FROM PETERSBURG.

The Express saws that during the early part of
last week there was very little cannonading on the
lines, and an entire absence of any Smelling Of the
city There has been very heavy picket firing and
some skirmishing in front OF Mahone>s lines, how
ever, since the affair of Saturday morning.
The enemy burned the Davis House on the
Weldon Railroad, completely destroying it. No
reason was given for the wanton act, but it is in
common with their practice elsewhere, throughout
this war On Mr. Davis farm and IN full view of
his residence three battles fought tor the pos
session of the Weldon road; in each of which, the
Yankees were driven back to their main line of
works.
Grant is apparently lying passive until be can
receive such reinforcements as will enable him to
strike heavy blow He is doubt receiving
additions to his army every day, and will no doubt
be reinforced by large portion of Shermans men,
to aid him in accomplishing the capture of Peters
burg or seize the Southside Railroad. We do not
therefore look for any active movements Of impor
lance for some days to come
AS we have stated before, the families in the
rear of Grants lines, and those living in sections
subject to The raids from his army, are compelled
to submit not only to great prvations, but also to
insult and abuse from the insolent Yankee thieves
who visit their farms.
Plantations have been robbed of their remaining
slaves, horses, cattle, wagons carriages, etc, and
the vehicles are invariably loaded with valuables
and fruits before they are driven off. A few da-
ring scouts would bag the whole of this ruthless
gang, if sent to that neighborhood.
PETERSBURG, Sept. ia skirmish line of 80
of Warren's corps were surprised and captured
near Davis house, on the Weldon road, this morn
ing, in front Of Wilcox's division. The prisoners
have arrived here. With this exception, nothing
interesting on our lines to-day.
The enemy renewed their Smelling this after
noon. Several 15-inch mortar shells, loaded with
glass, BRASS copper, iron and lead, fell in the city,
but did no damage.
Our troops in fine spirits and eager for
fight.

YANKEE SCHEMES.

The New York Herald of the 3Oth ult, has an
editorial headed "The New Plan of Peace-How
to divide the South 10 which it distinctly recon-
mends the policy Of instituting negotiations with
the States separately, for the purpose Of detachipg
them from the Confederacy. It even goes so far
as to indicate North Carolina as State favourably
situated for the purpose of being experimental
upon. 1t says it has report that majority of
the recently elected legislature are in favor of
union, and knows that Governor Vance is not alto
gether we'll affected towards Jeff> Davis -"If the
President were to send Commissioners to him to
negotiate in regard to North Carolina alone, we
feel confident that they would be gladly received,
and that much good would come of it." We have
given the Heralds own words in the parts included
between quotation marks. 1t further says "Let
divide the ConfeGeracy and split up the rebel
armies by negotiating separately with the seeded
States"
We might quote more, but what we have quoted
is sufficient for our purpose, which is not to agree
with the Heralds statements in regard to the State
at large, or to her Governor and Legislature, but
to remark that the Herald, an arch enemy to our
cause, recommends the same policy to be employed
against that some politicians in this State advo-
Gated so strongly this year and last. Weallude to
separate State negotiations other separate State
action looking to peace. The Herald takes the
same view of it that every man with his eyes open
must take of it-that its only result would be to
divide the Confederaey and split up its armies.
1t vas by such tampering and palteriDg that
Kentucky, Maryland and Missouri were either lost
or paralyzed, and are now bound neck and foot to
the car of the usurping despotism at Washington
Had the people of those States stood up manfully
and at once, the independence of the South would
have been virtually achieved by that very act
They hesitated and have their reward in being
trampled upon by the vilest of tho abolition crew

AMALGAMATION AT ATLANTA.

A correspondent Of the Atlanta Intelgencer
writing from Jonesboro under date of September
8, speaks thus of affairs in Atlanta:
On Monday night, the Yankees had grand ball
at the Trout House, under the direction of Mrs.
Clements, its present proprietIess. Gen. Sher-
man and staff and his corps and division comnan-
ders patronzed the affair. About dozen women
of the town, not decent lady amongst them, at
tended the thing. But what was wanting in white
made up in niger. They mingled, oh! how
they mingled. Black and brown, white and gray
They began the dance with the Lancier's Quad
rifle. In which Gen. Sherman led off with Mrs
Clements for partner. His vis-a-vis, Gen. How
ard, had one of Mayor Jim Calhouns wenches as
partner. One of Sherman's staff danced with one
OF }. i Buchanan's niger women that he took
there himself. Billy Soloman's niger woman
lent the charms of her presence and her figure in
the dance, and had great deal Of attention paid
her. Billy Mark ham brought two bigger women
to the ball, and looked on the scene with grnning
admiration. He nobbed with the blue-bellies I'm
til he had to be retired in a carriage.
Several respectable negro women, who were in
officers for escorts, refused to go, and freely
pressed their dislike to the insult that was offered
them. They looked on it as anindignity to be
asked by the enemies of their country to associate
with the white women who attended the ball.
The negro women were fcted and toasted and
monopollzed the attention of the entire crew of
Yankees, and in fact some Of the sympathizers
who have affiliated. They waltzed, schottished,
polkaed and danced until everybody was tired and
drunk aud the stink became anendurable
