March ing Over 120 miles through a -country un 'known to them, skirmishing and fighting’ almost daily, butting up against works capa ble of resisting a force double the number 5 under Johnston, only to gain-some slight ad vantage, or meet with a temporary check, contesting every foot' of ground from Ring gold to -the Chattahoochee, without having once bad its linos broken, or a regiment stampeded. It challenges the world 'to •how a better srecord. The secret of its great success lies in the-superior material of which'Hiscomposed, and the foresightof the men who-command.

A correspondent says: 1' visited and in spected a portion of the works built by the rebels in the rear of Kenesitw. They were located about five miles, a little west of south, from the mountain, and, in front of the left of the 23d Corps; and l have not seen anywhere fortifications built with more solidity, regularly and fimjsh in any portion of our system irf defeuses.Sn this campaign. Crowning the iraninuts of two elevations in a cleared field, surrounded bjr _ woods sad com manding a mstiin road leading to Marietta, were two regular earth forts pierced for eight guns eacM. , These forts stood a few rods in advance of a ,-lioavy line of breast works crossing the road. and wh;ch were pierced within a spacf pf AOOyards, for nine teen guns. Thus, within the space of -100 vards, th® rebels could hawa brought to bear , upon an upproaching fore® thirty-five guns. JTo better evidence could the asked of the indomitable industry and absolution with whioh the rebels contest our advance into j this country, and of the obsttystes the army ! has to encounter in making the advance. Sherman CrogMS the Chattflfhipochee. ■ A dispatch from Chattanooga dated July 11th, says:—Unofficial advices have reached ;■ this city that a large proportion of Sher man’s forces have successfully crossed ti?e < Chattahoochee, and that at least 2,000 or i Hardee’s corps have been gobbled by the Groat Flanker. Indeed, rumor sets the lig’ii"- : -.t not It—s loan 5,00.0, but os we acvrv -r ;l it, r-cn-'cti-.-ns. we place them at t ,!)'' 1 ). The rebels burned the railroad bridge, and also the common road bridge across the Chattahoochee river, yesterday morning. G’.-i,. Sherman Ims crossed the river above and below the bridges, and elected a secure lodgment on the south bank. The rebels have abandoned tbeir strong fortifications on Che.Uahoochea-Higbts, commanding the bridge, being again effectually flanked. It is uncertain rn what direction they have gone. Our communications are in a favor abla condition. No rebel cavalry are near the-road in force. A , r: • !v -’"to ’to' -v’.V * Our Army in Front of Atlanta. We have further particulars relating to the crossing of the Chattahoochee, which are highly interesting. The rebels, on Sun day (10th inst.), finding Sherman had effect ed a lodgment south *ef the river, burned the railroad and turnpike bridges, together with three pontoons. Their works were the strongest tound on the whole line, from Dalton, and were protected by abatis, so that a direct assault would have been an impossiblity. The stream is at present shallow, and the bottom rocky, but no men could have forded it and charged up the embankments to their works. The en trenchments extended along the river banks for five miles, and were located in a posi tion to sweep the surrounding -country. Johnston had evidently been months in preparing them. After the'fiank movement commenced, the rebel General offered no resistance, but fell back. We -pursued to the fortifications around Atlanta, which were but eight miles distant. We know *of no other point at which a stand can be made. The above dispatoh about-Sherman tells a decisive story. Atlanta- is at this moment either a closely besieged or-a surrendered city. The long march, the‘hard fights, the indomitable patience, the abundant resource, and the inexhaustible strategy of Sherman, are illustrated and 'rewarded by his posses sion of the Chattahoochee line. The rebel works, says a ’dispatch were the strongest yet found, perfectly protected against as sault, the stream Impassable, the intrench ments extending for five miles. Nothing in the defenses proper Of Atlanta can offer such hope of ’obstinate - resistance as the position which Johnstion has now abandon ed. There maybe some sort of siege or an assault, but we doubt not Gen. Sherman considers his work as good as done. The Rebels con Sherman's Movements. The Atlanta (Ga.) Appeal, of the 4th of July, says:—A more probable solution of Gen. Sherman’B policy-is, that he will make a detour southward from-Marietta, with the view of crossing the river, and reaching the railroad somewhere between this and West Point. Such a movement on his part would compel Gen.-Johnston to-move to the left, and thus leave. Atlanta- uncovered. But if such really be the designs of the wily Yankee commander, - we have an abiding faith that he will be foiled-in his purposes, and brought to grief, in advance of its ac complishment. We are not without the hope, moreover, that re-enforcements will yet come to the aid of our army in sufficient strength to enable it to drive back the in vader of our soil. The trans-Mississippi Army is nowlylng -«n<-, wi.th_ no enemy to annoy it, and there is- no- reasdn wEy it" might not be transferred to this side of the - “j=jnj\whflra-i±s. services are- so much, needed. Wmtertne cuamy are concentrating all their forces, it b'enouTtta.