.... THE OPENING-OF-THE CAMPAIGN.
It may perhaps interest some of your renders to
khow.of tlic whereabouts' of the White Star .Divi
sion, and to hear wlrnt part they are taking in the
sttfring just'inaugurated In the West.
Wo lay at Bridgeport, as" you know, during the
winter, hut with the May' flowers came the orders;':
first to ho in readiness, and then to march. We
broke camp accordingly bn the morning of the 3d
and marched by way of Wnnhatchlo and Lookout
Mountain to it point near Ringgold, whore wo struck
off to tire right, and moving through Gordon’s
Springs, reached this place the arternoon of the
6th, Here a road abruptly ascends'the steep side of
Rooky Face Ridgo, crossing it lit a slight depression
eajlod Mill Creek Gap, though.' .why it should, be
called a gap, when there is neither cleft, aportiiro,
nor rent, no one can exactly tail, .
' AT libcin." FACE RIIJGE;. ,
Having driven in the rebel pickets, Gandy’s and.
Bushbeck’s brigades (Col. Ireland’s having boon
detached in tlio morning to accompany tiio cavalry
.which”was co-opertittag with McPherson) . were
formed by General Geary at- the -.foot of-tho ridge,
and the artillery placed, in position to command the
point where a roodcrossed the mduntata.iOur troops*
then advanced in lino of battle oreboth sides of tho
road, with; skirmishers ta-lfront;' :pushlng forward ■
overground the exact - counterpart of that which
has become so fnmUiarta connection with Lookout
Mountain. Rocksjuttiggput at'all sorts of anglos,
yawning and' thleWy-woOdediravinos, and stones •
that relied-down on the mom’below when disturbed
by one’s tread,-'combined with the* preetpitens as
cent to make the advance a most toilsome and. ar
duous one.: The onetty’s skirmishers openod sharp
ly on our linens soon ns It began'to move, often
firing.ojiplosive bullets, and at half past three the
crash of musketry and- roar of artillery told of a
fierco conflict—sadly evidenced by tho numbers that
wore borne on stretchers or limping painfully to the
rear. In spite of all resistanceour men pushed stoa-.
dily forward" until . the enemy’s .skirmishers were
driven baok on thoir main line...
: THE EMEM.'S.-’S POSITION—A DESPERATE FIGHT.
If you can Imagine a succession of palisades rising
almost perpendicularly twenty-feet high, only passa
ble at a very few points,'where the rifts in the rock
were strongly guarded, imdtho whole crowned with
a breastwork, you will understand the position held
by the enemy, and which confronted our -men after
two hours' hot fighting; Nothing daunted, however,
they pushed gailnntly fonyard; and : endeayored,
by Scree assaults, to get a foothold on the crest.
Without ladders, however, the crest : could-not be
gained, and the men were ordered to die'down and
hold their ground. General Geary then quietly
despatched apart of our force to our'right, wither-,
ders to endeavor to turn tho . enemy’s flaiS.i The
attempt was made with a bravery that deserved
success. Some of the men actually climbed to the
top of the palisades, and after fighting desperately
were cither hurled off orhad to jump for their lives.
Two officers-were killed and one dangerously wound
ed in attempting to force a passage through one. of
the rifts of which I have spoken, and tho enemy
having thrown a force on our flank, that portion of
tho lino was compelled to fall back.
riTE ASSAULTS MADE.
In all. five assaults were made, and It was only
when darkness came on, and when our attack had
•had the effect of drawing the enemy from McPher
son's .column, which was, thus to seize Snake
Gap, six mites to our right, and" to march at once for
the railroad which runs south from Dalton, that our;
men were withdrawn to the foot of the mountain
under cover of a trot artillery lire and a strong lino
of skirmishers. There wore onlythree points, and
all covering but a few yards, where paths led'to the
summit—the ma'in road barricaded and obstructed
with . abattis—and two narrow, trails ; aijd our lists
of dead .and wounded will show how well the men
strove to maintain the high reputation or the divi
sion. ’ The height of. the ridge is estimated at Siput:,
one thousand feet. , . ..-y '
.- . . ■ KXAPP'S BATTERY. : ■: ,• ■ ':.
• Knapp’s Battery was admirably handled through
out ’ the ; engagement, firing 1 shell with great accu
racy, and landing these unpleasant visitors in the
enemy’s signal station, and at other' pointslnlong:
the crest. : ' ' .
our. DIVISION COMMANDER,
Our advance tip the mountain was personally su
perintended by the division commander, who was
present, with his staff, at ail points, directing tho
movement of the lines and eneoufhging. the men.
THL LOSSES.
It was impossible to ascertain the enemy’s loss,
but, from tire determined manner in which our

