2482 - L. May 21; ed: 2/1 - The Rebel general, Johnston, has been worsted at
every point and has been forced to retreat by General Sherman's attacks.
"The splendid legions of the northwest, that have always moved to
victory, will now add new laurels to their brilliant wreath of heroic deeds
in the cause of Liberty and Union." (7)

2485 - L. May 31; ed: 2/1 - Sherman's troops met the Rebel army at Dallas,
Ga., and defeated them, losing 300 and capturing 2,500, thus giving him a
change of base to the Alabatua river. -
"The only fear is that Johnston may have quietly reinforced Lee. If
so, Sherman will find plenty to do." (9)

2506 - L. July 20; ed: 2/2 - The expedition of 20,000 men under General A.
J. Smith, on its way to Montgomery or Selma, has met with success.
Another important expedition, under General Rousseau, is also headed
for Selma or Montgomery and will probably meet Smith enroute and inflict
great damage to the enemy, as General Johnston cannot spare a man to re-
pel them.
If they reach Selma, the Union force will move on to Mobile or Mont-
gomery. "We watch with the greatest interest, this important expedition."

2508 - L. July 23; ed:4/1 - Atlanta, the most important point to the gulf
states, has been captured by General Sherman. His next step will be in
the direction of Augusta, and the seizure of the same would mean the sepa-
ration of the Confederacy into two parts, each part incapable of support-
ing a large army for any length of time.
The capture of Atlanta must, therefore, give new hope to the country
of the speedy termination of the Rebellion. Grant will be able to act
with greater decision than ever. If Johnston can be kept from reinforcing
Lee, Lee must soon fight under great disadvantage, or retreat with the
danger of annihilation. (9)

2509 - L. July 27; ed:2/1 - Generals Lee and Johnston are working hand in
hand to defeat Sherman. Johnston already has falien back from Chattanooga
to get in position to be reinforced hy Lee, who has also sent off large
numbers to defeat Sherman in Georgia. It seems the South has suddenly de-
cided to invade such northern states as Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania.
"This magnificent scheme hatched in Baltimore, will undoubtedly succeed,
unless General Grant concludes to modify it. We shall see what we shall
see," (5)
