FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, —~——— Early’s Force Reported to have Rejeined Lee—Indication ef Another Atte: te Regain the Welden Railread—Redel Pickets Report Atlanta Retaken by Heed —Hew the Stery Originated—Rebel Ar- tillery Fire Gpom Colored Troops. Sa SR {Correspondence of the Associated Press.) HuyapquarTErs ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, Sept.6.—To-day quiet has reigned along the line, exceptiag an occasional gun from the center of our line. Rain has been falling all day, and still con- tinues, with a cold wind blowing. Rumors nave been prevalent for two days past thata part of Early’s troops had arrived im our front, and were massing on our left flank, necessitating another struggle for the possession of the Weldon road, and prepara- tions were made to receive them; but thus far, With the exception of a few guerrillas, no en- e@my has appeared in that direction. Last evening the enemy in front of our line where it crosses the Jerusalem road were very jubilant for a time, indulging in loud cheering, which extended along the line to the right, toward the Appomattox. Our pickets hailed theirs, and asked the cause of the commotion, Sad the answer came, “Atlanta has been re- taken by Hood.” Notwithstanding the improb- ability of the atory, it Yrapidly gained circula- don, and caused some depression for a time. Bat sogn after a deserter came in and re- ported that one of their men had tied a canteen 1o a dog's tail and started him through their lines, thinking thus to frightenourmen. But the dog kept bis own side, and his frightened eries,as he sped along, caused the rebels to cheer and hallo so loud. Thus the matter ‘was explained. Yesterday a y of colored recruits arrived here, and on the way to their Tegiments got rather nearer to the front than they calculated. in passing along an open space near Fort War- rem the enemy obtained a view of them, and threw a shell or two in their midst. Sach a seattering was really ludicrous. Abandoning their guns, kpapsacks, etc., they flew toward the fort, in front of which is a ditch six or sev- en feet wide, andas many » With several inebes of water and mud. Into this they piled one on top of another, evidently think- ing they would be safe there, while the men in the fort rushed out and reaped quite a harvest of knapsacks, &c.,which lay on theroad. The officer in charge of the seems to have Giret reached the trench, and endeavored to prevent the men from following him, ordering them to rally. When asked what he was do- ing there, he said he had not been under fire for several months and was rather nervous at his clore proximity to the enemy. Considerable effort was required to extricate them from their somewhat unpleasant po- sition, atter which they left to joi their com- mands. It is hoped that if they are ever marged by the enemy they will profit by the lessom they received yesterday, and not ran iato a trap, in which the rebels would like to catoh them, and where a dozen could keep a tmousand without the slightest fear of one es- ceping.

To Major General Diz, New York : The department is still without any dispatches south of Nashville. It is supposed to be Gen. Sherman’s design te withdraw his advance columns, give his army rest in Atlanta, and establish himself securely there, and restore his railroad com- munication, broken by Wheeler and Forrest, before making farther advances. No operations by the armies of General Grant or General Sheridan are reported to- day. The Provost Marshal General’s office is busi- ly engaged in arranging the credits of the sey- eral districts, and is ordered to draft without delay for the deficiencies in the districts that have mot filled their quotas, beginning with those mostin arrears. Credits for volunteers ‘will be allowed as long as possible, but the advantages of filling the armies immediately Fequire the draft to be speedily made in the defaulting districts. All applications for its postponement have therefore been retused. Eowin M. Srawron, Secretary of War. Pcscior nated eT!

