Meeting of Tennessee refugees, Etc.

Atlanta, Sept. 16.
--No communication is allowed with Bragg's army and the rear. Trains run to Dalton.

Three hundred Tennessee refugees met in this city yesterday, and passed the following resolutions:

Resolved, That however deeply we regret to leave our State and friends exposed to Yankee brutality, our confidence in General Bragg and the officers and men under his command is undiminished.

Resolved, That we recognize in President. Davis wisdom, firmness, and statesmanship, and are proud to present him as a Southern gentleman and Christian patriot.

Resolved, That we deprecate croakers, and recommend military critics to place themselves closer to our distinguished leaders.--To friends behind, we say be in good cheer, and a bright sun will shine down upon our homes. Trust in God. We are sure of ultimate success.
