From ths Macon Telegraph
From q private letter to his wife, we copy the
following narrative of an achievement By Major
VanvAlkeubnrg, Of this city, and a few men of
the 6Is. regiment, which we have no doubt the
reader wiAagree with us 10 p~ron0aneing one Of
the most daring ard gallant acts Of the war.
The narrative is written with Al the familiarity
Of family correspondence and we do in~jussics to
the major by putting it in print but All we can
say By way OF apology is, that so good q story
and 60 gallant an act should be known. The
writer Is Major james d. ~Yknvaikenburg, Of
Gel. John Hi L4mar's 6lss Georgia regiment.
The event narrated happened on sbe I2.h. after
GoTdon's brigade had driven the enemy back
from that part Of cur lines which they succeeded
in gaining in the early part Of inst bloody day;
Within an hour or 80, after I concluded my
last letter before mentioned, our brigade was
marching rapidly down the old pike towards

The position Of affEirs in 'front.' remains IN
changed, though the enemy is represented BY the
telegraph this morning, as making an effort to
get possession Of tbs Altoona bills, by which he
would be enabled to command and operate the
railroad across the Etpwsh river. As to what
may be The result Of hisSndeEyoTs in this respect,
We are left entirely to conjecture, as our stock Of
information, both as to Gen. JoHEsToE's views
and purposes, as well as the obstacles to be over
come by the enemy before accomplishing his
ends in regaiHing command Of the railroad, does
not enable rs to form an intelligent opinion.
We feel safe in saying, however, that If it be
Gen. JoHSsFoE's discrimination that SHERMAN
shsl come no farther in this direction, or that he
shall gain 10 farther advantages than those he
already enjoys, the chief of the miscegenstoEs
viii either have 20 remain Whsre be is, or take
the back track towards Chattanooga.
The adoption Of either course, it seems to Us,
viii prove fatal to this bold Yankee raider. To
lie idle is to acknowledge himself eheckmAted
and defeated, while to attempt a retreat in the
face Of such an army as Gen. JOHNSTON now
commands would prove most hazardous if not
disastrous. A. having some bearing upon this
subject Of = retreat, the COzfedsrEey Of this
morning states that an officer just from AbIng-
don, Va, reports that Gen. MORGAN, with 8
strong mounted forcs, has invaded the Eastern
portion Of Kentucky. he bad reached IS far in
the State As Stirling. If this be true, it viii
render sHERMAN's position still more precsrious,
and maiaiAny cripple his means Of retreat,
" - L.. - kunh "a
the Ohio. MORGAN viii doubtless add grestly
70 his forcs in Kentucky, and SHERsIAS will
very soon find a formidable foe in bis rear IS
well as in his front It would be a glorious
spectacle to see this incArnate fend pulverissd
a. il were between the upper and the neither
milestone. BE who has eoldly and deliberately
doomed the people Of tie South to the loss of
both their liberty sud property IS well as their
lives, should meet with little sympathy or for
bsarsncs in the houT of bis own distress. What
ever nag be bis fste, we hope be nsy never be
captured alive, or if he should be, that the ex-
charge burssu may never be troubled with him.
From present appearances At the front, We
should not be surprised if q general engagement
should come of any day, nor should We be if it
Is postponed yet for some weeks SHERMAN
seems either ~disinclined or afraid to hazard his
fate upon a single battle, and is evidently more
disposed to practice On the " peg away" policy,
81 least for the present. JOHNSTON can better
afford to stand still and wait than be can, being
As be is in the heart of an enemy's country.
With him delays are .emphEtieAlly dangerous.
10 such a state Of dubiety, our only alternative
is to wait patiently. though We Go SO with the
utmost co nfdence as TO the final result

The reports from the Army of the Pa
tomac are of great importance. On
Sunday. our latest dates, battle on the
extreme left was impending. The rebels
were seemingly determined to repossess
the " eldon Railroad, and General GRANT,
regarding our position of great conse-
quence, was equally determined to hold
it. On FRIDAY a persistent effort was
made by the enemy to drive Us from the
position, but il was unsuccessful. The
losses on both sides were heavy. On
Sunday, GRAFT was concentrating forces
at that point and the rebels appeared to
be doing the same. The ID corps, As
we understand, was withdrawn from the
extreme right, north Of James river, and
pushed to the left. The enemy cannot
afford TO lose the Weldon railroad, but
SO far we hold it firmly.
The report that Sheriden had rctreated
to Winchester and was terrifying IS now
contradicted. He is still pushing the
enemy up the valley. In the battle at
Front Royal on the 10th, Custer made
brilliant charge at the head of his brigade,
and captured 29s prisoners and two stand
of colors. Prisoners captured from
Longstreet's corps at Deep Bottom, re
port that two divisions of that corps had
joined Early, and that they were under
orders for the same destination.
On Thursday three hundred rebels
under the notorious Frank Woodward
attacked Hopkinsyille, Kentucky, which
was defended by company of the 52d
kentuckv, and about one hundred Home
Guards, but were repulsed on the second
charge, and Woodward was nOrtally
wounded and taken prisoner, and twelve
of his men were killed. The Federals
sustained no loss. The rebels were still
in the vicinity, and another attack was
feared.
