General Sherman movol from Chat
on the Cth of May, with the Armies of ti
CambeHand, Tennessee anil Ohio, command
ed, respectively, by Generals Thomas, McPher
son, and Seliofield, upon Johnson’s army! at
Dalton: but finding the enemy's position at
Bhzxard Roost, covering Dalton, too strong
tq lie assaulted. General McPherson was sent
through Snake Gap to turn it, while Generals
Thomas and Schofield threatened it ill front
and on the north. Tliis movement was suc
cessful Johnson finding his retreat likely to
be cut off fell back to his fortifications at
Uesaeca, where he was attacked on the after
noon ol' May 15th, A heavy battle ensued.
During the night the enemy retreated south.
Irate on the l fth his rear guard was overtaken
near Adairsville, and heavy skirmishing fol
lowed. Next morning, however, he had. again
disappeared. He was vigorously pursued and
overtaken at Cassville, on the 10th but during
the ensuing night retreated across the
Etowah. . ■
While these operations were going on, Gen.
Jefferson C. Davis, and a divission of Thom as’
army, was sent to Rome, capturing it, with
its forts and artilery, and its trainable mills | over it, as it appeared to
and iottndries. . I my. YMrUMlIMM $_

Till In
The enemy, on coming up. met our forces
commanded by General Scltofield. at Frank
lin. On the 30th, lie assaulted our works re
peatedly during the afternoon and until late
at night, but was in every instance repulsed.
His loss in this battle was 1.730 killed, ami
702 prisoners, and 8,800 wounded. Among
hU losses were six General ollicers killed, six
wounded, and one captured. Our entire loss
was 2,300. This was the first serious oppo
sition the enemy had met with, and I am sat
isfied wa* a fatal Wow to all his expectations.
During the* night. General Schofield fell back
toward Nashville. This left the field to the
cnci$r, not lost by battle, but voluntarily
abandoned so that Gen. Thornes' whole force
might l»c brought together. The enemy fob
lowed, and commenced the establishment of
his line in front of Nashville on December ‘2d.
As soon as it was ascertained that Hood
was crossing the Tennessee river, and that to the approval of tl
Price was going out of Missouri General Roa- mat was di&appro

i rpHESE SAFES AND LOCKS have been thor-
j X on-hly tested and their reputation is such
tion on the 2&1 for Dallas, with a view of
turning the tlifficnlt pass at Altoona. On the
morning of the 23th, tlia advanco under Gen.
Hooker, had a severe battle witli the enemy,
driving him back to New Hope Church, near
Dallas. Several sharp encounters occurred at
this point. The most important was on the
28th, when tlie enemy assaulted General Mc
Pherson at Dallas, but received a tcrribloand
biopsy repulse.. ' V
■ V T" KKNNKSAW.
On tlie 4th of .Tune, Johnston abandoned
his entrenched position at New Hope Church,
and retreated to the position of Kcnncsaw,
Pine and Lost Mountains. He was forced to
yield the two last, named places aud concen
trate his forces on Kcnncsaw. where, on the
!9tli, Gens. Thomas mid McPherson made a
determined but unsuccessful essault.
On the night of the 2d of July, Sherman
commenced moving his army by the right
flank, and on the morning of the 3d found
that the enemy, in consequence of this move
ment, had abandoned Kejmcsaw, and retired
across tlie CUattahoochie. ■ General Sherman
remained on the Chattahoocliic, to give his
men rest and get up stores, until the 17th of
July, when he resumed his operations, cross
ed tlie Clmttahoochie, destroyed a large por
tion of the railroad leading to Augufta, and
drove the enemy back to Atlanta,
22d op jclt.
At this place General Hood succeeded
Gcueral Johnston in command of the Confed
erate army, and assumed the oflensive-defen-
sive policy, made several severe attacks upon
Sherman in the vicinity of Atlanta, the most
desperate mid determined of which was on
the 22d of July. About t P. M. of tliis day
the brave, accomplished and noble-hearted
McPherson was killed—General Logan suc
ceeding him in command of the army of
Tennessee, through tliis desperate battle, and
until lie was superceded' by Major General
Howard, on tlie 2Gth, with the same success
and ability that bad characterized him in
command of n corps or division. In all these
attacks the enemy was repulsed with great
ss.
CAPTUBE OP ATLANTA.
Finding it impossible to entirely invest the
place, Gen. Sherman, after securing his line
of communication across the Chattahoochee,
moved his main-force round by the enemy’s
left flank, upon the Montgomery and M.-ieon
roads, to draw the enemy front his fortifica
tions. Ill this he was successful, and, after
defeating tlie enemy near Rough mid Heady,
Jonesboro and Lovejov’s, forcing "him to .re
treat to the south, on tile 2d of September
occupied Atlanta, the objective point of his
campaign.
Gen. Sherman’s movement from Chatta
nooga to Atlanta was prompt and brillant.
Tlie history of lii.< flank movement's and
battles during that memorable campaign will
ever bc’read with an interest unsurpassed by
anything in history. He was dependent for
the supply of his armies upon u rough track
of railroad from Nashville to the point where
he was operating. This passed the entire
distance through a hostile country, and every
foot of it had to Unprotected by troops.
* * * *.' * * *
SHERMAN’S MARCH TO SAVANNAH.
General Sherman,. immediately after the
foil of Atlanta, put his army in camp, in nnd
about tlie place and made all preparations
for refitting and supplying them for future
service. The great length of the road from
Atlanta to Cumberland river, however, which
had to be guarded, allowed the troops but
little rest. During tliis time Jeff. Davismade
a speech in Macon, Georgia, ^which was repor
ted in the papers of the 4th, and soon be
came known to the whole country disclosing
the plan of the enemy, and thus enabling
General Sherman to fully meet them. He ex
plained the weakness of supposing that an
army that had been boaten and decimated
in a vain attempt at the defensive, could suc
cessfully undertake the offensive against an
army that had so often defeated it. In tlie
execution of this plan, Hood with his army,
was soon reported at the South, west of
Atlanta, moving forward to Sherman's right.
He succeeded in reaching the railroad about
Big Shanty, and moved north on iL
General Sherman, leaving u force to hold
Atlanta, with tlie remainder of his army fell
upon him, and drove him to Gadsden, Ala
bama. ajtr ’ I- -I,; ■ i -.;
*•*-.« *.* * • * *
IT WAS THE ORIGINAL DESIGN
To hold Atlanta, and by getting through to
the coast, with a garrison left on the Southern
railroads leading east and west through Geor
gia, to effectually sever the East from the
West. In othcr.’words, a cut would be made,
severing the Confederacy in two again, as it
bad been cut once by our gaining possession
of the Mississippi river. General Sherman’s
plan virtually effected this object. General
Sherman commenced nt once his
PREPARATIONS
For liia proposed movement, keeping his ar
my in a position, in the meantime, to match
Hood. Becoming satisfied tiiat Hood had
moved westward from Gadsden, across Sand
Mountain, Gen. Sherman sent tlie 4th corps.
Major Gen. Schofield commanding, back to
Chattanooga, to report to Mnj. Gen. Tliomas,
at Nashville, whom he had placed in com
mand of all the troops of his military divis
ion, save four army corps and a cavalry divis
ion, he designed to move with through Geor
gia. With the troops thus left at his disposal,
there was little doubt but that Gen. Thomas
could hold the line of the Tennessee, or in the
event that Hood should force it, would Ire
able to concentrate and beat him in battle. I
therefore, readily consented that Gen. Sher
man should start for the sea-coast. Ilavfog p ear nV er.
concentrated his troops at Atlanta by the 24th j march on Golds])^. lie met a force of th

