The War News,

General Sherman announces the retreat of
Johnston's army from Kinesaw Mountain,
where they s%tubbornly contested our adj
vance for some weeks. 1t is not yet
known whether the rebels will retire at
once beyond the Chattahoochee River,
but it is supposed they will. The rail-
road crosses the Chattahoochee eight
miles from Atlant.
The rebel and butternut stories about a
great disaster to General Hunter, were all
false. The exact truth is stated in a let
ter from a soldier of Crooks division,
which we publish this morning. The ex-
petition was a success. though the infant
ry by the Kanawha division, under
Crooks, had little assistance from Aver
ellis cavalry, which, if composed of good
material, Is not well commanded; and
some of General Hunters ''vigor" might
be much better demonstrated in another
business than burning school houses, a
performance that is disgraceful, and con-
demned by all good soldiers.
Hunters forces fell back from Lynch
burg and retreated to the Kanawha Val
ley, and it appears from yesterdays dis
patches that the force sent by Lee to
Lynchburg continued up the Valley of
Virginia, and were yesterday threatening
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Some
skirmishing has occurred, and Sigel has
evacuated Martinsburg. There will be
an effort to get mp a scare about this mat
ter, but it will not be successful.
Kautz and Wilson had a serious time in
rejoining Grants army after their raid
upon the Danville road, and suffered pref
ty heavy losses. They we're engaged in
a very important work, and if they did
it as well as they claim, their losses are
far more than compensated.-CSH. Com.

WAR DEPARTMENT,
WAsHISGToN, July 80 A. N.

To HajOr General Dir:
The following telegram dated today
Marietta, Georgia, was received this even
ing from General Sherman, giving sue
cessful results of the fianking operations
in progress some days ago.
The movements on our right caused
the enemy to ~evacuate. We occupied
Kenesaw at daylight and Marietta at $50
A. n. Thomas is moving down the main
road towards the C-hattahoochie, and
Mcpherson towards the mouth of the
Mickapick, on the Sandtown road. The
cavalry is on the extreme TANKS
Whether the enemy will halt this side
of the Chattahoochie or not will soon be
known.
Marietta is almost entirely abandoned
by the inhabitants. More than a mile
of railroad iron has been removed between
the town and the foot of the Kenesaw.
A dispatch from Gen. Grants Head
quarters, dated nine o'clock Yesterday
morning, gives the following results:
Through Gen. Wilson's operations, six
ty miles of railroads have been thorough
ly destroyed. The Danville road, Gen.
Wilson reports, could not be repaired in
less IHdn lOrIY uays, even II all n ma
terials were on hand. He destroyed all
the blacksmith shops where rails could
be Strengthened and all mills where scan
things for sleepers could be sawed. Will
son brought in about 400 negroes and
many horses and mules which were gath
cred by his force. Hereports the rebels
slaughtered, without mercy, the negroes
they took. Wilson's loss of property is a
small wagon train used to carry ammuni-
ton.
His ambulance train and II cannon,
horses of artillery and wagons were gene.
rally brought off. Of the cannon two
were removed from the carriages, the
wheels of which were broken and thrown
into the water, and one other gun had
been disabled by a rebel shot, breaking
its trunions before it was abandoned.
he estimates his loss at from $50 to
LOCO men, including those lost from
Krautz's division.
A rebel force made its appearance
nea Martinsburg this morning, and were
at last accounts destroying the railroad
and advancing on Martinsburg.
The reports received are as yet too con.
fused and conflicting to determine the
magnitude of the force or the extent
of its operations.

| write you this morning, sad at heart.
Yesterday Co.'S C and D were sent out on
the skirmish line, with orders to advance,
should Gen. Newton's line with which
we were connected on the right move
up. The attempt was made about 3
o'clock P. NJ, and calamity did old Trum-
BULBS sons respond. With a yell they
drove the enemy from their rife pits, up
to their retrenched works, but the fire
was ~enfilading the entire line, and after
an hours hard fighting were obliged to
retire, partly to the edge of the woods in
front of their old position, which they
held. Among the foremost was poor Bar
ney Laughren, as gallant a soldier as ever
faced a rebels fire. Brave to rashness,
he pushed ahead of the line, and fell, the
boys say, MORALLY wounded. We used
every endeavor to get him off, but no n
could approach him and live. Several
parties, last night made the attempt, but
were obliged to give it up. He was the
pride of the company, with his pleasant
face, cheerful disposition, always ready,
always ready for duty.
We feel proud of the days operations,
but feel deeply the loss of twelve brave
men from n company. In my present
position all companies should be alike to
me, but l cannot but have a deep solicit
tude when my old company goes in-can
not but watch them when they do their
duty so nobly, and mourn deeply over
their loss.
The last FIVE mentioned as wounded,
are not disabled, but are now doing duty
in their company.

Batteries | aud NJ, lst New York, and
Knapp's Pennsylvania Battery, and car
rying without serious opposition an i'm
portant ridge in his front, where he pre-
ceeded at once to establish himself. The
other divisions of the 20th corps pushed
forward their skirmishers, gaining several
hundred yards, and it must be remem-
bered that every yard gained tells upon
the enemy in his circumscTibed position.
The 23d corps. on the extreme right,
had executed a long and tiresome wheel
TO the left, including no less than SIX par
allels, in the week preceding the 9th
1t had pressed the enemy so closely,
that it was established within 400 yards
of the main rebel Notifications, leaving no
room for skirmishers, and, though on the
day of assault the I'd Division opened
heavily, with musketry and artillery, up
on the enemy, they confined their efforts
to stout skirmishing, sustaining a loss
of seyenty-iVe killed and wounded.
During the preceding night, General
Cox's division, Of the sd Corps, was push
ed boldly south on the Sandtown Road,
and, crossing Obey Creek, reached an i'm
| portant fork in the road nine miles south
of Marietta, and but three from the
! Chatahoochee River, which, at last sdVi
ces he still held, with nothing confront
ing him but a heavy force of cavalry
Whether cutting into the retreat of the
enemy was intended by this movement,
in case the assault succeeded, or whether
it was simply a diversion in favor of the
storming columns, or whether a perma-
nent extension of our right wing to that
point was designed, has not yet been de-
veloped. The rebel cavalry in Cox's
front consisted of two divisions, COM
manded by Jackson, fifty of whom we
captured. Our loss in the movement
was not over fifty.

The Atlantic and Great western
and MIR. Marvin Kent.

The Washington Chronicle in an arti-
Gle, headed, Great Men. pays the follow
ing tribute to Marvin Kent:
The celebration took place at Dayton,
where the last spike was driven into the
last rail by Marvin Kent. Esq, who pro-
jected the route in 1850. and, in 1858,
drove the first spike. The name of Mr..
Kent will be new to most of our readers,
perhaps; but certainly the man who pro-
jected a railroad twelve hundred miles
long, ~six-foot gauge, persuaded thousands
of men-capitalists, Legislators, and 9TH
ers-to come into his grand plans, and
who drove the first and last spike in the
first and last rail which were put down,
deserves to be known, honored, and re-
membered a great deal longer than hun
dreds of others who achieve notoriety, if
not fame, by deeds demanding less brain,
energy, and frmness of purpose in the
performance, and comforting less benefit
upon society by their consequences.
