cries of wild beasts. Morgan's men, in
spite of the horrible gaps in their own
ranks. forced their way slowly but sure
ly over the well-manned works. and
presently the excited watchers in the
rear were gratified by seeing a steady
stream of prisoners emerge from the
woods into which Morgans men had
disappeared.
Most of the enemy behind the works
who were not killed were captured.
There was a sad tally list of those who
had fought their last battle, both in
blue and butternut uniforms. The fight
was scarcely ended. when the alarm
came that Lees Corps. which Hood had
unwisely detached, was hurrying up to
take part in the fight. and the weary
soldiers at once began reversing the
works to meet this new danger. Fortu-
nately Lee did not arrive before night
fall. when the attack had become use

Gen. Morgan's Division formed by

MitchelPs and Dilworth's-and these
were ordered to assault with the bayo-
net alone. The division would have
about 1000 yards to go, over cotton
fields cut with bitches and broken in
places by swamps. Gen. Carlin's two
brigades were to move with Morgan,
and in their front there was an addi-
tional obstacle in the shape of a dense
thicket. Baird's Division was held in
reserve, in the rear of Carlin's.
The attack had been heralded and
prepared for by a fierce cannonade from

Gen. Hazen's Report.

Gen. Hazen says of this engagement:
early on the morning of the 31st
Col. Theodore Jones, commanding the
First Brigade, on the left, was directed
to seize and fortify commanding emf
nence about half q mile to the front of
his left. He had just gained it when
the enemy came along also to occupy
it. He held his ground, however. with
a portion of his command, while the
remainder fortified the position. 1t was
found to be of the greatest Importance,
as it overlooked the entire front occu-
pied by the enemy. Columns of rebel
troops were now seen to be extending
to our left, planting artillery and max
ing all dispositions necessary to attack.
AS he extended bey0nd my left, and as
my troops were formed in a light line,
with considerable intervals, brigade

command of Col. George e. Bryant.

Col William B. Woods, 18th Ohio, were
sent to me, and posted where most
needed, where they afterward per-
formed good service. / now had 16
regiments in the line and one in re-
serve. No, point of it could be given up
without epdangering the entire line. AT
D. m. the enemy coDnmenced vigor-
Gus fire of artillery all along his line,
and was soon after seen advancing his
infantry. q We had good works. and the
attack was met with the most perfect
confidence. He, came on in two. full
lines, supported by troops in mass, COM
ing in one place quite inside the works.
and persisted in the attack for about
lthree-quarters of an hour, when he was
completely repulsed at all points, and
these who came too near were captured.
We lost quite heavily in the trenches
before the fight took place, but during
the fight we had but IL killed, So
wounded and two missing. OF the enc
my we buried over 200, captured 80
unhurt and 10 wounded. We also took
two stands of coIors and over 100 stands
of smalI-arms. i have reason to believe
that over 1000 of the enemy We're

Hood was in position to throw MS Whole

every few minutes to Sherman, appris-

Hardee was endeavoring to do his
best to carry out Hoods orders to strike
the army quick and hard and force 1t
back across the Flint River. 1t was 3
O'Clock, however. before he could ad-
vance to the assault. This enveloped
the whole of Logan's front, and extend
ed across the river on Logan's right to
involve one division of Ranso!n's. How
ard saw the direction of the assault,
and sent C.R. Woods Division from
Blair's Corps across to prevent the enc
my from turning Logan's flank, and
getting behind him and the river. The
attack was made with the greatest
fierceness; but, after all, it did not equal
in either energy or weight the previous
assaults of the campaign. The Confed-
crates were evidently discouraged by
the ill-success attending their former
efforts in that direction. The brunt of
the attack was borne by Hazen's Diyi-
sion, which repulsed it without much
difficulty, and there was an entire fail
ure all along the line to pierce the
Union ranks and gain any foothold on
the nights. When the Confederates re-
tired they left over 400 dead behind
them, mostly from Lees Corps.

roast it nicely. He was down on his

mind was running on the fact that we
had cut loose from our base of supplies,
and that 10000 men were then depend

HOward's Advance.
On Aug. 80 Howard, with the Army
of the Tennessee, pushed along the road
from Fairburn toward Jonesboro, meet
ing some small bodies of the enemy's
cavalry, which fought him with much
stubbornness in order to give time for
Hardee to reach Jonesboro and form
for attack on the hills bordering the
Flint River. Sherman had directed that
the right wing should be at Renfroes
told Howard that if he saw a chance of
seizing Jonesboro to do so. At Rem
froe's Howard could find no water for
his men. He heard that the Confeder-
ates were at Jonesboro, but the reports
as to their strength varied from a divi-
sion to a corps. Howard, therefore,
decided to advance to the Flint River
to get water for his men.
The Army of the Tennessee advanced
in two columns, with Logan's Fifteenth
Corps on the left ind Ransom's Six
teenth on the right. Kilpatrick's Cav
airy covered the ADVANCE. The obsti-
nate Confederate cavalry was swept
away. and followed on the gallop to the
