The War News. Later accounts from Georgia represent that our army is in line of battle, confronting Sherman's advance, at Lovejoy's station, on the Macon and Western railroad, twenty-nine miles from Atlanta. We have good authority for stating that every effort was made by General Hood to hold Atlanta to the last. In abandoning the place the Army of Tennessee was saved intact, and all the trains were brought off safely. The surplus ordnance and commissary stores were blown up or burned,the people of conquered cities were subjected to anticipate any better imprisoned on the suspension of disloyalty to the Yankee Government, and forced to take the oath of allegiance, is at least among the probabilities attaching to the event. Sherman is too much of a military tyrant to exercise any humanity towards those who are so unfortunate as to be thrown into his clutches, and the people of Atlanta "who remained" will form no exception to the general rule.

The Chicago Convention was designed to aid one party in turning out another, and in obtaining posseso for us has wrought a change in our people which, if it be indulged in to a much greater extent, will do for the enemy what Grant has been unable to do, and what Sherman, though more successful than Grant, will in like manner be unable to effect. It has created a general belief that we are shortly to have peace, although, most cend so they may cry now — and so they have been crying for months; but we tell them now, as Patrick Henry told them then, there is no peace. This small success of Sherman, magnified by falsehood into a crushing defeat of the rebel army, will dispel that dangerous and delusive dream as the trumpet of war starts the warrior from his
