*96 tlnM el 1I» Week. TTI-IE WAR. ARMY OF THE POTOMAC There has been very little in the tray of ■active operations daring the past week in this army. It was thought at one time that the rebels were about to make another des perate effort for the possession of the Wel don railroad, but up to this writing, no news -of such a movement has been received. On the evening of the sth the Union bat teries along the entire line opened and sa luted the enemy with a terrific fire for an hour, in honor of the fall of Atlanta. The •enemy replied sharply, so that both sides did honor to one of the most important sue-' cesses of the war. General Smyth,"of the First Delaware, is in command of Gibbon’s Division of the Second Corps, and General Gibbon has been temporarily assigned to the oommand of the Eighteenth Corps. In his official despatch of the 6th inst, Secre tary Stanton says: In honor of the capture of Atlanta, Gene ral Grant ordered a salute to be fired with shotted guns from every battery bearing upon the enemy. A correspondent writing under date of the 3d 'inst., gives the following statement of the reception of the news of the fall of Atlanta m the Army of the Potomac: “The tiresome monotony that charac terizes camp life pending a march, battle, Or any active movement, was quite agree ably disturbed hereabouts last evening, by the welcome news based on an official despatch received bv General Grant between four and five o'clook. containing the words, “Atlanta has fallen," coupled with the in formation that the town was occupied by the Twentieth Army Corps. The news spread with lightning-like rapidity throughout the lines of the army investing Petersburg, and smiling countenances, hearty exchanges of congratulations and general satisfaction was everywhere prevalent. Everybody de sired to know the particulars of the capture, but everybody had to rest content with the news contained in the three words, “Atlan ta has fallen." Officers could be seen in clus ters around their tents, discussing the long looked for event, and numberless were the speculations, surmises and opinions as to the ultimate success of the victory. “ Will Hood take up a position south of Atlanta, and there await a further advance of Sher man’s foroes, or will he, as the only recom pence for the lobs sustained, come pell mell to Gen. Lee, and joiningforces, thunder against Grant’s lines V ’ “Will not Sherman rapidly pursue the discomfitted enemy, and cut him to pieces in detail ?” “ Will the town be burned in retaliation for Chambers burg ?” “ Did Hood get off any, or all of the valuable stores known to be there ?” Such were among the numerous remarks made among officers, and others, while among the “ boys," “ bully for Sherman" was repeated almost as often as there are voices in the army to utter the words with. The soldier’s hard couch was made a bed of roses last night by the simple words “At lanta has fallen." The siege of Petersburg has been abandon ed, and the movements in that quarter are directed on our side to the destruction, if possible, of the enemy’s communications. That such is the case is apparent from the fact that the fronts of both armies have been changed from North and South to East and West. Lee’s head-quarters are ijo ionger_iti_ Petersburg, but have been moved down on the Vaughan road, opposite our left. The jftebel army is now posted with a direct view to the best defense of its remaining commu jtioations, and'its concentration on our left is thus accounted' for. On the evening of the 9th instant a bat tery stationed on the Jerusalem road had quite a severe interchange of compliments. The Rebels sent us the day before a Whit worth shot weighing thirteen pounds, beau tifully polished' and steel pointed. It landed in close proximity to the Union quarters, vfter a journey of nearly two miles. Contra bands coming into our lmesreportthat trains ire running oh the Weldon road as far as Stony Creek, whence thesupplies are-wagon id to Petersburg via Dinwiddle Court House. They also report that all the corn in that county is being pressed by Confederate offi cers. There was a little fight at the Davis Houbo on the morning of the Bth. A party of Rebels attacked our forces at the house, which contained some twenty or thirty men. Three or four Rebels were killed, but our men were all captured, except eight. Our forces subsequently drove the Rebels and regained possession of the house. On the 10th at midnight, near Jerusalem, our forces charged the Rebel pickets, surprised them and captured nearly the entire line. The enemy made-every effort to regain their position, hut were unsuccessful. We captur ed about one hundred prisoners. The sur prise was effected by the Twentieth Indiana and Ninety-ninth Pennsylvania. A portion of the latter regiment advanced too far, and a few of them were captured. These two regiments made the attack under command of Lieutenant Colonel George W. Micbel, who was shot through the hips, and died on the field. Our casualties amount to about 30. The prisoners captured say they were asleep at the time, and that our men were on them before they had time to resist. THE MIDDLE MILITARY DIVISION. Notwithstanding the numerous reports of movements in the Shenandoah Valley, there has really been no material change in the position of affairs there. Generals Sheridan and Early seem to