After fix week' command of thCjArmy ol" ineer, Oonoral Hood abandoned Atlanta on 'Thursday nlglit, tho 1st Instant.

From the above despatch, It appears that the rmy of Tennessee is on the Macon railroad, imewhere south of Jonesboro, probably at Lovc j H station. Jonosboro is twenty-two miles mth of Atlanta j Lovcjoy's twenty-nine. From ovejoj'a to Macon tho distance by tho Macon ad is seventy-four miles. Though this despatch was not made public till csterday morning, the facts set forth In It were ic street talk so long ago as Friday morning. ; wm tben also reported that Hood's army had en cut in two. From tho despatch It is clear lat this was at one time the case. When "on le evening of the fir.-t of September Gcnoral lardee's corps, In position at Joncshoro, twenty. (O miles south of Atlanta, was assaulted by a iperior force of toe enemy" and "outflanked," te enemy pushed in between him and Hood at .tlanta, nnd that night Hood, by striking across 1 country In a southeasterly direction, managed ) rejoin him on the railroad south of Jonesboro. How it was that, after attacking tho enemy with two corps," near Jonosboro, on Wed esday evening, only Hardoo's Corps was at Dnceboro, Thursday evening, to resist the assault f the enemy, can only be accounted fur by sup osing that, after our attack had failod to dis- Klge the enemy, Hood withdrew one of lem (8. D. Lcc'b) to Atlanta, leaving Hardro to ear the brnnt alone. This ho would hardly h ive one had be not miscalculated the enomy's dc gns. Ho must have believed the main body of herman's army to have been in front of Atlanta, hen In fact it was on Flint rlvor, near Jones oro, twenty-odd miles to tho South. As to the losses incurred on either side, Gone si Hood tells ns only that "our loss on the even lg of the 31st (when we attacked) was sm ill,' nd that "the enemy's prisoners report their loss ery severe." Ho does nut inform us whether or loss in men was great or small when, on tho veniug of the 1st, Hardee, "lieingoutilankod, rat compelled to withdraw during tho night, dth the loss of eight guns." We feel protty sure nr loss on this occasion was not small. This abandonment of Atlanta, under the clr omstanccs, is not a good thing, but, so far from eing dispirited by it, our people ought reve ently to thank Go J that it is no worse. There re many persons who have had a great weight f anxiety raised from their souls by this news, 'bey have been tearing for the lust mouth, not nly that Atlanta would bo baundoned, but that nine great and irretrievable disaster would over ate the Army of Tennessee. Atlanta Is gone, ut the army Is s' ill a nnlt and is safe. Tho loss f Atlanta is nothing ; the loss of the army would iave Leen without a remedy. EDITORIAL COMMKVTH ON THK NEWS. 'rem tht hU-hihond Examiner, Septemherb. So much for tho third removal of General ohnston. First, he was virtually removed by omg deprived of power to diroct his lieutenant, 'eiuberton ; and the. cost of that gratification to be feelings of Mr. Davis, was tho arm v of Vieks iurg. Next he was superseded by Bragg and ne organization oi ine soeouu army was ao troved at Missionary Ridge. Thirdly, atter restoring it, ho was removed at he very moment when his knowledge, skill, and nergy were iiutispensaiue tu tuo success and ven the safety of the campaign j superseded by lood, a commander of division, notoriously in- apab of nmiiaging anythiug larger than a divi ikm. The result is disaster at Atlanta, la tu! rcry nick of time when suc h a victory alone iuld lave the party of Lincoln from irrotrtcva- ile ruin. Central Johnston is thought over-cautious ; toj vtirent about his plans j disposed to be mys crious us to approaching event. He was rc noved became ''ha did not pcuk with entire outnleiice about boldiug Atlanta." 11 at results rove that, if he was cautious in movement an 1 :hary of promises, it was for good reasons. It is svident thiit, in ecu case, ho knaw whero he wus, what muti r:ul ho had In hand, and the bust use to make of it. Wha evcr else nrnv i e s.ild, It cannot be sai l hat he tver h stan army or any considerable body of iroons, or incurred any disaster, or even Jisiidvantage, that obscured oiir prospects lor a moment. If any man has been fo great a fool as to question either his military capacity, bis courage, or his earnest patriotism, certainly these ovents vindicate him, liut, alas, of what intorot is that ? of what importance is that ? of wha- con sideration is a single reputation, if the country must be lost to justify it) Who cares now wlie tber Johnston was right, or Jell'. Davis was right ? Yet we must think of these thiugs, for these are the eauses which produce the ellocts. It is maniiestly absurd to put np and poll down a toiniuanucr in the field according to the crude Sitws or jaievish fancies of a functionary in Rich mond, (inch conduct of government would paralyze the greatest military genius, rain the oldest army, and reuder success in war absolutely impossible. Bow, is it not lard Is it not cruelly hard that the struggle of eight millions, who sacrifice their money, sacrifloe their lives, who groan in the excess of exertion, who wrench every muscle till the blood starts with the swuut should come to naught should end in the ruin of us all tha. the predilections and antipathies, the pitiful per sxmal feelings of a single man may be indulged ? With the scanty information at baud it is im possible to estimate the late atl'air In Georgia. It ia certain that Atlanta has keen abandoned by ourtroopa. Wa do not know whether the gans were left or not. The loss of the place is other wise without material importance. As a military pofct it hud no value whatever. It was once iuv portant as the junotion of railroads, but had ceased to be so since the railroads to the north were lost. Sherman could not hold it a week if the Confederate araiy in the udguborhuod was in iiroper hands. But the moral effect of Hs loss, though it may be temporary, will be great. It will render in calculable assistance to the party of Lincoln and obscure the prospect of peace, late so bright. It may enable him to execute the draft. It will also ditfuse gloom over the South. This depres sion, however, may be speedily relieved it the administration has a grain of real sense or a spark of uuteluth patriotism. The reinstatement of Johnston or the appoint ment of Ueauregard would at once restore the ooolldenee of the country and the army aud the genius of either would soon prove eShennau't ad vantage to be an illusion and an almrtion.

