~ ate States--The Directors of the Young

folly, but earnestly, submit to the benevolent snd

appeal in behalf Of the soldiers families In this

devastated counties of Virginia alone, but from
nearly every State OF the Confederacy have sough,

eiok and wounded soldiers, to furnish shoes and
clothing for soldiers In the feld and hospital and to

In written report from tho Clothing Bureau 1t
appears tnst there are more than three thousand
females In this city who are seeking empIoyment
from the Government in vain, and that those who
obtain work are not fully employed. The wages
received FOR their work Will not enable these poor
women to procure sufIicepcy of the plaine4t food

then, from the city and country generally, many
instances Of actual starvation must have occurred
Our City Council has made most liberal appropria-
tions for the purchase of supplies, both for grxtu

To the Editor Of the Press;
The paragraph in your paper of yesterday
announcing the sudden death of Washington
Wilks, Esq, OF London, will not fail, where
ever he was known, to cause deep regret and
sorrow in the heart OF every lover of his race
and especially in the people of this country,
who are trying to sustain and uphold all that
is worth living for, a free government.
1t was my fortune while in Europe TO hear
much of this champion of the North, and his
advocacy In favor OF the preservation OF the
Union, and | am happy TO say that at the last
meeting, and one of the largest / attended In
England which was held in the Free Trade
Hall in Manchester, Mr.. Wilks was one of the
speakers, and as lover of humanity and
everything that is good, | was very soon in
love with him; simple, artless, but bold, elo-
quent, anu mighty for the truth, be swayed

From Gen. shermon--He hotis the Railroads
ing torora1ty.
WASHINGTON, July %
Official information from Gen. Sherman rep
resents every thing progressing highly salts
iactorily.
Day before yesterday our army was engag-
ed all day with the enemy, who were steadily
driven on into their entertainments.
The city is in plain view OF our troops
Our shells can reach IL. Our army is in excel
lent condition.
Five miles of the railroad between Atlanta
aud Decatur have been DESTROYED, and The
road rendered useless TO the rebels.
The National Republican has the following /:
Official advices from Gen. Sherman re-
ceived this morning, cover the operations
down to last night. The work of Investing
the city is fast going on. The hard fighting
Of yesterday resulted in the repulse of The en-,
envy in their efforts 10 dislodge our TROOPS
Gen. Palmer advanced his lines to a more nd
vantageous position. Our loss during the day
was small.
Gen. Sherman holds the railroads leaning
from Atlanta towards Richmond, therefore
Johnston cannot escape by that route. The
Gully chance of leaving Atlanta is by two roads
south 10 Macon, and southwest to West Point
aud Mobile.
Ii Johnston escapes by either of these
routes, he will be obliged TO move quickly.
1t Il a well settled proposition in mi itary
circles that the rebels can better afford to lose
Atlanta than Johnston's army.
1t may possibly be tru. that Longstreet is al
ready in command OF it.
