THE SITUATION AT ATLaNrA-rHE fIoHT OF THE
2SrH-HooD's STYLE OF FIGhfING-faE s!fGE A
SLOW ErsfSEss.
The New York Times contains the latest news
from Atlanta III the form of very interesting let
ter. The account of the battle Of the 28th Of July
shows how much the Federals suffered. 1t appears
that i; determined to attack Hood his left,
and for this purpose Logan's, Blair's and Dodse's
corps shifted from the left to the right TO make
the assault. To cover this movement, general ad-
of the Yankee skii1nishers along the whole
line made on the 9th and repulsed, ss, the
correspondent thinks, expected. This device,
however, did not seem to deceive Hood, who also
massed troops where the assault was to have been
delivered, and pouncea on Logan before he got into
position, whipping him and going back to his works.
After this disaster the Yankees determined not to
make the proposed assault. There is good deal OF
wrauglng about whose fault it is that Logan was
whipped. The other corps commanders are accused
OF not getting up in time TO support him. General
Sweeney was removed from his command, and Gene
raj Jefferson c. Davis is TO be court-martalei Lo-
gan declares that ne lost only 500 men, which was
As little he could possibly have gotten off with
under the circumstances The correspondent winds
up with the usual consolation that the loss OF the
rebels nearly equal to ours" These disasters iii
front, and tho inability flank Hood, seem 10 have
opened the eyes Of the Yankees. The correspondent
saya
10 tell the truth, arc somewhat puzzled at the
stubborn i,ort presented by the clleIny Hood has
been G.aadiuiiy worried since our cnsToachnicnt5
commenced, and has experienced three disastrous
0eie,ts, i'll which, according To the rebel new.L pa
pers he has sustained loss Of twentyslx thousand
men. ct he keeps up bold front, and audacousiy
stands hs ground, to the great dissatisfaction Of oui
shiTInish line, which made three unsuccessful at
| tempts to advance yesterday.
We cannot, with the least chance OF success, at
tempt 10 carry the enemy's Notifications By assault
| There yet two ways TO effect his dlslodgement
| If our right swings round on the Macon ROAD, he
must 1T is beleTed} come out OF his works and NJ h
US i'll an open field make his escape to the north
and east best he can. Ii, however, IN that case
the enemy persists i'll declining to fight evacuate
then General Sherman must provide his amy witt
twenty days rations and go clean around, ne did
at BuzZard Roost and Alaoona. The pot hook "
| is bound 10 .tcin.
| So far this morning eve thing is quiet in Ou1
front, with the exception Of the continual tlrlnt
| along our picket line. Our right now extends Il
| within short distance of the Macon railroad, GU
centre spans the Chattanooga road, and our left eA
tends to point about four miles northeast from th
| latter-named road. We are not unp1epared TOR
| stolm upon our right at any time; and, in tIct
may add, that such event is expected this day
| Tn. order for the day 10 for Howard, cOmmanlln!
the Amy Of the Tennessee, TO push toward the Ma
| can road III line Of battle, and urge the enemy t
meet him Beside the Fifteenth, sixteenth and Sc
| gsntoenth corps, Howard has Jefferson c. DAVIS d,
| vision Of me Fourteenth corps, and Wards division
| of the Fourth corps, upon his extreme right /
General Howard can only succeed in drawing tn
| enemy Out, 1 anticipate the result. There al
two tull batteries OF twenty -four pound hOWlZeTS i
1 his COnmand-thn most destructive engines OF wa
nownand his force iii an open field, can whip an
| put to tight equal number OF the rebels.
| 1t is reposted iii camp this morning, and tn
s'strlkers' claim it fact, that doe Johnston Id
| been again placed in command, md that Hood ha
been sent to the rear. 1 VIII add that this is liz
generally credited.
