For the first time since hive been IN the

where In Missouri and Arkansas hnve followed
the bloody footsteps Of war, I have felt, In
passing through Kentucky and Tennessee that
the war sat comparatively light on those CON-
munities. But when one approaches Chatta-
nooga from the West, or again nears 1t on the
East, the whole facc Of afiairs changes for the
worse. On entering Northern Georgia 1t Is
much worec. Destruction Is the rule to
which no exception exists. Tho towns arc

dust This comes like death knell TO our
censorious critic, who whines over conquered
treason, when it can be accomplished with
out resorting to "a couple more drafts.
Whothat for the ;ast four years has pc
rused the columns ofthe fonete, stained as

he can discern disguised sympathy for those
enemies fthe human race, who have been
plotting the destruction of our fair fabric of
Freedom. We would advise our friends to
preserve few copies of this base copper
head sheet, which in after times viii serve
as relic of the disloyal literature that a lib
eral administration permitted to circulate
among loyal population and exert its bane-
full influence in poisoning the minds of our
youth.
But the days Of its influence like the par.
ty it itrepresents, will soon pass away and no
longer will the unsuspecting people listen to
its cowardly appeals TO resistance, nor viii
they be willing to confide in the unscrupu-
lous leaders whose interests it represents.
A brighter day is not only coming for the
people Of our common country but better
day is coming for the misguided men who
have hitherto acted with the once great
Democratic party. When that day comes,
these foes of Freedom, and enemies to our
government win sink into that political OBJ
livion which their actions SO richly deserve.

The above piece of stupid nonsense is
nothing more than the emanation of des-

sinking hopes of desponding rebels in om

heroic valor of our noble soldiers and the
hard earned and blood bought victories
which we have obtained over the foe, could
come from none but Shiny traitor, whose

surprised that the editor of the Gazette, the

make such dolt of himself, as to allow
some anonymous scribbler to disgrace the
columns of his paper, and insult the good

AT daylight this forenoon moved the I'd,
25th and 6th army Corps along the railroad
in the direction of Amelia Court House
Soon after moving reliable intelligence was
received that the enemy was moving towards
Farmyille. The direction of the I'd and 25th
corps was Immediately changed from north
erly to q northwest direction, and the direc-
ting corps (the 2dl moved on Deatonvillo,
and the 9th heretofore In the centre) moved
on the right of the I'd and 9th, facing about
and moving by the left flank and taking po-
sltlon on the left of the I'd. 1t was under
stood the cavalry was on the extreme left.
The changes were promptly made-the I'd
army corps soon becoming engaged with the
enemy near Deatonyille, driving him by the
right across Sailor Greek to the Appomat-
tox. The 9th army corps made long
march, but Its position prevented Its strik-
ing the enemy S column before it had passed
The 9th corps came up with the enemy
about P. NJ, and in conjunction with the
I'd, on the right, and the cavalry on the left,
attacked and routed the enemy, capturing
many prisoners among them Gen. Ewell
and Gen. Gusts Lee
transmit dispatches from Generals Hum
phrey and Wright, which, in justice to these

1t is impossible now to give any estimate
of the casualties on either side, or of the
number of prisoners taken, but it is evident
to-day work is going to be one of the most
important of the receAt brilliant operations
The pursuit will be continued as soon as
the men get little rest. Griffin, with the
5th corps, win be moved by the left, and
Wright and Humphreys win continue the
direct pursuit as long as it promises success.

win inform you that there was
a great battle fought on Sunday the End inst.
! know that the news of the 6ght has reached
Bedford ere this, but in order to relieve those
that have friends in the army and who are
anxious to hear how things went, will give
you a brief account oft.
On Saturday evening the orders came to
pack up and be ready to move, which was
done in short time. At dark we were or
deyed to move in front of the works, and at
seven o'clock, the artillery opened all along
the line, from City Point to the extreme left.
The roar of the guns was almost deafning, and
the earth appeared to rock beneath our feet.
This terrible cannonade was kept up till a.
bout twelve or one o'clock, when it died
away all along the lines. The troops we're
all massed along the front in three lines of
battle, and lay in this position till four o clock
when the signal gun was fired to make the at
tack. At this moment every man sprang to
his feet, ana the order, forward, sped
along the lines as quick as lightning. A yell
was given, and the troops dashed forward
like tigers, upon the rebel works. The lines
were first pierced by our division, and the
second division of our Corps, and in less than
ten minutes the entire Corps was through the
rebel lines, and swung around on their flank.
By this time it was daylight and the Sixth
Corps charged sweeping everything before it.
The rebel column became panic stricken and
complete stampede ensued.
Our troops are almost wild with enthusiasm
and the greatest JOY prevails throughout the
army. Butwhile we rejoice over our victories
we lament the loss ofour brave companions
who have fallen in battle. Our loss is very
slight. had no men killed, and only two
wounded. Sergt. Slack was wounded slight
