SUCCESS OF STONEMAN’S RAID, Defeat of Wheeler. LovisviLyg, Aug. of to-day says: Apparently well-authentica- ted but official information been received that General Stoneman not only cutthe Macon railroad, but defeated the Rebel Wheeler at Proctor Creek; that the latter lost from 500 to 1,000 men in the fight, and his dead and wound- ed fell into our hands. NASHVILLE, Aug. 3—General Stoneman’s raid along the Macon railroad met witha great success in cutting the Rebel line of communi- cation, and thus completely isolating Atlanta. But I regret the necessity toadd that one diyvis- ion of cavalry, while returning met with a se- rious disaster. = The Macon railroad was torn up for eighteen miles, the rails twisted, the ties, tanks, bridges and depots barned, and the road rendered use- less for months to come. Returning by way of Newman, capturing a large wagon train, filled with much valuable private property belonging to rebel officers, and among other property were (General Woods’ papers and a quantity of whiskey, all of which fell into the hands of the general and his forces. About this time the rebels, under Gen. Ran- som, attacked Gen. McCook. and a fight en- sued, in which McCook’s tommand were routed, and the greater part of them captured. About five hundred of the troops have reported at Marietta, and give fearful stories of losses. The command, at starting, numbered about three thousand two hundred. Gen. McUook is reported killed. ASHVILLE, August 4.—Gen. Stoneman sent a force of cavalry, composed of 's and Lagrange’s brizades, 3,200 strong, on the 26th ult., under command of Edward McOook, to destroy the Macon and Western Railroad. They bad destroyed 13 miles of the road and started to capture wtrain of 500 wagons 4 from Atlanta to Macon or Columbus. McUook captured this train near Newman, with 500 men, including 127 officers. The magazines were laden with valuable stores, including liquors and private papers of Gen. Hood and others. an possessing themselyes of what the: ted the wagons were burned. McCoo! then started to return with his prisoners and three thousand mules, but was overtaken by a rebel force, under General so large as to completely surround him. <A desperate engagement followed, during which many ot McCook’s men escaped and found their way to Marietta. The number of Federals cap- tured, it is supposed, will not reach two thou- sand. This disaster is attributable to the troops par- taking too freely of liquors found im the cap- tured train.

Norristown, August4.—A singularrailroad accident, but fortunately not attended withany loss of life, occurred on the Reading road about & mile below this place this afternoon. Two coal trains were following each other, moving north. The leading train stopped sud- denly, and its rear train was immediately struck by its successor; at least a dozen empty coal cars being broken and thrown in all di- rections by the concussion. Some of these cars obstructed the adjacent track, down which the express passenger train trom Pottsville and Harrisburg came within one minute of the collision of the coal trains. The engine ot the passenger cars dashed through the obstractions with the loss only of its ornaments, but the succeeding baggage and express cars were not so fortunate, but were thrown from the track, overset, and broken into fragments, with all their contents. The neighboring telegraph poles an@ wires were all destepyet: The breaking of the coup- ling between the express and emigrant cars alone saved the entire train with three hun- dred passengers trom destruction. The ac- cident was one against which no foresight could have provided, and the manner in which it occurred was eatraordinary. The passen- gers from the express train reached the city by way of the Philadelphia, Germantown, and Norristown railroad. Arrest of Counterfeite: Great Haul of Plates, Notes, &c.
