, A PoLIrIcAL SENSATION NIPPED.-The story
that Col. Bowmau was removed from the sup,
erintendence Of West Point academy because
Of bis connection with Gen. Me- Clellan's oration
there, turns out to be wholly false. as We sup
posed it wonld. Col. Bowman's removal was
determined upon, and be had notice Of it, more
than six months ago. Gen. Wright was as,
signed to bis place, but being wanted for active
service, Gen. Tower was made superintendent.
The change at West Point was for military
reasons altogether. The vast amount of news

ATLANTA has been alternating for more
than week past, between the con,endng
forces. One day in Federal possession. and
the next not so. Although the general
tenor Of the news has.not really war; ented
tie belief of our possession Of the place, we
left to inter, which inference is confirmed
by the best testimony within reach that it
cannot escape. 1t must fall into Shermau's
hands, and that too, without delay. In the
meantime there has been severe fighting
and Confederate loss. There were two
very severe battles near Atlanta fast week,
on Wednesday and on Friday OF the
former we have already had. telegraph ac-
ccunts. Fridays engagement. like that on
Wednesday, was brought on by the rebels
aud was their second desperate nd uusuc
cessful effort to drive General Sherman
back across the ChattahooeLee. Hood has
evidently been q student of Lees tactics
He massed his whole army against one div.
ision Of General Sherman's, and endeavored
to break through by sheer weight and mo-
meutum of attack, but failed. Tue assault
was upon the line held by the troops which
composed the grand division--.wo corps
OF Mcpherson. The 18th and l7lh Corps
became first engaged, and seemed to have
been pressed very. heavily; but being REIN
forced by the 10Th, drove the enemy back,
aud remained masters Of the field. The
rebel loss is put at 5000, ours at 1000
Adding Fridays and Wednesdays, we have
casualties on the rebel side amounting 10
not less'thsn l3, 900 men killed and wound
