Village sifter villsge, and town after town was gradually abandoned to the enemy. but the poraibUily and the hope or recovery was never wholly piven up. The expedition of Bragg into Kentucky, bat for certain blunder, of strategy needless hers to revive to criti cism, would have restored to ns all that was before lost.

There is too little of certainty in eUher.^Bat • If Atlanta should fall, Ihecampaigri, fir that reison, is by no means at an end. Sherman, nor; his masters, will never fully appreciate the hazzard of this - invasion until he Gads himself in Atlanta, if he should be able to reach it.. The long threatened line of communication will be cut at last, and that will not be all. As the circumstance of war changes the complexion of the general situation, and as Other campaigns are de cided and other armies relieved, so will" Ifao fate of Sherman be decided. It is" not more astounding that the invader who has taken-New Orleans, and Nashville, and Memphis, should finally take Atlanta which, in point of.defense, has less advan tages than all.
