There were manufactured there not only tent-eloth, but caaiifllerea. limey-wooIiey, yarn, *c,» la great quantities. The establishtnent waa chartered tn 1839, with a capital atook of $30,000. They were, of course, entirely under the control of the reoel autborlties, though nominally run by private individuals, at a fixed rale. Their entire destruction by our authorities waa, doubtleaa, determined by valid considerations of policy, but what these were, la not ao obvious.afOYXjKures.1 have recorded the droning of the river at Roswell by QiiaxsD’a cavalry, and tba occupation of the terry by Nawros** division,tna Sixth Corps, until the Sixteenth Corps could arrive. As aooo as the latter came Bp, the division returned to this point, crossed the river, and proceeded with the re-maiodtr of the corps to take up a position in front of the Twenty-third,CABiLissirisa.The correspondent, in searching the records of hospitals, ha* frequent oooasion to noie a case of accidental discharge of firearms, producing often the most serious results. One of tbese affairs occurred (he other day, timer pLavrsutxa, of Company A. Eighth Tennessee Regiment, was shot through tm shoulder, and so seriously wounded that three Inches of the bone ware removed by the surgeon In dressing the wound, and all from the carelessness oT another mem* ber -of the regiment. The fellow had 'ooeaiton to fumble ns gun while loaded, bad removed the c»o (strangely enough,} though leaving some percussion powder upon the tube, and bad Inserted the rammer in the piece, when by some 111-chance the gun was discharged, the rammer crushing through the half of his thumb, so violently did It spring; and the load and rammer passed entirely through the shoulder and eotared several inches Into a tree. The wonder ta that the arm was not blown entirely away, to tremendous waa the energy with which the musket wat discharged.BUUORS.These are not lacking, as usual, and are of a character to astonish even those who are ’•repaiea lo receive the bo11 news from this army. Among them Is one that the main force of the rebel armr baa fallen tark to “ a strong position n nine miles sonth of Atlanta; and that there is only the merest shell of pickets between here and Atlanta YPt remaining, which the simple advance of our lines will crush in upon the city. lilt certain that there Is no BKirmlsmne between the pickets, unless at such e distance that tt to lnaadtbie, while yesterday their cavalry waa before tit, though In their lines. Itjwas expected that our crossing at this point and above would call their attention hither, and that they would disoute our advance into the country with as much strength at they could summon. But they seem discouraged by the immense length of tbe front we are enabled to present, end to be prepared lo abandon Atlanta to a flank mo re moot with slight opposition.• We shall see whst we shall tee.
