 1. The American party of "A; the Fillmore Know.Nothings of '4s; the Belle and Ever ett's of 50. through the Amos Kendall orsanl- xation, were first to nominate you in Philadel bhia last December. Whsa.the German and Irish voters learn that their old enemy, the Know Nothings, crop up again in your nomi nation, they will be the last to support you

LOUISVILLE September Sin answer to
Il question that Major General Shermah
would give lis particulars of the late op
| erAtions before Atlanta, in order to silence
the cavils of those who, in the obsence OF
particulars, were denying that opera
tions there were on the whole Federal
success, we have received tho following:
ATLANTA. SEPT. 7.-On the 25th of Au-
gust, pursuant to plan of which the War
Der artnent was fully advised, left the
Twentieth Corps at Chattahooehie Bridge.
and with the balance of the army | drew
off from the seige, and using some consid.
CRADLE artihce to mislead the enemy.
moved rapidly south to the West Point
Railroad, near FairboFn on the 9th,
and broke up twelve miles of it.
Then moving east my right ap-
preached the Macon Railroad near Jones'
boro, and my left near Rough and Ready.
The enemy attacked the right wing of the
Army of the Tennessee and was completely
beaten on the 3lst, and during the com.
bat Ipushed the left centre rapidly to the
railroad above, between Rough and Ready
and Jonesboro. and on the LIST of Septem-
ber broke up about eight miles of the
Macon road, turned on tho enemy at Jones'
boro, assaulted him and his lines and car
ried them. capturing Brig.-Gen. Gowan
and about 1000 prisoners with eight guns
and much plumber. Night alone prevent
ed our capturing the whole of Hardee's
corps which escaped ssnth during the
night.
Hood in Atlanta ffnding all his railroad
broken, or in our possession, blew up his
ammunition, seven locomotives and eighty
cars. and evacuated Atlanta, which on the
next day September 2, was occupied by
the corps left for thar purpose.
Major-Geperal Slocum commanding, we
followed the retreating rebel army to near
Lovejoy's Station, thirty miles south of
Atlanta, where finding him strongly en-
trenched, concluded it would not pay to
assault, as we already had the great object
Of the campaign, viz, Atlanta. According
ly the army gradually and leisurely return
ed to Atlantas and it is now caInped eight
miles south Of the city, and tomorrow will
move to the camp appointed.
| am now writing in Atlanta. so I cannot
be uneasy in regard to our situation. We
have as the result Of this quick, and as ]
think well executed movement, twentysev-
en- guns, over three thousand prisoners. and
have buried over 400 rebel dead, and left,
as many wounded that could not be remov-
ed. The rebels have lost. besides the i'm.
portant City Of Atlanta stores, and ~ least
500 dead $500 wounded aud 5000 prison
ers, where as our aggregate loss viii not
foot up 1900, If that is not success,
don't know what is. SHERMAN,

Wailing OF Richmond Papers Over At
lGOt0.


NEW YoYK, September 9.--The Richmond
Es~,ainer of the 9th, commenting on HOOD s
official dispatch, announcing his disaster, e.,
says that, after attacking TSo enemy with
two corps, near Jonesboro, only Hardee' s
Corps was left to resist the assault of the
enemy can only be accounted for by sup
posing that after our attack failed to dis
lodge the enemy, Hood withdrew one Of
them to Atlanta, leaving Hardee to bear the
brunt alone. This he would hardly have
done had he not miscalculated the enemy's
designs. He must have believed the main
body of Sherman's army to have been in
front of Atlanta, when in fact it was on
Flint River, near Jonesboro, twenty miles
south.
The Examiner congratulates the South
that atlanta, and not the army is lost; and
says the loss of the former is nothing
while the 10. s of the latter would have been
without remedy. Inanother article the Ex-
aminer condemns the removal of Johnston,
saying he was superseded by Hood q com
nlander Of a Division, VIGOROUSLY incapable
of managing anything larger than a Divis.
ion. The result is disaster at Atlanta in
the very nick of time when such a victory
alone could save the party of Lincoln from
irretrievable ruin.
After referring to the absurdity of put
ting up and pulling down commander in
the field according to the crude views or
peevish fancies of functionary IN Rich.
mond, the Examiner continues:
"Now is it not hard, is it not cruelty
hard, that the struggle of eight millions
who sacrafce their money and their lives
who groan in the excess of exertion, who
wrench every muscle till the blood starts
with the sweat, should come to naught,
should end in the ruin of us all, that the
predictions and an'ipathes of q iitful per
sonal feelings of single man may be in,
dulged."
Again, it says, "The moral effect of the
loss of Atlanta, though it may be tempora.
ry, will be great, and it will render incalcu,
liable assistance to the party of Lincoln
and obscure the prospects of peace lately
so bright. 1t may enable them to execute
the draft ard it will diifuse gloom over the
South. This depression, however, may be
speedily relieved if the Administration has
a spark of real sense or unsellish patriot
ism. The reinsta nfent of Johnston or ap.
pointmeut of Bcauregard would at once
restore the confidence Of the country and
the army.
The Examiner says late Bristol papers
state that it is all lie about Wheeler de.
stroying the large bridge over the Tennessee
at Loudon.
The same paper says: "He seems stu
diously to avoid the enemy's bridges and
lines OF communication, and dcvotes him
self to running about the country picking
up small lots of prisoners"
The Sentinel closes an article on the sit
uation as follows: The only practical
moral we can draw from all this is that the
Confederate States never had more urgent
need of an effective army and dillgent con.
scripton, AMI vgilant leaders, and all mel
to the front, than they have at this hour"
