This, though premature yesterday, we have every reason to believe is true to-day. ‘The city was virtually in oar hands yester- day, so completely was it under the guns of Sherman from his positions gained, and we are satisfied that he now occupies it fully, all the fighting bo'h with Johnson and with his successor, Hood, having resulted disastrously to the enemy. Sherman cut the rebel telegraphic communi- cation with Montgomery, near Notasalga, on the i7th. by acavalry expedition, which was at Talladega on Saturday, and which will un- doubtedly be heard from soon as having played the mischief generally with the rebel comma- nications wi'h Atlanta. The rebel General John B. Hood (heretofore | only a division commander) took command of the rebel army in Georgia on the 18th.

On the same day it was rumored that Gen. E. Kirby Smith was also in the city dressed ia citizem’s garb. It was not pone Memphis al ofthe 14th says:—“The enemy seems to be p' lly quiet, while the situation on thisside 0: river is unchanged. ‘We are watching the kees &cross the river with ceaseless vig: . Occasionally the ts and light t ies on the flanks ex. change shots, as if to remind all parties that hostilities have not been suspended. At. lanta is not now, as formerly, crowded with soldiers and officers, owing to the stringent oraers recently tesued on the subject. These, we learn, are executed without “fear, favor or affection.” The Whig is severe upon the Richmond &u- thorities for supereeding Johnson by Hood in command of the Army of Tennessse. It says that as a division commander Hood was emi- nently successful; but it thinks Hardee was entitled to the promotion, both by seniority and Teater experience. 2 ‘Fhe Whig continues: “The secret of this appointment is soon told. Our authorities are diseased 1m mind, and the craziest of their crazes is the fancied possessien of an intuitive knowledge of men. The success of the cause is subservient to the gratification of personal feelings, or else an army like that at Atlanta would not be entrusted to an untried general made for the occasion. Itis known fo», that Hood alone of Jobnston’s lientenants has been from the beginning opposed to the retrograde movement from Dalton. A new policy having been adopted it was perhaps proper to find 4 commander whoee views accorded with that policy. Hence Hardee was oversiaughed. Hood's abilities may be adequate to the task assigned him. We trustso. He may possess the confidence of the army toa greater degree than Johnstsn. We doubt it. But the case does not admit of experiments. Too much isat stake. It may be true as the clerks who reflect the opinions entertained in high official circles declare that the day for old fogies like Lee, Beauregard and Johnston is passed, and the time has come for young men of the Dick Tay- lor, Hoke and Hood stamp to lead our armies to Napoleonic victories. Nevertheless we hold to the belief that the situation ia Georgia does not demand rash experiments, but on the con- trary calls for an officer of proved ability aad of the firstorder. Such an officer would not be hard to find near Petersburg if a malignant sealousy unparalleled outside the bottomless pit could be quenched by the love of country. From Georgia—Gen. Johns' Addr & 1, ace, [From the Richmond Whig of July 20th.) ATLANTA, July 18.—The army and the pub- lic were surprised this morniog by the an- nouncement of the change of commanders, Gen. Johnston being relieved and Gen. Hood receiving the command. The following is Gen. Johnston's tare well address to his troops: HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF TENNESSEE, July 17, 1864.—In obedience to the orders of the War Department, I turn over to General Hood the command of the Army and Department of Tennessee. I cannot Jeave this noble army without expressing my admiration of the high military qualities it has displayed so conspic- uously—every coldierly virtue, endurance of toil, obedience to orders, brilliaut courage. The enemy has never attacked but to be severely repulsed and punished. You, soldiers, have never argued but from your courage, and never counted your fears, No longer your leader, I will still watch your career and will rejoice in your victories. Tooneandail I offer assur- ances of my friendship, and bid an affectionate farewell (Signed) | J. E. Jounsron, General. Gen. Hood, on assuming command, delivered the following address: HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF TENNESSEE, July 18, 164.—Soldiers: In ohedience to orders from the War Department I assume command of this army and Department. I feel the weight of the responsibility so suddenly and unex- pectedly devolved upon me by this position, and shall bend all my energies and employ all my skill to meet itsrequirements. I look with confidence to your patriotism to stand by me, and rely upon your prowess to wrest your coun: from the grasp of the invader, entitling yourselves tothe proud distinction of being called the deliverers of an oppressed people. [Signea} J. B. Hoop, General. Telegraph communication with Montgomery ‘was suspended last night near Notasulga. The interruption is supposed to have been caused by a portion of that part of the enemy who were reported to be at Talladega on Saturday. No train has arrived to-day from West Poiat. The main force of the enemy crossed the Chat- tahoochee, between Isham’s fordand Roswell, and are slowly pushing forward. Cavatry skirmishing took place this morning at Buck Head, six miles from this place. The Petersburg Express of Wednesday has the following: From the Front. The ehelling of the city for the past two days has been merely nominal,and has amount- ed tonothing. The few shells that have been thrown have produced no damage, and in- flicted no injury. Last night the firing became ~omewhat more britk, but only what we were lea to expect arom the experience of the past week or ten lave, Reports still reach us of Grant’s undermin- ing operations, but they create no uneasiness, His position is nota favorable one for success- ful operations of this kind, and he is but wast- ing time and Iabor. He cannot go many feet below the surface of the ground before he strikes a stratum of mari, and there he finds water to impede his progress. At certain points on his lines this may not be so, but here he has rolling ground to combat. Several prisoners were taken on the picket who deny the s tatement of the great Ulysses’ death. In all respects the situation at the front re- mains unchanged. The Army of Invasion. It has already been announced that the mys- terious body of rebels who recently invaded Maryland foughta pitched battle at Monocacy, played their audacious pranks ell around the city of Baltimore, and laid siege to Washing- ton fortwo days, have lately crossed the Po- tomac with an untold amount of plunder. While the frightened Cabinet at Washington were burrying up whole corpsof their army to meeta few hvndred rebels deploying and skirmishing in front of Forts Stevens and Lin- coln, the great body of our forces were quietly gathering up the rich booty of the country and sending it away to some secure point. The gain to the conntry by this invasion, coupled as it is with such insignificant loss, will prove incalculable. The followirg named officers, wounded in the battle of the Monocacy, arrived in Rich- mond on Monday evening, viz:—Brig. Gen. C. A. Evans, Lieut. Gorden, of Gen. Ewell’s staff, and Capt. Pearce. 26th Georgia. (ol. Lamar, 6Ist Georgia, Col. Vanvalkenberg, Capt. Lowther, 26th Georgia, and Major Han- ley. 12th Georgia battalion, were killed ‘We learn from one of these wounded officers, says the Sentinel, that in the fight xt Monocacy our total loss in killed. wounded, and missing was between 400 and 500; while that of the ene- my wae abont 1,109, besides the loss of 7(0 pris- oners, who were brought with others captured to this side of the Potomac. Our forces retired from before Washington on the 13th. On the 14th our csvalry deteated the enemy’s cavalry near Poolesville, and the Jast of the Confederate forces crossed to the Virginia side of the river the same day. Five thonsand horses, and twenty-five hun- dred beeves were among the captures safely brought ont.

This skirmish is an auspicious beginning for Gen Hood.” The Richmond Enquirer of the 21st says: “An official despatch received yesterday af- ternoon at tne Wur Department, siates thata large force of Yankees crossed the Shenandoah river, at Snicker's, on the 18:h. “At3 o'clock p.m. they were attacked and driven across the river in great confusion.
