By the HeralGs correspondent it appears
that General Sherman has sent the 4th
Corps to Decatur, to operate against Hood.
while, with the remaining five corps of his
army, he has moved to Atlanta, and is in
all probability about to inaugurate an often

ing for the time the existence of Hood, or
leaving him to prosecute his campaign into
TennaSsee at his leisure. a-tt
