The President in the South.

Atlanta, Oct. 9.
--The President arrived here by special train from Augusta last evening, and proceeded this morning to the headquarters of Gen. Bragg. At Marietta he was met by Gov. Brown, and made a short address to the people, complimenting Georgia for the stand she had occupied during the war. Her troops had done their duty on every field, and from her Governor he had received earnest and prompt cooperation. He was particularly gratified when, in response to a recent call for eight thousand troops, Gov. Brown had tendered him fifteen thousand.

The President was accompanied from Marietta by Gens. Longstreet, Pemberton, and Breckinridge, Senator Cobb and Gov. Brown, of Ga., and his own personal staff.
