In 1928 the NJ. T.. Church claims that Mr. Wesley

Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1864-07-25

eminently successful, but thinks Hardee
was entitled to the promotion, both by SEN
lorlty and greater experience. The secret
OF this appointment Is soon told. Our all-
thorities are diseased in mind, and the era
zicst of their craziest is their fanced pos
session of an intuitive knowledge OF men. L.
The success Of the cause is subservient to
the qualification of personal feeling, or else
an army like that at Atlanta would not be
trustedto an untried General made for the
occasion. 1t is known, too, that Hood
alone, of Johnston's Lieutenants, has been
from the beginning opposed to the retro
grade movement from Dalton. Anew pol
icy having been adopted, it was perhaps
proper to find commander whose views
accorded with that policy. Hence Hardee
was overstepped.
WASHINGTON, July 2i.-The latest off,
cial dispatches from Gen. Sherman repre-
sent repeated fighting, and give the cir
cumstances attending the death of General
Mcpherson, who fell in battle in the severe
contest of Friday.
New YORK, July A.-The Herald's
Nashville dispatch, dated the 23d, says, we
have nothing further from Atlanta, not
even a confirmation of its occupation by
Gen. Thomas army.
No dispatches have been received at
Sherman's headquarters direct from that
city. Another dispatch says Gen. Rosseau
was at Poolesville, 120 miles south of De-
catur, on the 4th. He had slight engage
ment with body Of the enemy, dispensing
them.
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1864-07-25
suerriIIas nt henderson, Ky.

LOUISVILLE, July 23.-The Evansville,
Ind, journal, of yesterday, says courier
arrived there on Thursday from Henderson,
advising the military authorities that Hen
derson was attacked by the rebels from one
hundred and fifty to seven hundred, and
fighting was going on. Our gunboats have
left for Henderson. The Federal troops
who went to Henderson on Wednesday to
shoot two guerrilla prisoners in retaliation
for the murder of O Union man in Hender-
son county, occasioned this rebel raid. Ger
tain distinguished citizens made great exer-
tions to prevent the execution, and Gen.
Ewing postponed it. The citizens of Hen
derson left in large numbers, the Halleck
being literally crammed. Persons who
left later report the guerrillas in the city
and Federal troops in line of battle await
ing an attack. The timely arrival of the
gunboats would save the Federal troops
from disaster.
LATEsT.-Passenger arriving last night
say the gunboat Brilliant was shelling the
woods at the lower end of Henderson, but
it was not expected Capt. Perkins will do
the town much damage, whether the guer-
rillas are there or not. We are sorry Com
mander Fitch is not there in person.

From the Army Of. tIhc Potomac.

WASHINGTON, July 24-A letter from
the Army of the Potomac, dated yesterday,
says nothing of particular interest has oc-
CURED in the past two days. The skirmish-
ing in Burns .de's front OIL Friday afternoon
was quite lively, but without injury to our
men. This seems to be the only part of the
line where it may be said the firing is al
most unceasing, scarcely five minutes
elapsing in the day or night without hear
ing musketry or artillery.
Gen. Grant has assigned the command
of the 18th army corps 10 Gen. Birney,
who proceeded to his new post on Saturday
morning. Gen. Birney has well merited
this promotion, no division in the army
having performed nobler service during
the campaign. Gen. Mott succeeds to the
