One day last week there were no less than

observe variety Of hues and shadcs-some
painted light or dark green, sope blue,

the most part. to Boston, a few only to New

nearly equals the value Of the ship and car.

NEW YORK, Nov. 90.
An Atlanta letter of the 10th, to the Her.
aid, mentions tho arrival of escaped Union
prisoners lrum Andesonvllle, who confirm
the statements of rebel atrocities towards
our prisoners. and who also states that in
travelling through Georgia he found that the
barvests had been gathered and tho barns and
storehouses filed. lilo says there are but
very few rebel soldiers in the interior, thus
showing tina, there is plenty to subsist an ar
nv on, while but little resistance can be OF.
fcred. The last train from Atlanta bound
north was to leave there on the llth. The
only troops in Atlanta on the 10th were Slo.
GUMS corps.
A Chattanooga correspondent OF the Her.
aid, writing under date OF the 18th inst,
states that no hal just arrived from Atlanta.
All the arsenals. loundries and rolling stock
in Atlanta had been destroyed. All the fac
tories. mills and foundries from Chattanooga
to Atlanta, and miles bsyond. have also been
destroyed Tho railways were Quilted and
torn up, and all the iron put beyond use OF

grown with grass. For weeks trains coming
north have been filled viii, Government stores
and refugees, and the scenes ut tho depot
have been those of confusion and suffering.
Another account says Gen. Sherman had
his headquarters on Monday last ut Kingston
with the 18th corps. he had issued AN or
der telling the troops that they were about
to pass through country heretofore unoc-
cupicd by either army. and they were expect
ed to subsist on the country. taking all tho
mules and horses within their reach.
The l4th corps was tho rear guard OF Sher
mans army, and moved from Kingston on
Monday last.
A statement Is printed hero to the effect
that Sherman's army left Atlanta In two col.
umus, one on the Och and the other on the
10Th, moving eastward. the former via Ma

The first column was heard from on the'road
towards Macon, driving everything before 1t

Greal Bank Robbery at Waipoie, NJ H.
$40, 900 Stolen.

Bellows FALLS. Vt, Nov. 10.
Tho Savings Bank at Walpole, n. d., Tour
miles from this place, was robbed last night
Of over $4,000 in bills, U. 5. Bonds, &c.
The robbers broke into the house OF Mr.. b.
F. Aldrich. the Treasurer, and stole the keys
to tho sale from the pockets OF his panta'
looms, after which they had easy access to
tho Bank. Itis thought that they used chlo-
reform. It Is hoped large portion OF the
loss will be saved by stopping payment OF
the bonds stolen. AZ the numbers have al-
ready been found Of all but S270O. The at-
fair has created considerable excitement both
at Walpole and this place. and all possible
means are being made to ferret out tho rob.
bers. A reward of $4,000 has been offered
for their arrest aud recovery Of the money.
