wires taken down, and the country ayacp- |
ated.
We have had nothing from Hoods army
except that it was on the march beyond |
the ChattahoOchie when last seen. No on
prehension about its reaching the Blue
Mountains in safety, is felt.
Sherman has dispatched a considerable
cavalry force down the right bank of the

Hood has thrown his army upon the
Federal Commanders rear, and to avoid
starvation Sherman must go back to At
lants and attack Hood, or be relieved by a
fresh army sent from the North to clear
the obstructed track to Atlanta.
