The Designs of Plysses.
The Richmond Enquirer of the 6th
(Monday) throws some light upon the
manoeuvres and designs of Grant »round
Richmond. That unconditional flanker
has, for the'last three days, been en
deavoring to break’ through the lines of
General Lee, at a place called Turkey
Ridge, which commands the two bridge
sites known as McClellan and Grape Vine
Bridges. These rites are between New
Bridge and the railroad bridge over the
Chickahomiffy. The Divisions of Generals
Breckinridge and Hoke have sustained
the assaults of the enrftny, repulsing every
effort, and are still holding this important
ridge. Why Grant persists so much inaa-
■aulting this particular part of the line,
and continues his eSorts, notwithstanding
the immense slaughter of his troops, will
be found in the urgent necessity for his
crossing the Chickshominy and making
his way to the James River for supplies.
Unless he continues his flsnk movement,
I or U he falls back to the White Reuse, he
L confesses defeat; hence hi* persistent
ft effort at Turkey Ridge, notwithstanding
a the wholesale slaughter that has attended
fthis attacks. A rumor was current Satur-
■ day and Sunday of tho capture of a courier
■ from Grant to his chief commissary, direct
W ing him to economize his supplies, as he
I could get no more nntil he reached the
t Jamea River.
' It was across A ete bridges that McCleK
lan reinforoed Gen, Keyes at the battle
Seven Pines, and again sent reinforcements
to Fits John Porter st the battle of Gaines'
Mill. Across these bridges McClellan
withdrew bis defeated army from Gaines’
Mill when he began his "change of base 1
to Harrison's Landing. These bridges are
now as necessary to Grant as they wero
McClellan. Without their on disturbed
use he can neithor move on Richmond
continue his flsnk movement, which keeps
up appearances and deceives his credulous
people at .home. Without these bridges
he must more on roads that lead away
from Richmond, and find his base on the
Wnlasy, at the White M on tin
uus, below the mouth of the Chicka-
hominy. The importance of these bridges
plains Grant’s persistent and murderous
Sorts for Turkey Ridge.

one of his political essays, says: " We

The announcement of the death of
Brigadier General George Pierce Doles, of
Georgia, will be received with universal
regret, and will prod oca among the people
bis native State a profound sensation of
grief. T» a vast circle of friends and ac
quaintances, the tidings will hare a painful
and crushing effect. Hero, among
who knew him best and loved him most,
will the grief be deeper and more enduring.
The old and young, the brave and timid,
the roogh and gentle, have been swept
away by the storm of battle—Thousands of
the purest hearts and bravest spirits of the
South have passed from IKe todeath, in
thedefense of home snd country; bn»,
among the heroic dead, sleeps not a nobler
or purer spirit than his of whom we write.
Pierced through the left breast by a Minie
ball, be fell on the battle field near Cold
Harter, June 2d, 1864, in the fall vigor of
mind and body. Gen. Doles was, we be
lieve, a native of Baldwin county. State of
Georgia, and, at the time of his death,
about 40 years of sge. By nature, he sras
gentle, kind, forgiviog, charitable and
brave—a devoted hoaband and father and
a steadfast friend. Although modest to
an extreme, he was resolute snd unflinch
ing. He was a soldier by taste, inclina
tion and self-education. ’Although not a
graduate of any military institution, Gen.
Doles was familiar with every arm of the
service, and so extensive and varied was
this information -that the principles and
details of every branch of the profession
were clearly and practically understood by
him.
At the commencement of hostilities, he
was in command, as captain,of the “Bald
win Bines," one of the oldest and best
drilled volunteer companies in the State
of Georgia. Tbit splendid company he
'had the honor to- carry into the service,
and, withTt, to organ : ze the 4th Regiment
of Gheorgi* Volunteers. Id May, 1861, st
Gosport Navy Yard, Vs., he was elected
Colorfelof the regiment, and entered at
once upon the discharge of his duties.—
By his genial disposition, polite manners,
strict discipline snd prompt obedience to
orders, be won the admiration of inferi
ors as well as superiors, of citizens os well
as soldiers. The excellent character of the
regiment, sustained, as it was, by intelli
gent and polished Southern youths, under
his administration acquired a permanence
and splendor that will not be forgotten by
the people of Nansemond county, where it
was stationed for’ a period of twelve
months. Under his direction, the regi«
ment attuned that proficiency in drill and
manoeuvre for which it was so justly cele
brated and for which it was so much ad
mired.
On the 19th day of May, 1862, Ool.
Doles, with his regiment, left "Camp Jack-
eon" for the city of Richmond, to take on
active part in the bloody scenes soon
follow, on the banks of the Chickahominy
river. On the 21st of May, 1862, Doles 1
regiment (being the right of Blanchard’s
brigade) moved to take a position on the
battle-field of "Seven Tines." The ene
my were at the time sullenly retiring.—
The appearance of the 4th Georgia attrac
ted universal attention. Those Georgians
who saw the regment file dowfi the Wil
liamsburg road that morning, felt a glow
of pride, _and a swell of exaltation. Every,
step was cadanced, every limb elastic, with
compact and closed Tanks, -with the pre
cision and regularity of unity, the regi
ment moved on the field of battle.
On the 25th day of June, 1862, at 8
o'clock A. M., and while on picket, the
enemy, under Gen. Heamey, advanced
suddenly against our line. Doles quickly
assembled three companies as skirmishers
and disputed the hostile advance. This
was his first engagemext, and well did he
sustain his previous character, and realize
the fondest expectations of. his friends.
From 8 o’clock A. M. till 12 M., with three
small companies, he kept the entire 20th
Indiana regiment at bay. The want of
ammunition and support caused his little
band to fall - back to the “lines," when,
after being supplied, the regiment was
formed, and with Doles at the head, a
charge was made, resulting in a complete
rout of the enemy and a terrible loss of
men.
A writer, speaking of the regiment dar
ing this day’s fight, said, “the 4th Georgia
fought like devils." -At Malvern Hill, led
on by Doles, the x'egiment again made a
splendid charge, but from the loes of men
and want of support, the assault failed.
In the charge, Col; Doles was so disabled
by a shell that he had to retire to the rear
after the fight.
On the 1st day -of November, 1862, he
was promoted to Brigadier General, since
tvhich time he has been identified with,
and has borne a conspicuous part in all
the battles of Lee’s^rmy. He rendered
signal and splendid service at Sbarpsbnrg,
Gettysburg and Chancelloraville, always
attracting plaudits by his soldierly bear
ing on the field, and challenging the ad
miration of all.
He fell while the elements of death were
raging aronnd him. With a determination
to recover a temporary advantage obtained
by the enemy, he rushed to tho front, like
a lion rendered desperate by the blood and
carnage surrounding, threw his slender
brigade against the foe, and fell, as his de
voted companions drove the yelling enemy
back. Thus, while “illustrating” his na
tive State, and while displaying the high
est and noblest attributes of the human
soul, he fell in the moment of victory.
Such a death, stanch a moment, is all that
a true soldier can desire.—Richmond Whig,

