one of great profit; that seven thousand horses were safely brought off by the cavalry, while three or four thousand more were appropriated for artillery and transportation purposes; besides a large number of fat cattle and an immense amount of spoils of every description. From another source we learn that at last accounts the captured stock was being driven down the Valley. From Georgia. There was no official intelligence from Georgia at headquarters last night. The telegraph reports a pleasant little affair on the evening of the 19th, in which a line of breastworks and a number of prisoners were captured. It is to be hoped that this is the precursor of more important successes. Judging from the tone of the newspapers of that city, Atlanta is to be defended with heroism, and the belief is general that the great battle for its possession will come off in a few days. The army and the people are in fine spirits, and confident of driving back the invader of their soil.

In conclusion, the President was reduced to the alternative of retaining Johnston and losing Atlanta, or losing Johnston and the possibility of saving Atlanta. He could not but be satisfied that Atlanta. He could not but be satisfied that Johnston had already made up his mind to abandon the place as untenable. If he did not fight Sherman at the Chattahoochee, would he have done so in the open country around Atlanta? Sherman could tuAtlanta?

Forrest was not idle in the West; he was beating back column after column of reinforcements going to Sherman. The order for him to move to Georgia was given, nevertheless; but before he could obey it, the enemy were again moving from Memphis to the support of Sherman, and it became necessary to fight him.

From the Georgia front — latest by mail. We are in receipt of Atlanta papers of the 13th and 14th, whose news has mainly been anticipated by the telegraph. The Register has the following relative to the situation: All quiet at the front. Sherman is evidently bent upon rebuilding the railroad bridge across the Chattahoochee before he makes a forward movement. The portion of Howard's 4th army corps which was on this side of the river have recrossed, having been relieved by two divisions of Dodge's 16th army corps. One division of Schofield's 23d army corps are also on this side opposite Soap Ford. Girard's division of cavalry are camped on this side about a mile from the river, on the Buckhead road, having thrown up a few rails, &c., as breastworks. They are said to be amusing themselves picking blackberries and frolicking around generally, but keeping a sharp lookout for our cavalry.
