The War In Ge0rgia-Latest from Gen. Sher-
mans Operations.

NEW 1Okk, .Sunuay, june TO-
The Heralfs Nashville letter of the 2lst
says that Col Gage, of the goth, who was
wounded at the recent assault on Kenesaw
Mountain, passed through here tonight en-
route for st. Louis. On the 18th, three CON-
panies of the 54th rebel infantry came into
our lines on the Chattahoochee, took the oath
of allegiance and were employed as teamsters
and laborers. A camp of rebel conscripts on
the Hendersonville road, six miles from At
lanta, on Friday broke for our lines. They
numbered eight hundred, six hundred of
whom were recaptured by the rebels.
Ira B. futile, chief of scouts of the Army
of the Cumberland, on the 18th inst, with
four men, made daring descent on forage
post, fourteen miles southeast of Atlanta,
and captured rebel Lieut.. Col, Captain and
three issuing Sergeants, burning storehouse
containing fully thousand bushels of corn
and large lot of bacon.
On the 10th, j. Ell. Maskiton, of Ind, one
of our scouts, was captured at Kingston, Ga,
and hung as spy.
A gentleman from Atlanta says the citizens
are removing their valuables further South,
and that if Johnston is driven from the Chat
tahoochee he will make his next stand at
Cedar Bluffs river, nine miles south of At
lanta. He reports that the Governor OF
Georgia had issued proclamation warning
the Confederate forces not to destroy Attain
ia nor the railroads contiguous thereto, as
they are the property of the State, and that
Unnecessary he will call out the Georgia mi
litia and withdraw the Georgia troops from
the Confederacy to carry out the purposes OF
his proclamation.
Cedar Bluffs have been thoroughly fortified
by the rebels, and by them is considered inn
pregnable.
Mobile is garrisoned by two small brigades
of rebel troops, the remainder having been
sent to reinforce Johnston's left, and are
massed at the Williams House this morning

OFFICIAL DISPATCHES.
WASHINGTON, June IS.

WASHINGTON, June Is.
To Mag. Gen. Dir:
A dispatch from Gen. Grant, dated yesterday p.
m, reports operations in front, except from our
own guns, which fire at the bridge at Petersburg,
1000 yards distant.
Petersburg paper of the Goth states that Hun
ter is striking for Jackson River depot, 10 miles
north of Salem, and says if he reaches Covington;
which they suppose he will do with the most of his
force, but loss of material, he will be safe.
The same papers states that Gen. Wilson de-
stroyed train of cars loaded with cotton and fur
niture and burned the depot at BurksviIe and
destroyed the track and was still pushing South.
All the railroads leading into Richmond are now
destroyed, some Of them badly.
dispatch from Sherman received this morning
reports that yesterday made unsuccessful
attack on the enemy's position. We lost between
1900 and 5000. The loss is particularly heavy in
officers. Gen. Packer is reported mortally wound
ed, Col. Dan'l McCook, commanding brigade and
Col Rice of the 57th Ohio, very seriously; Col.
BOrndrell, 10th Illinois, and Col. Augustine, 55th
Illinois, were killed. We took few prisoners, but
do not suppose we inflicted very heavy loss on
the enemy, as he kept behind his parapet

WASHINGTON, June 2s-4PM.
~ HuJ. Ues. DtI'
The following dispatch has just been received
from Gen. Hunter:
sEI have the honor to report that our expedition
has been extremely successful in inficting great
injury upon the enemy and victorious in every en-
gagement. Running short of ammunition and
finding it impossible to collect supplies while in
the presence of an enemy believed to be superior
to our forces in numbers and constantly receiving
achievements from Richmond, deemed it best
to withdraw, and have succeeded in doing so with
out serious loss to this point, where 1 have met
with abundant supplies of food A detailed re-
port of our operations will be forwarded immedi-
ately. The command is in excellent heart and
health and ready, after few days rest, for service
in any direction
Nothing later than my telegram of this morning
has been received from Grant Sherman.

THE BLUE COAT OF THE SOLDIER.
BIT BISHOP BURGESS, OF MAINE.


