SrxoAT, July 2Mb, 18C.

Nearly two weeka hare elapsed aince we
, . , i ctaMinwtKC. ttic paartajfe- at tne
. stream was effected at miclnigbt. TUc.hoir full
moon rode grandly aero I lie heavens in the
miot of cumuli of white clouds. Thonglfol
soldiers looked np sadly on iU pale face, during
that night of retreat- They felt that the death-'-
struggle f.r Ai'siiM should be made yon lite north
bank of the Unattahoochee. I bare aeen the yel
low nroon -beams giro an aonalnra) luitrr to the pal
lor of death, and watched their shadbws 'reflected
- in the lueterleae eyes of the fallen. Rrea thou sad
" were tbe laces of oar soldiers. Tlje night' on
wt kh we crossed tbe rirer, so silently, mo asd'r,
will not soon be forgotten by the Army of Ten
nessee. Tlie pontoons were covered with leare
and sand to render noiseless the tread of aroted
legions, and to silence the heary rambling' of ar
tillery and wagon trains. Our moTbtnert was' as
silent and sad, as the ceaseless ma'ch of him,
whom fancy paints armed with the sickle, and
witb vacant scull and flesbleaa har.. reaping the
harrest of dead humanity. .
When tbe river was between us snd the neinr.
our forces wera assigned position, protecting tlie
threatened ct, on its novtbern and eastern ap
. proacbes. Cheatham's Dirision held the crossing
of tbe Geirgia railros j, on the south side of the
bnrned bridge. Bsie'a was assigned a position
north of tbe brid&e, while the great body of our
troops noved along-tbe banks of Peachtree creek,
ia tbe direction of Decatur, six miles north east
from Atlar ia, on tne railroad leading to Augusta.
. Daring the movements of which I can now give
only r. general outline, many collisions occurred
iriLi the enemy. In one of these the Georgia
Jtt troops, tbe first of Gov. Brown's late levies,
were assailed. So body of untrained soldiers
ever eontfuctedthemselres with greater cotrng,
none bare displayed a more commendable spirit.'
Atone time, when enfiladed, in-their hurriedly
constructed earthworks, they maintained a posi
tion trom which experienced soldiers would cer
tainly bare fled. They, on the contrary, evoked
ncoaragement and hope from tbe usual prelude
"-aster. Tbey believed the enenij'a line bro
ken, anu jjy had pnctrated hiscenter.
They fired to Hat "ad left, and finally re
puaaa tneir asi.o Tfie were nurpriat
Bttle, rben ordered to Their ron-
intr
i airy brigade, which I
- T ' . . . J
' tpai, aeai to their support, and whien snuuemy
retreated, knows no boonds.
On the 20th, our line battle was chun ged. It
is not prudent eve now, while the enemy con
fronts ns on ev X band, to define the movements
of corps or- divisions. Ttffe enemy had already
crossed Chattahoochee, eight or ten miles north
of th railroad- . Fowr Army corps were on the
north of reach tree creer, wnicir runs irom
Aorth-east to the'Tiver, within firr six miles of
Atlanta. On tbe 21, re-crossed the creek with
Tyler's brigade; moving sonth towards Atlanta,
All the bridges were burned.' Wo again estab
lished our lines ar.d awaited the advance of Sher
man's columns. On the.banka of the creek, at
many points along its tortuous course, the hills
beyone commanded tbose.on the south side of the
narrow stream. . At such places tbe enemj spee
dily effected a crossing. The firing of our pickets
was continuous. Two years ago, the events of
that afternoon would bare been described as battle-scenes
in interminable letters.
On tbe afternoon of Wednesday, Hardee's corps j
advanced on tho enemy. At three o'clock the fir
ing was general along our whole line. While
Walker's and Cheatham's divisions, an a part of
Stewart's corps, advanced on tbo enemy's f runt.
Bate's division was wheeled on its left, and drove
the enemy in its front across the creek. Walker
on Bate's left met, it seeuts, with more obstinate re
sistance. In tbe advanjfe made hy bis division
Brig. Gen. Stevens was . severely if not mortally
wounded. Cheatham's division, commanded by
Brig. Gen. Manej, met with the same success, dri
ving the enemy into their works. Stewart took
. possession of tbe front line of the enemy's works,
and captured many prisoners but could act hold
tbamtbeeaase of tbe strength of their second line.
- His loss was heavy, especially in Featberston'abrl-.
gad. Bate who was on oar right, swang a round
en bis left and movid steadily forward till nightfall,
when be was ordered to bait, which he did when be
bad gained the Baekhead road, the enemy hav
ing been repulsed at all points and subjected to
heary losses, oar troops were drawn oft" to their en
trenchments. Tbe divisions of Bate and Cheat
bam, after a few hours .rest, were moved on the next
morning at 4 'clock, four or five miles to the right.
Bate returned the same erendg to bis original po
sition and at night, with Hardee's corps, marched
miles, and on next mornit j(Friday) turned tbe
enemy's -left. In the new line of battle, east of At
lanta, Bate's division occupied tLe extreme, right
Wlkerwas on Bate's left. With this division
your correspondent went np9U Ike field. Tbe po
sitlon assigned to Uste, as tba llae moved fprwarj,
was in many res pec is anfortnaat. Lie had not ad
vanced through the dense thicket Interspersed with
narrow morasses and overgrows with briars, more
than a mile and a half, when oar asoats and pick

