The medical department Of tho army is en-

November 6-p m.
The fight on the picket line, last night, wac
more serious than was reported In my previous
dispatch. It appears there is a point on tho
line near the crater which Ia not very straight,
and the enemy have been deslrous Of straight
cning Il by advancing their pickots and taking
possession of ground held by our men. Last
night was selected for the work, and the attack
was made lust about the timo the moon dlsap-
peared beneath the horizon. ...
Cot. McAllister's brigade Of the Cd division,
I'd corps, was on duty hero, and, having re
ceived slight intimatlon of an attack, were
somewhat prepared. The rebels succeeded In
reaching our limo with the loss Of 1--WE or six
killed and several wounded, and, being In
pretty strong force, got possession OF the 10
held by the 120th New York and the llth New
Jersey, taking q few prisoners. Our men fell
back until reinforced from the 120th and one
company from the 1lth New Jersey; and, after
quite an engagement, they retook the works,
capturing forty one prisoners. TheIemander
retreated to the point whence they started, but
q number fell beneath the shower OF shells
from our batteries.
Their loss is believed to be about one hun
dred men, altogether; and all who were badly
wounded, as well as the killed, still lie between
the works, neither party allowing the other to
advance TO their assistance.
Our loss Is about thirty, altogether, and few
of whom arc prisoners.
Before daylight this morning tho line was
re. established In the same place as formerly,
and to-day tho sharpshooters have kept up a
constant exchange Of leaden compliments.

Startling Movementsin In GeorEIa-GenerRI

ROME, GA. Oct. 30,--The promise made
Hoods army by JeG Davis tenders II necessary
that their "feet should again greet the soil of
Tennessee" To compass this Important pedal
necessity Hood, no doubt, Is endeavoring to
cross. We have good evidence tina: he has all
three Of his corps with him. In the meantime,
the militia of Georgia, their sorghum gath
cred, are being remarshaled to drive the Goth
corps from Atlanta, probably by grand Hank
ing movement, for which militia are admirably
| calculated.
Now, Sherman is adverse to permitting Hood
to have the planning of his fall campaign; and
so, day before yesterday, he broke up camp ceSi

Sherman, therefore, ignores the existence OF
Hoods army to tue extent of five heavy corps,
which, we may be sure, will not be idle The
4th corps, Gen, Stanley, will be in Decatur,
Alabama, by the time this reaches you. II
proceeds on foot, via Lafayette and Rossyllle
TO Chattanooga, where trains for Decatur
await it.
The paymasters have reached Atlanta, and
will pay the troops there before they embark In
any further movement.
The late pursuit has convinced Sherman thai
hG can more great distance into The eRcny'S ter
ritoTy and SuJsiSt mainly on torG1in1.
Hood, hereaftcr,w tight troops under com
mand of Gen. Thomas, (who is still at Nash
yille,) if he fights at all; and there can be moth
log comforting TO the enemy in the statement
that he will find an army of United States sol
dlers competent TO prevent him treadlng thl
soil of Tennessee TO reckless extent.

SECOND DISPATCH
CHICAGO, Nov. THE Journal says that tel
sgrams were received yesterday by JOHN Wont
worth, announcing the coming OF large mum.
Oers of bushwhackers. Col. Sweet, command.
ing Camp Douglas, was communicated with.
and orders were at once issued for the arrest OF
The desperadoes on their arrival.
The fact leaked out, and the "faithful" found
means to apprso their friends, and the bush.
whackers left the train at the city limits, and
scattered iu various directions, but the military
and police are constantly securing the city,
and have picked up hundreds of them. A pro.
peller, with nearly one hundred suspicious
characters, also arrived this morning from
Canada, and the military and police are aft er
them, and all will be captured.
Col. Sweet has for some time been aware OF
a rebel plot to release the prisoners at Camp
Douglas and burn the city, and his detectives
have beeu at work with success; and though
the evidence obtained was not sufficiently con-
elusive TO warrant the arrest OF these hundreds
of conspirators, Il was deemed necessary TO
strike at once such ones as were unquestlon
ably reasonable.

THE .NATIONAL SAILORS FAIR, which opens
at the Boston Theatre on the OH of November,
is q noble effort to supply great need and to
encourage q worthy class of men. The object
is TO provide home for seamen and marines
wounded or disabled in the naval service. No
provision Is made by law for such men, except
Tor the few who haye served twenty years. The
naval hospitals arc designed to cure the sick
and wounded sailor, SOFAS to lt him for further
service. permanently disabled he is left to
public or private charity, and too often tho
almshouse is the only refuge Of wounded
hero. Such a refuge the sailor breads more
than death.
The fair is therefore designed to establish the
Greenwich Hospital of America. 1t Ia matter
of pride that such national work should be
commenced in Boston, and our State pride, Al
well as our patrio. ism, is appealed to. No bet
ter method could be desired OF celebrating our
naval victories, or OF encouraging our naval
heroes.
The call of the ladies upon our people has
met a noble response. The theatre Is alto
gelher too small for the tables which are offered
Several States will 10 represented, and liberal
contributions of money as well as Of articles
vii! swell tho receipts OF this great charity.
The opening exercises On Wednesday evening
will be especially Interesting. Eloquent speak,
Crs will make addresBeB, and the best of music
will DO provided. The presence OF many dis
tinguished naval officers will add interest tC
tho occasion.

be the most brilliant and profitable ever held
