PHILADELPHIA, Oct 28.
Files of Southern papers have been re-
ceived up TO Friday last They are mainly
occupied with news from the army in
Georgia.
The Richmond Wig, of the 2lst, review
ing affairs in Northern Georgia, says
the campaign in that State has become
intensely absorbing. General Hoods move
ments are regarded with much solicitude.
This movement places Hocd in Sherman's
rear, cutting off the supplies of the latter
without sacrificing those of the former.
The view taken by the SsntiHel is both
cheerful and exceedingly favorable to our
cause.
Hoods sagacious plan has placed his ad-
versary in extreme danger and embarrass-
ment, from which it seems impossible for
him to extriCate himself without largo loss.
Hood will not drive but draw Sherman out
of Georgia and thus force him to follow him
up to Tennessee ard perhaps as far as
Kentucky.
Regardingthe same subject, the Examiner
thinks that campaign IN Georgia must re-
suit in the destruction and capture of the
whole of Sherman's force, and the would
be expectations of the whole Confederate
States be fulfilled, that the entire Yankee
army must be destroyed.
Instead of the result being that Sherman
has taken Atlanta, we must make Atlanta
take him.
The Montgomery appeal speculates
thus:
The Federal commander is endeavoring
to work out the salvation Of his army and
save Atlanta very vigorously. He knows
he cannot delay making connection to the
rear very long that he had such knowledge
of Gen, Hoods purposes before the late
campaign on our part was commenced, as
10 cause him to send two corps North of
Chattaboochie, and that these were found
strongly posted on the railroad between
Vaningo and Marietta by our advance, has
heretofore been stated in these columns.
These left Atlanta two weeks since, and
the 18th, 18th and 18th Army Corps were
| concentrated north of East Point, and on
the I'd instant these crossed the Chattahoo-
chez at Sandtoyn, and the ferries above
Erie. Thus Sherman has united columns
with which he intends to operate against
Hood. That quick work, and battle any
| day, may Be expected, we beliye, because
we think the enemy is necessitated % get
! rid of our army. They CAN'T rest ct At
lsnta. They must tight, and that quickly,
and, Fortunately. this time they can only
get battle at such points as Hood may SO
| Iect. They must be the attacking party.
Their force may be, sad probably is, few
thousend stronger than our own, but if
Hood acts wisely IN choosing position the
difference viii vanish, unless we have been
greatly deceived es to the strength and
spirits of the Army of Tennesseoi Wehave
no fears IS to tho result.
The correspondent of the Montgomery
Appeal says:
We wait the events at Marietta with
| deep anxiety. The Yankees in East Ten
nessee will come down in Hoods rear, For
/ fsst will come down in their rear, Rose
crans yill come in his rear, Breckenridge
will come in the rear of Rosei rams, and a
precious hotch-poteh We Eill have of it,
Spoon twill be made or tho horn will be
Examiner says:
Our Government must not admit Buffers
conduct as an eet OF retaliation, or it will
be on our part when VIC put al equal mum
! Der of Yankees at hard labor at the most
exposed parts of our own works.