The enemy had intrenched themselves in front of the 14th Corps', which was ordered to assault them.

While the 14th Corps was thus nobly and fiercely engaged, the Anny of Tennessee und t'h Corps, Geueral Stanley, were vigorously pressing the enemy on the right, und eaily In tho night Lee's Hebe!

Tho command in tho Held, therefore, devolved on Hardee, who retired along the M icon railroad. EVACl'ATION OP ATLANTA.

At the break of day, when Sherman found the enemy hnd retreated, he put his whole iirmy in motion, and followed in hot pursuit, his object being to get between Hood aud Hardee, aui thus cut oil both parties. Although be may not succeed in this, as thoy had an all night start, he will certainly ha ass their reir, cutting oil and cap in ing large na-n-livrs. The defeat had a most p iraly.ing crt'oct on Hood's urmy, for soldiers and militia are breaking for home on all sides. We be ird the roar of ex ploding ammunition at Atlanta and Jonesboro.

A good deal of mystery ttill cnve!oH's the military opoiati ns at Atlanta. Wc had been led to believe that U . nc ril Sherman, by milking a great detour and striking Jonesboro' on tho M.icoti road, had put lilm-clf south of Hood's force, nnd cut him illficmhis line of retreat ; but from tho latest minimis it appears that Hood has managed to wbl. k his army south of Bhcrnun, who is n w making, at considerable dlsfance.a'purMuit which, Judging from pu-t experience, is not likoly to be fruitful in any great results. Gineral Sherman's chief aim will d mbtlcss now, lor some months, be limited to Intrenching himself strongly In At'anta, and forming there a secure base for further operation', Just ns Gene ral Grunt did ut Chattanooga. This, however, will not prevent him from send ing cait powciful raiding parties to destroy the enemy's communications, depots of supplies, and luamifuctorits. The situation in Virginia is cheering. General Grant is directing liU main energies to the inoro tflective work of opiating on tho enemy's com munications with the Southern country. His hold on the Wcldon road Is firm and fast. This obliges Leu to wagon his supplies from Sapiamy creek, sta' ion, by the Vauglmn road, a distance of twenty-live miles, to the camps near l'ttcrsbuif. It is believed that if wc could ex tend our left to the Weldon road (ami the reinforcements Get oral Grant is dally receiving will soon enable him to do jo), it would so effec tually embarrass thcKcbels as to make their posi tion untenable even with their possession of any other roads. A few more men arc aT General Grant nocds to make a sine thing of Richmond and Leo's army. In the valley, General Sheridan continues his important rult of keeping the Rebel column awny from Grant's front, while he at the same time covers Maiylaud, Pennsylvania, and Wash ington, thus leaving General Grant froe to ope rato unembarrassed by any other considerations than the great problem Immediately before him. This bright picture curries grief to the hearts of I lie Copperheads, whose hopes now rest on the 111 success of our armies, and whose prospects of ejecting their l'rcsident become certain only in proportion as it becomes certain that wc shall l ave no country at all.

