years ago today the Federals were NOV

Plished on July ;. and in the night the
enemy were to again retreat, this time to
. strong position on the north bank of
the ChattahOochee River. ten miles south
uf Marietta and only seven miles from
Atlanta.
The losses OF the opposing armies in
the fighting of June had been approxi-

Marietta in civil war days was one Of
the prettiest towns in the northwestern
section of Georgia. II had a population
Of about 500 and hoasted a number of
pretentious public buildings The mill
tary academy. a fine old structure on an
elevation overlooking the town, the hotel.
the courthouse and several churches, all
were large buildings surrounded Dy
grounds well laid out.
As a young officer in the army Sher-
man had visited the town twenty years
b-fOre. He had resided at the old tavern
for about six weeks, taking the deposi-
tions Of residepts who claimed losses At
the hands Of the Indians, as a result OF
lack of protection by the Federal gov
ernment At that time Sherman had
taken great delight in long rides about
the neighbOring countryside. He had
climbed to summit OF Kenesaw Noun
tain, and had penetrated the heart of
The great forests that surrounded the
town. He noted that a great change
had taken place in the town. and paused
memories the spot brought back TO him.
But he was too busy with the future to
dwell long on the past. The hardest part
Of his campaign lay ahead. South of
Marietta, between II and Atlanta, the
country was even wilder than that
through which the army had passed. 1t
was not so mountainous. but the woods
were more tangled. the roads more mar
row and tortuous and the valleys more
spsrsely populated.
The Chattahoochee River was wide and
deep, a strong natural defense for At

Fifty years ago today the officers and
men Of Gen. Sherman's army in Georgia
celebrated the retreat Of the Confederates
the day before from the lines at Kene-
saw Mountain and Marietta
The occasion was one well worth the
jubflation II called forth. for the position
which the army Of Gen. Joseph f. John
ston had been forced to evacuate was
the strongest that the Federals had con-
fronted since the opening Of the cam
paign, two months before.
In those two months the Confederates
had been driven back fully seventy miles
from Dalton. thirty miles south of Chat
tanooga, where they first had made a
stand. The tactics used by both sides
were admirable, but Gen. Sherman's su-
perior strategy and his great advantage
in point of Misunderstanding about 10000
men to Gen. JohnstOn's 6I,00o-had Gradu-
ally pressed the Confederates to the rear.
Atlanta, the objective of the campaign,
now was less than twenty miles away
Gen. Sherman and many of his leading
officers took Fourth of July dinner in the
picturesque little town Of Marietta, for
the possession OF which they had striven
for nearly three weeks.
Atlanta NeRr at Hand.
Gen. Johnston. a master at defensive
warfare. had contested the Federal ad-
vance from June Il to the 9th. with his
army along the heights Of Kenesaw
Mountain. just north OF Marietta On
June q Gen. Sherman attacked him, but
was repulsed with heavy loss. The re-
pulse showed the Federal leader the
futiIity of assaulting the Confederate
lines and led him to resume flanking
movement which previously had been un-
der way.
The movement had been discontinued
few days before the attack because OF
the condition of the country. which had
been soaked with heavy rains for fort
night. BY June 2S the roads were fairly
firm, and Gen. Sherman had pushed his
army southwest of Marietta until he
threatened to cut of the Confederate line
Of retreat.
Early in the morning Of July Sherman.
as was his wont each day. carefully
scanned the country before him with the
sid of a glass. He saw his outlying pick
cts and skirmishers moving toward the
Confederate earthvorks, but there was
no firing Finally he observed that his
men had entered the enemy's works.
Then a message telling OF the retreat Of
the Confederates was wigwagged to him
