I H1U IAI.L OK ATLANTA.
After fix week' command of thCjArmy ol"
ineer, Oonoral Hood abandoned Atlanta on
'Thursday nlglit, tho 1st Instant. An olH'ial
-patch received from him on Saturday nlr;ht,
le osscntiul portions of which wo give below,
plains all Hint ia yet known of the all'tir;
r'UKAnqrAMFRR, Septembers, lsti;i. On tho

tlgmcnt across Flint river, near Joncst'ioro. Wo
t.ioheil them there on tUo evening of tho 3 1. hi
i t ii two corps, hut fulled to dislodge them.
"This maiie it necessary to abandon Atl mta,
r-iich was done On the night of the 1st of Sep
inhcr. "Our los on the evening of the 31st was small.
r"On the evening of the 1st of iSentemlisr (Jonc
l Hardee's corps, in position at Joneslioro, wus
isaulted by a supuilor force of tho enemy, and
:ing ontflnnked, was compelled to withdraw
uriug the night, with the Ions of eight gum.
"The enemy's pi Isotiers report their loss very
ivere. J. 1). lloou, General."
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.

'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. But
the confidence either of country or army will
scarcely survive the continuance of Hood in

on our right, driving them across the Flint rlvor
towards Jonesboro. Ha.en's Division of the loth

was on the way to the enemy's position. Tho
other divisions formed on his right nnd left. Tho

The next morning, the 1st of Septomber, tho
14th Corps, under General Davis, mtircued along
the Macon line, destroying tho track for several
miles, and about 4 o'clock took up position on
the left of the lith Corps, wbicu had now formed
in line of battle.
The enemy had intrenched themselves in front
of the 14th Corps', which was ordered to assault
them. Cavalry and Infamy steadily advanced
under a surging tiro of musketry and artillery,
nnd, utter a most desperate contiict of two hours
duration, succeeded in driving the enemy from
their works, capturing two batteries uncLoomis'
celebrated batery, taken fromusatChickamuuga,
of live guns and another of four guns, some
buttle Hags, ami a largo number of prisoners.
They ulso took General Gaven, and his Adjutant

that an Arkansas brigado wai captured with
Guven. This swclU our list of prisoners to near

THE CONTKSJT ON TUB ItKillT.
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! Corps moved noiselessly away, with
the intention of forming a junction with
Steward's Corps, which bad rein.iiaed In Atlanta,
besides the six thousand militia Hood had sta
tioned at Atlanta to watch Herman's move
ments, which seemed to confound him. Tho
command in tho Held, therefore, devolved on
Hardee, who retired along the M icon railroad.
EVACl'ATION OP ATLANTA.
Hood, finding his situati ju desperate In At
lanta, also retreated, first burning up nearly ouo
thousand bales of cotton, and ei-'aty-sW wagons
laden with unimunltion, cliielly cartridges and
canister.

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.

The aliove offloers, and Co'oi.el Cobnrn, com

Geary's Divisiou, which had entered the town
simultaneously with Ward's, hoisted the Stars

was consummated the fall of Atlanta, the back

General Slocum arrived soon after aud took
formal possession of the town. Some Rebel
Government property, four engines, aud fourteen
pieces of artillery, chiefly sixty-four pounders,
which tho Uebels had to abandon, fell iuto our
hands. The town is much injured. MoU of tho
inhabitants have left.
HOOD OUTWITTED.
We have files of Rebel papers, from which it is
evident Hood was completely Iguorant of the
drift of Sherman's movements, bhermau's move
ments were compactly made with his whole
army, with fifteen days' supplies with the ex
ception oi the 20tb Corps, which had fallen back
to the rear on parallel roads, aud passing around
the left Hank of the enemy, crossing the Mont

were good and weather favorable, evorvthuj
combining to facilitate our success.

Lovejoy'e Station, Georgia, is represented as a

to meet biiermun, who meantime can wake a

can muster a sutllcloiit force to oppose him suc

W siiino ton, September H. 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.

u AC, September 6, Evening. 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. W. V. McGbhoor

1. 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.
