Decatur, Ga., Sccm ied by Our Troeps— ’ LOUISVILLE, July 22.—Yesterday’s National Union states that on Monday morning Decatar, Ga., was occupied by our forces; thus cutting off all rebel communications with South Uaro- lina, by way of Macon. Deserters and stragglers have been coming into our lines since we ci the Ohat. tohoochee in great numbers. They repre- sent that all hope of saving Atlanta has disap- peared. Atlanta Captured. New York, July 22.—A special dispatch to the Herald from Nashville to-day has the fol- lowing: The success of Sherman’s movements in cutting the eastern and southern communi- cation with Atlanta, leads to tue belief that the rebels had been foiled in their attempt to escape, and that thelr operations at that place have already been narrowed down to a elege. Two large cavalry forces some time since left the army at different points, and have doubtless ere this cut the Macon and Colum- bus railroads in such & manner that, if the enemy succeed in leaving the city to go away, it must be at a loss of much valuable pro- perty. [ANOTHER DISPATCH.) New York, July 22.—Diepatches to pri- vate parties state that Atlanta was this morn- ing occupied by Sherman’s forces, and that General Thomas’ headquarters are in the city. This statement is credited in official circles, and we think that no doubt .eed be enter- tained in regard to it. Sargent Clendinin, medical director at the post here, is in receiptof adispatch which states that our losses in the battle of Decatur were very light. The engagement at that place was not general. Telegraphic Communication with the Army. OFFICE AS80CIATED PREss, NEw York, July 22—The Western Union Telegraph Com- pany is in communication with Sherman's beadquarters to-day.

St. Josery, Mo., July 21.—The guerrillas turned back from Livingston last night, and occupied Cadwell county. After being joined by another band from the West, the combined force, numbering some five hundred men, marched to Plattsburg, Clinton county, when the surrender of the garrison, consisting oftwo companies of militia, was demanded in tha name of the Confederate States. Captain Tur- ner, commanding the post, refused to surren- der, and told his men to escape. A fight ensued, in which Captain Turner was killed. ak of the militia escaped, and have arrived ere. General Fink’s appeal is being promptly re-* sponded to, and men are sent into the fleld at once. One thousand men, under Gen. Ben Loan, ‘will soon be here from Andrew county. LEAVENWORTH, July 22.—A despatch this morning from Col. Ford, at Liberty, Mo., says the people in the country north and east of that place are joining the rebel Thernton, and that bis force ts increasing rapidly. Col. Ford has bis troops well in hand, but his force is too small to effect much, and reinforcemen’s are asked for. Arms have been sent from here to St. Joseph and Kansas City for arming the loyal men called out by Gen. Fisk. A later despatch from Col. Ford states that Thornton, with 2,000 men, is moving north, probably with the intention of striking the rail- road. Pluttsburg and Maroon were in their PUTBESEIU 1GBL Light. Col Bord left Litersy at four this p. m. in pursuit. General Cartis has several armed boats pa- troling the Missouri river to prevent the rebels crossing. Pickler and Banks are reported to have 10,900 men in Southwest Missouri, threatening Fort Scott and our southern communication. It is believed that 50,000 of Price’s men are now in Missouri. These will be joined by Thornton’s guerrillas and the Pawpaws, and will make & formidable force. A portion of our State militia is to be called out, and troops are now being concentrated for co-operation. General Blunt is here waiting orders. The Indians are tronblesome on the Western Colorado mail route. FROM FORTRESS MONROE. The Florida Reported off Cape Hatteras— All Quiet on the James River.

