From North Georgia.

Atlanta, May 25.
--Westward and casts ward to Columbus the homeless people of Northern Georgia are crowding into this city, to await the issue of the pending struggle between our army and the Federal. The relief committee here are pouring out everything that can be obtained for their sustenance, and call now to the people of Georgia, Alabama, and South Caroline, to aid and help them. Immediate, instant help is needed in clothing for women and children, bacon, salt meats, fish, meal, and corn. These things can be delivered to the agent of the Express Company, addressed to J. W. Duncan, President of the Relief Committee, Atlanta. They also need information as to where any number of destitute families can find shelter and food. Will the press please publish these and aid in the maiter?

Two press reporters came from the army this evening. Their intelligence is mostly of a character which prudence requires should be withheld from publication. Further movements, looking to a secure base for the army, have been completed.

The Yankees are reported moving down to Dalton in force. This morning some skirmishing took place on our extreme left.

The claim in this city has in a great measure subsided. Several days may elapse before a general engagement takes place.--The trains to-day come from Alton.
