ANDREW JOHNSON
OF Tennessee.
From, Gen. sherm ans Army.

On the 10Th inst, the army under
Gen. Sherman had an engagement with
the rebel Gen. Johnson's army four
miles north Of Marietta, Georgia. Gen.
Hooker with his corps charged on the
enemy who were situated on high
hill, called Lost Mountain and after 4
severe engagement drove them from it.
Onr loss, under him was about 200 in
killed and wounded; more Of our men
were captured. We took 1000 prison
era, IL cannon and 5000 small arms.
At the same me the corps under Gen.
Schol.ld engaged the enemy on Pine
!!ill near Lost Mountain and drove them
from it capturing $50 prisoners and
three guns, our loss not stated.
This fighting took place twenty six
miles north Of Atlanta, at spot well
chosen by Johnson. It is said he can
not make another as good stand in
Georgia, and he is determined 20 fight
IL ont here. The two armies were
lying close TO each other and doubtless
have had more severe fighting BY this
time.
Our army has now reached the Chat
tahoochce river, and Sherman's head.

Mn. EDlroR.
We are in camp at the above named
place quietly wearing off the fatigue Of
the late Western Louisiana expedition.
This place is notorious for guerrilla
operations, which have been carried on
to such an extent as to materially OBJ
struct navigation at times. The high
levee serves them as breast works, 90
formidable that nothing can dis!odge
them except force in their rear. From
appearances l think there will small
force remain here. Two large forts are
being constructed on the poiot Of the
Bend.
A few days since it was reported
that a rebel force was crossing the
Atchafalaya twelve miles from here
with the intention of attacking this
place. A part Of two divisions was or.
dered out to reconnoitor. We moved
out eight miles and halted until the
cavalry secured the country between
