(Received 2.15 a.m. 6th.)

Major THOMAS T. ECKERT:

General Sherman's headquarters to-night ten miles from here. McPherson reached railroad at Acworth, and Thomas is four miles west at the Burnt Church. Johnston fell back to strong position in front of Marietta. The officer in charge of repairs of railroad says will take ten days from to-day to rebuild bridge over Etowah, but pontoon train has gone there, and will lay a bridge there to-morrow. I shall be at front. Army will rest now.

I. The Twentieth Army Corps will move at daybreak across Mason's Bridge, over the Allatoona Creek, and take up a position on the ridges in the angle between the road to Big Shanty and the one leading south, to the east of Lost Mountain, right resting on Allatoona Creek.

II. The Fourteenth Army Corps will follow the Twentieth, and take up a position across the Sandtown and Marietta road and the road leading from Maloney's to Moore's Station.

III. The Fourth Corps will follow the Fourteenth, turn to the left after crossing Mason's Bridge upon the road leading to Acworth, distant four miles, and take up a position holding that road and the Sandtown and Marietta road.

IV. The First Cavalry Division will remain in its present position, whence Colonel McCook will send out pickets upon the roads converging upon the front of the army.

V. The roads will be left for the artillery and wagons, the troops marching through the fields parallel to the road. The wagons will follow the troops in order of corps, and park in rear of them.
