Draper.

Tie full confirmation not merely Of tho lall
Of Atlanta but Of the decisive defeat Of portion
Of the euemy's force is supplied by the Official
dispatch Of Gen. Sherman, this morning pub.
lishcd. II was again q faux movement which
decided The fate Of tie Rebel stronghold. Gen.
Sherman abandoned the greater part Of his lines
east end north of Atlanta, holding only .he
Chat:ahoocheo and its approaches with the Goth
Copg, and with oil The rest Of bis army pre-
cipitated himself upon The Macon Railroad be-
low its junction with the Lagrange road At
East Point. 4 Rebel forcs at JCnesboro, %
miles south OF Atlanta On the Macon road was
bv this lnennuvre isolated from the main army
unde- How, TINT still held the city, and although
strongly intrenched, was attacked aud defeated
on the 1t September, with the loss Of ten guns,
I,756 prisoners. and at least 1900 killed and
wounded. Upon becoming aware Of Sherman
movement, and Of the division Of bis army. and
the occupation Of bis only line Of communica-
ton. Hood blew up his magazines in Atlanta,
destroyed the rolling stock of the railway. and
fed in the nighttime.
Thus is this victory Of Gen. Sherman even
more brilliant, and more disastrous to the
enemy, han previous dispatches had led us to
anticipate. Hood is at the same momen. ma
neuvered ont Of his last fortress, and sees a
detachment of his army well nigh destroyed
by sudden and. maniiestly unexpected
attack. Tho uttormost military disgrace
has fallen upon him, for he both
permits his army to be riyen asunder, and
compulsorily abandons tho point, for the secu-
rity Of which he had ventured the hazardous
disposition of his forces which invited the effort
Of General Sherman. Though he may have
escaped with considerable fragment of troops,
il is evident the campaign and the State are lost
to hin. Sherman's necessity for rest will not
be long; bat, longer or shorter, he Is in safe
possession of the point to which all tho ef-
forts of tho campaign, on both sides, have
been directed, and be hes now the right to delay,
if he thinks ii advisable. Certain it Is there
will be no slowness on the part of Gen. shor.
