tion of the circle of investment; and, daring
the previous afternoon, the Seventeenth Corps
♦ir 4118 A“ a “ Pushed its operations on the far
ther side of the Augusta Railroad, so as to
secure possession of a hill, known as Leggett’s
.1 j* .because Gen. Leggett's division had car
ried it by assault. Giles A. Smith’s division
was on Leggett’s left, deployed with a weak left
hank ‘in air,’ in military phraseology. It was
in carrying this hill that Gen. Gresham, a great
favorite, was badly wounded; and there also
Col. Tom Reynolds, now of Madison, Wis.,
was shot through the leg.”
“During the night, I had full reports from
P*rts of our line, most of which was par-
** all y intrenched as against a sally, and finding
that McPherson was stretching out too much on
his left flank, I wrote him a note early in the
morning not to extend so much by his left; for
we had not troops enough to completely invest
the place, and I intended to destroy utterly all
parts of the Augusta Railroad to the east of
Atlanta, then to withdraw from the left flank
“dadd to the right. In that letter I ordered
McPherson not to extend any further to the
left, but to employ Gen. Dodge’s corps (Six
teenth), then forced out of position, to destaoy
every rail and tie of the railroad, from Decatur
up to his skirmish line, and I wanted uim
(McPherson) to be ready, as soon as Gen. Gar
rard returned from Covington (whither I had
sent him), to move to the extreme right of
Thomas, so as to reach, if possible, the railroad
below Atlanta, viz: the Macon road.”
OPERATIONS OF JOLT TWENTY-SECOND.
“ In the morning we found the strong line of
parapet, ‘ Peach-Tree line,’ to the front of Scho
field and Thomas, abandoned, and our lines
were advanced rapidly close up to Atlanta. For
some moments I supposed the enemy intended
to evacuate, and in person was on horseback at
the head of Schofield's troops, who had ad
vanced in front of the Hurt House to some open
ground, from which we could plainly see the
whole rebel line of parapets, and I saw their
men dragging up from the intervening valley,
by the distillery, trees and saplings for abatits.
Our skirmishers found the enemy down in this
valley, and we could see the rebel main line
strongly manned, with guns in position at in
tervals. Schofield was dressing forward his
lines, and I could hear Thomas further to the
right engaged.”
It was at this moment that Gen. McPherson
rode up with his stuff to see Gen. Sherman
about the letter, sent him the night before.
The narrative continues: “We went back to the
Hurt House, a double frame-building with a
porch, and sat on the steps, discussing the
chances of battle, and of Hood’s general charac
ter. McPherson had also been of the same
class, at West Point, with Hood, ischofieid, and
Sheridan. We agreed we ought to be unusual
ly cautious and prepared at all times for sallies
and hard fighting, because Hood, though not
deemed much of a scholar, or of great mental ca
pacity, ’./as undoubtedly a brave, determined,
and rash man; and the change of commanders
at that particular crisis, argued the displeasure
of the Confederate Government with the cau
tious, but prudent conduct of Gen. Jos. E. John
ston.
“McPherson was in excellent spirits, well
pleased at the progress of events so far, and had
come over purposely to see me about the order
I had given him to use Dodge’s corps to break
up the railroad, saying that the night before he
had gained a position on Leggett's Hill, from
which he could look over the rebel parapets, and
see the high smoke-stack of a large foundry in
Atlanta; that before receiving my order, he had
diverted Dodge’s two divisions (then in motion)
from the main road, along a diagonal ope that
led to his extreme left Hank, then held by Giles
A. Smith's division (Seventeenth corps), for the
purpose of strengthening that flank; and that
he had sent some intrenching-tools there, to
erect some batteries, from which he intended
to knock down that foundry, and otherwise
to damage the buildings inside of Atlantia.
