Persons of sedentary h@its troubled with weak- ne s, lassitade, palpitation of the heart, lack o appetite, distress after eating, torpid liver, con- stipation, &c., deserve to suffer if they will not try the celebrated PLANTATION BITTERS, which are now recommended by the highest medi- eal authorities, and warranted to produce an im- mediate beneficial effect. They are exceedingly agreeable, perfectly pure, and must supercede all other tonics where a healthy, gentle stimulant is required. They purify, strengten and invigorate. They create a healthy appetite. They are an antidote to a change of water and diet. They overcome effects of dissipation snd late hours, They strengthen the system and enliven the mind, They prevent miasmatic and intermittent fevers They purify the breath and acidity of the stomach. They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation, They cure Diarrhea, Cholera, and Cholera Morbus. They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Head- ache, They make the weak strong, the languid bril- iant, and are exhausted nature’s great restorer, They are composed of the celebrated Calisaya bark, wintergreen, sassafras, roots and herbs, all preserved in perfectly pure St, Croix ram. For particulars, see circularsand testimonials around each bottle. Beware of imposters. Examine every bottle. Bee that it has D, 8, Barnes’ signature on our pri- vate U. 8.

Wark DsPARTMENT, Wasuineton, September 3, 1964. Major General Diz, New York : No intelligence from Atlanta later than my telegram of Mist night has been received. The telegraphic lines between Nashville and Chat- tanooga were broken last night by Wheeler, and we have had nothing South of Nashville to-day. This accounts for the absence of later information from Atlanta. No dbubt is entertained here of the correct- ness of the reports received last night,, which came from two independent sources, besides the official dispatch of Gen. Slocum. An official report this evening from Nash- ville states that the damage done by Wheeler to the railroad will be apa s repaired, and that Wheeler had retreated. Gen. Rousseau is in pursuit. In an engagement between Roussean’s and Wheeler’s forces, the rebel General Kelly was mortally wounded, and is in our hands. A telegram trom Gen. Sheridan states that Early has retreated up the Shenandoah Valley and is pursued by Sheridan with his whole army; and that A verill had attacked Vaughan’s cavalry, and captured twenty wagons, twe ee a number of prisoners, and a herd of cattle.

To Major General Diz, New York : The following telegraphic despatch from Gen. Grant has just been received : “City Point, Sept. 3.—Hon. E. M. Stanton: Ihave a Richmond paper to-day. It contains arumor of a battle at Atlanta, but says that, the War Department having no official infor- mation, it declines to form an opinion from the rumors. I bave no doubt, however, but Sher- man has gained a great success there. «Before the despatch of last night was re- ceived, announcing the occupation of Atlanta by our troops, the fact was hnown toour pick- ets. The rebels hallooed over to our men that Sherman had whipped Hood; that the latter had lost forty thousand men, and that our troops were in Atlanta. “ All quiet here. «© U. S. Grant, Lieut. Gen.” Our southwestern telegraph lines continue down, and this, with a heavy storm that com- menced in the afternoon, and is still prevailing beyond Louisville, may damage the lines so as to hinder the arrival of details from Atlanta for a day or two. Epwin M. Stanton, Seeretary of War. {THIRD BULLETIN.] WaSHINGTON, Sept. 4—3 p. m. To Major General Diz, New York : General Sherman’s official report of the cap- ture of Atlanta has just been received by this Department. Itis dated twenty-six miles south of Atlanta, at 6 o’clock yesterday morning, but was de- tained by the breaking of the telegraphic lines mentioned in my dispatch of last night. “As already reported, the army withdrew from about Atlanta, and, on the 30th, had made break of the West Point road, and reached a good position from which to strike the Macon road, the right (Howard) near Jonesboro, the leit (Schofield) near Rough-and-Ready, and center (Thomas) at Couch’s. “Howard found the enemy in force at Jones- boro, and intrenched his troops—the salient Within half a mile of the railroad. “The enemy attacked him at 3 p.m,and ‘Was