Particulars Of. stoneman,s Raid.

NASHVILLE, Aug. .ll.-Information II from
Marietta to the 9th inst, gives particulars
of St0neman's raid. On July 9th, the 9Th
and 9Th Indiana cavalry, and two sections
of the oath Indiana battery, set out for Ma
con to relieve the Union officers imprisoned
there. The expedition arrived too late-the
rebels had removed the prisoners to place
of greater safety. Gen. McCook's forces
started at the same time to effect q junction
with Stoneman, but were overtaken by an
overpowering force and obliged to let Stone
mans command cut its way out. The rebels
attacked them on Saturday, July 30th, and
the engagement lasted all that day until
late at night. on
Sunday morning found them completely
surrounded. COL Adams, finding resist
ance hopeless, escaped to Marietta: Col
Capron, With his command, escaped once,
but was again surrounded and his men were
cut to pieces. The 9th Indiana also cut
through the enemy's ranks, but were again
attacked. Their fate is unknown to in
formant. Gen. Stoneman, Colonels Biddle
and Butler. Majors Thompson and Soper,
Captains Whiteman, Elliott and Finney,
Lieutenants Anderson, Stanton, Angel,
Lindsay, John Hubbard, Miller, Simmons
and Clegg, are prisoners. Lieutenant Chit
tenden, killed. Company i, 9th Indiana, lost
fearfully.
A soldier who escaped reports that the
rebels surprised Col. Caprons company,
shooting his men and Draining them with
guns while asleep. The 9th Indiana lost
about four hundred men.
Three hundred and eighty prisoners of
war, including fifteen commissioned Off
GERS, arrived here to-day.
Major General Palmer reached here this
morning, en- route for Washington. 1t is
reported he has been relieved of the COM
mand of the 18th Corps. ...-.
Later information is to the effect that Col.
Capron, with several squads Of his men, is
in Marietta. This will reduce Stonemans
loss to less than 1000.

Travel ON the Overland Route.

DENVER CRY, Aug. 10.-In regard to the
safety Of travel on the overland route, 1t is
proper to say that although the Indians
have been very troublesome of late in at
tacking unarmed trains and numbering gem
igrants unable to defend themselves, there
run regularly both ways. The mails were
ordered to be stopped at Atchison to-day
by the Superintendent Of the overland line,
owing to the stock being carried of from
some Of the stations; but It is believed that
our troops are being so distributed along
the route as fully TO protect it.

Some intensely "loyal'' editor who is

If we had not heard the same stuff many

ANOTHER DRAFT is mentioned by authority
as likely to absorb the excess Of quotas
raised in towns and precincts, and if we
did not also know that such vain-glorious
trash was written to help Lincoln to re-
election, we might put some confidence in
the nonsense:
1.-The war is on its very last legs all the
signs show it as plainly as signs ever show
ed to Israel that the God of deliverance
was at their very door when freedom should
come and give peace to their land and peo-
pie We ask for signs, and is not Grants

Is not Sherman seated in the heart of Geor.

power. Is not Lincoln about to be re.
confirmed, and is not that copperhead snpre-
macy, so ardently hoped for by jeff Davis
in view of federal surrender, to be blasted
by the Presidential election just at hand
Have the rebels not raised their last man
and are not their armies already so dwind
led by disaster and desertion as to breed
CONSERVATION visible and damning? And
are we not coming Father Abraham, 500,
