eeks. When the Federal army retired from the front of Lovejoy's Station, General Hood's conception of the campaign was embodied in a dispatch to the secretary of war, dated September 6, 1864, Sherman continues his retreat beyond Jonesboro; but in fact, after Hood moved across the Chattahoochee, Sherman pursued him to Gaylesville, Ala., then returned to Atlanta, and on the 15th of November began his march through Georgia to the sea. Stewart's corps captured the garrisons at Big Shanty and Acworth, and General French attacked Allatoona, but when success was near at hand the appearance of heavy reinforcements caused him to withdraw. Cheatham made a demonstration on Dalton with Strahl's brigade, and the garrison, 1,200 strong, surrendered unconditionally; and at the same time General Bate, under orders of Cheatham, demanded the surrender of a formidable blockhouse a few miles distant. The bearer of the flag, the gallant Capt. H. J. Cheney, had his horse killed under him. The flag wa

But the position could not have been held had not the right flank been secured, and I am quite sure this could not have been done if I had waited to put my whole brigade in position, and move them all up at once. Indeed it was one of those times in which the victory trembled in the scale, and the lives of many men, and probably the destiny of an army, hung upon a moment of time. This engagement was on Pumpkinvine creek, just above Pickett's mill, and a little north of a road known as the Acworth road. I continued with the army, and participated in all the fighting of all that arduous and bloody campaign, commanding my own brigade in all the battles except Jonesboro, in which I commanded the division. You remember the engagement of the 22d of July, near Cobb's mill. In that engagement, after my own brigade had been cut to pieces, having lost half its number, I discovered an opportunity to make an assault on the enemy's flank, and got permission to make the attack with Mercer's

ers at sunrise yesterday, says that the affair of Wednesday afternoon was handsome. We are having a renewal this morning. During the day firing continued, but was evidently receding from us, and a few guns have been heard this morning apparently at a still greater distance. General Cummings is severely wounded in the breast and arm. General Reynolds wounded slightly. The army was moving up to the field yesterday morning in fine condition. [Second Dispatch.] Atlanta, May 27. --Letters from the press reporter on the field say that the operations of yesterday were confined to skirmishing and the enemy feeling for our positions.--Our right rests on the road from Acworth to Dallas, about three miles northeast from New Hope Church, and extends from the latter point nearly west. The movements of the enemy continue to extend towards our right, indicating a disposition to get near Etowah river and bridge. Firing was heard early this morning, but died away soon.

From North Georgia. Battle Field, 8 Miles West of Marietta, June 6. --The enemy are still moving towards Altoona. Hooker's corps are fortifying the hills between Acworth and Atlanta. Heavy rains for the past two days here have made the roads almost impassable for artillery, and retarded movements considerably. Some slight skirmishing occurred near Lost Mountain yesterday. All quiet this morning. [Second Dispatch.] Atlanta, June 6. --Press reporters who left the front at noon report that our army is still moving towards the railroad, the right of the enemy having already crossed near Ackworth, and Hooker's corps is reported 5 miles east of it on the Altoona road. Gen. Johnston's headquarters are west of Marietta, with our left resting at Lost Mountain. Hardee is commanding the right, with Polk the left, and Hood the centre. The Yankee cavalry dashed into Big Shanty at 10 o'clock this morning, and were met by Williams's brigade who were figh

hey report only certain changes in the positions of corps and contemplated operations. They state that "everything is going on well." The Chief Quartermaster of the army reports a personal inspection of the depot at White House, and that it is in a most officiant state, all needful supplies on hand and wagons to transport them easily to the army. The wounded are being brought in and transports are not delayed moment. A dispatch from Gen. Sherman, dated at 12 noon, to day, at Ackworth, Ga., says: "I am now on the railroad at Ackworth Station, and have full possession forward to within one mile of Marietta.--All well. No other military intelligence to-day. Edwin M. Staton, Secretary of War. A correspondent of the Inquirer, writing from near Cold Harbor, June 3d, P. M., says that "four thousand men will not cover the casualties of that day's fighting. An average advance of our lines somewhat less than half mile, and the capture of about four hundred priso

or several hours. It is stated that the enemy made a pretty general assault upon our advanced lines, but was successfully resisted in all his efforts. Rumors from Sherman's rear are to the effect that our cavalry, had destroyed the railroad at Acworth, burn the bridge at Etowah, and badly damaged the track from that place to Adairsville. These points are on the Western and Atlantic railroad. Acworth is thirty-five miles from Atlanta, Etowak forty-six and Adairsville sixty-nine miles. Rumor Acworth is thirty-five miles from Atlanta, Etowak forty-six and Adairsville sixty-nine miles. Rumor adds that one thousand prisoners and six thousand head of beef cattle were captured — which is, doubtless, an exaggeration. The sale of all intoxicating liquors within the limits of Atlanta, except upon an order from headquarters, has been prohibited. The Appeal, upon information derived from an engineer, scouts the idea that Sherman is endeavoring to mine one of the prominent works of defence at the outer end of Marietta street. The distance between the lines is eight hundred yards,

nty, twenty-five miles northwest of Atlanta, and had destroyed the railroad from Big Shanty to Acworth, a point ten miles further north. In this position he was directly in Sherman's rear, the latts communications with Chattanooga. But it seems Hood did not maintain this position. From Acworth he sent French against Altoona, Sherman's principal depot of supplies, which is only five miles north of Acworth, and is, in point of strength, quite a fortress. French failed to take Altoona. He is said to have stormed the outer works without difficulty, but drew off his forces without attnown to us, Hood, after this failure to take Altoona, left the Western and Atlantic railroad at Acworth to strike it again, according to the above mentioned dispatch, at Resaca, which is fifty miles north of Acworth and eighty-four miles north by west of Atlanta. The dispatch tells us his "forces have destroyed the Western and Atlantic railroad from near Resaca to within a short distance o
