the North in favor of a continued prosecution of the war. In itself it is no misfortune whatever. The Yankee papers have been telling us for many weeks past that Sherman could enter and take possession any day he pleased. But he regarded the mere possession as an empty triumph, which it was not worth the cost of life to obtain. g the enemy, with immense slaughter, from his entrenchments. But there was an interval of seven miles between Hardee's corps and the main body, and into this gap Sherman thrust a heavy column.

If these opinions be correct, then we may rationally account for the apparent listlessness manifested by the foe for nearly three weeks past in our front. The -Will Grant allow them to be sent to Georgia so long as they may be needed to prevent his failure in Virginia! It is not probable.
