The last information Of the movements
Of 'hs enemy in trout, brought py Col.
Ihrasber, Chief Of the Press Association,
estimates the Federal force at upwards Of
one hundred thousand, advancing in sep.
crate columns, one by the Lafayette road,

Resaca, and the other from Cleveland by
Spring Place AID the old Federal road TO
East Tennessee, to Nrike the railroad a.

The Federal plan WAS evidently to ad
vance upon Johnston in three columns,
convergipg towards the rear OF Dalton.
The orders were issued and the heavy
machinery was pu. in motion. Sherman
with the centre column tries Rocky Face
Ridge, and feels and avoids il, and, goes
through the gap nearest Resacs and the
railroad. !le might, it is true, have been
checked at this gap. but would have &C
compIished the end anyway, by flanking
farther to the left.
Gen. Johns,on WAS, Of course, fully ad.
vised Of all these movements Of the enc.

under the circumstances, in anticipating
Sherman. and thwar,ing tho design TO
