OPERATIONS N sHHRNAN'S REAR-WHAT Has
sgBEIH AoooNFtfsHED.
The Macon Telegraph of the 9Th learns
that courier has arrived bringing full ac-
counts of Interpretations Of our cavalry IN
the rear OF the enemy on the State road.
1t sppeArs that when Wheeler frat reached
Dalton and turned of 10 the direction OF
Cleveland, he ordered Gen. Martin, COM
mandiug one of the cavalry divisions. to
blow up the tunnel ct Tunnel Hill. This
order was not obeyed, nor did Gen. Wheel
er hear OF 1t until Martins division had
left the road and formed . junction with
the main body of our forces. As soon,
however, as It was ascertained that the
order had not bsens carried into effect,
General Martin was placed under arrest
and sent back to Atlanta, and picked
body of men was detached from the COM
mand and sent to the State road with posi-
tive orders to destroy the tunuel at all haZ-
ards, as we'll as TO remain in the vicinity
of the road and capture all trains passing,
destroy the track, culverts and trcstle
work, and keep Sherman's communications
cut.
On Wednesday last, the courier reports,
our cavalry carried out these orders. The
day before they captured three trains la
den with ammunition and stores. The
stores were promptly destroyed with the
trains, but the cara laden with ammunition
were run back to the tunnel and placed
inside of it. Both sides of the tunnel were
closed up with rocks aud dirt, after the
powder had been arranged inside, and eV-
erything being prepared the train was
fred, and in Q few seconds the tunnel was
a mass of ruins. The Tslegrgphs inform
ant states that the courier reports its de-
struotiou as being complete. The tunnel
is now q perfect wreck, and will take at
least two months of hard labor to rebuild.
At last accounts our cavalry were still at
work tearing up the road, and twas be-
lieVed that they could not be driven of ex-
cept by very large force, which will
doubtless be sent against them now that
Atlanta has fallen 4
II the report be trGe-and i Is not i'm
is, says the Telegraph, .
aIimmer of hope for our arms yet 1t is
stated that Sherman has but few trains Of
cars south of the tunnel, and II these can
be captured by our cavalry, he will then be
unable to transport his provisions to At
lanta.
