THE DOOMED CRY.

MoNTRosE, the spirited correspondent
Of the CHM. Commercial, writing from
Chattanooga under date of the 9TH inst,
states that an intelligent gentleman from
Atlanta, Georgia, who has been in busi-
ness there for seven years, aud had ac-
cumulatcd considerable property, had
arrived at Chattanooga. lie was origi.
nally from New England, and is n true
Union man. Ills description Of what he
saw in the Confcderacy, the sufferings
of the people, the sentiments of the in
habtants, &c, was unusually pointed
and ineligible. His statements in the
main confirm previously well authcntica-
ted reports; but regarding the fortifica-
tions, military resources Of the enemy,
available force, and other matters bearing
on impending movements, his statements
seem to b. carefully guarded. Hc be-
licvcs that the enemy can raise sufficient
provisions, such as corn and bacon, to
SuuSIot ti' hlull hu'lHH the ouinHlSl Nnhi-
paign, but that it will require n force
equal in numbers to that Of the sweeping
conscription gathers in, to work these
corngrowing plantations and manufacture
| implements of war. lie consequently
concludes that the Army Of Tennessee
will be no better of in the spring, either
/ in men, arms, or commssnry stores, than
at present. He owns that the stories ol
disaifcction and threatened mutiny in the
army are we'll founded, and that were the
| slavc-oYncrs assured that the slaves
they now possess would be secured to
them, all Georgia would elect for Instant
peace. OF other States he can not speak
from personal knowledge. For months
he has hccn cndcavoriug to escape from
the doomed Confederacy, but was foiled
by the aid of $4,000 in rebel blucback'
he hribed persons to convey him and hi'
/, family through the woods and on side
roads, from one depot to another, unit
he reached Cleveland, after a journey o
two weeks.
