of whisky, was not stated IN the report

Interesting from the FrOnt---Pros-
pect OF q Great Battle.

The Nashville Times, of Thursday,
says; An officer from the front informs
us that the rebels at the fronth have fallen
back within their outer line Of fortifca-
tions around Atlanta. They extend
three miles beyond the city, and
have been made very strong of late.
There are twenty thousand militia
within the entrenchmenis; everybody
able to bear arms having been pressed
into service Johnston will probably
give battle there. The rebels are NOV
ing all their supplies from Atlanta TO
Augusta, showing that they expect to
retreat.
General Sherman cannonaded the
rebels heavily last Wednesday before
crossing.
We are on the eve of highly important
events.
