An Atlanta 1nte1;3enecr, of Nay 20, has
come through the lines, 1t contains the fol-
lowing paragraph Of interest:
TIE SITUATION.
That the Yankees should have the temerity
to insist on assaults on our lines, after the
terrible repnlses they have sustained, il sur
prising. They surely must be infatnated
With the supposed Idea Of their overwhelm.
ing strength and numbers, or are melted to
It under the influence Of mean whisky. They
attempted at one time during the day to en-.
ter wedge between Gen. Hoods corps and
the main body Of our forces, hoping to iso-
late that position; and over"he1m them BY
q coup de main. They. were repulsed terribly
by the cool and steady fire Of our veterans,
who did not leave their commanding and i'm
pfegpable position. The army at night re-
mained nearly In the same position it occu-
pied in the morning, but with the advantages
retained Of any positions that had been
gained.
We stated on yesterday that the character
Of the firing indicated tha enemy was only
feeling our lines, and By our press dispatches
In another column, 1t will be seen TINT this
was the main feature.
On Friday, the firing commenced very.
heavy early In the morning, and continued
extensively and furiously At day; along to-
ward evening the sounds receded, seeming
to indicate retiring Of the enemy's lines.
At late hour last night the wounded
were coming In on the train in large num-
bers, thus indicating that heavy fighting had
occurred during the day, but We could not
learn any satisfactory particul re-.
ADDRESS TO TIE LADIES.
The Inte|ligtncr makes feeling address to
the ladies, In which 1t says:
Look at the desolatcd 1e1ls, ruined homes
and insulted women Of those sections where
the enemy has passed. and learn what your
tate will be II VIC are defeated. Can YOU. in
this honr Of peril hesitate to come forward
aud render what assistance you can to your
brave defenders? Upon the shoulders of &
devoted few rests the heavy responsibility
ing the undertaking more than we can &C.
complish alone. Ladies', come forward and
help ne. The Ordinary aSocationB of life
must for time be suspended. Our brave
soldiers ere etraining every nerve to win
their own and our Independence, and 80
must ne lend Ill our energies to the task Of at
tending those who require it A few Of us
have determined to remain in the city as
long as there is Confederate soldier to care
for; and We appeal to you all to lay aside
Your fears, forget your panic, dismiss all
thoughts Of running, and join us in, this no.
BIT work; and when our liberty is estab
lished. yon then can claim your share Of Its
rewards.
