The 18th army corps under Gen. Frank
P. Blair arrived here yesterday at noon,
and to-day We have been preparing for
the field, and tomorrow morning at day
light we will be on our road to the
g 'front.'" which is supposed to be near
Kingston, Ga. The 18th corps wilFmove
west to Decatur, which is on the Memphis
4 Charleston railroad, 30 miles west, and
from thence over the country to Rome,
Ga. The object Of our moving in that
direction and in such haste is no doubt
for the purpose of taking Johuson's cleft "
IN the flank and thus prevent his fanking
Sherman's right"
We have had severe march from
Clifton, Tenn, to this place, and now are
10 start On a more hard and longer one,
but our baggage has been much reduced
and all 4out in the Eghtest manner posi-
bic. Only one blanket and valice to
each Officer, one blanket and change of
under clothing to each man, are to be
taken, as each regiment is allowed but
two teams; andsowe go prepared to march
quickly and be ready to fight battle at u
moments notice. No doubt We will get
our "rations of fighting while on the
road, and 50 far from the main army, but
our friends may rest assured that the cause
win not suffer when the VETERANS Of
the 18th corps once more come to ex-
change lead and iron with the traitors of
their country.
Everything in this department is going
on aplendidly, and if the expectations of
the army are realized, not only will this
campaign end in the possession of Atlanta
but Ae very hsrrt ofthe Contfievery

The health Of the 18th is excellent, in
fact ! venture to say the regiment was
never in . better condition than at the
present time.

fighting two days and all night last night,
The enemy massed. On me during the
night and made three. desperate charges,

In front Of my lime at least one thousand
lay dead and wounded, and~in the entire
charge they could not have lost less than
three thousand, Their papers Of the2Sth
speak despoudingIy of their prospects, al
though they have made strong stand
here. think we will rest few days and
then pitch in again. This has been a
fighting campaign ] have lost many Of

Of the other commanders, although we
have been engaged in full as many fights.

POSITION OF THE ARMIES IN
FRONT OF RICHMOND.

The Chickahominy is an insignificant
and easily passable stream, except when
the adjacent bottom lands are awamPy by
rains The fact that Lee is fighting with
his back to the Chickahominy. would
seem to indicate that the stream il now
easily passable. and that Grant will not,
when he reaches it, have to contend with
the physical difficulties which delayed and
ultimately paraIyzed McClellan's advance.
Lee evidently has thus an easy retreat
behind him-otherwise he would not now
be fighting at Cold Harbor.
The attack Of Grant at Cold Harbor on
Wednesday shows that he has no inten-
ton Of giving Lee time to create addition
al defences between our army and Rich
mond.
Cold Harbor is a point of considerable
Importance in the.present position of the
armies before Richmond. It Is on the
principal road leading from Richmond to
White House, via New Bridge. Il is
simply a locslity-no viflage-a cross
roads and dilapidated old tavern. The
roads passing here however, are important
one leads to Richmond, seven miles
distant; another to White House, sixteen
miles distant; another to Old Church.
FIVE miles, from which road leads to
Hanoyertown; another to Dispatch Sta
ton. near Bottoms Bridge, on the Rich
mond and York River railroad. Cold
Harbor is two miles east of Gaines Mill,
and it was really our extreme right when
the battle of that name was fought in
1862. The movement Of Lees force to-
ward that point would seem to be with q
view Of depriving Grant of the use of AN
excellent road to his base at White House