“He said he could put all his pioneers to
work, and do with them in the time indicated,
all I had proposed to do with Gen. Dodge’s two
divisions. Of course I assented at once, and
we walked down the road a short distance, sat
down at the foot of a tree where I had my map,
and on it pointed out to him Thomas’s position
and his own. I then explained, minutely, that,
after we had sufficiently broken up the Augus
ta road, I wanted to shift his whole army
around by the rear to Thomas’s extreme right,
and hoped thus to reach the other railroad at
East Point. While we sat there, we could hear
lively skirmishing going on near us (down about
the distillery), and occasionally round-shot
from twelve or twenty-four pound guns came
through the trees, in reply tojthose of Schofield,
and we could hear similar sounds ail along
down the lines of Thomas to our right, and his
own to the left; but presently the firing appear
ed a little more brisk (especially over about
Giles A. Smith’s division), and then we heard
an occasional gun back toward Decatur. I ask
ed what it meant. We took my pocket-com
pass (which L always carried), and by noting
the direction 6f the sound, we became satisfied
that the firing was too far to our left rear to be
explained by known facts, and be hastily call
ed for his horse, his staff, and his orderlies
• * * jumped on his horse, saying he would
hurry down his line and send me back word
what these sounds meant. ’
DEATH OF GEN. M’PHEBSON.
“Although the sound of musketry on eur left
grew in volume. 1 was not so much disturbed by
it as by the sound of artillery back toward De
catur. I ordered Schofield at once to send a bri
gade back to Decatur (some five miles) and was
walking up and down the porch of the Hurt
House, listening, when one of McPherson’s
staff, with his horse covered with sweat, dashed
op to the porch, and reported that Gen. Mc
Pherson was either 'killed or a prisoner.’ ” [The
particulars here given of the death of General
McPherson will be carried forward to a special
article next week.] “Meantime the sounds of
battle rose on our extreme lett more and more
furious, extending to the place where I stood, at
the Hurt House The reports that came from
all parts of the field revealed clearly what was
the game of my antagonist, and the ground
somewhat favored him. The railroad and wagon-
road from Decatur to Atlanta lie along the sum
mit, from which the waters flow, by short, steep
valleys, into the Peachtree and Chattahoochee,
to the west, and by other valleys of gentler de
clivity, toward the east (Ocmulgee). The ridges
and level ground were mostly cleared, and had
been cultivated as corn or cotton fields, but
where the valleys were broken they were left in
a state of nature—wooded, and full of under
growth. McPherson’s line of battle was across
this railroad, along a general ridge, with a gen
tle bat cleared valley to his front, between him
and the defenses of Atlanta; and another valley,
behind him, was clear of timber in part, bnt to
his left-rear the country was heavily wooded.
Hood, during the night of July 21st, had with
drawn from bis Peachtree line, had occupied
the fortified line of Atlanta, facing north and
east, with Stewart’s—formerly Polk’s—corps and
part of Hardee’s and with G. W. Smith’s divis
ion of militia. His own corps and part of Har
dee’s had marched out to the road leading from
McDonongh to Decatur, and had turned so as
to strike the left and rear of McPhersons line
‘in air.’ At the same time he had sent Wheel
er’s division of cavalry against the trains parked
in Decatur. Unluckily for us, I had sent away
the whole of Garrard’s division of cavalry dur
ing night of the 20th. with orders to proceed to
Covington, thirty-miles east, to burn two im
portant bridges across the Ulcofanhatchee and
Yellow rivers, to tear up the railroad, to dam
age it as much as possible from Stone Mountain
eastward, and to be gone four days; so that
McPherson had no cavalry in hand to guard
that flank.
“The enemy was, therefore, enabled, under
cover ot the forest, to approach qnite near be
fore he was discovered; indeed, his skirmish
line had worked through the timber, and got
into the field to the rear of Giles A. Smith’s
division of the Seventeenth Corps unseen, had
captured Murray’s battery of regular artillery,
moving through these woods entirely ungarded,
and had got possession of several of the hospit
al camps. The right of this rebel line struck
Dodge’s in motion ; but, fortunate.y, this corps
(Sixteenth) had only to halt, face to tl e left, and
was in line of battle; and this corjg not only
held in check the enemy, but. drove him back
through the woods. About the same time this
same force had struck Gen. Giles A. Smith’s left
flank, doubled it back, captured four guns in
position, and the party engaged in building the
very battery which was the special object of
McPherson’s visit to me, and almost entirely en
veloped the entire left flank. The men, howev
er, were skillful, and gradually fell back, com
pressing their own lines, and gaining strength
by making junction with Leggett’s division of
the Seventeenth Cor :s, well and strongly posted
on the hill. One or two brigades of the Fifteenth
Corps, ordered by McPherson, came rapidly
across the open field to the reer, from the direc
tion of the railroad, filled up the gar from
Blair’s now left to thehead of Dodge’s column—
now facing to the general left -thus for>»ing a
strong left flank—at right angles to the ’ iginal
line of battle. . The enemy attacked '«aly and
repeatedly, the whole of this flana, met an
equally fierce resistance; and on that ground a
bloody battle raged from little, after2noon till
into the night.
