Hardly has the melancholy Interest in the battle of ronosaw died away, when, even while the eximberant copperheads were anx iously looking for tidings of Sherman's army being in jeopardy there, comes the news that Sherman has accomplished by strategy pre cisely what he had failed to do by fighting. This was managed by a march southward by the right flank, rendered practicable by our capture of Pine mountain. ThisplacedSoho fled and Hooker on the left dank of John ston's army, at right angles to the rebel line on KIMOSILW, and had not Johnston at once retired, Sherman would have cut off his re treat, and forced him to turn southward and fight his way through to Atlanta. In other words, this movement of Sherman woe for the purpose of getting between Johnston sad Atlanta. Immediately, upon this Johnston veered around with his army, and instead of feting north along the crest of SelleSlW, he formed his line running north and south to confront Sherman's new line. Still,. however, .1 obo el iton occupies a range of heights covering larietta, but . west of and parallel to the railroad. It was probably owing to this fact of their having lost the railroad that they, on the lid,.assumed the offensive. and attacked Sherman in the hope of driving our forces back, but In this they were repulsed, and lost three hundred men killed. In ahis position It was supposed that a se vere battle would occur, as the rebel army wee too closely pressed to be able to get away safely beyond the river, and the report of heavy Or ng having occurred on the nth, 26th and 27th, and largo numbers of wounded being sent to the roar. We shill probably receive the accounts of this battle in a day or two, with :the results of it. The contest for the possession of Atlanta is no► raging fiercely, and the next march will take the armies to the Chattahooohie or across it, and on to the rebel stronghold iteelf. Meanwhile,Sberinen'e Kogrese seems to be one of continued enc omia Since the Aire was written we have re- ceired news that Sherman's movements have not only forced the rebels to- abandon Ken tom, but Marlette also, both of which were immediately oecupled by our troop.

Armory• Sruitortun, Mess., Suly 2 —A fire broke out at 834 o'clock this et'enteg, in the attie of the milling shop of the United States Armory, situated upon Armory Square, in this city. This building, which is 200 feet long, with an addition of 100 feet in length and -two ;tortes high,was entirely dortgoyed, together with its contents. Tho upper story was used as a polishing shop, and the lower story for milling, trim. ming, tempering, Are. This building was built about fifty years ago, and btu been in constant use In the manufacture of muskets during that time. Tne woodwork was so thoroughly mature ted with oil that when on lire it was impossi hie to subdue the flames. At one time it seemed impossible to save any part cf the work situated upon the north of the (quire, and many of the shops were cleared of their machinery, tools and stock. The fire was, however,' stopped at ton O'clock, at the brick partition which separated this building from the one directly east of it, and which also con tained extensive wings recently comemnoted. It Is impossible to give a cermet estimate of the loss in machinery rind material to-night. Owing to the great rapidity with which the fire spread, but little leas saved In the build ing destroyed, and much of the machinery the adjoining building mast hare been seri ously Injured Le its hasty removal. Oreat credit is dr:trite the firemen and- work men employed in the armory, threugh who. promptitude end energy the entire destrac don of these works was prevented.

The Banltars BPS Tint Sanatory mania, for by no other nom° can the patriotic feeling which crops on t In Sanitary Lairs, contributions and oonsatiesions be so fittingly described, had a. curious Ulna - =ation lately in California. Tho advantages were net lessevd though the instrumentality wet novel. At Dayton, in that State, while the lemon' Hoar which realised so many thousand doun.s was there, a person observed a email brown bog crawling. Catching this specimen of Witehoe entomology, he pieced it on the bar , of a 'sloop, and, deeliring it to be the "Greatl Sanitary Bag of Washoo," asked for bide for his tnsindilts. The idea took, and levers.' bids were Instantly made, and soon the bog was nooked down at $lO. The now owner of the Great Sanitary Bug again pot him op at auction, and again the bidding commenced. Jost et this time a man who bad offered $1,50 for the bog, asked a by-standar for in formation in regard to the beg. "What I, .here about the bug," hs aaked, "that make , it to valuable?" "It Is the G reat Sanitary Bog," answered the person 'to whom Oda question was propounded; "It la only bens. the money is going to the Sanitary Fund that people are bidding on it." At this the man who offered $1,50 showed strong symptom' et disgust. "Damn the Sanitary Fend," he cried, "is that all?" At this Captain.Cloto confronted him with—"My friend, you mutt not damn theSenhary Fond." Bet the Mat who had been going It altogether on the merits of the bog, insisted open damning the Sanitary Fund, whereupon Gaptain Clow turned loose upon, and gave bite a beautiful), thrashing. During the confusion incident to this slight digression of the programme, the Great Sanitary beg was swept away and lost, or his bugship might have sold era thls for thin:Lunde of dollars, and have bad the honor of a glace case and a trip to the bile dallppi Valley Fair, labelled, "the Groat Sanitary Bag from Weshoe." Death of JosLeh Quincy It is announced that Josiah Quincy, of Massachusetts is dead. The intelligence will take no one by gumbs, since he bad long . passed the allotted period of human life, and was verging to that time in which ho would foe a third century rolling under his feet. It will be even less surprising than other deaths because he has long withdrawn from active pursniu, and but ooassionally interfered with the current occurrenoes of the time. Not , I withstanding these facts Mr. Qttinos's death will be both a surprise and regret.

Prof. Agassis, in the Atlantic Monthly, comes to the conclusion that the continent of North 'America was at one time covered with ice a mile in thickness. The proof Is that the elopes of the Allegheny range of mountains ale glacier worn to the very top, except a few points, which were above the level of the icy mass. Mount Washington, for instance, is over six thosisand feet high, and the rough unpolished surface of its summit, covered with loose fragments, Put below the level of which glacier marks come to an end, tolls us that It lifted its head alone above the desolate waste of Ice and snow. In this region, then, the thickness of the sheet cannot have bees much less than sic thousand feet, and this is in keeping with the 'same kind of evidence In other parts of the country; for, wherever the !mountains are much below six thousand feet, ithe ice seems to have pissed directly over them, while the few peaks rislar, to that height are left untouched. The glacier, he argues, was God's great plow, and when the Ice vanished from the face of the Inns, it loft it prepared for the hand of the husbandman. The hard outface of the rooks was ground to powder, the elomonte of the soil were mingled In fair proportions, granite was carried . Into the lime regions, lime ear mingled with the more arid and unproductive granite districts, and a soil we.. prepared fit far the •grlcultin • re' uses of rain. There are evidence. all 07D7 the pier regions to show that at one perlei the hast of the tropics extended all over the '', globe.
