wHEELER'S RAID.

From a prisoner captured by General Roas-
sfau, we learn several particulars relative to
the Wheeler raid, of the highest importance
Wheeer's force consists OF the divisions OF
Wharton, Kelley, and Howis, and the brigade
OF Williamson, in all numbering $500 men ,
together with 10 pieces of artillery-9 parrots,
and 3 howitzers. After crossing the Hoiston,
the force was divided, one half taking the road
to Sparta direct, and the other mo wing down the
Sequatchie Valley; but the two united at Spar

Wednesday night, encountered the rebels about
miles from here, and drove them back. The
loss nboth sides is trifiing. At the latest in
telligence last night, our forces were still in
pursuit, the rebels, however, falling back slow =

up between here and Murfreesboro.

wounded, and picked up Is dead rebels, and
captured "a prisoners.

arrived at eight. Wheeler had then abandoned
the railroad and was retreating toward tha

hopes to be able to intercept him in his flight

AN ANGLo.RKBEL ESTIMATE OF GENERAL
GRANT.-The Richmond correspondent Of the
London Times gives the following estimate Of
General Grant:
SIT is impossible to resist speculating upon
the question whether, after q review Of tho
campaign Of the last two months, it is reason
able to pronoun ce Grant great General-t0
put him on the same platform as Lee. viii
at once avow my own conviction, which is
shared by every one worth listening to in Sc
cessia, that not one of Grants predecessors in
Virginia have shown one tithe Of the tenacity,
energy, celerity, and resolution which the re-
cent campaign has set down to Grants credit.
Mcclellan, Hooker, Pope, or Burnside would
have gone back after the battle Of the Wilder
ness, and would never have got such an effort
as was made at Spottsylvania Court House
out Of a beaten army. But, after giving Grant
due credit for vigor in handling his men and
keeping them compactly together (Which is
the greatest difficulty a Federal General en-.
counters), am unable TO see that his concep-
ton OF his campaign was able, though 1t muet
be confessed that the strange incompetency OF
Butler made half of Grants plan q fasco be-
fore it was commenced.

THB WELDON RAILRoAD.-The Richmond
papers affect to regard the occupation OF the
Weldon road by Gen. Warren as of minor con
sequence, but the following, which appears in
letter to the Petersburg Express, from Hills
corps, tells q different story:
The unsuccessful efforts OF our forces "a
dislodge the enemy had the effect to still fur
ther depress us, and when, during the past
five or six days, we learned that the enemy
were gradually extending their lines down the
road, hope gave way to q feeling Of deep de-
SPAR. We prepared for the worst, and many,
we regret TO say, have realized all and more
than they expected"
Though the enemy have since regained the
road below him, Gen. Warren still holds on TO
his position.

WASHINGTON, Sept. d

"AShANoiONs oopes f-o p H.
TO Major General Diz, Neto York:
General Sherman's official report Of the ca D..
ture OF Atlanta has just been received by this
Department.
It is dated twenty. six miles south Of Atlanta,
at O'Clock yesterday morning, but was de-
tanned by the breaking OF the telegraphic lines
mentioned in my dispatch Of last night.
GAS already reported, the army withdrew
from about Atlanta, and, On the Goth, had made
break of the West Point road, and reached q
good position from which to strike the Macon
road, the right (Howard) near Jonesboro, the
lett (Schofeld) near Rough-and. Ready, and
center (Thomas) at COUGHS.
"Howard found the enemy in force at Jones'
boro. and intrenched his troops-ths salient
within half q mile of the railroad.
"The enemy attacked him at 3 p. m and
was easily repulsed, leaving his dead and
wounded.
"Finding strong opposition on the road,
advanced on the left and center rapidly to the
railroad, made q good lodgment, and broke it
all the way from Rough.and Ready down to
Howard's left, near Jonesboroe and, by the
same movement, interposed m. whole army
between Atlanta and the part Of the enemy en-
trenched in and around Jonesboro.

sand prisoners.
ain the night the enemy retreated south, and
hastily constructed lines, near Lovejoy's Sta
tion.
"Hood at Atlanta, finding me on his road,
the only one that could supply him, and
between him and q considerable part OF his
army, blew up his magazines in Atlanta, and
left in the nighttime, when the Goth corps, Gen.
eral Slocum, took possession OF the place.
$50 Atlanta Is ours, and fairly won.
"Since the 5th Of May we have been in one
constant battle or skirmish, and need rest. Our
losses will not exceed twelve hundred, and we
have possession OF over three hundred rebel
dead, two hundred and fifty wounded, and
over fifteen hundred WELL
"W. T. SHERMAN, Major General"
a later dispatch from General Slocum, dated
at Atlanta last night, p. m, states that the
enemy, on evacuating Atlanta, destroyed seven
locomotives and eighty. one cars, loaded with
ammunition, small arms, and stores, and left
fourteen pieces Of artillery, most Of them unin-
jured, and q large number of small arms.
Deserters are constantly coming into our
lines.
