nabled to hold a part of the hills.
In this attack General Carse was wounded quite severely in the thigh.--The 37th Ohio and 6th Iowa and 103d Illinois regiments were in the attack.
A second assault was made at 1½ o'clock, in which Mathias's, Loomis's, and Raul's brigades were engaged.
The force reached within twenty yards of the summit of the hill and the works of the enemy, when they were flanked and broke, retiring to their reserves.
In this assault Gen. Mathias was wounded and Col. Putnam, of the 93d Ohio, killed.
Their persistent efforts compelled the enemy to mass heavily on his right in order to hold the position of so much importance to him. About 9 o'clock Gen. Grant started two columns against the weakened centre, and in an hour's desperate fighting succeeded in breaking the centre and gaining possession of the ridge in which the enemy was posted; the main force was driven northward toward General Sherman, who opened on them, and they were forced to break and seek s
e enemy's much larger.
The army's movements now going on are not for the public at present.

ere men are kind to each other — where men love each other — where men are thankful and honest to each other.
I don't want to go into a country where men make Hobby Horses out of Abolitionism and Neal Dowism to ride into office on.
I want to go into a country where men feel as men felt about the time that Jefferson, Madison, Washington, Adams and others when they signed the Constitution of the United States.
I want to go into some country where men feel as men felt about the time that Putnam, Warren, Washington and Stark signed the Declaration of Independence.
I should love to go to some country and live with men that feel as the old honest hearted soldier felt in the time of the American Revolution.
I should love to go and live with them by day, and go and sleep with them in their tents by night.
I should love to stand up with them shoulder to shoulder on the battle ground.
I love the honest hearted soldiers.
I remember what they have done for us. I remember them with resp
the periods of peace.
With a pure and patriotic desire to serve the best interests of the country, and in the belief that they will be best served by a postponement of a political convention to the latest day possible, we respectfully ask that you will reconsider your action, and name a day for the assembling of the National Convention not earlier than the first day of September next.
Respectfully, your obedient servants, W C Bryant, Wm K Strong, J McKaye. Wm Curtis Noyes, Geo P Putnam, Lorenzo Sherwood,

With lightning speed the Virginians and Georgians, moving by the left flank, came to the rescue, under the lead of their gallant commander, who, be it known, was utterly unacquainted with the configuration of the lines or the nature of the ground.
Barely had Gen. M. placed his old brigade in position when the Yankee hordes, with a fresh yell, bounded for ward.
Mahone's men, like Putnam's at Bunker Hill, reserved their fire until they saw the whites of their adversary's eyes — not a difficult matter since many of the combatants were contraband of sooty hue. At the word fire the Yankees would stagger and begin to fire back.
The order to charge is given, and the men dash forward and the Yankees give back in their sui generis rabid style into and beyond the line of breastworks.
