INORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 21 1889.
BATTLE OF JULY 22 AND DEATH
OF M’PHERSON.
McPherson came to Gen. Sherman at the
Howard house, in front of Schofield’s army,
in the forenoon of the 2% to consult him in
reference to changing an order to Dodge’s
corps.
McPherson was a splendidly handsome
ofiicer, idolized by the Army of the Tennes-
see. He dressed richly and elegantly. He
was over six feet high, and at this time 34
years old. .
He rode up to Sherman, clad in top boots,
and wearing his full major general’s uniform.
Sherman and McPherson walked to a tree
near by and sat down under it. While they
talked firing was heard on the left. It waxed
louder and, louder—too strong for skirmish-
m . "
fiW‘hat does that mean i” asked Sherman.
“I will go and see,” answered McPherson.
He hastily gathered his papers into his pocket-
book and rode off in the direction of the
firing. -
THE RIDERLESS HORSE.
The firing rose to a roar. Hood had struck
with all his might at McPherson on the left
flank. McPherson rode off with his staff.
Hefirst reached the head of Dodge‘s corps,
and ordered it to hurry forward to the ex-
posed flank. He then sent one and another
of his staff ofiicers to bring forward to the
same point the reserve brigades of the Fif-
teenth corps. The last order was that to
Wangelin’s brigade to fill the gap between
Blair and Dodge. It was the last he ever
gave.
His staff had all left McPherson save one
orderly. The general, attended by only this
one officer, then rode doWn alittle path in
the woods that led to the rear of the Seven-
teenth army corps—Blair’s.
In a few minutes a riderless horse galloped
wildly out of the woodland path, covered
with blood and wounded in two places. It
was McPherson’s war horse.
Sherman was still walking up and down
the porch of the Howard house, giving orders
and listening to the musketry on the left and
the roar of artillery in the direction of De-
catur. It had been no more than an hour
since Sherman’s favorite commander had left
the porch in the glory of his perfect man‘
hood.
As he still walked the porch one of Mc-
Pherson’s staff galloped up to him with the
information that McPherson had been killed
or taken prisoner, telling him of the riderless
horse, and that musketry had been heard in
the woods down which McPherson rode. The
Confederates had evidently penetrated the
rear of the Seventeenth corps.
Sherman hastily sent orders to Logan, the
next officer in command of the Army of the
Tennessee, to attack the woods and throw all
the Army of the ,
Tennessee into this
battle on the left.
An hour after-
wards an ambu-
lance 'brought to
the Howard house
the dead body of
the commander of
the Army of the
Tennessee. It had
even been in pos-- ;

my for a few min- ,
utes, and had been MAJ. GEN. M PHERSON.

was a handsome diamond ring on the little
finger of the left hand'which Was not taken,
, being concealed by the gauntlet glove he
i wore. A few days afterwards the remains
; were sent to his former home at Clyde, 0.,
and there rests in peace the dust of the most
f, beloved and lamented general in the armies
" Sherman led to victory.
:. The battle of July 22 was Hood‘s first sor-
, tie from Atlanta, and the second one he had
:: made since taking command While Hardee
{v was attacking the left of Sherman‘s army,
« Wheeler’s cavalry made a detour eastward,
‘ attacked the Union wagon trains near Deca-
tur and captured a number of them. The
' rest retreated towards the Chattahoochee.
Hardee’s attack had been against the Fif-
teenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth corps of
Sherman’s or m y.

in that quarter.
At Bald Hill the
combat was fright-
ful. Blair had be-
gun to fortify it
early in the day. Suddenly Stewart’s corps
dashed along the hillside, captured the in-
trenching party and drove back Giles A.
Smith’s division, which held the base of the
hill. On the hilltop was Leggett’s division.
Stewart attacked here also with great fury,
but could not move Leggett. Smith was
able to re-form his line, facing southeast,
I with his right next to Leggett. For four
‘ hours the two divisions thus held themselves
I against all attempts to move them.
At 4 o’clock Hardee made a desperate dash

' brigade and captured two large batteries.
The Union line Was broken between Wood

