The Capture Of Atlanta, Georgia, Sep.t 2.D 1864. By the Union Army, under Major Gen.l Sherman. On the 30.th August, the Union Army, by the masterly strategy of Gen.l Sherman, made a rapid flank movement, cutting the Rail Road south of the City, attacking the rebels at Jonesboro, and capturing their guns and defences there. Hood, the rebel commander, finding himself completely outgeneraled, set fire to his stores, blew up his magazines, and "skedaddled." Gen.Slocum with the 20th Corps occupied the place and thus in the thrilling words of Sherman, "Atlanta is ours and fairly won.!!
