The supplies for theYankees are brought across the Chatta-hoochee, anil thenwagoned to Decatur, adistance of ahout IS miles, and this in-terruption of rations in the rear, coupledwith the disastrouslighting in the frontwith Hardee, is likelyto cause a ehangrofposition in Sherman's wholeforce?proh-sbly to the extent of falling hack to tholine ofthe Chattahoochee.

IROM THE VAM.KY Or TO96IXIA.The enemy achieved a small success in

the vicinity of Winchester on tho 22d,?which will ba duly magnified hy theNorthern papers into a brilliantvictory.It appears lhat, misled by information inregard to the enemy's strength, a Con-federate force marched out to attmkthem, when they suddenly found them-selves in the presence of Averill's andCrook's entire commands. In the rightwhich ensued wo lost some two hundredand fifty men captured, and four piecesof artillery. The force engaged was nota portion of the command which enteredMaryland, but simply a party stationedat Winchester as a guard.

All the prdperty captured by our"army of invasion'" has reached a placeof security, andwill speedily be renderedavailableto the Confederate cause.

All accounts received of the engage-ment at Snicker's represent that theYankees were badlyjwhipped on that oc-casion. It is stated that some fifteenhundred of the enemy fell to rise no

J more, and only six were made prison-ers. It is probable'that a considerablenumber were drowned in their attemptto recross the Shenandoah., YANKEE DESFKTER3.

A private letter from Maryland, datedthe 11th of July, states that the coun-trybelow Washington swarms with de-serters from tho .Federal aimJ, endea-voringto make their way to theirhomes.So numerous are the desertions that ithas been found necessary to employ alarge force of detectives to hunt up thefugitives.

AFFAIIIS AT CHARLESTONThe enemy are still shellingFort Sum-

ter, and on Mondaylast threw as manyas 19ii shells into it. On Morris Islandthe Yankees are building a shed house,intended, it is supposed, for the confine-ment of the ConfederateGeneral officersunder fire. Recent high tides have agooddeal damaged the Yankeeworks onthe island. To show the magnitude ofthe recent movements on Charleston, wecopy the following circular, issued byGen Foster upon the.inaugurationof theexpedition:

Lt Louis Zimmer, as-sistant to Chief of Ordnance, ha* charge ofthat department. In return for lead audarms, he issues to the people corn menl andflour.

Rich* .sd, June "d, :--?.To tht PietHeiU and Mcmbert </ th. CVy V uneU :

Very earlytn the morning outDO 1 ilit May, I-til,when a very large Yankee force, under the ctiuiinami of Oen Sheridan, wan very near the ctty of iHichniond,and wheu everycitizen who could i:ear jarms was called upon to ao so, I received a ima \u25a0aage Irom the Secretary at War, desiring to see meat hta office. I Immediatelycalled upon hlui.wiu >the requested me to haveassembled upon the Oepl-tol Square,as speedily ai I could, all ihe potleeforce under my control capable of b-.aritig arms,and to keep them upon the Capitol Bqaaaa, Withthis r< quest I promptly compiled by having tbflwholit night and day po Ice ass in-,,,tf at theCity Hall, when I told them the object of myconvening them, and wliere lliey wore to be sta-tioned, under my authority, and there to remainuntil discharged by me. They were then paaaed Inthe Capitol Pqaare as a dim.o i oraaala til'.u. Unthat day, while there mseiul-l-ii, hiu! alAillawWhen the f-quare was filled wilh a large co.icour-eof persona, 1 think aboirt twoo'clock In the day, 1was called on by John J Creea,inthe f'ity Hall,ami asked whether I auftVred card placing In theCapitol Maaia by ihe police, i m« earjMtaedat Hih question, and 1 Mm what Ik; meant,when I waa told lhat pome ef the wa'Chwete there playingcard*. I immediatelyord.redhint to go and order th- to io tlhcnntlnilt: 11,that such conduct wa* v ibgmae to tlu-mselveaand to the city. I beard no mure of it until alater hour in tha .lay, when 1 wa* liif,.inii thata controversy h id taken piaee on the -"-qtHirebetween Captain Pleasants nnl Br Seal, uponthe subject of the witch paying curds on theSquare. 1 ai-ut forMrrieal to know what I: niei.nt,when Mr S«*l came before me and waa anted whatwas tho difficulty between hliasi i; and ? a;.t-iuftaaaaaaa,he informed me that captain P t ?-int..had Hpproaced him upon ifi.i Square ami salt! tohim that he underdood he ('eat) was going to p;e-aeul hiru before tho Urand Juryfor playing cardsupott the Square, to which he, (Seal ) to use hUown words, said jocularly: ''Yes, he was; amithat the Mayorhad forbid their playing cards tvthe fquare." At which Captain Pleasant* re-plied,with exolltnii-i.l: " You may take my coinpllmeiiU to tho Mayor and tell hlni 1 will pUycards whenever I d?d please;and wherever Itl- dplease, fu spite of Mr Mayor or Mr Seal." I hiswaa Mr Seal's fust statement to mo in my upperoffice, misstatement was reatlirined by Mr Si nlon oath in tbe Mayu/'a court room, where ttu-tmatter waa pubMcly inquired iuto. exeepi Mr Sealthen said be couldn't cay poi.lilv.lythai hit {CaptPleasants) used the word '? dnnin." I deem itproper to say that Captain Pleasants Bested tinsstatement in :hu Mayor's court, but did to l denyhta playing cards ou the Square an.l aa I neverhad the slightest reason to doubt the Integrityorveracity of Reuben 1 Seat, I bHleve this statetueiit, and I should do it uucorifrmed, but 8M ofiln- wt.u tiiif-n prest-nl (J.tm.s Kentudy) has In-formed BM that he heard Ihe sanif laeguagtt.

