Presuming intelligence, of our operations up to where the army left Buzzard Boost, I shall speak tmly of those tub sequent to that, and in aa brief manner as possible. -i.

On Thursday, May 12th, nearly the whole army was in motion towards Snake Creek which lies about fifteen miles south of Bustard Boost, only Howard, with Wood's and Stanley's left to threaten the enemy in front of Dalton. ft ihbuld be observed, however, that crossing direojtly-over from passed through Snake Creek Gap ma early- as Monday, the 9th of By morning of Friday, tbe 13th, the bulk of our forces was aaaembled at Sugar Valley, near the eastern month of the gap cavalry covering the operations of the infantry. Gen. Eilpatrick was 'wounded while attending to this work. Paring the ISth tbe army was occupied in deploying from the gap, and getting in position.

Heavy skirmishing took place during the day. Gen of General Logan's corps met with 'ble loss By the enemy's position was fully discpvered. ii situated in a great bend of the Coosawattee Biver, toward the east. Across the neck of the convex portion of the peninsula thus formed, extended continuous lines of rebel works, with strong field especially about the town. Both their flanks rested on.the river, 'and the line of retreat was completely, protected by these flortifl- catioDI.

By the night of Friday our army was in position around the. rebel, except Howard's forces, which bad occupied Palton the day before, and were'sweeping down the line of the Altoph'a and Western Railroad, to form ajunction. with tha rest of the army. On Eaturday, the Hth, skirmishing gan early in the morning, and continued incessantly throughout the day all along the line. About 2 o'clock It was especially severe upon the left of the 15th Corps, many of our m.en being picked off by the rebel sharpshooters.

About noon Howard effected a junction with the rest of the army, and our whole force was then in corps forming the extreme left, Schofield'e coming next, Hooker's next, Palmer's next, Logan's with two divisions of the 16th Corps, being on tbe extreme right, (Such dispositions and changes were after, ward made as the movements of the enemy or tbe evacuation of our own plans required but generally the line remained as I have incicated. About 1 P. M. an attempt was to break the centre of tbe enemy's line, or, at least, to recapture outer works. Gen.

Judah's division of Schofield's corps, and Newton's division of Howard's corps, moving over comparatively level ground, succeeded, alter a desperate conflict, in in compelling the rebels tc abandon tbe positioj of their outer line. We did not continue to bold this but, our own line being aomewhat advanced, our artillery acting very effectively, prevented the rebels from occupying it. Further to our right we were not so fortunate. Portions of Jaorion's, -Baird's and Weaver's divisions of Palmer's corps, in attempting to charge the rebels In front, were compelled to throw themselves down an almost perpendicular bank; wade a creek waist-deep, which ran at the foot of the bluff; and then across a valley filled with ditches, fully exposed to a fire from the rebel works. Never did men go to work more gallantly, or contest more noble but they could not accomplish impossibilities, and, after severe loss, were ed to withdraw.

It was now discovered that the enemy were moving a beavp force up the Kesaca and Filton road, with the obvious purpose of turning our left. Hooker was immediately sent to check-mate this movement. fore be arrived, however, the rebels had thrown themselves into immtsse upon Cruft's brigade ot Stanley's division, and forced it, after splendid resistance, to sbandon on the bill upon which it was posted, and retire in considerable confusion. The rebels yelling like demons, came rushing across the road and open field to tbe west of it, when they were met by a murdernua fire of grabe and canister floor Simpson's old New York battery and the 5th Indiana. At tbe same time, portions of Hooker's men, falling into an open space, took position upon both sides uf tbe valley and supported them.

Parts of Cruft's groken brigade rallied to tbe rescue, and the rebels mere repulsed with great slaughter. It was night when tbe contest ceased. Meantime a fierce conflict had corns meoced upon tbe right. Morgan Smith's and Oeterbaus' divisions of Logan's corps, with 6prague's brigade of Veatch's division of the 16th Corps, charged a line of rubcl rifle-pits a little to to the j-ight of and in sight of Besaca, and intrepidly carried them. This was about P.

An hour afterwards the rebel leaders, masting a large force, attempted lo regain possession of these works. Coming boldly up a long hill to tba very foot of the works, they seemed determined to them or perl sb but they wer met with a determination aa firm as their own. The line of flre sweeping tbe LJll was answered by a Hue of fire from tbe summit. The yell of the rebels was drowned in the louder shouts of tbe Federal diers; and, after a struggle worty of a good cause, tbe rebel host warhurled down the bill, leaving its sides covered with tbe dead and wounded. Our men continued to bold this work, which the rebel -never regained.

On Sunday morning fighting" commenced as upual, but nothing of particular importance occurred until about 1 p. m. At tbat time a determined charge was made by Hooker's corps, which, now occupied our Howard's and Schofleld's having been shifted toward the right, to fill up the gap occasioned by Hooker's "withdrawal the day before. Ihe charge was at first believed to be suc-esaful. The enemy were driven portion of the liner, and Wood's brigade, of Butterfield's diivia ion, stormed a fort'and took a battery of four guns.

Tbe rebels, however, having massed on this part of the line very heavily the day before, our men were exposed to so deadly a fire from the inner works that they were compelled to withdraw. A part of them continued to bold the small -and kept possession of the four rebel guns. Slot, withstanding this repulse, our line was now advanced bad been the first rebel line of works. Thus bad we held our own in the centre and gained substantial and permanent advantage on both 7 For this, and fat- sdme sreaton yet unknown, the enemy thought it best, to retire, and on Sunday night evacuated; with his entire les-Ting only three guns and some soxrres of meat and com binl, Early this: morning we and no doubt Joe Jojinstorils by river.

After a period ol unusual activity and ex citement, daring which prices generally attained an unprecedentedlv high range, ther is a little dullness in the. dry goods mark consequent upon the general cause which, fo the. last week, has checked operations iu eve department of trade.

Buyers are, of cours expecting a great tumble in gold as one tbe results of the spring campaign so terribi and energetically inaugurated by the army Virginia; and, as a secondary result, they afsc expect a great depreciation in commercia values. Butifthe.yeipect to buy dry good at a reduction corresponding to any possible clme in the price of gold, we lear they will disappointed. With no stocks in first hands the raw material scarce and tending up, th resources of skilled labor almost exhausted tbe- draft, and exorbitant taxation and turi rates hanging over the importation and pro duction of this class of merchandise, such. result, is commercially impossible. With consumptive demand far exceeding tbe supply the dry goods market has thus far not mere! hetd-its own, but steadily gained in strengt in spite of every fluctuation in tbe currency and under present circumstances it will slant a pretty heavy fall In fold and general com mercla! vainei without flinching.
