The agent Of the Northern Associated Press,
with the army Of the Potomac, in his letter
dated ou Tuesday says; Last evening the
enemy 10 from, Of Ga? line where il crosses the
Jerusalem road were very ju'ilant for a tine:
induIging in loud cheering, which extended
along toe line to the right, toward the Apo
mattox Oar pickets hailed theirs and asked
the cause Of the commotlon, and the answer
came, Atlanta has been retaken by Hood.
Notwithstanding the inprobability Of the storg.
it rapidly gained circulation, and oa0sed some
depression for ,ime;;'' but be then proceeds
to give the following, to say The least, very
singular explanation - But soon after
deserter came in and reported that, one Of their
meo had tied caoteen to dogs tail and
started him through their lines, thinking thus
to brighten Gar 1nen. But the dog kept his
own side and his frightened cries, rs he sped
a!0ng, caused the rebels to cheer and halo 50
loud Thus the nat5er was explained > The
opinion entertained by the Contederates &C
cording to this, OF the courage OF the Federal
troops, cannot be very exalted, if they imagine
that they can be scared by the rattle Of tin
pot.

ing that ''Gen. J. a. Winder Of the Confed-

The Boston Daily Advertiser, heretofore
known as the advocate OF conservative prln-

Of ali the most radical tloctr mes propounded by
any of Mr. Lincoln ssuppoIters-such as the ex~
tinction Of the 'sinsurgent States, the lndeh-
mite nerpetuation of the war for the destruc.
ton of slavery; the abrogation Of the Coostltu-
t;on so far as relates to the Seeded States; a
change in the tenure by which the Judges OF
the Supreme Court hold their Office, limiting
that tenure to twelve years. 1t also desires
the expulsion OF Mr. Seward, and Mr.. Blair,
from the w ashington Cabinet, which it would
have raorganized on tbs basis Of more en-
nhatic recognition 1T tue radical anti slavery

The Marlboro, Nd, Gazetsa says that in
enrolling for the draft in Prince Heorge,s
County, about 1000 names Of negroes who
have left the county were erased, by the prop
or authorities, thus reducing the quota at least
one third. This will be considerable oil re"
lief, but it is not all we are entitled to. There
are hundreds Of negroes already IN the array
for whom the county has not received credit.
