Report from Gen. sherman.


LoUIsvILLR, SeptemberB.-Ina answer to
. request that Major General Sherman
would give us details Of the late operations
before AtIanta, in order 70 silence the cav
lis Of those who in the absence Of particu-
lars were denying that those operations
were on the whole . Federal success, We
have received the following:
Atlanta, September Ion the 25th Of
August pursuant 70 4 plan of which the
War Department had beeu fully advised, /
lett the 18th Corps ~ the Chattahochie
Bridge, and with the. balance Of the army
drew on from the seige, aud using some
considerable aFtifee 70 mislead the euemy,
l moved rapidly south aud reached the
West Point railroad, near FaiFbOrn, on the
27th inst, and tore up IL miles OF il; then
moving east my right approached the Ma
con railroad, near JOnes6OTO', and my left
near Rough and Ready. The enemy at
tackled the right wing Of the Army Of the
Tennessee and was completely beaten on
the 3Ist.
During the combat pushed the LEFT Of
my centre rapidly on the railroad above,
between Rough and Ready and JOnesbOrO.
On the first Of September We broke up
about eight miles OF the Macon road, and
turned on the enemy at JOnesbOro, assault
ed him and his lines, and carried them,
capturing Brig. Gen. GoEau and about
two thousand prisoners, with eight gUns
and much plumber.
Night alone prevented our capturing al
Of Hardee's corps, which escaped south
that same night.
Hood, in Atlanta, finding all his rail-
roads broken or In our possession, blew up
his ammunition, seven locomotives and
eighty cars, aud evacuated Atlanta, which,
on the next day, Sept. ?, was occupied by
the corps LETT for that purpose, Maj. Gen
Slocum commanding. We followed the
retreating rebel army % near LOVejOy's
station, 80 miles south Of Atlanta, where,
finding him strongly entrenehed, l eOnelu-
ded IL would not pay 70 assault him, as We
had already secured the great object OF the
campaign, Atlanta.
Accordingly the army gradually and
leisuEeIy returned 70 Atlanta, aud it il
now eamped miles south of the city, and
tomorrow will move 70 the camps APP
pointed. am now writing In Atlanta,
50 / could not be uneasy in regard 70 our
situAtion. We have as the result of this
quick, and think well executed move
meut, ~ guns, over 5000 prisoners aud
have buried over 400 rebel dead, and Left
~ many wounded that could net be re-
moved.
The rebels have lost besides the imPor-
tant city Of Atlanta, all their stores, at
Leaf 500 dead, $500 wounded and 5000
prisoners Whereas our aggregate loss
will not foot up 1900. II that is not sue
cess don't know what is.

Last Nights Report.
The Richmond Papers on the Cap.
ture of Atlanta.

NEw YoRK. Sept.-The Richmond Ex-
Amiuer, OF the 9th, commenting on Hoods
Official dispatch announcing his disaster,
says:
How It was that after the attack on the
enemy with two corps near Jonesboro only
Hardee's corps was left TO resist the as
sault Of the enemy, can only be accounted
for by suPPOsing that after our attack
failed TO destroy the enemy Hood withdrew
one of them 70 Atlanta, leaving Hardee 70
bear the brunt alone. This he could hardly
have done had be not miscalcuIated the
ensmy's designs. He must have believed
the main body Of Sherman's army to have
been in front of Atlanta, when, in fact, Il
was on Flint river, near 'Jonesb0Eo, twenty
odd miles south.
The Examiner congratulates thu South
that though Atlanta is lost the army IL
not, and says the loss of the former is
nothing, while the loss of the latter Would
have been without remedy.
In another article, the Examiner con-
demns the removal OF Johnston, saying he
vas superseded by Hood, q commander of 9
division, nOtOFiOusly' incapable of man
aging anything larger than q division.
The result is disaster at Atlanta in the
very nick Of time when such victory
alone could save the party of Lincoln from
irretrieVable ruin.
After referring to the absurdity Of put
ting up and putting doWn,a commander in
the field, according to the crude views
or peeYish faucies of . functionary in
Richmond, the Examiner continues
Now is Il not hard, Is il not cruelty hard i,
that the struggle Of eight millions who
sacrifice their money and their lives, who
Rroan in the excess of eXertion, who
wrench every muscle till the blood starts
with the sweat, should come 20 naught;
should in the view Of rs all, that the pre-.
delictions and autipathies, the pitiful per-
sonal feelings Of q single man may be In
dulged3 Again, il says, the moral effect of
the loss Of Atlanta, though it may be tenn
pOrAry, will be great. Il will render in
calculable assistance to the party Of Lin
coin, and obscure the prospects of peace,
lately so bright. Il may exeuse them 70
execute the draft. It will diffuse gloom
over the South. TGs
This depression, however, may be speedi-
" relieved if the administration has q
spark Of real sense or unseIish patriotism.
observation-disclosures OF johnson or the appoint
ment Of Beauregard would at once restore
the confidence Of the country and army.
Tue Examiner says:
Late Bristol papers state that Il e all Q lie
about Wheeler destroying the Great Bridge
over the Tennessee river, At Loudon. The
The same paper says; he seems studiOus-
Iy 70 avoid the enemy's bridges aud lines
Of communication, and eIeVates himself TO
running about the country picking up
small lots Of prisoners.
The Sentinel closes an article on the
situation a. follows:
''Ths only practical moral We can draw
from all this is that the Confederate States
never had more urgent need OF an effective
army, dilligent eOnsriPtion and Vigilant
leaders, and all at the front, than they
have ct this hour"

