A Dcmocrn.lo Turnout.

The most aristocratic and royal equipage at
Newport this season is that of August Belmont,
the chairman of the Democratic National Com
mittee, rich New York banker. 1t is thus
described in the New York EUeIing Post:
at consists of 4 low barouchc drawn, by four
elegant and fiery thorough breds with postil-
ions mounted ON the left or near horse on each
pair. Two footmen in extreme livery are sus-
pended from a high seat on the back of the car
riage, technically called the 'umble.' The ba-
rouche is lined with rich satin damask, and the
outside trimmings are of heavy guild. The pos
tilions are dressed in buckskin breeches and
high-top boots, with black sillx-velVet Jackets
and caps highly Ornamented with gold lace
The men are peculiarly well formed, having
been selected and trained in Europe with espec-
ial reference to their build and the extra size of
eircalves. Their livery is imported at a cost
of about one thousand dollars a suit, and the
cost of the whole can be conjectured when
state that the horses are valued $25000, the
carriage at $4,000, and the harness and other
trappings at $4,000. When the royal cortege
makes its appearance on the avenue with the
democratic prince in full costume all other We
hicles instinctively give way, as though the oc-
cupant was indeed a crowned head. The sta
bles of his democratic majesty said to contain
some forty horses, valued at $1,000 to $4,000
each

In honor of the capture of Atlanta Gen. Grant
yesterday, ordered Salute TO be fired with
shotted guns from every battery bearing OH the
enemy. ii
Nothing has been received by the Department
from Atlanta since the 4th, nor any thing south
of Nashville on account Of arrangement of the
telegraph wires by the prevailing storms.
No movement of importance had taken place

News from Sherman's army, to-day, makes
the enemy's loss 900 killed and wounded. We
captured 1000 prisoners, among them is Brig

of material was captured. The Army is in full
possession of Atlanta.

To Mdj. Gen. DiG:
This department is still without any dispatch
es from the South of Nashville, 1t is supposed
to be Sherman S design towithdraw his advance
columns and give bis army rest in Atlanta, and
establish himself securely there, and restore his
railroad communication broken by Wheeler and
Forrest, before he makes any further advances.
No operation by the Armies of Gen. Grant or
Sheridan are reported to-day.
The Provost Marshal Generals Office is buis-
lily employed in arranging the credits of the
several districts, and is ordered to draft without
delay for the deficiencies in the districts that
have not filled their quota, beginging with those
most in arrear, Credits for Volunteers will be
allowed as long as possible, but the advantage
of filling the armies Immediately requires the

The Draft will probably not take place before
the 10th inst. The official edition of the Laws
of Congress says sixty (nOt fifty) days notice
shall be given by the President before Draft.
1t appears that the copy of the law in the hands
of the President was imperfect. So that if the
official law be followed, the 10th of this month
will be substituted for the 9th.
Provost Marshal Fry states that credit OF
900, 900 has been divided among the several
States, leaving 300, 600 men to be raised. OF
this number, it is estimated that about $50, 900
have volunteered, leaving $50, 900 to be drafted
unless they volunteer by the time the Draft
comes off-due notice of which will be given.
Government bOunties will continue to be paid
until the Draft takes place.

wha. Gen. Grunfz movement Means.


On the face of it, his late movement
means cooperation with Gen. Buffers for-
ces, now engaged in cutting the canal
across the peninsula at Dutch Gap. The
James River makes an extraordinary bend
at a point beginning some miles below
Drury's Bluff, and forms peninsula of
which the river circuit is six miles, while
the neck of it is less than third of a mile
in width. Thepeninsula is known as Far
rar's Island. Under the lee of the island
have been stationed the rebel gun-boats,
and at various points of the rivers course
about it are sunk the Instructions to the
the channel To cut canal through Dutch
Gap will leave the rebel fleet high and dry
in the old river bed,-supposing they elect
or are forced to remain,-and will open a
new channel beyond Instructions. 1t is
said that above this point there are no OBJ
stacles except Fort Darling, to the passage
of our fleet up to Richmond.
The rebels are endeavoring by an enfiIad-
ing fire from their gunboats and from the
high ground at Howlett's Landing, to stop
the laborers engaged in cutting the canal,
but at the last account the work was going
on, and water, it is expected, viii be let in
this week. The bank to be cut through is
over fifty feet high. The canal is to be
about eighteen feet deep, which will float
the largest vessels We have on the James
River Cleveland Herald

A Memphis letter to the Columbus Jour
nal, in an account of WHEELER's recent raid
ON that city, says: et fa.4.
The escape of Generals Buckland, Wash
burne and Hurlbut was almost miraculous.
The latter named officer was in the city ON
his way to the Department ofthe Gulf
Our whole loss in killed, wounded and
captured is less than 200, while that of the
enemy is more, especially in killed and
wounded. The praise of Gen. Buckland
is in the mouths of all, citizens and soldiers,
for his good Judgment and prompt action.
During the whole excitement he was as cool
as when ON parade, and by his activity In
the disposition of the troops saved the city
from being sacked and probably destroyed.
