10 any punishment whatsoever without a YER
dict or legal decree. 1t is known, says the
same correspondent, that the principal elements
Of this reform will be the introduction Of the
jury system and of oral procedure. 1t is ex-
pected that this measure will be carried into
effect before the close of the current year. Such
seed implanted upon Russian soil must bring
forth good fruit, and it is reasonable to expect
that the next thirty years of Russian history,
whether their general aspect be peaceable or
warlikc, will be period Of the grandest de-
lvelopment.

1t is due to the memory Of Col. Dahlgren tt
say that the papers which the Richmond jour
nails publish as those found on his body are, in
their present shape, no doubt, forgeries. Pos
sibly there were some memoranda, though We
can see no occasion for carrying such, which
gave the hint for manufacturing these. 1t is
equally possible that the Rebels invented the
whole. Let us say, however, that with few
exceptions, the orders, whether real or fictitious,
are military and proper, and arc only perverted
into an unworthy meaning by Rebel malignity.
And there is nothing in them to be mentioned
for moment in comparison with the horrible
brutality Of tho treatment which tho remains of
this lamented officer received. 1t is q savage
and barbarous people with whom we are at war.

WASHINGTON, July "A.
{ Gen. Hoods attack at Atlanta was
concentrated against Newton's .divi-
sion, and wards, Greary's and Will
liams' division of Hooker's corps,
and Johnson's division of Palmer 5
corps. The attack was very fierce
and determined, but the battle ended
with the repulse and complete defeat
of the rebels at all points, leaving
their dead and wounded in our hands,
and the entire field in our possession.
The loss in Newton's division was on
ly one hundred, being protected by
an excellent barricade made of rails.
Hooker's corps at the same time was
making an advance, and therefore
had an open field fight with the enc
my. The loss in his corps is 1900
Gen. Hooker estimates the number
of rebel wounded lying in his front at
the. close of the engagement at 4, 900.
AT the date of Gen. Sherman's dis
patch Gems. Thomas, Mcpherson and
Schofeld were within easy shelling
distance of the of Atlanta.
A later unofficial dispatch to-day
says Gen. Thomas reports that we
hold Atlanta.
