THE SITUATION. There ts no report of ikter movements at Atianta than ‘hove publiehed yesterday; but we give in our columns to day a bighty interesting narrative of Sherman's bril Hiant feat which hee given Atiauta to the Union army, and demoralized, if not destroyed, the ariny of the onemy. The President bas issued a proclamation ordering that next Sunday shall bea day of thanksgiving for the late @uccesses of the army and navy at Atlanta and fo! A nattonat esiuie is to be fired atthe different arsenals throughout the country at noow to-day. Mr. Lincoln algo tenders the national thanks to Admiral Farragut, General Cauby and General Sherman. Our Washington despatches report cheering prospects ‘shead from other quarters than Atlanta, and hint at the speedy capture of Mobile, and some important movement of General Grant, which will put Richmond tu greater danger than it bas ever been. Latest news from Sheridan is to the effect that the rebele are retreating up the valley, pureued by our troops. General Torbert's cavalry corps started on the Berryville pike and procesded towards Wiachester on Saturday, General Crook’s command—tbe Sixth and Nincteenth corpe—at Berryville, was attacked by the rebelg om that afternoon, and after asevere skirmish repulsed the enemy, Our loss was three bundred kilied and wounded. The enemy suffered a heavier loss by one-third. a0 arrival from New Orleans, with dates to the 28th wit., we learn that on the 22a General Polignac crossed she Missiselppi, between Natcuez and Vicksburg, with a portion of his command. Gen. Herron bad had a contest with the rebels near Baton Rouge, on the Clinton road, in which he kilied one hune dred and fifty of them and took considerable stores. Another fight near Port Hudson, with a similar result, is also reported. Three regiments of rebel troops at Galvoston are said bave mutinied and turned the guns of the fort upon she city, it appears that the soldiers demanded flour rom the commissary stores and were refused, Magruder, who was sent for from Houston, pacified tu» sen by rerving out rations of bacon and flour.

We publish to-day some very interesting news from Mexioo, going far to contradict many of the absurd aud totereeted stories of tho interventionist press in Mexico, Hay and this city. The rumor that Dobiado had abandoned bis country’s cause is indignantly refuted. The campaign of the French against Monterey, the bead juarters of President Juarez, was about to commence, aud the Moxicans were preparing to give their “civil. ‘vers’ a far from civil reception.

Whiskey eoutinued dul! and heavy. Freights were very dull Oar Great Military Sucecs.es—The Pt ticlans and the Presideacy. In Georgia tie confederacy, under Seerman’s eyclopean blows, has fallen into hopeless ruin. Atlanta, the great vital poiut of the confede- racy in that section, is in our possession, and Hood, who had been expected to make it oae of the many last ditches, is in retreat with a heartless remnant of Johnston’s old army. His numbers at Atlapta had been swelled by mili- tia; but militia, which fights but indifferently at any time, cannot retreat at all, and of course he bas by this time lost every man of it. Sher- man will easily finieh him at his leisure, and meantime be may be practically counted out of the struggle. The moral effect of the fall of Atlanta will determine the fall of Mobile. South Carolina is from this time one of the frontier States of the confederacy. On the other frontier in Virginia the struggle promises to yield the grandest results. Grant and Sheri- dan will have the same glorious success that Sherman has had. Large reinforcements are continually on the way to Grant, and Sheridan meanwhile keeps from Lee the only reiuforce- ment that he could possibly count upon. Sup- plies of all kinds, and even ammunition, must soon yan low in Lee’s army, and he has not yet been able to move Grant from the Weldon road. He could not do it in three great attempts, and itis now useless to try it. The result at Rich- :ond is simply a question of time, and is already definitely fixed in our favor. With sueh generals as now control the operations of our armics—with Grant, Sherman and Sheridaa in command—fiiiure is no longer possible. The rebellion has no longer the least hope of euce cess. Iu this great crisis of our country’s history the great armies in Georgia and in Virginia— the armies of the Potomac, the Cumberland, the Tennessee and the Obiv—are not in the remotest manner analogous to the armies that are organized and sent to the field in Europe to fight the private battles of quarrelsome poten- tates. They are not mere armies in any such restricted sense as the word army is generally used in. Those great assemblages of inen are the American people under aims. They ave the committee of the nation who have taken the affairs of the country in hand, and have gone out to settle the great questions of the age. In those armies will be found the stronger men of every social circle; for those armies are the essence, the heart, the brain, the hand of the American people. Those armies, after the struggles and changes of three years, have found their real and wertby leaders, and the leaders of those armies are the natural leaders of tle American people. spectacles in history is to see a nation deciare against its really great men in the face of the most palpable facts; to see the political huck- sters declare that some noneatity of their num- ber is entitled to the sovereign power, while the real Hannibal thunders at the gates of an opposing Rome, and the people accept the decision of the hucksters. We are asked asa people to repeat this spectacle. Our great war has tried as ina furnace every prominent man in the country, and it has proven that there are some few ‘distilled of all our virtues’’—the real types of our greatnoss as a people-—and our worthy leaders, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and staunch old Thomas are the foremost of these—the only men that the country can count upon as reliable leaders in a time of dan- ger. Yet, in the face of tho fact that these men have