The Southern papers persist in representing the ovement of Geners! Sherman asa retrest—ren- dered necessary by (ieneral Bearnraann'’s eo called masterly demonstrations on hia rear. They do not, however, affect to conceal thelr apprehen- gions at the probablo results in case he should sue- ceed in gaining » bare on the Atlantic coast. To prevent thia, the sironcest appeals axe made to the people of Georgia and the Uarolinas to rise @n masse, and harass his fianke and attack his rear, Additional It {s known that Genera! S!ocutm's command wes advancing along the Atlanta and Georgia rail- road, and onthe 2th of November was at Ruck- heed, eighty miles from Atlanta and # hundred Miles from Augusta, Milledgeville was occupied a few deys after, According to rebel papers the plsco wns evacuated in advance, and all the stores, records, and archives were destroyed. Two days afterwards, on the 22d, Governor B own and Genera! Dick Taylor were at Macon, and every preparaiion wos made to defend the place, Bus the right wing, under General Howard, paased by, and left the rebel hosts far ‘u the rear. On Tuesday last it wae at Gordon, an important town on the Georgia Cantral Railroad, twenty miles cast of Macon. At that tine General Blocum was probably still at Backhead, on the line of the Atiants and Augusta Railroad. The two wings were therefore only forsy m lee epart, and within supporting distance, and no doubt with perfect cavalry communications. Gen- eral Sherman's headquarters were with the right wing—General Howard's, veral Hardee bad arrive] at Macon, and General Bowauregard at last eccounts was hourly expected. It is appsrent that the rebels are making desporate attempts to con- centrate a force at Augusta, but itis by no means certain thas Genoral Sherman wil! attack it, It he is likely tocisappoint any rebel game by ; ansing it by and learing it in bis rear he will be certain to do ae, From certain movements at Port Royal it is not improbable that @ laud force may com; with Sherman from that point, and it ia anid that General Conby had detachod powerful force from the Missise'ppi te cut off the rebel railrond corn: muvications with Mobile, and thue rate wopole any possible attempt to send reinforcements frou Ten neeso to Georgia. Genera!

The (itor ian editors evi- dently think as they wish, and ranufecture re- ports which require the annihilation of ttme and space. Bherinan is clearly wot going to eomuit the blunder of waiting for his euemica to concen- trate against him. On the coutrary, he will move rapidly aud surely upon the objectionable points towarde which he is tending. The re! cls are ut- terly unable to impede his progress, This vew 1s sustained by the statement of rele) ex-General Roger A.

Pryor Says. Washington, Nov. 2. The latest information from the South {e probably thas from ax General Roger A. Pryor, who wae brought hither to~<ley aa ® prisoner and kxlged in the Old Capital, He was captured last Suoday, near Petersburg. Several gentieruen, who shortiy after that occurrence were present during @ conversation with him, say he | admitted that Sherwan hed esptured Macon and Milledgeville, and that there was littl, if any, doula, from the proyrrese be was making, that bo had captured Augusta: and that ho would encoun- ter nothing serious to impede his march to the sea- doard; that with Avguste in hie posscasion the Southwest would be cut off from Richmond, em@ that no troops could be rent from Lee to reinforce Savannah. Gen. Pryos tafked freely, and appar- cutly with frankness, remarking that the South now regarded Gen. Sherman with more alaria than other officer in the service of the United States ; and thet the prows of the South would nut any be so commuutcative as heretofore regarding Sher- man's inovements. He further anid it was reported that Sherman hed Hterated @ number of Federal prisoners and armed them, but thie rumor needed confirmation, ENERAL THOMAS, Repulee of the Rebels at Colambia. Nashville, Nov, &.—Nothing bas been beard from Hood's army on our front «ince rester lay evening, the telegraph wires being down. Hood made an assaulton our works at Columbia, south of Duck river, on Saturday, and was badly repulent, A email portion of the rebel cavalry has succeded tn crossing the Duek river, Hood has made other developments of bin plana, but thus far he hae ec- complished noting further than econscriptiag some of his ‘lear friends." Theme ie no foundation for the rumor of the evacuation of Johnsonville, ex- cept a proper prenaration for possible contingen- cies. The military situation is satisfactory to the euthorities, Tic impression gains ground that Hood will move enst across the Chattanooga, pos- sibly with the bope of accomplishing something by cowperating with Rreckinridge.

Pryor, now a private soldier In tho Con- feierate army, wae captured on Friday last by the Fifth Corpa pickets of the Army of the Potomac, while attempting to exchange papers with our pickets, This waa done in retaliation for the re- cent capture of Captain Burbridge, by the rebel picket, under similar circumstances, Pryor saya that General Leo issued an order for the return of Captain Burbridge, on Saturday, and he will probably be returned as soon as Captain Burbridve is sent back, Since the capture of Pryor, Captain Rurbridge has been dismissed the army for dea obeying the order forbidding the exchange of pa- pers, or halding intercourse with the enemy undor any pretext whatever, Pryor has been brought to Washington and committed to the Old Cupitol Prison. The information from the Army of the Potornac, wup w Sunday evening. It states that the usual amount of picket firing was heard along the ‘ront, Dut beyond that, all was quiet. In Goneral But- ler’ department the picket firing was heavier than usual, on Bunday, and there wus also considerable cannonading.

The raiders were Promptly driven from the road, and no further trouble is anticipated. THIRD DIRPATOH, Baltimore, Nor, %,— The following are the facts as far as they can be gathered of the raid on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, About one o'clock on Monday afternoon # robe! foree estimated at from 1,500 to 2,000 strony, appeared tm front of New Creek Station, which was defended by a «mall body of troops behind earthworks. Tho Iatter were moon overcome, aud elther surrendered or fled. Ins short time the encmy were in fuli pos- session of the post. They blew up tho earthworks and destroyed all the temporary snd other build. ings, excepting the residence of Colone! Armstrong, who ts either now or has been in the rebel army. The cutting of the telograph wires gave the slarm to the railroad men at Piedmont, whereupon all the rolling stock of the company and other movable property wes seut of, Soon after the enemy reached Piedmont rnd destroyed the rvad-house of the company, also a large workshop, aud a con- siderable quantity of valua'le stationary machin- ery. Bo far agin known, uo dainage waa done to the railroad track or bridzes. The enemy are ro- ported to have lefi, going in a southerly direction.
