engagement, though number of battles
have been fought, with the advantage
largely on our side. We have generally
fought under cover, and have inflicted loss
of at least three to one, but Sherman, nav

Our hope is to reduce his strength before
reaching Atlanta so we can give him battle
with something near an equal force. If we
car do this we feel sure of great victory.

1t is very singular how the fact of a
mans death often seems to give people
a truer idea of his character, whether
for good or for evil, than they have
ever possessed while he was living and
acting among men. Death is so genu-
inc q fact that it excludes falsehood.
or betrays its emptiness; it is a touch
down that proves the gold, and dis
honors the baser metal. Could the
departed, whoever he may be, return
in a week after his decease, he would
almost invariably find himself at a
higher OF a lower point than he has
formerly occupied on the scale OF pub
