THE CAPTURED YANKEES AT ROME, GA

The Atlanta Intclligencer OF the 9Th has
the following particulars Of the capture Of
the Yankee marauders near Rome, Ga, on
the 3rd inst:
We learn the capture was effected by
causing the enemy to believe that he was
fanked on both sides, as well as pressed
by a.snperior force in the rear. The pris-
oners were very indignant when they dis>
covered they had surrendered to An inferior
force. The story about the contrabauds
proved untrue az only seventeen we're
captured.
The captured forces comprised the Third
Ohio, The Eighteenth Illinois, and the
Fifty First aud Seventy Third Indiana
AIabamians. The latter will be sent to
Richmond-the former will be paro'ed
Mr. Noble saw them all in the public
square at Rome, and says that the con-
ouarors and conquered, as we'll as tbei,
horses, looked very much jadsd. Tht
prisoners were very de6nant and iDper'

FROM THE WEST

TULLAHoMA, May l2.--.Sconts from the
front to-day report the removal of the
enemy's heavy baggage and tents to the
rear Of Nashville.
The Daily Press Of the 9th contains a
telegram OF the late Virginia battles. in
which it is stated that the loss Of the Fed
erals in Gen. Sodgwick's command alone
amounted to five thousand men. An ed.
ltoriaI says. Hooker having charged his
base tells tho story.-.he is defeated. On'
first reports were base fabrications, the
picture is frigbtful and adds to the cata
logue Of our sapguinary defeats IN th'
East. Reports represent the rebel los
