almost, If not altogether, lmpregnable to a
front attack, and hence the fanklng movement

Mcpherson, and was admirably conceived and
executed. He secured vital point at Snake
Gap, opening upon Resaca, fifteen miles In the
rear Of Dalton, and no sooner was this done
than Sherman shifted the main body of his
troops to the right, following McPhsrson.

Breckinridge's command having been inter
cepted while on their way to reinforce Lees

no reliable intelligence of the kind has reached
us. - H..
We have reason to believe, however, that

immensely the railroad communications Of the

One thing is certain, viz; II any disaster has
befallen sigel or Averlll we should have been
