WASHINGTON, July ed.
The Government has received dispatches from
Gen. Hunter to the effect that our forces, under
Crook and other Generals, who shall be name

From the latest accounts the prospect that

booty retaken.

the object of their visit was. They rem aimed in
the rebel capital four days, Jared sumptuously at
the Spottswood, had interviews with jeff Davis,
and, it is said, proposed to him on their own
hook, plans for peace, and then came back.
LOUISVILLE, KY, July 21.-A dispatch from
barrels of coffee belogning to the Government,
which accompanied the steamer ST. Louis when
she was boarded, fell into the hands of the rebels
and was destroyed.
Last evening the rebels took the engine of our
construction train at New Haven, on the Leba-
non branch road, fired her up, opened the throt-
tie valve, and let her run wild towards Lebanon.
ST. LOUIS, July 23.-Much surprise was crea-
ted here a few days ago by the arrest of several
very prominent Secessionists of this city, whose
offence was unknown. 1t has lately came to
light, however, that they were connected with q
conspiracy extending throughout the entire
Mississippi valley, having for its object the erec-
t tion , of OF a Northwestern Confederacy Colonel
partment, has been. gathering evidence in this
matter for several months, and it is now in pos
session of the Washington authorities. It i'm
plicates many public men, and shows that the
organization had been formed.
CAIRO, July 22.-The Memphis Bulletin of the
goth has statement made before the provost
marshal by Lieut. Allen, a deserter from Forests
command, who took the amnesty oath and i'm
mediately left for his home in Kentucky. He
reports that General S. d. Lee commands Folks

wounding of Forrest at Tupelo The rebels left

Wisdom is among the killed. The most of this
loss is attributed to the desperate fighting of the
negroes nearly all of their victims being shot
in the head and breast. Major Bradford cap
tured at Fort Pillow, has been ordered to be
shot, by Forrest.
Union says that telegram from General Sher-

tie of Thursday between Sherman's and Hoods
Qate Johnsons) armies, was very severe and
bloody, and the defeat of the rebels most COM
plete. They were driven back into their fortifi-
tions with a loss of from six to eight hundred
killed, and our forces held the field with about
four thousand wounded and prisoners.
ALI the lines of retreat had been cut off by
Sherman except the one via Macon, and that
has probably been attended to before this time.
The Rebel General John B. Hood, heretofore
only a division commander, took command of
the Rebel army in Georgia on the 18th. He owed
his appointment over Hardee and others to the
fact that he alone of Johnston's captains has
been fiercely opposed to Johnston's retrograde
movement from Dalton. He was counted upon
to resist Sherman's advance at every hazard
but it seems he has been no more successful than
Johnston.
WASHINGTON, July 23-Official details of Gen.
Sherman's battle on Thursday show that it was
a brilliant and decided success.
Hood abandoned the field and fell back to his
Notifications, leaving all his dead and wounded
in our hands, while nearly four thousand pris-
oners were taken. Our loss was but fifteen hun
dred:
LOUISVILLE, July 23.-Major Norcross, Local
Paymaster at Chattanooga, telegraphs to Major
Allen, Chief Paymaster at this post, that Major
General Mcpherson was killed in battle to-day
before Atlanta.
Another correspondent adds that he was shot
fatally through the lungs.
LOUISVILLE, July 24.-The Journal announces
day.
The rebel loss in killed, wounded, and MISS
ing, will reach six thousand, including one thou
sand killed.
Parts of our army entered Atlanta.
We may have some fighting for the full pos
session of the city, but the present campaign ia
virtually ended.
A report, believed to be reliable, announces
the occupation of Montgomery, Alabama, by
Gen. Rousseau.
The city is very much excited by the general
impressment of horses.
WASHINGTON, July 23d-The errand of Col
onel Jaquess and Edmund Kirke to Richmond
has no Importance whatever. Jaquess is lead
ing Methodist, and so was Gen. Longstreet.
They had an interview year ago, and Jaquess
believed he could make an impression on the
Rebel authorities
The President simply consented that they
should be passed through our linec.
General Grant secured their safe conduct
to return, and this gave them Importance in the
eyes of officials at Richmond.
They were received warmly by every one ex-
cept Jeff. Davis who plainly informed them he
could entertain no propositions not embracing
the independence of his Confederacy.

A NEW JOB OFFICE.-Almost every military
post, hospital &C., in the country has attached
to it apparatus upon which it's blanks, orders,
etc., are printed, and the amount of expense
saved the government in this way is almost in
calculable. Determined not to be surpassed in
this important matter of military economy, the
commandant ordered the purchase of a press
and the necessary appertenances, for this post,
and, having arrived. they will soon be in run
ming order and the work heretofore done by pri-
vate parties at exhorbitant rates will be turned
out at comparatively small expense by SOL
diers.
HON. WILLIAM D. KELLEY, of Philadelphia
accompanied by number of distinguished gen.
tlemen visited this camp few days ago. On
being shown into our office by Capt. Ellison,
they expressed their surprise at seeing SO COM
plete an establishment in military camp and
paid us quite compliment in eulogising what
they termed the enterprise and skill of the
American soldier.
REFRESHING RAIN, the first of any conse-
quence that has fallen since Thursday the 9th
ult., began falling on Sunday evening last and
continued with slight intermissions, until noon;
Monday. Vegetation, which has been parched
and almost killed by lifelong continued drought,
begins to look up again, and we are encouraged
TO hope that late vegetables will revive sufficient
1y to yield a fair crop.
ORaANIzING.-By reference to our report of
arrivals and departures for last week it will be
seen that the camp has been having heavy run
of business. The work of organizing the men
into provisional batallions, and arming and
equipping them for the field, is going actively
forward, and it is expected that in the course of
few dayathere will be general exodus of all
fit for active duty. 8H
A BATTALION, numbering between eight and
nine bundled, belonging to the Sixth and Nine
teenth Corps, was forwarded to Tennallytown,
on Saturday last, to be distributed to their regi
ments.
PERsoNAL.-Capt. j. N. P. Bird, whose life
was at one time dispaired Of is rapidly recover
ing, and will soon be sufficiently restored to re-
sufuo hia dutias
