No one who has dOubted eoneernis the

to award them splcndid success, m the
fact that already three years of pain
ful, disastrous war have brought the ar
my of Sherman before Atlanta, and pos
sibly within the city itself Five hundred
miles through the enemy's country, our
forces have cut their way. Through Ken
-t1eky, through Tennessee, through the
mbuntains Of Northern Georgia, down
into the open. country beyond, with iRYin-
eible might the army has gone, It seems
but few days ago that the Mississippi
was blockaded from Cairo to its mouth I
that Kentucky was yet disputed, and that
Bragg was entrenched at Murfreosboro to
dispute the advance of Rosesrans. Now
however they are being pressed toward
the Gulf Of Mexico. 5'4l - s--l
Atlanta, by reason. Of its position, is the
focus Of the railroad system of the Gulf
States. -Four different railroads, running
to all four points Of the compass, have
made Atlanta an important place for the
gdvernment workshops and iron works.
The loss, to the rebels, Of Atlanta, must
therefore prove very serious.
The chief anxiety which can be felt now
is not for the safety of Sherman so much
as that Johnston may retreat toward sa-
v4nnah or Montgomery, before Sherman
can deliver a blow. Sherman will un-
d9ubtedly intercept the raiIroad connection
Of Atlanta with the East aud South, and
ifipossible prevent Johnston from att.
