JoHNs0N's ISLAND, July go.

JoHNsON's ISLAND, July 81.
DEAR Consolidating unusual has
transpired to disturb the routine of camp
life, since the order for the regiment to
return 10 duty. our parole having been
declared void.
Our sick list, since our return to the
Island, has been large, and during the
excessive hot weather of the past few
days, has increased. Still, the cases are
not generally severe, and none, to my
knowledge, dangerous, our Surgeon,
DR.. Apologize, now being among the
worst. l am sorry to say that for some
cause, the facilities for the proper care of
the sick, are not as good as might be ex-
pected at a permanent post.
Yesterday the 12Sth attended the funer-
al of Gen. Mcpherson, leaving Col. Asper
in command, and the Hist with all the
duty to do. Some indications of insubor-
dination among the prisoners, were no.
ticed, there being now confined here sew
eral of Morgan's officers with whom the
Hist were engaged, and who were taken
by Burbridge. They didn't like the idea
of being guarded by men, whom they
had paroled. The consciences ofour boys
have been quieted on that score, howev-
er, by the order from proper Authority,
and they not only felt perfectly compe-
tent, but very willing to take care of the
Bull pen," in any emergency, even in
the absence of the 12Sth. The day pass
ed quietly, however, and no occasion was
afforded to test the capacity of our new
Enfeld's.
The expiration of our 100 days draws
near, and I presume none will feel sorry
for the opportunity to visit their homes,
albeit it is highly probable that after a
short visit, many will again take the
field, either from choice, or from a pres
sing invitation from Father Abraham"

and the officials divided the yarn and
cloth among the operatives of the mill,
and then applied the torch. The ruined
walls and broken machinery are all that
remains of them.
Last nighta very severe thunder storm
passed oveI this vicinity. during which a
number of soldiers were killed and
wounded. One battery in our Division,
had three killed instantly, while hear
that the 18th No. regiment lost some 25
in all. from the effect of the lightning.
| hear of an instance where a stack of
arms were discharged by the light
ming. 1t is sad indeed, to see our fellow
soldiers stricken down under such circum-
stances, after escaping the long %continu-
ed dangers of the campaign.
The health of the battery is very good
considering the fatigue and exposures to
which we have been subjected since last
May. While before Kenesaw, Capt. Bur
rows health failed him and he has been
compelled to go North. His term of ser
vice expires September 10th, when 1 hear
he intends leaving the army. Lieut..
Laird is in command, and affairs move
along good naturally. But I must not
weary the patience of both reaoer and
Editor. Both must pardon all defcien-
cies, as it is too warm for any thing.

The situation at Atlanta.

We have details of events up to Thurs
day afternoon last. Sherman was, at the
time of the rebel attack, on Wednesday
ON the east and south of Atlanta. The reb-
els came out and made a desperate rush
with their whole force against about one
third of our army, and were handsomely
repulsed and fell back into their works,
losing about 5000 men. Our loss was
1913. 1t is not true that our men fought
behind works. The fight was a fair one
in the field.
We had not at latest definite accounts
taken the city Of Atlanta, but were in fam
way for doing so. The railroad between
Atlanta and Augusta is destroyed for six
miles, cutting the direct line of commu-
nication between Atlanta and Richmond

DATED q MILES 5. Z. OF ATLANTA GA.
July q, 1864
We have been fighting now for three
days. Yesterday we had a terrible bat
tie, commencing at II, A. NJ, and last
ing all day. Day before yesterday we
drove the enemy about three miles, pun
ishing him severely, though we suffered
severely in the wounding of n General
(Gresham,) he had his leg badly shattered
and will probably have to suffer smputa-
ton; but our greatest calamity occurred
Yesterday. Our much beloved command
er, Mcpherson, was killed in the battle
of yesterday. The enemy supposing our
flank to be very weak, threw their i'm
mense columds against u left and par
italy in our rear, but they ran against
the 10th Corps, which at that time was
passing our rear to take position on our
left; this was as much of q surprise to
them as their attack was to as. We
had not five minutes notice, and though
it was unexpected VS. were nearly ready
for them and gave them such a recep-
ton as l think they never before receiv.
ed. They cannot have lost less than g.
900 in killed and wounded, besides we
have over 5000 prisoners. Our loss I q n
not nov state accurately, but it viii be
less than 5000 killed, wounded and
missing, Of which we think over half are
prisoners. One reg't hat we know of
10th Iowa. got separated and were COB
bled. They tried Hooker few days sgo
and got aboutas badly punished. There
is no doubt but that they are now get
ting out of Atlanta as fast as possible.
and it is thought that the Battle for At
lanta has been fought. Our department
is now commanded by Gen. John A. Lo-
gan, as successor to Gen. Mcpherson,

Defamation of Judge Tyler.

