It was too late. Though he spiked his guns, and drowned litia of that State--the call, though loud and shrill, awaking but few and faint responses. Now the President called June 15. specifically on the nearest States for militia, as follows: Maryland10,000 Pennsylvania50,000 New York20,000 Ohiown well out on his left flank, watching the passes of the Blue Ridge, Hooker's infantry passed through Dumfries, June 14-15. to Centerville, covering Washington, and watching for fresh developments of the enemy's plans. Meantime, our cavalry, uavalry had raided across the Potomac and Maryland up to Chambersburg, Pa., which they entered, unopposed, at 11 P. M. June 15.

Hincks's black brigade was sent up directly, taking a line of rifle-pits and two guns. But there — though moments were inestimable — Smith paused Grant, in his final, comprehensive repor

He neither spoke nor breathed thereafter. Pushing forward wherever the rugged nature of the ground would permit, with frequent assaults and constant battering and picket-firing, Sherman compelled the enemy to abandon Pine mountain, June 15. and then Lost mountain, June 17. with the long line of strong breastworks connecting the latter with Kenesaw.
