Additional from the North. From Baltimore papers of the 26th we take some additional accounts of occurrences already briefly noticed: The recent battle near Atlanta. The Northern papers contain some characteristic accounts of the late movements of Sherman near Atlanta and the defeat of McPherson's corps there. The correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, who actually dates his letter at Atlanta, on the 22d, gives the following account of the movements since crossing the Chattahoochee: On the morning of the 18th the whole line advanced, McPherson taking position on the extreme left, Schofield having the left centre, Howard the centre, Hooker the right centre, and Palmer the extreme right. On the morning of the 19th our advance reached Peach Tree Creek, a stream running four miles north of Atlanta, and after considerable skirmishing the enemy was dislodged, and a portion of Howard's corps crossed our left wing in the meantime, swinging around to the Atlanta and

he hearts of all loyalists with sadness and gloom. After Gen McPherson's death Gen Logan assumed command of his grand division. A later dispatch states that our forces had obtained possession of the elevated ground on the northeast of the town, and that siege guns had been mounted, which command the place; also, that the rebels were burning their stores preparatory to a retrograde movement. Everybody feels confident that Atlanta by this time has fallen into our hands. On Saturday, the 23d, the Washington Republican published an extra, from which we extract the following: The terrible struggle ended in the city by repulsing the enemy at every point on the line. It was arranged that on Saturday the dead of both armies should be buried, and the wounded removed, under a flag of truce. The Union troops buried 1000 rebels left upon the field within our lines. The rebels buried many of their own dead near their own works, and upon this basis it is estimated that the rebel

the left centre, Howard the centre, Hooker the right centre, and Palmer the extreme right. On the morning of the 19th our advance reached Peach Tree Creek, a stream running four miles north of Atlanta, and after considerable skirmishing the enemy was dislodged, and a portion of Howard's corps crossed our left wing in the meantime, swinging around to the Atlanta and Augusta Railroad, near Decatur, and tearing up several miles of track. On the evening of the 19th and morning of the 20th of July, Howard, Hooker, and Palmer crossed the balance of their corps, forming a line of battle along the north bank of the creek. At 3 o'clock P M the rebels made a desperate and sudden assault on Howard in great force. The attack soon extended to Hooker's corps, the rebels advancing three lines deep. A portion of our line at first wavered before the terrible onset, but were quickly rallied and stood as firm as a rock. Upon this portion of our line was massed more than half the rebel arm

The rebels buried many of their own dead near their own works, and upon this basis it is estimated that the rebel killed and wounded on Friday will exceed six thousand, the average being about seven wounded to one killed. Our loss will reach about 2,500 in killed and wounded. The 15th corps suffered severely, for the reason named above, that the enemy massed against it. It was this act of the enemy, in part, that cost him such heavy loss. Wh

Speaking of the Yankee defeat in the Valley, the Baltimore Gazette says the Yankees under Crook, Averill, Mulligan and Kelly were not pursuing the "rebel raiders" when they met with their reverse, but had discontinued the pursuit.

Hooker's corps. The rebel loss in killed, wounded, and missing exceeded six thousand, including three Brigadier Generals. On the extreme left our operations were equally successful, Gen. McPherson driving the enemy for several miles. Gen. Blair's division advanced a mile and a half south of the Augusta railroad. On the morning of the 21st (Thursday) the enemy were driven, with but small loss to us, to their works immediately around Atlanta; and on the 23d (Friday) they had withdrefeat and death: The Government has received dispatches from General Sherman, announcing that on Friday the Rebels, under Gen Hood, massed a heavy force against his left wing, consisting of McPherson's grand division, composed of Logan's and Blair's corps, and made a desperate attack, gaining a temporary advantage. The enemy did terrific fighting, in which a number of charges were made on both sides, but were repulsed with much slaughter and driven into their fortifications. Major G

the 21st, says a courier arrived there Thursday from Henderson, Ky., advising the military authorities that Henderson was attacked by rebels, from 150 to 700 strong, and fighting was going on. Our gunboats immediately left for Henderson. The Union troops which went to Henderson on Wednesday to shoot two guerilla prisoners, in retaliation for the murder of a Union man in Henderson, occasioned this rebel raid. Certain distinguished citizens made great efforts to prevent the execution. Gen Ewing postponed it. The citizens of Henderson left the place in large numbers before the attack began. Persons who left later report the guerillas in the city, and the Union troops in line of battle awaiting the attack. The timely arrival of the gunboats would save the Union troops from disaster. The gunboats were shelling the woods at last accounts. There was much excitement at Louisville, and horses were being impressed for the emergency by the Yankee authorities. A rumor was also afl

to their works immediately around Atlanta; and on the 23d (Friday) they had withdrawn entirely from Gens. Hooker and Palmer's front, and at 2 P. M. of that day portions of our army entered the city. This correspondent thinks that Sherman may "have some fighting for the full possession of the city, but the campaign is considered substantially closed." A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial puts down the official report of the loss in the four divisions of Hooker's corps at 1,713. Gresham, commanding one division, was wounded. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune telegraphs that paper the following about McPherson's defeat and death: The Government has received dispatches from General Sherman, announcing that on Friday the Rebels, under Gen Hood, massed a heavy force against his left wing, consisting of McPherson's grand division, composed of Logan's and Blair's corps, and made a desperate attack, gaining a temporary advantage.