In our last weeks issue We published
the letter of Judge Tyler to the Union
voters of Trumbul County, announcing
his intention of resigning the Office Of
Probate Judge, to which he was re-elect-
ed last fall for 9 second term Of three
years. We much regret that Mr.. flyer has
determined to retire from aposition which
he has filed 70 ably and unexception
ably to the public. His fine legal attain
ments, practical mind, his equable tenn
permanent, and kindness of heart enabled
him to discharge his duties with great
readiness, accuracy. and with general
satisfaction. We knew it has been his
custom to give disabled and wounded
soldiers, entitled to pensions, his profess
sional assistance free of any charge; also
when settling the small estates of wild
ows and orphans, to do the business gra-
tuitously, although entitled by law to re-
enumeration. Hundreds of these little
quiet, unobtrusive ~kindnesses, have been
bestowed on the poor and friendless,
through no other motive than pure SYM
patty. Having learned these facts foom
persons having opportunity to know of
them, we feel a pleasure in paying a
brief tribute to n who has proven him
self so worthy Of public confidence.
Most of our readers are aware that Mr.
Tyler has been intimately identified with
the A. & G. W. Railroad project, since
its inception. Since his election
to the Probate Office, it. of course,
required his main attention, and obliged
him to neglect the duties of Secretary of
the Company. The Railroad company
however finding Mr.. Tyler's assistance
and experience indispensable to them in
facilitating their business, voluntarily
held out such substantial inducements to
him to give them the benefit Of his whole
time and labor, that he recently con-
cluded to accept their proposition and
resign the Judgeship. While we regret
to lose so excellent q public officer, we
congratulate the railroad company on
having secured the services of a gentle
man so valuable to them.
The Judge expects to remain a citizen
of our town and county, and we have no
doubt will always be ready and willing in
the future, as in the past, TO lend a help
ing hand in every good work of local or
public concern.

June 18th, says:
we congratulate our neighbors of:the
Nineteenth Congressional District in the

Representative, of whom they as well as

still more congratulate our brave Volun-

BURNING OF cHAMBERsBURG.
HARRISBURG. July 8

HARRISBURG, July 30.
The best part of Chambersburg is said
to be in ruins and 5000 people rendered
homeless.
The people of Chambersburg received
information yesterday of the approach OF
the rebels. At once the merchants and
business men commenced packing up
their stock, and before 10 o'clock last
night, the most valuable merchandise was
far beyond the reach of the rebels.
At l O'Clock this morning a rebel force
Of IS mounted Infantry reached Cham
bersburg and encamped on the Fair
ground.
HARRISBURG, July 81.
Gen .McCausland was in command of
the rebel troops when they burned Cham
bersburg. After he had taken possession
of the town he made a proclamation de-
handing 100000 in gold. 1t was of
course impossible to comply and the de-
mand was made doubtless in full conf
dence of its failure and sure of affording
a pretext to execute the premeditated
plan for destroying Chambersburg. The
fact that the most valuable portion of the
merchandise had been removed, adj
ded to the rage and disappointment of
the rebels, and when they were thus in
spired this order was issued to fire the
Court House, Town Hall and Bank build
ing.
A strong breeze communicated the
flames to the surrounding buildings. Par
ties of soldiers having sacked the several
drug and chemical stores, manufactured
turpentine balls, which they threw in all
directions. creating as many different
flames in different localities, which Don
united in one general confiagration,-
Speedily the scene became heartrending
and appalling. The cracking and roar
ing of the flames, the shrieks of the
women and suffering children, and the
pitiful appeals of the old and helpless,
forced an Undesirable scene of horror
The citizens, without protest, had sub
mitted to plumber, and had ever appealed
10 the mercy of the rebels, but nothing
could appease the butcher and incendi-
airy McCausland.
265 of the most valuable, and elegant
public and private buildings were des-
troyed.
The town VISA fred at about IL o'clock
in the forenoon. The rebels remained
long enough to see the flames spread and
get under proper Roadway, when the
alarm was given that Averin was in pur-
suit.
No intelligence has reached Harrisburg
concerning the direct effect of AyerilPs
1t is believed, however, that he
succeeded in furnishing MeCausland

ATHENS, Ohio, July III, 1864.
By a resolution of the Board of Trus-
tees of the Ohio University, at Athens,

of the General Assembly, any honorably
discharged U. S. Volunteer, q citizen of
Ohio, who has been disabled in the SER
vice." is entitled to admission into any of
the Departments of the University, tut
ton free.
Also, each county of the State is enti-
tied, at all times, to free tuition for one
student, a citizen of the county.
The only step necessary to be taken by
a young man, to avail himself Of the
above, is the procuring of a certificate,
from the Military Committee in the form

ers in the latter, stating that its bearer is
of good moral character, and is entitled
to admission into the University under
the above regulations. By order Of the

A COOP REToRr.-The New York Jour
nal Of Commerce, quoting the oft-repeated
common place, that 'the rebellion is on
its last legs, asks peevishly how many
legs the rebellion has got. The Chicago
Tribune answers:
There is a leg in Ohio called Vallandig-
ham, one in Chicago called the Times, two
in New York, the Journal Of Commerce and
World, and one Cincinnati, the Enquirer,
besides two very lame legs at Richmond
and Atlanta. The Northern legs are the
most servioeable.''
