OUR CONQUESTS.—The course of the
war thus far has been, on the whole, one of
steady progress by the United States. The
national armies have . from campaign to cam
paign occupied sue post after another, one
city after another,one State after another. Not
one single post, city, or piece of ground has
been surrendered back to the rebels after be
ing once thoroughly rejoined to tile Union;
not one city, fort, or position surrendered,
Which was of significant importance in the
war. There is not the least reason to doubt
that this victorious career will steadily con
tinue Our Noble republic, titnone visible
hope of freedom in this world, will be re-es
tablished in fairer form and more perfect
beauty than every. And this done, a vast
new truth wilt have been born through blood
and• pain into' the conscious world 'of man, in
to the commonwealth of nations.' •A detire
racy, intelligent and good, self governing and
self controlling, is the strongest

world ever saw, the richest, the safest, and
the happiest.

_One hundred thousand Anore
troops is all that General Grant asks ,"for the

blow to the Rebel armies yet in the field."
The remaining-two hundred thousand would
be adequate to garrison forts and cities, guard
all the lines of communication, free the coun

travel, and establish peace,• order and tran

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4-8 P., M.
To Mope Gen. Dix, New York,
Gen: Sherman's official retort of the cam
ture of Atlanta has just been received by
this Department. It is dated twenty-six miles
south of Atlanta, at six o'clock yesterday
morning, but was detained by the breaking
of the telegraph lines mentioned in my des
patch of last night.
"As already reported, the army drew from
about Atlanta, and on the 30th kid made a
break of the Rest Poiot road, and reached a
good position from which to ,strike the Ma
con road, the right (Gen. Howard) near
Jonesboro, ;the left (Gen. Schofield) near
Rough and Ready, and the: centre "(General
Thomas) at Couch's. Howard found the en
emy hi force at Jonesboro, and entrenched
his troops, the salient within half a mile of
the railroad. The enemy attacked him at 8
P. K r aut' was easily. repulsed, leaving his
dead and wounded. Finding strong opposi
tion on the-road, I advanced the centre and
left rapidly to the railroad, made a good lodg
went, and broke it all the way from Rough
and Ready down to Howard's left, near Jones
boro,und by the same movement I enterpos
ed my whole army between Atlanta and' the
part of the enemy entrenched in and round
Jonesboro.'' We made a general attack on
the enemy at Jonesboro on the Ist of Sep
tember,,the 19th Corps, Gen. Jeff. C. Davis,
carrying the works handsomely with ten guns
and about a thousand prisoners. In the
night the enemy retreated south, and we have
followed him to another of his hastily-com
struoted lines, near Lovejoy's Station. Hood
at Atlanta, finding me on his road, the only
one that could supply him,
and between him
and a considerable part of his army, blew up
his . magazines in Atlanta and left in the night
time, when the 20th Corps, Gen. Slocum,
took possession of the place; so Atlanta is
ours, and finally wan. • Since the sth of May
we have been in one constant battle or 'skir
mish, and need rest.
‘.'Our losses will not exceed 1,00, and we
have possession of over 300 rebel dead, 250
wounded, and over 1,800 well. .
W. T.

A later despatch from General Slocum,
dated at Atlanta last night, the 3d, 9 P. M.,
states that the enemy on evacuating Atlanta
destroyed seven locomotives' and eighty-on%
cars loaded with ammunition, small arms and
stores, and left fourteen pieces of. artillery,
Most of them. uninjured, and a large number
of small arms. Deserters are constantly com