“A part of Hood’s plan of action was to sally
from Atlanta at the same moment; but this sally
was not, for some reason, simultaneous, for the
first attack on our extreme left flank had been
checked and repulsed before the sally came from
the direction of Atlanta. Meantime, Col. Sprague
in Decatur, had got his teams harnessed up, and
safely conducted his trains to the rear of Scho
field’s position, holding in check Wheeler’s cav
alry till he had got off all his trains, with the
exception of three or four wagons. I remained
near the Hurt House, receiving reports and send
ing orders, urging Gens. Thomas and Schofield
to take advantage of the absence from their front
of so considerable a body as was evidently en
gaged on our left, and, if possible, to make a
lodgement in Atlanta itself; but they reported i
that the lines to their front, at all accessible ,
points, were strong, by nature and by art, and
were fully manned.
“About 4 p. m. the expected sally came from' t
Atlanta, directed mainly against Ledgett’s Hill ;
and along the Decatur road. At Leggett’s Hill |
they were met and bloodily repulsed. Along !
the railroad they were more successful. Sweep- ,
iug over a small force with two guns, they j
reached our main line, broke through it, and 1
got possession of De Gress’s battery of twenty-
pound Parrotts, killing every horse and turning
the guns against us. Gen. Cbas. R. Wood's di
vision of the Fifteenth Corps was on the extreme
which places her in many things on a level with
men. She cannot be depended upon to get out
of bed at four o’clock of a winter morning to
make a fire and get breakfast, while her lord
and master takes a beauty nap, with anything
like the certainty that she once could. She
won’t eat up the chicken’s gizzard while there's
any breast left—no, nor afterwards either. She
objects to fill her husband's pipe and “start” it
with a few gentle puffs, as any professor’s spouse
ought to do. She opens her husband’s letters
on the same ground that,he opens hers. A man
has no right here to whip his wife, or to harness
her to a plow, as the Germen farmers do. In
fact,it’s getting so in our country that a wife has
almost as many rights as a husband, and the
conviction is slowly gaining ground that a mar
riage is a matter of mutual service and atten
tion. We owe Prof. Christlieb something for
bringing this to our notice. He may have stop
ped ns on the brink of a jirecipice, as it were.

guns, to a position to the left front of the Hurt
House, whence wd could overlook the field of
action, aud directed a heavy tire over the heads
ol Gen. Wood's men against the enemy; and we
saw Wood’s troops advance and encounter the
enemy, who had secured possession of the old
line of parapet which had ,been held by our men.
His right crossed this parapet, which he swept
back, taking it in Hank; aud, at the same time,
the division which had been driven back along
the railroad was rallied by Gen. Logan in per
son, and fought for thtir former ground. These
combined forces drove the enemy into Atlanta,
recovering the twenty-pound Parrott guns—but
one of them was found ‘bursted’ while in the
possession of the enemy. The two six-pounders
farther in advance were, however, lost, and had
been hauled back by the enemy into Atlanta.
Poor Captain De Gress came to me in tears, la
menting the loss of his favorite guns; when they
were regained he had only a few men left, and
not a single horse. He asked an order for a re
equipment, but I told him he must beg and bor
row of others until he could restore his batteries
now reduced to three guns.”
“The battle of July 22d is generally called
the Battie of Atlanta. It extended from the
Hurt House to General Giles A. Smith’s posi
tion, about a mile beyond the Augusta Railroad,
and then back toward Decatur, the whole extent
of ground being fully seven miles. In part the
ground was clear and in part densely wooded.
rode over the whole of it the next day, and it
bore the marks of a bloody conflict. The enemy
had retired during the night inside of Atlanta,
and we remained masters of the situation out
side. I purposely .allowed the Army of the Tenn
essee to fight the battle, almost unaided, save
by demonstrations on the part of Generals Scho
field and Thomas against fortified lines in their
immediate fronts, and by detaching, as describ
ed, one of Schofield’s brigades to Decatur,
because I knew that the attacking force could
only be a part of Hood’s army, and that, if any
assistance were rendered by either of the other
armies, the Army of the Tennessee would be
jealous. Nobly did they do their work that day,
and terrible was the slaughter done to our ene
my, though at sad cost to ourselves. ” The loss,
as set forth in Gen. Logan’s report of July 24th,
was Federals, 3,521, and Confederates, 3,220.
