A repentant rebel Captain who came
into the Union lines recently, says that
when the morning of the 2Sth of August
was ushered in, and the besieging armies
reported retreating across the Chattahoo-
chez, there was a grand gala day in At
lanta. Hood was in ecstacies, and ordered
his cavalry in pursuit They attacked
the Goth corps at the old Chattahoochee
bridge, near Winnings Station, supposing
it was the rear guard covering Sherman's
retreat The rebel hosts had an old fash
toned jubilee; cheer upon cheer rang
from their lines. The people assembled
at the different chapels and poured out
their souls in prayer and Thanksgiving
to God for so unexpected q delivery from
the enemy. Parties, songs, dances, mar
riages, hand shakings, and one general
confiagration Of triumphant JOY revived
pervaded the whole city, until the roar of
one hundred guns Smelling the Macon
Railroad near Jonesboro, told them how
sadly they were deceived
But on the night of the ist OF Septem-
Der there was panic in Atlanta as i'm
measurable as indescribable. There was
hurrying to and fro; the busy tramp of a
defeated host; the blanched cheeks OLA
young chieftain, conscious of having been
outgeneraled, and the deep, wild saddened
Looks oftrembling citizens, beholding their
city and homes thrown open to the eager
enemy There were strange bonfres
here, there, everywhere, in the city, fol
lowed by explosions, conclusions and
earthquakes. 1t was a night of terror
and desolation

erals, French and Mexicans have been
engaged. The details are briefly these ::
The French were marching up the Rio
Grande, preparatory to attacking NJ alta
moras; Cortinas at the head Of a Mexican
force repulsed them. Col FORD, com
mandinr the rebel force at Brownsville,
came to the aid of his friends the French,
but was forced to retire, and was finally
whipped by the gallant 9lst Illinois, who
came up from Brazos in time to have q
hand in the lic-Confederate-F FEDERAL
Mexican scrimmage Subsequently Cor
tinas chased Ford to Brownsville, whipped
him, captured the town and raised the
United States flag What Ma ximilian,
Napoleon, Sec Seward and the little oily
BeI jamin will do remains to be seen.

tersburg to terrific fire of shot and shell

IS The Washington correspondent
send q budget of interesting extracts from
the rebel papers in the interior of tn O
South, whose views of the rebellion are not
so rcse-colored as that of the papers pub
lished under the eyes of the rebel author
tiles. The merciless manner in which
the CONSUMPTION is being enforced, selling
old men of seventy and boys Of sixteen,
the proclamation ordering aliens to take
the oath of allegiance or leave the coun-
try, the offer of pardon to deserters, and
the sweeping out of provost marshals' of
fees, quartermasters' and commissaries'
departments, indicate that they are organ
izing and mastering for the last desperate
struggle.

A new style of veil coming into favor
with young ladies, is made of the fashion
able black and white figured lace, with a
fine elastic run through. the upper part,
which fits to the edge of the bonnet, and
second elastic run through the lower
part of the veil, a short distance from the
bottom, which fastens it under the chin
giving the effect Of street mask, trans
parent, but very coquettish.

Walled to DisI0yaI and DisunOn Platform

The Democratic party is nailed to
disloyal and disunion platform, which
their candidate, Gen. Mcclellan, has been
compelled to disown. The Chicago Con-
vention has resolved itself into revolu-
tionary body, subject to the orders of
August Belmont. The Meas, the organ
of the Woods, calls upon Belmont to sum
mon that Convention together to make
another candidate and make the division
complete. August Belmont is the nephew
OF Slideli and the representative Of the
Rothschilds, who are the financial repre-
sentatives of Napoleon in the Mexican
business. Turn whatever way we will,
therefore, we find Napoleon concealed
behind the peace platform, the peace pol
uclans and the rebel agents and we
assure the Amer car people and the Ad-
mlnlstration thai they have more to fear
from this fact than any of them vet real
lze. Nothing less than Northern iusur-
recuon, and the consequent transforma-
ton of this republic into two governments,
is the programme of the emperor of the
French. The question for us is, will this
programme be successful IN Y Herald