^w, otherwise there is no alternative left but to continue to surrender the- country to the domination of the invading foe. THE REBEL: DPVABION. A 3 we write, the third annual invasion of the States north, of rebeldom.by Lee’s min ions, together with the excitement caused thereby, is dying out. ' We have no dispo sition to join the daily papers in the dis cussion of how many rebels crossed the Po tomac. The only-question-of vital interest in regard to tbe matter now is the result of the pursuit of the invaders. .The latest news is that therrebels have crossed the Po tomac on their way to Lee’s main army. The loyal public are-anxious to know whether they will be permitted to reach their desti nation, after their-stealing visit- to Mary land. We are of opinion-that so far as the great object of the raid is. -concerned, it has been a miserable failure on the part of thoxebels. The opinion is very .general, and we think it correct-, that the whole business was in tended to divert-Grant from his purpese in front of Petersburg. -On this supposition only can we account for the near approach of -the raiders to Washington.; for we presume there are few persons-who-have vistedihe Capital, and know any thing of the defences, aroud it, that ever -believed for a moment 1 in the ability of two, or even three corps of the best troops in the -Confederacy to cap ture it. But the rebels, knowing how sensH tive we are about the-capture of Washington, andfinding that their demonstrations around; Baltimore, had no effset upon Grant,thought, no doubt, that a seemingly bold movement on -Washington, would bring up the larger portion of the Grand Army of-the Potomac, and give Lee a chance to -fall -upon what would have remained of the Yankee inva ders. Those of our readers .who have watchedthe progress of thiswar,will remem ber a similar movement ea a similar occa sion and to accomplish a like-object. When Grant had set himself down in front of ■Vicksburg, every possible piece- of strategy .was used by the rebels to divert him trom the object of his visit. He was threatened with a large rebel force in his rear, who, it was said were bent on euttidg off his com munication. Eaids were made on Memphis and other parts of the surrounding country held by the Unioo forces, but it was all to no purpese. The rebels counted upon the wrong man, and the-y soon discovered that it was neither Buell aor McClellan they had to deal with. When they had done every thing in their power ta move him, and ex hausted all their feint* and tricks, they were compelled to comeback to the starting point and sunv* der Vicksburg. They have failed as signally now, as then, and if Hunter and those who are cooperating with him are up to the occasion, these sham besiegers of the Capital <of the Union wifi never return to tell their chieflan how they failed. The following i.'ccount of the opeyatfojjs , PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1864. of the rebels around Washington is taken from the Washington »s'far, of the 13th: When within a mile of Fort Stevens, we could begin to hear the picket firing, with its peculiar sound, like "chip, chip," as though some woodman was cutting down a tree. We soon reached a line of sentries placed across the road to stop civilians. We got by without much trouble, and soon reached the top of the hill at the south of the fort, and 'about three hundred yards down into the valley, we could see the op posing skirmishers banging away at each other, at times very vigorously, then again lulling with only an occasional shot. Here we could see the ruins of the houses de stroyed yesterday, so that the rebels could not use them for cover. The chimneys were all standing, reminding us much of the burnt chimneys near Richmond, where the sanguinary fights took place between McClellan and Lee, just before the seven days’ fight. ’ On Monday the rebels got within a hun dred yards of Fort Stevens. It was only a thin line, the mea being so far apart that the heavy guns of the fort could not be used against them. But the infantry in the fort drove them back, the dwellings that were afterwards destroyed giving them shel ter on Monday, while our army was forming its picket line. Last night about ten o’clock, while the Federals were forming their picket line out on the Seventh street road, near the Widow Corberry's, the rebels assaulted them with some impetuosity, and drove them back ; but the line was formed'after a slight brush. After this quiet was preserved. About midnight on Tuesday skirmishing was again commenced. ■ The Confederates appeared in -good force on the left between*. Fort Stevens and Fort Deßpssey, in Widow Corberry’s woods. The gunners in the fort (Thirteenth Michigan Artillery) threw a few shells in this direction, which had the effect of driving them out, when they (the rebels) worked round to the right; endeavoring to get in between Fort Stevenß and Fort Slocum. Here the First Brigade, Second Division of the Sixth Corps (General Wheaton), were posted in