era THE DAILY MEL. GHIPFIN, Oau . TUESDAY EVENING. JJXY 28. 18G4. Iatest from the Froiit. Perfect atiUmas prevailed along ths lines yes terday. There was no movement of irkber part, and but little shelling of the city, eitfceryesterday or this moral&f. A general opinion prevails in the army that there will be no general engagement for several day, baaed upon tLe belief, - probably,, that whichever aide may make the attack, will bo repulsed and damaged. We do not belief e, how ever, that the proximity of the two attnies and the general situation will admit of great delay in ac tive operation. A eolation of the problem which involves our success, or the fall of Atlanta, must mood dxur. 4Q eV That was a very heavy practioal Joke play ed off by Oeo. N. Saunders upon tfreoiy and Lin coln on the subject of negotiations for peace. It is not astonishing that Lincoln, overwhelmed aod confused as he is by the difficulties "the situa tion" and seeing no -road to extrication, should snap at a proposition .each as that presented by the great practical Joker, bet that Greeley, the shrewd, aou astute editor, who U not often deceived, and who knows George Saunders psisonally, and is familiar with hla waggeries, sheald bare been taken in, proves tho overpowering anxiety of the Northern people for some oatlet from their difficul ties and their willingness to negotiate. The fact is that from the President to the clod hopper, the Northern people now recognise tho fact that the toils are clonics; around them; that tbe war is a ail ore: subjugation an impossibility, and bankruptcy aod universal ruin, threatening and imminent. They axe ready to seiso upon any thing wbiclproinie re lief and Wet j, from negotiations with ns to revolu tion among themselves. Those who live in the North during the next three months will"aetr sights and Bear noises." .. It is generally belt red in the army, and so reported by yackce prisoners, that Haj. General Frank Blair was captured by our forces in the fight of Friday, and that he is now conccaliog him self in the disguise of a private, wiiih the view, probably, of getting an earlier exchange than be would get if his rank was known. The crowd of prisoners should be thoroughly searc hed and tbe rascal ferreted out. No ono who has .,ver seen his face eould forget It, for It I. th. embodiment of branny imptidenco and assurance, lion, creorge W. Jones, and Col. John II. Savage, now in this place, we believe served in the old congrens with him, and would bo able to identify his bang-dog countenance. Tho prisoners, we are informed, will pass through Griffit. on their way south to-day. For want of transportation they are on foot. Col. L. J. Dupre, late editor of the Atlanta Register, arrived in town last night from the army Tennessee, with which be has been since it crossed the Chattahoochee. A very long list of the wounded received in hospitals at this place, will be publhhed in our morning's issue. Kpeelal Army Correspondence. Atljxta, Friday night, July 24, 1864. But little has occurred at the front to-day worthy of note. The yankee raid towards Covington, referrsd to in my letter of yesterday, has returned afterburn ing the depot at Conyers' station and the bridge over Yellow creek. Their line has been, still further contracted J.y withdrawing their left from Decatur, uo.l concen trating on their right and centre. Gea. Wheeler succeeded in capturing a forage train of about 40 wagons at Decatur o;a yesterday. From prisoners brought in to-dty and other sour ces of information, we haTe reliable evidence of the death of Gen's Mcpherson and Smith. . They admit a heavy loss from the operations of Friday, and some demoralisation among th , How far tbe Interest of th country has been r obm'", a by the recent change of commanders of the Army of Tennessee the future alone ran deter- mine ; 1 must say, however, that I am gratified at the energy and enterprise displayed by Gen. Hood, and have reason to believe that it wlEI soon make him as great a favorite with his troops as was his predecessor. The Army of Tennessee vants rueret and are willing to be subjected to any ordeal and follow any leader under whom it can Ee achieved Their superior gallantry was frankly conceded by on of the Yankee officers who fell into oar hands in Friday's fight, by calling attention to the fact that w'hile they had been repulsed ia as attempt to storm onr works with a force seven columns deep we. had carried theirs in the recent fighii with a sin gle line. As an evidence of Gen. Hood's determination to increase the strength and efficiency of tbe army, I was shown to-day an order just butted, from head quarters, requiring all able-bodied men in .th dif ferent departments to report at one at the front; and requiring, whenever it can possibly be done, the heads of departments to perform their' own clerieal labor, and, wben that is Impracticable, the employment of men nnfitted for the Held, '..bis order is directed, not OUly to Quarterns isters, Cm aaUiarles, Commandants of Posts, Ptovost Uar shala .and Surgeons, bat also to th Generals. Enforced, as I have assurance he intend it kail be, it will bring sevoral thousand additional met to th Held. It will be received with groat aatis Tac tion by our gallant men now confrontia the en toy, and I trust will not meet the dlrpleasiire even of thoso upon whom it b intended to operate. Tbe sentiment behind tbe army shoald contribute to its enforcement. ' ' " ' I have reason, to believe, raJs"tbjA a itop. baa been taken designed to increase the efficiency of the cavalry. " I regret to say it ia generally con ceived that there is room for improvement. It is composed ot a fine body of brave ittd patriotic men, embracing many gallant and aklllftil o (Seers, yet every one lias felt that it baa not accomplished all that it ought to have accomplished. Among tbe many iucidenU connected with tbe recent defence of Atlanta, I bare heard of two by no means creditable to many of it citizens. On th evening previous to the recent engagement, the energetic and efficient Proroat lfaribal Gener al of the Army, Col. Hill, mad an imrnest ap peal to the citizens of Atlanta, to imitat tbe ex . ample of the citizen of Richmond, Petersburg and other places, by rallying to ' th defense ef their homes and families. The appeal instead of baring the desired effect produced a "general etam pede. I must not fail to mention, however, that' there were some honorable exceptions, trho offered their set-rices and are still on doty. I bar beard bw, from what I deem reliable aotltority, that some of the wounded yankee officers art now com fortably quartered in private families la Atlanta, and are looked to, no doubt, as a raeims of pro tection, ehomj th encmr get . conduct should not be concealed, but deserves 1o be repro bated. ...... - Information has bee oeiT4 taroug,, oar scoots, fthat a fore oi federal atrj, estimated from 3000 to 5000 were sent from Sherman's rear to De catur, Alabama, about th lStWtut, !rby repre sented themselves as reiaforeeeaeat. tot Grant, en roat by way of Nashville, bat thy se3! u intend ed for some other purpose.

