lHt BATTLES AROUND MARIETTA;
PRIZE ESSAY OF GEORGIA DAY FXERCISFS
By Miss Annie Pope Bryan.

Marietta, in which the Confederates
were defeated.
Sharpshooting, skirmishing, and
cannonading occurred daily until the
9th OF June, when Sherman made
desperate attack on Johnston's fortifi-
cations on and around Kennesaw
Mountain. From about $50 cannons
the Federals hurled their shot and
shells on the Confederate positions.
The Confederate batteries planted on
the two crests of Kennesaw, poured
destructive fire on the Federals.
About nine O'Clock the great army
of Gen Sherman numbering about
100, 1000 men, made a desperate assault
on Johnston's entertainments, defend
ed by about half Sherman's numbers,
but at every point he was driven back,
sustaining heavy losses The portion
OF the line south of Kennesaw was
defended by the divisions of Walker,
Cleburne, Bates and Cheatham. The
Federals with more than twice the
numbers of Csnfederates furiously
assaulted their Notifications without
succeeding in driving any portion of
them from their positions.
The greatest carnage of the day was
in front OF Gen. PatCleburne' division.
He ordered his men to reserve their
fire until the enemy were in close
range of their works Then was heard
the command, 'Now, men fire -
Instantly volley of musketry was
poured upon the Federals which
moved down nearly the whole line.
A Federal Colonel vino was in the
charge said that no army on earth
could have withstood the deadly fire
Of the Confederates. In front of Gle
burne's works there were left killed
and wounded ,002 Federals.
After the repulse the attack was re-
newed all along Cheatham's works by
Gen Harker's Corps of Federals
Almost at the parapet Of Chatham S
works Gen. Harker fell MORALLY
wounded, and his line was swept by
the deadly fire of the Confederates.
At several places the Federals pressed
up close to the Confederate works
where some were killed. A Federal
flag bearer planted his colors on the
Confederate works. They were in
stant!y seized by a Confederate Cap
tain who was shot by the color-bearer
but he too fell pierced by several balls
The battle of Kennesaw was victo-
ry for the COnfederates. Their losses
in the several bat les amounted to sos
while the Federal loss was several
thousand. The battle was defeat fol
Sherman and he had to resort to his
usual and only effective tactics fol
forcing Johnston to abandon his
pos tions. This was a flank move
ment.
AS Johnst ms communications
with the city Of Atlanta were threat
ened by this move, he was forced tC
abandon his impregnable positions on
Kennesaw and move farther south in
order to defend Atlanta. On this
march there were several engagements
at Rufus, Smyrna and at the Chatts-
hoochee River.
: But Johnston, by his skill and
wisdom succeeded in crossing the
Chattahoochee without any loss to his
army or baggage wagons

During Gen. Sherman's advance
from Dalton to Atlanta in the summer,
1864, there was continuous fighting
all along the march. Some of the
most desperate and bloodiest battles
of this memorable campaign occurred
near Marietta, in Cobb County and
two adjoining counties.
Three little mountains, near the
city of Marietta, forming triangle,
afforded some of the strongest posi-
tons taken by Gen. Johnston's army
of Confederates These were Kenne-
saw, about two miles northwest OF
Mrrietta; Lost Mountain. about eight
miles west of Kennesaw; and Pine
, Mountain, six miles northwest OF
KennesaW. The intervening country
and the rugged mountain sides were
covered with dense forests.
Gen. Johnston held these positions
during the latter part of the month oil
May, and the first part of June 1864
His army was strongly entrenched
and could not be driven from its po-
sitions by direct attack, although
Sherman made the attempt at several
points and signally failed.
West of Marietta ABOUT ten miles
and four miles from Lost Mountain on
the 25th of May, occurred the battle o.
New Hope Church, between Hooker's
Corps of Federals and Stewards Di.
vision OF COnfederates. In this bat
tie the Federals we're repulsed with
great losses. On the 26th of May
near the same place, occurred battle
between AverY's regiment of Georgia
cavalry and large force of Fedora
cavalry in which, although greatly
outnumbered. and Col. Avery himsel
being badly wounded, the Confeder
ates held their position until rein
forcements arrived.
On the next day, May 9th, in the
same neighborhood, occurred battle
at Pickett's Mill between Cleburne'i
division of Confederates and Genera
Howard's Corps of Federals. In thii
battle the Federals were defeated will
heavy losses.
Gen Johnston held possession o
Lost and Pine Mountains after thes
battles until about the middle Q
June, when he abandoned them ant
concentrated his forces on and aroun(
Kennesaw Mountain. Gen. Sherman
by reason OF his greater number 0
troops, almost doubling Gen. John

cd to less than one-half the usual

norton in the high school grades.
The grand parade OF more than six
hundred children on the school
Grounds and the tree planting exer-
o;ses had to be abandoned on account
Of the weather.
In the grammar and primary grades
Joint programs were rendered, two or
more grades consolidating in one room
for the occasion. This was necessary
IN account of the large number of
absentees.
In spite of the icy precipitation and
slushy streets, quite number of
friends and patrons were present.
With more favorable weather the num-
Der attending the various exercises
would have been very large.

the historian. After the awarding of
the medal, Mrs. Graham read letter

sentative of the D. A. r. presented the

Cyrus Garnsey, general manager of the Galloway Coal company. said that shortage in equipment had been se- rious here for several weeks, but that he believed the situation in Birming- ham would be relieved in time to pro- vide an abundant supply of domestic coal here and that there would be no famine.
 Hammond Byrd company gave it out that plenty of coal was available but that some railroads were behind in cars and probably that had something to do with the scare among the re- tall coal dealers. Erskine Ramsay of the Pratt Consolidated Coal company said he felt sure the acute stage or the car shortage had been passed ana that every coal dealer here would be cared for adequately by the operators.
 Although optimistic expressions were heard among the operators the serious ness of the coal shortage coupled with the car shortage is causing the mosr intsnse interest and speculation among domestic coal dealers.

OF DOMESTIC
 COAL MAY GROW SERIOUS

Is Birmingham facing a coal famine7
 That is a question that is causing considerable worry among domestic coal dealers who have run short Of supply during the past few days. The heavy contracts for coal which have been taken here recently are said to -have resulted in the local dealers be- ing neglected. which has brought on a serious situation.
 The cold weather and the thrush Of orders constitute causes which have added to the worry of the dealers for several days and prices have jumped accordingly.
 Inquiries among coal brokers yester- day brought out the fact that the se- rious car shortage had worked against them in deliveries of domestic orders and that consequently many dealers were running short of supply It was stated that the situation was clearing up some and 1t was hoped that condi- tions would be better very soon.
