Empty.

--Since the evacuation by our troops of Atlanta, Georgia, there has been a commendable anxiety manifested on the part of furloughed and other soldiers to rejoin their commands. Hitherto the various spacious buildings in our city, which have been rented by agents from the different States, and fitted up for the temporary accommodation of soldiers passing through the city, have always been full of occupants; but such is not the case now. Many of them have been empty for several days; and while passing down Main street yesterday afternoon, the old Union Hotel, under the special management of Dr. Walker and his assistant, Mr. Dixon, as a wayside inn for the soldiers from North Carolina, presented a desolate and deserted appearance. At this building many of the soldiers' families, when they are in Richmond on their way to or from the army, often stop, and are provided with wholesome fare and comfortable lodging, in accordance with the design for which the "home" was established.
