SPRECH OF GENERAL HOOD. A large crowd, with a band of music, appeared before Genoral Hood’s headquarters (the Baptist church) and caited him out, The General leoked very well. he congratulated us on the prospects before u advan re better now than during the old campaign in Georgia; said there have been great accessions to the army from the hospitals, the convalescent camps and men on fur: lough; that they would alt move off the rezt morning for the Valley of the Tennessee. Goneral Hood did not say be would cross the Tennessee, but we all understand it. He said Sherman could not hold Atlanta and Nashville too; that im she next bat‘le he expects to lead his army to victory. @EN. SHERMAN TO BE WIPED OUT—LEB’Ss BPEKCH. Gen. 8. D. Lee was called ior, He said Sherman is like the map who caught the Tartar, he sacrificed nearly ail his strength to get it, but did not know what to do with it after he got it. Said Sherman could not keep up bis communications long; that he wil! soon be forced to leave Atlanta, and, if be meets us on Tennessee soil or else. where, he will get the worst whipping that. auy Yankee general has got since the fall of Fort Sumer, and we ‘will wipe him from the listof Yankee offic CHRATHAM DON’T LIKE TO TALK ABOUT TEE YANKEES. ‘The crowd then went to General Cheatham’s quarters. meral said he appeared at their request, but not to m speech, ‘There was atime when he ‘could talk about the Yankees, but it makes bim mad to talk about them now, and the cothusinsm which he sces exhibited jostities him in saying be cared not for the odds that might come against him. be expects nothiag but victory in the next conflict. BEAUREGARD EXPECTS TO REPRAT SHILQH. We then repaired to the beadquarters of 1 Bean- regard. In bis usnal modest way he appeared and said he must be excused from making a speech. He would say, however, that he had como to the Army of the Ton- pessee to remain with thom muti their present campaign ends. That be thinks be sees faces that be has seen at Sbilob and othor battie groumis; and, as he then directed them, #0 be expects to do in the coming battle with Sher man.” He then requested the crowd to excuse him hear his friead, Major Kustis, who was a better oratcr than be war. Major Eustis, of General Beaurogard's staff, came for- ward and made a handsome speech, but addressed bim- felt exclusively to the Louisiauians, which | thought waa im bad taste, CLAYTON BAS A HORROR OF THE ABOLITIONIST. General Ciaytou was then called for, He said the ob- ject of the enenmy was not to clevate the negro, but to lower the white mi There would be no law in this country to punish the negro who killed bis master, burat up bis wife and children, or any other damage be may do the Southern man, Even further, they would put the betw-d im whe negro’s bands, and eusiave the Southern whites, THE BIG IRISH REBEL CLEBURNE WANTS RRVENGR.

General Cleburne then spoke to his men about the necersity of discipline, and closed by telling his 2 eltars, land laid men he felt more anxious to meet Sherman now than ever. He went down to Atlanta, exiled the mg je, amd bad many bouses pulled down to bo used rewood y this winter While thus sequestered in bis comfortabie ‘we were in bistfront, we faked him, i pegro garrison, tore up his rail- y miles, and got into ‘Alabama before he ‘waked np.

One of the most succossful little raids into the enemy's country that has ever been made has just beon concluded py a small party from this wurps. It is very genorally known thatthe robela havea complete system of com- munication and direct means of gaining accurate tnfor- mation of every movement mado within our lines. To such perfection has this beon brought that no movement on our part, however secret may ave been the prepa- rations, can bo inaugurated without the enemy gaining the oarliest intelligence, The most strivgent measures, which wouid, under other circumstances, seem uncalled for, have been adopted in tho Army of the James to prevent communication in any manner between the lines; but, in this part of the country, surrounded on all sides by those claiming to be neutral or Uaion, who are nothing but rank, rabid secs. siogists, thoroughly posted on the topography of the country, their information is gained mostly by scouts, who have a regular means of communicating with Richmond, relay places, horses saddied and ready to mount, with two and three days’ rations in havervack, and everything arranged to make the whole thing sure and effective, The scouts aro soldjers in tho rebel army. General Butler, through his scouts, bad learned the names and whereabouts of thirteen of these men throagh Charles City and Henrico counties, and determined to rid himself of these scoundrels and break up the gang which has so long infested these counties. Ove hundred Picked aud mounted men were placed under the com. mand Of Major Stevens, Provost Marshal of the Tenth corps, accompanied by Lieut. Henry Phillips, Assistant Provost Marshal; Lieut. Henry 0. Phillips, Chiot of the Ambulance corps; Lieutenant Davenport, of General But- ler's staff, and two other officers The party left head- quarters at noon of Inst Wednesday, and after crossing the James at Bermuda Hundred about dark, Charles City Court House, which they reached about two o'clock in the morning, making a distance of sixty miler. Wort here commonced in earnest in ferreting out rebels dvd doing as much injury to their canse as possible. In somo cases the arrest of the parties they were in search of was @ comparatively easy matter; but ia others the utmost ingenuity was mado use of to baffle and put them upon the wrong scent, Nearly all the citizéns professed Union sentiment 4 when questioned about what locked suspicious, evaded and made the most ludiorous attempts to avoid committing themselves. Dut it was of no use, fow escaping the keon questions and searching propensities of tho Major and his men, With the guid. ‘ance of our scouts—men born and brought up in this part of the country, thoroughly conversant with every road, bypath and biding place of the mon we were in search of—no diMiculty was found in coming upon them una- wares, ond in making the ebject of the raid a complete guccess, Within a radius of sixty to seventy-five miles Jo the two counties this small band pezetrated, scouring the country fm every direction, and effectually breaking up the entire gang of cutthroate and socréT emissaries of the rebel government, and striking a biow that will be felt and remembored for some time to come. Out of the thirtesn men whom It was necessary to arrest, twelve were captured and brought away, only one escaping. All of these are most important captures, ‘and will result in tbe greatest good to our cause, In Addition to these captures were ten other disloyal per- ona, who were also brought, in, Fifty head of cattle, twer'y-ive horees, twonty-0've sheep and say quantity poultry, ke , were ceptured.

They are thoroughly proparod. ‘Tho impression given to our officers i# that the rebels will bave a fine time in placing the ae groesin their army, when they have settled upon that Policy, As far as placing Virginia negroes in the rebol army is concerned, no doubt is felt now that it will prove an entiro failure.

General Han was enthustastically cheered as he rode along the line. After the review the principal officers present adjourned to Gevoral Mites’ quarters, whore they partook of @ collation and spent an hour in social intercourse. Thoro was quite @ lively time between the pickets om tho lott of the Iiue om #riday night, resulting in the lows of a fow men on each side. Yesterday s good deal of artillery firing took place near the Jorusalem plank road, but without loss to us. 4 Last night the pickets in the same vicinity opened are shortly after dark, and kept it up sharply all night. ‘At about eleven P. M. the rebels attempted advance their picket line bere to recover some ground which our men took last week, but, our soldiers being wide awake, made stern objection, and for an hoer or two the exch inge of compliments in thesbapojor lead was quite heavy, This is the old contested ground near what was called Fort Mell, whero friog has becn almout incessant and extremely hot for three mouths, for whic reason the place was thus desiguated. A citizen of Richmond arrived within our lines yester- day morning, baving left thet city four days ago. He was in the liquor business; but, feariog that the autbort- tiea would soon seize and put bim tn the army, he com- cluded to take an unceremonious departure.
