Creek, about two miles from its mouth, in plain view of Colonel Garrard's pickets. I have sent a squadron - perhaps 200 - mounted infantry in that direction. At last accounts General Schofield was going on with his movements.

R. R. TOWNES,

Assistant Adjutant-General.

HEADQUARTERS LEFT WING, SIXTEENTH ARMY CORPS, Near Atlanta, Ga., August 8, 1864.

Lieutenant Colonel WILLIAM T. CLARK,
Assistant Adjutant-General, Dept. and Army of the Tennessee:

COLONEL: General Corps reports that he is now (8.45 p.m.) within forty yards of the top of the ridge on which the dead trees are. He says on one advanced on his left until just now, there being some misunderstanding in the matter. He is about advancing to the top, but I judge the enemy is holding the ridge pretty stubbornly. General Corse is intrenching the ridge this side, and if he gets the other to-night will intrench that. In accordance with your orders I have directed my front line to move into the new works at 6 a.m. to-morrow. If I understand the ground the Twentieth Corps should move up also, or it will expose General Corse's left, especially if he should gain the farther ridge. General Ransom is intrenching his line where Major-General Howard directed. The enemy has attacked General Corse twice, but so far he has held all the ground taken to-day.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

G. M. DODGE,

Major-General.
