1he Glorious Victory at atlanta.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. s.
IN answer to request that Maj. Gen. Sher-
man would give us the details OF the late OPP
erations before Atlanta, in order to silence the
cavils of those who, in the absence of particu-
lars, were denying that these operations were,
on the whole, Federal success, we have re-
ceived the following:
atlanta, Sept. It'll 1S64.-On the 18th Au-
gnst, pursuant to plan OF which the War
Department had been lully advised, | left the
2Oth corps at Chattahoochie bridge, and with
the balance of the army l drew off from the
siege, and using some considerable artitice to
misiead the enemy, moved rapidly south
and reached West Point Railroad, near Fair
of it.
when moving east my right approached the
macon Railroad near Jonesboro', and nv left
near hongh and Ready. The enemy attacked
the right wing of the army of the Tennessee,
ana was completely beaten. On the 3ist and
curing lhe combat, pushed the left of the
centre rapidly to the railroad above. between
tough and Ready and Jonesboro'.
On the list Sept We broke up about eight
miles oil the Macon Railroad and turned on
the enemy at Jonesboro'. assaulted him and
ms lines and carried them, capturing Brig
Zen. German and about 1000 prisoners, with
eight guns and much plumber. Night alone
prevented our capturing the whole OF Hardee's
corps, which escaped south that night.
That same night Hood in Atlanta, finding
all his railroads broken and In our poss session.
blew up his ammunition. seven locomotives.
and eighty cars, and evacuated Atlanta, which
on the next day, Sept. I'd, was occupied by the
corps left for that purpose, Maj. Gen. Slocum
We followed the retreating enemy 10 near
Lovejoy's Station, thirty miles south of Allan
Ia, where finding him strongly intreuched, |
1t would not pay to assault, asswe
had already the great object of the campaign.
viz, Atlanta. Accordingly the army gradu-
slly and leisurely returned to Atlanta. and il
s now encamped eight miles south of the CITY.
md tomorrow will move to camps appointed.
1 am now writing in Atlanta, so could not
De uneasy in regard to our situation. We
have as the result of this quick, and, think,
well executed movement, tweuty-seven guns,
over 5000 prisoners, and have buried over 400
rebel dead aad left as many wounded; they
could not be removed.
The rebels have lost, beside the important
,ity OF Atlanta and stores, al least 500 dead.
900 wounded, and 5000 prisoners. Whereas
our aggregate loss will not foot up 1900
IL that is not a success, don't know what Is.

Mr.. EDITOR lit Is understood that James
Brooks and F. o. J. Smith will address the

Permit me to suggest that Smith take Ole

Advertiser of the same date, and that both
read from them what they said OF each other
during the canvass Of that year, when they
were pitted against each other as candidates
