For the Gd5,tfe.
.Nr Eiitor-A special an delishttu
treat was enjoyed by large circle of
lends and neighbors on the evenii q
Of the 29th and Both ult., at the close
of the Female School founded by the
Intelligent liberality of Major William
Wilson, of Wayne township. He has
built neat school room, employed Il
competent teacher, and gwen the
neighbors and others the privilege OF
sending their daughters-necessarily
limiting the number of pupils to the
ability of one teacher; several from Il
distance have been in attendance.
Miss Dox, the present accomplished
instructress, has nobly carried on what
her predecessor had so well begun.
The course is we'll managed; besides the
usual and useful branches it includes
vocal and piano music. The barn in
which the exercises were held was We
ry tastetully decorated with evergreens
and flowers, and beautifully testooned
with two large and elegant national
flags. The exercises consisted OF dia-
lOgues, tableaus and music. vocal and
piano, with a short address on educa-
ton by Mr. Clarke, and afforded proof
of the fidelity Of Miss D. and of the
improvement of her pupils. The au-
dience was large and happy, and with
out destruction of church or party, and
with the good cheer of Major and Mrs.
Wilson, and the ice cream and cake of
the ladies, that noble charity the Chris
tian Com mission realized more than
one hundred dollars. The energy and
public spirit of the founder Of this
school does him credit and the county
an honor, and more of such would be
an unspeakable benefit to other neigh
borhoods. c..

" '+ASuINtION, J utN % " III
The following telegram, dated 10 day
at Malta, Georgia, WAS received this
evening from General Sherman. Civ.
ing the successful result OF the fang
ing operations in progress tor some
days back:
"The movement on our right caused
the enemy to evacuate. We occupied
K"nesaw at daylight, and Marietta at
$50 Il. IN. Gen. Thomas is moving
down the main road toward the Chat
tahoochie; Gen. Mcpherson toward
the mouth of the Nicka Jack on the
Sandtown road; our cavalry is on the
extreme flank Whether the enemy
will halt this side of the Chatahoochie
or not will soon be known. Marietta
is almost entirely. abandoned by its in
habitants, and more than mile Cf tho
railroad iron removed between the
town and the foot 0f Kenesaw."
A dispatch from Gen. Grants head
quaters, dated at O'clock this morn.
ing, gives the following results of GEN
Wilson's operations:
'SiXty miles of railroad were thor
oughly destroyed. The DanvilIe road,
General Wilson reports, could not be
repaired in less than forty days, even
if all the materials were on hand. He
has destroyed all the blacksmiths' shops
where the rails mi ght be Strengthened,
and all the mills wi ere scantling for
sleepers could be sawed. Thirty miles
of the South Side Railroad were de-
ST. Dyed. Wilson brought in about
four hundred negroes and many of the
vast number of horses gathered by his
forces. He reports that the rebels
slaughtered without mercy the ne
groes they retook. Wilson's loss of
property is small wagon train, used
to carry ammunition, his ambulance
train, and twelve cannon. The horses
of the artillery and wagons were gener-
ally brought off. OF the cannon two
were removed from the carriages, the
wheels of which were broken, and the
guns thrown into the water, and one
other gun had been disabled by a reb-
i el shot breaking the trunnions before
| it was abandoned.
"He estimates his total loss at from
750 to 1000 men, including those lost
! from Kautz's division"
A rebel force made its appearance
near Martinsburg this morning, and
were at the last accounts destroying
the railroad and advancing on Martins
burg. The reports received as yet
are too confuse and conflicting to de-
/ termine the magnitude of the force or
the extent OF its operations.
