that has never been followed heretofore
during the war, though nearly identical
with the trace pursued by Gen. Jackson in
the war against the Greek Indians.
The 6rst point of any Importance on the
route is Blountsville, next Ashville. A
few miles beyond Ashvil,e is Caved river.
He is then to move rapidly on the Tallade-
ga, aud by the nearest bridge or ford over
the Tallapoosa river. The route between
these two streams is to be very rapidly pur-
sued, and the bridges are to be completely
destroyed. The passage Of the Tallapoosa
will in all probability be made at Dsdesville
BY the mountain roads, when the work of
destruction viii commence. There are
eight bridges on the railroad between Mont
g0mery and Opelike, and it is also probable
there are that number of tunnels and
bridges to be found in the valley between
Opelike md West Point. There arc two
bridges over Big Hallevrecker and Oson.

The New Postal Announcement.

By the new post Office law, which went
into effect on the lst Of July, Leagenwortb
ranks with the first grade, and her Post
Master will receive the same salary as he
of Baltimore and Philadelphia, New York
being the only exceptionary. The new
regulation comprises only four grades. The
fee and perquisite system is entirely abol-
ished, each Post Master having a stated
salary, and the GoYernment defray ing all
the expenses of clerk hire, rent, fuel, &c.
The money order system is like to prove
the most popular and valuable of any postal
reform for long period. It entirely ob.
viates the necessity of transmitting money
or drafts by mail, and thus insures the
parties interested against the possibility of
loss. If A of Leavenworth wishes to send
B of Boston $40 or $4,000, he will de-
posit the same with the Post Master here
and receive government certificate of the
amount, while the former notifies the Bos-
ton Post Master to pay the said B the
amount stated, upon application, and charge
the same to the National Bank of Leaven.

Tho Inevitable Result Of the Present Campaign.
BERMUDA HUNDREDS, Va, ]
Ersdav- Julr, lS- 1894

fnday, July ios 1904.
The date of my letter is suggestive. It
remiuds me most vividly of the excitement
and exhiIaration in which I participated on
the 18th of June-juss four weeks ago to-
night-when those marvelously strong
works in front Of Petersburg we're wrenched
from the rebels, and seized by the Union
army with determined and unrelenting
grip, which must in time strangle the re-
bellion, or, al least, make the evacuation OF
Richmond necessity. These are not idle
words. The people, always steadfast in
their hope of ultimate success, yet always
impatient of delay, may shake their heads
iucredulously, and call this the view of an
optimist. Let them do this, but it is fact
nevertheless. Gen. Grant believes it. So
do his subordinate Generals. So must
every thinking man in the army and out of
it. Consider moment How can Rich
mond be teuable without supplies for Lees
army? These supplies are not in the city.
There are not provisions enough in the
rebel capital to feed the troops on half
rations for two weeks. Such is a well
advised estimate. Now, whence is subsis-
tence to be obtained? Our cavalry, by
destroying the railroads south of Richmond
have either completely shut off the sources
of supply, or have SO seriously interrupted
them, that Lee finds himself in desperate
strait. They now stand ready again to
swoop down upon these roads like hawk
upon its quarry. All that is required now
is to keep the cavalry branch of the service
in an effective condition, and starvation,
grim, gaunt and unrelentipg, will do the
rest. Is it not clear then that the army in
its present lines and limits, holds the
coigue of vantage? The rebels must sue.
cumb under its vice like grip. They feel
this. They struggle now like dying man
whose throat is clutched and whose arms
are pinioned by a superior power, but whose
imbs are yet free to strike and writhe |
little time before his strength is finally |
exhausted. We must expect hard knocks
aud painful bruises SO BONG as these strug.
Cling limbs continue their convulsive death
hroes, but there is not sufficient vital force
to do US permanent injury. And
he long agony would doubtless have been
over now if Gen. Hunters column had been
strong enough to have held the lodgment
made by him at Lynchburg.

From Atlanta-Death of Mcpherson,

The Tribune's Washington special of the
Oath, says Government has received dis
patches from Sherman, announcing that on
Friday the rebels, under General Hood.
massed heavy force against his left wing
consisting of Mcpherson grand division,
composed of Logan's and Blair's corps, and
made desperate attack, gaining tempo
rary advantage. After terrific fighting, in
which number of charges were made, they
were repulsed with much slaughter, and
driven back into their forti6cations. Major
General Mcpherson during the battle be-
came separated from his staff and was killed
BY sharpshooters. After Me- Pherson 8 death
Logan assumed command of his division.
Later dispatches say our forces had OBJ
tanned possession of the elevated ground on
the northeast of the town, and that seige
guns had been mounted which command
the place also that the rebels were burning
their stores, preparatory to a retrograde
movement. Every body is confident that
Atlanta, BY this time, has fallen into our
hands. .
A Nashville dispatch says: The remains
Of Gen. Mcpherson reached here, and we're
escorted through the city to the Nashville
depot by battalion of the 18th regiment,
Capt. Samonte, 10th Tenn. Infantry, Col.
Schully, and the 5th regular artillery
Generals Milroy, Webster and S. Gilmore,
and Gov. johnson and staff were in the
procession, which was accompanied by all
the officers of the different Departments in
the city. The remains arrived at Sandusky,
Ohio, on the 25tb, accompanied BY guard
from the 18th regulars, of two officers and
ffsy men.
The streets we're thronged with citizens,
and all the employees assembled to honor
the remains of Mcpherson.
