DECATUR, ALA, July 10, 1864
Editors STATE Jolu7sal. Having been for some
time previous TO entering the service a con
slant reader of your paper, and knowing that
it has an extensive circulation throughout the
State, | take the liberty of sending YOU a few
items from this out Of-the-way place, hoping
that inasmuch as YOU have published compar-
atively few letters from this regiment, you
will give them place in your columns. It's
true ! cannot interest your readers with a
description of some great battle, a. many of
your correspondents can, out l can inform
them as to what the regiment has done aud
the changes that have recently taken place.
The brigade to which we belong arrived at
Decatur on the 9th Of last April and imme-
diateiv commenced work on the Notifications.
Heavy details were made each day, and the
work pushed on with the utmost yigor. Ere
quent attacks were made on our lines, but
they we're maintained with such obstinacy
that the rebels always fell back discour-
aged The regiment has made several raids
into the enemv's country, in each of which it
has been eminenuy successful, capturing
quite large number of prisoners and heavy
stores of forage No very serious fighting
has taken place a. vet, though the rebel For
rest may be around this way ere long, and by
Joining his force TO that OF Gen. Roddy, may
consider that he can perform his Fort Pillow
tragedy here. If he comes you will at least
never hear of our being taken prisoners.
Energetic efforts have been made To have
u relieved to 60 to the front, and once .Fe
started with orders TO that effect, but Gen.
Granger telegraphed shat he could not hold
the place without a., and after one day 5
march our orders were countermanded and
we returned.
The most notable changes that have taken
place are the designations of Col. Jas Ii. Howe,
1t Col a B Smedley, Adjt Beekwith and some
line officers, physical disability being the cause
in each instance, unless Col Howe, who was
absent from the regiment ii command Of the
Sd brigade, had some other reason. This
leaves 1t Col. II. De GrOat late Major, in
command, an arrangement, as far as my OBJ
servation extends, giving universal satisiac-
ton We expect he viii soon wear the eagles,

ton, Of Company d, has been commissioned

The health of the regiment IS very good,
though there have been quite a number of
deaths since ne came here. The boys are in
good spirits ard ready 80 do their whole duty.
Politically, they are almost unanimously in
favor of q Honest old Abe" and opposed to

THE BATTLE AT ATLANTA oN FRIDAY.-The

THE BATTLE AT ATLANTA OK FRIDAY.-The
Washington Republican extra says:
dispatches to the Government represent
that a great battle was fought in Atlanta on
FRIDAY, resulting in horrible slaughter, and a
complete repulse of the enemy at every point.
The rebels, holding the largest part of the
city, assaulted our works on that day with
great fury, evidently expecting to drive our
forces out of the city. The 18th Corps, COM
manded by Gen Frank Blair seemed % be
the special object Of rebel wrath, IS they
massed against it in overwhelming force
The 10Th received the shock calamity, and
held its own until Gen. Dodge, with the 10th
Corps, CAME up, when the rebels were hurled
back with great slaughter. Gen Logan, at
the head Of the nth Corps, went into battle
with the rallying cry Of Remember McPher-
SON This Corps, as well as Bair's, both
constituting the army under Maj. Gen. Nc
Pherson, fought desperately, the news of the
death of their brave commander having been
communicated to them just before going into
battle
Our troops buried 900 rebels, left on
the field within our lines, besides which the
rebels buried many of their own dead near
their works. II Is estimated that the rebel
killed and wounded on Friday will exceed
5000. Our loss viii reach about $500 in
killed and wounded The 18th Corps suffe--
ed severely.

The 500, 900 new geeruits Wanted.

In every point Of view it is important that
the 100000 men asked for by the President
should be promptly in the field. 1t is useless
to croak aud grumble about the past or TO
ind fault with the policy of the Administra-
ton, and rail at its mist4ies Much has been
done, and our armies are far advanced toward
final victory. but in order to secure 1t, they
need to be reinforced. No man so efficiently
serves his country as by encouraging enlist
ments either by going into the army himself
or if that is impossible, helping others to go.
The Chicago journal we'll sums up the rea-
sons for promptly responding this call. as
follows:
Ii We would have victory, let us have the
500, 900 new recruits. IF We would have
emancipation, let Us have the 800, 600 new
recruits. If we would have vigorous pros
ecutiOp Of the war, let Us have the 100000
new recruits. II we would have the public
debt diminished, let u have the 5000 new
recruits If we would have tie burthen Of
taxation lesseued, let Us have the 100000
new recruits If would have end of
the depredations of rebel pirates on the sea,
and Of rebel iayhawkers on the land, let
have The 100000 new recruits II we would
have end OF the war during the present
year, let have the 100000 new recruits
If We would have peace and content through
out the land again, soon, let Us have the 500
900 new recruits
