BeroreE PyTERsecnc, September 4, 1864.— No outward signs betray the movements or intentions of our foe. Some of Early’s men are reported to have arrived, and the re- mainder, it is stated, will soon follow Lee. Tbis continued silence is unusual, and has a World of meaning. Opposite our extreme left a large fort suddenly looms up before our line, and points a battery ef y-two pounders towards us. Other eee show signs of the enemy’s activity and industry, telling us in almost express words, that Atlanta be abandoned by Hood and taken by Sherman, but Richmond, the rebel metropolis, will never be torsaken by Lee, nor captured by Grant ; at which willbe more fully known here- after. There is little doubt workmen are steadily employed in building & junction between the Weldon and Southside railroads. A place about fifteen miles from Petersburg, and five miles from Reams’ Station, is said to be the spot selected for the junction of the two roads. The performance of such a labor is quite easy, when the greater portion of a corps could detailed to build the road. This is probably one of the main reasons for the present quie- tude along our extended front. While they are attending to this matter, we are steadily y Progesing in laying the City Point railroad, which will be soon completed to the Yellow House, or Six Mile Station. This will save @ vastamount of labor. Mules and men can scarcely stand this constant teaming of fifteen or twenty miles, over indifferent roads, often made impassable by heavy rains. New men are being drilled in the manual of arms every day. The weather is favorable tor euch exercise, being cool and delightial. Aboud sixty prisoners were sent off to-day, the pro- duct of small scouting who seldom re- turn withouta priecnes or two, gathered up during their ride. Owing to the known un- healthy character of this section of country, and the great accession of new men, to whom the soldier’s life is unknown, eyery sani precaution is taken to prevent the baneful effects of malaria. (uinine is used im liberal quantities, and with apparent success. The sick and wounded are shipped off regularly, so that the few patients remaining is the different hospitals receive excellent attention. From Chili.
