The Daily Dispatch: September 17, 1864., [Electronic resource], The cruise of the Tallahassee. (search)
s of the 29th ultimo contain copious comment on the American war. The London Times cannot believe that Grant, whom it calls "a pertinacious General that no number of reverses seems sufficient to check," can intend a movement against Richmond up the north side of the river, but rather thinks that he will attempt, by such a movement, to reduce Drewry's Bluff. The same paper, on the Presidential election in the United States, says: If the Federals win — if Grant takes Richmond; Sherman, Atlanta; and Farragut, Mobile; --we may anticipate that the peace party will be discouraged, and their opponents enabled to prosecute the war. If, however, the Confederates win, and the Federals experience any signal disaster, the war party will be overpowered, while a similar result would probably follow even if neither party won, and things remained exactly as they are. This is the strong point in favor of the South. If they can only prevent the balance from being turned decisively against them,

The reception of the Yankees at Atlanta. --The accounts published by some of the Georgia papers of the welcome of the Yankees by the remaining citizens at Atlanta seem to have been much exaggerated.

The Register says: "A letter in the Atlanta Intelligencer, over the signature of 'Cantin,' is going the rounds of the papers, giving a grossly exaggerated account of the reception of the Yankees by the citizens who remained there. This letter, we are assured by Mr. Jones, does great injustice to Mayor Calhoun, whose patriotism cannot be doubted.

Mayor Calhoun has two sons in our army, one of whom--Captain W. L. Calhoun--was severely wounded on the retreat from Dalton. The other — James Calhoun — has been a private in the ranks, gallantly serving his country without thought or expec

The loss of Government property at Atlanta. --A letter to the Augusta (Ga.) Register gives an account of the loss of Government property at Atlanta upon its evacuation by General Hood.--It says: The destruction of Government property when evacuating the city was quite extensive, and a good deal of blame is attached to several high officials.--Charges of negligence and incapacity are freely indulged in.

General Shoup, chief of staff, and Colonel McMicken, chief quartermaster, are both blamed; and it is said the latter has demanded a court of inquiry. Whoever is the guilty party will probably be shown in time. Suffice it that one of the finest lots of ordnance stores ever collected together in any army, (some thirty-odd car loads) not to speak of sundry, car loads of camp and garrison equipage, &c., had to be committed to the flames upon Thursday night for want of transportation. A large amount of commissary stores were given away to the citizens and to the Relief So

e object of Sherman in asking a truce for ten days, and in sending off all the inhabitants from Atlanta, can neither be overlooked nor mistaken. He designs to convert Atlanta into an inland GibraltaAtlanta into an inland Gibraltar, which a few men may hold against a multitude, and to employ the ten days granted him in effecting that purpose. He will then send off the larger part of his army to Virginia, or, which is more prable, he will carry it off himself. The few men he may leave behind will be sufficient to hold Atlanta against any force that General Hood may be able to bring against it; or if Atlanta fall it willAtlanta fall it will be but a small matter since the issue of the war is to be determined not there but here; and the capture of Richmond will, in the opinion at least of Lincoln, compensate for all losses everywhere ellection beyond the reach of peradventure. Put all these things together — the fortification of Atlanta, the ten days truce, the continual movement of troops up the river, the ambition of Grant, and
