The: SITUATION AT ATLANTA.-A
prominent citizen of Atlanta, who was5de-
tanned there until Sunday last, makes the
following statements o.the editor Of the
Columbus Times, Of the situation of affairs
at that points: "He says that the Yankee
reports of large numbers Of trains having
arrived at that point loaded with supplies
are false; that only four through trains have
arrived since Wheeler started on bis expe.
dition. The Yankee army has been con-
solidated into three corps-commanded
respectively by Howard, Thomas and slo-
cum. The two first have gone in the :di.
rection of Chattanooga. The last is in At
lanta, closely guarded by GeneratsIverson's
cavalry, which capturesor kills every Yan.
kee wEo shows himself outside the trenches.
In addition to the loss Of horses from star
walton, many are dying from glandersr-a
disease fatal and epidemic in its character. I"
The Sun, of the 18th, says parties who
left Atlanta on the 7th, report that the
Federals nave nothing but hard tack to eat,
that the whole of their army except one
corps, have left the city, and that.they are
very uneasy in reference to their situation.
No trains were arriying. They.say the
stories relative to the large quantity of sup
plies having been storedin Atlanta are with
out foundation; but that Sherman's depot
of supplies had not been moved from Vi
ning's Station and Gainesville.

FILLING UP THE RANKs.-A late order,
issued from the Office; of the Adjutant and
Inspector General, orders the chiefs Of the
Bureau of Ordnance and of the Nitre Bu.
reau to turn over, without delayapne fifth Of
all the force employed in their respective
bureaux, including contractors and other
employees. y. -
This order will put into the field almost
as many. men, if not more, than we're pro-
cured by the revocation Of details Of pro.
ducers-the whole number Of men who have
been detailed as farmers on this side Of the
Mississippi riverbeing 4,4s5:
HE only objection to this order is that
portion of it.whioh says: 'tThree days are
allowed for the execution of this order at:
rits reception at any post or station OF
the different departments" This time will
be too shortsto prevent inconvenience to the
public service. from the sudden cessation Of
labor and the inability Of contractors to
wind up their affairs. ~ -:

A Rich Incident.

This afternoon on Conductor Lymac's train,
coming from Milwaukee to La Crosse, we saw
the richest mistake Of the season. In the fourth
sea; from the stove in one of the passenger cars,
sat gentleman and lady, sweet and gushing as
the fairy ones of olden times. His arm encircled
her waist in bear-like squeezing-hls one hand
toyed with her ribs-his other hand wandered
around her amplitude and bonnet strings, like
lost child in berry patch, seeking place to
rest and his eyes were fixed upon the face of
his fair companion with all the earnestness of
Romeo. In short they were the observed Of all
Observers In the next seat back of the couple
alluded to, sat n demure looking lady, naturally
interested in the display of affection in front of
her 50 natural and touching. When the cars
entered the tunnel the gentleman was standing
rs the stove for It moment. When part way
through, and while all was dark AS night, he
2ropcl his way back-and just as the train be-
gan to emerge into the least glimmer of light,
was a veil which startled the entire load of pas
sengers The poor fellow had gone one seat too
far back and seated himself in the wrong seat,
and MAS trying his best to kiss the demnre lady,
who couldnt see it, He lit out in a hurry,
and with the most sheepish look we ever saw,
took his place beside the girl while the specta-
tors vere conyulscd with laughter .-La Crosse

Invitation To

Dear Carrollton Rose come and dine with me-
Nice little things we will have, we three.
Spicy and wholesome our food shall be.
Crabs and small schrimps, with chicken or two
One duck done in olives and wine for YOU
And of veal we will have delectabe stew.
Berries we'll have all fresh from the vine,
To help for dessert with your brown sherry wine
To use in toast for friend Of mine.
Yes, deep in the goblet your heart it must dip.
God bless him must issue from every lip;
We three must repeat it at every sip.
God bless him the Doctor who came to me.
Who spoke so kindly and cheerily,
When was worn down SO YEARLY.
God bless him health to the Doctor dear
pont you? Iwish he was only here,
Our quiet circle to finish and cheer.
We will fold him napkin aud place him q chair
And fancy him seated ius5opposte there
While still the God bless him shall be my hearts
prayer. Farm.
