nt predicts that "these predatory excursions of the enemy will come to grief yet." but through what process or in what manner we are not informed. From the Army of Tennessee. The following official dispatch was received yesterday: "Headquarters Army of Tennessee, "September 6, 1864. "General B. Bragg: Sherman has continued his retreat beyond Jonesboro" "[Signed] J. B. Hood, General." Jonesboro' is on the Macon and Western railroad, twenty-two miles south of Atlanta. The object of the enemy in withdrawing from General Hood's immediate front is, probably, to re-organize his army. The fight at Greenville. We have yet received but few particulars of the fight at Greenville, Tennessee. The Lynchburg papers have a report that our forces, under General Morgan, were surprised, and that in the fight which ensued General Morgan was wounded and fell into the enemy's hands. Later intelligence represents that the General had died of his wounds, and th

jor-General Dix, New York: No later intelligence from Atlanta than my telegram of last night has been received. The tel. This accounts for the absence of later information from Atlanta. No doubt is entertained here of the correctness of t Secretary of War. The Northern press on the fall of Atlanta. As might have been expected, the Northern papers are jubilant over the fall of Atlanta. The military situation is regarded as in the highest degree encouraging, and an early oveew York Herald heads its news thus: Sherman — Fall of Atlanta — Brilliant Strategic Movement of the Union Commander — Hopoints in the Confederacy. In noticing the capture of Atlanta, the Washington Chronicle says, editorially: Sherman is not driven from Atlanta. His communications have not been destroyed. His army is not compelled to fall back, starving a have hewn their way with their swords from Chattanooga to Atlanta have inflicted a deadly blow on the rebellion, the force o<

ad. The Macon Intelligencer, of the 1st instant, has the following brief account of the fight on the Macon and Western railroad just previous to the capture of Atlanta: To-day the Yankees effected a lodgement on the Macon and Western railroad, between Rough and Ready and East Point stations. They attacked our forces with sfrom early this morning until night, when the enemy still held possession of the road. General Hood, with Stewart's corps and the Georgia militia, remains in Atlanta, and communication between the two portions is kept up only by couriers, It is supposed that the enemy will make a rapid and terrible onset on the defences of AtlAtlanta at the earliest moment they can reach the city. The battle was very heavy along the entire line to-day, and resulted in very considerable loss to us. A large number of the wounded were arriving on the trains during the night. General Patton Anderson was seriously wounded in the face, and General Cumming wounded very b

Lieutenant-General Hardee. A correspondent of the Columbia South Carolinian, writing from Atlanta, August 29, says: It has been known for some time past, to some of us at least, that Lieutenant-General William J. Hardee had tendered his resignation in consequence of the ungenerous attacks upon General Johnston and his campaign by the friends of the Administration. General Hardee having endorsed the conduct of General Johnston throughout the long and tedious campaign, looked upon these unnecessary assaults as an indirect attack upon him as an officer; and, feeling that they were alike unjust to himself and his former commander, felt constrained to retire from a field where his services and worth was not recognized. The country, and especially the Army of Tennessee, will rejoice in the report that an appeal to his patriotism by his countless friends and admirers has caused him to withdraw the same. Be that as it may, we know that he is still in command of his veteran corp

A frightful scene. --The Atlanta correspondent of the Columbus Times gives the following description of the scene that followed the explosion of one of the enemy's shells in the basement of the Presbyterian Church on Marietta street: On Wednesday night a large 42-pound shell entered the Presbyterian Church, on Marietta street and, after passing through the pulpit, exploded in the basement, or Sunday-school room. Several families living in the vicinity, having taken refuge there, were more or less stunned and injured by the explosion, and one man had his right arm taken off. The scene in the room was frightful; it was after midnight, and all the inmates were sleeping peacefully, perfectly confident of security. Mothers caught up their children hurriedly and rushed frantically into the streets screaming, though without any definite purpose in view save that of escaping for the time from the scene which had struck such terror into their souls, and there, out upon the streets

who will lose at least half their number before the other half become tolerable soldiers, we may say with truth that they will not fill up the gaps in the ranks. Yet, it is absolutely necessary for our own safety, as well as for the ultimate triumph of our cause, that we should take energetic measures to recruit our ranks.--Upon this subject, we are pleased to see that the whole press is as unanimous as it is possible for a free press to be upon any subject whatever. The evacuation of Atlanta will be magnified by the Yankee press into a great victory, it will have the effect of facilitating the draft which commenced last Monday, and it will insure the required number of men. It will not do for us to depend upon resistance to the measure in the North by mobs, insurrections and popular commotions. We must recruit our own ranks to meet the accession of force which the Yankee army will be certain to receive, and we must do it speedily. There are numbers of able-bodied men doing wh
