came to town few days since, to market
a couple of tubs of butter, bringing his

Instructed the knight of the razor to
take off his beard. The barber was

The customer sat down. He was
duly shaved. His face was wiped,
and lie arose, donned his coat and his

"Fiteen cents, boss
"Nhy, / thought YOU shaved for

Dat ar's de average, sah, - was the
reply. "Ten cents is de price of a

NASHVILLE, July 29.-General Sherman is
again in motion in front OF Atlanta. The army
began moving yesterday upon the last line OF
communication with the rest of the Oon fedora.
cy left to Hood. An early engagement Is an.
ticipated, as the armies are so near each other
that the slightest mo vement may stir up fight.
A letter from an officer at the front describes
the battle Of the 22d as the seyerest fighting he
has ever known, and he says we have buried
2,2G0 rebels, with 800 more to bury.
Bragg brought orders from Richmond to hold
Atlanta at all hazards, and in council Of war,
SO stated. johnson preferred resigning to fight
ing, and retired. Hardee then declined to ac-
cept the position, when it was given up to
Hood on the express condition that he was to
stay and fight. This arrangement was entire.
ly satisfactory to all parties on our side in.
terested in the matter. Hood has probably
already stayed too long.
NASHVILLE, July 30.-In the battle Of the
2Sth our loss was less than six hundred. The
rebel loss ls estimated by General Howard at
Eve thousand. We buried six hundred and
forty three dead rebels, and more were left
unburied. Our forces in this engagement were
covered, while those of the enemy were ex.
posed. Rebel Generals Stewart Long and s.
u. Lee were severely wounded. Authentic
official information places the rebel loss, since
the in vestment of Atlanta, considerably above
twenty thousand. Everything is progressing
favorably. The army is in good condition and
spirits. 'I.|
