AItANrA, July 25.--The enemy made an
attempt last night to break our lines, but was
Npn sed by Cheaiham after a conflict Of one hour.
Daring the day quiet prevailed around The city,
the only demonstrations being occasional picket
ming. At midday to-day the Yankees opened
with she'll again npon the city, 'liag it one
hOnr with some vlgor. No notice OF his Intention
10 thtll the city was given, TO enable tho women
and CHILDREN to be removed to places Of safety.
His barbafous violation of the usages Of civilized
warfare only enabled him 10 murder q few nOu-
cOnhaiapIs. Most Of the shells came from 20
poDnder Parrott guns in position on the line Of
the Western Atlanta Railroad, with occasional
missiles from anuther gun cast Of the city.
The gallant operations of Wednesday aud
Friday seem TO have impressed the Yankees With
which they arc now doing. Their display OF
rocket signals has been brilliant indicating some
movement ON their part.
The following address 20 the troops was read
this morning.
