The London Punch has the following
"PR1NcE BABY's CoURT CIRCULAR
The great satisfaction which was given
to the mothers of England by the faith
fnl variations about Prince Baby which
were supplied during the recent tour OF
Prince Baby's royal parents, and the de-
LIGHT which was felt in reading, in subs
seouent court circular, that he bad been
ont for an airing, has induced his friend
and godfather, Mr.. Punch, to make ar
rangements for the regular preparation
of a court circular, that shall be devoted
only to Prince Baby. The following is
the chronicle Of the past week:

he endeavored to introduce there all at

ever, to substitute the elephants for the
family of Noah.
"Wednesday.-H. r. FL. eVinced a

THE WAR NEWS.

For some days past there was rumor
current, that Gen Sherman had evacuated
and burnt Atlanta. and that he was moving
down south towards Savannah or Charles
ton. But it appears that Atlanta is safe and
IN possession of our troops, for it IS said that
on Wednesday the 9th the rebels made
three attacks upon our position there and
were each time repulsed with loss. In re-
gard to Sherman making a raid through the
South TO either of the places above named,
nothing Is said; yet such may be the fact,
for all we know
Sheridan moved his lines TO within Q
miles of Winchester in South-westerly
direction, for prudential reasons IF the
rebels intend to quarter their troops in the
valley during the winter he will be in a
much better position to watch their move
ments, than at any other point.
Every thing continues quiet before Rich
mond and Petersburg, with the exception
Of the usual picket firing.