To-day quiet has reigned along tho line, excepting an occasional gun from the centra of our line. : Ruin has been falling all day, and still con tinues, with a cold wind blowing. Rumors linvo been prevalent for two days past, that u part of Early's troops had arrived iu our front, and wero massing on our left flank necessitating another struggle for tho posscssiou of the Wcldon railroad. Preparations were mudo to receive them, but thus fur, with tho exception of a few guerillas, no cntmy has appeared in Unit direction. Last evening tho enemy in front of our line, where it crosses the Jerusalem road, were very jubilant for a time, indulging in loud cheering, which extended along the lino to tho rlgut to wards the Appomattox. Our pickets bailed thoirs, and asked the cause of tho commotion, and the answer came "At lunta bus been retaken by Hood." i Notwithstanding the improbability of the story It rapidly gained circulation, and caused some depression for a time. Hut soon after, a deserter eame in and reported that one of their men had tied a canteen to a dog's-tail, aud started him through their linos, thinking thus to frighten our men ; but the dog kept on his own sido, and his frightened cries, as he sped along, caused the Rebels to cher und halloo so loud. Thus the biatter wus explained. i Yesterday a party of colored recruits arrived here, and on their way to their regiments, got rather nearer to the front than they had calcu lated. Iu passing along an open space near l'ort Warren, the enemy obtained a view of them, aud threw ft shell or two in their midst. Such a scattering was really ludicrous. Aban doning their guns, knapsacks, &c, they lied towards the fort, In front of which is a ditch six or seven feet wide, and us many deep, with seve ral inches of wuter and mud. Iuto this they piled one on top of another, evi dently thinking they would lie safo there ; while the men iu the fort marched out and reaped iiuite a harvest of kuaptacks, &c, which lay ou the road. Tho officer in charge of the party seems to h ive first reached the trench and endeavored tu pre vent tho men from following him, ordering them " to rully." When asked what he was doing there, he said he had not been under fire for some months, and was rather nervous at hits close proximity to the enemy. Consldeiable effort was required to extricate the soldiers from their somewhat unpleasant position, after which they left to join their com mands. It is to bo hoped that if they are ever charged by the enemy they wUl profit by Uie lesson they received yesterday, and not run Into a trap In which the Rebels would like to catch them, aud where a dozen could keep a thousand without auy fear of escaping.

A crowd soon gathind around l)oiig!ns, and preently a pis'ol was disi hargod, the hall taking etlcct upon the right sido ut Mr. Shhr, pa-sing through and lodging in the hack.

The streets of tho city of Philadelphia are in much better condition, so far as cleanliness is con cerned than they have becu for a number of years I tist. The present plan for removing dirt and ashes by the creation of a separate department for that purpose works well, although there are many reforms that might bo made, and which would prove highly advantageous. The uow de partment bus been in operation since tho 1st of March, 1HDI, ami is under the control of Mahloa H. Dickinson, Chief Inspector of Streets. Since the organisation of tho now department, March 1, up to September 1, there wero removed Irom the several districts of the city, .VI, ..It louls of dirt, and 44, ;14 loads of ashes. During the same period the sum of SJ-,4.H-6H was paid out for labor, nnd a'J,-i-oM for carting purpo-es. Up to the 1st of July the sum of ,403 0 was rcall nl from tho sale of dirt anJ nshes, an item which tho city never before reaped any bene At from. The greater part of this money was expended during the first few months of the inauguration ol the new system. The streets wero very filthy at that time, and required an immense number of mm and carts to assi-t in the work. At the present itay only about 11-" laborers and 73cirters arc employed, making the average weekly ex p ndiiure for cleansing tho streets JHT7, and for tinting 91240. It is an easy matter when the streets are once clean to keep them clean, anil at a eomparatiV! ly small cost too. The laborers are paid l'M.r per day; inlet men $! 30 per day; and carters $'l CO per day. If the ordinance Imposing a penalty npon those who throw garbage and other 01th into the streets was more strictly en forced, our city could bo more easily kept clean, and at one half the cost.
