Loomis, Francis B. 1861- Diplomatist; born in Marietta, O., July 27, 1861; graduated at Marietta College in 1883; entered journalism on the New York Tribune; was State librarian of Ohio in 1886-90; United States consul at Etienne, France, in 1890-93; and editor-in-chief of the Cincinnati Daily Tribune in 1893-97. In the latter year he was appointed United States minister to Venezuela, where he negotiated an extradition treaty, and arranged for reciprocity and parcels-post conventions.

Having gained the second crest from his point of departure, Corse, in moving forward, had a severe hand-to-hand struggle for an hour, but could not carry the works, nor could the Confederates repulse him. At the same time, Gen. Morgan L. Smith and Colonel Loomis were advancing on both sides of the ridge, fighting their way to the Confederate flanks. Up to 3 P. M. Sherman had not been able to gain much advantage. General Grant, from his post on Orchard Knob, had been watching all these movements. Early in the afternoon he ordered General Thomas to advance with the National centre. The divisions of Wood, Baird, Sheridan, and Johnson moved steadily forward. They created such a panic among the occupants of the riflepits at the base of the ridg
