cessfuly for the capture Of Atlanta. AT ii
o'clock on Friday forenoon a portion OF his
army entered Atlanta, and found that his
combinations had forced an evacuation. The
main portion Of his army was moved on the
right on the 2Gth, and Atlanta pushed so ell
feotually that Hood had to hurry out of the
place. 1t was while making his escape, un-
doubtedly that he was met and defeated at
Eastpoint.

DoMEsric SILKs.--California may branch
out and become Il great silk manufacturing
state some day, when it becomes known that
her facilities for doing so are much superior
to those of most other lands. Louis Pre-
vost, of San Jose, who has q lot of silk
worm eggs and cocoons on exhibition at the
Mechanics Fair, says that in Europe the
greater portion of every crop of silk worms
get diseased and die, but in this climate
they all live and como to maturity-it is
impossible for them to become diseased.
He also says that here it is but little trouble
and requires small care and attention to
raise silkworms, and that in his department
OF labor one man here can perform the work
of eight in Europe, and do it with eompar-
ative ease. Provost getsno opportunity to
manufacture California silks because the
demand for his silkworm eggs is so great
from foreign countries, and the prices paid
him so liberal, that he finds it more profita-
bic to lay the eggs and ship them. off, than
to keep them and hatch them. As fast as
the worms produce them, he sends them to
Italy and comes as near filling all orders
from there as he can, at twelve dollars an
ounce Containing 40 900 eggs.), lie has an
order from Mexico, now, for 500 ounces,
but he is unable to fill it. They say that q
silkworm ranch is one of the few Kinds of
property in this world that never fail to paw.

upon it.-San Francisco Cal. y
