NOUS opinion Of the twelve Generals OF d.
vision, but also on tbe unanimous opinion Of
every n4ss.ta.y ssan con1d get IN opinion
from, and every modern military book, your

you to know low Your struggle against tits

municate with noboay but Fitz John Porter,
and perhaps Gen. franklin do not say
tbeee complaints are true or just; but, at all

existence. Do the commanders Of corps dis
obey your orders In anything?
When: you relieved Gen. Hamilton Of his

the couf1deucs Of at least one Of yonr best
friends in the Senate. And here let me say,
not ss applicable TO ron personally, TINT SEN

their places - they please, without question,
and that officers Of the army must cease ad.

Hood is believed to have not more than 4
weeks rations in Atlanta. The loss of
his baggage train. which Gen. Stonernan's s.
raid DESTROYED, (5s0 wagons, with all the
mules and the contents of the train, will
prevent him from subsisting his army iu
Atlanta or of marching north any consid-
erable distance over country stripped Of
food for man and beast. General Sher-
man can SubsiSt his troops from the prod
nets OF the country in his rear. There is
abundance of corn, cattle and vegetables
which his large cavalry force will enable
him to collect
We may look for exciting news from
Sherman's army at any moment. This
