NASHVILLE, Sept 1.
From the front there Ia as ret nothing.
We have had no eomu,unicatious from Shet.
man since he left his position On the West and
started for the South of the doomed city Of
Atlanta :; nor do we expect anf till the an-
nouncement reaches us that Hood has been
Overwhelmed, and the campaign In Georgia
ended, by tue entire destruction Of the rcbs,
Military rule
Hoods army consists Of at least one.half
milttia-that IL, boys, old men, officers Of
the State, cooks, d:c.-aud Will not be very
terrible antagonists, when outside Of for
ttfica1ions; and our men, when confronting
THIN IN open fields, will not be long in dis-
pera1Dg tlcm- However, Hood has disposed
of bis forcts vers judic1ously. Veterans and
recruits are mingled together With great
care, go rs to render The whole force, in the
highest possible degree. effective. Besldss,
he will fight; aid as that ia Just to sherman's
hand, battle, IT It has not taken place, will
not be long delayed The result OF gencrul
engagement cannot be doubtful; it is fora-
shadoWed in the several struggles which took
place In the lstter part Of last month, when
Hood took-as he will never s:in be enat,lcd
to take-the offensive. The bl3ody repulsea
OF the Goth, ed anu 25th Of July will be
repeated, not only with. h.Intercst but usury.:
I do not tnink we shall hear from Sherman
for several uats; perhaps not for Hcsk
but @hen news does come, It will be such
as will cheer the heart OF every patriot, nnd
stiike dismay no every traitor. It will settle
the tongues Of thnse who expect Mcclellan
to be elected through thv aid OF rebel vic
tories.

you that the rtbe1s here preferred "LIt1Ie

the case. They sa5 OF bim that he is stronger
Than m open ptace man, and that, WIEN

Questions, II hc il not for pcaca; 1t tue plat-
