wAsmrNoroS, July 25.-Thc EspaJU,aa has
issued an extra with the following Information
from General Sherman's Army -
Dispatches to the Government represent that a
great battle was fought In Atlanta on Frilay, re-
shifting in horrible slaughter, aud complete
repulse Of the enemy at every point.
The enemy, holding the largest part Of the city,
assaulted our works on Friday with grca: fury,
evidently expecting to drive our forces out Of
the city.
The 10Th Corps, commanded by Frank Blair
seemed to be the special Objec; ofthe Rebel wrath
as the enemy massed against It an overwhem-
ing force.
The "l5th" received the shock gallantly, and
held its own until General Dodge, with the 10Th
Corps came up, when the Rebels were hurled
back with great slaughter.
General Logan, at the head of the l7th Corps
went into battle with the rallying cry Of RE
member McPherson." This corps, as we'll as
Blair's 18th Corps, both constituting the army
under MajoryGeneral Mcpherson, fought dospe-
rately, the news of their brave commanders
death having been communicated to them Just
before going into battle.
: General MCPHERSON was shot while recon-
nOitring. lie having become separated from his
staff for moment, Rebel shlrpshooter shot
| him from an ambush.
The terrible struggle ended by repulsing the
| enemy ut every point on the line. 1t was ar.
ranged that on Saturday the dead of both
armies should be buried, and the wounded re-
moved under a hig of truce. The Union troops
buried one thousand Rebels, left on the field
within our lines; besides, the Rebels buried many
of their own dead near their own works.
Upon this basis il is estimated that the Rebe
killed and wounded on Friday, will exceed 5000
the average of killed and wounded in battle being
about seven wounded to one killed. Our loss vii
reach about 2jOO in killed and wounded-the l5tt
Corps suffering severely, for the reason named
above, that the enemy massed against il. l: wal
this act of the enemy, in part, that cost him such
| heavy loss.
While the work Of burying the dead and re.
moving his wounded was going on on Saturday
! Sherman's heavy artillery was playing upon the
| city. At the same time large fires were observed
| IN different parts of Atlanta, supposed to be the
destruction of supply depots and such other pro.
perty as they could not convey away, and did
not wish to have fall into our hands
This was considered evidence of on intention
| by the enemy to eyacuate the place.
Several Rebel generals are reported killed bu
thier names are not given.

BALTIMORE, February ia morning paper
publishes the following:
The express passenger train which left the
Chambers street. depot Thursday night for
Wheeling. was captured by company OF guer-
rillas near Kearneysvile Depot, eight miles west
of Harper's Ferry. The train was then sur
rounded by the rebels. and number of armed
meu entered the cars The passengers, among
whom there was great CONSERVATION, were more
or less molested in the way of ransoms-some
produced greenbacks. others watches, diamond
pins. &c, as equivalents for their liberty. We
are informed by one Of the sufferers no returned
by the express train Yesterday that The aggregate
amount Of money taken was not less than 49,
600. while the value of the jewelry was much
greater.
Conductor Perry, who had charge or the train,
it was stated. was compelled to- hand over a
check for 81 600. the property of the company.
A number of passengers who arrived yesterday
had interviews with some Of the passengers of the
captured train. Their statements widely differ.
both as to the amount of money, &c, con6s-
Gated. and the character of the raiders. 1t is
said that Major Harvey Gilmore. OF the rebel
cavalry, was in command No hurt,
nor was there the slightest disposition on the part
Of the rebels to take any prisoners.
Several members of the Maryland Legislature.
delegates from the western counties, were among
the passengers.
After accomplishing their purpose. they ran
the locomotive off the track. causing some ia.
jury. They then left the train, going toward
Smithfeld. Va
Although company of Federal troops were
within short distance none of the passengers
were able TO get any Information to them in time
The robbery of the ahrighted passengers was
very general; not one of them escaped. One man
is said to have lost over 81 900 in greenbacks.
The passenger made no resistance supposing
they were surrounded by an overwhelming force
of rebels A good many threw their articles and
money away. some of which have since been
found.
