roads prevented. and impatient at the
| delay. Sherman ordered a direct assault.
The assault was to be made in three
columns, each about 5000 strong.
One. under Gen. Morgan L. Smith, OF
the Fifteenth Corps Gogan'sJ, compris-
ing the brigades of Gen. C. A. Smith.
Gen T. A. T. Lightburn, and Gen.
Charles c. Walcutt. the last being Of Gen.
William Harrow's division, was to at
tack the Confederate line on Kenesaw "
Mountain itself, striking II on the south
west slope.
A second, under Gen. John Newton. Of
the Fourth CHoward's) Corps. compris-
Ing the brigades Of Gen. Nathan KimbaII.
Gen. George d. Wagner. and Gen.
Charles G. Harker, was to attack the
Confederate center, on the high land
south of Kenessw.
The third column. under Gen. JEFF c.
Davis, Of the Fourteenth CPalmer's) 81
Corps. comprising the brigade Of Col.
and Gen. James D. Morgan. was to strike
few hundred yards south Of Nevton's
position.
The three main attacks upon the Con-
federate lines were to be supported by a
general demonstration.
At dawn the fighting began with a
reconnaissance in force at the extreme
south Of the Federal line, where the Army
Of the Ohio, under Mai. Gen. John NJ
Schoheld. was stationed This met with
success, but did not cause any troops
TO be withdrawn from the center OF the
Confederate line to REINFORCE those in
Schoheld's front.
Shortly after 8 o'clock. the time set
for the assault, the Federal artillery
opened fire along the nearly ten-mile
battle line. For fifteen minutes the noun
tains were shaken by the thunder Of the,
guns. Then, at the points selected for
attack, the artillery ceased to speak, and
a cloud Of skirmishers pushed their way
through the heavy woods between the
Federal and Confederate works.
The skirmishers were followed by the
attacking forces, which were not long in
coming under the fire Of the massed Con-
federate artillery.
Gen. Smiths division moved rapidly I'D
the slope of Kenesaw, climbing rather
than marching toward the foe. The
ground was strewn with boulders and
tree entanglements. Progress was slow.
The formation OF the columns was
broken. Hundreds Of men fell under the
terrific fire rained upon them. Seven
commanders OF regiments were killed

THE WAR DAY BY DAY
Fifty Years Ago.
1s6Federa Under Gen. W. T. Sherman Attacked Confed
crates Mountain Only Twenty Miles from Atlanta Their
Goal and Were Repused with Heavy Los.

Fifty years ago today the Federals
| under Gen. William T Sherman attacked
the Confederates in their defenses al
Kenesaw Mountain, Ga, and suffered
bloody repulse.
The defeat was a lesson that Gen
Sherman was not to forget. II taught
him the value of patience. In his heart
he had known. even when he ordered
the attack. that there was little chance
OF success Yet he was so impatient to
reach the goal Atlanta, which was only
twenty miles away, that he determined
to take the risk.
The Confederates, commanded by Gen.
Joseph z. Johnston, had in the previous
two months been driven back from Dali
ton, near the Tennessee border, to the
Kenesaw lines, about seventy miles. The
FederaIs outnumbered them. being about
10000 men to 5000. yet the Federal
commander previously had refused to
risk his army in direct assaults. In
stead, he had outfianked the enemy and
forced him to fall back, step by step.
The lines at Kenesaw Mountain were
as strong as any that the Confederates
had previously held. II not stronger. So
Gen. Sherman determined to play his old
game. He attempted to move around
Johnston's left flank. but on June e was
temporarily checked by a clever move
ment Of the Confederates.

kulained that Il was to be a battle scene

il for his private property and personal
exhibition. Mr.. Rogerson said that was
,~sniisright; that he would be glad TO make
the picture, and stated that IL would cost
about 81 500. The man who wanted TO
have the picture made had to be revived
from a faint-then he said that such a
sum was preposterous; that he thought
It would cost about $50 II afterward de-
that he supposed that the sol

Idea however, was no more ridiculous
