in open field. Even when virtually
surrounded he still chung to the citadel.
BY the end of August, 1864, Sherman
had fought his way step by step to the
very gates of Atlanta. He did not at
tempt to take the works by storm, but
established the Twentieth corps under
General III. w. Slocum in trenches
which he had builr in front of the city
and launched forth with the main part
of his army to cut communications Of
Lie @<~A-
1t was said that Hood believed that
Sherman's supplies were exhausted
and that the Federal army was at the
point Of abandoning the siege. From
this dream he was suddenly awakened
by the appearance of an immense army
of foes southwest Of Atlanta, close to
the railroads from the south which
brought supplies to bis camps. Still
determined to fight to the last, he dis
patched General Hardee with his own
corps and that led by General S. ID.
Lee to defend the railroads and remain
ed in the Atlanta trenches with the
rest Of his force.
The march of Hardee's column south
ward was led by the intrepid General
Patrick Cleburne, called the "Stone-
wall of the West" who could always
find an enemy and stir up a fight, even
though the chances were against him.
Cleburne struck out for the extreme
flank of Sherman's moving column, in
tending to march till he reached it,
then double 1t up by a vigorous at
tack. like his prototype at Chancellors-
vile. He had the Federal victim of
charlottesville, General o. o. How
ard. to deal with, but Howard was
alert and had already seized the road
ahead of CIeburne.

Hardee's Line Attacks Logan.

1t was an accident which took How
ard so far south that Cleburne was
headed off and the Confederate plan Of
campaign changed. Howard discovered
that there was no water at the place
where Sherman had ordered him to
halt and pushed on to Flint river.
There he intrenched a position, having
learned that the enemy was In force at
.Jonesboro, a point near by and only
fifteen miles from Atlanta, with rail
communications still open.
During the night Howard heard the
trains moving southwark from Atlanta
and sent word to Sherman, who was
following in his wake with the Army
of the Cumberland, under sturdy Gen
eral George H. Thomas, that the en-
envy was not to be caught mapping.
The Fifteenth corps, under General J..
A. Logan, was in line along Towards
front and was soon pounced upon by
the indomitable Hardee. The Confed-
crates did not fight with their old time
vigor, and Logan held his ground.
Meanwhile the restless Cleburne came
laundering along in Towards rear,
making a two sided fight of 1t.
But Howard was not alone in his
wrestle with Hardee. General ]. M.
Schofeld's Federal corps, having taken
a wider sweep to the west than How
ard. came In between Jonesboro and
Atlanta and cut the railroad, heading
Off a train which sped back to Atlanta
with the news that Sherman's army
was marching on the city from the
south. Hood attempted to recall Lees
corps from Hardee's line at Jonesboro
TO defend Atlanta, but it was too late.
Sherman ordered Slocum to push things

Hood Abandons Atlanta.

When news reached Hood in Atlanta
of the doings of Sherman at J~onesboro
he knew that the Federals were nei-
Their hard up for ~rations, as originally
supposed, nor moving north to inclose
the city. Two corps of troops remained
with him there, and these he set in
motion the night of Sept. 1 to pass
around Sherman's flank and join Har-
dee and Lee, ten miles southeast of
Jonesboro. Hardee at the same time
withdrew from the lines SO bravely de
Tended by Cleburpe.
About midnight of the 1st the Fed
erals in Slocum's camps on the north
side of Atlauta heard explosions In
the direction of the city, and at day
light couriera brought word to head
quarters thai the place had been aban-
doned and the military stores destroy
ed by powder and flames. Slocum ap-
peared before the city early on the I'd
of September and received its surren-

The Confederates were highly elated

that Hood had ent word to Hardee 70

help wonld place Hardee at the mercy
of his army. Sherman determined to
close in and capture Jonesboro, Har-
dee and all.
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1914-09-25

When Hardee took up his position at
Jonesboro he expected to deal only
with Towards column, coming against
him from the West. The right or
northern flank of his line was held by
Cleburne's division, and this flank was
struck by Thomas advance corps I'M
der General Jeff C. Davis. Three d.
visions of Davis column formed in
front of Cleburne. and the brigade of
United States regulars, led by Colonel
]. r. Edie, sailed out to reeonnoiter
and see what Cleburne had in front.
Driving the men in gray from a ridge
they occupied as an outpost after a
brisk skirmish, Edie planted his flag
and discovered that his line extended
beyond the salient angle of the enemy,
the key to the position. Two divisions
of Davis corps rallied around Edie and
a battery was hauled up to the ridge
which enfiladed part of Cleburne's line
and disabled a number of the Confed-
crate guns.
Finally all was ready for an assault,
Sherman being on the ground and i'm
patient of delay. The divisions of
General w. p. Carlin and General j.
D. Morgan charged forward in two
lines, Edie's regulars having the lead
and carrying the enemy's salient at
the first rush. )

Battle at the Salient.

The point in dispute was only a
trifing height, defended by three worn
down brigades of T-ennesseeans, u
the fate Of Hardee's line at Jones'
boro was at stake and after that the
fate of Hood at Atlanta. Ii J~onesboro
fell the whole Confederate rear lay
at the mercy of Sherman, and Atlanta
could not be held. While the regulars
were heroically fighting to break
through the salient Thomas had been
away hurrying up another division to
support the attack. He reached the
front at 8 o'clock, and Colonel G. r.
Estes volunteer brigade moved slowly
through the tangled underground to
the field in front of the works, where
Edie had fought SO well, only to be
driven out. Estes men were not be-
hind Edie's In courage and dash and
took the salient in a few minutes,
losing one-third of their number, but
holding on to the prize. In the Thirty
eighth Ohio $50 men fell. the highest
loss of the day.
While Estes chung to the salient the
companion brigades of Carlin's division
swept in from the left and Morgan's di-
vision from the right, completely envel-
oping the angle which had cost so
much brave blood. Cleburne's advance
brigade was captured almost entire,
with its leader, General d. G. Govan,
and two batteries of artillery. After
the loss of.the saliept Clabnrne drew
back his two brigades under General
j. H. Lewis and General II. B. Gran
berry, forming a new salient, and stood
ready for another assault, but dark
ness ended the conflict and the fighting
for Atlanta.
