AbOut Gen, SchUry,

Some time since copperhead paper in this
State-the Milwaukee Neacs if our memory is
not at fault-originated an item to the effect
that Ma. Gen. Carl SCHURz was in command
of a convalescent camp at Nashville, and that
his predecessor was a Captain. This item
was duly telegraphed to the Chicago Tunes,
and has finally got into the Eastern papers
generally.
The Nashville Times of the 9Th thus dis
poses of it
'There is not a word of truth in it. Gen.
S. left his command in the army of the Cum
berland in consequence of the consolidation
Gen. Sherman, who would have given him an
active command in the field, if ore had been
open. Unwilling to be idle while waiting,
Gen. Schurz, BY order of Gen. Sherman, I'M
dertook the formation of a large camp of
instruction, consisting of a very considerable
number of new three year troops, then COM
ing from the northern States. This body of
troops was intended TO form the nucleus of a
large reserve force to be organized here. As
it became necessary to scatter these regiments
upon a long line of railroad Gen. s. has again
reported for orders, and is now waiting for a
new command, just good many Generals,
who among the Louisville Journals favor
ties, have done before him.
He is, therefore. neither appointed to the
command of a cOnvalescent camp, nor was his
predecessor a Captain, inasmuch as he him
self formed the camp of instruction and had
no predecessor at all"

From ShermaD's Army,

The correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazetfl
with SHEKMAN's army, writes an interesting
resume of the campaign under date of June
5. On that morning our army occupied a
line, the right of which rested on Pumpkin
Vine Greek, at the foot of the Allatoona
mountains; thence 1t stretched almost due
east, through little place called Gogotha,
until it reached the railroad on the extreme
left. 1t was fully eight miles long; and, be-
ginning upon the left, is arranged, generally,
thus: SCHoFKLD, HOOKER, PALMER, HOWARD,
LOGAN, Dodge.
The rebel works extended parallel with our
line reaching also to the railroad, but were
abandoned during the forenoon of that day,
when they were occupied by our forces. The
Gazete's correspondent says:
The rebels have either retreated entirely
across the Chattahoochee, or Hardee's corps,
which was in front of Mcpherson III our
right, has moved to the extreme rebel right
to dispute the advance Of our infantry to the
the raj road. In the latter case we shall
have battle near Marietta; in the former
there Will be no more fighting this side OF the
Chattahoochee.
H says our losses since leaving Kingston
cannot be less than 5000 in killed, wounded
and missing, and that that of the rebels was
nearly as great. Our men were confident,
though fatigued and worn.

ANDREW JOHNSON, the Union candidate for
Vice President, was born in Raleigh, North
Carolina, IN 1908. At the age of ten he was
apprentlced TO a tailor, with whom he served
seven years Having completed his trade, he
removed to Lawrence, South Carolina, where
he worked as journeyman for two years
He returned to Raleigh in 1926, where he
continued to work at his trade. Shortly after
he removed to Greenville, Tennessee, and
commenced work as journeyman remained
there few months went farther west but
soon after returned to that place and com
menced business on his own account. In the
meantime he had learned to read and write,
deyoung the greater portion of his nights to
study.
He commenced public life soon after by
being elected Alderman, and in 1885 was
elected to the Legislature. He ran again the
following year, but was defeated; but ran
again in 1889, and was elected. In 1910 he
was Presidential Elector on the Democratic
ticket, and stumped the State. In 1871 he
was elected to the State Senate, and in 1913
was elected to Congress, where he continued,
by reflections, until 1858, when he was
elected Governor of Tennessee after an ex-
citing canvass-his competitor being GUsTAvUs
A. HENRY. He was reelected in 1865, and
at the expiration of his term was elected
United States Senator, where he remained
until the close of the session of 1861. His
subsequent career is too well known to re-
quire notice.
He was Democrat of the ANDREW JACK
son school, but since the Rebellion broke out
he has had no politics but the Union.