skirmishing line. At first the Federals got the worst of it, but finally the rebels were driven back, out of a field of low undergrowth and bushes, from which they terribly annoyed our troops. Two pri4r; oners were captured, belonging to the; Twenty-first and Twelfth Georgia regiments.. They were dressed in grey and pants and presented a terribly filthy as though they had marched many jfeary miles. Two other prisoners had been brought in, one belonging to the Twen ty-first Wirginia Cavalry and the other to the Forty-sixth Batallion Virginia-Cavalry, of Gorman’s Corps. These prisoners had very little to say, but seemed to Take their capture with as much nonchalance as pos , Bible. Up to 11 o’clock the skirmishing was con tinued, the rebels endeavoring to roach a field of low'bushes on the rigbt-of the Sev enth street road. At one time they broke cover, and the Federal troops could be seen rushiogacross the road as though in pur suit. iSoon a vigorous banging took place. Several Federals were seen to fall on the right-of the road. Among them was Colo nel Ballier, of the Ninety-eighth Pennsylva nia, who was shot through the right thigh. The wound is very painful but not danger ous. All this skirmishing took place within three hundred yards -of Port Stevens, the rebels occupying the house of Widow Cor berry. ’Several shells were thrown at it, with what effect- we could not tell, though smoke was seen to come from it for a time. _A-JUu,ge..immb.er. of.spectators assembled on the top of the hill beßide the fort, where breastwork of rails ran across the road. - rfie rebels occasionally would elevate-their rifles' and send a ball arnona them- Several stampedes were tnus occasioned. .One of these balls struok a negro in the jaw- some fifty yards to the rear of the fort. The Par rott guns of Forts Stevens and Slocum and a field battery on the left threw shell when ever an opportunity offered. Off in the distance, out the Seventh street -road at least three miles, a heavy black smoke was observed as though a dwelling was on fire. It was too -much Btnoke for a camp -fire. The rebels, no doubt, desired to throw up rifle-pits about three hundred yards from the fort; but those in the front threw too many large shell among them for oomfort whenever their detail attempted to work. A large number of’Contrabands were set to work this morning -throwing up fresh rifle pits between the forts; this was severe on the men during the scorching heat. Retreat of the Raiders. Further pursuit of the rebel raiders has been abandoned, and they will probably succeed in reaching Lynchburg with their plunder in safety, unless they are inters cep ted between Staunton and Lynchburg. Scouts report to headquarters that the rebel rear-guard passed through Ashby's Gap early on Friday, the 15th, and were making all possible haste up Shenandoah Valley. Persons residing near the Gap say that their train, composed of all sorts of vehicles, and over a mile long, was filled with every -vari ety of plunder. Over 7,000 head of horses cattle and mules, and large droves of sheep and hogs were sent through the Gap by the rebels previous to their retreat, and pastured in the meadows along the river until the withdrawal of the main body commenced, which was early on Tuesday morning. Sev eral hundred wounded, in carriages and am. bulances, were brought through the Gap. Among them were one Brigadier and sever al Colonels, beside a number of officers of grades, most of them wounded ia the battle of Monocacy. Another Call for Troops Washington, July IS, 1864—8 y the Presi dent—A Proclamation. — TTAeraw.by the act approved July 4, 1864, entitled “ ah'act fur ther to regulate and provide for the enrol ling end calling out the national forces and for other purposes,” it is provided that the President of the United States may, “ at his discretion, at any time hereafter, call for any number of men, as volunteers for the respective terms of one, two or three years, for military service,” and “ that in case the quota or any part thereof of any town, township, ward of a city, precinct, or election district, or of a county not so subdi vided, shall hot be filled within the space'of fifty-days after such call, then the Presi dent shall immediately order a draft for one year, to fill sueh quota; or any part thereof, which may be unfilled.” And whereas, the new enrollment hereto fore ordered is so far completed as that the aforesaid act of Congress may now be put in Operation for recruiting and keeping up the strength of the armies in the field, for gar risons and such military operations as may be required for the purpose of suppressing the rebellion and restoring the authority of the United States Government in the insur gent States; Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, Presidentof the United States, do issue this, my call for 500,000 volunteer? for the mili tary service > provided, nevertheless, that this o.tII. shall he'reduced by all credits which may be established uqder section £ih I of the 'tffqrg.said 'act> ofit aecduat. of peaSimS-j MISCELLANEOUS who may have entered the naval service du ring the present rebellion, and by credits for men furnished to the military service in excess of all heretofore made.
