To General Dir
No intelligence from Atlanta later than
my telegram OF last night has been received.
The telegraph lines between Nashville and
Chattanooga were broken last night by
" heeler and we have had nothing south of
Nashville to-day. This accounts for the alb
sence Of later information from Atlanta. No
doubt is entertained Of the correctness Of the
report received last night which came from
two independent sources, beside the official
dispatch Of Gen Slocum
Unofficial reports this evening from Nash
vile state that the damage done by Wheeler
TO the railroad viii be speedily repaired-and
that Wheeler had retreated and Gen Ros-
seau was in pursuit, that in an engagement
between Rosseau' and Wheeler forces the
rebeiGen Kelly was Inortally wounded, and
is in our hands
\ telegram from Gen. Sheridan states
that Early has retreated UP the Shenandoah
Valley and is pursued by Sheridan, with his
whole army; and that Averill had attacked
Vaughan cavalry and captured twenty
wagons, two battle flags, number Of pris-
ouers. and q herd Of cattle

was no mistake about it, On entering the hut
| found the Old mRu and his chief wife sitting
side by side on a bench of earth, strewed over
with grass, aud partitioned like stalls for sleep
ing apartments, whilst in front of them were
placed numerous wooden pots of milk, and hang

shaped hut, large collection of bows, six feet
in length, whist below them were tied an even
larger collection of spears intermixed with a
goodly assortment Of heavy-headed asseges.

Lost in happy reverb,
Like playful spirits, delighted

The tlickering flames illuminate
New beauties everywhere.

From her check to her forehead fair;

Though we part for years Tomorrow
