amount to at least four thousand men. The enemy's loss will, I apprehend, not exceed in killed, wounded, and missing, twenty-five hundred, as he fought mostly behind breast-works. A. J. Daugherty. Another account. Resacca, Ga., May 17. The preliminary operations of General Sherman's campaign are already known to the public — the massing of General Thomas' army at Chattanooga; the advance to Ringgold, and the passage of Taylor's Ridge; the march of McPherson from Huntsville, Decatur, and other places, towards the great theatre of operations in North Georgia; the descent of Schofield from East Tennessee to form part of the left of the grand army — all these things are known. Equally well understood are the next series of movements — the march from the eastern foot of Taylor's Ridge to the western base of the Chattanooga Mountain; the occupation of the town of Tunnel by a portion of Palmer's corps; the retreat of the enemy, after some insignificant skirmishing, from t<

Doc. 24. speech of Jefferson Davis: at Macon, Ga., September 23, 1864. Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends, and Fellowcitizens: It would have gladdened my heart to have met you in prosperity instead of adversity. But friends are drawn together in adversity. The son of a Georgian, who fought through the first Revolution, I would be untrue to myself if I should forget the State in her day of peril. What though misfortune has befallen our arms from Decatur to Jonesboro, our cause is not lost. Sherman cannot keep up his long line of communication, and retreat, sooner or later he must; and when that day comes the fate that befell the army of the French Empire in its retreat from Moscow will be reacted. Our cavalry and our people will harass and destroy his army as did the Cossacks that of Napoleon; and the Yankee General, like him, will escape with only a body-guard. How can this be the most speedily effected? By the absentees of Hood's army returning to their posts; and will t

can readily be imagined. one mile North of Decatur, July 19, 1864. After the Twenty-third cor, by the Twenty-third taking the main road to Decatur, and the left a parallel road about five milewhich the rebels had begun to construct, from Decatur to Roswell Factory and Merritt's Paper Mills,, it was intended to push the army through to Decatur that day--nine miles. Still our forces met noee down the road, converging gradually toward Decatur, with the Eighth Missouri and Ninth Illinois e use for them, and a box or two of laces. Decatur is rather a pretty country village, well shades from Roswell, the Sixteenth corps took the Decatur road, the Twenty-third corps moving on a roadtre, by Shoal Creek Church to Couch's, on the Decatur and Fayettville road, and General Schofield, t them moving, passed the Renfro place on the Decatur road, which was the point indicated for him ie railroad at this point, you moved by way of Decatur to the immediate front of the rebel strong.
