BURKs CEARGE FROM HIS DYING BED.-In 1877
wher the ia nbins of France were prosecuting TIE
war with England, which terminated eighteen years
after on the bloody field of Waterloo, Edmund
Buke, the most eminent statesman of that age, was
on his dying bed. in his last hours be gave
charge to England which, with the change of two
or three words, is equally appropriate to the Con
federate States:
Never, said the dying statesman, necer sue
comb. 1t is a struggle for your existence as ma
ton. l. you must die, die with the sword in your
hard. But have no fears for the result. There
is salient living principle in the public mind o
england (of this Confectionery which only requires
proper direction to enable it to withstand this OIL
any other ferocious foe. PerseYere, therefore, til
this tyranny be overpast"

WASHINGTON, July ia despatch from
an official source confirms the statement i'm
this mornings papers, of Gen. Sherman's
force or part of them having crossed the
Chattahoochee. Only small cavalry force
of the enemy was encountered. Sherman
subsequently occupied his troops in tearing
up the railroad of most use to the rebels.
The distance his forces are from Atlanta is
not mentioned.
WASHINGTON, July 2O.-The latest official
information from Sherman is, that his army
crossed the Chattahoochee at several places,
taking the enemy by surprise, who there
fore offered but little resistance. Our cav
airy was at once sent to operate on the rail-
road east of Decatur, to cut off communica-
tion between Atlanta and Augusta, thus
preventing the removal Of stores to the lat
ter place, and the reinforcement of john
ston. Our main army was within ten or
twelve miles of Atlanta. All operations
progressing favorably.