be watching each other as closely as possible, each one intent on taking the first favorablefopportunity to at tack his antagonist, Whatever may be the purpose of theprqsence of Early's force in the Valley, |hgEaSraotseem to have gained any great advantage so far. Moseby, '"toe' gutehriila, has been roving through the country with a small band of guerrillas, attacking portions of our forces, always being careful to ascertain lhathe has a superior force. On theiith. inst. he cap tured an unprotected anabttlance train on its way from iHarper’s. had delivered itsdjbad of our 4 wOunde'd, and was again og its, rray; to ,the front. Gen. Steven sonV bearing of pseby’s. whereabouts or dered Captsihi Blazer;' with' one hundred picked nien, tp proceed in search of Moseby, and endeavor to' recapture our lost property. He met the enemy, two hundred strong, and after a gallant contest, succeeded in retaking forty horses and abggMve.bf .Hdseby’s fol-; lowers; Onjhe a battalion of the; Cavalry had a skirmish with a^^B^rGeprgia‘Cavalry near Snicker’s Gap. of the Gap was;'warmly, contested and the Rebels were compelled to retire, leaving a Captain; a Lieutenant and three privates dead hr pur hands. Also a number of horses. On the morning of the 3d instant Early retreated towards'’ Winches ter, with Gen. Averili at his heels. Gen. AveriH's despatch to Major-General Kelly Bays ho had whipped Vaughan's Cavalry, captured all his tram, which w&b not burned, and taken two battle flags. He had also cut oft' I tnboden. The enemy’s movement on the 2d indi cated an intention to cross the Potomac into Maryland, but it was discomfited by Gen. Averiil - On the Uth inst. Gen. Wilson’s cavalry made a reconnoisance along the Strasburg pike within three miles Winchester, where they unexpectedly encountered Kershaw's Division of Rebel infantry, who in a measure stampeded. They rallied, however, and made a stand, but General Wilson, having accomplished the object of his mission, withdrew. A reconnoitering party from the Tenth Corps, sent out from Berryville, on the Winchester pike, proceeded as far as the Opequan, without finding the enemy. Colonel Lowell, of the Second Mass. Cavalry, on Friday the 10th inst., destroyed several flour mills on the Opequan, which the rebels have been using for grinding meal. He also captured a Rebel Lieutenant and twenty of his men. GENERAL SHERMAN’S ARMY. Advices from Sherman continue to be re ceived confirming his complete possession of Atlanta, but there is little news of further miliatry movements in that quarter. The gallant army which has fought its way from the Chattahoochee to the Rebel stronghold needs a little-rest. Fresh reinforcements have reached Sherman, and with these and part of his veterans he continues to pursue the retreating Rebels. The country may rest assured that he will allow no opportunity to damage the rebellion to go unimproved. In answer to a request that Major General Sherman would give details of his late ope rations before Atlanta, in order to silence the cavils of those who, in absence of par ticulars, were denying that those operations were on the whole a Federal success, we have the following: Atlanta, Sept. 7th, 1864.— 0 n the 25th of August, pursuant to a plan of which the War Department had been fully advised, I left the Twentieth Corps at the Chattahoo chee bridge, and with the balance of the army I drew off from, the siege and using some considerable artifice to mislead the enemy, I moved rapidly south and reached the West Point Railroad, near Fairburn, on the 27th, and broke up' twelve miles of it. when moving east my right approached the Macon Railroad near Jonesboro and my left near Rough and Ready. The enemy attacked the right wing of the army of the Tennessee and was com pletely beaten, on the Ist, and daring the combat I pushed the left of the centre rapidly on the railroad above and between Rough and Ready and Jonesboro’. On the Ist of September we broke up about eight miles of the Macon road and turned on the enemy at Jonesboro’, assault ed him and .his lines, and carried them, capturing Brigadier General Gorman and about two .taHsand prisoners, with eight guns and mucnplunder. Night alone - prevented our capturing all of Hardee’s Corps, which escaped south that night. The same night, Hood, in Atlanta, find ing all his railroads broken and in our pos session, blew up his amunition, 7 locomo tives and 80 cars, and evacuated Atlanta, which, on the next day, Sept. 2d, was occu pied by the corps left for that purpose, Major General Slocum commanding, we following the retreat of the rebel army to near Lovejoy’s Station, thirty miles south of Atlanta, where, finding it would not pay to asßault, aB we had already the great ob ject of the campaign, via : Atlanta, the army gradually and leisurely returned toAtlanto, and it is now enoamped eight miles south of the city, and to-morrow will move to the camps appointed. I am now writing in Atlanta, so I could not be uneasy in regard to our position. We have as the result of this quick, and, as I think well executed movement, twenty-sev en guns, over three thousand prisoners, and have buried over four hundred rebel dead, and left as many wounded who could not be removed. The rebels have lost, besides the import ant city of Atlanta, stores, at least 500 dead, 2500 wounded, and 3000 prisoners, whereas