The purpose Of Gen. Sherman In the move
ment which began on the night Of the 26th,'
was to deprive the rehel commander, Gen.
Hood, Of tIls strength, and Of h,s protection
Of tbs works At Atlanta, In other words,
Sherman hoped BY hsnkipg Atlacta> and
cutting of bis Eupplits to force Hood out to
fight. aaa thus, with his largely preponder-
asIng force OF veteran troops, TO whip him In
an open field. With this view Soernau moved
on the night in question With twenty days
rauone, and all his army, exce:t the 12th
corps {s1ocnm's) which bad been withdrawn
from the front of Atlanta to Chattahoochee
bridges, there to reuain al corps of OBJ
eervat.on, and to occupy Atlantis In the event
Of Hood abandoning It.
The result {s briefly and aucc'nctly told bv
General 6hermsn. Hood. finding be had lost
the only road that could supply him. and
between him and considerable part Of his
a1mv, blew up the nagazi 1e In Atlanta, and
left In the night The Goth Corps, General
Slocum, took possession Of The city. So
Atlanta is ours, and fairly Won. Aud the
capture Ct At1tnta secures the possssslon OF
the whole State Of Georgsa. and reud .rs the
copditiun Of the r bel 1:adtrs m ore dsspet-

shhred by their accompices in the recent
