calamity, and held its own until Gen.
Dodge with The 10th Corps, came up,
when the rebels were hurled back with
great slaughter
Gen. Logan, at the head of the 18th
Corps, went into battle with the rally
ing cry Of ''Remember Mcpherson"
This Corps as well a. Davis 18th
Corps. both cons ituting the army un-
der Major General Mcpherson, fought
desperately, the news Of their brave
commanders death having been com
unicated TO them just before going
into battle.
Gen. Mcpherson was shot willie
reconnoitering. He having become
separated from his staff for moment,
a rebel sharpshooter shot him from an
ambush.
The terrible struggle ended by re-
pulsing the enemy at every point on
the line
1t was arranged that on Saturday
the dead OF both armies should be
buried, and the wounded removed un-
der flag Of truce.
The Union troops buried one thou
sand rebels left on the field within our
lines, many Of their own dead being near
their own works.
Upon this basis. it is estimated that
the rebel killed and wounded. on Fri
day, will exceed six thousand. the
average Of killed and wounded in bat
tie being about seven wounded to one
killed
Our loss will reach about 1000 in
killed and wounded-the 18th Corps
suffering severely, for the reasonnamed
above, that the enemy massed against
it.
1t was this act Of the enemy in part
that cost him such heavy loss While
the work Of burying the dead and re-
moving the wounded was going on on
Saturday, Sherman's heavy artillery
was playing upon the city At the
same time large fires We're observed in
different parts Of Atlanta, supposed to
be the destruction OF sapply depots
and such other property as they could
not convey away, and did not wish to
have fall INTO our hands
This was considered evidence of an
intention by the enemy to evuacuate
the place.
Several rebel generals are reported
killed, but their names are not given.
Gen. Smiths Victory Over Forrest in
Mississippi.
Details Of the battle Of Tupelo prove
that Gen. Smith out-manGuvred the
rebels thoroughly; and whipped them
in five several but united conflicts from
the 18th to the 18th inst. On the night
Of the 18th they attempted a surprise
and were repulsed. Gen. Forrest led
three charges on the 18th, and each
was repulsed. Butord's cavalry divis-
ion was defeated on the 10th. From
the 18th to the 10Th our troops were
without supplies and subslsted on the
rebels. On the 10th the expedition
reached Lagrange with loss of five
hundred men. The rebels lost 24OO
men, including FIVE generals and 1000
prisoners
There is no special news from Gen.
Grants forces.

Peace Negotiations.


The leading topic Of discussion dur
ing the past week, is the Conference
at Niagara between Horace Greeley,
and Messrs. Clay and Holcombe, Of
the Rebel States.
Mr. Greeley was invited to confer
ence by the latter gentIemen-whoa ap-
peared, as they say, not as agents
clothed with power to negotiate for
peace, but as "confidential friends in
the employ of the rebel government
What the real object Of these con
fdential friends" may have been, re-
mains to be yet discovered. They
professed only to desire a tamatar ciot
with the President in behalf Of the
great interests Of Peace What were
the terms or the ground work upon
which they desired to establish Peace,
were not avowed. 1t is to be presum-
ed however. unless all the manifestoes
Of the Rebel leaders have been a lie
they were such as required the recog-
milton Of the Independence CT the So
called confederate States"
Assuming this to be the case, the
President, when applied to for free
conduct to Washington, with great
frankness and fiendliness, set forth
with brevity but great distinctness,
the terms upon which he was willing
to treat-the integrity Of the Union
the abolition Of Slavery, sc.
These terms, well understood and
published to the world, as the platform
Of the government-repeatedly both
by Congress and the Executive-and
therefore not to be ignored by the lat
ter without an abandonment Of its rec
ognized policy-seems to have been
highly offensive to the rebel dignita-
ries, and the negotiations with Mr..
Greeley were summarily closed.
Two things may be assumed as GER
tain-that these gentlemen sought,
first, the Preservation of Slavery. and
second, the recognition Of Confederate
Independence.
We incline to the opinion that the
whole proceeding was Iocofoco trick.
designed to aid the nominee of the
Chicago convention, and that Mr..
Greeley was drawn in to give color to
1t. The bare fact that they acknowl-
edged having no authority from the
rebel government, and that they had
been IN caucus with sundry democrat
ic politicians of the worst stamp, leaves
little doubt on this subject, as Mr..
James r. Gilmore better known as
Edmund Kirke, who lately visited
Richmond with the sanction Of the
President, says in his published letter
that on Sunday a week JEFF Davis used
the following language to him:
''IHis acar must 90 on till the last q oftHis gen.
eratton .taLls IN hjs trucks and lis children
seize his musket and fight or battle. unless
20" acknowledge ar right to self goccrna,ent
We are not fighting for slavery; we are
fighting for Independence, and that or ex-
termination we will have"
This shows what Jefs ideas of peace
are, and also shows what the copper
head sheets mean when they say Pres
ident Lincoln rejects offers Of peace.
