In our Yesterdays issue, we published
an extract from the Charleston Cour-
fer, in relation toa proposed expedi-
ton against Atlanta; to be composed of
from 5000 TO 10000 men, which it was
supposed would be sufficient to recap
ture the city. True, the Courier and
other papers quoted by it, did not ex-
actly know where the men were to come
from, but then it was pretty sure they
would be there, at the proper time, and
the Atlanta refugees were advised to
prepare at once to return to their
homes. Haa
True, on the whole, this looked Ike
rather grim joke; but every reader of
the Courier was expected to believe it.
But by this time, it is highly probable
that they have, been undeceived, and
the resulting disappointment must be
deep, and in proportion to the height
and unreasonableness Of the expecta-
tions raised
In the light of the present situation,
it is not inappropriate to compare few
of the promises of the rebel leaders, with
their performance.
The Richmond Wing of oct. Both
says:
OF the present forward movement Of
Hood the Macon Intelligencer says it
will neccgsitdfe he complete evacuation Of

about the desolated and blood crowned
city.
The Memphis Appeal, now published
at Montgomery, states that advices from
the army Of Tennessee, worthy of cred
it and that msy be prudentially repeat
ed, continue of cheering character.
After cur successes on the railroad be-
low Chattanooga, of which we have not
full advices, Sherman engaged himself
in getting his forces in position to pro-,
tect and repair the road, while in the
meantime our forces were massed at s.
pointo the Coosa, and preparations matt

o'clock on Saturday morning last the
columns were put in motion-where to
was a matter of conjecture.
The troops were in fine spirits, and
full of joyful antieipations as to the
prospects before them. They had been
addressed by Generals Hood, Beaure-
gard and Cheatham, the first of whom
Informed them that they were about
starting on fifteen days march, but
whittier they were not informed Our
opinion is that, in the absence of his
railroad communications, sherman viii

able TO meet this new movement of the
Army of Tennessee
The Richmond Examiner of Novem-

From the accounts we get it seems
TO be a settled fact that General Hood

says:
The army has moved. The troops
are gone. The last train has disappear
