From the Georgia Front. y A cjrr?pondeut of the Mobile Regisier ??ys: # - NKWVAX, GA., Oct. 8. . ,; A ilivi.-ion of Sewiri's corps (Fr-neb's) met with a revere in an attack made upon A!ato>na day before-yesterday, and affei h-Aviug taken sotno of the outer fortifications Wirti compelled to withdraw. There were ?ev-;rnl rumors afloat last eve - ning ia regard to it, but this morning the character pf the news' is better. It id sup posed, that we lost some five hun Ired io . killed, wounded and missing in making the . -< assault, though' I am iii hopes that official accounts will reduce the uuuiber considera . blyC- Akr.oona, as you well know, is naturd ly strong, and the Yankees have doubtless render^ it very formidable, lt is more than probable that it U garrisoned by portions nf the two corps which are said to have been *r sent away from Atlanta before Hood moved .from Palmetto;' * (??m. Ho jd will doubtless send a sufficient ;- . force against it to reduce it. - v , The truth j,*, I imagine that* our men bau broome so elated ?ind enthused with the idea of getting astride of the railroad, that they be^aa to imagine that everything must fall btforo them. This reverse at A-toana will doubtless . awaken our generajs to the fact, that a great . * deal of hard fighting is in store btfore w.e can make the.Yanko38 in these strongly for tified pftsts succuuib. Gen. Hood's Headquarters are still at Dal-, hts, although the indications seem to bj? that ? Wi3 army will soon mo*ajB still farther, up the railroad. This ple"a?wut little village, from which I have been scuding my letters for a Vcek back, has ceased to bc a b se of supplies for ouratmy; ard yesterday all of (be trail s and .supplies ou band were moved across river, and tba pontoon bridge takon up. N'-thinp more will be shipped to thiapoint. and every thing en roote fur thc .army will be turned b ck nod sent forward to the new base at Bbl* Mountain. Ti-is was very advisable, both in point ?if- distance and security, and "Sherman would.pow lind - considerable ?ifli cully, ii he had the moons at his* d s?jo?al, in' interrupting our communications. Three huudrejl aud seventy Ya -kee priso ners', captured by boring's division on the 3d and 4th at Big Sriauty and Acworth, arriv ed here to-day on t heir way to prisou. They belong to Blairs 17th army corps, and hail ed principally fronrlllinois, Ohio and Mis souri. They haye never been^is far down as Atlanta, but were used all the time as guards upon the road. The Yankee prisoners to which I-referred above-wcroall re-enlisted mea, ot "vete rans" as they are called, and are open mouth ed abolitionists. I conversed with qnite a number of them, aTid'fonnd' them all defiant, and of the opinion .that the. South if not .- whipped now, woXdd soon agree tu a recon struction. Some-of Hiern said they bad bern inforni cd by their officer* that Gov. Brown, of .Georgia, had gone to Washington city to con fer with Mr. Lincoln. . With such falsehoods as this are the Yan kees deluded from day to day; ? The Macon Intelligencer has the following review of the position-: The utmost tecrecy bas been maintained during several days past, concernivg the movements of the Array "of Tennessee.. The Yankee also s?itn lb be enveloped in a cloud that mysteriously hideB them from our view. But this caifnot romain mush longer. They must make their appearance and eilher figbi their way through uur dense lines at points whero NV if oppose them with great advan tages of position, and against wbink their strength will be humed only lo be dissipa ted into fragments, certain destruction or cap ture, or they must escape by a quick -flank inarch. Either method seems .fraught with destruction. We do not think the enemy lias snffjeient numbers at the present time to J successfully pombat our army in irs present condition, therefore, he is probably seeking an outlet of escape. What with ? very short supply of subsistence, and without the nec essary; material for a march, he will soon be placed in a most distressing condition, and with his weakened columns will make but feeble resistance to the barraging attacks that our forces persistently keep np, and find bb escape almost impossible, or retreat a most disastrous operation. ATLANTA. Whilst our army is thus managing the en emy in the mountains of North Georgia, ar rangement4 are being made to occupy Atlan ta by our forces, and very soon the means will be so applied that a strong and availa ble force will occupy and securely hold that city henceforth. Already thework is rapid ly progressing that will place* the city in communication with tho world ?gain and make it a socure depot for us hereafter. In the plan now being pursued, the enemy are . Jost sight of complet&ly, fiji? tho reason that they will not bo in the way. !?e mqjrementfl now in progress are sufficiently ample to march over the feeble opposition thej' may ! mako, as they \ri"l simply displace them and i gi Fe the city "nto our possession again and then for a successful and decided movement on the enemy's rear and flanks. From all quarters tho means ara comir}"\ The clans are gathering. Not onjy from Georgia, but from Aiabamaj"' Mia?lgsippi and South Carolina, there is quietly accumulating a formidable power whose presence and ef forts will prove- an insurmountable barrier in any advances again of the enemy. Our jjfm y on the front will