To Gen. S. Coop< > : The report from (ten
oral Hood last night was favorable.
Our prisoners will read 70t'0, of whom
2000 arc wounded. We have 30 stands of

(The Pre.** Despatches.)
Atlanta, Sept. 25.?Several trains ot" wound*
ed and prisoners have arrived here. The reports
we received of the state of atfairs are conflicting.
Wc incline to the belief that the ene
my is fortifying Chattanooga. Our lines are
within four miles of that place.
Officers who have come down state that !
llosecrans sent two llags of truce to Bragg, ask- !
ing permission to bury his dead and relieve his j
wounded. Bragg rejected both, replying that j
he had enough Yankee prisoners to bury the
Yankee dead and enough. Yankee surgeons to i
?-> o
attend to the Yankee wounded. ?
There was 110 fighting yesterday (Thursday).
The Yankee prisoners taken have an abundance
of counterfeit Confederate money, and some
have been brought down in irons for attempting
to pass it.
The Life of a Journalist.
Wo frequently hear people express a desire
to belong to the fraternity. They little know
the annoyance of editorial life, or such a wish
would not go forth. If a paper, savs a friend
in the streets, has too much editorial or too
much literary matter in it, nobody wants it.
If the types are small, they are unable to read
it. II large, we want to economise. If we publish
the telegraph reports, people say they arc
nothing but a batch of lies; and if we don't publish
thein, they declare we are not able to pay
for reports. If an occasional joke tinds its way
into our columns, we arc dubbed a rattle head;
and if none appear, wo arc declared an old
fossil. If we publish a great deal of editorial
they say that is easily done; that the evidence
of a good editor is in selections. If we scissor
a great deal, we are cursed for not giving them
what has not appeared in some other paper.
A complimentary notice appears, and we arc
called partial; and if none is written, we are
styled a selfish hog. If we occasionally publish
something to please the ear of young ladies,
or tickle the fancy of young misses, men damn
the paper for printing such "trash," and if
nothing is given for the ladies, the paper is not |
fit to have in the house. If we attend church
it is to cover our hypocrisy; and if we fail to go,
we are condemned for not practising what we
preach. If we commend any act of the Government,
men declare we dare not speak otherwise;
and if we do see tit to sometimes find
fault, there is a class to call us a traitor. If we
denounce a General for want of capacity, we
are impairing confidence; and if we make no
mention of liihi and he commits an error, we
ought to have let the world know before hand
that he was not the "right man in the right
place." Wc cannot remain in our office t< attend
to ou$ business, without remarks being
made about a Jack of sociability; and if we do
mingle wifh our fellows, they can't see how we '
attend to business. These are only a f".\v o '
the annoyances of editorial life, but they are 1
I sufficient to satisfy any one that it is not such
I an enviable life after all.?Mississippi an.
i Wasn't Much Acquainted with Her Ilrsi
band.?Kansas City is a gay place, and they
I have queer specimens of humanity down there.
I The following is from the Journal, about a woI
man of doubtful loyalty, who was recently beI
fore a Yankee Provost Marshal: "She gave
I na an evidence of her loyalty that her husband
I 1 J been killed in the 106th Illinois regiment.
m ? hen did your husband go to Illinois?"
I "All ut three years ago." "That was before
I the war, was it not?" "Yes." "Why did
I you not go with him?" "Well, T didn't like to
I go oil'so far with a man I wasn't much ae
quainted with." "You don't itioan to say that
H your husband was so much of a stranger that
you did not like to go with linn ?" Yes I do.
I liad only been married to him about a year,
I and I wasn't going to leave my folks and gooff
to Illinois with a man I didn't know more about. I
What could he do but discharge her ?"
