mented, his loss will not seriously disturb the morale of his army. The fact is the General was not very popular. The successor of General Polk will be either Gen. Loring or General French. The former, I understand, is the senior, and choice of the two.

ected attack had come, and our men sprang to the works with alacrity; but the skirmishers, who had been heavily reinforced in anticipation of the attack, were fully equal to the emergency, and drove them back in confusion and disorder, and thus prevented them from advancing their works. Our loss among general officers lately-has been quite large, and among them are General who lost a leg; General Strahl, slightly wounded in the foot; Lieutenant- General Stewart, in the head; and Major-General Loring, slightly in the breast. All of these have been compelled to go to the rear, which leaves a number of vacancies, which have been partially filled as follows: Major-General being in command of Stewart's corps, and Major-General Patton Anderson, lately in command it. Florida, of Hindman's division, he being still absent on account of injuries received by a fall from his horse.

e seemed personally interested in the projected movement. For a week previous, "grape-vine" messages had been constantly received that the Army of Tennessee was on its way to the enemy's rear, and now, when these messages seemed to be, in a measure, confirmed, every one was wild with excitement. Time wore painfully away until 10 o'clock A. M. of the 29th, when the joyous words "fall in" were heard along the lines; and the men sprang with alacrity to their places. Stewart's corps, with Loring in front, Walthall in the centre, and French in the rear, marched to the Chattahoochee river and crossed at Pumpkintown. The crossing of the corps was a grand sight. From the lofty hills which crown either side of the river, the long serpentine line of glittering arms and bristling bayonets glistened in the rays of the declining sun; and as the pontoons at so great a distance were invisible, it seemed as if the men were walking on the water. The ladies from the south side had congregated

t of the enemy there the day before: "The fight yesterday was successful. I was on the right, and saw Bate's and Cleburne's divisions charge and carry two lines of breastworks, driving the enemy two miles.
