Con. sherman's Movemeut 20 the
ChattahOOelste. ss-sstssa


The Nashville correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune sends a few particulars
of Gen. sherman's advance TO the Chat
tahoochie river. The letter confirms the
report OF the capture of two thousand
prisoners
NASHVILLE, July T. 1864
A movement was commenced several
days since by Gen. Sherman which ended
In the occupation of Marietta ON the
3D.. Our forces Were Immediately push
ed onward In pursuit OF the ~ebels, \, no
were endeavoring to cross the Chatta-
hoochie, with view doubtless OF secur-
ing position on the south bank TO dis.
pute our passage, and on the 4th they
were overtak n. They, however, were
not disposed TO show much fight, and
no battle OF consequence ensued but
our forces captured at least two thous.
and prisones, and on the 9TH occupied
the north bank of the river both abov,
and below the road and railroad bridges,
which are near together.
All the rebels reached the south side
In safety, except Hardees corps, which
was yet north of the river at latest &C
counts, as precaution to trains, guns,
as Gen. Sherman is pushing things to
the wall' with vim.
| have received few particulars of
the situation other than what has al
ready been telegraphed to the north
but am able to throw some light on
the situation, through a knowledge of
the topography Of the country, which
will be Of use in future.
When the present commander took
command a change was made i'm their
lines. Hooker and Schofeld lay to the
left, while Mcpherson was sent to the
right. Thomas, who was in command
of the centre, proceeded down parallel
with the railroad, and completely cover
ing it while Hooker struck the Chat
tahoochie at Vines station, a few miles
above, and Mcpherson at Nickajack
Greek, about as few below, and this
formed a semi-circle, surrounding the
rebel army, which was busily engaged
in crossing the river for safety.
Whether our force will be abe to at
tack Hardee before he crosses or not, /
am unable to state but | believe the
rebel general will be kept busy and l
have no doubt but ere this, our army is
posted from right to left, upon the
shores cf the Chattahoochie perhaps
even part Of it may be across.
The railroad bridge is but six miles
from Atlanta, in a direction nearly
northwest and the stream once crossed,
no further difficulty will be experienced
in reaching the objective point of the
campaign. L shall expect to hear Of ac-
tive work soon.
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1864-07-21


A REBEL SuRRENDER-Justa after the
shelling came rebel charge on our
flank-the most ridiculous affair | ever
saw. On came three lines of battle,
with heavy line OF skirmishers in
front. Our pickets left their line of ri
fie pits, and calmly came into the first
line of earthworks, and there awaited
the charge They let the enemy get
away up into our rife pits before firing.
They then let in volley, and back
rolled the chvalry, all except the Skin
miSh line, which was too near to escape;
they fell PROSTATE on the ground, and
just lifted up one hand to wave rag of
some kind in token of surrender. Then
our men ceased firing, and in came 200
or 800 of the gray and whites-all of
the Twenty something South Carolina
1t was very funny to see their good feel
ing, and evident delight at being taken
or to be safe. The Fortieth Massachu-
sets received them. 1t was hard
enough to believe the newspaper stories
of their undying hatred for the Yankees,
to look over our parapet at the cordial
greeting. They each came up with an
uproarious Glow are you" Selling their
captors by both hands, and shaking
with the heartiuess of the Oldest and
frmest friends. Each rebel offered both
hands, and wanted to shake hands with
the whole line. They even came by our
darkies with a chow are you, boys"
and they fairly shouted with pleasure
when they got back to the rear, and in
dulged in some wholesome damning of
the Confederacy that must have been
pent up for a long time. They were all
from Charleston, and their regiment was
nearly every man captured or killed, the
captain commanding and all. They
were rather a poor looking set, any way,
and mighty dirty, Goodby to the "City
Battalion" of Charleston; it is gone
up" -Peters5a,y army letter.

one pretends to support Lincoln. OF the
last named class of journals one, The
Lexington Union, has been flying Gen.
Blair's name for Governor for a long
time, but the other day its editor APP
peared as delegate in the Democratic
State Convention in this city, since
witch time The Union has taken down

not see the necessity of its lowering the
name of Blair, however, to take the lat.

TUR CApTuRE AND ESCAPE OF GEN. TY

THE CAPTURE AND ESCAPE OF GEN. TY-
LBR AND STAFF.--On Saturday after our
troops had retired from the Monocacy
bridge, Gen. Tyler and his staff made a
stand on the hill on the east side of the
bridge but were not there long before
they discovered themselves to be sur
round d by the rebels.
The General and his party succeeded
In making their escape to the north side,
closely pursued by the enemy, who fired
upon them repeatedly, killing one of the
Generals orderlies, German, whose
name we could not ascertain.
To this fact the General attributes his
escape, as, when the soldier fell from his
saddle in the road, the pursuers stopped
to see who 1t was, and to inquire if Gen.
Tyler was not of the party, &c During
this time the General reached clump of
woods and the three officers secreted
themselves from their pursuers.
A negro who was endeavoring to make
his escape from the rebel lines pointed
out the way to the house of we'll
known and patriotic citizen of Frederick
county, whose family were unremitting
in their attentions to the fugitiyes, con-
cealing them until Tuesday, when they
took their departure for Frederick.
