Government take steps to pay off these

have as fine an army as ever marched to the
top of the drum. It seems hard that these
brave fellows, who have borne the burden

The railroad from Dalton was most affect
ually destroyed by Hood. The track was
torn up for distance of thirty-eight miles
lin fact the whole way from Dalton up to
within three hundred yards of Resaca. The
destruction was complete. The railsw
torn up and beat, the ties burned, the ex-
cavatioHs fiiled up, and the tunnel blown
into mass OF ruins, the brick arches fall
| ing like the wall OF house! 1t is said that
the damage to the road caunot be- repaired
in less than two months.
In destroying the railroad our men fol>

dred yards Of Resaca. The enemy had
| mounted guns, but none of them, comman
, ded the railroad. Our men were all eager
to attack and carry Resoca, but Hood said
that there was nothing there, and that its
capture would not be, worth the sacrifice OF
life it would cost. -
General Beauregard had his headquarters
at Jacksonville, but left soon after the army
took UP its line of march, to join them in
the field. His presence had inspired the
people with the greatest confidence.

Everything wears cheerful aspect, .abd it is
believed that the enemy will soop be driv-

has taken place in the popular mind since
the fall Of Atlanta, and the people of Geor

and subjugated BY the Yankees, All along
the route from Alabama to Richmond our
friend says that there was the most buoyant
