Connoll s, Rebel View of the Situatl The Rohmond Examrven of Monday last takes the following view of the military situation : The enemy cannot get Richmond exce; the same blunders whieh surrenderod North Georgia, and Atlanta, They are concentrat- ing on Graut, aud we should concentrate on Lee. Ali that is for the prerent needed in Georgia is a commanding general copyble of securing the confi- ence o; the army an ne there. It is not mere- by a man Who can charge buyonete and rush boldly gpon earthworks that is wanted tn Georgia, but eng who bas a'so enough stratezy to avoid being tricked out of av tal position without a reapectable fight. Toe wantin Georgia ie a comm ander of tulent« end approved repul but in Virg! want ie rien, for we are supplied with ac No positive resuita can vow be expected from the Western campa'gn. The determination of the executive power to interfere in that campaign is su apveterate, and the remuits of this interference have been so deplorab!r, that the country bus ceased to expect anything deeisivein the West, It will be ewontent hereafter if the army there «hall bold its own, Itisin Virginia that the decisive operations of the warare totake place, The lets ure made up here, and t contests will be decided by Lee and the Ariny « rthern Georgia. If we wake sure n this tleatre, we secure it for the racy. We cannot, therefore, afford to run any risks in this quarter, A single division of the army, porsilly a slagle brigade or regiment ont of plae in Virginian, may cause the loss of a ent battle, The danger of the Confoceracy is not ‘om Bhermep, it is not from Grant, itis not from the scarcity of troops, but is from that ju:fotuation, from that ev!] genius of our cause, that persiate in dividing our armies on the eve of important and decisive engagements, GENERAL SHERMAN, Scenes at Atlanta. The captyre of Atlanta has afforded to General Sherman's army a much needed opportunity, whieh ts being trnproved, for reset and recuperation, There @asa singular absence of bitterness and animosity between the Uron and Confederate soldiers at points where they carne In contact They met, in fact, ratber as old friends than as foes that had een latcly contending in deadly combat, and ecomed to talk of their fighta av veterans of the same company or regiment, This feeling was also snanifested by the inhabitants to a greater decree | than in any other that ona fallen into our e ession, When the taunt first entered . ther manilested the urmost eagerness to attain possession of the which was pund thers, ana fox whicb ther epryae @ bere rge cits eth Cor, toDacce YO Yeared with more than the longing of the children of Isracl for the flesh-pots of Fgype.

General Slocum ap- Pointed & Provost Marshal aod post commandant as speedily ea possible and in afew hours complete order was restored. Every attempt at disturbance was promptly checked, and met severe punish. ment. The citizens, in a short time, enjoyed more security and protection than they had known for Months It appears that after the main body of the rebel army hed lef the city # regiment of cavalry behind was detached by Gen, Mood to act ae akir- mishers, and chea’s our advance. This force im- tmoadiately set to plundering, and committed the Srossest outrages and violence upon the inhabi- tants, Houses vaere burned, and people who re- fused to comply with thelr demands for money end Liquor were bee ten and abused. Dol Cogewe! i, the post commander, immediately after bis appo' tment, fsrued an order to the effect that al! forall ee whose male members were in the rebel army, or who had gone Bouth, should leave the city and go Bouth within five days. Northern Pereons not peonneeted with the army were alao re- quired to mve, and male residents ver: ordered to rogisiers their names within five days, These orders we re subsequently issued in a more enlarg- ed and more comprehensive shape by Genernl Shermar , and ted to the establishment of « tem- porary truce with General Hood, and » neutral around. was declared in order to facilitate (he trans- portat ion of Southern sympathisers from our lines. (ene: -al Sherman's determination to make Atlanta 8m re military post, and to free himself from the trai amels imposed by the presence of civilians ori- aiv ated these orders, which provoked the most €® ergetic protests from the rebel General Hood.

Ratway Post Orricrs.lo @ previour oumber of Tar Ses allusion waa made to the es- tablishment, by the Post Office Departinent, of a system of railway post officea, The arrangements ere now all completed, aud it is announced that on Monday the new «ystom will go into operation on the line between thie city and Washington, and that it will be extended to other leading lines throughout the country, as soon aa the necessary eare can be constructed, The care employed for this purpose will bave all the functions of a regular post office. A superintendent and four clerke will te the force employed on each car, sud their duties will be exactly similar to those of ordinary post office employees, On the line between New York and Washington, mails will be taken for all the pnncipal offices Newark, Trenton, Philadelpbis, Wilmington, Havre de Grace and Baltimore, and also for connections with these cities, The work of preparing for distributing and = ar- ranging mails to go to points not on the main line, will all be done on the car, and will therefore grentiy facilitate their travsrales on, The advantages of this system are very great, For instance; mail matter, under the old system, dispatched from points South of Now York to points Bast, had to be brought to this city, aud the time consumed ja artenging it for transfer necessitated the loss of @ train, and frequent!y of a whole day. The seme is true with regard to every othor point: aud, since al! this delay will be now obviated, the advantages of the new system are ob+ vious, The syaterm of railway post-offices bas long been in succeseul operation iu Europe and the only reasou why it as not been heretofore adopted in thie country is the opposition of the railway companies, who are, to some extent, inconvenienced thereby.
