ATLANTA CUT OFF
FROM THE EAST.
DECATUR OCCUPIED.
DESTRUCTION OF THE RAIL
ROAD TO RICHMOND.
Our Guns Open on the
City and It's Army
of Defense.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Official information
from General Sherman represents that every
thing is going on in manner highly satisfactory.
All the day before yesterday our army was
engaged with the enemy-the enemy being driven
steadily on into their intrenchments. The city
is In plain view Of our troops, and our shells can
reach It.
\ dive miles OF the railroad between Atlanta
and Decatur has been destroyed, rendering the
road useless to the Rebels.
The National Republican has furnished the
following, in advance of its publication -
"oHicial advices from General Sherman, re
ceiyed this morning, cover the operations down
TO hast night The work Of investing the city Is
fast going on.
"Th6re was some hard hghtng yesterday, re
Sutirg In the repulse Of the enemy in his effort
20 dislOdge our troops. General Palmer ad-
'Vnnced his line to a more advantageous position.
Our loss during the day was small.
General Sherman holds the railroad leading
from Atlanta to Richmond so that Johnston
cannot escape by that route to reinforce LoA
"His only means of leaving AtaniA is by two
roads leading South to Macon, and southwest
70 West Point ana Mobile.
"If Johnston escapes with his army by either
Of these last-named routes, he will be Obliged 10
move quickly
at is considered well settled proposition in
military circles that the Rebels can better afford
to lose Atlanta than Johnston's army, IL it is
not true that LongStreet il already In command
Eft"

Duties Cavalry, OF General Crooks command,
came upon their trains, and captured cghty-twO
Of THEN wagons, with but sight loss. Up at tho
mouth Of the Gap he had a more serious time
ana lost few men. Crook then brought up his
cavalry and, passing through the Gap, reached
The ferry, which was strongly protected, so shat
he could not Gross
The nest day General WEight came up with
eDlne Of his troops and soon determined TO nt-
tempt crossing sutlcenty at least 10 develop
their strength. lie did so, Hn1 under cover Of
artillery ihe crossed over several regiments,
which maintained their GROUND mantuliy for
somc timoi but, just as reintorcements were
about 20 join thtm, .lfey came back, the right Of
the line being In some confusion.
II is now near night, and n renewal of the
attempt could not be made until morning. &C.
neral Wright then began 20 manuuYre, to divide
his entmy's force and his attention, when ho
could easily have DESTROYED him. Instead of sue-
ceodiDg in this, he found that Early had received
news from Lee which, together with the chances
Ofbeng thrashed by Wright made him pack up
and leave at dOuble-quCli in the direction OF StraS-
burg. Gen raj Wright crossed the river and
proceeded rev miles towards Winchester but
learning nothing 10 change bis mind as TO the
direction the enemy had taken, he counter
marched bis forces, IN obedience 10 orders.
Among the casualties on the 18th, at Island
ford, were Colonel Washbume, llGth Ohio,
wounded Colonel Frost, llth Virginia, wounded
in the bowels, and LiCutenant- Colonel Murray,
oh New York heavy artillery, serving as infantry,
missing, and known 70 be severely wounded.
The whole loss was three hundred men. Tho

statements.

ngton and Baltimere was bu. ned. The road
itself was unbroken. What has been done then ,
What has ' ct been obtlined by these opportuni-
ties-Lynchburg and Washington-the line Of
which Providence has not vouchsafed since the
first year Of the war One house has been
burned two thousand head of cattle brought Off;
MpjOT-General Tyler and Major-General Frank
lin were taken prisoners, and both permitted to
escape.
Hnujor-General Breckinridge has improved the
occasion TO display his fine feelings at Bair's old
mouse. These are nearly all the results TO be
gathered from such accounts as we hope, and
pray, and trust that the story still Is /" left half
told" The iaile of the great chance Of I.vnch-
burg was bad enough, but IL would be indeed
hard II this invasion OF country emptieJ OF
troops should accomplish only the burning of a
house to cool the embers Of John Letcher's
dwelling.
LRuTgNANT-GENBRALs s. d. LEE.
The Marion Miss Clarion gives q brief mill
tary biography of this officer, recently appointed
Lieutenant General. He is native OF South
Carolina and a graduate OF Wesl Poiht where he
was hopOred with diploma In 1854, H. WIS a
cassmR'e of Generals J. Il. b. Stuart ]. B. Wilt
pigue, w. d. Pender, and Horace Randall.
After leaving West Point, he entered the regu-
lnr service Ms Second Lleutent of the Artillery
and was subsequently promo'ed TO FIRST Lis'lten-
ant Of the lSt Regiment of Regulars. Shortly
after his native State left the old Union, General
Lee resigned his position In the service of the
United States, and repaired 10 South Caroll1a,
where he entered the army OF that State as Cap
tain, early In March, 1861.
He served with BeauregRrd In the taking OF
Fort Sumter, and after the strife was fully in
nugurated aud u hostile army on the soil of the
Old Dominion, he repaired to Virginia with
battery light artillery, and there, with the legion
ol Ransom, figured conspicuously and hOnora0ly
in many Of the sanguinary engagements. He was
soon promoted 10 the rank of Major, next Lieut.
Colonel and then Colonel. He commanded a
battery on the Potomac for some time; was
in the battle of Seven Pines and the seven
days fight around Richmond was next asAAned
to duty rs Colonel of The 18th Virginia Cavalry,
and subsequently TO 4 batterO of artillery, tdat
gained distinction in the second battle Of Mauls-
sas aud at Sharpsburg. When a commander was
needed for the defenses Of Vicksbdrg in the fall
of 1862 President Davis sent him TO defend the
stronghold of Mississippi, having conferred upon
the rank Of BTigader- General.
He commended at the battle OF Chickasaw
Bayou, above Vcksburg, where, in December,
1862, he whipped Sherman and Morgan smith,
who brought large force against his heroic
little band. A. the battle of Bakers Creek he
commanded brigade of GeOrgiaDs, aud during
the siege OF Vicksburg held that portion Of
Steyenson's line so furiously assaulted on the
10Th and 22d of May.

sons employed in the several Bureaus from rom-
municRting any information whatever respecting
the business OF the Department % any person not

or verbal authority Of the Secretary. As tha War
Office has never been very fruitful source Of

Volunteer COuuseIOrs.
The Trmor of the resignation of Secretary Stan

merablC letters Of suggestion and recommen iation
as TO the proper person to iii the duties of the
War Office. These come from all sorts Of persons,
from Governors Of States downwards, and nomi-
nate every conceivable candidate, famous and
obscure. Mr.. Lincoln would probably be more

ported retirement Of Mr.. Stanton did not happ n

Unnecessary. - tn LII
There was considerable fighting going on on
Wednesday as well as yesterday, resulting ad-
vantageously. Everything is progressing mos:
favorable to us, according to all reports from that
quarter Yesterday General Palmer advanced
bis line to a more advantageous position. y
Our loss during the day was small. According
TO report the Rebels have been industriously for
tifying Atlanta first, by an extensive line ofrls-
pits nine miles in length, covering an interior
line of Notifications protected by abattis, and In
teraced with an inner series of rihe-pits, fss ~
1he position of the city is, however, NOT favor
sO for Defense and it is evident that the Rebels
d not count upon being able to hold it long by
the aid of its defensive works.
