" several days' observation and inquiry since the enemy occupied the place,--report that the force of Sherman now there consists of three distinct armies, divided into ten army corps, and embracing, altogether, a strength of one hundred and twenty thousand. They give the number and position of these armies as follows: Army of the Cumberland, commanded by General Schofield, quartered at Decatur, twenty to thirty thousand strong. Army of Mississippi, commanded by General Smith, at East Point, twenty to thirty thousand strong. Army of Tennessee, commanded by General Thomas, quartered in Atlanta, fifty to sixty thousand strong. They report that Sherman is now running eight trains daily to and from Chattanooga.

Before the ten days armistice is over Atlant

rs in Tennessee--repulse of Yankee troops. In the two dispatches given below the Yankees acknowledge a defeat; and then, to make up for that much truth, tell a lie which they themselves can hardly believe: Nashville, October 12.--Colonel Hoag, of Washburne's command, with thirteen hundred infantry and a battery of four guns, on board of three transports, convoyed by two gunboats, at 3 o'clock P. M., on the 10th instant, met the enemy under General Forrest, commanding in person, at East Point, with two batteries, and was repulsed with a loss of twenty killed and twenty-six wounded and missing. All the guns of the battery were lost and two of the transports disabled. Two caissons were burned by the explosion of Forrest's shells. Forrest is supposed to have crossed the river. Colonel Hodge, with the balance of his force, had reached Johnsonville river. There is eight feet of water on the shoals, and the river is falling. Clarksville, Tenn., October 12. -

Grange (Georgia) Bulletin says: Atlanta is now garrisoned by General Slocum and the Twentieth Yankee army corps. General Iverson, last Thursday, captured East Point and drove the enemy's pickets beyond Whitehall, which place General Iverson held for several hours; and from there he could plainly overlook Atlanta and its garrison of blue coats. All the stories about the evacuation and burning of Atlanta are false. General Iverson captured fifty wagons at East Point, in splendid condition, together with an immense quantity of extra harness. There were also near there — there and thereabouts — the wreck and debris of seventy-five burned army way have made two or three dashes into the suburbs.--There are no Federal cavalry around the city, and our patrol make daily observations on a line extending from East Point to Decatur. That none of the Federal force has yet moved in the direction of either Macon or Augusta has thus been ascertained satisfactorily. The garrison at