lie best to do.
A few days after this I received a commu
nication from Gen. Sherman, dated the lClli
of December, acknowledging the receipt of
my order of the Cth, arid informing me of his
proposition to carry it into effect as soon a<
he could get transportation. Also, that he
had expected, upon reducing Savannah, in
stantly to march to Columbia, South Caroli
na, thence to Raleigh, and thenra to report
to me. But this would consume nbriut six'
months’time after the fall ef Savannah, wlicrs-
as, by sea, he could probably reach me by the
middle of January. The confidence lie man
ifested in this letter of being able to march up
and join me, pleased me, and instead of wait
ing for a reply to my letter of the 18th, I di
rected him on tlie 28t!i of December to make
preparations to start as be proposed, without
delay, to break up the railroads in North and
South Carolina, and join the armies ojierating
against Richmond as soon as he could. On
the 21st of January I informed General Sher
man that I had ordered the 23d corps, Major
General Schofield commanding, east; that it
numbered about 21,000 men; that wc had at
Fort Fisher about 8,000. men; at Ncwbcm
about 4,000; that if Wilmington was captur
ed, Gen. Schofield would go there; if not, he
would be sent to Ncwbcm; that in either
event, all the surplus force would move to tlie j
interior, towards Goldsboro’, in co-opcration P lwl Jt,®- Murri
with this movement; that from either point Tb‘-Mri;.-d su
railroad communication could be run out, and I ‘ uLoL-t 011
that all those troops would be subject to his price 72 to i»r*q
orders as ho came into communication. | t Lm-1 r Wv ’
In obedience to his instructions General P r i <r . M P'S
Schofield proceeded to reduce Wilmington, j
North Carolina, in co-operation with tlie navy | oeei
under Admiral Porter, moving his forces uf> i
both sides of Capo Fear river. Fort Ander- *
son, tlie enemy’s main delance on the west!
bank of tlie river, was occupied on tlie morn- j .
Ing of the lflth, the enemy having evacuated tiUOIll
it after our appearance before it. After fight
ing on the 20th and 21st, our troops entered
Wilmington on the morning of tlie 22d, the
enemy having retreated towards GoM.boro
during tho night. Preparation were at once ’
made for n movement on GoIrLlraro in two
columns, one front Wilmington and the other 1
from Ncwbcm, and to repair tlie railroad 1
leading there from each place, as well as Ini
supply General Sherman by Cape Fear rix

By the first of February Gen. bherman’s wliole I
army was in motion from Savannah. He]
captureil Columbia, South Carolina, on the
