The RAka. Of the iIih. states that a consider.
able body Of Yankees made Their appearance on
Monday, 10 the rear Of Dalton, in tss nsiehhor-
hood Of Rssaca station. The number was estl-
mated Al several shouHsnd. They attempted to
rssurn by shs route they came, bus fornd some
Confsderates IN their way, aud At the last &C.
counts were in = veFy anxious state Of aubiosy
as to whether they would be able to get back 10
Chattanooga without going by way Of City
Point. AppropTissc arrangements are said to
have been made for gathsring up the entire
party The most Of then win probably get 20
Atlanta ina day or two in freight cars.
The Rome Courier CT the I0sh says that
the enemy arc reported advancing ia that dirsc.
ton, on the road that leads across Taylor's
ridge 70 Yllsnow. Il IS said that on Sunday
evening their camp extended from tho top Of the
rountain % she foot on this side. This is prob
sbly an effort to pass Johnston's left flank, and
i may be their intention to get to his rear by q
shorter route than coming By Rome.
The Ysnks crossed at Slips gap, in TsylOr's
ridge, and arrived At Villsnow Sunday sfteE-
noon. They seUt a scouting party to within
