<§Uiss d fc THE WAR. The past week witnessed the last of the late rebel invasion of Maryland. Now that the public mind has recovered from the terror and excitement which the visit of the raiders occasioned, calm observation has shown that the opinion expressed in our last issue of the comparatively small amount of damage done by the enemy, was correct. The tone of the rebel press has also gone to confirm our view. They are not at all satis fied with the exploits of Breckenridge and Early. The Richmond Examiner says: “It must be confessed that our invasion, just at this moment looks like one of the most pal*ry affairs of the war. Washington was not tajten. Baltimore was not taken. Not a bridge of the road between Washing ton and Baltimore was burned. The road itself was unbroken. What has been done then?” The Examiner takeß the same view of the raid that we did last week. The rebels evi dently had something else in view besides the capture of some cattle and horses, and the frightening Of a few farmers, and not succeeding in accomplishing their object, their raid may be said to have been a failure- While the war continues there will be no scarcity of subjects of an exciting character to occupy public attention. One exoitement is barely disposed of, -when another presents itself. In place of the-rebel raid,, we have had during the past week, marvellous ac counts of visits to Richmond, having as their object the healing of our national troubles. And then some of the rebel lead ers appear on our Northern frontier seek ing for peace propositions. Horace Greeley who was present at the Clifton House Con ference, seems to be hopeful of some good arising out of these things. We shall see. In the meantime, we believe, Grant and Sherman are the best peace commissioners we can send the rebels, and that Richmond and Atlanta are the best places to negotiate. GENERAL SHERMAN’S ARMY. The campaign in Tennessee and Georgia has shown W. T. Sherman to be one of the best Generals the war has produced. He is not only a fighting General, but also a mas ter of real strategy. He knows how'"to lead his veterans against the strong works of the enemy, and in the successful execution of a flank movement he has few equals. He has proved himself more than a match for the rebel General Johnston, and the authorities at Richmond recognizing this fact have re lieved Johnston and sent what they no doubt deem a better man to take his place. Very little is known of Gen. Hood, who now commands the forces opposed to Sher man. Previous to this recent elevation he has never had a larger command than a his position, however, before he began to go through the same experience as Johnston; for we are informed that in a battle which took place before Atlanta, the rebels were defeated with great loss. We are afraid Hood will not be much of an improvement on Johnston, so long as Sherman stands in the way of success. At this writing reports are prevalent of the capture of Atlanta, but there is no offi cial confirmation. Sherman has cut most of the railroads leading from Atlanta to Other parts of the Confederacy, and, indeed, the most important lines of communication have ceased to be of. any service to the re bels. While the country will rejoice over the victories of Sherman in front of Atlanta, there will be a universal sorrow felt through the loyal States over the death of Gen. James B. McPherson. This gallant officer was killed in one of the recent engagements. Crossing the Chattahoochee. After detailing the preparations for the movement, a correspondent gives the fol lowing recount of the crossing of the Chat tahoochee : After having secretly examined the ground and determined upon our plans, the troops were put into position to commence opera tions. One brigade was sent up the river, about half a mile, to try and cross on an old fish-dam by wading. Another was marched to the month of a creek, under cover of the wood. A strong skirmish line formed right and left to cover their movements when or dered forward. The other three brigades were on the road, a little to the rear, ready to push forward whenever we were prepared for them. The pontoon train was then got up and the pontoons made ready to launch in the creek. Everything was then ready to start, and only one word from the Gene ral, and thousands of men were to rush headlong to death and destruction or vic tory ; for I well know, had we failed, hardly a man of us would be alive to-day. The brigade furthest up the river made the first advance. Fifty strong hearts were chosen to lead the skirmishers aoross the fish dam. In they dashed up to their arms in water, and away for the other bank. The enemy were completely taken by surprise, and fired but few shots. They evidently were not ex pecting the Yankees in any such