YTols.l’ionx—The latest illus-isident Lincoln, is thusKenesaw Mountain, Juno 27,1804. Dear Gazette:—Gan I write where so. I much confusion is kept up in our front, j caused by the “Linkum” shells thrown by our expert gunners? I will first say that our brigade has been living in ttfc ground for several weeks past, and occasionally coming up. amoiig the “Johnny’s” when a terrible little affray will follow, lasting for hours. We have betm (hiving and digging after the rebels since the first of May, and have had some pretty hard battles, which are called “Kesaca,” Oassville,” “ Pumpkin- Vine,” “Golgotha Church” and‘*Kene--saw.” We arc yet before the Kenesaw,or rather behind it, and it is thought that when General Sherman gets every thingreadv, Joe Johnston will have to run as*- /, fast as J. C. Fremont will, if he is elected President. , -It would require too much time, in this critical ditch, to give details of all that lias happened, even to the Morgan county company since the beginning of the campaign, suffice it to say, that in all pur battles the Morgan county boys have stood to the work like men. The*70th regiment has been by our side on all occasions, and Capts. Tansey’s and Cunning’s comparcies did honor to themselves, their country,and to Morgan county. We visit neighboring companies and regiments only at night as the rebel sharpshooters “go for us-,” if we raise bur .heads above the works, therefore I do not' know how' Captains Cunning or Tansey, or their men look. I should suppose, howuver, very well, as they talk big for Lincoln and Johnsoii. Capt. Day1 and IPs company are wrell and make use of all the rations allowed. Captain fie a ton is on the right, and Captain Whitson is on the left. Captain W. is at Summerville hospital, sick.As there has been no account of casual-ities, in company H, sent you, I offer a list. | for the information of our friends: Woun- j ded at Re sac a, May 15—John R.

During our travels in Georgia, and at. different places, we had the following boys struck by spent balls-, which did not excuse them from duty but a few days and who remained with the company :— Isaac I. Weaver, Daniel T. Taylor, William Burkhart, Henry Jones, and Samuel G. Burton. Out of 01 men for duty at the commencement of the present campaign we now have, for duty, 58; having lost, by wounds and disease, 33.Out of a full complement of commissioned and non-commissioned officers, appointed at the organization of the company,wc. now have, fit for duty, one Lieutenant,one Sergeant, and four Corporals. We naturally feel somewhat lonesome after loosing so many of our brave and noble-hearted comrades. Our constant Captain, who has torso long stood by us as a father, through all the trying difficulties and privations attached to war, was wounded and carriedfrom us. The moment was too critical, time too precious, for any one to steal a gaze upon our brave Captain, as he was borne beyond the forest on that dripping litter. Adieu, Captain, may we all meet again. Lieut. McKinney,, a soldier and a gentleman, is also wounded, and has our good wishes and prayers for his reed very. We will do the best we can during their absence, and no opportunity will be lost to preserve the reputation their endeavors have won for the company. We tenderly consign them to the care .of friends at home, while we “march on to battle,”Lieut. Jeff. C.
