They say that the CD;ujy. under Hunter, who, together Y.iii his ewn, has all of Sei gel's old com man.d.'is closely watching the movements of Early, the exact whereabouts of whose main force they were at last accounts un able to determine. The affair t Snick er's ferry convinced them that a pret'y strong force was certainly at that point, but the result did not leave thsin su-Tiei-ent opportunity ,to ascertain the full ex tent of it. ' 4 There is nothing new by the mails fn-rn the Georgia- front. But the great victory' achieved by the gallant Hood, and chron icled in our telegraph column, will satis fy our readers that all. is right in that n.iarter fr the present. Official dispatches have been, received at Iiichmondv stating that the enemy are cttttain'y evacuating the trans-Missifs'P pi, we supposcL v;iLli the view of reinforc ing Sherman. ' Tbe Express of Saturday says that on Thursday night, the profound qu.et which had prevailed fer many hours preceding, was suddcaly broken by the discharge f sundry piece? of very heavy artillery. These explosions were at times terrific to delicate ears, and fairly shook the bricks and mortar of our ancient city. Some' of the shells from the enemy's batteries3 fell into the city but did no damage. We hear too, that' many shell and solid shot from our guns, fell among the Yankees, and no doubt produced the usual commo tion in the ranks of. the invaders.. Tho thunders cf th big pieces aroused the small Iry from their slumbers, and during the entire 7ii;ht we had "po, pop, pep,' of musketry, with which Petersburg peo ple have long since become familiar. . Friday, the Express learns, that with the exception of the usual picket and mortar tiring there was nothing worthy of note occuring. Both -sides seem to be busily engaged in strengthening their works, calling to their aid every appli ance, which can possibly renior an as- I Sauii. unsuccessful. From present, ap- paarances, if the two armies remain rauch longer around Petersburg, we shall have evidences of military engineering and skill such H3 the world has never known.. So bastopol and ethsr strongly fortified places,- of which history ruskes mention, will h absolutely weak, compared with Pe tersburg. These operation reduco the matter to one of euduranee entirely, and the winning party will be that on which canholdonthe longest, and endure the most. Already, we hear, c-ach particular ,-id. "thinks- it imossibl ththM -tr4rjEa can be - carried by ston, nndif both conic to the conclusion-that they will not be the i airtrresscr, we presume mere is wuie pros- oect of a fjsht. Boiii too, adhermjr to this determination, the public may at j once dismiss all ieles. of the war being I brought to a close, and regulate their af fairs accordingly. Frcm parties entirely reliable, the Ex press hitfrna that Grant is massing, his forcss on the two rivers the James and the Appeal attox. This was done doubt less because of the scarcity of water in the interior, and for the purpose of removing them to Jjiij' particular Ucalitj' on the north side of the James, and. the Chester Mela side of the Appomattox, where they maybe r.eellod. The Sentinel learns fre-m a gentleman who arrived in Richmond on Friday, from the Valley, that our-army, when retiring from Maryland, passed through Loosburg and over the mountains at Snicker's Gap. As the rear of our wagon train was cros sing the ap the enemy's cavalry succeed ed in capturing thirty wagons ; but our men turned upon them, re-captured twen ty seven of the wagons, and in audition took two pieces of artillery. The fiht referred to in the dispatch to the War Department took place on the West side of the Shenandoah river. Our troops had crossed and the enemy fallow ed in force, -when we attacked and routed them, killing and wounding over one thou sand, and driving them to thaEast side of the river, waile our liss way not more than two hundred and fifty. Our forces occupying the Valley, and hslu the roa leading to Winchester, as well as that place, the stagps running rcg u:arly from there to Staunton. The enemy have again evacuated Mal ta nsfeurg. -Capt. ItoBiNSCiT. Our old frientT nnd cemrrant-.m-in-arms, Capt. Peejamtn Kob-. ins'en, arrived in towa this morniag, we learn, looking quite vreU for a wounded man. Capt. 11. was wounded -at Spott sylvania in the leg and rendered unfit for service. The. country -wilt lose a gallant and brave defender by this unhappy event.- Long may ho liva to efijoy that independence for which hs has' sp bravely , Capt. Pearce. We ara scrry to learn from the Examiner that our friend and former associate in conducting the Caro linian, Capt. Pearce, of the 26th Georgia was severely, though not tlaugtrously wounded in .tho "battle at Monocaey, Md. Capt. P., is as bi-.tve and noble a spirit as we have in oiax gallant army.

For the p dispelling this 'delusive dream den and fi fend?, and there is no real affinity bet we made candidate for Gov. of this State and Gv Brown, we extract the following from an interesting letter of Pcrsonne.jn tha Columbia South Carolinian , which ives the real position of Gov. Brown, as ;ie eolaineu iu m a 'lata interview w an that distinguished geotlernun ahd -popular chief ilngistrato, and which vill be seen to be Uie identical position oceurted by Gsv. Vanes in this campaign. "Person- Remarking to him, in lh ccur ofcu - interview-, that his policy wms ru?t gencr s.lly undcrstcod be"fcnd the limits Sf hie own State, and was accordingly regarded as inimical to the best interests of the Confederacy, hi repliedTand njt..vitUoat some force, that the platform on w hi ciphe rs too J now, was the same as that ei-cup.d 1 Congress had he (tko Govcri.or) stepped forward to cnt;r nis pro;est against the act. In so domg.'he hiid merely made an issue on principle, that it might not beje torted upon him ia the future tkat he had silently acquiesced in measures dourly inconsistent with the spirit of the Consti tution. Tha encroachments of centralized power had been. the curse of the eonti nent, and it behooved very statesman in the South to sea to it that, while yioldiug to our own General Government all prop er support, every attempt by it to inter fete with tho action of the State authori ties, should be promptly met and check ed. To use thu GoverEor's own iilustru tien we were ail sailing in the same boat, and the pilot at the helm might be steer ing upon a reef, the crew while discever ing the danger should only protest, not mutiny. Thus he would bo the hist nun in the Confederacy to throw obstacles in instance callin; on his militia without a hint to that end froa th Executive. Peace he did not want, and would not have, except on terms consistent with the honor of the South; and hence he was ut terly aud every way opposed to the efforts on the part ot a-faction- iu North Carolina to get up a Stale Convention, looking to the accomplishment of that object Vy any ether . means than those now employed. He lnd iidvised ajainst it and should con tinue; f doso. Ihe idea of a further se cession on the part of any Southern State was preposterous, and those- who imagin ed thai the attitude of Georgia to-day, o,r of any of -her officials, lent color ar proba bility to such an event, were cemiaittinr one of tfe'e ;' i'?st of vtois. . . We copy the following from the Con servative, ana commend it for its spright ly wit and for its patriotic sentiment : , See two fearful Heroes meet, Each with scarlet strand nrray'd, Emblems of that patriot band. This their, motto, Who's, afraid.' These are gloomy times,' says one, ' Vith two lingers in his mouth, Very glfcomy times inelesd, Fsr tho true men of the South. 4 Yes,' says t'other II. O.

We for ' our deliverance cord (And the Yankees) daily pray. Yres, times will he cVttar soon, But tlie cord of Southern hopt Is not Kahab's scarlet strand, Put a stout well-twisted rope.