These figures, however, are not official.

How American Women Abuse Their
Husbands.
Dr. Theodore Christlieb, the German “evan
gelical” whose sweetness and light so took cap
tive the rest of the evangelicals at the alliance
meeting in New York some years ago, has found
a serious blot npon our civilization in the great
republic. As Colonel Higginson tells the story
in the Woman’s Journal, Prof. Christlieb con
fided to a recent American visitor that he had
great fears for the future of our nation because
the “spirit of Christ” was not here. Pressed to
explain his meaning, he did not cite any of
those financial or social scandals that make us
uneasy, “but precisely declared that on more
than one occasion he heard an American mar
ried woman say to her husband:
“Dear will you bring me my shawl?” and the
hnsband had brought it! and further, that he
has seen a man come home and find his wife sit
ting in the best chair in the parlor, and not on
ly did she not rise to get his dressing gown and
slippers, but Bhe did not rise at all, and let him
find his own chair as well as other comforts.
These were the things that the profound profes
sor, named after the “love of Christ," found to
evidence a dangerous lack of that article in the
United States. It is hard to overestimate the
value of this well-weighed criticism from so em
inent a source, based, as it is, on undeniable
facts. The female in this country has unques
tionably arrived at a degree of individualism

One of these a beautiful place known ls
E L TI N (4 0 W A N ,
is in Sumter county, Florida, two miles east of its county
site, Leesburg. It is situated on a kind of peninsula,
between Lakes Harris and Griffin, has luo acres of laud,
a modern cottage residence of live rooms, with hall and
handsome verandahs, fron-ting Lake Griffin, and com
manding a lovely view of the lake and ol several hundred
orange trees, many in full bearing, also magnolias aud
other forest trees. Iu the rear, in full view of the resi
dence, and situated on the regular public highway, is a
grove of about 2,ihhi orange and lemon trees, mostly eight
years old, many hanging full of rich fruit, and all soon to
be in bearing. They are choice seedlings, healthy and
luxuriant.
Near the house are also two hundred banana trees,
many bearing. No description can convey an idea of the
picturesque beauty of Ellangowan-its site, an elevated
plateau, overlooking that sheet of silver—lovely Lake
Griffin—with its islands and jutting headlands, and its
gleaming, changeful waters. Not aloue does this add
immeasurably to the beauty of the place, but this exten
sive bony of warm water tig miles in length! gives com
plete protection to the fruit groves, so much so that
during last winter—the coldest ever known here—there
was not the slightest damage done by the cold to any
tree or plant.
The price of this place is S15.000. Terms easy.
SECOND PLANTATION.
Hardly less desirable is a farm in the Ft. Dade Settle
ment, Hernando county, Florido, containing 210 acres of
finest hammock land, equally adapted for the culture of
cotton, corn, sugar-cane, or fruits, It has an excellent
plain country dwelling house of four rooms a store house
—a good stand for merchandizing—and all necessary out
buildings. It has fifty acres of cleared laud in high culti
vation, ‘25 orange trees bearing and nearly ready to bear,
aud six hundred seedling trees, 3 years old. Good many
oranges sold from the farm this year. This place is pecu
liarly adapted to the culture of oranges and the raising of
stock. It is surrounded by a number of small grassy
prairies that are the finest range for horses, cattle aud
hogs in Florida. Excellent society, two churches, and a
large Seminary (Ft. Dade) and stores, mills, etc. The
price of this place is $3,500.
SEASIDE HOME.
Beautifully and healthfully situated on St. Joseph’s Bay,
near the mouth of Anclote River, Hernando, Florida, is
the third farm, of 40 acres of pine land, 20 being cleared:
good, new three-roomed frame dwelling, kitchen and crib;
250 orange trees—fifteen of which are bearing, one him
dred nearly ready to bear: dates aud other tropical fruits
a good harbor with a number of vessels always to be seen
engaged in fishing, sponging, etc., to which surplus fruits
