Sherman'S Army.
NASHVILLE, Thursday, Oct. 6.
On the 4th inst. large force appeared
on the Chattanooga Railroad, near Ack-
worth Station, DESTROYED several pieces of
the track, and burned Big Shanty.
Two bridges across the Chattahoochie,
at Centersville and Resaca, have been
damaged by the heavy rains.
A rebel force near Dalton, on the 3rd,
and moving in an easterly direction, had
$50 wagons
A severe fight occurred at Alatoona
yesterday, between the garrison and a
force of rebel infantry. The Federal
loss was considerable. Gen. Corse and
Col. Tourlette were wounded. The rebel
loss is stated by the prisoners captured
to have been heavy. 1t was expected
that the battle would be resumed to-
day.
A division of the Rebel force was seen
moving up the Eto&ah River, probably
with the intention of crossing to this
side.
The Tennessee River is seven feet deep
on the shoals, and is still rising.
At six o'clock yesterday morning, the
enemy attacked Alatoona with artillery
and infantry. The position was occupied
by a portion Of General Smiths corps.
The fight continued at intervals during
the latter part of the day, and every
move Of the enemy was handsomely re-
pulsed with severe loss to the rebels. In
the evening they hastily retreated towards
Dalton and Dallas, leaving their dead
and 400 to 600 wounded in our possess
sion. Our loss was about 800 killed,
wounded and missing. Gen. Corse is re-
ported wounded.
Firing has been heavy in the direction
of Kenesaw during the day.
This is the first fair day, after rain of
ten days duration. AL the streams are
overfowing, and have washed away the
bridge On Ringold, Resacca, and Chatta-
hoochie. The two first named will be
rebuilt to-day.

Heron, of the Second Tennessee, having
secreted themselves near the coal bank
at Kelly's Ferry, when the steamer Res
deca landed for coal, fired on her and set
her on fire. The crew scuttled her, and
saved the hull and machinery with which
she was loaded.
WASHINGTON, Oct ), 1864.

for the rumors Of disaster put in circula-
ton since the recent rain storm has tenn

of James river, up to this morning, the

tions acquired in the advance q few days

General Lee has acknowledged that hi

Destruction of the blockade
Runners Lynx q Night Hawk
WASHINGTON. Oct. ), 1854.
Rear Admiral Lee encloses sundry
North Carolina papers to the Navy De.
partment to show that the stringency o.
the blockade is felt and acknowledged by
the rebels. The Fayetteville Caroliniar
says -" The loss of the A. d. Vance is
a pretty severe blow to our State. She
has done noble service to our North Car
olina soldiers, and has paid for herself
twenty times"
The Lynx is the name of the steamer
blockade runner chased on shore on the
North Carolina coast by our vessels on
the 25th ult., and which was destroyed
by FIRE. She was owned by John Fraser
and Co., of Wilmington, and command.
ed by Captain Reid. She was bound to
Bermuda, with cargo consisting of six
hundred bales f cotton, and fifty thous-
and dollars in gold, on freight or on gov
eminent account. 1t further remarks
that "the Tallahassee expedition will
not pay large dividend, and it is much
doubted whether her exploits have weak
ened the Yankee government to any ap-
preciable extent. It is pretty certain she
has turned an unpleasant amount of at
tention on Wilmington, and may be the
cause of bringing down on us the main
force of the Yankee navy. The blockade
here will be double strict that is certain. y
Information is received of the destruc-
ton of the blockade runner Night Hawk,
ON the night of the goth of September,
off Chew Inlet South Carolina, by the
Nipbon. She was run ashore on the
Federal Shoals The rebel captain, Off
GERS, and part of the crew-in oil twenty
three-were brca hit off, the remainder
having escaped To shore. The Night

and Austria upeu the other. Its exact

known that Schleswig- Holstein and Lau-

that country to mere speck on the map;
but it is ceftainly as well as she could ex7
pect, taking in view the great military
power employed against her, and the in
disposition of her natural allies to take
u art in the war 1t is not stated what
viii be the disposition of the reclaimed
territory whether it will be formed into a
new German power and handed over to the
Duke Of Augusteuberg divided between
Prussia and Austria, or placed at the dis

PARTICDLAk NOTICE.

There are many preparations sold under
the name of Bitters, pus up in quart bottles,
compounded of the cheapest whisky com
mon rum, costing from 20 to 40 cents per gal
len, the taste disguised by Anise or Corian-
der seed.
This class of Bitters has caused and will
continue to cause, as long as they can be Sold
hundreds to die the death of the drunkard.
By their use the system is kept continually
under the influence of Alcoholic stimulrnts
of the worst kind the desire for liquor is Gre
ated and kept up, and the result is all the
horrcrs attendant upon drunkard's life and
death.
For those who desire and WILL HAVE a

cepit: Get one bottle of Hollands German
Bitters and mix with three quarts of good
Brandy or Whisky; and the result will be

tue of Hoofand's Bitters in connection with
