THE REsULI6 At PETERsBCIG.--Addi-

but increases its brilliancy. 1t was one of
the most satisfactory engagements of the
campaign, and reflects the highest credit
upon the troops who fought it. a Peters
burg paper thus BHms up the results of
GRANTS operations before Petersburg:
In Grants several attempts to cut and
hold the Weldon railroad he has not lost
less than fifteen Thousand men. We
have certainly taken from his ranks nine
thousand prisoners, and it is fair to pre-
sumo that his loss in killed and wounded,
at low estimate, will reach six thousand
In the early engagements. before Peters
burg Grant lost ten thousand mon. by the
admission of his own party journals. At
the mine explosion, taking the same aG
thority, lie sustained further loss OF five
thousand. which, added to the above fig
nres. will make his dgssegote loss during Me
short siege of Petersburg thirty thousand This
does not include the losses in Buffers de-
partment, or those in the engagements

ARaED REsrsTANoE TO rnEDRArr.--The
Yankee authorities have become aware
that formidable secret orgsnization. per,
yading all the States is in. existence, the
object Of which is to resist the enforce
nent Of the draft and defeat its purpo-
ses. How very formidable this organiza-
ton 10 believed to be, may be gathered
from the fact Gen. Heintzleman, COM
manding at Cincinnati, has issued an or
der prohibiting the railroad, express or
other forwarding companies from, for
warding Or delivering firearms, powder
and ammunition Of any kiud, within the
limits of the States of Ohio, Indiana, II
linois and Michigan for the next sixty
days without permit from head
quarters. Also, prohibiting dealers in
these articles from selling the same within
the time. u.
Gov. Morton, Of Indiana, recently in a
recent address, announces that large
quantities Of arns and ammunition have
been found secreted in the State, and
there remains much more undiscovered.
Coy. Brough, Of Ohio, is out,in an address
to the people announcing that resistance
to the draft will beseverely punished,
and imploring the people to obey the
laws.

WHEELER,s OPERATIoNs.--The sChatta.
nooga correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial gives a lengthy account al
Wheeler's operations up to the 18th ult.
According to this writer his force con
sists Of three divisions, commanded by
Kelly, .Humea, and Martin, and Williams
Kentucky brigade, accompanied by sec
tion Of artillery TO each division, making
q complete battery, and the whole sum
ming up about Ave thousand. With this
force he lett the rebel left near East Point
on the 10th Of August, taking with him
four days rations, and for some Of his
regiments fifty, and for others sixty
rounds Of ammunition, Moving east and
north, he crossed the Chattahoochee At
Roswell, and proceeded towards Kings-
ton. He made his frat appearance ON
the line Of the railroad between Kings
ss.en and Resaca, early on The morning
ofthe l4th, where he made a sudden dash
upon the road and began 10 tear up the
track, just before the approach of the
morning train, switch usually;conyeys the
down mail. He was speedily driven Oft
by the Yankees, and the slight damage
done to the road nearly repaired before
the arrival of the train. which was thus
detained but few minutes. Wheeler at
once drew back his forces, and by Z rapid
circuit to the rear, struck the road at
Dalton about three O'Clock in the after
noon The entire available force with
which TO make the defense OF the place.
/ consisted Of fye companies Of infantry
and one OF dismopnted cavalry, under
command Of Col. Seibolt, Of the I'd Mis-
souri, infantry, There were other loose
bodies of men, convalescents, fragments
fragments Of companies, suffers, quarter
masters, etc, and few unsrmed officers
and men, just passing through from the
front, forced TO aid in The defense. They
drove Seibolt of and took possession Of
Dalton, destroying everything. they did
not want and tearing NJ The railroad
track and turning the ties. The Yankees
were reinforced on the 18th and our forces
moved off 10 the eastward, entering
Cleveland, where they destroyed the t-le-
graph wire and the East Tennesses rOal.
Fitzpatrick is after Wheeler and the
Yankees think will snnibflSte his com

Vol, comd'g Fort Gaines, Alabama
CoLoNEL: In pursuance of the above
resolution, we, the committee appointed
by the meeting held this evening by the
officers composing the garrison, for the
purpose OF deliberating upon the condi-
tion of the defence of the place, now pro-
eeed to express the reasons that have
caused the meeting. to be held without
| your knowledge, and the conclusions we
have arrived at.
Yesterday morning the enemy's feet,
under terrific fire from the guns of Fort
Morgan, succeeding IN pHssing the forts,
and have now taken up their position in
our rear, determining after brief can
nonade, the evacuation Of Fort Powell.
We are cut of from all Communications
by land or sea, and inside of q fort whose
armament cannot in anywise effectually
respond 10 the guns of the fleet.
The fort itself is so weak and so ill-pro-
tected by its insufficient bomb proofs, and
the bastionnettes at the salients now used
As powder magazines that the surrender
of the place is no longer question to us
or TO any one else.
1t then becomes our duty to consider
whether a defence, entailing the respon-
sibility of heavy loss of life, will be of suf.
ficisnt usefulness TO compensate the sacri-
fee, and we unhesitatingly say no.
The position of the fleet is such as to
enfilade the paraPets, the parade ground,
the entire range Of casemstes inside, and
our bitches outside. Our pickets, whose
duty is ofa very trying nature, under their
exposure 10 the sun, and TO the fire of an
ansmv much more numerous than we
could possibly expect TO cope with sue
cessfuily, can be completely raked by its
naval force-and we feel confident that
under one, or perhaps Two single broad
sides Of the feet, Fort Gaines would be
completely dismantle the greater part
Of is defenders either dead CT wounded,
aud the position lost.
We know that Il will be urged that We
must hold on g. long as possible in order
that Mobile may make Preparations for
defence, and to keep the aoet here, but
10 this we answer that the fleet is only
stayine here because il is not ready to 60.
