WAsHINGToN, Sept 2.
The latest information from the army Of
the Potomac is that all was quiet yester-
day.
A number of shells have been thrown
into Petersburg, from the monster l5-inch
mortar, to deter the rebels from firing on
our pickets, and seems to have the desired
effect.
The Navy Department has received Off
cial dispatches from Farragut-
1t appears that the rebel General Page
endeavored to obtain more favorable terms,
but was obliged to surrender Fort Morgan
Internationally.
Farragut states that he has reason to
believe that most of the guns were spiked
and the gun carriages wOntonly injured,
afterthe white flag had been raised. 1t was
also discovered that General Page and
several of his officers had no swords to de-
liver, and several were broken that were
surrendered

The following IS the concluding portion
ofAdmiral Farragut's official dispatch to
the Navy Department:
The whole conduct of the officers of forts
Gaines and Mogsn presents such striking
contrast in moral principle, that cannot
fail to remark upon it, Col. Anderson,
who commanded the former, finding him
self in perfectly untenable position, and
encumbered with superhuous number OF
conscripts, many of whom were mere boys,
determined to surrender fort which he
could not defend, and in this determine
tion was supported by all his officers save
one. But from the moment he hoisted the
white flag he scrupulously kept every
thing intact, and in that condition deliver
ed it over, whilst Page and his officers,
with childish spite, destroyed the guns,
which they said they would defend to the
last, but which they never defended at all,
and threw away or broke those weapons
which they had not the manliness to use
against their enemy.
Fort Morgan never fred gun after the
commencement of the bombardment, and
the advance pickets of our army were ao-
tually on its glacis.
As before stated the ceremony of sur
render took place at two o'clock ?. NJ
and that same afternoon all the gSrrisons
we're sent to New Orleans in the United
States steamers Tennessee and Bienville,
where they arrived safely.
Very respectfully,

GENERAL: In reply to your communl-
cation of this date, received by Captain

with all the public property within Its
limits, and in the same condition in which

sherman in Atlanta.

General Sherman Is reported to have en-
tered Atlanta at nine o'clock yesterday
morning. The movement by which he
entered the place must have been very
bold one. We know that several days ago
portion of his army was Withdrawn north
OF the Chattahoochee, while the remainder
was moved from positions northwest and
southwest of the city, upon its southern
communications, thus cutting of the only
means of supplying Atlanta with prOvi-
sions necessary for the rebel army. The
rebel forces collected at that place, counting
militis and others, have been estimated as
high as eighty thousand. 1t was known
that Hood had but very small sup
ply of provisions, so that, in case Of being
cut off it was absolutely necessary that ne
should retreat to the east or boldly come
out of his Notifications and give battle
The probabilities are that Hood was obliged
to come out of Atlanta and fight, thereby
putting it into Shermsn's power to infiet
upon him defeat which must prove disas-
astrous to the rebel cause in the Southwest.
Atlanta could not be trken by storm, ex-
eept at immense destruction Of life. The
Notifications around Atlanta are exceed
ingIy complete. In front of the forts are
two lines of infantry works protected by
the most elaborate abGttis. 1t Is but
stones throw from our rihe-pits to the enc
my's a5attis. 1t is not only braided and
matted together, but the ends are tied with
willow and walnut withes. 1t Is believed
and estimated by those best able to judge,
that one-tenth of our army at least, would
be slaughtered in an attempt to remove
the enemy's aBattis, eAevauE de friss and
and other distractions. Shernan's
plan was not therefore, to
to attack the city, but to compel the rebels
to come out and give him battle on ground
of his own choosing Atlanta once ia our
possession, it leaves an open way to Mobile,
Montgomery, Augusta Savannah and
what is better, to Andersonville and Ma
con, where so many of our prisoners are
languishing. The capture of Atlanta
must be the occasion of great rejoicing
throughout the land, and if accomplished
with a great defeat of the rebels, must
send gold down on the run, and add tens
of.thousands Of men to n firm support of
the Government. The telegraph may
bring full details.

with note from Gen. Page, proposing the

by Gen. Barley, who said the army and
