GENERAL LEES DISPATCH.

Nothing of interest transpired about
Hanover Junction on yesterday. The fol-
lowing official dispatch concerning the
events of Tuesday was received at the Wal
Department on yesterday:
TAYLoRsvILLE, May A-9:30 P. NJ.
Hon. James a. Seldom: ..u..
The enemy has been making feeble attacks
upon our lines to-day, probably with a view
of ascertaining our position. They were
easily repulsed. General Mahon drove
three regiments across the river, captur-
ing stand of colors and some prisoners,
among them an aid-de-camp of Gen. Ledlie.
r. r. LEE.
Official information was received last
evening that some skirmishing had oc-
Cured during yesterday at different points
of the line, but apparently without i'm
portant results. 1t is probable we shall
soon have to record another grand battle,
and as General Lee is supposed to have the
enemy just where he wants him, it is like
wise supposable that Grant is destined to a
decisive defeat.
ALL QUIET ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
From The Richmond Examiner, May 26.l
All was quiet on the south side yesterday
as far as could be ascertained. No firing of
importance occurred during tho day. OF
the proceedings of Monday, the Petersburg
Erpress says that little firing of musketry
or artillery occurred, and our soldiers en-
loved with zest that rest that they so
much needed. An occasional charge of ar
tillery and the sharp crack of rifle or
musket, at long intervals, were all that re-
lieved the dull monotony of the field. But
it is quite apparent that this state of quie-
tude cannot long continue. Preparations
are doubtless on the tapis which will at an
early day give the enemy about as lively a
time as they ever enjoyed. These lively
scenes may come off to-day, or they may
be deferred until tomorrow or next day, or
even next week, but occur they certainly
will and then we shall see how Butler, the
Beast, who, Yankee journals tell us, COM
mands in person, will stand the storm.
THE GEORGIAN REBELS FLEEING TO ATLANTA.
From The Richmond Examiner May 2e.l
ea ATLANTA, May %, 1854.
Westward and eastward, to Columbus,
the harmless people of Northern Georgia
are crowding into this city to await the is
sue of the impending struggle between our
army and the Federal. The relief commit
tee here are pouring out everything that
can be obtained for their sustenance, and
call now to the people of Georgia, Alabama
and South Carolina to aid and help them.-
Immediate, instant help is needed in cloth
ing for women and children, bacon, salt
meats, fish, meal and corn. These things
can be delivered to the agent of the express
company, addressed to j. w. Duncan, Pres
ident of Relief Committee, Atlanta. They
also need information as to where any num-
Der of destitute females can find shelter and
food. Will the press please publish these
and aid in the matter?
Two press reporters came from the army
this evening. Their intelligence is mostly
of character which prudence requires
should be withheld from publication.
The Yankees are reported moving down
to Dalton (Dallas?) in force. This morning
some skirmishing took place on our extreme
lett. The alarm in this city has in great
measure subsided. Several days may elapse
before general engagement takes place.
