The Capture of Atlanta Confirm
ed.

WASHINGTON, Sept 4, p. m.
Gen. Sherman's official report of the
capture Of Atlanta has just been received
by this Department 1t is dated twenty
six miles south of Atlanta, at six o'clock
yesterday morning, but was detained by
the breaking of the telegraph lines men
toned in my despatch of last night.
''As already reported, the army drew
from about Atlanta, and on the 30th
had made break of the West Point road
and reached a good position from which
to strike the Macon road, the right (Gen.
Howard) near Jonesboro, the left at Gen.
Schofeld) Rough and Ready, and the cen
tire (Gen. Thomas) at Couch's. Howard
found the enemy in force at Jonesboro, and
entrenched his troops, the salient within
half mile of the railroad. The enemy
attacked him at 8 p. m, and was easily re-
pulsed, leaving bis dead and wounded.
Finding strong opposition on the road, |
advanced the centre and left rapidly to the
railroad, made good lodgment, and broke
it all the way from Rough and Ready down
to Howard's left, near Jonesboro, and by
the same movement | interposed my whole
army between Atlanta and the part of the
enemy eutrenched in and round Joneshoro
We made a general attack on the enemy
at Jonesboro on the 1st of September, the

the works handsomely with ten guns and
about thousand prisoners. In the night
the enemy retreated south, and We have

OFFICIAL WAR BULLETIN.
Grant Wants but 100000 More
Men to Finish the Rebellion
and Restore Peace

WASHINGTON, Sept. IS p. m.
This department has received intelligence
this evening that Gen Sherman's advance
entered Atlanta about noon to day. The
particulars have not yet been received. but
telegrarhio communication during the
night with Atlanta direct is expected.
1t Is ascertaincd with reasonable Ger.
tainty that the naval and other credits
required by the act Of Congress will amount
to 100000, including New York. which
has not been reported yet to the Depart.
ment; SO that the Presidents call of July
10 is practically reduced to 800, 900 men
to meet and take the place Of
First-The new enlistments in the navy:
Se.ond-The casualties of battles, sick,
ness, prisoners and desertion; and
THira-The hundred days troops. and
all others going out by expiration of ser
vice this Fall.
One hundred thousand new troops
promptly furnished is all that General
Grant asks for the capture of Richmond
and to give finishing blow to the rebel
armies yet in the field The residue of the
call would be adequate for garrisons in
forts and to guard all the lines of commu,
ulcatlon aud supply, free the country from
gueriIlas, give security to trade, protect
commerce and travel, and establish peace,
order and tranquility in every State.

Dispatch from Admiral Farragut

The Navy Department has received the
following from Admiral Farragut:

patch No. 81, 10 state to the Department
that Fort Morgan had surrendered on the
sd inst. to the army and navy, though at
the time that dispatch was written and
mailed the ceremony of surrendering had
not taking place.
The Department will perceive the terms
OF captulatlou were the same as in the case
OF Fort Gaines. Gen. Page endeavored to
obtain more favorable terms. but without
success
L regret to state that after the assembling
of the rebel officers, at the appointed hour
of 2 p. m., for the surrender outside of the
tort, 1t was discovered on an examination
OF the interior that most of the guns were
spiked, many of the gun carriages wanton
ly injured, and the arms, ammunition and
provisions, etc, destroyed, and there was
every reason to believe that this had been
done after the white flag had been raised.
1t was also discovered that Gen Page
and several of his officers had no oswords to
deliver up; and further. that some of those
which were surrendered had been broken.
The whole conduct of the officers of Fort
Gaines aud Fort Morgan presents such a
striking contrast in moral principle that |
cannot fail to remark upon it Colonel
Anderson, who commanded the former,
finding himself in position perfectly un-
tenable, and encountered with superfu-
Gus number OF conscripts, many of whom
were boys, determined to surrender fort
which he could not defend
In this determination he was supported
by all his officers but one; but from the mo
ment he hoisted the white flag he scrupu-
lousy kept everything intact, and in that
condition delivered it over. whilst Gen.
Page and his officers, with a childish spite
tulnesS, destroyed the guns which they
had said they would defend to the last, but
which they never defended at all and
threw away or broke those weapons which
they had not the manlness to use against
their enemies; for Fort Morgan never fred
gun after the commencement of the
bombardment and the advanced pickets of
our army were actually on its glacis
As before stated, the ceremony of sur.
render took place at ? P. m, and that same
afternoon all the garrison were sent to New
Orleans in the United States steamers
Tennessee and BienviIle, where they ar
rived safely.

Sectional Ticket

We believe since the organization of
parties in this country no such section
al ticket has been nominated as that
at Chicago. Pcndleton is member
Of Congress from Ohio, and when Nc
Clellan entered the army his home was
also in that State. As a citizen does
not lose his residence by entering the
army, it is question which might vet
arise whether these candidates do not
contravene that clause of the Consti-
tuition which declares that the Presi-
dent and Vice President shall not be
from one State. By the by, where are
all the political mongers who four
years ago had so much to say about a
sectional ticket, although Lincoln was
from Illinois and Hamlin from Maine? !?
