Let rs, for moment. glance at the past OF these
three States-Virginia Keotucky and Illinois. Their

the fires of towns, cities and hamlets, and envened
with the shrieks of the wounded and DYING and sad
walls of the widows and orphans of the slain.
In 1776 Virginia, through her son, Thomas JeAer~

best suited to promote their happiness; Or in other
words, that all Governments should rest upon the

rest of the colonies, banded together with Virgins,
Georgia and the Caroinas, and, after seven years OF
bloody STRIFE succeeded in unfolding 1t against Great
Britain. A son of Virgina-George Washington

the thirteen States were admitted to be free and indie

Northern Georgia,

The attack and repulse of the enemy before our po-
sition near Marietta on the 9th ult, seems to have
been very serious matter and in OF less porter

gagged, would occupy prominent place. TIE obj ct Of

failed, with loss of twenty-five hundred men at the
very least calculation. 1t is not oen, in actions like
this that take any prisoners since, standing behind
our works, object s to repulse the enemy not un
necessarily to expose men, as we would do if
we left cur entertainments with the view Of trying to
cure prisoners.
A good map of Northern Georgia would be very
valuable at this time ard the study of the topography
Of that section would be matter of much interest 1t
might be worth while to enquire whether SHERMAN may
not contemplate other movement than direct ad
vance Atlanta by the line of the Western and At
antic Railroad crossing the Chattshoochie at the rail
road bridge near Winnings depot. There are bridges
and crossings higher up, North and East of the Rail
road as, for instance ct Roosevelt, on the road to
Athens, threatening Augusta and the line of the Geor
gia Raj road. Are we sure that SHERMAN may not
wish to forty himself where he u.s. SO as to be able to
detach some twenty or twenty-five thousand men on
his left to turn right flank and thus compel JOHN
to fell back not simply to protect Atlanta, but
also 10 protect the railroads leading to Atlanta. There

The New York Herald is an institution in its Own
way, and is great on making discQZ1ries The Herald
of the 10th ut is before u.s. and it has found out for
certain that GRANT has at last found cut the way to
capture Richmond. The Herald had heard that GRANT
had crossed to the Southside, and it at
once that Petersburg OF course is hs and Fort Oar
ling can Offer resistance to this great fort taker.
Of course the Herald goes to satisfy itself that LEE
must retreat into North Carolina, pursued by GRANT
and harrassed by Federal cavalry
According 10 tie Herald, and indeed nearly all the
Yankee papers, GRANT by comiag over to the south side
of the James River has found the vulnerable point of
Richmond-he has fapked LEE out of that city, and
LEES retreat and its fall only questions OF SO many
days. The Herals predictions do not seem to be in
