which under the pretense Of military neces-

Wing contains rumors that Hood took De-
catuF, Atlanta, and captured garrison Of
900 troops, half of whom were colOred,
on the 2sth. A rebel attack on Hunts
vile, Alabama, is reported.
The Montgomery Mail of the TCh is ex-
pectinR an early advance on Augusta or
Macon, by Sherman. The Richmond Ex-
aminer ridicules any such movement.
The rebel newspapers have an amusing
despatch in reference to the last cavalry
fight in the Shenandoah Valley, in which
the rebels were sent whirlipg through
Front Royal and lost two guns, prisoners,
&c. The rebel despatch says that Sheri-
dams men were driven back with heavy
loss, including 200 prisoners captured,
while Early's loss was slight.
The Richmond Sentinel of the 14th says
Union BrigRdier General deserted from
the Potomac army on the 18th and reach
ed the rebel lines, and that Lincoln has
called for a million of men. The Sentinel
don't vouch for these Fumors.
The rebel newspaper files contain Gen.
Forests official account Of the destruction
of the Union gunboats and transports on
the Tennessee river, linear JOhnsonVille.-
Four gunbOats, fourteen steamers aud
twenty barges are claimed as having been
set on fire and burned, and an immense
amount Of valuable property destroyed.
We give this as stated. All the immense
supplies in store ct JOhnsonVille had been
been destroyed, for we have since learned
that Jacksonville is still held by the Union
forces, and that but very small portion
of any supplies there were burned.
The bombardment of Charleston is re-
ported as still being continued with stead
mess and severity. Ten Union war yes-
sells and 70 transports are reported at Hill
ton Head.
