self with the reflection that the city itself is Of
special consequence. II 10 surruunded on all side,

issss - 10 very snxiou. that Grant should "hylt
possibility Of capturing the position.
The position u AFFAIRS before Atlanta IL also the
subject Of much discussion In the Richmond Jour
nails, and spirit Of oxultation pervades every
ticle. The appointment of Gen. Hood to the con..
msnd Of the A,lantn forces Is evidently very popu.
lar with ell classss Of the people. The de-
spondency that resulted from Johnstou's
continually retrcating, seems TO have given
place 70 Joy, and the ultimate defeat oi
Sherman. Is regarded - q certainty. The Rich.
nond DIsPATcn, In . review Of tho situation ut
Atlanta, satos that Sherman appears TO be engaged
in fortifying his own pontiou rather than iu
making Arrangements for attack on Hood. TIE
latter has ordered every able in bis par ,ment
TO 70 into the ranks and even the clerks in the
public offices are obliged 70 do military service.
II makes she doubtful statement thss In sherman's
attack upon their lines, he had force several COL
umns deep, and was e6ectually repu1sod, while
counter attack made by Hood was successful will
only one column deep. The Savannah RrrUnLioAN
says thst Shermau's fanking policy IL "playsd
OUT" and that the fact Is now demonstrated that
the "Yankee army" cannot march oil over tie
country ~ Il has lately done II she proper mcans
arc used " prevent IL. L Ilso says what will "
to Sherman's army, that the latter are alarm
ed at tho brilliant operations of the ConfedoruteS
and the great confidence that they exhibit gnce
the lighting policy has taken the place Vi JoLu-
ston's retrcating operations.
