On September 2, a committee of Mayor James Calhoun and Union-leaning citizens William Markham, Jonathan Norcross, and Edward Rawson met a captain on the staff of Maj. Gen. Henry W. Slocum and surrendered the city.[1]

南军9月2日投降

Sherman sent a telegram to Washington reading, "Atlanta is ours, and fairly won" and he established his headquarters there on September 7, where he stayed for two months.
谢耳曼接受投降,向华盛顿发出电报:"亚特兰大是我们的了,并且是公平的赢得的"。 7日,谢在亚特兰大建立了总部,并驻扎2个月。

That same day, Sherman ordered the civilian population to evacuate.[2] His forces occupied the city for several months, and he then ordered Atlanta burned to the ground on November 11 in preparation for his punitive march south.

同一天,谢发出命令,将民众全部驱逐出亚特兰大。此后他强制占领了亚市数月。11月11日,在向南继续进发前,谢下令将城市焚毁。

After a plea by Father Thomas O'Reilly of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Sherman did not burn the city's churches or hospitals.

经神甫求情,谢保留了教堂及医院,未与焚毁。

However, the remaining war resources were then destroyed in the aftermath and in Sherman's March to the Sea. As General Sherman departed Atlanta at 7:00 a.m. on November 15 with the bulk of his army, he noted his handiwork:

但是,在后继的战事中,亚市剩余的部分仍然遭到了破坏。
