Army of the Cumberland. This was to
begin by an attack on Newton's Dfvi-
sions of the Fourth Corps. isolated from
the rest at Golfers Bridge.
On the morning of July 20 Stewart,
with his corps, was holding the extreme
left of Hoods line, with Hardee in the
center and Cheatham and Smith on the
extreme right Thomas was pushing
the heads of his columns cautiously and
steadily forward. keeping them as much
as possible within touch of one another.
Each of the divisions was moving in
the formation of two brigades at the
front and one in reserve. Besides these
divisions, 10 brigades had been sent
across Peachtree Creek to facilitate
nnanuvers, but necessarily had to go
from one part of the Union line to an
other, involving recrossing the bridge
and making wide circuit, whereas the
enemy in front had a far easier and
shorter line of communication between
their various parts.
The Attack on Newton.
Gen. Newton, with one division of
the Fourth Corps, after crossing at
Golfers Mill, had pushed forward to-
ward the crossroad, with his left flank
reaching toward Clear Creek. Newton,
an engineer officer, was ever cautious,
and had, by temporary halt, covered
his front with barricades of various
kinds. He had one battery on the road
in his center and another in reserve

The Attack ON Geary.
Ths tide Of battle now rolled over to
the left across Shoal Creek and upon
Geary's Division. Geary's left was on
open ground, covered by ravine lead
ing down to Saoal Creek. There he put
Candy's Brigade and the artillery of
the division. Jones's Brigade was on
Candy's right, with q heavily-wooded
country before 1t, and Ireland's Brigade
was in the rear of Jones. Geary's men
had time to put up slight barricade.
The enemy tried to interpose between
Wards right and Geary's left, but there
they came into contact with Geary's
batteries. as well as the still more de-
structive infantry fire both in front and
in flank.
Tho the fight lasted only a shcrt time,
the slaughter was unusually heavy even
for that later and harder fighting period
of the war. A portion of the battle
reached the extreme right OF Palmer's
Corps, with the brigade of Anson Nc
Cook being sharply engaged and losing
quite severely. The rest of the Four

the Union soldiers would receive these

worst effect was to shake the confidence