our aggregate loss will not foot up 1500. < If that is not success, I don’t know what is. (Signed) Wm. T. Sherman, Maj. Gen. A dispatch dated at Nashville on the sth inst. states that the enemy’s loss in killed and wounded is 3000, besides 2000 prison ers, and a large amount of material! Our army is in full possession of Atlanta. The reb els nave adopted desperate measures to rein force Hood. Besides conscripting every-' body, they have put into the ranks all the unarmed employees including even hospital stewards. To supply the places of the latter women have been conscripted, and every house Jin Macon has had a certain number of sick and wounded billeted upon it. On the 2d inst. James M. Calhoun, Mayor of Atlanta, made a formal surrender of the city, asking protection for non-combatants and private property, which was of course freely granted. The Stars and Stripes were hoisted upon the Court House amid a peal of cheers from the Union troops. “ Yankee Doodle came to town” followed, and thus was consummated the capture of this im portant point. It is believed in military circles that Hood has retreated to Macon by way of the Augusta road; that his aim is to throw a force by the way of that road to Macon, and then advance to meet Sherman. The latest official war news is contained in a despatch from Secretary Stanton, dated the 10th inst., in which he says the:Department has received despatches from General Sher man down to 10 o’clock yesterday morning. His army is concentrated at Atlanta. On the 7th inst. Hood telegraphed the Rich mond authorities that he had driven Sher man from Jonesboro’, and captured the hospital, containing ninety Confederate troops. Sherman has re-established communica tion, and the repairs of the Alabama and Tennessee railroad will soon be completed. Wheeler, in the aggregate, has destroyed only six miles of track. Two hundred and forty car loads of subsistence were received in Atlanta on the 9th. Defeat of the Rebels in Tennessee, On the 6th instant a rebel force of 1300 men was encountered by the Ninth Penn sylvania cavalry, near Readyville.on Cripple Creek, Tenn. Gen. Rousseau has received the following dispatch of the result : Col. Thomas Jorden, Ninth Pennsylvania'Cav alry, with 230 men, surprised,'attacked and routed the rebel Dubrell s brigade of 2000 : men, at Ready viUe, on the 7th, killing and wounding many and capturing 130 prisoners.; Our loss was one killed five wounded and four missing. The railroad is torn up at Buck.lB f but the datna,g6 done is tri fling. The bridge over Stewart’s Creek, the only one injured by Wheeler, is rebuilt. H. P. Van Clbye, Brigadier Gen. ADMIRAL FARRAGUT’S OPERATIONS ! NevroffrOth Farragut’s squadron, bring par ticulars of the destruction of the Rebel gun boat Nashville, lying in the harbor, just below the city, by Captain Jouett, of the United States steamer Metacomet. The expedition PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 15, 1864. proceeded at night in boats, provided with one hundred pounds of powder, nine inch shells, oil, turpentine, faggots, fire balls &c. These combustibles were deposited in six of tht forward casemates and set on fire, com pletely destroying them. The vessels was subsequently sunk. During the operations in the bay Admiral Farragut’s loss in killed and wounded amounting to 330 men, we taking about 1800 prisoners, two of the ene my's best vessels and three forts, with 100 guns and all their material. It is reported by the correspondent of a prominent New York daily that Mobile has fallen, but the report is not generally credited. The des patch says:—“ The news is said to have been received from Rebel deserters, who assert that Dog River bar was passed by the entire fleet of Admiral FarFagut, and that, after a brief shelling, the city surrendered, the troops having withdrawn into the interior. This, statement may be correct. Itis well known that Admiral Farragut’s appliances for re moving the obstructions in the channel to Dog River bar were, ample, and that the torpedoes could be removed with the great est facility. Then the channel would be perfectly cleared, and an uninterrupted pas sagq given the fleet close up to the city." Defeat and Death of the Rebel Guerrilla, John Morgan. Brigadier General Gillem has done the country a great service in destroying one of the most unscrupulous and successful of the rebel guerril'a chiefs. On the 4th inst., John Morgan with a considerable force of guerillas was surprssed at Greenville, Tennessee, a small town about 65 miles northeast of Knoxville. Morgan himself was killed. General Gillem telegraphs General Tilleson from Bull's Gap, Tenn,, as follows: I sur prised, defeated and killed John Morgan at Greenville this morning. The killed are scattered four miles and have not yet been counted, and probably number fifty or one hundred. I have about seventy prisoners. Among those captured were Morgan’s staff, mth one njece of artillery and a caisson! the enemy’s force outnumbered mine, but the surprise was complete. . Morgan was a native of Kentucky. Be fore the war he was: a negro trader, gambler and libertine. Since then he has been a thief, murderer and general In his raid through Indiana and Ohio iif the summer of 1863, he was captured and lodged in the Ohio penitentiary. , Capture of Another Guerrilla Chief. The Guerrilla