a resident of Petersburg, had his breast
pierced by a bayonet and his head muti

GRAFTS TACTICS AFFAIRS ON THE LEFT

in the'r front many ghastly evidences of
the determined valor of our troops. Grant
has been worse whipped and more com
pletely out generated than any other Fed
cral commander of the war. Scouts from
within the enemy's lints report that he is
continually drunk and his only order is,
"Go ahead, boys.''
The Sentinel of the 9th says that a scout
who has spent some days in Grant's lines
jay that the Yankee soldiers speak of their
loess in the battles of last week, as fully
equal to those sustained at Spottsylvania
C. II , if, indeed, they be not greater here
than on the former battle ground.
The Atlanta Intelligencer of the 10th
says that Johnston has offered the gage
of battle several times during . the past!

f tIjclr foroeH thev will bo able to
carry
the two greatest points in the campaign
Richmond and Atlanta. The Philadel
phia Inquirer iu urging the policy says :
A dispatch ti the Cincinnati Gazette,
jfrom Meadow Bluffs, West Virginia, states
that General Crooks' command has started
jou jt!. second expedition .this time, it is
believed, to join the army of the Potomac. '
It is also announced that General Hunter, j
in command ot Sigel s army, is moving in
t.i . . it. . i . .. r il

Nrtlll'ret' 11,1 ler aeneral Vo?, said
his command, to resist, and shcrt woik
will be made of the seigo of Richmond. -
This concentration, we apprehend, is the
true nrinciwlo of determined, viirorous
' , '
warfare. It gives strength, and. strength
Minder tlie command ot such a irencral
as
Grant, must bring victory, as surely as ef
fect follows cause.
(den, A. J. Smith, with his command,
it is also said, is fn ro'd". for Chattaa oga.
perhaps to reinforce Sherman, while at
the same time tlie Ia4ter is being strength,
ened from every available source. The
rebels arc no doubt pursuing the same
policy, and in a very short time the con
tending forces on both sides, will be mas-
d at the sreat objective points of the
campaigti, Richmond and Atlanta, and
the defeat td" the rebels at both places will
be Waterloo defeats.

Your readers have not forgotten "Colum

intendent Gill found him yesterday hang

him decently buried. The Yankees hung
him because he helped our wounded men
to water when Capt. Cole's Battery was
in action, and President Ellis assures me
thai he also served a gun until his strength
gave way. The Yankees burnt his little
house on tho side of the railroad, and as he
was going through the woods to cret som?
silver he hsd buried near his house, the
laokecT caught him and hung him up.

A MAN OF TRUTH.
AVc are pained beyond measure to learn
that a number of Gen. u ran fa eneiwies iu
this city are about to deprive him o. hi
well e.rned title, "The Butcher of the
ildeiiiess," and substitute in li. 11 there
of H13 disagreeable and unjust appnlla ion
of 4Thc-Liar of Cold Ihubor.'' As the
warm personal friend of Gen. Grant, we
undertake to say that, however fond he
nny be of blood, he ia not a liar. It is
true that Mr. Secretary Stanton, that pat
tern of all the virtues, in one of the in
teresting despa'.chi.s which he delights to
send daily to Gen, l)ix, in New York city,
undertook to give an account makes no
ment:on of the operations of the morning ,
which resulted so unfavorably for General
Grant. But a moment's observation will
show that Stanton gives only so much of
Grant's dispatch as will do to go before a
public, and now tor some time past, la
boring under a nervous tremor in regard
to the fi iunces. Stanton docs not sav that

from t.cn. (,ra it slates'' so and so : bid.
be it re linked, he does not say this'isall
Gen. Grant states. On the contrary, after
repealing -Gen, Gran t'j account d a few
trilling successes which attended his arms
on that fatal Friday, he (Stanton) comes
out with the astounding announcement
that our entire los, "according to tlu Ad
jutant General' Jiepori," does not exceed
7 500. This is somewhat of a stunner, in
.seited adroitly by Stanton in order to nre-
so n appear ih the daily papers.
