Twenty-five years ago this J uuo Sherman
gathered his army about Big Shanty after
the New Hope Church battles. J ohnston’s
position was about the railroad, south of Big
Shanty and north. of Marietta. Konesaw
Mountain was at his right, Pine Mountain in
the center, and Lost Mountain at his left.
The whole Confederatelino ran from Brush
mountain, on the right, to Lost Mountain, on
left and west. Pine Mountain, also called
“Pine pr,” was far in front of Kenesaw
and Lost Mountain, forming with them the
apex of a triangle.
Kenesaw had two peeks with a notch be-
tween. A mile northeast of Ksnesaw was
Brush Mountain, the peak against which
Johnston‘s extreme right lay. The Confed-
erate lines covered Marietta, the railrond'and
the country as far as the Chattahoochee river
on the southmt. The mountains here were
sharply defined.
At Ackworth, June 8, Gen. Blair joined
Shaman with two divisions, 10,000 men. .
They belonged to the Seventeenth corps.g
Long's brigade of cavalry also arrived. ,
This and Blair‘h two divisions had been ob-
sent on furlough. .
Sherman had now an army of 112,000 men;
Johnston had 48,010. Johnston‘s lines cov-
ered fully two from Kenesaw and
Brush Mountain on the mat to Lost Moun-
tain on the west. 0!) the peakswithin this
range Johnston had his signal stations. Sher-
man reports: “The summits were covered
with batteries and the spurs were alive with
men, busy in felling trees, digging pits and
preparing for the grand struggle impending.”
In moving to Allaioona and Ackworth
Sherman‘s amiss had changed position.
McPherson now held the left, east of the rail-
road, while Schoficld, far to the right, faced
Lost Mountain, and Thomas, with the army
of the center, was opposite Kcnmw and
Pine Top.
Sherman decided that the Confederate line
had been stretched to a distance greater east
and west than Johnston could hold, and de-
termined therefore to attempt to break the
Confederate line between Pine Top and Keno
saw. Gerrard‘s cavalry was on the Union
left and Stoneman's on the right.
J line 11, Sherman ordered his force to con-
centrate between Pine Top and Kenesaw.
Hitherto, in ad-
vancing from Dal-
ton to Resaca and
thence to Allatoona
Pass, he had do-
pended chiefly on
ii a n k i n g move-
ments to accom-
plish his object.
In front of Pine
Top and Kcncsal
Hacker's corps was
to the left of How-
ard, towards the
railroad. Now he steadily drew
his armies
. together for the attack 'in front. McPherson
moved down and towards the center till he
was near Brush Mountain. Thomas‘ corps
advanced till thegcwero within half a mile of
Pine Top, while hofield, closing in on the
wait, approached close to Gilgal Church,
where the left of Hardec‘s corps was.
Bate‘s Confederate division occu led the
summit of Pine Mountain itself. us Top
was the most exposed portion of the Con-
federate line, and here, by direction of Sher-
man, Gen. Howard opened fire from his bat-
teries June 14.
PINE TOP, JUNE 14.
At Pine Top, one of the most esteemed of
the Confederate corps commanders, Bishop
Leonidas Polk, lost his life, J unc 14. .
In the evening, June 18, Con. Harden ex-
pressed his fears to Johnston that Batcs' di-
vision on Pine Top was too. far from the line
of the rest of Hardee’s corps for safety. He
asked the commandcrdn—chief to visit Pine
Top in person and am if this were not so.
Johnson agreed to do so next morning,
June 14.
The inspection was made, Lieut. Gen. Polk
accompanying Johnston and Hardec. The
generals decided that the situation was too
exposed for Bate’s division, and that Pine 'Ilop
should be abandoned. Then they turned about
to leave the hill. Just behind them a. party
of Confederate soldiers had gathered outof
curiosity.
The guns from Howard‘s corps were trained
upon the plrty of soldiers. A shot struck
Polk in the left arm, passed through his chest
from left to right, and carried away his ri ht
arm. He fell cad. His remains were on
to Atlanta, where funeral services were held
next day.
Maj. Gen. W. W. Loving took command
tomporarii ‘of Polk's corps. Pine Mountain
was aban nod by the Confederates during
the night of June 15, and Data‘s division
placed as a reserve. "
The Union troops steadily advanced, took
possession of Pine Top, and moved onward.
Johnston had here formed a newline. Scho-
fiold, moving rapidly, broke through the Con-
federate cavalry between Lost Mountain and
Gilgal Church, and established hisai'tillery
upon a hill. There he was able to fire rapidly
. uponHardoe'srear.
The same day, J uno

