Saturday Afternoons Report.
sHERMAN's VICTORY.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.
The Herald's Washington special of the
I'd, says: There is great rejoicing in Wash
ton over the news in our possession. 1t ap-
pears while the rebel cavalry were operat-
ing upon Sherman's rear, that officer was
prosecuting his movements successfully,
and at III o'clock this morning entered
the city of Atlanta and found that his
combination had compelled its evacua-
ton by Hood The transmission of this in
telligence over the wires, which have been
cut for several days, proves that Rousseau
has been successful in his effort to dislodge
the cavalry expedition Of Forrest, Wheel
er and Morgan, and driving them from the
road.
The capture of Atlanta secures the whole
of the State of Georgia, and renders the
condition of the rebel leaders more desper-
ate than ever before. It was by an apps-
rent retreat, one of those mastery strategic
movements for which this General has been
so noted, that he has been enabled to
achieve so brilliant result. 1t is now well
known that Hood has added materially to
his strength by the conscription Of numer-
GUS BOYS and old men, who, behind works
could render very good service. Outside OF
the works, this very strength would prove
a great weakness and terrible cost of pow
der and provender:
The purpose of Sherman, in the move
ment which began on the night of the
26th, was to deprive the rebel commander
of this strength and his protection of the
works at Atlanta. In other words, Sher-
man hoped by fanking Atlanta, and cut
ting off his supplies, to force Hood to fight
and thus with his largely preponderating
force of veteran troops to whip him in an
open field. With this view, Sherman
moved on the night in question with TWEEN
ty days rations, and all Of his army e1

The telegraph lines between Nashville

There is authority for stating that an
arrangement has been entered into between
our own and the rebel government where
by the condition of our prisoners, in rebel
hands will be materially benefited. Col.
0uld, the Rebel Commissioned of Exchange,
submitted proposition to our Government
agreeing to release all prisoners of war in
their hands, in close confinement, and those
in irons, and put them upon the footing of
other prisoners of war, provided our Gov
ernment would do the same towards the
rebel prisoners. Our Government accepted
the proposal and Colonel Ould has been
notified of the fact.

SECOND DISPATCH.
Especial to Cleveland LEADER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.
1t is understood here that there would be
no draft in New York City. The naval
enlistments have completed the City's
quota. 1t is probable that the draft will
not be enforced for three or four weeks to
come, as it will require neraly
all that time to arrange credits, &c.
The circular recently issued by the War
Department requiring all officers who are
promoted, to re-enlist for the three years,
causes great complaint in the army ana
navy, and many officers refuse to accept
their commissions on those terms. The
President, who has been appealed to- has
referred the whole matter to General
Grant, much to the satisfaction of the par
ties interested.

cept the goth Corps (Slocum's), which had
been withdrawn from the front of Atlanta
to ChattahoOchie Bridge, and was there to
remain as a corps of observation, and to
occupy Atlanta in the event of Hood
abandoning it. 1t was also employed to
look after our communications and hurry
forward by railroad supplies to whatever
new position Sherman might assume.
The army is reported to have moved in
the following order: 23d Corps (Seho-
feld's) in advance, followed by the 14th
Davis, 18th (Logan's), 10th (Ransom's),
18th (Blair's), and 4th (Stanley's), in the
order named, all making flank movements,
with strong skirmish lines on either flank
and front and rear. East Point was left to
the east, and at dawn Hood found Sher-
man gone.

For the amusement of the King of Spain
on his visit to the French Court, thsre will
be a grand fete in Versailles, at which all
the ladies and gentlemen are to appear in
the costume of Louis XIV, period. A
play of Moliere's is likewise to be perform
ed on a scale of unprecedented grandeur.
Psyche is said to be the performance
chosen, because of the opportunity it af-
fords for gorgeous dressing. The play is
the combined work of Corneille and Mo-
lliere, and being quite out of the range of
the genius of either, is most pompous
and wearisome production.
An international cricket match took
place lately at Hamburg, and resulted in
a brilliant victory for the Eleven of France,
who yanquished their antagonists in a
single innings. The Eleven of Germany
scored forty eight the first innings and
twenty-five the second. The Eleven o.
France scored one hundred and ff-
teen, thus winning at once by forty two.
The bears of Berne have had an excite
ment among themselves. Not long age
three cubs were gamboling in tree placed
| in the pjt for them to climb, when one o.
them fell from the highest branch, and was
SO much hurt that it bled profusely. Two
bears a year old, which happened to be a
the foot of the tree, infuriated by the sigh
of the blood, Immediately fell on the poo
animal and tore it to pieces, in spite Of al
the efforts of the keepers to deter them.
Since the opening Of the season, q, "a
visitors have arrived at Baden, 1883 a

900 persons left the city by single rail
road line.
One boy, the other day, borrowed sticl
OF candy from another boy, to show tina

ten that part Of the trick.

OFFICIAL FROM SHERIDAN'S COM
MAND,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.
The following official dispatch was re-
ceived last night:
The enemy are on the move down the

cavalry from some point north of Bunker
Hill to within six miles of Winchester,
when his advance was stopped by division
of infantry.
Averill captured twenty wagons, two
battle flags, number of prisoners, and
herd of cattle. He then moved towards

THE SURRENDER OF FORT MORGAN
Compelled 90 CapiIuIafe in Twenty
four Hours.

From the New York Herald's CORES
pOndence we gather the following details :;
At twenty minutes to seven o'clock on
Tuesday morning, August 23d, 1864, Fort
Morgan, mounting sixty heavy guns and
containing a garrison of six hundred men,
surrendered unconditionaly to the COM
biued torces of the army and navy of the
United Ststes, after bombardment of less
than twenty-four hours.
DETAILS OF THE SURRENDER.
On Sunday evening General Granger
notified Admiral Farragut that he would
be ready to open the siege next morning
at daylight. That night the Admiral with
his feet took position in line of battle, and
Monday morning at five o'clock we opened
on Morgan with thirty guns of various
calibre, and sixteen eight and ten inch
mortars, and in a short time three monitors
and several wooden vessels opened-the
former with eleven and ifteen-inch shells,
and the latter with rifed thirty-two pound
ers. The firing continued with great vigor
and extraordinary accuracy until dark,
when the feet withdrew, and the firing
was continued only at intervals by the
shore batteries.
THE FORT WAVES A SIGNAL LANTERN TO
THE FLEET.
It was explained next morning by Gen
eral Bailey that he saw some of the garri-
son 20 down to the beach and wave Ian
tern to the feet, evidently a signal of sur
render. The General watched this move
ment steadily from position he had eau
tiously obsained very close up to the glacis
of the fort. After watching half an hour,
the rebels finding the feet made no answer
to their signal, probably because it wss
not seen, or, if seen, not understood, with
drew to the fort without attempting to
signal the army.
Being finally compelled to surrender,
THE REBELS MARCH OUT.
Accordingly, at precisely two o'clock,
the rebel army, numbering probably lit
tie over six hundred, marched out at the
main sally-port without music and without
banners, and were drawn up in line at the
foot of the glacis fronting toward the bay.
| Two regiments of Union infantry-the
/ 34th Iowa and goth Wisconsin-preceded
by brass badd, playing aHail Columbia, I"
and with the stars and stripes and the
colors of their respective States floating
proudly above them, marched by, and
halted about five PAGES in front Of the
