from Stone Mountain, and seven miles east of Decatur, and there he turned toward Atlanta, breaking as he progressed, his advance-guard reaching Decatur about night, where he came into communicationth Schofield's troops, which had also reached Decatur. About 10 A. M. of that day (July 18th), wherson was moving astride of the railroad, near Decatur; Schofield along a road leading toward Atlantd then we heard an occasional gun back toward Decatur. I asked him what it meant. We took my pockhe Tennessee; that I would personally look to Decatur and to the safety of his rear, and would reenon of Atlanta. Meantime, Colonel Sprague, in Decatur, had got his teams harnessed up, and safely c as described, one of Schofield's brigades to Decatur, because I knew that the attacking force coulnemy's cavalry got well to our rear, and into Decatur, and for some hours our left flank was compleon-bridge; and to our left rear, at and about Decatur, were the two cavalry divisions of Stoneman, [11 more...]

ection, I resolved not to attempt at that time a further pursuit of Hood's army, but slowly and deliberately to move back, occupy Atlanta, enjoy a short period of rest, and to think well over the next step required in the progress of events. Orders for this movement were made on the 5th September, and three days were given for each army to reach the place assigned it, viz.: the Army of the Cumberland in and about Atlanta; the Army of the Tennessee at East Point; and the Army of the Ohio at Decatur. Personally I rode back to Jonesboroa on the 6th, and there inspected the rebel hospital, full of wounded officers and men left by Hardee in his retreat. The next night we stopped at Rough and Ready, and on the 8th of September we rode into Atlanta, then occupied by the Twentieth Corps (General Slocum). In the Court-House Square was encamped a brigade, embracing the Massachusetts Second and Thirty-third Regiments, which had two of the finest bands of the army, and their music was to us

see River at Bainbridge; and things looked as though we were to have a period of repose. One day, two citizens, Messrs. Hill and Foster, came into our lines at Decatur, and were sent to my headquarters. They represented themselves as former members of Congress, and particular friends of my brother John Sherman; that Mr. Hill hauct of the War, is full on all these points. After striking our road at Dalton, Hood was compelled to go on to Chattanooga and Bridgeport, or to pass around by Decatur and abandon altogether his attempt to make us let go our hold of Atlanta by attacking our communications. It was clear to me that he had no intention to meet us vance columns are now at Alpine and Melville Post-Office. I shall pursue him as far as Gaylesville. The enemy will not venture toward Tennessee except around by Decatur. I propose to send the Fourth Corps back to General Thomas, and leave him, with that corps, the garrisons, and new troops, to defend the line of the Tennessee Ri

heast toward Jonesboroa, and General Slocum with the Twentieth Corps leading off to the east by Decatur and Stone Mountain, toward Madison. These were divergent lines, designed to threaten both Macos till we had reached Savannah. About 7 A. M. of November 16th we rode out of Atlanta by the Decatur road, filled by the marching troops and wagons of the Fourteenth Corps; and reaching the hill, rate with you. Thomas has got back into the defenses of Nashville, with Hood close upon him. Decatur has been abandoned, and so have all the roads, except the main one leading to Chattanooga. Parg and discomfiting him, surpasses my understanding. Indeed, I do not approve of his evacuating Decatur, but think he should have assumed the offensive against Hood from Pulaski, in the direction of y of the world. The armies serving in Georgia and Tennessee, as well as the local garrisons of Decatur, Bridgeport, Chattanooga, and Murfreesboroa, are alike entitled to the common honors, and each
