THE FRONT.
ATLAWTA, July .7, 1864—12 M.
There ia no material change in the aifua-
tiob on the-Chattahoochee. The army ’ is
in bn immensely strong position north of
the Bridge, while proper step* have been
taken to anticipate the tldaigns of the ene
my on- our left.
A small squad of Federal cavalry took
-possession of Roswell Factory, on our
right, day hcfdfb yesterday morning. They
told the operatives to continue their work
and trade for prOnskraa, but to furnish
no boppliea acathrof the river. -
The enemy on the left ere said to be in
force at Baker's Ferry and in the neigh
borhood of Campbsllton. Don bileu they
will attempt the crospiQg at ibis point, sad
will endeavor to repeat the manceuvre of '
the Etowah, flanking back to the State
Road, with, the design of pressing oar
army hack.
There is soma little uneasiness mani
fested on the part of civilians, but the
military ara more* than ever <y>nfident,
knowing and-pluOky.

JVlcuTi. £Jilon:—Xa article in the C
federafy of The 28th, entitled ’‘Confeder
ate Cavalry,” does such grow injustice to
the many -brave men who serve their
country in that branch of the army that I
feel constrained to give a few facts on the
other side- of * the. question. The deeds
accomplished by our infantry are patent
to all, and need no comparison to make
them appear brighter.'
That a thin line of cavalry is not equal
toaUawof infantry I admit; that our.
cavalry is not equal, as cavalry, U> the
ftaided squadrons of the old world, 1 alio
admit. Since, their first entry into the
service they have ’been almost consUntlr-
before the enemy, and had no lima to drill
or train themselves or their beraes. While
bur infantry have had long seasons of rest
in permanent cany*, where they could be
perfected in discipline end equipment, the
cavalry, between them and the enemy, baa
scarcely evRr'fcnowj one week of uointer-
»opted repbke. Daring the last fall and
winter, JackaMft division, in Mississippi,
was almost constantly engaged for weeks
at a time with superior number of Federal*
t ^rivers, exposed to
MI the vioimitndasJif the weather, while
a large force of infantry lay in quartets
at Canton, within hearing of the enemy’s
guns, but were never called on to fight
because the. “useless and expensive” cav
alry kept that enemy at bay.
ltead the report of the fight at Straight
Fence Creek, where Gan. Jackson, with
about 2,500 men, kept back a forte of
12.00ft infantry and artillery, under Gen.
McPherson, for two days. At Thompson’s
station in Tennessee, Gen. Van Dorn and
Forrest, with less than 3,000 men, sur
rounded and captured, after five hours’
hard fighting, an eaual force of Yankee
infantry. Very “umew.and expensive,”
t it T Van Dorn's raid into Molly
Springs was “uselssff.and expensive,” as
well as the series of engagements Vetveen
Columbia and Franklin, Tenn., where;

One of the chief elements of this rebellion ia
the opposition of the slave aristocracy to being
ruled by men who have risen from ths^auks
of the people. This aristooraay hated Mr.
Lincoln btcauge he was of hnmbie origin, a
rail-eplitter In early life. One of them, the
private secretary of Howell Oobb, grid to me
one day, after a long conversation, « Wo pao-
plo of tho South will not submit to be govern
ed by a maa who has oome up from the ranks
of the common people, as Abe Lincoln hse.”
He uttered ths essentia,foeling and spirit
of this Southern rebellion. N°W U has Just
occurred to me, if -this ariitooracy ii so vio
lently opposed to feeing governed by Mr. Lin-
coin, what in the name of cooicience will it do

The question is whether n man is capable of

government vis mad* for ths couvcnienct of

properly prepared, nothing remains to be ef