the Union left,oom-
ing against Hood‘s
corps, captured an

Lost Mountain altogether, and drew his forces
more compactly together. His right lay
against Kenesaw, as before.
The Union troops fol .- wed rapidly u to
Johnston’s new line. It made an angle w ere
Hardee’s corps, on the new line, joined Lor-
ing’s on the old line. This subjected the Con-
federates to a. gelling enflladlng fire.
J uno 17, Baird‘s division and Barker’s
brigade of Union troops distinguished them-
selves gallantly. Baird put forward a heavy
skirmish line, which kept the Confederates
behind the intrenchments hotly occupied.
While Baird's skirmish line held its ground in
front, immediately in rear of it a vast army
with picks and shovels were engaged in throw-
ing up earthworks in the open field. “The
picks and shovels behind the skirmish line
fairly flew,” writes Gen. Howard, “till a
good set of earthworks was made 400 yards
off and parallel to the enemy's.” “This was
a feat the like of which never elsewhere fell
under my observation.”
Barker’s bri ado was able tocapture a for-
tificd work. i‘by‘s brigade was driven

ranks, They were helplem under this with-
ering fire, and fell back, leaving behind them
a thousand dead, dying and wounded men.
J uuc 24 and 25, Schofleld extended his lines
still farther to tho-right, compelling Johnston
to thin out and stretch his line correspond-
ingly. The constant fights and skirmishes
that had occurred thus far, so fares they
can be named, are as follows: McAfce Cross
Roads, June 12; Pine Mountain and Pine Top
or Knob, June 14 and 10; Golgotha, June 10;
Lattcmore’s Mills or Noonday Creek, Powder
Spring, June 20.
McAfce’s Cross Roads, Lattenloreh Mills
and Powder Springs were cavalry engage-
ments in which that arm of the service con-
nected with the Army of the Cumberland
were occupied.
By J one 25 Sherman decided that he could
not with safety stretch the line of his own
right further. He resolved, therefore, to
prepare for a strong attack on Johnston‘s
center. In his report he said that his army
looked to him to outflank Johnston as he had
done at every position heretofore.
But he reasoned that, to be efficient, an
army must not settle down to one single
mode of oficnsc, hut must be prepared to
execute any plan that promises success. The
general point selected to attack was the left

tack on Hardco‘s skirniishcrs. It was re-

skirmish line of the Confederate left. This
ended in the same manner, the Confederates

vanes.
GENERAL ASSAULT, JUNE 27.
Con. Sherman fixed on June 27 for the
grand mull; This fight is usually called
the battle of Kenmmv Mountain proper,
though under that name are included all the
fights in the vicinity of the mountain in the
month of J line.
The battle of J um 27 occurred after J ohii-
ston had compactcdhislines and taken his
position acrom Big and Little Kenesaw. His
oft had been withdrawn so much that it was
southward of Kenosaw.
Sherman prepared carefully for the general
asault. He himself was with the Army of
the Cumberland in .
the center. In the
rear of that army
he had a hill cleared
on top. Telegraph
wins from each
arm were laid to
the ill, and here
the commander-in-
chief watched the
battle.
At 0 o‘clocka. m. fl .
the Union soldiers V
moved out to as-
sault the Confeder- Q , ..
ates. The Union '
“nos extended a dis- nu. can. summon.
tance of ten miles. Suddenly, all along this
line, a furious fire of musketry and a thun-
dering cannc burst forth. 1‘
Gen. Samuel G. cnch’s Confederate divi-
sion opened a heavy artillery return fire‘ from
his twenty guns on Kenesaw. Gen. French
kept a journal during hisoccupation of Keno-
saw, and writes further of J mm 25:
“The enemy have new forty guns oh my
front, and when they concentrate their fire
on the mountain at any one place it is pretty
severe, but, owing to our height, nearly
harmless. Thousands of their Parrott shells
pass high over the nwuntain, and, exploding
at ‘ a great elevation, the after part of the
shell is arrested in its flight, and falling per-
pendicularly, comes into camp, and they have
injured our tents. Lastnlght I heard-ape"
cullar ‘thug' on my tent and a rattle of the
tin pans. and this morning my negro boy
cook put his head into my tent andésaid:
‘See here, Mars' Sam, them ’fernal Yanks