Mr .-ttlitis, oi y«ur body, and Mr ri.uiiuel Ellis,the Oleik ol tjie Ma. kef, were ines.-nl aid wit-aaaaad aa99 this most \u25a0aaaleei like conducton the part of one of the police ..ftieersof tnis cityand the Chairman of tne \3**m*W*m of PsUea a; -leiiiied tbe elimination before me, and cm.i tloubtless correct any erior that I may uave fallen in oIn my recollection of the facts proved, all of winchare notstated here, especially the statement madeby Mr Ellis, whom I desire tbe Council to havebefore them, or any committee to wix.m ttiajr maythink puoper to confer ttiis subject, Ifthe Councildeem it aiaaaaaty. This eaaaacl ot cspt ftaaa.ants n quires uo conußcnt fioin me, except losaythat it Is not the first instance of insubordinationthat Induces an- to believe confidently Ib.ii, asCapt Pleasants la elected by the perple as well astuysetf, he believes that he Is not under my coe-trul or authority, either nev. r havltg read or entireiy the churteror the Police Oidiuniceof the city.

I call your attention to trie '.nut sectlniiol thenewlyamended charter, page .tv, to the Itß aaettaaof the odlnatice concernlog piilicc, whero It willbe lound thai it la the duly of every polio officerto pieveul, Instead of cnmuifttiiijj, ? l!', > again-tthe laws of the Commonwealth and ordinances ofthe city And as 1 am the bead of the police ofthe city, I deem lt my Itnpeitous duty to preventtherecairence of si dtagraceiul a scene as thsplayingof cards upon the Capitol Ptjuare by anypari ot the police of this city, especially upon suchan occasiou as ihie, aud to cause the witnesseswho saw it lo be summoued to attend togive cvi- 'dence before the next grand jurybaviug jurtsdic-Uoa over the subject.

After the hearing of this matter, and the exami-nation of these proofa, I ordered Ui- discharge oTihe six watchmen engaged In the catd playingthere,and said as 1 had uoauthority to remove orsuspend Capt Pleasants, I wou d report him andhis conduct to tbe Council tor their actios. Itw.lB at the lime suggested M me by a gentlemanstanding by that these men were under the beliefthat ihey were there uuder militaryauthority, aaduot mloe, and whether 1 Blight not suspend theexecution of that judgment,aud let the executionof it await the action of the council How thesewen, or any of them, got the Impression, wblcßthen for ihe first time came to my knowledge, 1know not. It could uot have been from anythingI said or Aid. but I yieldedw the suggestion of ihegentleman,and bavenot jet executed the order,but shall do It; for, upon "mature ittl-ctioa, 1 donot teebow Ibis ceo Justify or ml'i< -\u25a0- ibis growoairrge of law,order aad decent y, weietheyuuder*tbat belief.
