Note.-The
Atlanta-
Dalton campaign began on May 7th, and ended on the 1st of September, 1864, and the above reports are exact copies of those made to the
commanding general during its progress, and in the order in which they here appear.
General Johnston commanded from the commencement of the campaign until the 18th of July, when he was relieved from duty, and
General Hood assigned to the command of the army.
Hence the casualties of battle which occurred in the army between the 4th and the 18th of July belong to the period of
General Johnston's command, and are as
[

follows: killed, sixty-seven; wounded, four hundred and fifty-five; total, five hundred and twenty-two.
These figures, added to the total of casualties as reported up to July 4th, viz., killed, twelve hundred and twenty-one, wounded, eight thousand two hundred and twenty-nine, total, nine thousand four hundred and fifty, gives the entire losses (killed and wounded) in battle for the whole army, while under the command of
General Johnston, as follows: viz., killed, twelve hundred and eighty-eight; wounded, eight thousand six hundred and eighty-four; total, nine thousand nine hundred and seventy-two.
A deduction of the same, viz., killed, sixty-seven, wounded, four hundred and fifty-five, total, five hundred and twenty-two, from the total of casualties reported from July 4th to September 1st, viz., killed, eighteen hundred and twenty-three, wounded, ten thousand seven hundred and twenty-three, total, twelve thousand five hundred and forty-six, gives of killed seventeen hundred and fifty-six, wounded, ten thousand two hundred and sixty-seven; total, twelve thousand twenty-three, as the entire losses in killed and wounded during that period of the campaign when the army was commanded by
General Hood, viz., from July 18 to September 1, 1864, when it ended, and the army was then prepared for the campaign into
Tennessee.
