they never defended at all. They threw
away or broke the weapons which they had
not the manlincss to use against the enemy.

commencement Of the bbmbardment and
the advance pickets Of our army were actu-
ally in its glacis. As before stated, the
surrender took place at 2 o'clock PM. the

New Orleans in the U. s. steamers IenRes-
see and Bienriile, where they arrived safely.
(Signed) FARRAGUT.
New York, Sept. 2.-The results Of the
victory at Mobile may be summed up thus !:
We compelled the evacuation of Fort Pow.
ell, surrender of Fort Gaines, and almost
destroyed and compelled the surrender Of
Fort Morgan, heretofore considered the
strongest fOrtifcation in the United States /;
taken 1900 prisoners. 100 pieces Of cannon,
vast quantity of small arms and munitions
of war, also provisions enough to feed the
garrison for six mouths. We have captured
and have ready for use the ram Tennessee,
the strongest war vessel afOat; also several
other war vessels. We have penned up
three English blockade runners. All this
cost the army one killed and ten wounded,
the loss of the TeeUmseh and part of her
crew, and very few casualties on another
ship.
The Bristol CVa.) Gozele says: The
Union cavalry, which charged into Rogers
vile, captured J. b Heyskill, Col. Walker,
Lit. Blevins, and the Provost Marshal, to-
gether with 10 privates. Three of the pri-
Yates were shot down in cold blood by a
deserter from the rebel army. In the mean
time, the artillery had been sent from Len
noxville to the vicinity of Bulls Gap, while
heavy force Of cavalry advanced in that
direction on the 23d, aud attacked the rebels,
who fell back to Boonsboro. Welearn that
the Yankees advanced to within few miles
Of Kingsport.

Tennessee represents the condition Of our
people in that section Of country as becom-
ing more distressing.

routed the rebels at JonesborO, and destroyed
the railroads north and south of the town.
They intend to hold possession Of Jonesboro,
and so compel Hood to fall back. The

New York, Sept. S.-Great rejoicing is
felt this morning over the glorious news
from Sherman's army. Atlanta has fallen,
and is now in possession. OF the victorious
legions Of the Republic! II appears that
while the rebel cavalry were operating in
Sherman's rear, that oilicer was prosecuting
his movements successfully, and at eleven
O'Clock this morning entered Atlanta, and
found that his combinations had compelled
Hood p eyacuate the city. The transmits
sion OF this intelligence over the wires,
which had been cut for several days, proves
that Rosseau has been successful in his eff
fort to dislodge the cavalry expedition un-
der Wheeler, Forrest and Gordon, and has
driven them from the road. The capture
OF Atlanta secures possession OF the whole
State OF Georgia and renders Il . condition
OF the rebel leaders more desperate than
before. 1t was BY one Of those mastery
strategic movements, for which Sherman
has become noted, that he has been enabled
to achieve this brilliant result.