Wo bad a conversation with an intelligent gen tleman from our array. in Maryland, who arrived her last night, baring been within thro sail? of Washington City, with th Confederate cavalry .Mondsy at 1 Vclock. He gives some interesting particulars aboet tbe "raiders" in that 8tato, some of which we can make public. Tb cavalry on Monday was in thro mile of Washington City, aad met on. th roa&s leading from th city many citiseas who had cor oat from th pl&es, not desiring to b then when It was 'tiartied by asasolt," as they rapposed it woald be. Sereral of thesu claimed to bn good Meoah,M and said they hoped r troop would go ia, that now was th time. Th soldiers there, they said, wer all heavy artillery , men, aad more of them new 100 days from th North.

H refased to take pay for them. : At Buldmore, oar cavalry was hoveriog e round the fcrwa in sight of its fortifications, which ar aboat tw mils distant front tb city. Tb Yan kees are all inside of th works and bar no pickets oat, ear cavalry basing run into town the few they did have oat. Governor Bradford's house, which was barned, was within a stoue's throw of ono of tdf works so cloee that a Yankee hallooed ont "never ssiad, d d yo, we'll pay you fVnr that" To this a ragged rebel replied, begging him not to mind that little bill, that tbe Confederates intended to born Baltimore tb next day, and be could set tle it all at once. Citiseas who came ont of Baltimore .said that th place eoald eaiiljr be taken by - the cavalry then around It, as tbe soldiers of tbo garrison wer oat aiding Gen. Lew Wallace in a search for a Urge body of robe? Infantry, which were reported to bo near Monoeaey Bridge. Tb fight at th Monoeaey bridge, our informant says, was just no fight at all. fit was a run, and if the yaakees lost one thousand men, most of them mast have broken their necks running. There wasn't a soldier with Wallace who fired more than one. They foand the rebels getting around them in all directions, and, using discretion, to their heels. Tb on haodred days' mea are described as "splendid." They all bad on nioo new uniforms, shiny brass buttons, aad muskets as bright as if they bad just come oat of tbe store. They also had bran -new shoes, many pairs of which some of the rebels in delica' health, who bad irotten their feet wet. war foread to borrow. These warriors didn't seem disposed to hart anybody, Some of them didat know which end of a cartridge wont in first, and the general impression anion j; them was that tb regulation mode of ge'U m the ramrod oat of a gun was to blow it oat. Softs PesnrIrania men who wore in Maryland, and had not been able o make tboir escape back borne, war quite talkative to oar troops.