You asked me, little one, Why bowed,
Though never passed the man beforef
Because my heart was full and proud
When saw the old blue coat he wore;
The blue great-coat, the sky-blue coat,
The cid blue coat be wore.
knew not, /, what weapon he chose.
What chief be followed, what badge he wore;
nough that in the font Of foes
His country's blue great-coat be worei
The blue great-eost, &C.,
Perhaps he was born in a forest hut,
Perhaps he had danced on palace hoor,
To want or wealth my eyes were shut,
IonIy marked the coat be wore;
The blue great-cOat, SC.
IL mattered not much if he drew his line
Prom Shem Ham, in the days of yore;
For surely he was brother of mine,
who for my sake the war coat wore.
The blue great coat, &c.
He might have no skill to read or write,
Or be might be rich in learned lore;
But knew he could make his mark in fight,
And nobler gown no scholar wore
Than the blue great-coat, &c
1t may be he could plumber and prowl,
And perhaps in his mood he seoffed and swore;
But would not guess a spot so foul
On the honored ceat he brayely wore;
The blue great-coat, sc.
He had worn ii long, and borne il far;
And perhaps on the red Yirginian shore,
From midnight till the morning star
That worn great coat the sentry wore;
The blue great-coat, &c.
When hardy Butler refined his steed
Through the streets OF proud, proud Baltimore,
Perhaps behind him, at his need
Marched he who yonder blue coat wore.
The blue great-coat, &c.
Perhaps it was seen in Burnside's ranks
When Rappahannoek ran red with gore;
Perhaps on the mountain side with Banks
In the burning sun no more he wore
The blue great coat, sc.
Perhaps in the swamps was a bed for his form,
From the seven days battling and marching sore,
Or with Kearny and Pope mid the steely storm,
As the night closed in, that coat he wore;
The blue great coat, SC.
Or when right over as Jackson dashed,
That collar or cape some bullet tore;
or when far ahead Antietam flashed,
lie flung to the ground the coat that he wore;
The blue great-eoat, &C.
or stood at Gettysburg, where the graves
Rang deep to Towards cannon roar;
or with Grant the unclaimed waves
Where conquering hosts the blue coat wore.
The great-blue eoa', SC.
That garb Of honor tells enough,
Though its story guess no more;
The heart il covers is made of true stuff,
That coat is all which that soldier wore.
The blue great-coat, sc.
He may hang it up when that peace shall come,
And the moths may find it behind The door;
But his children Will point when they hear q drum,
To the proud old coat their father wore;
The blue great-cOat &c.
And So my child, will you andI,
For whose fair home their blood they pour,
still bow the head, as one goes by
Who wears the coat that soldier wore.
The blue great-coat, the sky-blue coat,
The old blue coat the soldier wore.

From the Chicago Post

From the Chicago Post.
The Richmond Enquirerof Friday, Dec.
10, in semi. official editorial in favor OF
arn,ing the slaves, contains the following:
"When we supplicate European nations
for help. we must be prepared to receive it
on their own conditions which will De the
abolition of slavery. II we are prepared
to abolish slavery, it will not be necessary
to 60 to European nations for protection,
they will give US not only recognition, but
will follow recognition with such inter
vention as will secure nationality and
libe' ty." ~a.s.... ..r..
1t goes on to state that Gen. R. E. Lee
has written letter to w. Porcher Miles, of
South Carolina. Chairman of the House
Committee on Military Atf,irs, in favor of
arming negroes. 1t argues that SHERMAN,
when he gets to the coast, will tarry only
long enough to rest and recruit his men,
and then taking shipping for City Point, to
act in the spring as movable column
upon our lines Of communication and
this necessitates like column on our
part"
Continuing in an attempt. to show that
their present army is unable to stem the
torrent, it says: .....s
shall we prolong the war for the sake of
our negroes? Shall we sacrifice our chill
dren to preserve our slaves? Shall we ex.
haust our country, destroy our noble de.
tenders and endanger every institution
rather than test. an experiment that may
give us the means of recruiting our army,
Of assuming the offensive, and of conquer
ing a speedy peace? Neither rhetoric nor
whether the negroes will make for as faith.
ful soldiers. The experiment must test
and decide this question. Gen. Lee asks
that this experiment be made. For US this
is sufficient Never will we put our preju
dices against his deliberate Judgment aud
advice. He is a rash man that does. He
is not wise man that imposes response
5iities and yet withholds means for their
accomplishment" s sra r.s-
The Enquirer concludes the subject as
follows: s1asa.Ea d. z..z# atsEtsfE
but we hate, dctest and despise the
enemy far more than we love and admire
slavery. II our liberties cannot be gained
but by the sacrifice Of slavery, we are pre-
pared to make that sacrifice and to urge
that sacr flee upon our countrymen. We
would rot return into the Union if every
slave could be returned to his master, and
if every guarantee that human ingenuity
could devise, were secured for the protec.
ton of the constitution J" we prefer liberty
with free society to re union upon the
securest basis of slavery. Such we believe
to be the sentiment Of the people Of Vir.
! ginia but we know that great moral doubts
beset this question of arming the negroes,
| and vet the experiment ought to be tested,
and the fact ascertained, whether negroes
will make soldiers"
