The evening edition of the American,
publishes the following We have been
able to ascertain this morning nothing
definite with regard to the rebel move
ments al Nartinsburg, and-along the line
Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
further than that most of the exciting stO-
ries in circulation Monday were either
unfOunded or greatly, exaggerated. As far
rs we can ascertain this morning Averill
has not been killed, but was compelled by
greatly superior forces to fall back to the
Potomac, and from thence through Mar
tinsburg to WilliamspOrt, Maryland, car
rying with him the entire garrison at that
point. Whether the rebels occupied Mar
tinsbUrg last night is not known, but ofits
evacuation there seems to be no doubt.
This morning the trains to Frederic ks
burg went out as usual, and train for

The suspension Of telegraphic opera
tions last night is said to have been cansed
storm. Hunter has, however, forbidden
all telegraphic communication with Har-
pers Ferry, ,-and of course we have nothing
definite from that vicinity. The "Ameri-
can's' Point Lookout correspondent says
that during last week there were
large arrivals here of refugees from the
South, consisting of odd men, women and
children of all nationalities. They say
that the authorities at Richmond grant
free passes to all wonen and children an6
old men who wish to come North. Some
of these refugees say that when crossing
the Rappahannock they heard that Sheri-
dan had attacked Early in his retreat, and
re-taken a large number of cattle and
wagons The fight is said to have taker
place near Staunton.

The Spirit of the Wounded soldiers in
the Nashville Hospitals.

A Nashville correspondent writes:
As to the wounded soldiers from the
front, so many of whom are in hospitals
here, their confidence in the result is with
out shadow and absolute. They represent
with one voice the spirit of the army as
animated, and strongly expectant of COM
ing success. Severely wounded, MANNED
as many of them ara, L have not found a
man who bowails his sufferings in the
cause, or who regrets his having left home
to take part in the hard work, stern con-
hicts, and sore suferings of this heroic
army. A more hopeful body of men it
would be hard to find. otalk with these
with one of these noble fellows, lying
cheerful on his little cot, with a arm or a
leg Topped away, hear him tell his soldiers
experience, describe the issue of the strug-
gle and give the reasons for the faith that
is in him, would, if anything could, con-
vert a Copperhead intOa stannch Q nionist,
and uncompromising voter for men and
money to carry on the war. If it is good
at times forF men to be taught by their
enemies, it were surely profitable for a
countrys enemies to be taught by its
friends, men who have shown friendship
and fidelity, by suffering and bleeding to
shield its honor and maintain its integrity.

Total Of men for the war ..... ! ,2II, pa
From these are to be deducted those
who have gone into the Invalid Corps, the
killed, wounded and deserters, and also
the number of those who enlisted in 1861,
and do not now re-enlist. The remainder
will form our present military force. 1t
will easily be seen that by making a rea-
sonable allowance for each of these sources
Of deduction, it viii appear that the vari-
Gus calls, so far as they have been filed,
have maintained the army at an effective
standard of from 100000 to 100000 men
The longer the war has continued, the
greater the forces required to occupy the
recovered territory, and the fact is eredita-
bic to US, that this has been so firmly and
systematically done that not one of the
hundreds Of towns, forts and posts taken
by us have ever been retaken and held by
the enemy. The enrolment includes over
three millions who have not yet rendered
any military service. Cur resources in
men are still great. Our immigration
alone far exceeds, numerically, our losses
by the war A failure therefore, to pros
eeute the war to its triumphant conclusion,
for want of men and means, is not to be
thought of. We have but opened the
mine, not exhausted it; nor does our pat
riotism need to be pufed up with Aimsy
and false exagerations of our sacrifices or
our losses, however great they may have
been

The pesoIntiOn Of Northern IsaorrIa.

l have stated that the country is unable
to furnish the army with supplies Geor-
gia was grain growing State. In 1860
she produced 2,548, 900 bushels of wheat
and 30,7T6,00O bushels of corn. The part
of the State so far traversed by our army
was as fruitful of cereals as any. And
other things being equal, it might have
been expected that some considerable por-
ton of the substance of an army could
be procured along the line Of its march
During the rebellion great part of the
supplies of that description have been
drawn from Georgia. And during the oc-
cupation of the Northern Georgia line,
and during the epresent campaign the army
at Dalton, and the army which had dis
puted our advance southwark, has been
fed entirely from this country. Besides,
the enlistment and conscription for the
army has taken nearly all the laborers
from the fields. White women and ne
groes cultivated the field and raised the
crops of the last season, with the trihing
and boys. We have found the country
just what is the natural result of such
causes, Without vegetables and the few
fields of corn now growing, the population
left at home could not subsist until winter
Numbers have not even these-are Stripped
absolutely to the point Of desolation by
the retreating rebels, and must be fed by
the north. Such destitution and poverty
so universal and abject in 50 rich and fruit
full a country, is found only in the fields
desOlated by war.
The majority of these unfortunate peo-
pie are of the class known in the verna-
cular of negro-owners, or "poor white
trash, not unfrequently representatives
of the better class are found. Both classes
by education and experience, are unfit to
be thrown upon the world in strange
State They cannot be sustained here and
must go to those places in whicn supplies
can be easily furnished. iA-

To the Editor Of the Wig;
The editors of the Richmond and Peters
burg papers have been making fun of the
declaration of the Northern press that
Grant would soon startle the countryswith
another brilliant exploit" Do YOU sup
pose that Grant has kept fifty thousand
men in complete idleness for six weeks, or
fancy that his whole time has been oceu-
pied in fortifylng himself and organizing
raids? If so you will find yourselves
vastly mistaken, and that within a very
few days.
In what manner came into possession
of the facts which l am about to narrate
is not material Suffice it to say they are
facts, as time will prove. Perhaps few
hours may bring the dreadful realization
1 tremble to think of it.
Know then, that our loved Cockade city
will soon be, if it is not at this very mo-
ment, thoroughly undermined. Grant, far
from being content to blow up the rebel
fortifcations, has determined to destroy
the entire. city, as by tremendous blast
from the Internal regions. In a single in
stant every building in the principal
streets OF petersburg Will De lifted on hlgn
and scattered to the four winds Of heaven.
You may laugh at this, but it is 50. My
informant has seen a diagram of the mines
which, when completed, will extend the
length of BoingbroOk,, Bank, Sycamore
and Old streets, and perhaps as far as the
old Fair Ground on the South side of the
city. 'This is incredible and impossible
on the face Of it,i4 you will
say. Very well, you are welcome to your
opinion. But you viii be good enough to
tell me what feat ever attempted with the
pick and spade the Yankees have failed tc
execute. And viii You explain to me the
meaning of Grants long inaction. tel
you this is no canard-would that it were
but plain statement Of facts, procured
by me from an entirely reliable source.

General Grant lost nearly one huudred

advantage whatever, by pursuing, by or
der of the President, the overland route

sued the route by water he would not have
lost man. In this view, the country now

simply because it was General McClellan's
plan; nearly one hundred thousand men
nselessly slaughtered, the capture of Rich

slaughter of more thousands of men.
