WHAT THEY SAY OF HOOD.
The Wing of the same date say;

The Wing OF the same date says
Nothing authentic has been received
from Georgia for several days. Stan
ton kilograms in regard TO our repulse
at Alatoona are no more to be relied on
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana,
which came on the morning after the
election; and were prepared expressly
for the European steamer which sailed
that day. The truth is, we have had
nothing official from Georgia since
Hoods dispatch announcing that Gen.
Stewart had torn up ten miles of the
railroad in rear Of Atlanta a Macon
paper says the reported capture of
Rome, with its negro garrison, is a ca
nard. We have also reason to think
that the mysterious affair about Con-
federate success at Alstoona, which the
War Department wisely (for onee) sup
pressed, is no more trustworthy than
the canard about Rome .s
Movements of vital Importance are
no doubt taking place in Georgia, bnt
our army being now beyond the reach
Of telegraph, we can of course have no
direct and speedy communication with
it. General Beauregard has by this
time joined General Hood, and the
country will at last have the benefit of
large and well cultivated military in
tellect. A few hours may bring intelh-
genee which will relieve the natural
suspense of the country in regard to
the situation of affairs in Georgia. We
may now reasonably hope for good IT,
dings from that hitherto unhappy quar-
ter.
The Montgomery, Alabama, Mail, has
the following dispatch, over which it
rejoices greatly
TAILEDAGA, Ala, Oct 10, IS64-It il
reported here that the advance guard
of our army under General Bate has
crossed the Tennessee at GunteFs land
ing and Is on the march for Middle
Tennessee The remainder of the troops
are believed to be rapidly following. =
General Hood's headquarters are sup~
posed to be at Cedartown, eighteen
miles below Rome, on the Ccosa. Gen
eral Beauregard viii rnach here to
night
The pOntoon train has been broken
from the ChattahoOchee and ordered
forward to the Tennessee, and all mail
matter and baggage directed to be seat
in the direction OF Tuscumbia.
Well, fifteen days have passed, since
the sending Of the above dispath; and
how far the hopes expressed have been
realized, the public know.
The Richmond Wing of the 18th, in,
dulges in the following
A press despatch published in the
Southern papers of the 18th states that
the flank movement Of General Hood
upon Atlanta has so far been complete
ly successful The railroad from Big
Shanty TO Kingston has been utterly
destroyed, even the cuts filed up. and
all the garrison along that distance caps
tured
On last Wednesday Frenehs diyi-
sion, Of Stewards corps, made an attack
upon Allaioons, which failed. The des-
patch adds that the whole corps subse-
quenuy went TO his assistance. when
the town was carried by assault and
I 900 prisoners taken, together with an
immense quantity Of materisls Of war.
