PANORAMA OF THE WAR.--It is very
kind Of artists TO bring us war-not real
bloodshed and death-but war portrayed
faithfully on canvas-true copies Of the
field Of saDguinsry strife. tits very kind Of
them thus to think of Us rho stay At home.
Il must be admitted that very many would
ike TO see a raging conflict, il they could
only be at q safe distance. and this is just
what We are talking about.
The Panorama Of the War, which has
been exhibited In Chicago and other wes-
tern cities with SO much success, opens
tonight 1t the Atheneum. This monster
sheet of canvas takes up the thread of
war where the FIRST gun was fred and fol-
lows it down to the latest scene of con-
fict. 1t is said that this panorama is a
well executed affair and in any way worthy
OF patronags. OF its reliability and gen.
sral merits, the people can very easily de-
termine upon visiting it. In connection
with the panorama. Mr.. ], H. Hoyt, the
celebrated Prestigiator and Ventriloquist,
will appear.
Tomorrow afternoon IN exhibition viii
be given for the accommodstion Of fami-

sherman Occupies Jackson Coll
IEateh's gallant Fight.

CAIRO July IL,
Col. 4. Hatch, who did such excellent seq
vice heretofore in pushing the rebels in north
ern Mississippi, started from Lagrange last
Sunday morning to look after the Confeder-
ates then in Jackson, Tenn, with force mum
bering about /, 800 men, and on reaching Jack
son about noon on Monday, found Col. Jesse
Forrest in possession Of the town with about
1000 to $500 men. He Immediately gave
battle, and most desperate battle occurred,
lasting for about three hours. Finally Col.
Hatch led desperate charge with sabre and
pistols, driving the rebels in and through
town, and capturing two entire companies.
Col Hatch's loss was from forty to fifty in
killed and wounded That of the enemy is
estimated at three times that number. At
last accounts Col. Hatch had left the garrison
in Jackson, and was in full pursuit Of Forrest
and his retreating force.
Pemberton with his paroled garrison had
crossed Big black river going into parole
camp.
Sherman had driven johnson from jackson
and occupied the place. There had been a
slight skirnish between Shernan's and john
sons armies, in the neighborhood Of Bolton,
which is the first railroad station on the way
from jackson to Vicksburg, but no general
engagement had taken place. Johnston is
supposed to be retreating in the direction OF
Columbus, Mississippi, with force of about
10000 men.
All is still quiet at Helena, no fighting hay
ing occurred since the "a. Price with about
TO- 900 men, is reported lowering near that
place, but as yet has made no further often
siVe demonstrations.

MEssRs. EDIToRs.-Pernit me to state the
manner and circumstances of the fight in
which this young man fell On the night Of
the 21st of June Cos. B, E, and H, were or
dered to dig rifle pits within about fifty yards
of the enemies Fort. The rifle pits were dug
and the following night, were occupied by
the 14th ILL.,, which were driven from them
by the enemy, who charged on them from
the Fort.
On the night of the oath Of june Cos. G.,
and II, of the 33d Wis. were ordered to
charge on the enemy in the rifle pits, and
drive them out. The charge was made
about half-past nine o'clock, and proved sue
cessful. They took back the pits, and poor
Fred fell, mortally wounded, just as we
gained them. He was the first to fall in bat
tie, of the enlisted men of Co. H, from Keno
sha County.
He was faithful soldier, and brave as he
was faithful; ever vigilant and watchtul ;
untiring in his efforts to do his whole duty.
Never falling, he was model for all to en-
ulate and admire, as a soldier and man
Not only favorite in his company, but with
all who knew him. he was ever cheerful and
had cheering word for companion, nsver
giving a harsh word though one had been re,
ceived. He was known, to be respected and
loved, for his many acts and words OF kind
ness, and his loss is deeply felt by the com
pany, as companion and soldier. In him
the country has lost one Of its truest soldiers
and defenders of Right, Truth and Liberty;
Society one of its purest, noblest and most
honored Young Men. We deeply feel the loss
and regret the fall of one so brave and true.
