To Mgjor General Dir:
Sherman's official report of the cap
tnre of Atlanta has been received, dated
26 miles South OF Atlanta, at 6 o'clock
yesterday morning. 1t has been de-
tanned by the breaking of the telegraph
lines already r>ported. Our army with
drew from about Atlanta on the Both

road and reached good position from
which to strike the Macon road. Slo-
cum was on the right, near Jonesboro,
and Scho6eld on tho left. Howard
found the enemy near Jonesboro and
ehtrench ed his troops within half a
mile of the Railroad. The enemy at
tackled him at 3p. NJ, and was easily
repulsed, leaving his dead and wounded.
Finding strong opposition On the road,
advanced tn! left and centre rapidly
to the Railroad and made good lodge
ment and broke it all the way from
'Rongh and Ready" down to Howard,
near Jonesboro. Threw my whole ar
my between Atlanta and that part of
the enemy entrenched in and around

We made general attack on the en-
envy at Jonesboro. The l4th CORPS

works with 10 guns aod about 1000
prisoners. The enemy retreated South.
We followed MIN to his hastily con-
structed works near Lovejoy's Station

that he could retreat BY, and between
him and considerable part of his ar
my, blew up the magazine in Atlanta,
aud left in the night The goth corps
(Gcn. Slocum) took possession Of the
city. So, Atlanta Is ours and fairly
won. 4 .r.-.
Since the 5th of May we have been
in one constant battle or skirmish, and

coed 1900, and we have, of the enemy,
300 dead $50, wounded. and over 500
prisoners. :.s..' .*:.., ..,..

General Sherman had with him, in his
Georgia expedition, one of the best and
most reliable ''scouts" in the Southwest
an old man. a native Georgian. and n
wealthy planter and STAKEHOLDER at that.
1t would not be proper, of course, to meu-
ton his name, but it is well known to all
who visited headquartersa year ago When
the war broke out, he denounced the
Southern leaders, and in consequence of
his Union sentiments was compelled to
leave his home, near Macon, between two
days. His neighbors missed him, and
su>pecting rightly that he had gone off to
JOIN the Yankees, they followed him so
closely that he was obliged to hide in the
mountains for several weeks They have
since organized all kinds of raids for no
other OBJECT than to catch this old man.

since last June. There is not high way
nor byway In the interior Of Georgia with
which he is unacquainted, ADD scarcely

He used to say that with brigade of
cavalry, he could find cotton and niggers
