GES. BEAGG.-Some one started a silly
story 'ha, Gen. Bragg oidered the evac

OF the enemy on that city a few weeks
ago. The report greatly excited the FIRE
OF our generally cool cotsmpors'ies Of the
Petersburg Register and Richmond En-.
quirer. But, as might have been expec.
ted, the charge had no foundation in
truth. Gen. Bragg not only denies ever
having issued such sn order, but says he
