arc W me closest proximity 10 those Of the Rebels
there is one place on che front of General A. T.
Baird's Division where the opposing fortHcations
are not more than sCventy-fve yards apart.
whenever head appears above either parapet il
j the signal for a dozen balls 70 be discharged
from the other.
The Rebels seem % have a body OF their
militia on the extreme right; Polk's old Corps
(SteWarts) next; Hoods (now ChCatham's)
next; and Hardee's on the extreme loft. Militia
are mixed in with all these bodies. II was CLAY
tons formerly StewaTt's) Division Of Hardcc's
Corps that was principally engaged on Sunday
with the 18th Corps Thctwo hundred and fifty
prisoners we took all belong to that division.
Has the Rebel Army been ReinTOreedP
il will not do to rely too confidently upon the
statements which are frequently made concern
ing Rebel losses in the recent battles. The Mem
phis-Atlanta Ippeal having a case to make out
against Hood, puts it at 1900 since Johnston
vas superseded. This probably, Is the outside
veteran Rebel troops, and as VIC all know
from Rebel official documents, found after
we crossed the Chattahoochec, that their
veteran force was only forty.siN thou
sand strong previous to tho battle Of
Peach Tree Greek, il follows that unless recently
reinforced, the veteran Rebel forces opposed 90
Us amount to only twenty-four thousand men.
That such force, even admi ting that it were
backed up by forty thousand militia men, could
for a single week withstand the attacks of our
magnificent army, is propOstcrOus. Yet they
have withstOod us and extend our lines a. we
may, We lind them everywhere confronting US.
The conclusion Is almost Irresistible tnal the
Rebel army has been reinforced, and that the
conditions upon which was predicted the speedy
fall of Atlanta, after the battle of the 22d alt are
essentially changed

The Iron.Cind :. .ynnnyunI,.. :,

The Post has an article in relation to the
NGnGy'Wk, in to-day's issue, in which It is stated
that she will draw tweRty-oue feet, and as the
river will not allow that depth before spring, it
will be some time before she will be capable of
rendering any actual service to the Government.
We fear some one has been imposing on the Gre
duliy of Our neighbOr in this matter. The largest
OF the monitor iron-clads have draught Of less
than fourteen feet and il we are not greatly mis-
taken the Mlaay'ak will draw less than thirteen
feet. The hoHsides, which is far larger than any
Of the monitors, draws less than twenty feet aud
locking at the MaHdY7k as she lies on the stocks,
we should say that when she gets that depth
down in the water there will be AZ least four feet
of water on her decks -four neighbur had said
that 1t would take twenty-one feet of water in
the river 10 launch her, he would not have been
tar from correct, as we believe she cannot be
launched on A much lower lgc.-PitsJtVg

The Rebels outnumbered Colonel Sieboid ten

earthworks, and large brick building.
The invaders swarmed into town, and were
gallantly kept at bay by the,garrison, who, from
behind their works, moved down the Rebels.
On Monday morning General Steadman arrived
with reinforcements. A skrmish al once onsned
when the garrison sailed out from their earth
works.
At this stage the 18th United States COored