STONEMAN’S RAID.
Sherman had closed in on Atlanta till there
was left to Hood only one line of communi-
cation-that was by the Macon railroad.
To destroy this,
Sherman sent out a
cavalry force from
both his right and '
left flanks, E. N.
McCook from the
r i g h t, Stoneman
from the left Mc-
Cook had 4,000
m e n. Stone ,
who common ed
both his own nd '
Gerrard’s divismns,
5,000. McCook was
ordered to move
from the night to
Fayetteville. By July 28 he was to be at
Lovejoy’s, south of Atlanta, on the Macon
road. Stoneman, moving south from De-
catur on the east side of Atlanta, was to pass
through McDonough and join McCook at
Lovejoy’s, July 28. The two were then to
unite and destroy the railroad in that vicin-
ity effectually.
McCook carried out his part of the pro
gramme. He destroyed 500 wagons at Fay-
etteville and burnt the Lovejoy railway sta-
tion, and tore up the road there. He waited
for Stoneman at Lovejoy’s. Stoneman did
not come. Dangers gathered thickly around
McCook. Confederate cavah‘y was close
after him. He dared not wait longer, but
moved from Lovejoy’s to the south and west,
to the “rest Point railroad. On the way to
Lovejoy’s, McCook had destroyed a. section
of the IVest Point railroad, near Palmetto
station. This very act came near proving his
ruin. A strong infantry force was at that
time in passage by this road, from Missis-
sippi, to join Hood. The break in the road
at Palmetto station delayed them.
While they waited, McCook’s cavalry, in
ignorance of them, came to Palmetto. They
immediawa surrounded him and forced a
fight, being joined by the cavalry that was
pursuing him.
Nothing was left but for McCook to cut his
way out. He did this with great difficulty,
and lost 500 men. . '
July 27 Stoneman started to execute his
part of Sherman’s orders. With 5,000 troop-
ers, many of them the flower of the youth of
southern Ohio, Stoneman set out. At the
moment of starting he begged a favor of
Sherman. It was that he be permitted, after
the rest of his task was done, to go to Ander-
sonville and release the Union prisoners there.
Sherman consented, and Stoneman left.
Only a small part of those who rode gal~
lantly out that morning returned. Stone-
man seems to have made no attempt to
reach Lovejoy’s. He kept east of the Ocmul-
gee, and went far to the southeast of Love-
joy’s, through Hillsboro and Clinton, and to
Macon itself. He made no attempt on the
Macon railroad, but destroyed a considerable
portion of that leading to Augusta from
Macon.
Stoneman made no attack on Macon, but
started to return without going to Anderson-
ville at all. But he did not retrace his steps
very far until he was confronted by a. cavalry
force under the Confederate general Iverson.
At Clinton Iverson and Stoneman met.
Stoneman supposed this force to be larger
than it was. He ordered his command to
scatter into brigades and cut their way out,
while he, with a small body of troopers,
would receive Iverson’s attack. Only one
brigade, that of Col. Adams, returned to
Sherman unharmed. Nearly all the rest of
Stoneman’s' command was either killed or
taken prisoner. He himself surrendered to
Iverson. Hundreds of his men died in that
very Andersonville prison which he had asked
permission to attack and free its captives.
The morning of July 27 Sherman began
moving his army to the west side of Atlanta.
He moved by the right flank, the Army of
the Tennessee passing behind Schofield and
Thomas and taking position on the west side
of Proctor’s creek. Thus the move was ac-
complished. Maj. Gen. 0. 0. Howard had
been promoted to the command of the Army
of the Tennessee.
MAJ. GEN. STONEMAN.
BATTLE OF EZRA CHURCH, JULY 28.
In the new alignment of the Army of the
Tennessee Dodge, with the Sixteenth corps,
was immediately west of Proctor’s creek.
Beyond him, on the southwest, with his right
at Ezra. chapel, was Blair’s corps-the Seven- ‘
teenth. Ezra chapel was on the Lickskillet
road, leading into Atlanta. On Blair‘s right,
and still further to the southwest, was Logan’s
corps. The three corps formed a crescent
about Ezra church. July 28 they began
throwing up breastworks and diggingtrenches
at once. It was a work both armies were
now well used to.

EZRA CHURCH.
The Army of the Tennessee finished their
defensive works none too soon. During the
forenocn already heavy firing was heard on
their front.
Hood was attempting another sortie, the
second from his works at Atlanta. At noon
3 great force of Confederates was seen up-
proaching rapidly from Atlanta along the
Lickskillet road. This was the attacking
army. It was Hood‘s own old corps, now
under command of Gen. 8. D. Lee, who had
relieved Cheatham.
The attack fell on Howard’s right and on
Logan’s corps. The battle of Ezra Church
was fought on the Union side by the Army
of the Tennessee alone. and by Logan’s corps
of that army.
Hood’s manner of fighting was once more
illustrated at Ezra Church. Assault after
assault was made against Logan, fierce and
fast, but he was not shaken. 0f one of the
Confederate charges the author of the “His-
tory of the Fifteenth Iowa Regiment" writes;
“A gallant and handsome general, a mag-
nificent horseman, mounted on a. large, fiery,
' ~ - dappled gray horse,
which made him