quarter, and as soon as they discharged their loads ran for 'their lives. Consequently this bri gade crossed with little trouble. The prin cipal movement, however, was at the mouth of the creek, and over which the General was personally superintending. As soon as we heard that the brigade above had started orders were given for the skirmishers to ad " Vance across the bottom-land and accupy the brush on the river bank, and at the same time to launch the poontoons into the creek and float them out into the river loaded with men to cross over. As quick as a flash, without any hesitation, a thousond men, as skirmishers, started on the “ double-quick” across the flat, and completely surprised the enemy again in his front. Our men were On the river bank before the enemy seemed to know there was such a thing as a Yankee around, and of course gave us a good advan tage. Volley after volley was exchanged. The artillery thundered forth with such ra pidity that other sounds were completely drowned. The rebels had but one gun, and when onr four or five batteries opened they BOOn saw there was no hope for them. Our pontoons put out as fast as they could be loaded and poled across the river; and as they landed on the other side, cheer upon cheer would ringthrough the air, that made us all feel that success was sure. As fast as they got over, the men would form and charge up the hill, and in less than an hour three brigades had crossed and held the ridge above the river. As soon as the cros sing was secured the pontoons were put down, and by midnight we had two bridges over the river and a whole division behind breastworks ready to hold against any num bers our crossing of the Chattahoochee. Difficulties of Crossing. Two of the attempts made by us—that on the right and the one in the centre—have been unsuccessful though unattended with loss of life, because so cautiously made. The attempt to cross on the right was made first. The entire army of the Tennessee was massed near the river, above old Sweet water’s factory, about five miles below the railroad bridge, and on the 6th the pontoon train attached to that army was sent down within a short distance of the river, and a cannonade was opened en theopposite bank, to ascertain if it were practicable to cross at that point. The enemy were discovered to be in too strong force, and too wellstrength ened by artillery to allow the crossing with out great sacrifice of life. On the 6th of July the pontoon train attached to the army of the Cumberland, commanded by Col. Iluell, of the 58th Indiana, was brought down within three-quarters of a mile of the river, in froni of the 4th Corps, but here again, the enemy were awaiting us, and our cannon elicited such replies as made it plainly evident that the crossing should not be attempted there. On the evening of the 6th the train was withdrawn to a position a few milestin the rear of this ford, where it remained over the 7th, and arrived here in the afternoon of the Bth, in time for the 23d Corps to cross that evening, as has heen heretofore narra ted. Fortunately, our superiority in num bers enabled us to leave large bodies of men at the points where we had previously attempted to cross, who made such demon strations there as induced the Rebels to believe that we still intended to cross, while we sent others still further up the river, who reached above the Rebel line and crossed without opposition. The Approach to Atlanta. The correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga zette, under the date of Atlanta, Ga., July 22d, gives full and highly interesting details of the movements of Sherman's army since crossing the Chattahoochie river. On the morning of the 18th the whole line advanced, McPherson taking position on the extreme left, Schofield the left centre, Howard the centre, Hooker the right centre, and Pal mer the extreme right. On the morning of the 19th, our advance reached Peach Tree Creek, a stream running four miles north of Atlanta, and after considerable skirmishing the enemy was dislodged, and portions of Howard’s corps crossed; our left in the mean time, swinging round to the Atlanta and Augusta Railroad near Decatur, and tearing up several miles of the track. On the even ing of the 19th and morning of the 20th, Howard, Hooker and Palmer crossed with the balance of their corps, forming in line of battle along the north bank of the creek. At 3 P. M., the rebels made a desperate and ! sudden assault on Howard, in great force. The attack soon extended to Hooker’s corps, the rebels advancing three lines deep. A portion of our line first wavered before the terrible onset, but were quickly rallied and stood firm as a rock. Here this portion of in the campaign in the open field. Before dark the rebels were entirely defeated, having failed to break our lines at any point, and retired in disorder, leaving most of the dead and two hundred wounded on the field. Our loss will reach two thousand men, principally from Hooker's corps. The rebel loss in killed, wounded and missing exceeds six thousand, including three bri gadier generals. • On the extreme left the operations were equally successful,"McPher son driving the enemy several miles. Blair’s division advanced a mile and a half north of the Augusta road. On the morning of the 21st the enemy were driven with much loss to the works immediately around At lanta, and on the 22d they had withdrawn entirely from Hooker’s and Palmer’s front, and at 3 P, M. of that day portions of our army entered the city. Battle Near Atlanta. Thg enemy, holding the largest part of the city, assaulted our works on Friday, the 23d, with great fury, evidently expecting to "drive our forces out of the city. The Fif teenth Corps, commanded by Frank Blair, seemed to be the special object of the rebel wrath, as the enemy massed against it «n overwhelming force. The “ Fifteenth" re ceived the shock gallantly, and held its own until General Dodge with the Sixteenth Corps came up, when the rebels were driven' back with great slaughter. General Mc- Pherson was shot while reconnoitring. He having become separated from his staff for a moment, a rebel sharpshooter shot him from an ambush. The terrible struggle ended by repulsing the enemy at every point on the line. While the work of burying the dead and removing the wounded was going on, on Saturday, Sherman's heavy artillery was playing upon the city. At the same time large fires were observed in dif ferent parts of Atlanta, supposed to be the destruction of supply depots and such other property as they could not convey away, and did not wish to have fall into our hands. This was considered evidence of an inten tion by the enemy to evacuate the place. Several rebel generals are reported killed, but their names are not given. After Ge neral McPherson’s death, General Logan assumed command of his grand division. A despatch received on the 25th, from General Sherman, states that his losses in the battle of Friday was less than two thous and, while that of the enemy cannot be less than seven thousand, owing to the advant age Sherman took of their effort to turn his left column. General McPherson. Major-Geweral James B. McPherson, United States Volunteers, and Brigadier- General of the Regular army of the United States, was born in Sandusky, Ohio, during the month of November, 1828, and was con sequently in bis thirty-sixth year of his age when he was killed. He entered the Unit ed States Military Academy at West Point as a cadet from Ohio during the year 1849, and even from his first examination gained a high position in that institute. He stood second in the fourth class of 1850,. first in the third class of 1851, and first in the sec class of 1852. He graduated at the head of his class on June 30, 1853, and en tered the regular army on July 1, with a brovet rank of SGcoud lieutenant of engi neers. He was at once appointed an assis tant instructor of practical engineering at the Military Academy, and retained the po sition until September, 1854. It was not the usual practice in that institution to give this position to so young a graduate; but tne skill and education of Lieutenant Mc- Pherson was considered cf sufficient impor tance to warrant his appointment. When the war commenced Lieut.' Mc- PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1864. Phereon had risen to the rank of Colonel in the regular army, since then his career is well known to the whole country. Before his death he had been promoted to a Briga dier-General in the regular army, and he was also Major General of volunteers. lie died on the field, the commanding General of that army which he entered two years ago as an unknown staff officer. His fall will be deeply deplored by the people, as a serious loss to the army and to the country, in her hour of need. The battle of Tupelo, Mississippi, was a very severe one. It was fought on the 13th instant. The enemy was totally defeated and terribly punished by our cavalry and negro troops, who bore the brunt of the bat tle, and fought with remarkable steadiness and valor. Another engagement succeeded this at night, and the rebels were disastrously repulsed, as they assaulted us behind tem porary entrenchments. On the 15th another battle occurred. Gen. Forrest led three desperate charges in person upon our lines, every one of which was repulsed, and the enemy was driven back with great slaughter. On the night of the 15th the last day’s ra tions were distributed, and the next morn ing the expedition started to return, followed by Buford's cavalry division, which was re pulsed on the 16th, and finally retreated, leaving our forces to continue their march unmolested. From the night of the 15th to the night of the 17th, our troops were with out supplies, and were obliged to subsist on the country; but on arriving at Salem sup ply trains were met, and the men were co piously fed and rested. On the 20th the expedition reached La grange, with a loss (all told) of only five hundred men. Not a single gun or wagon was lost or abandoned during the entire movement. Gen. Garrison says the rebel loss cannot be less than four thousand. De spatches captured from the rebels by Gen. Hatch, admit a loss of two thousand four hundred. Among the rebels killed are Gens, Columbus Faulkner, Mowbray, Nel son, Forrest, and Colonel Grier. Colonel Wilkins, sth Minnesota, and Lieutenant McMahon, of the 9th Illinois, are the only Federal officers known to have been killed. Our wounded were arriving at Memphis'. The expedition returns solely on account of the exhaustion of supplies. Our troops brought in 2,000 prisoners. The rebel dead were buried by our men on several occasions, Forrest refusing to make a detail tempor arily for that duty. Gen. A. J. Smith's handsome victory over the rebels under Forrest and Stephen De catur Lee was so near the scene of Forrest’s defeat of Sturgis, as to give a sort of dra matic as well as military justice to the cam paign in that quarter. Guntown, the local ity of Sturgis' disaster, is but thirteen miles from Tupelo, where Smith wiped out the disgrace of that humiliating affair. The geographical position of this hotly contested territory is in the northeastern part of the State of Mississippi, Tupelo being forty-nine miles south of Corinth, the junction of the Mobile and Ohio with the Memphis and Charleston Railroad. GENERAL A. J. SMITH'S EXPEDITION On the 12th inst Major-General Wasli i burne sent out a force of cavalry, infantry I and artillery, from Lagrange, Tenn., under Major-GeneralSmith and Brigadier-Generals Mower and Garrison, with instructions to march, in pursuit of General Forrest and bring him to bay, fight and whip him. It was known that General Smith had the ability, skill, force and personal fighting was ordered to pursue Forrest to Columbus, Mississippi, if he did not overtake him this side. The expedition consisted of a division of cavalry and of infantry, and a brigade of colored troops. Gen. Smith outmanoeuvred Gens. S. D. Lee and N. B. Forest throughout the entire movement, and soundly whipped the rebels in five different engagements. ANOTHER IMPORTANT EXPEDITION. Preparations for a movement into Ala bama, under Gen. Rousseau, have for some time been in progress. Previous to the de parture of the column it was, of course, im proper to publish anything relating to the subject; but it has now been so long on the march that we are bearing of its work and its whereabouts through rebel newspapers. On the 10 th day of July the party of cavalry under Gen. Rousseau, of which-the expedi tion is composed, set out from Decatur, a flourishing town in North Alabama, situated on the Tennessee river, at the point where it crossed by the Memphis and Charleston Railroad. On the following' Friday (July 15th) the column* had reached Talladega, having marched about one hundred and twenty miles in a southeasterly direction ; and on the 18th, the rebels at Atlanta found themselves cut off from telegraphic commu nication with Montgomery. The wires were cut at Notasulga, a station on the Montgo mery, West Point and Atlanta Railroad. This latter point is in Macon county, Ala bama, about 200 miles from the starting point of the expedition at Decatur. Noto sulga is but 48 miles from Montgomery. The Richmond rebels were also startled on the 18th, by the information that no train from West Point had reached Atlanta on that day. It will thus be seen that Gen. Rousseau is actively at work on the object of his expe dition, which was to cut off railroad and telegraphic communication between Atlanta and the southwestern states of Rebeldom. Alabama is not very well furnished with railroads. The Memphis and Charleston road, which crosses the northern part of the state, has been in our possession since 1862. After the capture of that line, the only re maining railroad connection through Ala bama is that which General Roußseau has just interrupted. It was not only the main line of communication between Alabama and Mississippi and the northeastern states of Rebeldom, but it was the only'line left for their military service. It was in the contemplation of General Rousseau’s expe dition to destroy every prominent point on this route from Montgomery to Opelika, a distance of sixty-four miles. At Opelika the road forks,one branch extending through Columbus to Macon, Georgia, and the other to Atlanta. We have