‘his brusque exterior covers a kind heart and generous sensibfiities. Many of these cases are of parents seeking to get theirsons discharged from military ser- vice for various causes, and though he is com- pelled in most such cases to Tetuse the appli- cation he rarely fails to convince the applicant that he is right. We chanced to be present lately at one of the morning business recep- tions instituted by Mr. Stanton at-which he re- ceives en masse all those seeking personal in- | terviews with him (turning off an immense ameunt of work thus in the course of an hour in his prompt, effective way) and smong the throng circling his busy desk was the father of a young volunteer, seeking to get his son exempted on the ground of minor age. The father was apparently of the legal profession, and upon being informed what were the official requirements governing such cases he seemed irclined to contest the matter argumentatively, havingevidently set his heart on ¢arrying his point. Mr. Stanton listened good-humoredly until he was through, and then answered him about as follows: “You ad- mait that your son entered the army voluntari- ly; that he is robust and well grown; is making his mark as a soldier, and is anxious to re- main in the service. Now. why not give hima chance? Let him follow his bent. By taking him away you mortify him, thwart his wishes, and make yourself hisenemy. Let him goon in the honorable career he has chosen, and you make him your friend, and give him a chance to distinguish himself in the service of his country.” «I believe you are right, Mr. Stanton,” said the father; (more emphatically, ) “You areright- My son shall stay where he is.” ‘THE EVENING STAR.

FROM SHERMAN’S ARMY. Occupation ef Montgomery. fae ogee Crxcrewatt, July 24.—The correspondent of the Gazette, under date of Atlanta, July 22, gives the following highly interesting details of the movements of Gen. Sherman’s army since crossing the Chattahoochee river: On the morning ef the 1Sth the whole line advanced; McPherson taking position on the extreme left, Schofield the left center, Howard the center, Hooker the right center, and Pal- mer the extreme right. ‘ On the morning of the 19th our advance reached Peach Tree Creek, @ stream running | ‘This was but an episode in the transaction of Zour miles north of Atlanta, and after consid- | wejgntier business, but we think it worth re- erable skirmishing the enemy was dislodged, | cording, as giving a juster idea than that and portions of Howard's corps crossed; our | somewhat prevalent of Mr. Stanton’s mode of left inthe meantime swinging around to the dealing with his visitors. Atlanta and Augusta Railroad, near Decatur, and tearing up several miles of the track. | On the morning of the 19th and morning of | the 20th, Howard, Hooker, and Palmer crossed the remainder of their corps, forming in the line of battle along the north bank of the Creeek. At 3 p.m. the rebels made a desperate and sudden assault on Howard, in great force. The attack soon extended to Hooker’s corps; the rebels advancing their lines deep. A por- tion of our line at first wavered before the ter- ribdle onset, but quickly rallied and stood firm asa rock. Anon, this portion of our line was massed over half the entire rebel array, both parties ‘Sighting, for the first time in the campaign, in an open field. Before dark the rebels were de- Zeated, having failed to break our lines at any point, and retired in disorder, leaving most of their dead and 200 wounded on the field. Our loss will reach 2,000 men, principally from Hooker's corps. ‘The rebel loss in killed, wounded and miss- ing exceeds 81x thousand, including three brig- adier generals. On the extreme left the operations were equally successful, McPherson driving theen- | emy several miles. Blair’s division advanced | a mile and a half south of the Augusta road. On the morning of the 2ist the enemy were driven with small loss to their works immedi- ately around Atlanta, and on the 22d they had | ‘withdrawn entirely from Hooker's and Pal- mer’s front, and at2 p. m. of that day portions ot our army entered the city. | SENTENCES COMMUTED. President Lincoln has directed that the sen- tences of the following-named enlisted men (who were tried by court-martials recently held within the lines of the Army of the Po- mac for desertion, and sentenced to be shot to death with musketry) be commuted to im- risonment at hard labor during the war at 'y Tortugas, Florida :—Wm. T. Hill, 11th in- fantry; George D. Bell, 12th te George McKnight, 14th infantry; John Well n, 7th . Pennsylvania Reserve Corps; Geo. T. Goci- rich, 122d New York; Martin Hart, 6th Penn- sylvania cavalry, and Thomas Uongden, 65th ew York. These prisoners are now confined in the Old Capitol, but wil] be sent tothe Dry Tortugas Within a day or two. SENTENCE OF A BLOCKADE RUNNER. Joseph Fedderman. a citizen, has been tried by the military commission of which General Doubleday is president, upon the charge of «violating the laws of war.” It appears that Fedderman purchased a lot of contraband goods in Baltimore and other places within the lines of the Federal army, and took them into Northumberland county, Va., where he dis- posed of them to the enemy, after which he returned to our lines without authority. Fed- derman has been found guilty and sentenced to be imprisoned in the Albany penitentiary until the termination of the present rebellion. APPOINTED. G. B. Hansell, of this city, has been ap- pomnred to a third Lieutenancy in the revenue ‘vice.

