FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST II.

The correspondents OF the new OK IlnleS
and Cincinnati Commercial, give such de
tails Of the cavalry expeditions, which were
gent out by Sherman to destroy the railways 10
the rear of Atlanta, as were known to the
writer's up to the Sd inst. 1t appears that
separate divisions were organized; that they
went by different routes and that each column
had its special duty assigned to it. These ex-
petitions were respectively commanded by
stoneman, McCook and Garrard. They were
composed Of the very best cavalry in the ser
vice: troopers being picked men, the horses
selected with special reference to their condl~
ton and ability to stand the fatigues OF long
and hazardous march. The number could not
have been less than seven thousand men. Sher
man S object was by grand concerted move
ment of nearly all his available cavalry, to sew
er suddenly all the connections Of Hood with
his base, and by SO doing, to compel the lat
ter to either evacuate Atlanta or to hold that
place at most serious hazard, knowing that
tie Federal cavalry, in strong force were OPP
Grating on his rear Garrard, after partially
performing the work assigned him, found him
self surrounded and had to cut his way through
to the Federal lines with the loss OF a portion
Of his command. McCook succeeded in des-
troying few miles of the Macon road and in
capturing train and number OF prisoners;
but, being beset on all Sides lost not only his
prisoners and train, but nearly all of his com
mand Stoneman was equally unfortunate.
Where yer be moved be encountered superior
force Of Confederates, ard was at length cap
tured together with FIVE hundred of his men.
The remainder were dispersed and driven into
the interior of Georgia. That these mishaps
must have greatly embarrassed General Sher-
man who shortened his lines and threw up
formidable works as protection against Hood 8
fierce and sudden attacks Abandoning De
catur, he has swung his forces round to the
west Of Atlanta.
Peaches were selling this morning, at IS
cts. per half peck. In Baltimore they sell
for 25a3O cts per bushel; Cantelopes good,
are sold in Baltimore, at 2a3 cts. a piece
Vegetables, such as tomatoes, corn cucum bers,
onions &C., In Baltimore, are far below the
prices asked here There is much feeling on
the subject Of the high prices kept up here
4 dispatch from Niagara Falls says: Mons.
Farini has succeeded in making his escape from

His brother walked out and hoated rope

to walk across the rapids to Goat Island, and
is now at his comfortable quarters at the In

MOBILE.

MOBILIZE.
The Philadelphia Inquirer of to day has AZ
article headed the s'Mysteries Of Mobile, 10
which it says that as there is no regular COM
munication with Richmond, it often happens
that details published On one day are incom
plete, in consequence Of no copy being reeeiy
ed Of the papers Of a day or twe previous
Thus after publishing dispatches from Mobile,
dated August zth AND 9Th, we have one to dag
of August 9Th, FROM which st appears that oa
Wednesday, the Sd of August, before the Fed
eral feet had made any demonstration beyond
q bozsbardment, Federal infantry force was
landed on Dauphine Island, IN the rear Oh
Fort Gaines On the night Of Friday, the 5th,
Colonel Williams, who commanded Fort Pow
ell, on the north side Of Dauphine Island, blew
up the fort and evacuated the position. There
was then no Obstacle to the investment OF Fort
Gaine by the Federal force, or to a lombard
ment of it from the rear, or to assault 1t, II 1t
was necessary There are curious c1rcum
stances connected with the accounts OF the sur
render. Anderson is reported to have soaa~
municated with Farragut by flag Of truce, and
With the consent Of Gen. Page, who command.
ed at Fort Morgan But the most cOrious
part of the affair is the statement that Gen,
Page himself visited Fort Gaines on the 18th.
at night. When there he learned that Al
derson was on board Of the Admirals ship, ar,
ranging the terms of capitulation. Instead %
remaining and taking command OF the fora
Page went back again to Fort Morgan eaving
orders that Anderson should be arrested upon
his return Anderson was not arrested, ana
the next morning the i. S. flag Vas flying
over one Of the forts.
The number Of petitions tor the dissolution
of marriage last year in England, exceeded The

It is said the Coufederates are refusing TO