1 times they were repulsed. It seemed as if

took seven shots at him myself, as fast as a
It is not
strange that I did not hit him, but I have
often wondered how he escaped, as I learn he
and his horse also did, unhurt, with all those
sharpshooters after his scalp.”
The battle lasted four hours; then it ended
as that east of Atlanta, July 22, had done. The
Confederates retired with great loss to their
intrenchments at Atlanta. Hood made no
more sorties. At Ezra chapel he lost 4,642
men. The Union loss was 700.
SEIGE OF ATLANTA, JULY 28 TO
SEPT. 2.
After Ezra chapel Sherman entered reguf
larly on the seige of Atlanta. He worked
steadily towards the right. He threw up
block after block of intrenchments, which
Hood always met with a line directly oppo-
site.
The opposing lines were near together, and
there was, as at Marietta, and New Hope
church, and elsewhere, incessant fighting.
Gen. Dodge and many other officers were
wounded, some killed. Gen. F. P. Blair, of
the Seventeenth corps, Army of the Tenn-
essee, summed up this siege work as follows:
“The command was occupied twenty-eight
days in making approaches, digging riile pits
and erecting batteries, being subjected day
and night to a galling fire of artillery and
musketry."
The general plan was that Schofield’s army,
now on the Union right, should work its way
gradually southward till he could gain the
Macon road, while the armies of Howard and
Thomas engaged the Confederates constantly
at the front.
Sherman sent for four heavy guns. They
arrived from Chattanooga Aug. 10, and with
them the Union commander sought vainly to
batter down Atlanta and dislogde Hood.
But nothing could dislodge him except the
cutting off of his supplies by way of the Ma-
con railroad Sherman resolved at length to
make a. bold stroke and do this.
As a preliminary move Gen. Judson Kil-
patrick was sent on a cavalry raid south of
Atlanta to break up the Macon road. This
was the more feasible, as at that time
Wheeler was absent from the Confederate
camp with 4,500 cavalry. Hood had sent him
to make inroads on Sherman’s rear.
Kilpatrick’s raid was in a measure success-
ful. He advancedas far as J onesboro, on the
Macon road, destroying the tracks as he
went. At J onesboro he had a fight with the
Confederate cavalry under Ross, Aug. 19,
and repulsed them; but on the 20th J ackSon’s
cavalry, with a brigade of Confederate in-
fantry, assailed him, and in turn drove him
03. He returned to Lovejoy’s and again met
MAP or OAVALRY RAIDS.
the Confederates the same day and had a
fight. The Confederates this time were de-
feated, and Kilpatrick captured four guns
and many prisoners. Then he'returned to
Sherman, through Decatur. He had made
the circuit of Atlanta. without, however,
doing great damage. During this raid Col.
Minty distinguished himself.
Sherman next started his whole army
southward. By one of his favorite wheel
movements Sehofield had been moved to the
right of the Army of the Tennesee, Aug. 1.
Palmer’s corps had passed on next, and took
position south of Utoy creek.
Aug. 25 Gen. Alpheus S. Williams was sent
back with his division to guard the railroad
crossing at the Chattahoochee. , The rest of
the army was started inwards Jonesboro and
the Macon railroad, with fifteen days' ra-
tions.
By the next day the whole Union army
was grouped about Utoy creek. On the 28th
the armies of Thomas and Howard moved to
the West Point railroad, and next day, Aug.
as, infantry tried their hand at railroad de-
stroying, this time under the eye of their
commander himself. The lessons learned on
the Meridian raid were not forgotten. Rai'
road ties were ripped from their beds and
burned and rails were heated red hot in the
fires of the ties. and then twisted into “Jeff
Davis necktice" ‘around trees and saplings.
Deep cuts were filled with brush and trees
and loaded shells placed among the branches.
No danger ofpthe Confederates ' ing that
railroad in a hurry, after Sherman’s men had
done with it.
Nothing was now left for Hood but to cut
his way out. Aug. 28 Sherman in moving
his armies had executed anothergeneral left
wheel and Howard was again on the right,
near Jonesboro. Thomas was' in the center
on the Fayetteville road, and Schofield was
on the left. The armywas now established
along the railroad from Atlanta to Macon.
JONESBORO, AUG. 31.
Aug. 80 Hood sent Hardee’s corps to
Jonesboro to oppose Sherman’s movement.
He had no idea, however, that the whole
Union army was here. Hood intended to at-
tack the Union force in flank with Stewart’s
corps if Hardee was successful.
Howard‘s army was nearest J onesboro and
here Howard was attacked furiously about 8 p.
m. Schofield and Thomas were at points along
the railroad Orders had been sent to them
in the morning as soon as the presence of the
COnfederatns at Jonesboro had been detected
to cane straight to Jonesboro, tearing up the
railroad as they advanced.
Hardee sallied out of Jonesboro and at-
tacked Howard in his intrenchments. The
battle lasted two hours. The Army of the
Tennessee, behind its r'ifie pits, easily repuls-
ed the Confederates. They retired with the
10$ of 2,000 men.
Sherman hoped, by the arrival of Thomas
and Sohofield from the north, to crush Har-
dee. 8011on was at Rough and Ready,
between Atlanta and J ouesboro.
By noon Sept. 1, Thomas' right joined
Howard’s left, and was in line across the rail-
road. But the rest could not come up in time
over the broken country, and the opportunity
was lost. Hardee retreated during the night.
That night, Sept. 1, Hood blew up his pew-
der magazines and evacuated Atlanta. Sher-
man’s army was then twen miles away.
Hood was able to unite with ee before
either could be intercepted. Sept. 2, Slocum‘s
corps entered the now empty city of Atlanta,
the stronghold of the Confederacy.
Sherman’slcsses from the time he left Chatta-
noogauntil Atlanta was taken, from May 6
to Sept. 8, 1864, were 87,199. The Confeder-
ate loss during the same time was nearly as
great, though it has never been exactly esti-
mated. ‘
Sept. 3, on the wings of the lightning, this
message from the commander of the Union
army sped through all parts of the north:
