NEAR ATLANTA, Ga. July 20.
On the 21st inst an advance of the 23d corps
joined by the Is h and 18th corps. was made in
line, until the position gained was little more
than two miles from the city. General Blair
found an important position in his front called
Bald Hill an eminence to the south of the
railroad which he deemed necessary to occupy.
He charged the position and took it, though
with a loss of 700. From this the main works
and the buildings of Atlanta could be plainly
seen.
At night on that day the Army of the Ten
nessee was intrenched in line running nearly
south, facing west and reaching from Scho-
fields left, half mile north of the Railroad to
point nearly or quite two miles south of the
Railroad, in the following order: 18th corps on
the right 18th in the centre, and 18th on the
left. The line at the extreme left was thrown
well back to guard the flank.
At dark on the 2lst the rebels were busy
building works IN our front. At DAYLIGHT on
the 22d The pickets discovered them evacuated.
and the rebels all within their main line. Our
skirmsh line was at once advanced, and prep
arations made to have the whole line advanced
to the line thrown up by the rebels. Schofield's
CORPS moved up first and began to reverse the
works. The movement was carried on toward

while the 10th corps was order ed to the ex-

Early in the day Schofeld and Logan had re-

vanced their main line within three quarters of
a mile of the main defe' ces of Atlanta. Blair
had sent out working parties to complete the
works in his 'front.' W iile Dodge who was to
take position on Blar's left after he got into
position, was busy accommodating his position
At II O'clock Gen. Blair's troops was not in

FOUR YEARS AGO.

In 1860, when the Democratic party
saw that the National Wings, acting with
The so.called Republican party, had been
overruled and subjected to the Abolition
lists, they resolved to, and did, make a
powerful effort to convince those wings
and the people generally of the truth that
negro equality and disunion were the sure
design Of the Aboli!ionists, and that the
rights Of the States, and hence of the peo-
pie, would inevitably be crushed by the
success of the ticket and policy adopted
and inauguTated by the Chicago Plat
form Convention. Last Saturday u
proposition to give the right Of suffrage
TO negroes, 10 Washington, was gravely