The Front at Richmond*
The Richmond Sentinel, oi the 6th, ttys we
have received, from one well qualified to judge,
a moat cheering account of the condition of
affaire at the Iront. Oiir army holds a beautiful
line, well covered. Grant haa made several in«
effectual attempts to break it, wiih a great lost
to himvolt, but with wonderfully small lost to
Everything promises delightfully.

Central Baahrod Johnson suad hta Ten-

served tribute to Gen: B. B. Johnson and his
gallant followers: #
Major. Gen. B R. Johnson’s division is
portion of ths foroes now confronting theene
my, about seven miles beyond Drowry’e Bluff.
This division is oompoted of Johnson’s old
brigade of Tennesseeans-Wise’s, Ransom’t
and Walker’s. This gellsnt officer, M«j Gen.
Johnson, made the famous dafonso of Peters
burg with bat a small force, occupying the
enemjr’o entire front with a skeleton line, and
rkirmlahing with suoh vigor as to premise tbe
“Beast” a grand reeeption whenever he made
his debut. Shortly after this the forces under
Gen. Beauregard arrived, and the victories
followed whioh bave already boon laid before
yonr readera. I subj oin an extract from Gen-
ral Orders No. 6, from Headquarters Depart
ment of North Carolina and Southern Vir
ginia, in which the eommanding General
thanks a portion of Johnson’s Qtmmand for
thoir gallant services in reptHsing the enemy'
gunboats at Port-Ctiflou.

General Order, No. 6 ]
n. Tbe commanding general takes pleas
ure in noticing the skill and gallantry dll
played by Capt. S. Taylor Martin, and the
heroio officers and .men of his battery, and
those of the 44th Tennessee regiment, nnder
hie command, in tbe engagement at Fort Clif
ton, on the 9lh instant, with (6) five of the
enemy’s gunboats, in whioh engagemont one
of tho gunboats was destroyed, and another
crippled, the rest retreating. 8aob conduct
reflects credit on the eervioe, and deserves
emulation. *•»***.
By command of Gen. Beauregard.
(Signed) Johx M. Onr, A. A. G.
This excellent officer (Capt. Martin) was re
ported wounded, but we are happy to find
that it was an error in the name. The gal
lant men who manned the guns at Fort Clif
ton, from the.44th Tennessee regiment, tnder
Lieut. P. M. Kelsoe, received a high encomi
um on tho spot for the gallant manner in
which the piooes were handled.
Never did mgn look death in the faoe with
a better resolution. Like Tennesseans, gal
lant and true, they knew too wall what would
be tho result should tbe enemy’s gunboats ai-
lenoe their gnna. The troops nnder the eom-
maud t f Major General Johnson deserve much
credit for the very handsome manner in whioh
they have met the enemy, dnr artillery prac
tise has been splendid, and has effroted a dis-
lodgment of tho enemy’a lines. Yesterday,
Thurtdiy. we drove the enemy’s skirmishers
back to their main works, which are very
heavy, rapturing about one hundred prison
ers, among them a surgeon, a major, three
captains and some lieatenants. Ths enemy
endeavored to retake their lost position at
nightfall, bnt were handsomely repulsed, with
out loss on our side, although they offered a
stubborn resistance. A very heavy flotilla of
transports bave reoentiy 1 -ft the James, laden
with troops for Grant. All Is-now qoi-t in
our front, and every confidence is felt. More
anon. ’ Gallop.
