New YoRK, Aug. "a protest is issued
signed by Hon. B. F. Wade and Hon. q. W.
Davis, against the Presidents refusal TO
sign the bill passed by Congress last SEES
sion, providing for the reorganization of
states now or lately in rebellion against
the Union.
A Tribune's Washington special says:
Col. Chapman of the Sd Indiana cavalry
and Col. Mcintosh, both commanding Bril-
gades in Sheridan's cavalry, have been ap-
pointed Brigadier Generals.
There are good reasons for believing that
the rebels are about to move on our earth
works in front of Petersburg. Measures
have been taken which will render opera
tions Of that sort futile.
A riot occurred in this city to-day be-
tween a party of soldiers and negroes, in
which two soldiers were killed and several
wounded. The dwellings of the negroes
were burned by the soldiers, who were
willingly assisted by secession symPathi-
GERS.
A Times special, says the subscription
to the new loan during the past six days
amounts to Sc, 565, 800. This amount has
been subscribed in large commercial cities;
the west is yet to hear from.

MKNPH1s, Aug. 5.-There Is great aetiV.
ity in military circles here In carrying out
new movements.
Reliable information states that the rebel
Gen. 8. d. Lee has been relieved of The
command of the Department of Alabama
and Mississippi and ordered 70 report at At
lanta, it is supposed, to take Hoods old
command.
Forrest charges the recent defeat of A.
J. Smith to Lee and Dick Taylor at Neri-
dian, . week ago.
There are sports of the death of Forrest
by Ioekjaw, but they are not credited, ale
though his wound was sufficiently severe
10 prevent him from active service. Chal-
mers was in command of his forces.
The rebel troops west Of the Mississippi
river are expected 70 cross that stream to
reinforce Atlanta.
A gentleman who LEFT Mobile on the 3Ist
ult., says Hood has been reinforced by two
divisions from Beauregard's corps, from
Richmond, and two bFigades from Mobile,
He said that Mobile is said to be nearly
deserted Of troops, and the garrison of No
bile consists Of only two brigades Of reg
ulars and the Mobile militia. So great
were the fears that Mobile would be at
tackled between the 9Th and 18th of July,
that ct the urgent solicitation Of the Gov
ernor ana Mayor. the troops which had
been sent to reinforce Forrest were re-
called.

WAsHIHGroH, August s.-It is generally
understood that Early's force in the Shen.
andoah valley is $4,000. Military move
ments are being made 10 make him change
his position speedily.
A special to the Gazette, dated Nashville,
Aug. 8, says that an officer from the frOnt're-
ports the following as the result of Stone.
mans raid on the Macon railroad: Stone
mans force consisted of Gen. Ed. MeCook's
division Of cavalry, composed Of Longs
and one other brigade. The Macon road
was torn up for Is miles, the rails and ties
burned and the road made q complete
wreck. On the return march McOook fell
in with large wagon train on which was
much private property, and all Of Hoods
papers. Near Newman q quantity Of Whis-
ky was captured, and here trouble began.
The rebel Gen. Rains, who was in pursuit
came up with McCook, when fight ensu-
ed aud McOook was routed. About 500
reached Marietta, who report the surrender
of the main body 1900 strong, and that
McCook was killed. Among the troops in
McOook's division were three or four Ohio
regiments, the 2nd Indiana, and 4th regu-
lar cavalry, by actual count 5000. Ninety
rebels were killed in the battles on the
goth, 22d and 2sth.

NASHVILLE, Aug. 5th.-Gan. SLOVENIAN
sent force of cavalry, Longs and La
oranges Brigades, 3 ,20O strong. on the 26th
ult., under command Of Gen. Ed. AeCook,
to destroy the Macon and Weston road
They had destroyed Is miles Of the road
and started to capture q train Of 500 Wag-
ous, going from Atlanta to Macon or Col
umbus. McCook captured this train near
Newman, with 500 men including l2T of
fcers. The wagons were ladened with
liquors and private property Of Gen. Hood
and others. After possessing themselves
of what they wanted the wagons were
burned. McOook started to return with
the prisoners and 300 mules, but was over
taken by q rebel force under Gen. Ransom,
90 large as to completely surrounded him.
A desperate engagement followed, during
which many Of McCook's men escaped and
found their way to Marietta. The number
of Federals captured, it is supposed will
reach 1000. This disaster is attributable
to the troops psrtaking too freely Of liquors
found in the captured train.
Longs brigade consisted Of the 3rd and
9Th Ohio, 2nd Indiana and 4th regulars
Part of Lagrange's brigade was composed Of
troops who served with Gen. Rosseau in
the late expedition. Forrest Is reported at
Atlanta with Hood.
Two hundred and thirty seven confede-
rate prisoners reached here last evening,
including IL commissioned officers.

HOTTIE MILITIA CALLED OUT.-Y ester
day morning rumor gained currency that
in consequence of the threatening aspect
of the situation in the vicinity of Cumber-
land and New Creek, Gov. Foreman had
called out the militia of the city. Later
in the day an order was received from
Brig. Gen. Crawford, calling out the mill
itia, and in accordance with this order,
Col. Sweeney of the 4th, and Lieut.. Col.
Hubbard, of the 9th regiment, Immediately
issued notices calling out their regiments.
The several orders were printed and posted
upon our bulletin board, together with the
dispatches from Gen. Kelley which appear
elsewhere, and attracted great crowds of
the able. bodied population. A great ma
ny people suddenly recOllected that they
had business abroad, and sundry fishing
and hunting parties were talked of.
Very few of the members of either of the
regiments responded to the order-perhaps
not more than forty of each-owing to the
fact that the men were not notified. After
some consultation, the men were adjourned
to meet this afternoon at O'Clock, attheir
respective places of rendezvous.

Sherman's army WAS in motion that day

movement.
Sherman's delay before Atlanta was for
the purpose of keeping the rebels there, in
RhIch he bias succeeded admirably.
