headquarters " of General Sherman,
have folded their tents, like Arabs, and
silently stole away.
A letter, dated at Chattanooga on the
18th instant, says:
News reached this place last night that
the rebel General Wheeler, with body
of cavalry, dashed into Atlanta day or
two since, and that fight took place in
Whitehall street No details have yet
been received. Nearly all of our troops
had previously lett the city. The Twen-
tieth corps, which, in conjunction with
other troops, was under marching orders,
and had actually started, prepared for a
long expedition eastward, returned to
the city last Monday, but without un-
packing or making formal encampment.
1t appears from last nights intelligence
that they had marched out again, pre-
vious to Wheeler's arrival The pre-
sence of an extensive force of the enc
mys cavalry at Stone mountain may
have something to do with their first re-
turn. 1t is thus apparent that Atlanta
is On the point of evacuation; and per-
sons lately from that city confirm this
opinion, and further state that the place
will be burned, so as to render it unten-
able and worthless to the rebels. The
constant arrival of machinery and mate
rial from the front also cOrroborates this
view. How far Wheeler's cavalry, or
any other force the enemy may have,
will interfere with the expeditions now
on the point Of starting, remains to be
seen. If the head is thus Topped off by
the evacuation of Atlanta, the limb will
probably shrink to the elbow, and Rome,
Resaca and Dalton may become the out
post or end of the formidable stump.

KILLED IN BED BY A SHELL.-During
Sunday night, forty-one shots were fired
at the city of Charleston, and on Mon
day, thirty-one, up to 6 P. NJ. A man
and wife, named John and Mary Null
lany, were killed, about halfpast eleven
o'clock Sunday night, by fragment OF
shell, which entered the room where they
were sleeping, inhicting mortal wounds
in the abdomens of the unfortunate
couple. 1t is supposed they were killed
almost instantly, but were not discov-
cred until Monday morning, when they
were found dead, locked together in each
others arms.

\ A PICTURE FOR HISTORY. A letter from
Washington, North Carolina, gives an ac-
count of the desolation of that town and
the following description of faithful old
negro:
Zone of the first things that strikes
the visitor upon entering Washington is
the almost entire absence of negroes. |
do not think there are over six in the en-
tire corporation, very nearly all of whom
are free persons. One Of these-and a
most remarkable man every way-is
Abram Allen, concerning whom it is al
most impossible to speak otherwise than
in terms of extravagant eulogy. Abram
was an old citizen, and highly respected
one. He was reared with Badger and the
Stanly's; possessed the highest intellec-
tual qualities of any colored man | ever
saw; and was Southern patriot to the
backbone When the Yankees, under the
application Of the rule to "run the
churches" as well as the Government,
undertook to unite the colored church in
Washington to the Connecticut Confer
ence, they wanted to ordain Abram and
make him pastor. But the heroic colored
man told them it was against the laws of
his State for colored man to preach, and
heintended to keep the laws. They could
not bribe or intimidate him. He stood
to his colors. They carried away his wife
and family, and left him solitary by his
own hearth. But he remained true to the
South. And when | visited Washington
the first time, found the brave old
Christian colored man, like Old Mortali-
ty, busy among the graves of the old -citi-
zens, rubbing up and shutting in the de-
solated tombs of his departed friends. 8

WHEREABOUTS OF GENERAL PRICE.


A letter from st. Louis, dated the
18th, speaking of the closing of Prices
campaign, says:
The movements of General Price have
not been very rapid of late. He was
followed across the State line by General
Mcneil, with one brigade of cavalry, and
his rear guard showed some fight west of
Fayetteville. They were whipped, and
retreated to the west When General
Mcneil, in pursuance of orders, came
back to Missouri, Price encamped at
Cane Hill, where Blunt whipped Hind
man in January, 1868. On the 9th in.
stant General Thayer moved from Van
Buren, with division from Fort Smith,
to attack Price; but although Price had
the largest force, he retreated westward,
with the apparent endeavor to draw
Thayer away from Fort Smith, which the
latter sought to cover. Consequently
no fight took place, and Thayer returned
to Fort Smith, which was, and probably
still is, threatened by another force of
rebels sent to that vicinity by Kirby
Smith or Magruder. Price is now safely
over the Arkansas
General Rosecrans has referred to the
War Department the question which has
been raised concerning the men cap
tured and paroled by the rebel General
John B. Clark, at Bonneville. There
are seven hundred men of the Forty
third Missouri volunteers, and they
were paroled and released in clear viola
ton of the cartel agreed on between our
selves and the rebels. General Rose
craIs decides that the parole was void,
but has asked the decision of the War
Department upon the point. The men
are mutinous at the idea of serving again
without being exchanged.

OLD AND New IssUE.-The following
scene is described to the Jackson MIS-
sissippian as having occurred between a
militiaman and Confederate soldier:
"Old Issue-Hallo, new ish, going to
the front | expect before you get there,
there will be considerable discount on
you"
New Issue-You jest get down of
of that ar horse, and I'll knock the dis
count off of you in jest one minute"
Old issue did not get down, not SEEM
ing to like that sort of brokerage.

SHoP-LIFTING. On Saturday, three
negro men went into A. II. Peebles's
watch and jewelry establishment, on
Fourteenth street, near the Exchange,
and pretended to desire to purchase a
watch. Mr.. PEBBLES showed them seve-
raj watches, which they handled conside-
rably, and then declined to purchase, and
left the shop. Soon after their depart
ure, Mr.. PEBBLES discovered that they had
taken one of his watches, and made pur-
suit, but did not succeed in coming up
with them. Yesterday, however, he had
negro arrested, who, he says, is one of
the parties who were in his shop when
the watch was stolen This negro is Solo
man, slave of Mrs. Ro. Nelson. lfSolo-
man is guilty, he has been, so far, too
wise to admit it. but declares he knows
nothing about the watch.