Fry.” THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS. ‘We published yesterday a very full account of & mysterious “peace conference” at Niag- ara Falls. As Mr. Greeley, of the New York Tribune, seeMs tohave had seme connection with it, the following remarks of that paper will be interesting: {From the New York Tribune.] The telegraphic stories concerning peace con- ferences at Nisgara Falls have a slender foun- dation in fact, but most of the detsils are very wide of the truth. The editor of this paper bas taken part in, and been privy to, no further or other negotiations than were fully authorized. and more than authorized: bat these relate solely in bringing the antagonists face to face in amicable rather than belligerent atti‘ude, with a view to the initiation of an earnest ef- fort for peace, to be prosecuted at Washing- ton. The movement has had no immediate success. Of course all reports that the writer has been engaged in proposing or receiving or discuss- ing hypothetical terms or bases of peace, whether with accredited agents of the Rich- mond authorites or others, are utterly mista- ken. He has never had the slightest authori- zation to do anything of the sort:and he is quite aware of those provisions of law which relate to volunteer negotiations with public en+mies. Those provisions he heartily ap- proves, and is nowise inclined to violate. More than this he does not as yet feel at liberty to state, thongh he soon may be All tbat he can now Add is his general inference that the paci- ficatien of our country is neither so difficult nor s0 distant as seems to be generally sup- posed. THE RESPONSE OF CLAY AND HOLCONRE. The final response of Messrs. Clay and Hol- combe to Mr. Greeley was given entire yester- day, with the exception of the following con- cluding paragraph: This correspondence wil! not, however, we trust, prove entirely barren of good results. If tere is any citizen of the Confederate States who has clung to the hope that peace was pos- sible with this administration of the Federal Government, it will strip trom his eyes the last film ot such adelusion. Or, if there be an whoee hearts have grown faint under the sufe rering and agony of this bloody struggle, it will inspire them with fresh energy to endure and brave whatever may yet be requisite to preserve to themselves and their children all that gives dignity and value to life or hopeand consolation to death. Ard ifthere be an = triots or Christians in 7one land who sheink appalled from the illimttable virtue of private misery and public calamity which stretches before them, we pray that in their bosoms a resolution may be quickened to recall the abused authority and vindicate the out- raged civilization of their country. For the solicitude you have manifested to inaugurate & movement which contemplates results the most noble and humane, we returnour thanks; 8nd are, most respectfully and truly, your obedient servants, C. C. Cray, JR., James P. HoLoompe. Next follows a note dated July 20, expressing the thanks of the Confederate agents to W. O. Jewett, Esq., for his good offices, and stating that the negotiations had been suspended in consequence of the position taken by the Presi- dent. The N. Y. Journal of Commerce says: This closes the correspondence connected with the peace negotiations. The reported « mission” of Mr. Greeley has prodnced some effect in financial circles, coupled as itis with a knowledge of the fact that when Mr. Fessenden A teed peed last _— i ieal hed an interview oe sistioeniP ated that « ipesse could be made in thirty days,” if desired. Most of the other New York papers seem to attach but little importance to the “negotia- tions,” and allege that the whole affair is intended te have an effect on the Chicago Uon- vention. THE FIGHT AT SNICKER’S GAP. Movements of Gen. Wright. SNIOKER’s Ferry, Va., July 20.—The forces under Major Gen. Wright have pursued Earl: and Breckinridge from Washington to this place, sometimes skirmishing with their rear guard, which proved to have been kept twen- ty-four hours in the rear of the main body for purposes ot obser vation. It invariably fled when attacked. When near Purcellsville, some miles south of Snick: er’s Gap, Doffiie’s cavalry, of Gen. Crook’ command, came upon their trains, and cap- tured &2 of their wagons, with but slignt loss. Up at the mouth of the gap he hada more seri- ous time, and lost a few men. Crook then brought up his cavalry, and, passing through the gap, reached the ferry, which was strongly protected, so that he could not cross. The next day Gen. Wright came up with some of his troops, and soon determined to at- tempt a crossing, sufficiently, at least, to de- velop their strength. He did so,and under cover of our artillery fire crossed over several regiments, which maintained their ground manfully for some time; but, as reinforcements ‘Were about to join them, they came back, the zen of the line being in some confusion. twas now near night, and a renewal of the paige could not be made until morning. Gen. Wright then began to maneuver to divide his enemy’s force and his atteation, when he could ersily have destroyed him. Instead of succeeding in this, he found that Early had received news from Lee which, together with the chance of being thrashed by Wright, made him pack up and leave at double quick in the direction of Strasburg. Gen. Wright crossed the river and proceeded a few miles towards Winchester, but learning nothing to change his mind as to the direction the enemy had taken, ne Scien texemarcned his force, in obedience to orders Among the casualties on the 18th, at Island Ford, were Col. Washburne, 116th Ohio, wounded; Col. Frost, 11th Virginia, wounded in the bowels; and Lieut. Col. Murray, 5'h New York heavy artillery, {ervnng as infantry,) missing, and known to severely wounded. The whole loss was 300 men. The enemy’s loss was 500, by their own statements. Frvancial—Increased Con, é in Govern~ ment Securities.—The New York Post of yester- day evening says: The most gratifying feature of the Stock Ex- change this morning is the increasing demand for Government securities, and the rapid re- covery of several descriptions, which have been temporarily depressed by the stringency of money, the consequent depression of busi- ness, the general diminution of yen ye the increditude as to the future policy of the Secretary of the Treasury. Gold opened at 266, and after selling at 2574, closed dull at 253. The reports that Mr. Fessenden has returned to the city are without foundation. The three year seven.thirty notes are now printing. They will not be paid out to the creditors of the Government, and their in- terest will be payanis semi-annually. They will be offered for popular subscription at par. The stock market opened dull.
