This station had been agreed upon as the place for the delivery of the exiles from Atlanta and the exchange of prisoners, just as Varina below Richmond was selected as the point of exchange in this part of the Confederacy. It was perfectly permissible to General Hood, at any time during the truce, to attack General Sherman in Atlanta, or for the latter to move upon him at Jonesboro', if either had been so inclined, or in a condition to undertake offensive operations. General Hood lost nothing, therefore, by the truce, since his hands were not tied by its provisions, except as to a single point on the railroad which we h
