d nucleus for a wreath of laurel. Such is the intelligence from Atlanta, official and unofficial. It appears that when Sherman crossed the Chattahoochee he did so with an arrangement of his forces intended for the investment of Atlanta. Our army th and Gist mentioned by Gen. Hood. Had the enemy captured East Point that would have completely invested the city, and Sherman could have commenced his siege. The brilliant movement of Wheeler, who is now, it appears, operation on the enemy, 'instead of covering our retreats, if correctly reported, is very damaging to Sherman's army. The supplies for the Yankees are brought across the Chattahoochee, and then wagoned to Decatur, a distance of about 15 miles, and this interruption of ras in the rear, coupled with the disastrous fighting in the front with Hardee, is likely to cause a change of position in Sherman's whole force — probably to the extent of falling back to the line of the Chattahoochee.

So far as it is from its base, it must be exposed to great difficulties in retreating, and from the character of our Commanding General, we are convinced he will leave nothing untried which may add to those difficulties. What effect it will have upon the Northern nominations remains to be seen; but we think we may safely say that the skies begin to brighten in the direction of Atlanta. As for Grant's troops which have crossed to the North side, we feel no uneasiness about the
