business of selecting a candidate for the
highest Office IN the gift of the people

The city of Atlanta contains about twenty thou
sand inhabitants, five thousand of which are COM
posed of Rebel refugees and officials, who have
come thther since the war began. Three main
railroads diverge from 1t, viz: the road to Chat
tanooga, on the north; the Georgia road running
east to Charleston, and the road to the south,
which forks into that leading to Montgomery
and Pensacola, through Macon to Savannah.
The importance of its capture can hardly be over
estimated, because of the valuable strategic posi-
ton thus gained by the Union forces
The campaign of General Sherman is one of
the most brilliant ones of the whole war. Start
ing from Chattanooga early in May, he has pushed
steadily on through the enemy's country, and
opposed by General Joseph Johnston, to his OBJ
jectiye point Atlanta, having traversed a dis
tance of one hundred and thirty. eight miles.
At every step his advance was disputed by the
foe. A severe battle was fought at Tunnel Hill,
which victory resulted in the capture of Dalton.
General Sherman then pushed on his troops to
Rome and Kingston, occupying them almost
before the Rebels were aware of the presence OF
our troops. Next came Marietta, which was re-
garded as the key of Atlanta, and as such it
proved to be.
In the early part of July, General Sherman
appeared in front Of Atlanta, and cody set to
work to take it by siege. At this time Gen raj
Johnston was superseded by General Hood, on
account of the dissatisfaction with the retreating
policy which obtained with the latter. General
llOOU NJ ONCE tOOk Tue OuGuhlN6J DuJ was uudDlG
TO deter Sherman from his purpose Again and
again he flung his troops against the besiegers,
but 10 no purpose.
There are many noticeable features of this cam
paign, one of which is the steadiness with which
General Sherman advanced after he had once
started. Yet all the while he was fighting battles
defensive as well offensive, and sending out
peditions to cut important lines of communication
and otherwise harass the enemy. On the othe
hand, the Rebels constantly retreated. The few
times that they made a stand they were either
beaten in open fight, or compelled by flank
movement to leave their chosen position.

THE UNION OF THE BRITISH NORTH
AMERICAN PROVINCES.

CHARLoTTEvILLE, p. Il. L., September l.
The Convention was summoned to consider the
union of the three maritime provinces, but the
proposal Of the Canadian Government is that the
whole of British North America, from Halifax to
the Rocky Mountains, shall be united in one
Federal Government, and under one Legislature.
The Canadian deputatiOn has no official stand
ing in the convention, Canada having no interest
in the special question for which the convention
was summoned. The Canadian deputies we're,
however, soon after their arrival, invited 70 meet
the convention and present their views
There have accordingly been several meetings,
and it is understood that the whole subject of
larger confederation has been fully discussed.
These meetings, however, have all been held with
closed doors, and the proceedings have not trans
pired. The delegates in the meantime are en-
joyng the hospitalties of Charlottetown. rhe
steamer Queen Victoria awaits the conclusion of
the proceedings, when the Canadian deputation
will proceed across the Straits, and, landing at
Pictou, will make tour through Nova Scotia
and New Brunswick.