easily repulsed, leaving his dead and wounded. “Finding strong opposition on the road, I advanced on the left and center rapidly to the railroad, made & good lodgment, and broke it all the way from Rough-and-Ready down to Howard’s left, near Jonesboro, and, by the same movement,I interposed my whole army between Atlanta and the part of the enemy en- trenched in and around Jonesboro. «We made an atiack on the enemy at Jones- boro on the Ist of September, the 14th corps, General Jeff. C. Davis, carrying the works handsomely, with ten guns and about a thou- sand prisoners. «In the night the enemy retreated south, and ‘we have followed him to another one of his hastily constructed lines, near Lovejoy’s Sta- tio! n. “Hood at Atlanta, finding me on his road, the only one that could supply him, and between him and a considerable part of his army, blew up his magazines in Atlanta, and left in the nighttime, when the 20th corps, Gen- eral Slocum, took possession of the place. “So Atlanta is ours, and fairly won. “Since the Sth of May we have been in one constant battle or skirmish, and need rest. Our losses will not exceed twelve hundred, and we bave possession of over three hundred rebel dead, two hundred and fifty wounded, and over fifteen hundred well. «“W. T. SHERMAN, Major General." A later dispatch from General Slocum, dated at Atlanta last night, 3 p. m., states that the enemy, on evacuating Atlanta, destroyed seven locomotives and eighty-one cars, loaded with ammunition, small arms, and stores, and left fourteen pieces of artillery, most of them unin- jured, and 4 large number of small arms. Deserters are constantly coming into our lines Epwim M. STANTOox, Secretary of War. ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. Rebel Deserters Coming In. {read are of the Associated Press.) 4 nformation trom the Army of the Potomac, Gated Saturday, states that Private Selden S, Chandler, of panes, K, 4th United States ar- tillery, Friday suffered the extreme penalty of the law for having deserted his command = ing active operations. A detail from the pro- vost guard of the 2d division of the 2d corps performed the sad duty. The culprit addressed his fellow soldiers, ad- moniching them against the crime of desertion.

Sherman’s movee quene and the reported capture of Atlanta, a.] WHEELER’S RAID, From a prisoner captured by General Rous- s8*au, we learn several particulars relative to the. Wheeler raid, of the Binet importance. Woheeler’s force consists of the divisions of Wharton, Kelley, and Howis, and the brigade of Williameon, in all numbering 4,500 men, together with 12 pieces of artillery—9 ty and 3 howitzers. After crossing the Hoiston, the force was divided, one half taking the road to Sparta direct, and the other meving down the Sequatchie Valley; but the two united at Spar- ta again, and proceeded in the direction of McMinnville. The force under Gen. Rousseau, which teft Wednesday night, encountered the rebels about. 7 miles from here, and drove them back. The logs o nboth sides is trifling. At the latest in- telligence last night, our forces were still in ursuit, the rebels, however, falling backsiow- ly. Considerable railroad track has been torn up between here and Murfreesboro. ‘he city was fall of rumors yesterday, rela- tive to victories by Wheeler, and his presence in front of the city, &c., setafloat by leym<- pathizers; but they did not succeed in fright- ening any one. The out and out copperheads divided their time between rejoicing over pba movements and hurrahing for Mce Jlellan. Later.—A courier left Rousseau’s headq uar= ters at 3 o’clock p. m., and arrived here at half past four. Rousseau had driven the rebels to @ point 13 miles from the city, and was still driv< ing them. We had Jost 7 killed, and a number ‘wounded, and picked up 15 dead rebels, and be fies 27 prisoners. 4A TEST.—Another eourier left at 6 p.m., and arrived at eight. Wheeler had then anandoned the railroad and was retreating toward the Tennessee River. Gen. Rousseau, however, hepes to be able to intercept him in his flight.— Nashville Union, Sept. 2d. THE CITY OF ATLANTA.