of time ; not longer, any how, than six months. Meanwhile the two armies remain quietly in their entrenchments. Butler is still at work on his canal, while Grant is extending and strengthening Battery Harrison, below Richmond, and Battery Mcßea, beyond Petersburg, whioh be captured last week. Our own forces are not idle, especially in the neighborhood of Chaffin’s Bluff. It is now evident that Sheridan’s advance up the Valley, and Burbridgo’s irruption inte South western Virginia were parts of the combined move ment by which Grant hopes to gain possession of Richmond. With the former at Lynchburg, and the latter at Danville, he might expect to be able to so distract Lee’s attention, and interrupt his communications as to render the early reduction of the capital a matter of perfect certainty. Bur bridge has been defeated and beaten off : but Sheridan, I fear, is only preparing for a fresh bound. We shall see. Though the light begins to break, it is not yet day. Admiral Farragut has been ordered from the Gulf of Mexico to the South Atlantic coast—in other words, from Mobile to Wilmington or Charleston. You will remeiaber tho iutima tien thrown out iu a former letter, that the enemy were preparing for an attack upon the defences of Wilmington. Having possession of the approaches to all our other harbors, they hope now to succeed in closing the port of Wilmington, and thus cut ting U3 off from the rest of tho world. P. W. A. An advertisement had appeared in London, in viting capitalists to assist in making, by easy in stalments, a lean of £50,000 sterling to the Con federates. The Times says, of course, this Seherne is en tirely unknown to tho Confederate Government, and has received no countenance from any autho rized source. HEADQ’S GA. RESERVE & DIST. OF GA.) Okdnancf.
