church has passed, and has yet te pass, she
will finally come forth triumphant. The
sruth, as revealed by Christ, will be be-
lieved and accepted by all nations. The
Bible is revelation of what we were, and

day work, and kept no journal then, so this is
written from memory of what passed before
my eyes. without guessing at what the other
fellows were doing. If all the boys would do
this, and then some painstaking KinElake take
them, sift carefully, and put them together,
we would have a history of the rebellion true
10 life. And now, having said my say, let me
ask few questions.
The First Sergeant, Acting Chief Of Section,
says: "Thcy were aware that n force Of the
rebels had left Atlanta presumably TO operate
around the TANKS Of the Seventeenth Corps"
Gen. Leggett says: I" Late in the afternoon OF
the 2lst Gen. Force called my attention 10 a con-
tinuOus oolumn of troops moving out Of Atlanta
in the direction Of our left j sent back fire.
quent notes Of this movement TO our corps
commander, Gen. Frank i. Blair, aud urged
that my left should be strengthened with addi-
tional troops. In the evening / consulted
freely with Gen. q. A. Smith, "Our division
commander" and we both regarded with con-
siderable anxiety the movements Of the enemy
10 our left. Just before midnight an order was
received from Gen. Mcpherson to strengthen
our works aud be on vigilant watch for an
attack at day break."
Now the question wish TO ask is this: II
this was known at Headquarters, why were we
left in ignorance OF the enemy's movements
Why was One-thirl of our regiment sent of to
dig breast works, whose first notice Of any
movement on our left was when they heard the
firing in camp? And where was our cavalry, that
tho first notice we should receive of the enemy
was from our foragersy And, passing by all OF
these, which are small and trivial, tell me, in
the name Of all the brave who persisted there,
aud OF those who suffered worse than torture IN
Southern prisons, why the Sixteenth Corps in
forming on our left did not close up TO u.s. but
left a wide gap through which the rebel column
passed unnoticed, aud then swung around in
our rear, and into which fatal gap Gen. Nc
Pherson rode 20 his death &C. Il. HULL, Presi-