The commutation clause having been stricken out, it is clearly for the interest of every man liable to military duty to procure a aubstitute at once, since by so deing he saves not only dollars and centa, but much worry and trouble, to say nothing of the fatisfaction it gives one in being ble to say, pave & repreesvutative im the Union army,’? To those who are not liable to do military duty, the present offers a favorable opportunity fur them to rere their patriotism in a way the most beneficial © the cause in which so much is being sacrificed— namely. by furnishing a recruit to the ranks of the army. To every citizen of this Distriet it can scarce- iy fail to occur that it is for his interest to see that the men called for by the General Government are furnished voluntarily and without resort to draft, since thereby he makes more secure his property and his life.

FY Dispatches to the Government represent that the fighting en friday at Atlanta was very heavy. The enemy, holding the largest part of the city, assaulted our works on Friday with great fury. evidently expecting to drive our forces out of the city. The 15th corps, commanded by Frank Blair, seemed to be the special object of rebel wrath. as the enemy massed againstit an overwhelming force. The 15th received the shock gallantly, and held its own until Gen. Dodge, with the 16th corps, came up, when the rebels were hurled back with great slaughter Gen. McPherson was shot while reconnoi- tering. He became separated from his staff for & moment, when a rebel sharpshooter shot him from an ambush. f The terrible struggle ended by repulsing the enemy at every point onthe line. It was ar- ranged that on Saturday the dead of both ar- mies should be buried and the wounded re. moved under flag of truce. + The Union troops buried one thousand rebels left upon the field within our lines. Besides, the rebels buried many of their own dead near their own works. Upon this basis it is estimated that the rebel killed and wounded on Friday will exceed six thousand. Onur loss will reach about 2,500 in killed and ‘wounded, the 15th corps suffering severely, for the reason, named above, that the enemy massed against it. It was this act of the enemy, in part, that cost him such a heavy loss. PoricE REPVORTS—Second Precinct.—Louisa Morris, Margaret King, assault and battery; bail fag peace.

A week ago last Tuesday, while a bedy of rebels under command of a lieutenant, were moving south along the eastern slope of the Blue Ridgé, they came upon Mr. Kennet G. Hamilton, of Loudon county, who had taken three horses to hide in the mountains near Ashby’s Gap, to secure them against the rebels, and they appropriated his horses and took him in custody also, and compelled him to go with them. He was taken as tar as Cregarsville, and there managed to escape on one of his own. horses and started again northward along the west side of the mountain, he taking that ronte as he considered it more secure than the way in which he went. At Thoraton’s Gap Mr. H. met twoother parties, a Dr. Creighton, of Martinsburg, and a Mr. Diller, of Williamsport, both of whom had also escaped trom the raiders, and were on their way home. Here, by accident, they saw the approach of another body of raiders, and Mr. Hamilton, seeing no other means of get- ting safely away, turned his horse loose, and the trio took to the mountains, and by dili- gent watching succeeded in steering clear of the Confederates until they arrived near Ashby’s Gap on Wednesday morning last, when they saw eight guerrillas approach- img, and they managed to secrete them- selves behind some felled trees until the guerrillas passed. They started again, buthaa not proceeded one hundred yards when asoli- tary guerrilla spied them and at once gaye the alarm, which caused the advanced body of eight to turn back and give chase. Hamiiton succeeded in escaping, but Diller and Creigh- ton, it is supposed, were recaptured, as they have not since been heard of. Mr. Hamilton saw no large torce of rebels except detached bands, who were hurying South with plunder. The party who captured him had wagons loaded with grain, and one of the wagons con- tained a quantity of whisky, of which article the rebs made good use. Indeed it was their excessive indulgence in the article that gave workhouse. John Cephus, B. F. Cennor.

