The General Commanding announces to the
troops composing :he Military' Division of the
Mississippi that he has received from the Fresi
d> nt of The United States anct from Lieutenant
General Grant, letters conveying their high sense
and appreciation of he.campaign jest closed, re
sulting in the capture of Savannah and the de
feat of I food’s array in Tennessee.
In order that all may understand the import
ance of evcuts, it is proper to revert to the situa
tion of a/fairn'in September last. We held At
lanta, a city of iit tie value tons, but so impor
tant to the -uemy that Mr. l)ai in. Ihe head of
the rrlx*llious faction in the South, visited the
array near Palmetto, and commanded it to re
gain it, as wf-M as to ntin’and destroy us by a
series of measures which he thought would be
effectual. That amiy by a rapid march gained
onr railroad at Big Shanty, and afterwards about
Dalton. We pnrsued it, but it moved so rapidly
that v:e cotcki not overtake it, and General llood
it'd hia army sucuossfiiliy far over towards Mis
sissippi, in hopes to decoy ns out of Georgia.—
Put wc were not thus to be led way by him,
and preferred to Lead and control events our
ecivep. Generals Thomas and Schofield, com
manding I)<*par;nv;nts in our rear, returned to
their posts and prepared to decoy General Hood
into their mesho*, whilst we came on to com
plete the original journey. We quietly and de
liberately destroyed Atlanta and all the railroads
which the enemy had used to cany on war
against us, occupied his State Capital, ana then
captured bis commercial capital, which had been
so strongly fortified from the sea re to defy ap
proach from that quarter,
Almost at the moment of onr victorious entry
into Savannah, came the welcome and expected
news that our comrades in Tennessee had also
fulfilled nobly and well their part, bad decoyed
General Hood to Nashville, and then turned on
him. defeating hie array thoroughly, enpfnring
nearly nil Isis artillery, great numbers of prison
ers, and were etill pursuing the fragments down
into Alabama. So complete a success in milita
ry operation*', extending over half a continent, is
an achievement that entitles it to a place in the
military h istory of the world. The armie« serv
ing in Georgia and Tennesson, as well as ihe lo
cal jfftrrisor,'- of Decatur, Bridgeport. Chattanoo
ga, and Murfreesboro, are alike entitled to the
common honors, and each regiment may in
scribe on 4ts colors at pi*.•.•retire thq words‘‘Sa
vannah” or ■ 'Nashville.’
Thi‘ General-in Chief embraces in the same
general success the operations of ihe cavalry
column under Generals Stoneman and Barbricge,
and Giiicra, that, penetrates into South-west Vir
ginia and para IRedthe efforts of the enemy to
cib tnrb the peace and safety of East Tennessee.
Instead of being put on the defensive, we have
at all po n.s assumed the bold offensive, and
completely thwarted the a nd. .signs of the enemies
of onr country. By order of
M.'ijc-r Gire rel W. T. SHERMAN.