They say that their Republican neighbors wont eome out to defend their botae, though Curtin's call baa been ont a Weak. These miscegenators ssy tbey. cannot join tb patriots for a hundred days any more than a hundred years, as one day among the rebels might damage them beyood repair at any price. They say there ar no regular troops about there now that can ba sent oat to arum them up, as was done daring tb Invasion but year, and ther intend to stay st bom and smok their pipes in jeee. -Gen.

Droves of fat eat tie. bogs, sheep, &c., throng the roads. Tbe gentleman from whom we get these facts sajs that in coining back from near Balti more, on the route by way of Shepherdetown, he " didn't see as tqaoh as a chicken left." : A teport was rireuUtod at the North about three weeks ago, that the Confederate were bout to make an effort to release the prison ers at Point Lookout, whereupon, .according to the statements of persons irho came out from Baltimore, the Government : j every steamer M (nm 4..

Hers is tbe powerful mounrca, who dares also to call himself Cath olic, being' outside our Holy Church, and who forgets the judgment of God which awaits him for bis crimes. This monarch persecutes with a ferocious cruelty the Po lish nation, and he had undertaken the im pious tauk of extirpating the Catholic religion in Polautd, and of introducing schism by force. Tbe Priests of that Catholic re-, ligicn are forcibly taken from their flocks; others are exiled; others again are condemed to forced labor or to infamous punishment. Ilsppy are those who have been able to fly, and who now wander without an asylum in a foreign land. Churches are profaned; others are shut on amount of the absence of tbe Priests. Finally this arrogant potentate has arrogated to himself a poirer which even the Vicar of Christ does not posiiess. After having torn from his Diocese, exiled, and kept in captivity for a year, our well beXDvedTtoo, the Archbishop of Warsaw, he has dared to deprive him of that charge Thich he bad conferred u'pon hum.

Resralatktts ef a Deanecratle FapeiwSeav . albleTaUu That sterling war democratic paper, tha Chieago Post,' contains the following revel ations relative to copperhead secret organixa tion: . . There is a party in this coun try in favor of peace on any terms , There ii a party in this oounitry who wan$'"m' peacjRow vrho Waal to stop tho vfi at it present stage, and whs) want tho Union to4isolved sow la tho Taia .'delusloo. that - in the ceneml wmek of all things that would follow, -the psotile-would aa an escape fr wn . anarchy, be ltd lata the formation of another fjnion, witll &PW constitution framed as on? eon. que ring and victorious neighbors might dic tate. -Thei-e is such party in Illinois, and early in A agust they propose to bold a pub lie. Meeting in Peoria in this state, where tbejr. will vsntillate their peculiar doctrines and givt exprewuon to their determination for the future. Ihey have increased in number because their organiiaation has been a secret one with in locked doors and associates bound not to divulge the proceedings. They have lashed themselves into fury, and have arrived at the conclusion that the rest of mankind were equally as foolish as themselves. Seeing no one, admitting no one but the initiated to their deliberations, they have increased in noiabers by thousands who would not dare to iippear in public in connection with, such an organisation. There beiug but one side to sdl their discussions, there beiug no oposi tion to their propositions, they have concluded that they represent the moral and political sentiments of tho whole people. They at last: propose to hold a public mooting, and that is to be held at Peoria. There can bo no question of the existence of this treasonable organization; and it is eqs ally certain it is isimilar to the one es tablished all over the South, previous to tho rebellion. It is a reorganization of the par ty of Knights of tbo Golden Circle," and has for its object a bloody revolution in tho North. The Post Bays: There they intend if possible to scare tho Democratic party into their measures; to hold the threat of defection over the Democratic party with a view of coercing it into a formal declaration of hostility to the prosecution of the war for any purpose. Tho Democratic patty have been too long accustomed to tho aiwainistration of the government not to be UmrougMy tod as K UiuUajvr iba pecple towards their country in time of pes.ee as well as war. They know that no man can consent to a dis wlution of the Union, a recognition of the Confederacy, nncj general dismemberment of tbe nation, without being guilty of treason andl perfidy; they know that it is the duty of all men to uphold the nation by every possi ble means, aod the threats of malcontents, an& designing men whose hearts aYe with the rebellion, and its success will not prevent them from declaring what that duty is, and their purpose to pursue it to tho letter. ThoPot is mistaken in ono thing; these men will control the Chicago Convention ; will give the candidato and platform to the democracy ;.and if there is a split, the War Democrats- will be the secede. Tho "dem ocratic" organization is completely in the bands of these abettors of treason ; and the sooner War Democrats undctund this, and act, upou it, the better. XfCitt CONCKIiSS.