The latest is to the effect that Gen. Rousseau continue to pursue Wheeler, who is evidently trying to reach tha Tennes- see, and cross at the nearest practicable nt. Almost constant skirmis! occurs between the rebel rear andour front. The dam&gsdone by the raiders to the railroadis not though two or three days will be req *o re] it. Fhe rebel Gen. Kelley, commanding & divi- sion of Wheeler’s cavairy, was mortally wounded day before yesterday, and is now & prisoner. In every skirmish the rebel dead and wounded fell into our hands. Col. Brownlow was wounded in a charge on the rebels; but we understand his injuries are not serious. Our whole loss, thus far, does not exceed 50; and we have tsken over 150 prisoners, and Killed from 20 to 30 more of the enemy. ‘The latest heard from the rebels, they were twenty miles southwest of Franklin, and re- treating. TaTsa.—The latest from the front was dated at3 p.m. yesterday. Wheeler was retreating with all speed, occasionally tearing up afew rails, but always avoiding alithe block houses and all points where there was a probability of resistance. Rosseau is immediately on his heels, and the other divisions, of which we spoke yesterday, solr hd moving up, are all on him, or near at - The injury to the railroad between here and Decatur is slight indeed; and Wheeler will hardly have time to do any more devil- ment. We hope soon to record the capture of the greater portion of Wheeler’s command. Cer- tain it 18, if the Tennescee river keeps up, his escape will be nearly impossible. Our loss is lighter than at firat reported, and ‘will not exceed 30 men all told. Latzst.—Oapt. Vooris, of Gen. Rossean’s staff, arrived here yesterday, and furnishes us ‘th owing particulars of the fighting yes- and day before: On Thursday evening, Capt. Elkin, of Ros- seau’s staff, at the head of 75 men, made a charge upon 8 rebel force of 180, near Antioch, and drove them pel! mell, kiJling eightand wound- ing 8 number. On Friday night, Capt. Vooris, who left the city the night before with 350 men, came up with the enemy near Franklin, but found Gen. Rosseau near, engaging them. Heavy fighting day. The rebels outnumbered Hossean, and at one time flanked him on both wings, but they were gallantly repulsed, and finally driven trom their 01 position, and compelled te re- treat, We regret that we cannot designate the om- cers and troops who took the most conspicuous part in the gallant charge. ‘The fight lasted nearly all day. One section of Marshall's ist Ohio bat! was warmly engaged several times, and did excellent exe. cution. The loss of the rebels was about fifty killed, (left on the field,) and as large number o! ‘wounded—perhaps two hurdred. The defeat of Wheeler was complete. He did not succeed in entering Franklin, as he was cut off by Gen- eral Rousseau’s forces. Colonel Brownlow’s wound is very severe, but not mortal. The ball passed through both thighs, but did not strike avy of the bones. The rebels are trying to make their escape— flying at the top of their speed. With reference to certain movements on the programme, we must continue silent; but we have no doubt they will result in a brilliant success.—Nash- ville Union, Sept. 4.

WANT TO ENLIST IN THE ARMY OR NAVY, Six prisoners of war, who have been con- fined at Point Lookout for some time past, having asked permission to enlist in the army or navy of the United States, they were drop- a from the prisoner’s rolls and forwarded to this city, where ey arrived yesterday on board of & steamer. a recent order of the War Department prohibits rebel deserters from being received in the army or navy, 4 ieee tion arises whether this order includes prison- ers who were captured with arms in their bands Some officers hold that it does not, while others are of the opinion that prisoners of war, who take the oath, are virtually de- serters from the rebel ranks. The six men al- luded to above have, we understand, been committed to the Old Capitol to await the or- ders of the Secretary of War. HOW THE SOLDIERS VOTE.

Lambert was found secreted tn abarn on the farm of Mr. John O, Rives, a mile this sideof Bladéneburg Officer Simonds found Lambert in the hay loft, and as he ap- proached Lambert rose up, and remarking “I am ready,” drew a large knife, and used it in such a menacing manner that officer Simonds fired his pistol, the ball effect in the right arm of Lambert, just aboye the elbow, and lodging there. Lambert then deliberately stabbed himself with his knife six times in the lett breast, but the wounds were not sufficient- ly deep to prove fatal. The prisoner was then secured.and Dr. Chas. O. Lewis, of Bladensburg, was sent for and dressed the wounds, ladies in the neighborhood at the same time doitig what they could to al- leviate the sufferings of the prisoner. When asked why he had attempted to take his life, Lambert said that he stabbed Mallery but had done it in self defence.
