The operations of General Sherman are naw mainly directedstowards securing « position on the Macon railroad, south of Atlanta, With that view, he bas grad‘ialty awung his army round from the @astward, on the Augusta raffroad, and our lines now prews the enemy in © semicircle running porth mat ani southerly, The rebels have strong- ly fortified the Macon railroad from Atlanta to Eastpoint five miles from that city—and the junc- tion ef thesMacon and Montgomery railreads.

Two Nnes of infantry works deiended the ap- proaches to these fortifications end thees im turn are protected with abattia, braided and matted together, and fastened together with willow and “walnut withes, The mere attempt to remove these obstructions would involve » sacrifice of life that would utterly tmpalr the efficiency of the army. The rebels boast, therefore, that At- Tanta is safe is probably true, so far as rolates to the chances of its capture by assault bombardment, But it can, Pe no dow will be taken br iantating ft, and rendering it im- possible for the enemy to feed and maintain the enormous army requiaite for its defence. It is known that General Sherman's plans contemplate not merely the capture of the city, but also the mur- render, or at least, the demoradization of the rebel army. If Atlanta is thus etrongly fortified, Gen. Sher- man's tines are no less imp ¢ to assault, Our works are of a character thatean be held bye single line against an entire diviaion. We are as eafe in onr liner an the rebels are in theirs, Thie would indicate a dead lock, and such is very ncurly the situation, so far as operasians im the immodinte vicinity of Atlanta are concerned. But, vast flank- ing movernents have been tnatitated at distant pointe by both the opposing Gersoralsa, having in Sawin valsing of the siege, or the reduction of cy. Commencing with the rebel opexations we find that they assume a acmewbat threasening charac- ter. It appears that General Hood's ariny has been reinfor ved to an oxtent that enables bimw to defend Atlanta behind the fortifications erocted, and, at the sv me time, spare thirty thousand men for oper- ations eleewhore. Ten thoussnd neg:roee, acconi- ingg to the Bouthern papers, are constantly at work om the fortifientions of Atlante and Fastpoint, and faethe work progresses a leas number of soldiers will be required to hold them, thus increasing the moveable rebel army to ® corresponding extent, These troops, however, will protably be held in check by 8 corresponding number of men released upon our aide by the works Uirown Np by our army, so that We shall have to look eise- where for the causes that are likely to affect more ) directly the fate of the campaign. |} man on an indepencer t General Bhermpan's most vuluerable point con- wiste in his long line of communications from At- lante to Chattanooga, and thence to Nash ville eud the Osio River, [cis the otvect of General Hood to break or cut thie line, and so harr ture the trains, that Ceneral Shen compelled to withdraw lie army jor mdalatence several of these breaks have been mate; within the last month, sud at the present moment, itis ander- stood that the line has been cut in th e vicinity of Big Shanty, near Marietta, A formidable demon- stration was made lately npon Dultoa by General Wheeler, wit! five dheciend mea und. ten pieces of artillery, But our little garrison gallantly beld ther own until the approach of Gerers! §ieadman compelled the enemy to retire, Whoeler's forces were pushed into Kast Tonneses, and threatened Knoxville, but turned fn the direction of Nashville, and are now ing near Murfroesboro, to cus our lines with the from. Wheeler, it appears, crossed the Tennessee, neur Kingetom on we 29th of August, and divided his forces—?ncroased, it is said, to 3000 men—into two badles, which marched toward McMinvilMle and Tebanon., The latter place has been captured by Wheeler, who in med to be making for dhe Louisvilie & Nash- le Railroad.
