Se!xn>.u Fjkld OioiKas’l No. 6. ) 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.
