Most of our readers in this vicinity will re-
member Holden Putnam, formerly Of this town,
and more lately OF Freeport Illinois, and will
mourn with US that such a gallant and noble
man has fallen, another victim Of this terrible
rebellion Colonel Putnam left aourshing
business at Freeport, where he had by his energy
and success made for himself an enViable repn
tation, to take command of the nnety-third
Illinois regiment, and to devote his strength, and
lie was with Grant in his campaign against
Ycks5urg, and in the battles in the rear OF that
city his regiment bore distinguished part, and
suffered severely. No one who knew Colonel
Putnam would expect to find him or his com
mand anywhere but in the front Of the battle,
where his enthusiastic courage and daring bra
very, rendered him always conspicuous. After
gong through many battles unframed, he at
last fell on tie steep .lopesof Lookout Mountain,
in the last great victory Of Gen, Grant. The Bur
ington Times justly says of this heroic man I
ale raised himself from humble circumstances to
an honorable and useful position in society, and

took deep interest in the affairs Of the nation
and felt that no sacrifice was too great TO sus-
tain the government IN its present struggle, and

MORE EXCITING Work. - The lull
which succeeded the great victories of Ju-
ly seems at an end. In addition to the
operations before Charleston, which alone
have broken the calm in our army opera
tions for few weeks, Rosecrans has com
menced work at Chattanooga, and it is
stated that Banks is about to command q
movement against Mobile.
Gen. Rosecranz attacked Chattanooga
on the list inst, and made marked i'm
preston on the place with his effective
batteries. The town is well fortified. and
our progress may be slow, but its eventual
downfall is believed to be certain. Bv
the burning of bridge over the Tenpes-
see river Gen Wilder has severed the
communication between the two wings of
the rebel army. 1t is reported that Joe
Johnston had arrived at Chattanooga and
assumed command of the forces there.
Bragg retiring to Atlanta, Ga. The
downfall OF Chattanooga must soon ensue.
and its vast Importance is fully appreciate
ed by Gen Rosecrans, who will then have
tho key to the rebel position in the South
west.
