A MODEL writer.

General sherman has surpassed all the nows.
paper correspondents as q military writer. lie .s
not as picturesque, nor as effective, in popular
point Of view, as some OF the gentlemen connected
with journalism but for cOnciscncss pcrsp.cacty,
ard comprohensiyeness, with brevity, he Is a
perfect model. The cougratulatory order which
he issued to his army at Atlanta, on the S,h in
slant, IS a superb example of this In less than
page OF an ordinary duudecW) Dopa, ne sur-
vtys The grand four month, campaign which
opened by the march from Chattanooga and was
cOnsummatcd by the fall OF Atlanta. Les, some
of cur sty lists, or students Of style, should have
overlooked this historical gem, We give it a set
ting Eere -
"On the lst day OF May our armies were lying
I'm garrison, seemingly quiet, from kuuNyillc 10
Huntsville and our enemy lay behind his rocky
ficed barrier at Dalton, proud, defiant and cNult-
ing. He had had time since Christmas 20 recover
ftUm bis discontinue on the Mission RiJg' with
his ranks filled, and new rommandern-chct
second 10 none Of the COnlcdcracy va reputation
for skill sagacity, and extreme popularity.
"All 90 once our arm.C assumed life and action,
and apr cared before Dalton. Threatening Rocky
Pace, we threw ourselves upon Bosaca, and the
Rebel army only escaped by the rapidity OF It's
retreat, aided by the numerous roads with which
he was familiar, and which we're strange to as.
Again he took post at Altoona, but We gave
him no rest, and by a circuit towards Dallas
and a subsequent movement o ACkwOrth, we
gained the Altoona Pass. Then followed the
eyentful battles about kcnCsdw, and the escape
OF the enemy across the ChattahOOohce river.
"The crossing of the ChattahoOchee aud break
ing OF the Augusta road was most handsomely
executed by Us, and will be- studied US m exam
plc in the art of war. At this stage OF our game
our enemies became dissatisfied with their Old
and sliful commander, and selected one more
hold and rash. New tactics were adopted
nood first boldly and rapidly, on the % h OF
July, fell on our right at Pcachtrec creek, anu
lost.
Again, on the 22d he struck our extreme left
and was severely puHished and finally again, on
the 2Stb, be repeated the attempt on our right
and that time must have been satisfied; for sinCC
that date he has remained on the defensive. W.
slowly and gradually drew our lines abOu
Atlanta, feeling for the railroads which supple,
the Rebel army and made Atlanta place o
| importance
! I'VE must ConcOdc to our enemy that he me
these efforts patiently and skiliuly; but at las
| he made the mistake we had waited for so long
| and sent his cavalry to our rear, far beyond tn
reach of recall. Instantly our cavalry was oI
| his only remaining road, and we followed quickl,
| with our principal army, and Atlanta fell into on
! possession the fruit of well concerted measures
| backed by a brave and confident army.
| "This completed the grand task which had bee
assigned us by our Government"
