More Psrtie ulars About the Capture of
Atlanta-Retreato Of Gen. Mrod.


CHATTANOOGA, TENN, Sept. 7.-Advices from
Jonesboro' to the Cd instant, were received
this morning. Gen. Hoods army was then
retreating, with Gen. sherman's forces hang
ing closely on his rear. The head of the Union
column was diminishing with the rebel rear
near Fayetteville, six miles from Jonesboro'
The fighting around Jonesboro' had been very
severe, and the enemy was routed at all points
On the Both ult., the 4th aud 23d corps struck
the Macon line hye miles beyond East Point.
In the meantime the 18th, 10th and 18th corps
and KIpatrlck's cavalry were skirmishing
briskly with the enemy on our right, driving
them across Flint river into Jone5boro'. Ha,
zen's division Of the 10th corps took possession
Of prominent hill on the way to the enemy's
position. On the next day the enemy burst q,
masse on the 18th corps, but their repeated as.
saults were repulsed, and they lost several
general officers, including Mai. Gen. Anderson
who was mortally wounded. Our loss was
light, as we fought behind earthworks. Ha-
zen's division captured two flags.
On the morning of the 1st Of September the
18th Corps marched along the Macon road,
destroying the track for several miles. In the
afternoon they assaulted the rebel entrench-
ments, and, after desperate conflict, lasting
for two hours, drove the enemy out, taking
two batteries Oncluding the celebrated LOOMS
battery taken from vi. at Chick amauga) and
some battle-nags, Gen. Gaven, and an Arkan.

Early in the night Lees Corps moved away
10 Tom Stewards Corps, left In Atlanta, the
command devolving on Hardee, who retired
along the Macon road. Hood. finding the sit.
uation desperate in Atlanta, also retreated on
the 1st, burning nearly thousand bales oi
cotton and eighty.slx wagons laden with am
munltion.
At the break Of day on the Cd our army fol
lowed in hot pursuit. The object was to gel
between Hood and Hardee, and cut of one oI
them. The defeat has paralyzing effect Oh
Hoods army, and the soldiers and militia are
breaking for home on all sidcl.
The details of the occupation of Atlanta BY
Gen. Sherman are given, including note from
Major Calhoun, asking protection for non
combatants and private property, which wat
granted.
NEW YORK, Sept. s, l O'Clock, a. ma dis
