during the battle in column, and were deployed under fire to meet the rebel attack. It had already been intimated that Gen. Rosecrans was to assume a momentary defensive attitude. The immense importance of Atlanta, toward which the national forces were steadily pressing would not permit its abandonment without a desperate effort at defence, and here, as so often before the best and perhaps the only sound defence for the rebels consisted in assuming the offensive at once.
