EEYesterday, 20th, Scofeld was ordered to
cross Moses Creek on the extreme right, and
the other corps to demonstrate with artillery
and skirmishers. Gen. Howard took advan-
tage of this order to secure an important hill
in front of Stanley's Division, which he be-
lieved was not held in any great force by the
enemy.
When, therefore, the artillery opened all
along the lines upon the enemys works,
Whittaker's brigade charged the hill. They
drove the rebels headlong, capturing twenty
one prisoners including two officers. The
rebels made five attempts to regain the hill,
but our troops were promptly supported, and
In an incredibly short time had thrown up a
protecting breastwork. Once when the reb-
els made their most strenuous attempt to re-
gain the hill, charging with three lines, Gen.
Howard was upon the hill behind the breast
work. He commends highly the conduct of
Whittakers men-espeeially the 2lst Ken
lucky, 10th Ohio and Goth Illinois. The first
named lost eight officers in the charge, includ-
ing their Colonel (Col. Price, wounded in
chestl.
Once the rebels forced back one regiment
(35th Indiana), and some of them got within
the works. The 10th Ohio came to the res
cue and drove them out with great slaughter.
The rebel dead in front of one line upon the
hill are not less than 140-making their loss
five or six hundred at that point, not reckon
ing that they carried off any of their killed.
Our losses amounted to about 200 killed and
wounded, besides fifteen captured when the
35th Indiana were driven back.
Gen. Thomas again expresses his satisfac-
tiou with what was accomplished by the 4th
Corps yesterday. Scofeld succeeded in cross
ing Moses Creek without loss the enemy be-
ing too much occupied by the operations in
the center to offer much ress tsnce to him, his
attack being upon point less vital to them.
Some of our riaed shots will wake up the
people of Marietta. We hope soon to be
firing beyond Marietta and towards Atlanta
with even shorter range than we now have
upon Marietta. After we gain the works in
our present front, they will probably not be
able to make another stand this side of the
Chatahoochee.
Our operations consume time, but General
Sherman with his able army commanders has
thus far been able to economic human life
and still steadily force back the enemy. With
the favor of kind Providence we will continue
to press them back or will defeat them in gen.
eral battle if they accept battle. We have ev-
cry reason in human view to be confident of
success, and none in this army seem to have
any doubts. ALMA.

they sought the steslthy shelter of prisons and
solicited the ObScurity of darkness for the graft
ficston of their passionate vengeance, they glut
it now under the MONDAY sun. and murder
wounded men in the sight Of the world. So do
the real traits Of the-enemy with whom wo arc
at ware and the real character of the struggle
in which we are embarked, begin to disclose
themselves. Between tho spirit which could
slowly torture prisoners TO death, and the spirit
which leaps TO the killing Of four hundred
prisoners on the instant, We detect no essential
difference.
There may bo room for hope that the first ac-
counts are exaggerated. but no room for doubt
that they arc founded on horrible facts. Taking
any part of the story to be true it is possible an
attempt will be made to excuse the killing as a
severity of war to which garrison obstinately
making hopeless resistance has sometimes
tbouph eyen.in the EXTREMIST cases but seldom
been put Bn, there is no such excuse. The
ruIo never had a recognized existence as OF
general application, and no'er passed INTO prac-
tice without remonstrance anu reproach.
Badaios remains an ineiIaccablc stain On the
English name and finds its most indignant
ccnsure at the hands of an English historian.
The storming of Drogheda by Cromwell, and
the putting of its garrison to tho sword, though
admitting q partial justification from military
necessity, has left shadow on the name Of the
Protector which even Carlyle's illumination
cannot wholly dispel In this case there was
neither the pallation of long siege nor Of
military necessity, and Forrest has placed his
name side by side in iniamy with that Of the
butcher Of Lawrence.

On the question whether there shall be equal
political rights to all citizens of the Territory OF
Montana, the House yesterday again disagreed
with the Senate voting by SO to SO 10 reject the
Conference Report. Mr.. Webster OF Maryland
contrived to put his instructions TO The Com
mittec in a peculiarly bigoted and offensive
form. and the House ratified them--Yeas, 10;
Nays, 81. They forbid the Committee to agree
to any report which authorizes any other than
II" free white male citizens" TO vote. Yet this
House has passed bill for tie enrolment oi
cclored citizens, and has urged upon the Exec
utve a more vigorous effort for their enlistment.
That is, the House thinks the negro good enough
TO fight for the Union, but not good enough TO
vote iorit The Senate declined the proposition
of the House for a new Committee of Conference
on the ground that it was impertnently offered.
