The following official War bulletin was pub.
llshed yesterday morning:
war DEPARTMENT,
WAsHIE0IOE, Sept 3, II p. m.
Major General Dir, Nei0 York!
No intelligence from Atlanta later than my
telegram OF last night has been received.
The telegraphlc lines between Nashville and
Chattanooga were broken last night By
Wheeler, and we have had nothing south OF
Nashville to-day. This accounts for the ab-
sence of later informalon from Atlanta.
No doubt Is entertained here of the correct
ness of the reports received here last night,
which come from two independent sources, be-
sides the official dispatch Of General slocum.
An official report this evening from Nash
vile states that the damage done by Wheeler
to the railroad will be speedily repaired, and
that Wheeler had retreated-General Rosseau
is In pursuit; that In an engagement between
Rosseau's and Wheeler's forces, the rebel
General Kelly was mortally wounded, and Is in
our hands.
A telegram from General Sheridan states
that Early has retreated up the Shenandoah
Valley, and Is pursued by Sheridan with his
whole army; that Averill had attacked Vaughn's
cavalry, and captured twelve wagons, two
battle flags, a number Of prisoners and herd
of cattle.

mated at about $4,000. The body of Allen

that Sherman had whipped Hood; that the lat

Howard found the enemy In force at Jones.
boro, and entrenched his troops-the salient
within half mile of the railroad.
THE enemy attacked him at . p. m, and was
easily repulsed, leaving his dead and wounded.
Finding strong oppc 1ition on the road, !
advanced the left and centre rapidly to the rail-
road, made a good lodgment, and broke II all
the way from Rough-and-Ready dswn to How.
