A correspondent of The Montgomery
Mail with Hoods army SAYS:
The occupation of Rome was effected
without fl ght, and the dash into Marietta

When Sherman learned that Hood had
moved northward. he crossed the river
with two corps and formed a line OF OBJ

line crossed the railroad at Big Shanty on
the 4th. The two armies held this posi-

Our army then set to work destroying

WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington, Oct. IL.
To Major General Dix:
Advices from General Sherman to the
evening Of October 10th, indicate that
Hood. after having struck the Railroad IN
the neighborhood of Dalton on Resaca,
has fallen back before Sherman without
fighting, abandoning his great movement
upon our line of communication.
He has torn some ID miles of the road
from Resaca north, but the injury will be
repaired without difficulty.
The interruption will cause no incpnyen-
fence to Sherman's army, as his stores of
supplies south of the track, as well as
north of it, are ample.
Hood has retreated towards the South
west. His rear left Dalton IN haste at six
o'clock Sunday morning.
Gen. Sheridan reports that the rebel ar

" under Longstreet, having appeared in
the vicinity of Strasburg, his forces NOV
ed to attack them on Saturday.
Crook, who had the advance, found the
rebels drawn up in four lines of battle.
but upon charging them with his usual
impetuosity, they broke and withdrew in
considerable disorder. without giving the
opportunity for any serious conflict.
Sheridan reports them as continuing
their retreat in haste far up the valley.
Col. GainsEoort, commanding the 18Th

camp of Moseby's guerillas in the Blue

deal of fight in the South.
At recent meeting of the Information

applauding his perseverance against slave
~ and Shareholders, and encouraging him
to persevcre in the ''holy causc of Iiber-
ty.' which they feel sure must triumph.

Cobu-n can claim the stakes, and ali bets
are off" 1t recommends Coburn to ae-
cept Mace's challenge to fight in England
and proposes that they either toss for re
fierce, or that four gentlemen of the press
select one from them. 1t says it was
clearly Columns fault that no referee was

Another official despatch dated at Chat

General and army are all right and in the