The Veteran I'd Hlseonsin-Order of Gen.
CEiIer,

The army correspondent of the New York
Herald writing on the 10th inst. says: 81
In nearly every recent lette have been
compelled to chronicle the departure of some
regiment whose term Of service has expired
The Second Wisconsin leaves tomorrow
morning. Major Otis is in command of this
regiment. 1t goes away with one hundred
and tweutv-eight enlisted men and fifteen
officers, including two surgeons This regi-
ment has been in fourteen battles and has
lost seven hundred and ninety-three killed
and wounded. Only sixteen names appear on
the rolls as discharged for disability and de-
serters. Very few regiments can show a bet
ter record than this. 1t was to Lieutenant
DAILY, of this regiment, that General Archer,
captured at Gettysburg, surrendered his
sword. In the present campaign, out of two
hundred and forty three, the regiment lost
one hundred and three. The following order
from Brigadier General Cutler, commanding
the division to which the regiment belonged
shows his estimation of the regiment
HEADQUARTERS, FOURTH DIvIs1oNl
FIFTH ARMY CORPS, June 10, 1854 {
The Second Wisconsin Volunteers, having
served their full term OF three years in this
army, and being about to leave Tor their
homes, the General Commanding deems it
proper for himself, and in behalf of those of
their comrades who remain behind, to ad-
dress the officers and men of that command
few parting words. Three years ago you
entered the service, more than thousand
strong. You now leave with one hundred
and thirty three, all told Where are they
O'Conner Stevens, Colwell, Randolph and
many others-both officers and men-are
mustered with the hosts on high Others
are disabled for life Others still are in reb-
ell prisons. Among all these things you have
always been true to your flag and your coun-
try You have never failed in any duty re-
quired of you. You have a right to be proud
of your record The State has reason to be
proud of you. You leave with the best wish
es of all your comrades, and to that, | wish
TO add my most cordial desire for your future
honor and prosperity, collectively and indi-
vidually. L. CUTLER,
Brigadier General Commanding

Al Attack on Petersburg.

\ Herala'S correspondent from Buffers ar
my gives details Of the recent attack on Pc
/ tersburg, showing that Gilmore advanced to
within short distance, but being informed
/ by woman that the rebels were prepared to
receive him, having obtained information the
day prev Is, he decided to return which he
did safely-with only % wounded. General
kautz, by another road, surprised and entered
! the rebel works by brave DASH capturing
several pieces of artillery and number of
prisoners, but not being co-operated with by
Gilmore, was obliged to fall back to prevent
being surrounded, bringing in his prisoners
and captured guns with him The gunboats
on the AppOmattoN threw many shells into
Petersburg during the movement.
The Tribune correspondent with Gen. But
Ter says Of the expedition against Petersburg:
There were 400 picked horsemen under
Kautz and between 5000 and 1000 infantry I'M
der Gilmore, all under command of Gen. Gil
more.
A. noon, when the infantry were within a
mile and a half of Petersburg Gilmore sent
a despatch that he heard Kautz's guns away
to his left, but had had no communication
with him.
Gilmore had instructions to advance or Pc
tersburg and engage the enemy. He return
ed tonight. Ii immaterial whether he
succeeded or not, the real object being to di-
vert attention from hautZ, who was to dash
into the city from the opposite side, burn the
Appomattox bridge destroy stores, supplies,
depots, &C., and do all he could to annoy and
harass the enemy.
A signal glass showed that Kautz was full
filing his mission, as cavalry were seen at
lacking upon the further side and driving the
enemy before them. This was inside the en-
trenchments on the outskirts Awaiting him
self Of the ID clause of his instructions, viz :
to return tonight, he sent back word that he
had found the works quite formidable, more
so than had been anticipated, and that he
and Gen. Hicks did not deem it prudent to
attack, and therefore retired one-half of
mile, where he formed in line-of-battle.
Meanwhile Kautz had forced the line of
entertainments with his cavalry, and was
fighting in the city, expecting the infantry
would assist him. The rebels, seeing Gil
more's force withdrawn, turned their atten
ton to Kautz, pressing him closely, and cap
turing a 3-inch gun.
At this the cavalry bounced upon a 12-poun-
der brass piece which they seized and brought
away. Still no sign of diversion in their ia
vor by the infantry to attempt to accomplish
the work assigned him was madness, and Gen.
kautz reluctantly withdrew.