no doubt that Gen. Rousseau has accomplished his instructions and done his work effectively. He is an able and energetic officer, and one of the Kentuckians who is very much in earnest in the war. He had with him five regiments of Western cavalry, numbering twenty-seven hundred, all veterans, and one thousand of them armed with Spencer’s repeating rifle. If he has done what he intended to try to do, Hood's army is cut off from retreat towards Montgomery and Mobile, and the States of Alabama and Mississippi are separated from the rest of the “Confederacy" for ,a month at the very least. It was over the Montgo mery and West Point road that the rebel army at Atlanta received the whole of its supply of beef-cattle from Florida and the lower counties of Mississippi. From Opelika General Rousseau will have a march of about one hundred and fifty miles to join Sherman at Atlanta; but should he be in danger of being intercepted he will probably strike for Pensacola, about two hundred and fifty miles"away. Battle of Tupelo. GUERILLAS IN KENTUCKY. A step toward the redemption of Ken tucky has been taken by Gen. Burbridge. That officer has been taught by experience the secrets of guerrilla warfare, the life of which is in the support it receives from the inhabitants of the country in which it is carried on, and in the indulgence hereto fore mistakenly and cruelty granted to cap tured outlaws. Gen. Burbridge now orders that Rebel sympathizers living within five miles of the scene of any guerrilla outrages shall he Bent beyond the United States; that the property of rebel sympathizers shall be sequestered for the indemnification of losses by loyal citizens; and that the mur der of each Union citizen shall be avenged by the military execution of four guerrilla prisoners. It seems to us that the career of irregular warfare in Kentucy is run. PURSUIT OE THE INVADERS. Gen. Ayerill moyed out from Martins bUfg, on the Winchester Pike, on til? 19th ; with a force of infantry, cavalry, and artil lery, and encountered a cavalry force under Jackson at Darkville, which he drove under cover of the intrenchments at Winchester, where they were reenforced by 5,000 infan try under Breckinridge. Averill manceu vred his force so as to compel them to come out from behind their intrenchments and attack him. The fight lasted three hours and resulted in their being Touted and driven beind their intrenchments with a loss of one Ge neral (Kelly) killed, and four pieces of artillery, and 200 prisoners captured, and 500 killed and wounded. Our loss will not* exceed 215 killed and wounded. We have none missing or captured. Defeat of Early’s Forces. L’he following is a despatch from General At erill, showing how he defeated Early: ‘Near Winchester, July 19.—Breckin ridge divided his iorce at Berryvilie last night, sending Early to jrFinChester, and taking the other division toward Millwood, j attacked and defeated Early to-day in front of Winchester, killing and wounding 3()0 of his officers and men, capturing four cknnon, several hundred small arms and 2OO prisoners. Gen. Lilley is se verely wounded and in our hands, Col- Biiard of the 58th Virginia is killed. The cannon and prisoners have been Bent to Martinsburg. The enemy’s loss iii officers is heavy. Prisoners admit their force to have been 5,000. The commands of Jack sbn and Imboden, which were present, are not included in the mentioned strength.” / ARMY OE THE POTOMAC. We have scarcely any intelligence of im portance from the Army of the Potomac. There has been no movement of importance thi.t we have heard of, during the week. Pirket firing, and the play of batteries seem to be the only exceptions to the general qu et that prevails. A NOBLE LETTER. The following'letter from the Hon. John Patton, formerly member of Congress from Pennsylvania, explains itself. Curwensville, where Mr. Patton resides, is v a town of about four hundred inhabitants. It has sent to the treasury of the Christian Commission withik a year over three thousand dollars. CuRWENSvn.i.E, Pa., July sth, 1864. Geo. 'Si.

M. Jackson, of this city, because I was prejudiced against them for many years, under the impression that they were chiefly an alco holic mixture. I am indebted to my friend, Robert Shoemaker, Esq., for the removal of this prejudice by proper tests, ana for encouragement to try them, when suffering from great and long continued debility. The uso of three bottles of these Bitters, at the beginning of the present year, was followed by evident relief, and restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor which I had not felt for six months before, and had almost despaired of regaining. I therefore thank God and my friend for directing me to the use of them. Philada ., June 23,1861. J. NEWTON BROWN. PARTICULAR NOTICE.