BHBRaiAK’S FORWARD MOVEMENT FROM IiESACA—•
THE CROSSING OF THE ETOWAH—JOHNSTON OUT
GENERALED—AKOTHER ORxVKD FLANKING SIOVE
•• : MKNT.
[Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial. 3 .
Kksaca, Ga., May 20.-—The designs or Sherman
are now somewhat less,.; mysterious. East night
Howard, Palmer,’ Hooker, Bogan, and Dodge’s
corps were at, and'slightly beyond Dallas—a. point
on the flank of the rebel position in tUeAllatoona
mountains, in what is known as Hickory Gap, ton
miles southeast of Etowah, the station where the
railroad crosses the Etowah rirer. At tho point,
where the railroad pierces tho Allatoona mountains,
forty miles from Atlanta, Johnston had halted for
resistance, occupying''a very strong natural and.,
powerfully fortihed position. Before we could at
tack him in front it was necessary to cross the
Etowah river, and march up the steep and rugged
slopes of the mountains which abut on the stream.
AY hen the army moved on Monday, Schofield’s corp 3
moved to Etowahy and succeeded in laying pon
toons, making} the while, at several points, aemon
strations, leading the enemy to believe that we pro
posed to attack him directly in front.
AVhile Schofield was thus ongnged, the rest of the
army inarched rapidly to the Etowah river, and
crossed without serious opposition at a point about
fifteen miles below the railroad ; bridge. Immedi
ately resuming the lino of march, and with but
light skirmishing, reached’Dallas last evening,
about thirty miles from Atlanta, and within a short'
march of Marietta, a station on the railroad directly
in the rear of the rebel position at Allatoona. Scho
field has crossed the river near Etowah Station, and .
is moving down the ridge to join tho main body, his
rear guard skirmishing constantly with the enemy. *
Johnston is again completely outgeneraled., lie.
Is thus compelled to abandon Ids strong position in
the Allatoona mountains, and fight, ifat all, in tho.
open country south of there. Cannonading hns j :
been heard to-day, anti the impression prevails that
a battle is in progress to-day near Marietta.
A courier from Johnston to his chief of cavalry,
General Jackson, was captured, day before yester-, -
day, bearing a note of inquiry from the .former, ask
ing immediate information of Sherman’s movements
on his hanks. Tho courier was taken beforo General
Thomas,, who removed his clothes and dressed a
trusty scout of his own In them,.with an answer to
Johnston’s message. What tills answer was is not
generally knownjlmtitis prosiiraed that it did not
communicate the movements of our forces with ex
actness. / ....
Tho road loading through Hickory Gap, over
which Hie main body of our forces has been march
ing, is In good condition, and unusually wide, giving
great facility for the movements. From Dallas to
Atlanta the country is opon, with splendid.roads, *
Everybody believes Atlanta will fall before a week
rolls around. . .
I Have not heard whether tho rebels burned the
railroad bridge ovor tho Etowah or not, But I do
know that every timber neoded to replhceithas'
been made, and is now ready to find its fellow. In
fact, the measurement of every bridge from Dalton
to Atlanta has been obtained by Oolonol W. W.
AYright, and duplicates constructed ready to bo
erected instantly. . -
Our trains continue to run to Klngston.and Romo, r
though it is plain that Johnston can, if he chooses,:
advance and reoccupya point in our roar. Shor- :
man seems perfectly indifferent to thik fact. His
armv have rations for a mareh to Atlanta, over and
o Between Cassvlllo and Kingston a body of
rebdl cavalry burned fifty wagons;- loaded with
forage, on Friday, beyond which-the enemy has
shown ntT symptom of accepting'our Invitation to
attack our rear.
OC RCAPITREB AT ROMK,
A AYc captured a small steamboat in tho Coosa
river at Boino, large quantities of rsuppllos and
cotton, and, several largo iron foundries. A million
dollare’-worth of cotton, was burned. The place
was captured by General Jotf. Davis, whose divi
sion numbered less Ilian the garrison, who fled upon
being nssuredhy o/memher of our advance guard

