inst, to the army and navy, though at
the time that despatch was written and
mailed, the ceremony of surrender had
not actually taken place. So
The correspondence preliminary to that
event is herewith forwarded, marked Nos
1,2, 8, and 4, and the Department will
perceive that the terms -of 'eapitulSsloh
were the same as in the case of Fort
Gaines. General Paige endeavorcd to
obtain more favorable terms but without
success.
I regret to state that after the assem-
bling of the Rebel officers at the appdhit-
ed hour, 3 o'clock, p. NJ, for the sur
render outside the fort, twas discovered,
on an examination 'of the interior, that
most of the guns were spiked and many
Of the gun carriages materially injured,
and arms and ammunition and provisions,
&C., destroyed and there was every rea-
son to believe that this had been done af-
ter the white flag had been raised 1t
was also discovered that General Paige
and several of his dihccrs had no swords
to deliver up; and, further, that some of,
those which were surrendered had been
broken. The whole conduct Of the Off
GERS of Fort Gaines and Fort Morgan
prescats such h striking contrast IL tac.ai
principal 4hat eahnot fail to remark
upon it. Colonel Anderson. who com
manded the former. finding hianself in n
possrren pctferiy untenablc, and incum-
bcTea with a supcrHous number of con-
scripts, many of whom were mere boys,
determined to surrender fort which he
could not defend, and in this dctermina-
tiomwas supported by all his officers save
one. But, from the moneht he hoistea
the white flag, he scrupulously kept cv-
crythng intact, and in that condition de-
livered it over, whilst General Paige and
his officers, with childish shif9essncss;
destroyed the sans which they had said
they would defend to the last, but which
1 they never defended at all . and threw
away or broke TIE weapons which they
had not tie manliness to hst against tl:er
enemies, for Fort Morgan never fired Il
gun after the commencement of the bonn
burdment, and the advanced pickets of
our army were actually on its glacis.
AS before stated, the ceremony of sur
render took place at 2 o'clock p. NJ, and
that same aftcrnooa a't the garrison were
sent to New Orleans in the United States
steamers Tennessee and Bicnville, where
they arrived safely.

These are the splendid military achiev-
ments of Gen'l MCCLELLAN in the field,
which entitle him to the Presidency. lie
has the credit of organizing the army of
the Potomac and making an armyof it,
though he co1ld not do more, He has
also the cred8. of inaugarating military
arrests and sending the Rebel Legislature
of Maryland to Fort Warren. For this
we owe him thank erd gratitude. lie
has also the credit of having Urged on
! President LINCOLN the use of all the war
powers implied in the Constitution, negro
soldiers, emancipation proclamations, &c,
as effective means of crushing the rebel
lion, for these. too. We thank him. He
has also the credit of military interference
Fin the political elections Of Maryland
which elected our present Governor, for
which, too, We thank him I*e are dis
posed to be thankful even for small fla
vors). All these things did he doin the
short space of two years, and now he
stands before the world as the candidate
of the Peace party, the secession, recog-
milton, State sovereignty, Constitution as
it WIS, Southern rights candidate, under
whose administration peace must surely
take place, the rebels coaxed back if you
can, taxes reduced, ptBiie -dess be rdpu-
dated, and everything let go as smooth
as Jack plane, if it will with only one
proclamation that rs, that the war is at
an end, tho South arc corAally invited
to come back to all thcA old places, to
have all their /" niggers" or be raid for
those who have been killed and cent be
found, tile Federal acst rs terepudiated,
and the Confederate debt to be paid, and
every Southern man is to have all his
constitptional rights, except one he shall
not be hung for having been traitor.
Such is the platform on which Gen'l Nc
CLELLAN IS aow paaccd, compare it with
what he wrote ard *rsed tfo gears ago
and then talk to US about " consistency
thou art a jewel"
General MCCLELLAN also wrote a book,
and published it, forgctful of the excla-
nation of one of olden time, who cxclaim-
cd, ooh! that mine enemy would write
book" We shall take occasion to re-
fer to that book. In the meantime, We
have a few words to say to FATHER An.
RAnAN. Write no books save what you
write with the sword. You have put
your Foot down for 500, 900 more men
keep it there, and if need be set your
teeth firmly, take long breath, and wher
you let go of it let the sound tsereof be
by the Eternal I'll have them too.

THIRD OFFICIAL BULLETIN,
WAR DEPARTMENT,


WASHINGTON, Sept 4, 1864, z, NJ
4Nyor Gen Dir, New York:
General Sherman's official report of the cap
ture of Atlanta has just been received by this
Dcpartm mt. II is dated % IN lies south of At
lanta at o'clock yesterday morning, but was
detained by the breaking of The telegraph
wires mentioned in my dispatch of last night.
As already reported, the army drew from
about Atlanta, and on the Both had made
break of the West Point road, and reached a
good position, from which it struck the main
road. The right, under the command of How
ard being near Jonesboro' the left under
Schoiield, near Rough and Ready, and the
center, under Thomas at Brouchs. Howard
found the enemy in force at Joncsboro', and
entrcnched his troots al a salient point within
half mile of the railroad. The enemy at
tackled him at P. NJ, and was easily repuIsed
leaving his dead and wounded.
Finding strong oppositions on the road,
advanced the left and center rapidly to the
railroad, aud made II good lodgmcnt, and
broke it all the way from Rough and Ready
down 10 llownId's left, near Jonesboro and
by the same movement intcrposed my whole
army between Atlanta and the part of the en-
emy's force cntrcnched in and around Jones'
boro'. We make general attack the en-
envy at Jonesboro' on the LIST of September, the
Fourteenth Corps, General JEFF. C. Davis, carry
ing the works hansomcly with ten guns and
about a thousand prisoners. In the night the
enemy retreatcd Sonth and we have followed
him to adoihcr Of his hastily constructed lines,
near Lovcjoy's Station. Hood at Atlanta
finding me on this road, the only Que that
could supply him, and between him and Il con-
siderable part of his army blew up his maya
zines in Atlanta aud left in the night time,
when the Twentieth Corps. under Gen. Sloculn,
took possession of the place i SO Atlanta is
ours, and fairly won! Since the 9TH of May
we have been in one constant battle or sgir-
mish, and need rest Our losses will not cx-
coed twelve hundred, andwe have possession
of three hundred Rebel dead, two hundred and
fifty wounded and fifteen hundred we'll.
(Signed) W. T. SHERMAN,
'aN tff Major General.
A later dispatch from General Slocuin dated
ut Atlanta last night, srd, o P. NJ, states that
the enemy, in evacuating Atlanta, destroyed
seven locomotives and eghty-one cars, loaded
with ammunition, and small arms and stores,
and left fourteen pieces of artillery most of
them unnjnrcd, and-a large number of small
arms. Dcscr,crs are constantly coming into
our lines. ..5.-.s..-.-. .. .6a goa
