pon the people of the Valley, and will doubtless keep them up so long as they are permitted to remain. They not only burn private dwellings, but mills and storehouses, and steal or destroy everything that can sustain life. They burnt three mills last Friday night. Early has a long account to settle with them, and we trust that retaliation may be duly inflicted north of the Potomac. The situation in Georgia. The ten days armistice proposed by Sherman for the purpose of depopulating Atlanta is now in operation, and until that expires there will be no renewal of hostilities in Georgia. The opinion is very general that this armistice was only a trick of Sherman's for the purpose of covering his own designs, but it is hoped that Hood will, in the meantime, improve the opportunity by making due preparations to circumvent them. By vigorous action, all that we have lost in Georgia may be regained. In refusing to exchange prisoners for men whose terms of service have expired, Sher

The battle of Jonesboro' To the Atlanta Intelligencer we are indebted for the first succinct and intelligible account we have yet had of the battle that preceded the fall of Atlanta: On Wednesday morning, August, 31 the enemy advanced in heavy force against the position which General Hardee held at Jonesboro' in accordance with orders. A severe and most terrible battle ensued during the day. General Hardee being in command of the two corps in position, placed his own corps in chargeterans. At nightfall, the line was nearly in the same position that it occupied in the morning. During the night, Lee's corps, by order of General Hood, moved to the right to form a connection with Stewart's corps and the militia forces in Atlanta. Thus a large amount of the effective strength of Hardee's command was withdrawn and his line fearfully weakened. Early on Thursday, the Yankee army, consisting of six corps, led in person by Sherman, advanced on the enfeebled line hold by

they are all designed to affect the election. The people at home perfectly understand Grant. They know that his campaign this summer was a most complete and a most disastrous failure. Nothing could exceed their despondency until the affair of Atlanta, as the following extracts from the New York Tribune and Times sufficiently prove. The first is from the Tribune, giving in its adhesion to Lincoln, after having been long in the habit of persistently assailing him every morning. It is dated tnearest to it. Our own people were at that time in a state of mind bordering upon exultation. What has happened since to depress them ?--for that the weak-kneed are despondent at this moment it were folly to deny. Why, Sherman has entered Atlanta — a place of no strategic importance whatever — and has fought a battle with a portion of Hood's army, in which the latter lost fifteen hundred men. In spite of the fact, notorious to all, that we have been everywhere victories this summer; that