A New Arctic Expedition.
The .. following address has been issued on behalf
of Oapt. r C. F; Hall, the well-known Arctic explorer,
.who is about to start on a new expedition, of,vrhich
he is tho §plc force. An enterprise so novel and so
brave, and promising such-important results, can
hardly fail to commend itself to all who are interested
and believe, in the importance of
"knowledge; of tho Arctic regions. .Tho
quires is so small that, we presume, it will t&TTaised
without difficulty: . V
TO THE PUBLIC.
Oapt. U. F. Hall—who, : twenty months ago, re
turned from a two years and four months’ oxplora
‘ tion of the Arctic region—intends to set sail on the
15th June for another and more thorough voyage of
discovery.' He has been engaged during the interim
in prejinring an account of ,his first explorations,
which will shortly be issued by Messrs. Harper &
Brothers. During his former voyage Captain Hall
lived among the Esquimaux, acquired their lan
guage, and satisfied himself, by. actual asd pro
longed experiment, that he can live with these poo
.ple m safety and health. He brought home with him
a family-of Esquimaux, who will return with hint to
assist in his future explorations. In short, Captain
Hall is prepared, as no other explorer has been be
fore him, for making a thorough investigation of the
important, portion of Arctic land and water, to
which he proposes to devote himself.;
This region holds . stlll-a part, and an important
portion ot the secret of thciil-fated Franklin expe
, dition, which our,countryman hopes and confidently
'expects to lay bare.: It is, moreover, of interest and.
value to our whaling and sealing interests; and. the
reports on the natural, history of the unexplored
territory which ho will visit ..will possess beside great
scientific value. These considerations, which have
led him todevote the best years of his life to Arctic
research, induce also those whose names arc ap
pended to this notice to ask their fellow-citizons to
join them in procuring for the brave explorer such.
an outfit as shall set: him fairly on his way, and
enable him to . perform thoroughly the task he has
set himself. Qur; countrymen Have won an honor
able fame by their courage and endurance in Aretie
research. It is therefore not lit that one who has
already shown such porscvcrauce, fortitude and in-
Senuity in his previous voyages as Captain Hall has
one, shall be permitted to leave our shores lacking
anything which, can further his laudable object. _
The proposed exploration has enlisted thesympa
thies of our.most prominent scientific men. .especial
ly geographers, as well as tho help of enterprising
whaling firms. Several important contributions
have already been made toward Capt. Hall’s outfit.
Mr. Eichard H. Chapel!, of New London, Conn.,
who is intimately : connected with the well-known
house of Williams & Havens, gives a free passage
to the Arctic regions to him: and his Esquimaux m
one of his ships—the Monticcllo, E. AV.CUapeU, 4 of
Hudson, New York, master—and carries for him, in
addition, his boats and his. entire outfit, free of
charge. This noble and liberal act relieves the ex
plorer of one of the heaviest items of his oxpense.
Capt. Henry Eobinson,- of Newburg, contributed
$1 ISO, Prof. Bache offers to furnish some necessary
scientific instruments. Mr. Tagliabue, of this city,
has given meteorological instilments to the amount
of $lOO. Prof. E. S. Newton, M. 13., of this city,
oilers to supplyj in connection with other gentlemen
ofbls profession, the medical stores'needed by Capt.
Hall for his voyage of three years.
It should be understood that Capt, Hall takes with
him no sailing vessel; but on arriving at the scene
of his labors will leave the ship which bears
him there, and trust thereafter to his boat and
sledges, and to the hospitality of tho Esquimaux,
He hopes to return in about three years. :
In order to complete the outfit, a sum *>f about
thfee thousand dollars is yet requiredand while it
is Capt. Hall’s intention to sail at any rate, whether
thoroughly fitted out or not, it is .hoped that our
public spirited citizens will not permit this intrepid
explorer to depart from our .city- lacking anything
which can help to preserve his life, or enable him to
perfect his .explorations in the inhospitable regions
whither he is bound.
Subscriptions in money, or donations In kind of
supplies or goods for the expedition, may be handed
to any of the undersigned, who will see that they
,are properly applied in aid of this praiseworthy:

