Gen. Noyes il the March to At

lai;ta.
Gen. Noyes received the wound by
which he lost his leg in the pursuit OF
Johnston's army by Sherman TO At
lanta. 4 correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Gazette who WAS with that
Part OF the army in which was Gen.
Moves, division, thus relates the af-
fairs in a letter dated Near Chatta-
hoochee river, July 6, 1864" and
published in the Ga=etts, OF July Q:
There were many brilliant charges
made by our troops in the pursuit OF
the enemy from Marietta 10 Kenesaw
well worthy of a more extended de,
scription than they are likely to re,
ceive. One of these fell beneath my
own notice, and was one of the best
executed movements OF the day.
General Dodge, by the afternoon
Of the 3th, had pressed some two
miles directly upon the enimy's flank,
0hen he suddenly found himself in
front of formidable line of works,
extending away for long distance
upon the right and the left. If this
was the main line of the enemy, it was
folly 10 attempt to carry if, and six
regiments-the 9th 39th and 43d
Ohio, of Veatch's division, and the
3lth Ohio, Goth Illinois and 81
Iowa, of Swecney's division-were
ordered to charge the works, and, if
opportunity afforded, carry them. Ev-
cry one expected to see the enemys'
main line of battle show itself behind
the works, rs Hoods entire
crops was known to be near; but
they aer fortunately, occupiedlbut by
a single brigade. amply sufficient to
have held them had they made sach
4 defense as could have been made.
Our boys swept forward in single
line with terrific yell. and forced
their way over the rebel breastworks
so Suddenly as to capture q large
number of their defenders. The mat
ter was so quickly ended that one
looking on could scarcely compre-
hend tide affair was commenced be
fore it was ended, and yet not until
several angry volleys had been re-
caived by the gallant line pressing 50
swiftly forward and many OF the brave
men brought down.
Among the wounded was Col. e.
L. Noyes, of the 39th Ohio, who had
command of the charging column
from Veatch's front. A braver, truer
officer than Col. Noyes or more ac-
complished gentleman, does not be
long to the almy, and his loss to the
service will be very keenly felt, cs-
pecially in his own division. a.s. s-a
