on the right in the rear of Roseyille. Gen. SherO

The Atlanta COnfederacy says; eve shall not
attempt to lull our readers into fancied security
by the declaration tEat Atlanta is not in immi-
hent danger. It's capture, however, cannot be
regarded as fOregone conclusion. If Johnston
cannot make a successful battle or hold the en-
envy in check along the Chattahoochie, be cannot
DO so anywhere below, and can only temporarily
cheek them, which, in that event, would be the
capture of Atlanta-placing it at the feet of its
tapac6us invaders to stay their appetites for con-
quest. Doubtless the Federal Government would
be satisfied with the capture OF Atlanta, which
they would garrison, fortify, and use as base of
future operations.

dan with two brlgades of cavalry is moving tow
