advanced first against our right wing, about 10 o'clock, where he encountered that superb soldier, Lieut. General Hardee, who commanded on the right, whilst Major General Breckenridge commanded on the left. Hardee's command embraced Cleburne's, Walker's, (commanded by Gen. Gist, Gen. Walker being absent,) Cheatham's, and Stevenson's divisions. Breckinridge's embraced his old division, commanded by Brig. Gen. Lewis, Stewart's, part of Buckner's, and Hindman's, commanded by Patton Anderson. ThGen. Walker being absent,) Cheatham's, and Stevenson's divisions. Breckinridge's embraced his old division, commanded by Brig. Gen. Lewis, Stewart's, part of Buckner's, and Hindman's, commanded by Patton Anderson. The enemy's first assault upon Hardee was repulsed with great slaughter, as was his second, though made with double lines, supported with heavy reserves. The wave of battle, like the wave of the sea when it dashes against a rock bound coast, beat and hissed, and struggled in vain; for the brave men who guarded our right were resolved never to yield one foot to the hated invaders. The side against which they contended were fearful; for while the enemy advanced in two and even three massive lines

It may be that the messages have not reached you in due season, as it is reported the wires are down at several places between Dalton and Atlanta. But Maj. Tilton, the excellent Quartermaster of Walker's divison, has just informed me that he has orders to put his train in motion on the road to Reseca, and as he has been kind enough to give me transportation for my blankets and valise, I must stop short with my letter here, with the remark that his sudden and unexpected order is an illustration of the difficulties which beset an army chronicler who remains with the troops, and sees and judges for himself. It is now seven o'clock, and night is upon us; so, with a mouthful of half-cooked bee

et them fall into the hands of our enemies. Gen. Gist was repeatedly pressed back against the wagons, but he managed finally, with the aid of his brave command, (Walker's division,) to save them all. At one time the enemy got in between him and the main column, but he took a neighborhood road and thus escaped destruction. Unfortunately Ferguson's battery of four guns, belonging to Walker's division, was captured. The horses were in very had condition and unable to keep up with the column, and hence the disaster. The greater part of the men and horses escaped. You will be astonished to hear that the horses in the artillery service — the most important reds of wagons and thousands of men were marching by within a few paces of where it rested. Cleburne was entrusted with the command of the rear guard to-day, Walker's division having been relieved. The Federal pursuing column, numbering, it is estimated, about 10,000 men of all arms, assaulted him before he reached Tunnel Hi
