Intelligence from Nassau, n. p, says
that blockade running is not active

Wilmington quarantine regulations I;
but in the meantime, the blockade run
ners are making extensive prepare

chants are going to Nassau and new
steamers are arriving or are on the
way. A correspondent writes that,
|" two large vessels came in last week,
and dozen more are expected. There
are ten in port to-day. Many of our
old ones are running to Bermuda for
the summer. BY SO doing they avoid

The War in Georgia.

A Washington telegram, based on
official dispatches from Gen. Sherman,
announces an attack on Sherman's
lines on the 9th ult., in which the en-
envy were defeated with a loss five
times greater than our own. General
Hood will probably think long before
trying another attack. 1t is said this
battle of the 9th was as severe a
blow to the rebels as either of the for.
mer ones. The contest was between
a single corps of Sherman's troops and
full two-thirds of Hoods entire army.
This is telling heavily on rebel strength.
The Atlanta Appeal admits loss of
six thousand men in the battle Of Peach
tree Creek, on the goth ult., and says
that, at the rate of fighting since Hood
took command, the rebel army would
be annihilatcd in just three weeks-a
very significant paragraph to appear
in an Atlanta paper at this juncture.
The results Of tho recent raid by
Gen. Rousseau's cavalry (Sherman's
army are thus summed up: Our
loss was less than thirty. The 5th
Iowa Cavalry lost killed, and Is
wounded, Tho raiders Travelled $50
miles in Is days; captured and pa
rolled 1000 prisoners killed and
wounded 200 of the enemy /; captured
500 horses and mules, and as many
able-bodied contrabands tore up 81
miles of railroad track destroyed
great quantities of stores. cotton, &c.
Thirteen depots we're also burned at
various points, and a number Of cars
and one or two engines.

The Assault upon Petersburg.

Accounts from Petersburg represent
that the assault of July 30, after
springing the great mine, was unsuc-
cessful. Dispatches agree that the
assault was well planned, ought to
have succeeded, but-somebody blum
dcred. But the affair was on a much
smaller scale than was at first sup
posed, and the losses on our side seem
to be confined mainly to the 9th Corps.
When the mine exploded, a rush was
made through the gap left in the rebel
line of earthworks, and there was an
effort to get on as far as the next limo,
or to carry some adjacent works which
commanded the position. There were
two assaults both failed, and our
men lay for long time exposed to q
FIRE from which they could not retreat.
Three divisions of the 9th Corps-in
part or in whole-were sent in, but
could not get forward. Finally, the
assault was abandoned, and our men
withdrawn--many wounded being left
on the field. Our losses are put at
from $500 to 5000. Rebel officers
admit loss of 5000 in the affair, and
claim to have captured 936 prisoners.
The explosion made cavity 200 feet
in length by IS feet in width. 1t is
stated that the rebels are attempting
to mine our earthworks, but will be
prevented. Gen. Bartlett who was Ia
ken prisoner, is reported to be in Pc
tersburg, unhurt.
This failure will be generally mag
nifed by the rebel and copperhead
press into stunning defeat. 1t is
nothing of the kind. An attack has
been made on one point of the rebel
lines by single corps, and rcpulsed.
There is NO cause for encouragement
in that. Gen. Grant will pursue his
operations unaffected by this, as by
other Interruptions. And the country
will have sense enough to estimate the
failure at its true value. .. r.... ~. .