Chiefs are becoming unfor tunate. John Morgan is dead, and Quantrell, one of the moßt cruel of his class has also come to grief. A despatch from Indian apolis to the Gazette announces the capture there of Quantrell, the Missouri guerilla, He was recognized on the street by a refugee. Quantrell will be remembered as the wretch who burned Leavenworth, Kansas, and butchered its inhabitants. --He deserves to suffer the extreme penality of the law. It is so seldom that the Lieutenant Gen. eral of the armies of the United States gives his opinions to the public, that when he does speak or write anything it is certain to command attention. We take great pleasure in laying before our readers the following cheerful letter from Gen. Grant to the Hon. E. B. Washburne. It gives not only an en couraging view of the military situation, but is a most effective argument for a vigorous prosecution'of the war,' and file re-election"of the present Administration, which is alone pledged to such a course. No higher author ity in military matters can be consulted, and when such a clear statement is made of our good prospects, should not one more uprising of the North take place? Head-quarters Armies op the United States, Citt Point, Va., Aug. 16, 1864.—T0 Hon. E. B. Washburne. —Dear Sir l state to all citizens who visit me that all we want now to insure an early restoration of the Union is a determined unity of sentiment North. The rebels have now in their ranks their last man. The little boys and old men are guarding prisoners, guarding bridges, and forming a gobd part of their garrisons, for intrenched positions. A man* lost by them cannot be replaced. They have robbed the cradle’and the grave equally to get their present force. Besides what they lose in frequent skirmishes and battles, they are now losing from .desertions and other causes at least one regiment per day. With this drain upon them, the end is. not far distant; if we will' be only true to bur selves. Their only hope now is in a divided North. This might give them reinforcements from Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland. sthd Missouri, while it would weaken us. With the draft quickly enforced, the enemy would become despondent, and would make but little resistance. I have no doubt but the enemy are exceedingly anxious to hold out until after the Presidential election. They have many hopes from its effects. They hope a counter revolution; they hope the election of the Peace candidate. In fact, like “ Micawber,” they hope for something to “turnup." Our Peace friends, if they expect peace from separation, are much mistaken. It would be but the begin ning of war, \vith|thousands of Northern men joining the South because of our disgrace in allowing the separation. To have “ peace on any terms” the South would demand the restoration of their slaves already freed; they would demand indemnity for losses sustained, and they would demand a treaty which would make the North slave-hunters for the South. They would demand pay or the restoration of every slave escaping to the North; Yours truly, Gen. McClellan’s Letter of Acceptance. 1 The candidate of the Chicago Convention has issued his letter of acceptance. We have neither the room nor the disposition to lay it before our readers. As there has been a very general expectancy, However; to know what he would do under the circumstances, we give the substance of the letter:— He starts’’out with the assertion that the nomination was entirely unsought, which every body knows to. be false. He then, proceeds, to disclose. his' love for the Union, " the Constitution and' the flag, and takes occasion to adopt as his own the cry raised by the Copperheads that the-war has not been conducted according to the, Constitution. While he. professes to be in favor of the war, he shows the same anxiety for an armistice that he did at Antietam, when he allowed Lee an armistice of twenty four-hours in order that he might get away with his army, and the victory there won be effectually lost to the country., In the face; -of his past history McClellan cannot for very shame openly avow himself in favor, of •peace on any .terms, and so, after showing that he is ready and willing to receive the rebels back whenever they' are ready' to come, he says: “I could not look in the face of my gallant comrades of the army and navy, who have survived so many bloody MISCELLANEOUS, Gen- Grant on the Situation- battles, and tell them that their labors and the sacrifice of so many of our slain and wounded brethren had been in vain—that we had abandoned that Union for which we have so often periled our lives.” He closes his letter by telling the country that in case he is elected, he will, without delay, proceed to “ establish the supremacy of law,” which, we presume, he considers destroyed from the fact that after he and others had richly merited condign punish ment at the hands of the government, they were not only allowed to go unwhipped of justice; but held on to the positions which they had disgraced. He promises a return to “ a sound financial system” and does not forget to bring in the “ rights of citizens and the states.” We think he “doth protest too much,” and what is worse, we fear he will never have an opportunity to redeem his promises. Any man, however, who can stand upon the Chicago platform and yet