, RS~TaE OH ExcITEMENF Down THH
RIvER-We learn from a gentleman who
is interested in an oil well in Peasants
county, that the olsagenous excitement runs
very high down there. On Horse Neck,
French and Cow Creeks, there are nearly q
thousand wells in progress. You cannot
ride any considerable distance, even In the
most obscure places without coming upon
an engine putting and blowing away and
driving shaft into the bowls of the earth.
On the Ohio eide of the river the same ex-
element prevails and large number OF
wells are being bored. Upon an average
there are about ten men at each we'll, which
fact will give the reader an idea of the inn
mense amount of money and labor that is
being employed in the search for oil. A
majority of the operators are from the cas-
tern cities, and some of the companies are
immensely rich. So far notmore than one
well out OF twenty has proved anything like
q success, and It is well established fact
that twice as much money has been spent
in searching for the oil as has ever been, Of
ever will be realized from its discovery.

JACKSON, JR., PREsIDIHa.-The United
States District Court met yesterday morn
ing at the court room in the Custom House.
A Grand Jury was empannellsd and His
Honor Judge Jackson delivered charge
at some length instructing the jury as to
the offences which would come before them
under the laws. The Judge alluded to
the laws in regard to counterfeitipg postage
currency and Treasury notes and frauds
upon the Government, and.instructed the
jury to give the matter their close atten-
tention. The body of the charge related
to the internal revenue laws, and the fact
that some twenty odd indictments have
been found against horse and cattle dealers
at Clarksburg, for negleoting to take out
licenses, was mentioned. Couveyaucers,
such as Recorders and Justices and others
than lawyers, who write wills and such
documents, and do a business which ought
legitmately to belong to the lawyer, are
required to take out license. The Judge
remarked that it was claimed by the at
torney for the Government that farmers,
whose gross receipts exceed one thousand
dollars, are required to take out license
The Court would not charge the Jury upon
this point at present, but as 1T was an i'm.
portant matter it was desirable that the
attention of the country should be called
to It.
Some thirty or forty witnesses were
summoned to go before the Grand Jury
The Court meets again this morning when
the docket will be called.

n6rARREsr OF A BoUNrr JUMPER AND


R@ARREsT OF A BOUNTY JUMPER AND
DEsERTER.-A man by the name of John
Williams was arrested on the Island, We'd
nesday night, and committed to the Athe-
neum. The fellow has quite an interest
ing history. He Joined Go. A, Of the 4th
West Virginia Cavalry, about the time Of
the organization of the regiment. While
the regiment was in Weston, Lewis coun-
ty, Williams outraged the person of wo-
man residing at that place. he was sent
to Clarksburg and tried by court martial
for the offence. he was convicted, but
while awaiting sentence he escaped from
the guard house and made his way to this
city. he was arrested here and placed in
confinement at the Atheneum. One day
he asked to go out and work a little for
exercise with the other prisoners, and his
request was granted. During the day he
made his escape, and all efforts to recap
ture him were fruitless.
One day this week lot of new
recruits for the 22d Pennsylvania Cavalry
arrived in the city from Pittsburgh, and
on Wednesday evening they were ordered
back to that place to join their regiment
via Baltimore. On returning to the cars
across the Island, they were met by some
of Capt. Overs company, who had acted as
guards at the Atheneum during Williams
former imprisonment there, and who were
very much surprised to recognise that in
dividual among the new recruits. He was
at once arrested and committed as above
stated. About fifty dollars in money was
found upon his person, together with re-
ceipt from the Adams Express Company,
showing that he had lately sent about Eve
hundred dollars to his mother, in Indian
apoliS. Capt Over telegraphed to have
the money stopped, that it may be returned
to the county or city from which it was
stolen. Williams had enlisted in Pitts
burgh, and was known among his COM
rades as John Hymen.
