Fort Morgan (Alabama, United States) (search for this): article 1
. The works abandoned by the Yankees were found to be very strong, consisting, in some places, of five lines of fortifications thrown up, one in the rear of the other. The batteries bearing upon Atlanta were not so formidable in appearance, but they occupied positions from which almost every building of prominence was visible, and afforded the artillerists the most desirable targets. From Mobile Nothing of importance has occurred in the vicinity of Mobile since the surrender of Fort Morgan. The people are making vigorous preparations for the defence of the city, having resolved that it shall be held to the last extremity. A New York paper, speaking of the chances of Farragut's trying his heavy artillery further up the bay, says:"It is well that public expectation should not be too exacting. The achievements thus far are of incalculable benefit; but the demand for the presence of a portion of the fleet at the entrances to Wilmington become hourly more pressing." Ther
Sandtown (Georgia, United States) (search for this): article 1
a. We have news of fighting near Atlanta, but the accounts thus far received are confused and unsatisfactory. It is stated that on Wednesday last the enemy's entrenchments were attacked and taken by Generals Stephen D. Lee and Patrick Cleburne, with Hardee's corps; but the enemy having received heavy reinforcements, no decisive advantage was gained by our troops. We are not informed whether this attack was made upon the enemy's right, on the West Point railroad, or on his left, on the Sandtown road. The Yankees, in their change of position on the 26th ultimo, abandoned the Georgia railroad and swung around until their right rested on the West Point railroad, south of Atlanta, with the view of interrupting our communications. The attack on Wednesday may have been an effort to dislodge them from this position. That the engagement was not general along the entire length of the lines is manifest from the fact that only a portion of our forces participated; but the confused nat

having taken a circuitous route from their main army, dashed down upon Dearing's camp, on the road to Dinwiddie Courthouse, intending to surprise and capture the whole command. Dearing's men, however, were fully prepared, and repulsed them with ease, driving them back to their lines. A number of prisoners were brought over last evening and assigned quarters in the Libby. Colonel Thompson B. Lamar, of Florida, who was wounded on the 20th ultimo on the Weldon railroad, died in Dinwiddie county on Tuesday last. He was a brave and gallant officer. From Georgia.

fill up their exhausted commissariat. Then they will resolve for a national convention to adjust matters, and here they will stop. They know that no adjustment short of recognition of the independence of the South can take place, and they know that an armistice would be greatly to the advantage of the rebels, and hence they favor it. Mr. Fillmore's strength in the Convention will be confined to those States in which there are but few foreigners. In the West his Know-Nothing record of 1856 would ruin him, and it will throw him out of much strength he would otherwise have in the Convention. There are two delegations from Kentucky, one called the Bramlette delegation, and the other the Powell and Wickliffe delegation. Considerable of a fight is expected in the Convention on the question of the admission of one or the other of these. The war-horses of the party are already on the ground. Old Sam.

In point of numbers, I should estimate it at about four thousand. Everything passed off in quiet so far as known. I send a brief synopsis of the resolutions passed, to wit: Resolution first re-affirms the devotion of the Democracy to the Constitution and Union, and also to the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions of 1798 and 1799; further, that the Democracy of Illinois reiterate and adopt the resolutions of the Democratic State Convention of January, 1861, which disapproves of coercion as bringing on the horrors of civil war.