Let no one hereafter doubt tba confidence of tbe
Army of Tsnnessee in its iw eommander-in-chief,
nor qacstin its ultimate success. Whilo these
events warn transpiring OB tb left Sank of Sher
man's arm', not far from Iweutar, south-east from
Atlanta, Stewart, eotamaeding Polk's corps, an
Cheatham, that of Hood, aiaaUed the eaemy oa tb
north of tb city. They 4 rove tb Federals before
them . with almost nnvar f ing success. At many
points along the line oar troops passed over their
earthwerks. Many gsas and not lea shaa .one
thousand prisoners wera eaptared. " Coal dene, was
restored throughout our army; tbe removal of
Johnston wail no longer questioned as a measure of
publie aeearsity ; tbe spirit of wtr soldiers .was re
invigorated! j
vI cannot recount tbe events of tbe day w.bich
transpired on Friday along Stewart's aad Cheat
ham's liaett. With Hardee's corps, I was only
cognisant of its action, and then only of move
ments on the right of his lines aad never before was I
eonscious of the difficulty incident to tbe compre
hension the movements of armies on tbe battle
field. . No newspaper correspondent, without access
to information derived from field ofllcers.can give a
clear aad comprehensive account .of movements so
involved that even general officers do not. pretend
to comprehend their purpose. If to-day I have
done injustice to any, where all acted 90 well and
gallantly, on to-morrow the wrong ahelt be re-
Pir? 'jfTTUidfcst result the chief subject of self-
grattdation found in tba eveats of the past two
weeks, eossista ta tb reetonttioa of confidence
which now pervades oar army. There Is not a ol

division, iuvinnibVs. There is no toil or fatigue

bentioa and! taxes credulity. Tbey dig trenches and
throw up breastworks in the morning, miles in
length, only to abandon them in the evening."'. Be
fore the snn rises they are again entrenched. I may
state, en jxtiuaiU. while Geo. Heed deems the cap
ture of 1 and color the sole evidences of victo
ry, thct on Friday we captured more spades than
were ever soon la the Confederate States. If our
army would dig Its way to Dalton .as 8herman has
perforated the country to Atlanta, the means are
now in our bands. 0a ths same 4ay Friday, Gen.
WbeelerciitFnred three hv.ndred wagons at Decatur
; On SUunlay, 24th, everything was quiet. "Oar
stragglers vrere gathered in, our own and tb fallen
yankecs wera buried, and tbe" spoilt collected from
the two bstdefields, vhich were seven or eight miles
apart. Tbo enemy still threw shells into the city,
most of thn falling ia the vicinity of tbe railway
station. Dayand night tbe cannonading continued
There was jao cessation on Sunday. A teamster and
an aged woman, too poor to 'escape from the be
leagnred city, haw been killed, aad one child had
its leg shattered. 'A shell has penetrated tbe roof

' We may venture alre'Ij to speak of 'this
campaign of Lee aa the greatest of the many
triumphs of a great Gencv!.' If his p.eri-
ous exploits bad not earned tfc his suoooesini
resistance to the immense amy of Grant

havten disjointed attacks by a general of
a division of 30,000 or 40.000 men.
There has been no effective combination
between his assailants. Sedgowiek does m.t
come op until Hancock is defoutcd. Born-
aidi is somewhere in tbe rear, while War
ron is'beins' annihilated. Thu whole mass
of the Confederate army, kept' well in hand,
and played altogether like the pieces on a
vast chess board, has been :t at work to
cru-h those Generals in detail. Vigor is,
doubtless, a quality most essential for a sol
dier, and this military attribute may be
claimed for Gen. Grant.
Bat tbe history of the campaign so far con
firms the opinion which we ventured to ex
press at tbe outset, .that in science and strat
egy, the qualities which com round succors in
such extended operations. (Jrfcnt is a mere
infant in the. hands of Lee.
Tbe statement! of Northern telegrams, and

wneye tne iontcaernte soldier, invisible to
tbe enemy, can shoot him down nt his leis
ure, tbe guns and rifles of the Southern army
can play with most deadly efl'ect on bodies
of the enemy which muympcril themselves
on the plain in front. ' In the buttle of the
12th the advantages of tbis position were
well seen. The losses of the Confederates
are supposed to have borni no comparison
with thoso nf tbe army of Grant. Tbe slaugh
ter of tbe Federals was such aa bas no paral
lel in history.
, Whole regiments have disappeared from
the muster 10K whole di visit ns have been
annihilated. There is no-rooia for the woun
ded in the town of Fredericksburg, where
the open streets have been 'turned into hos
pital wards, and the foot of man and horse
stumbles as it treads on the gaunt and pros
trate forms of dead and dvine. Tbe wisdom
ef Lee's strategy bas been- terribly vindicated
in ajedgment wbtch recalls to the minds of
remorseful Northerners the -destruction of
the host of Sennacherib by the breath ef God.