’bout it?‘ A rifle ball had fallen from a :great
height and, perforating the pans, had enter» ,
ed the ground.” .

cause it was too slow. Besides that. he‘ said
that as fast as one line should be taken thus
there were always others behind it, and that
Johnston could go on making new lines in the
rear of the old ones interminably.
Unlike some other generals on both sides of
the line, Sherman took all the blame of the
failure to break the Confederate line on‘him-

After dark, June 27, the Union troops re-

INCIDENTS, ETC.
Walker’s line wasamaulted with great fury
also in the first Union onset. Howard’s so .
dicrs broke entirely throu h the skirmish
line here. dashed against 1; rifle pits, and
either bayoneted’ or captured eighty of
Walker’s soldiers. But French, on the hill
top, was able toturn his a so astocnfilado
the attacking corps,
fallback from the rifle pits, maimed and
bleeding.
,Whiio the attack on Walker was at its
heighta shell passed under the top of the
Confederate breastworks, under the part
commonly called the “head log.” and fell into
the rifle trench beneath. There was instant-
(lfia wild stampede from that rt of the
tub andashout. Asmoking was at-
tachedtothe shell. Aftcra moment of in-
tense sus'pensa a Georgia sergeant coolly
Icked up tie missile and filing it over 'the
reastwork again. and out upon the open
field, where it exploded at will, but without
hurting any Confederate soldier.
' "THE REBEL YELL.”
In the bloody attack of Palmer‘s division
against Chcatham, the Confederates reserved
their fire till the assaulters were very close
upon them, almost up to the Confederate in-
trenchmcnts As they came into full view
from the tangled underbrush, there broke
upon them an appalling fire, a sheet of flame
and sound of masks that shook the ground.
In two or - three p aces almost the entire
Union line seemed to disappear under it.
“Succeeding this murderous s of
death,” says a writer who witn the
scene, “there arose from behind the intrench-
ments 0. wild and piercing sound. It was the
‘rebel yell.’ Often are this had it been heard
on the fields of strife, but fiver before had it
smote the ears of those whom it now reeted
with more darln defiance than in th min-
ute of horror blood. Above the roar of
battle, clear and shrill it ran out, and again
and yet again was it re-ec oed from the
mountain crags to the woody recesses of the
plain. Like an inspiration from the genii of
ruin, it seemed to arouse those from whose
threats it leaped forth to more than mortal
energy, and now, from 10,000 muskets and
from a score of cannon, there poured forth
an incessant blaze, which scattered carnage
and death for hundreds of yards around.”
The fire was so tremendous that cannon
ball plowed the ground and shell hurled earth
and sod into the air like a charge of blasting
powder. Often whole trees were cut to piccm
and their branchcs dashed hither and thither
by the shot and shell.
While the battle of Kenesaw was in rog-
rcssShcrman had ordered the Armyo the
Ohio (Schofield‘s) to cmss Ollcy's creek, then,
moving still more and more to the right, ad-
vance to Sweetwater. This was to have tjem
ready, with the ultimate purpose of either
taking the railroad south of Marietta or of
crossing the Chattahmchce. .
Since the assault had failed, the old flank
movement, creeping and burrowing must be
resorted to. “Satisfied of the bloody cost of
attacking intrcncbcd lines,” says the Com-
mander, “I at once thought of moving the
whole army to the railroad at a point (Ful-
ton) about ten miles south oi.’ Marietta, or to
the Chattahoochee rlvcr itself, a. movement
similar to the one afterwards so succesfully
practiced at Atlanta.”
One advantage had indeed been gained by
the assault on fienesrw. That was that the
Confederates had been so actively engagedon
their front that they could spare no troops to
oppose Schoficlii while he worked around
more and more towards the right. The only
force that opposed Schofield‘s advance was
Brig; Gen. . H. Jackson’s cavalry. and he
could wage only a verayouncqual £0.11
Thebesthocouki waste cepoutof
Union clutches, and report movements to his
. — commander. Gen.
Stoneman’s caval—
l‘y immediatel op-'
posed him, an was
nearly to Powder
Spring. Therewas'
constant cavali-
. skirmishing in

