FROM GEORGIA

Accounts from Georgia represent that General
Hoods troops in the best of spirits and that the
fall campaign promises to be an active one A
new strategic movement is ON foot, from which the
best results anticipated. The nature of this
movement will be made known in due time, but pru-
dsnce foibids any further alluson to it at present
Our opinion is that Mr. Sherman will find Atlanta
about as disagreeable as he made it to our people
when he brought his guns to bear upon the place a
few weeks ago.

MORNING. SEPTEMBER ss, 1864
THE WAR NEWS.

The report OF q Confederate success in the Valley
Isl We regret to say, not confirmed by official dis
patehes~ 1t was stated by a person who arrived
last evening by the Central train that General Early
had fight with the enomy at Browns gap on Mon
day and drove them six miles but we have it on
good authority that no regular engagement hsae
taken plaee-nothing more than some rear-guard
diminishing. The War Department, last night at
nine O'Clock, had no information Of General Earys
movements since falling back from Port Republic.
About five o'clock Oh Monday evening small
body OF the enemy's cavalry advanced and entered
Staunton, the route thither being open and unob-
strueted, our forces having DETECTED from the route
leading to the place Of their proceedings there
have no report the latest intelligence having been
brought by persons who left just the Yankees
were coming in. Previous to this time the tele
graphic apparatus had been removed, and thus all
direct communication with Staunton is cut off for
the present.
Three hundred and ffty Yankee prisoners, inclu,
ding eight officers, captured by General Eariy's
forces within the last eight days, reached the city
yesterday aud were quartered at the Libby. They
were brought out of Winchester just in time to es-
Cape recapture, and, by way Of keeping ahead Of
Sheridan were marched fifty-fve miles in twenty
pretty tall walking"
CAPTURE OF ATHENS EXPLOIT
OF GENERAL FORREST.
The following official dispatch was received yes
terday:
"ATHENs, ALA, September "a, 1864
Hon. Secretary Of WT:
"My forces captured this place this morning, with
one thousand three hundred officers and men, fifty
wagons and ambulances, five hundred horses, and
two trains of cars, loaded with quartermaster and
commissary stores, with large quantity of small
arms and two pieces of artillery. My troops are in
fine spirits My loss is five killed and twenty five
wounded.
"lsignedl n. b. FORREST, Major-General.
Athens is the county seat Of Limestone county
Alabama, one hundred and fifty-four miles north by
east from Tuscaloosa, and about twenty northwest
from Huntsville. Limestone county borders on the
Tennessee line and is therefore the rear of Sher
mans army. Forrest may be called the "ubiqui-
tous." We FIRST hear Of him at the head CT force
threatening Memphis, then at Mobile, and then
hundreds Ct miles away, pounding upon Federal
garrison, and making valuable captures with slight
loss to himself. Whenever lie strikes a blow he
strikes hard, and the enemy hold him in mortal
dread. Now that lie is family oil the wing, We shall
expect to hear of brilliant exploits among the
Yankees in North Alabama aud Tennessee.
Athens is considered by Sherman most impor-
taht position and hence the strong garrison sta
toned there The Central Southern railroad, which
unites Nashville with the Memphis and Charleston
railroad passes through the place, anl its oceupa
ion by forces therefore sewers one OF Shermans
lines Of communication.
