From Atlanta.

NASHVILLE, July ga special to the
Herald says:
Sensation dispatches, dated Atlanta,
22d, published in western papers, create a
totally false impression. We have not yet
occupied Atlanta. 1t is believed here we
have done better than that, and are keep
ing Hoods army in it. Hood appears to
have been much chagrined at the result of
the fight of the 22d. There has been no
fighting since the 22d. All railroads lead
ing from Atlanta, except the Macon road,
have been destroyed.
There appears to be no disposition on
our part to hasten the occupation of At
lanta. Other things can be done than at
lacking the enemy in their works, and
Sherman is not likely to force an engage
ment in which the enemy will have very
great advantage. Reliable information
has been received that everything is going
on right.

Aternoon Report.
From Martinsburg and Harper's
Ferry.

From Martlns0urg ana harper
Ferry.
NEW YoRK, July 27.-A Tribune special
dated HarpeFs Ferry, 26th, says;
The statement in the Baltimore Amer
lean of to-day that Hunters force had met
with disaster and Gems. Kelley and Averill
killed is untrue. Gen. Crook, who was 10
command at Winchester, retired in good
order before a superior force after a Sc
we're fight, bringing all his artillery of the
| field. A portion of the cavalry were STAN
peded, but have since been reorganiZed.
Every precaution has been made to give
the rebels a warm reception if they should
cross the Potomac. Information received
from q Trustworthy source places their
number at about $4,000. There is no
truth in the report that Hill and Long
street are with them it is Early's COM
msnd returning, having heard that the 9th
and 18th corps had desisted from pursuit.
The Tribune's Washington special says
Col. Mulligan is wounded and prisoner.
Reports from the Valley create no ex-
element here the report about Longstreet
is not believed.
A special to the Herald from Washing
ton says that Washington and Baltimore is
not considered in any danger from the
present movement, and unless the rebel
force is much larger than We have reason
to suppose, its career will be short one.
General Wright is assigned to the COM
mand of the 9th and 18th corps.
General Picketts has command of the
9th corps.
The Herald's Baltimore dispatch Of the
26th, 9 p. m, says that at last accounts
Crook had succeeded in driving the ad-
vance Of the enemy which was pushing
north hack to Bunker Hill,
A report is now current of fight near
Harper's Ferry, in which Hunter was badly
worsted. They are very indefinite how
ever.
A Baltimore special to the Times says I:
So far as is known the rebels have halted
at MArtinsburg. No force have been seen
on the Potomac, and the Baltimore Ohio
railroad is unframed.
The rebels appeared before Martinsburg
at $50 p. m. yesterday, showing two lines
about $4,000 strong. The commands of
Early and Breckenridge baVe been joined
by Morgan's cavalry and are all under Hill
NEw YORK, July 27.-A Baltimore cor
respondent to the Times says:
No approximations seems to be entertained
that the rebels will demonstrate towards
Washington and Baltimore this time.
Gen. Crook says the force which attacked
him near Winchester on Sunday, was
greatly superior to his. They showed a
front of four miles overlapping him on both
wings, and could easily have developed
him if be had not retreated.
1t is feared Col. Mulligan is killed, but
the reports of the capture or death of Crook
or Averill is unfounded.
BALTIMORE, July 27.-The American of
to-day says:
There is no confirmation of the report
that the rebels have re-entered Maryland
by way of Sharpsburg or ShephardstOwn.
1t is hardly probable Early will come in
this direction, as he must be aware he will
encounter some very different troops from
those broken down columns of Hunter.