troops could be detached from either J chaston
or Lee. to aid the other. On the 28th of June
Sherman telegraphed that he had been on-
tirely successful with, this part of. the pro-
gramme, and that Grant need feel-nothing
from Johnston. ' w ' *
Sherman at once prepared
to have? for-
ward ton days’supplics towards the
m.
'hoochoo by wagon trains. Ho left’the opot
at Allatoena 'to be guarded by Gerrard's
cavalry. ' '
McPherson, Once more becoming the right
of the army, was ordered to pass in therear
of Thomas, and go to the extreme right, and
take position beyond Schoficld. This would
bring him within three miles of the Chair
inhoochoe and within five miles of the railroad
below Marietta. McPherson moved iii the
night, July 2. But Johnston, ever watchful,
detected the ‘movo at once. He had indeed
anticipated it. Since JuneBS his chief on-
gineer, Col. Prcstman, had been p

and behind‘Nicajack clock. Hun . of
slaves were impressed for this Work. The
'Georgiamilltiaalso aidedinit, that novell-
orans might be taken from the arm . .

INCREASE YOUR PENSION.
Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled
to amucllhighcr rate of pension than they now
receive. Inagreat majority of cases in which
pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is
entitled to an increase of rate, and in most cases
where it was granted for wounds or injuries the
disabiiity increases each year. As time passes the
disability of all classes naturally increases. Many
were at first rated too low, and it often occurs
that nsioners are unjustly or erroneously re-
(laced)e by examining surgeons. A pensioner is
entitled to increase on a disability not set forth in
his original declaration. The pension laws are
more liberal than formerly, and better rating can
he had formany disabilities. I make a speciait
of Neglected and Rejected Claims, and if you w 1
present me with a brief statement of your case,
stating by whom it was presented, I will obtain a
rehearing of your case, and, if it has merit. will
procure a favorable settlement. Many claims
stand rejected before the department, when it
only requires a competent attorney to make them
goodcases. Soldiers summing with disabilities
contracted in service, who have not appliedfor a
pension, should do so as it is their mom.

A “’mulcrfui Lake.
Ono of the most picturesque and remark-
able liodlea of water in the world is Henry’s
lake in Idaho. it is situated on the dome of
the continent in a depression in tllo'Rocky
mountains called Targec's pass. It has an
area of forty square illiles, and all around it
rise snow capped peaks, some of them being
the highestof the continent's backbone. In
the lake is a floating island about 800 feet in
diameter. It has for its basis a mat of roots
sedensethat it supports large trees and a
heavy growth of under-brush, These roots
are covered with several feet of rich soil.
The surface is solid enoughtosupport the
weight of ahersa anywhere, and there are
pines where a house could be built. The
wind blows the island about the lake, and it
seldom remains twenty-four hours in the
same place.—San Francisco Post.
The Diflbrcnce.
Willie 10., an Ayrshire farm, was some-
what remiss in attending divine service, and
his parish minister, on one of his pastoral
visits, took mansion to refer to it in rather a
pointed manner. Willie excused himself on
the score of advancing years, but his spirit-
ual guide would not condone the offense on
that ground.
“That will scarcely do, lVilliam, for I ob-
serve you are very 1' er in your attend-
ance at market every dill ."
“0h, ay, sir,” replied illle, “but that's
easy explained! You see when we gang to
the teen we can get what we like, but when
We gang to the kirk we has just to tak’ what
thou likes to gio us.”—Scottish American.

“Oh, you shan’t talk that way about her.

Hal-ll on the Nerves.

the baby‘s rattle tllo other day. It hasn’t
affected the dog scriously,’but it’s awful

words, under culinary circiunstalices the
projectile will fall at a point entirely beyond
