ARMY TRANSPORTATION.
We begin to feel the importance of fhav-

the past two days, have been very bad,
owing to the heavy rains, and many bat
teTies and wagons were stalled. Captain
Estep, of the l4th Corps, was compelled,
night before last, to abandon 81, 500 worth
of his ammunition, for the want of transpOr-
tation. Several wagons, loaded with for
age and supplies, have been lost, by STALL

rear and pick up all stragglers. The wa
gon trains of the army, however, keep well
up, and We have an abundance Of provis-

One road is kept open with Marietta
and Winnings Station, via Sandtown, at
which point the river is crossed, and
the route on the north side of the river,
which is quite sale, is taken by couriers

NEW YoRK, Sept. 6.
The Herald's City Point correspondent,
Of Sept. 4th, says;
The Richmond papers affect to ridicule
the idea of the loss of single railroad be
ing vital to their occupation of Petersburg
and Richmond, but general despondency
betrays itself in the same issue.
A correspondent writes from Reams'
Station:
The battle grodnd several days after the
withdrawal of our forces speaks sorrow-
fully Of the thorough destruction Of nine
miles of railroad track and iron by Ham
cocks corps, pronounces its repossession
by the rebels hopeless and impossible. He
says, the crops adjacent to the road on both
sides, are utterly destroyed along its entire
distance. The fences are destroyed by
using them for fire. The timbers of the
track, houses and barns are generally re-
duced to smouldering ashes.
The Tribune's Washington special
says:
Major General Hunter has been re-
heved at his own request from the com
mand OF the Department of West Vir-
ginia, and BreYet Major General George
Crook IS assigned to the command in his
place.