be loyal to the government of the United States, need not hesitate at trying anything else. As was anticipated by many thinking men, the letter of acceptance of_ Gen. McClellan has not met. the approbation of the various factions of the Democratic party. Vallan digham has already refused to speak for him. The Woods, through their organ the Daily News, attacks him as bitterly as any of the Republican journals. They call loudly for the reassembling of the Convention and the nomination'of a candidate to represent the “ peace” wing of the party. The Metropoli tan Becord and other Roman Catholic jour nals are also out against McClellan. A split in the party is almost certain, as the war becomes more bitter daily. “Little Mac” will have to execute one of his masterly “ strategic movements,” or make a serious “ change of base” if he expects to succeed. In themeantimetheNationalUnion party are making vigorous efforts to stir the people up, and everywhere the cause looks success ful. A monstrous meeting was held in this city on Saturday evening the 10th. Not less than ten thousand persons were present. The most promiminent'feature of the meet ing was the presence and speech of Hon. John Cessna, who, up to the time of the publication of the Chicago Platform, was a leading Democrat in the State. He could not swallow the platform and left the party. He will bring a large number of honest Democrats with him. On Tuesday, the 6th inst., the citizens of Vermont held their regular annual election for Governor, Congressmen, and State Offi cers. At this writing the full returns have not yet been received, but so far they indi cate the election of the Union candidates by a very large majority. Thus the States are beginning to wheel into line, and the indica tions are that each one will give a verdict against the peace-at-any-price party. The Election in Maine. A general election, for Governor and state officers was held in the State of Maine, on the 12th inst. The returns are not all in, but as far as heard from the State hasgiven a large majority for the National Union ticket. Ninety-five towns give Cony, the Republican Candidate for Governor, a majority of 9168. This vote includes a little over four-tenths of the State. I The speculation in gold seems to have cul minated, and now a reaction has set in, which promises to bring the quotations down, far below 200. Various reasons are assigned for tins result, but the cheering prospects of the success of the National cause is no doubt the chief cause. Gold is quoted this (Tues day) morning at 220.' This is. a fall of about 35 per cent, m alittle~over a week, and the tendency is still downward. The Reinforcement ,of our Armies. Up to this writing there has been no order issued for the draft to take place, to fill the deficiency under the President’s late call for 500,000 men. Intelligence from all parts of the Loyal North shows that the spirit of the people is once more aroused, and recruiting is'as-brisk in some places as who-i the news flashed over the country of the attack on Sumpter. Secretary Seward in a speech de livered lately at his home in Auburn, N. Y., s^id: —“ We shall have do draft, because the atmy is being reinforced at the rate of five to ten thousand men-per day by volunteer ing-” A special despatch to the . Cincinnati Commercial, dated Washington, the Bth inst. states that from the first of September up to' that date thirty thousand men had been mustered into the service and forwarded to various parts of the grand army of the Re public. There is no hope held out in this for Jeff.; Davis and Co, The Secretary of War has .announced that a draft will positively take. place in all districts which have failed to raise their quota. This is simply just, he-- cause there are Copperhead districts where no efforts have been made, and none will be made if it can be avoided. Let the loyal people everywhere continue their exertions m the good work, until our noble armies are filled with fresh men, whose stout hearts and strong arms will give the finishing blow to the slaveholders’ rebellion.

D., Editor of the Em dopccdia of Religious Knowledge: Although not disposed to fovor or recommend Pat* Medicines in general, through distrust of their ing| dients and effects; I jet know of;no sufficientreasi why a man may not testify to the benefit he betta himself to have received from any simple preparati in the hope tliat he may thus contribute to the bent of others. I do this more readily in regard to HooflancTs German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. Jn. Jackson, of this city, because I wasprejudiced against them for many years, under the impression that they were chiefly an alco holic mixture. 1 am indebted to my friend, Robert Shoemaker, Esq., for the removal of this prejudice by propen teats, and for encouragement to try them, when Buffering,from great and long continued debility. The use olfcphree bottles of these Bitters, at'tha beginning of the present year, was followed by evident relief and restoration to a degree of bodily ana mental vigor which I had not felt for six months before, an 4 had almost despaired of regaining. I therefore thank God and my friend for directing me to the use of them, 23,1861. J. NEWTON BROWN. From Rev. J. M. Lyons, formerly Pastor of the Columbus (N J.) and MiUswwn (Pa.) Baptist Churches.
