As the sentries and staff officers stand outside the shel-tered tents, General Thomas, commanding the Army of the Cumberland, is busy; for the fighting is fierceto-day. Johnston lias been outflanked from Kenesaw and has fallen back eastward until he is actuallyfarther from Atlanta than Shermans right flank. Who will reach the Chattahoochee first. There, if any-where, Johnston must make his stand; he must hold the fords and ferries, and the fortifications that, withthe wisdom of a far-seeing commander, he has for a long time been preparing. The rustic work in the pho-tograph, which embowers the tents of the commanding general and his staff, is the sort of thing that CivilWar soldiers had learned to throw up within an hour after pitching camp.
