Governor Brown, of Georgia. in view Of the
proximity Of sherman, has also appointed this

The Macon Telegraph has a long editorial on
the situation at Atlanta, in which it urges the
Confedcrates 20 reposscss this important place
and says We trust the Government will send
every available man to reinforce General Hood.
It is Of the greatest importance that Atlanta
shall be recovered from the enemy and his cam

activity and sound policy are observed.
Rebel Losses at Aflsnta.
The statements Of the extent of our losses of
stores, ordnance and ammunition at Atlanta arc
contradictory. The Columbus S,U Of the 9th
instant, says that they were very heavy; that
before Atlanta was lost all our railroad stock that
had been retained was destroyed, and it amounted
to more than one hundred and fifty cars, and
several engines. Eighteen of the cars were heavily
loaded with ordnance stores; among which were
about five thousand splendid Enfield or Tower
muslets, entirely new, with all their equipments;
a large number Of brides, saddles, cqntccns
with splendid web slings, sword bayonets, axes,
shoyels, and other hardware in large quantities.
About three million rounds of cartridges, and
ammunition of all kinds, and of the very finest
quality and character, were fired.

The possession of the Weldon railroad by the

brings Grant three or four miles nearer the Dan

and better line than that by way of Weldon,
which we found sufficient for the wants OF the

will still continue and the organizations as soon

Sirom notice issued by the Mayor, by permits

v, thereof
All citizens are required to leave Atlanta and
proceed either south or north.
The Government will furnish transportation
t.south as far as Rough and Ready, and north as
I far as Chattanooga.
All citizens may take their movable property
with them, and transportation will be furnished

Z Negroes, who wish to do so, may go with their
Z masters, and all other male negroes will be put
in Government employ, and the women and

General SheTman's order Of the 4th inst. conf
mences thus :-"The city Of Atlanta, being held
exclusively for warlile purposes, will at once be
vacated by all except the armies of the United
States and such civilian employees as may be
retained by the proper department of the Govern
ment;" and concludes as follows :-"At the
proper time just arrangements will be made for
the supply to the troops Of all articles they may
need, over and above clothing, provisions &C.,
j furnished by the Government and on no pretcnce
whatever will traders, manufacturers, or suffers
be allowed to settle within the limits of fortified
places, and if they manage to come in, in spite Of
this notice, the quartcrmaster will seize the stores
and appropriate them to the use of the troops
and deliver the parties and other unauthorized
persons who thus place their individual interests
above that Of the United States, in the hands of
some provost marshal, to be put to labor on the
fort, or be conscripted into one Of our regiments
andbatteries already in service.
The same general principles will apply to all
military posts south Of Chattanooga.