This completes a direct line of railroad from Mobile, Alabama, to Portland, Maine. The company also propose pushing the building of the road from Alex- andria to Fredericksburg, which will shorten ane distance hence to Richmond about seventy miles. In a few days regular passenger trains will be run between Washington and Alexandria every half hour: and passengers will be able to ride from Penn’a avenue to King street, Al- ezenane in 18 minutes, and at a cheap rate of are, Mr. H.an opportunity to escape.

Grant, on Saturday last Major General Ord assumed command of the 18th army corps, thereby relieving General Martindale, who temporarily succeeded Gen- eral Baldy Smith. General Ord, it will be re- membered, commanded the 13th army corps at fall of Vicksburg, having relieved General McUlernand, and was also ai the battle of Iuka with General Grant, where he distinguished himeelf. General Martindale, accompanied by his staff officers, Capt. Lockwood and Lieut. Baker, arrived in this city yesterday, having left the front immediately after turning his command over to General Ord. General Martindale was, for nearly two anne Military Governor of this District, and his many friends in this city will regret to learn that his health has become so much impaired that fears are entertained that he will be compeHed to retire from active fleld service entirely. Capt. Lockwood and Lieut. Baker, of the General's staff, were also attached to the headquarters of this military district for a long while, and we are glad to be able: to say that they are looking remarkably well. Se Fin3.—Yesterday afternoon, the stables at- tached'to the residence of Dr. Jos. Walsh, on E street south, between 6th and 7th streets east, were destroyed by fire, as is supposed, from incendiarism. The firemen were not on the spot, aud reiused to take the apparatus from the houses; but some of the police brought up the Anacostia suction and reel. Some of the Franklin members also carried dowm a real, but by the time they had got to the ground the danger vras over, the police and neighbors hay- ing prevented the spread of the flames by tear- ing down the fencing. It the apparatus had been got ont in time there would have been little or no‘loss; and asit was, there was a loss of about 2250—the horses and harness having been saved. ——_———— GRover’s' THEATER will be re-opened on Wednesday eyening next, for @ term of two weeks, under the auspices of Mt. S. W. Glenn, who has effected an arrangement with Mr. Grover for that purpose. Mr Glenn's com- pany will consist of many of the leading mem- bers of Mr. Grover’s late: company, besides a number of popular actors and actresses from northern theaters. New ana attractive pieces ‘will be performed, and tlaere can be no doubt ot Mr. Glenn’s success. “Rip Van Winkle” will constitute the opening play on Wednes- day, and we-suppose Mr. Glenn himself will appear in his irresistable Dutch character. ———o Sgconp WARD Srarion Oases.—John Norton, drunk; $1.

The Conal-»The oniy arriyals.0f Avy CONS: THE SCARE AT ROCKVILLE, The scare at Rockville on Saturday was oc- casioned by one of our cavalry regiments (which had been in pursuit of the rebels) cross- ing the river at Edwards’ Ferry. Their horses having become jaded by long marches, it was found necessary to move alengslowly, and the citizens in the vicinity seeing the dust rising thought that the rebels had again made their appearance, and mounted their horses and rode off towards this city. As these farmers passed through Rockville they gaye the false alarm, which had the effect of closing all the places of business in that village, and in a few moments hardly a citizen could beseen on the streets. Officers attached to this cavalry regiment report that theinvaders losta greit deal of their live stock in their retreat, owing to their rapid marching in order to evade their pur- suers. Theroads over which the rebels passed are lined with dead cows, hogs and sheep, which are supposed to have dropped down from exhaustion. NAVY YARD. The new revenue cuiter Seward, built at Philadelphia, has arrived at the yard. She isa fine, fast, side-witeeler, and on her trip round gave good satisfaction.

KEBEL PRISONERS. Thirteen Rebel prisoners arrived here this morning, having been sent here by Col. Hyatt, rovost mazshal of the Sixth Army Corps.