increase in strength and nuqjtbera by the addition of those whose places will be tilled by. fresh troops in the r?atv The campaign will entirely ule^r the country South Of the Tennessee of the ene piy. It will bo a decided succ?s?. Thc trx?p3 that are rendezvousing in large numbers at stated points in this State, are tuU of enthusiasm and spirit, and in' a few days will be on the' march for duty where Vhey will bo of g?ftt-eervice to tho nrrr,* and where they will do this State a service. : whose b3ne11ts aro incalculable. The piara ; a:e working well, and in their ccrla'n f-uc- ! cess we see thc utter discomfiture and total. ;r>utof the?nemy.: To assist to tho deaira- j pla dm.', it is the duty of every man liable to' ' . porno w?tnrtnt delay, take bis placo, and make this campaign a brilliant and glorious ending of the var. V/e do not think, in the. intimations ve bave given, tbat there is anything contra band, or that can be advantageous to tho en emy, for the reason that they ?r6*'completely isolated from all communication with our lipes ana their own base. -t- : ; ? : ,. - ?. - .The MonfgomeryTaail ?f Friday nae the following news : ' . . . The fairore which> attended our plan* in Middle Tennessee has occasioned some mud ification of the campaign in our frunb It is now believed thakour army, cheched in its progress toward the Tennessee river, has turned in the direction of Blue Mountain. The forces of Sherman, which were dis .patched to Nashville, are understood to be in Gen. Hood's front. Parties from the vicinity of Newnan dis credit the-press dispatcnes that announced ;he capture of Alloona, ar.d assert that thore wa* but one assault which was" unsuccessful. Forrest bas united with. Gen. Hood, ?nd the residue of his* command is saf?. - From Virginia. . The inactivity O?* Grant's army during the past few days of fia1* weather, gives a strong indication that it is in uo condition to justi fy any serious effoft against the . defences of either Richmond or Petersburg. Grant has been waiting for opportunities and reinforce inei'ts for along time, and though he Las made some advance? on bin right and left wings, to thc extension of bis,lines r.nd a? no inconsid erable loss, he has done nothing as yet to en hance the questionable advantages be ha* obtained, and, to all appearances, is at as complete a dead lode with Lee as ever. In the next manoeuvre he maj' be- pushed- ont or to one side, but he will scarcely be able to force his way in, mrce being his only re liance, since all strategy; such as he exhibi ted, has failed him. Weare yet told that the next day or two will develop aomeuew move ment. New movements have been the order of our expectations for some time. - But the j#w movement of Sheridan may-furnish the key to this narw expectation, so far ns Rich mond is concerned. At Petersburg there may bc other evidences .effecting the pros pects In that quarter. .Seve|fcl private dwellings in the v?einity of Pettfrxburg have been burned recently. The er.erny's treatment of thos? citizens who have remained within their lines to. pro tect their property, m^ery * harsh and un pleasant to bear. * .. Deserters still continue to Come into our ""TnesY sometimes in considerable numbers. Not long since, the deserters from a New Hampshire regiment became so frequent and alarming, that it had to be ? removed, and an other from the same State mored to the front in its stead. . Era the lapse of many days, 'the same condition of things was observable in this new regiment, which wjs supplanted at ouco by a .loyal command from the Aboli tion State of Massachusetts. From the last regimentjgtae deserters became more fre quent than .before, and now wc" understand it has neem relieved by a fourth'. It is the general impression thnt/Sher?dan intends te moves towards the James River if ho can. Every barn ar.d mill in the Shenandoah valley, thut the Yankees could gut at, haft been burned. The Yankees are busily engaged in putting up Fort liarrison. According to last accounts from South western Virginia our forces were putauing the routed" Yankees. Latest accounts (rom the valley leave Sher idan beyond Woodstock, and at a ?stand still. Our cavalry had been driving that of the ene my for several days ; but on Sunday last we had ? fight with their dismounted cavalry, who were unknown to us, supported by in fantry. After a hard fight, in which we in dicted severe loss on the enemy, our forces withdrew in good order ; but our artillery horses being nearly all killed, we were com pelled tojeave several pieces in the hands of the enemy? Our loss, was, it appears, very .?light- ._? There is a report of reversos to our cavalry in the Valley, the particulars of which we have nrAheard. -Tin- arian- ie pain to have occurred at Edmburg, a point between New Market and Woodstock, fifty eight miles north of Staunton and seventeen miles south of Strasburg. . The Yankee? are os far from the Southside road as ever they were. It is curious that they are now extending their linea for along distance southward parallel .with the Wel don road, instead of westward, towards the Southside road, lt is uncertain whether this is done with a view to get around our flank, or Biraply for the purpose of causing Lee to stretch his confronting line as far as possible from, his main body. Probably the last is . their motive. . For the Advertiser, j Mn.