—The city of Atlan- ta contains about twenty thousand inhabitants, five thousand have been added by refageesand Government officials since the war began. Being in the heart of the Gulf States, it was seppoeed to be peculiarly safe and therefore well adapted for armories, arsenals, and su ply depots. It was mereover the centre of the railway system of that section, whence mem and material could be advantageously distri- buted to all points. Three main railroads di- verged from it; the road to Chattanooga on the north; the Georgia road, running east to Char- lestown; and the road on the south, which forks into that leading to Montgo: and Pensacola on the south west, and into that rune ping through Macon to Sa’ on the southe The city is taid out intoa eircle, ten miles in diameter. It forms, says a recent refugee, one vast Government storehouse. Here are located the machine shops of the principal Tailroad; the most extensive rolling mill in the South, foundries, pistol and tent factories, &c. Inaddition, the Government have works for casting shot and shell, making gan carriages, cartridges, caps, shoes, clothing, &c. The steady advance of Sherman throngh or around strongholds of & greatly superior nature has doubtless compelled the transfer of much of the machinery and warlike stores elsewhere. THE LONDON TIMES ON FARRAGUT.—Thé London Times of August 20, in an editorial eed latest war news, says of Admiral Farra- gut: “Admiral Fi it has been the most snce cessful of all the Federal officers. Hieachieve- ment in the present case is, as we have said, precisely, similar to his ions at New Or- leans, although the struggle in this mstance ed pti leh i both cases he as Tun the gauntlet fo} supported by & fleet. At New Orleans the Confederates were very ill prepared; but his success in the prea- ent instance, against what we may suppose ta be the matured defences of two forts, cannot but be instructive to us at atime when weare occupied with a scientific contest between ships and guns. It would seem that where the passage of a fleet cannot be obstructed, it can always run the gauntlet of forts at the ex- pense of a certain amount of loss. The defeat of the Federals before Uharileston has ole pally arigen from the facility with w! the lonfederates have obstructed the channels, and have thus been able to detain the Federal fleet under the fire of their torts. We shall look with interest for the details of this en« gagement, in the expectation that they will thfow some light on this disputed point of naval warfare.” AN ANGLO-REBEL EsTIMATE OF GENERAL Grant.—The Richmond correspondent of the London Times gives the following estimate of erie femposeibl ist speculating “It is impossible to res: culating upom the question whether, after & review of the campaign of the last two months, it is reason- able to pronounce Grant agreat General—to put him on the same platform as Lee. 1 will at once ayow my own conviction, which is shared by every one worth listening to in Se- cessia, that not one of Grant’s predecessors in Virginia have shown one tithe of the tenacity, energy, celerity, and resolution which the re- cent campaign has set down to Grant’s credit. McOlellan, Hooker, Pope, or Burnside would have gone back after the battle of the Wilder- ness, and would never have got such an effort as was made at Spottsylyania Court House outofabeatenarmy. Bat, after giving Grant due credit for vigor in handling his men and Keeping them compactly together (which is the greatest difficulty a Federal General en- counters), 1 am unable to see that his concep~ tion of his campaign was able, though it must be confessed that the strange incompetency of Butler made half of Grant's plan @ fiasco be- fore it was commenced. Tue WeLpon Raileoap.—The Richmond Ropers affect to regard the occupation of the eldon road by Gen. Warren as of minor con- seqnence, but the following, which appears im @ letter to the Petersburg Express, from Hill’s corps, tells a different story: The unsuccessful efforts of our forces ta dislodge the enemy had the effect to still far- ther depress us, and when, during the past five or six days, we learned that theeremy were ually extending their lines down the road, gave way toa feeling of deep de- spair. e ited f for the worst, and many, ‘we regret to say, have realized all and more than they expected.” Though the enemy have since regained the road below him, Gen. Warren still holds on to his position. Oost or Livine in OnIcaco.—A letter wri- ter enys:—The cost of living is higher in Chicago than in any other city in the country, as far as my information goes.
