THE oANPAIGn IN GEORGIA
The New York Daily News says:
The public mind, which has been 60 absol bed in the
stirring events in Virginia, il now directed toward
Northern Georgia. The situation in that region already
assumes an interesting aspect Dalton and Rssaca have
been occupied by the Federals, though the latter was
not taken until slteF sharp fight Gen. Sherman evi-
IDENTIFY proposes vigorous campaign, and will light
General Johnston soon as be The latter pro-
verbal for his Fabian policy, and not forced will not
accept battle without he has greatly the advantage The
Importance Of the campaign in Georgia In its immediate
influence upouthe war hardly be estimated. Tocap
ture Richmond would be to take outpost The capture
Of Atlanta would be to take the citadel Of the Oonfede
rates There are situated many manufactures which
supply the Oonfederates with munitions of war.
But what is Of far greater Importance 1t is the great
centre from which radiates those railroad communities
tioDs which have hitherto proved so vAlnAble to the
South. The Western Atlantic connecting with Rome
and Chattanooga, the Georgia State road extending
southeast toward Augusta and thence connecting with
the Carolina and Virginia railroads the road to hacon
Georgia, and that to Montgomery, Alabama, with lie
southwest communications, AL centre at this point
The last named is the only road which connects Ala
bama and Mississippi with the States further east and
north IL ia tbus readily perceived what advantages
would be gained by the Federal occupation of Atlanta

Johnston Is too able General to throw away the fruits
Of victory as did his predecessor Bragg. He would
press his defeated foe that he could not enter
Chattanooga in force retake that point, and in few
weeks re occupy Tennessee and Kentucky There no
Federal force within the States named, that could with
stand the march Of his victorious columns But if it
be true that providence ayors heavy bataons" the
chances Of success with the Federal Commander
for his army vastly superior to JOhnstons in num-
bers, though not in discipline.