Oste of the most remarkable, if not the most genu
ine analyses of Garibaldi’s character yot written, is
given by the London Economist in thcjollowlng
terms ■
“He is not a statesman; ho is not a wise man jin
political sagacity, in range of inind, in intellectual
powers, he is indisputably below par. His preju
dices are vory strong, his capacity of appreciating
other men and other views ,is singularly narrow,
his insight into character defective in the ex
treme,. and his want; of judgment almost
matched among great : military and revolution
ary leaders... H|s : extraordinary strength lies in
the enthusiasm which pervades his own spirit, find
which, just because It So pervades him, he is able to
communicate to and sustain inothers. .IBs solo great
ness, and it is a most real and rare sort, lies in the
childlilic purity of his nature, in his unegotistic ge
nerosity, in his unswerving singleness of. purpose.
He lias faith to remove moimtaius, and ho lives and
acts among a people where faith has more power
than over our cold Northern temperaments. But
unfortunately his faith is promiscuous and unslft
ing. He has faith in special providences, in wild
schemes, in weak men, and in bad men. He Is easily
impressed,: easily bamboozled, easily misled. He
is, in fact,-sm intensely amiable, affectionate, be
lieving, - unsuspecting child*. He iiovor could bo
broughtto trust Oavour, or to. mistrust A r ictor
Emanuel.”

Tlie "Watertown Daily Reformer relates an anec
dote of Gen. Grant. It says : 11 When the General
lvas a young lieutenant, he was stationed for some
time at Sackett’s Harbor, and to thoso days paid
frequent visits to our village. He was a fatuous
checker player, and was wont , to spend many an
hour at the old American Hotel in tills absorbing
game. But there was one of our citizens {whose
■ name.we are forbidden to montion) who could beat
the lieutenant at his favorito game. But young:
Grant would never give up, and would Insist on lus
competitor' playing with him until he came out
ahead, which he would, at last, always do. To se
cure this end he sometimes kept his friend up nearly
all night, and would stay in town three days, study
ing his long-headed moves, and forcing his opponent
to play until he beat him in the {end. If the man
declined playing when ho was ahead, the lieutenant
was’ offended* and thought him ungentlemanly in
. the extreme.. Grant is now playing checkers in the
: same style with Lee on the Virginia board.”

. Gazzanigahas been lately playing at the Car

Zacconi, a substitute, sang, pleasing so well that
she'was enabled to make a condition that she should

the anger of the latter, a lawsuit was the result,

The stock market was very dull yesterday, and prices
continue: to move downward. All the Government
loans were quoted lower—viz: the bonds of ’SI at 112,
. tbe'seven-thirtiee-at IQ9@UO, and the five-twenties at
105#. There were largo sales of jhe latter, establishing
a decline of since the daybefore. Gold opened weak
in the morning, but advanced somewhat towards the
close of tho day. Beading, shares fluctuated consider
ably daring the day, closing at ah advance. Northern
Central Railroad shares declined ;Little Schuylkill sold
npto43l£; and Catawissa preferred to 4‘2>£. There was
very little doing in bonds: North Pennsylvania sixes
sold at IC3?L no change; and Lehigh Valley Railroad
hoods at 110. Susquehanna Canal shares declined to
22J*;TJnion Canal-preferred stock sold at A\% ; Morris Ca
nal sold at S6K. The coal companies were neglected.
Butler sold down to 19—a decline of 3 since Monday;
New York and Middle was steady at 20; andNorthCar
bondale at 3X; Fulton declined >£. Oil stocks were en
tirely overlooked, the sales being confined to a few lots
of Oil’Creek and Alsace at lower raies.
The rumor in relation to the Secretary of the Treasury
being forced to call on the banks of New York, Phila
delphia, and Boston for a loan of fifty millions of dollars
has no foundation. We learn that the necessitiesof the
Government are not so pressing at present as to require
him to resort to such a measure. The ten-forty loan now
yields nearly a million and a half a day, and when the
liabilities of the country h4ve accumulated in excess of
tbatamount to such.an extent as to demand a. sudden
and extraordinary use of funds, he has the proposed six
per cent, legal tenders within his power to issue, as well
as the rightto throw additional bonds of the loan oflSSl,
or the seven* iliirtydreasmy notes, on the market, either
of which description of securities would command a
premium of twelve to fourteen per cent.
Yesterday was the day fixed for the conversion into
currency of the two-year five per cent. Treasury Notes. \
The subscriptions to the ten-forty loan will, it is. ex
pected, he doubled after this date. .
