Watkine, provost marshal at this post, reports the average number of deserters from Long- street’s army, who report to him, as five per day. All complain of being heartily sick of the war. Their accounts are corroborated. by offi- cere, who generally considered themselves whipped, but thought the northern finances were giving out.

The reason why Longstreet did not attack our force was believed to be want of confidence in his men. IMPORTANT REPORT. The Alaba 's Career Probably Ended.
