2510 - L Aug. 1: 1/1 - In a letter to the editor, P. says: In a camp near
Atlanta, several boys were collected around a house where there were sev-
eral fine-lonking young women. One of them remarked "You'ns don't
fight we'ns fair. Hooker takes his regiment and goes around and fight
we'ns end ways." They do not approve of Shermans flanking operations.
The Rebels announce they will hold Atlanta till the last; and if they
are finally driven out, they will leave it in ashes. -
Major General McPherson, who was killed in the early part of the engage-
ments, was a brave, gallant, and efficient officer, and commanded the re-
spect of all who knew him. "The loss of such an officer in such a time as
this is a great loss and keenly felt. We hope to be in Atlanta soon." (15)
