On the Goth ult. q cavalry force, consist
ing OF two brigades over three thousanc
strong, under tho command Of Gen. Nc
Cook, was sent to destroy the Macon anC
Western Railroad. They succeeded in de-
stroying eighteen miles of the road, anc
started TO capture n rebel train OF 500 wag
ons. which were going from Atlanta to Ma
con or Columbus.
Gen. McCook captured this train, with
near 500 men. including l27 officers.
The wagons were loaded with valuable

pers of Gen. Hood and Others.
Aiter possessing themselves of what they
wanted. our men burned tie wagons.
Gen. McCOok started to return with the
prisoners and 800 mules, but was overtaken
by the rebels in force under Gen. Ransom.
This force was 80 large as to completely sur.
round our forces.
Nothing remained but for our troops 10
cut their way through and escape as best
they could. From the last accounts received
Gen. McCook with 1900 Of his command
had reached Marietta. Others had reached
the same point previously, so that the miss.
ing will not now exceed 800.
All prisoners previously taken by McCook
were abandoned. About 500 mules were shot
by him before Ransom captured them.
Our loss In killed is slight, four-6fths OF
the absentees being prisoners.
General Sherman alludes to the raid as
successful.
Gen. Stoneman. in his effort to relieve Nc
Cook, fell into the hands OF the rebels, with
500 OF his command.

The rebels at Petersburg have tried their
hand at the mining business, with hardly
success enough to create q sensation. They
blew up mine last Friday evening before

had not dug to within forty yards OF our
works no damage was done. They also ut
tempted to make charge, cheering loudly.
but must have felt chagrined at finding them
selves so far from our lines. Considerable
firing was kept up for an hour. The enemy's
loss was heavy, but ours was very light.

The Thirteenth Maine Reg, Col. Rust,
and the Fifteenth, Col. Dyer, passed over
the B. & NJ. R. R. en-route for their homes.
last Tuesday. The Thirteenth had l79 men
and the Fifteenth 232 men. The term OF SER
vice for which these regiments enlisted ceased
in January and February last; but the exi-
gencies of the cause requiring their presence
in the field, they periodically remained.
Until about six weeks ago both regiments
were in the Department Of the Gulf; since
then they have been with the Army of the
Potomac. Many have re-enlisted and after

that his success Is beyond doubt-thath his grand
plan has been successfully carried out SO far,
and Is certain to be successful in the end Gen.
eral Grant has never felt greater confidence OF
success than he feels now. But 1t Is stupen-
dous work he has before him, and the people
must not be unreasonablein their anticipations;
they must not expect that to be done in week,
which cannot be done In q month (; for II they
will have patience, they will In due time De iIl-
