What was the Union general who captured Atlanta and marched to the sea?
None. Grant had become General-in-Chief, and he was not interested in capturing cities, only in destroying armies. His orders to Sherman were to destroy the Army of Tennessee, wherever it was, and chase it into the mountains if necessary. Sherman had not succeeded in doing this, but when that army took refuge in Atlanta, Sherman decided to occupy the city, even though the enemy managed to escape. One reason was that the capture of Atlanta would make big news in the North, and it was the kind of morale-raising victory that would help Lincoln win the upcoming election. The other was that Sherman was figuring out a way to get free of his over-long supply-line, that was always being attacked by Confederate cavalry. Noting that the rich Georgia farmland had enjoyed a good harvest, he realised that he could live off the land, forget his supply-line, and meanwhile conduct punitive raids on the farms that helped to victual the Confederates in the field. That is when he planned his March to the Sea.