been proved by the hardest of all tests to be our real leaders, a party of political traders at Baltimore bare told the people that they olight to accept a helpless politician as their leader; another party urges from Cleve- loud another potitician, and a convention of recognized enemies of the government, bold- ing up the bait of a popular name, urge the people also to ignore their great leaders, to vote their way, and make peace. Lt is simple iofatuation—it is national blind- ness--for the people, in the face of the great facts of this war, to be led away from their real leaders, and to follow any one of these corrupt political oliqnes. Indeed, only the Chicago Convention offers the people any reasonable, temptation to ignore such leaders as Grant, Sherman and Sheridan. They raise the name of McClellan to strengthen their feeble cause; but it will not do. It is a name that, asso clated with a noble struggle for the nation: Cause-—with « patriotic desire to save country bonorably—has elicited and will elicit the wildest enthusiasm; but, leagued with pro- positions for national bumiliation, it is not e name that the people will honor. MoClellan is not large enough to cover out of sight the bad points in the Chicago platform. McClellan alone, without @ platform, or McClellan on such a platform as his West Point speech, or on the Congressional declaration that preceded the war, will be a fit rallying point for every lover of the country, As for tbe political cliques of Baltimore and Cleveland, it would be politic in them to reconsider what they have done. Though it is barely possible that our military successes and the Chicago platform may re-elect Old Abe, it is not probable. It is more probable that the choice will go out of the bands of the people. These two divi- sions of the republican party may avoid this, and name @ man absolutely certain of success. Let them withdraw Lincoln, and that retires Fremont; let them unite on another ticket, such as Grant and Sherman, and they will carry the country without any opposition at all; and we will not present in history the anomaly of a nation that chose little men when it had the opportunity to choose great ones. Tur Frexou iv Mextco.—We very often re- ceive reports from Mexico through French sources, which @re invariably unfavorable to the cause of the republic. This is all natural enough; but, tor the credit of their own cause, the French journals and their secession friends ought to try to speak the truth sometimes. It is but afew weeks ago that we were informed that General Dobiado had attempted to desert the liberal cause, and that General Cortinas bad arrested him at Matamoros and compelled him to pay fifty thousand dollars. This turns out to be an inveftion made out of wholo cloth.’ Again, the arrival at New Orleans of President Juarez’s famity was immediately connected wilh a supposed flight of the consti- tutional President trom Monterey. This also turas out to be a falsehood from beginning to end—Juarez being still at the head of bis army. And so on in regard to all we hear through Freuch sources. Fortunately we have our own channels of information, which enable us from time to time to correct the interesied statements of the interventionist press, and to publish the truth concerning the neighboring repub! ‘The news which we publish to-day is of much interest, and shows that the imperia! policy of One of the most pitiful} Napoleon is not meeting with much favor at the hands of the solid men and true patriots of Mexico, Wighting of a severe kind has com- menced in the interior—the very piace where the Mexicans want their invaders—and if the people be only true to themselves aud their leader the smull army of Frenchmen now in tie mountains will never be permitted to re- turn to the sea. This is the only way in which they cau preserve the republic. Tut Recent Bruwtiayr Vicrorms--Onp Ass, Try THem AGatn.—We have just bad two more splendid victories—the capture of the city of Atlanta and the seizure of the rebel cruiser Georgia. Everything gocs on swimmingly for the Union cause. The rebels must see that they cannot succeed. Glve Grant a few more mea, and he will compel Lee to fight, or he will de- stroy every railroad communication with the rebel capital, and force that stronghold to ac- cept the fate of Forts Gaines and Morgan, and surrender or be battered to pieces. There will be no chance for Richmond to be evacuated: it must capitulate or be destroyed. Now is the time for Lincoln to be magnanimous. Now is the time for him to offer an armistice of three months to the rebels, upon such terms as cannot be considered humiliating. It is not necessary that sieges should be raised or blockades aban- doned during the armistice. All that is re- quired is simply a cessation of hostilities, so that negotiations can be more conveniently con- ducted. Let Lincoln immediately send to Riebmond three commissioners, clothed with proper official authority, to open prelimi negotiations. There is no imp this now. Everything is bright and beaming on our side. There will be nothiog humil in it to the South, and it will stop the cl those democrats who desire t riety in doing mor of tw bring about riots and revolution in the North, in order to gratify Louis Napoleon and Lord Palmerston. Tur Custom Hovse.—Mr. Simeon Draper is the lust man who bas b appointed Collector at this port. Old Abe had appointed Mr. Wakeman; but Draper made such a row about it that Old Abe got frightened, gave up bis man, and appointed Draper. Thus it appears that Old Abe cannot even put down the contempti- ble little rebellions and the stoddy party. How, then, can he be expected to put down Jef Davie? This Custom House business makes it clearer than ever that the sensible men of the republican party should compel Old Abe to withdraw from the Presidential ¢auvass, and nominate a man with a backbone. ihe Thoatres, NIBLO'S THEATEE i smablishment opened tast vight for Lue ca) nnd winter seavon with Mr. torrcet in Soakepere’s piay of Corieianus, Notwithstanding the unfavorable weathor, the house was crowded in evory part.
