The news from Gen. Sherman places
. his army at Atlanta, and almost in it
Two great battles were fought last week
the FIRST on Wednesday, within three
or four miles of Atlanta, the rebels at
lacking our lines, and being severely re-.
pulsed; the second on Friday, before At.
lants, the rebels again attacking, being
at first partially successful, but subse-
quently repulsed with great slaughter,
and driven into their Notifications around
the city. Our forces gained position
on elevated ground northeast Of the city,
and were at last accounts planting siege
guns that would command the town. 1t

our possession ere this, and there is pos.
sibility even that the rebel army would

Niagara Falls, states that, though the
movement for peace ''has had no immedi.
ate success, the pac'tication Of our coun.

manner of Vicksbure, which may be in.
