Staunton and many are Laying. The sick
snd wounded and the government stores
have been moved to a place Of safety. !
Sheridan may take Stanton, but its
capture will avail him nothing. The val
ley, since. the war, began has been . race
ground. Sheridan has reached the other
end of the course, and if he don't pull up Of
his own accord, he will be pulled. From
Culpepper we hear that there is no enemy
in that country, except a small body Of
cavalry that recently burned q bridge at
Rapidan Station. President Davis arrived
at Macon, Ga, on the 22d instant, and
made speech there, he is going to Hoods
army. No movements of any consequence
by the enemy are reported up to the last
accounts. The expulsion of the citizens Of
Atlanta has been complete 1t was res
ported yerterday, that Hoods army was in
Sherman's rear, between him and 0hata-
nooga. A large force Of mounted Yankees
are collecting at Pound Gap with the in-
tention of making raid on the Virginia
Salt works, this we presume is the same
force that was at Lexington, Ky, two
weeks ago they. numbered about $4,000.

New YORK, Sept. 29.-The Commercial
Washington special says it is ascertained
that General Rousseau has routed Forests
forces completely, driving him nine miles.
The Government feels no apprehension
concerning Shermsn's communica tons.
keinforcements are constantly going to
General Sheridan.
Admiral Farragut will, 1t issaid, soon en-
gage ia very important naval operations.
The Evening Posts Washington spe-
cial says the War Department has decided
that drafted man may furnish a substi'
tute after he has been accepted and is in
camp.
The Georgia peace rumors are all prsma-
ture. The Government is in possession OF
no facts concerning the reported negotia.
tions.

Secretary Seward at the Front.

New YORK, Sept. 29.-The Herald's cor
respondent with the Tenth Corps, writing
on the 9th, says Secretary Seward, As
sistant Secretary of War Dana, and Sena-
tor Washburne Of Illinois, have been on a
brief visit to General Grant. Yesterday
they were escorted by Generals Grant, But
Ter, Birney aud Ord, on an excursion up
the river to the limits of our lines. On
approaching Dutch Gap, the enemy opened
on them with their battery at Howletts
house. As the she'll began to fall about
them thick and fast, the Secretary OF
State suggested that his weapon was the
pen, which seldom killed people, and that
he was not prepared to encounter rebel bat
teries with that weapon; thereupon the
boat was turned about and returned down
the river to Harrison's Landing, at which
point the distinguished guests were trans
ferred to the steamer Baltimore, and pro-
ceeded alone On their voyage home.
All the reports that have gone abroad
that the rebel Government is evacuating
Richmond are false.
1t is stated that JEFF. Davis has gone to
Georgia to head off Stephens and Brown
in their efforts to restore that State to the
Union. The situation in that direction, so
far as the rebel cause is concerned IS con-
sidered critical in the extreme, Snd nothing
short of Jeff.'s presence can reconcile the
citizens of that State to longer endur'
apce of the rebel yoke. Hoods army also
is reported to be in such a state of utter
decentralization that the presence of their
President is considered necessary to bring
them up to fighting point.

Peace Proposifions.

The New York Herald's Washington
special says peace proposition matters have
been so often made the subjectIo Of pure ca
nards that people are cautious in believing
any statements of that kind, and are will
ling to go MOI further than toiadnit that
where there is so much smoke there must
be some fire. In reference to the Georgia
propositions there's more fire than smoke.
II "a beyond doubt that, weak before last,
peace propositions from certain authorized
parties in Georgia were placed in the hands
of members of the cabinet. 1t may be de-
sirable to suppress this information for Ger
tain purposes until decision shall be at>
tanned, but this does not change the fact
that such propositions have been presented
for consideration.

WASHINGTON, Sept. ~.
Major General Die:
A dispatch received from Gen. Grant
gives a telegram contained in yesterday
Richmond Wing, dated at Charlottesville,
which says that our cavalry entered Staun-
ton on Monday, at 8 A. NJ, and that our
forces were also at Waynesboro; that no
damage had been done up to 4 in the eveno
ing, but that smoke indicated that they
were burning the railroad track between
| Christian creek and Staunton.
No direct communication has been had
with Gen. Sheridan for several days. The
couriers to and from him are known to have
been captured by the guerrillas that ipfest
the country in his rear. - ~
Dispatches up to $40 last night have
been received from Sherman at Atlanta,
but no movements at that point are res
ported. &c.. ..s ,a.,'-a-~ e.. ..
From Nashville our dispatches are to
$50 last night. The enemy did not attack
at Pulaski but took the pike towards Fay
ettsvile, and was pursued about nine miles
by our cavalry. General Rousseau is re
turning with his infantry to Nashville. Des-
perate efforts will be made by tho enemy to
force Sherman from Atlanta by destroying
his communications. .~ b. .t
The draft is quietly progressing in all
the States, but volunteer enlistments be-
ing more speedy than the draft. All loyal
and patriotic people should urge forward
rapid enlistments, in order to reinforce
Sherman, and enable him not only to hold
his position, but also without delay to
push on his campaign 80
