Its Real History Told for the First Time—Bloody, Useless Butchery. An Attempt to Draw Attontlon and Applause from Grant to Shorman, A Sclfish Sacrifice of Brave Men for Personal Ends. Correepandence Cinetnnatt Garette, Wastrsaton, April 24—A correspondent of the -Guzette enlls for_n history of Gen, Sherman's assault on Kenesaw Mountain. ‘This writer styles It the most deliberate slaughter ond cold-blooded muriler ever per petrated,’? Ie doubtless forms his judgment from what has long been known of tho Alstory of that battle, While this ts quite sufficient to Justify the verdict which ho pro- nounces, hls are mild words of condemnation compared with those which litherto secret Mstory makes it proper ta use with regard, to that turriblomurder, Binek.ns ts that paro upon which the seeupted story of Kenesaw is written, tt will henceforth take on darker’ colors from the additional fact in its history Which has lately becotuy accessible, Concisoly atated, the new and terrible fact is this: GEN. SHERMAN ONDEREN THF ASSAULT upon the impregnable Konesnaw for the avowed purpose of drawing the attention nnd the wild applause of the country away from. the army under Gen. Grant, upon whieh both were then turning, and fixing them upon hisown, For this he hitrled two of his ar. tnles {n needless sacrifice ngulnst this mount- Ain, n€ no cost of nenrly 3,600 offivers and men, For this, even after the reports of a bloody fallure, he ordered a second assault, and was only turned from tis purpose by a stern pro- test from Gen, Thomas, Said this brave of- ficer, SICK AT NEART OVER THY NEEDLESS SLAUGHTER of his army, and congelous of the terrible wrong Intlleted. upon it, ta the stuf ofticar aie brought’ the suggestion of anothor ns- salts 3 “Say to Gen. Shorman that this army has maiden desperate, usuless, aud unsuccessful assanit ata grenteost, If nnotherisordered, twill bo ayalust my beyt judgment and most carnest protest.” , When such a soldter as Gon, Thomas as- sumed the responsibility of returning this reply to what was really on order for attack, Itserves to throw a vivid light pon the act of the commanding General. ‘The real history of Kenesaw alluded to fbove, now for the first thus made nubile, 13 this: Sherman's three armies lay in trontot “tho Rebel position at Kenesaw. About the 2h ot dune, two oflicers of prominence, both well known to tho country, called in tho evening at Gen, Shernm's tent, and spont some thd dn discussing the sttuation, While they were resent, tho extentied accounts of Ger, irant’s success in thinking Lee, crossing tho James, and establishing hingelé in the rear of Petorsburg arrived. ‘These accounts shower UNBOUNDED ENTHUSIASM AT TIE NonTit. Tho twwapupera wore filled with articles -reficeting the loud acclaim of a grateful people for the great success of tho Eastern army. Suddenly. 1s one of the ollicers pres- ent relates, Gon. Sherman, who had been looking through the account, broke out with Ils usual Impetuostty of Inneunees “Well, this anny tng got tudo somethin, now, ‘Tha whale attention of the country is fixed on Grant's movements, ‘Thatarmy has the entire abpliusy ofthe poeple. Now, we have got to de some fighting, and atonce, I WILD ONDER AN ASSAULT on the mountain to-morrow.” “ But,” sud one of the oflleers present, “Goneral, that will be simple butchery, ‘Tho position cannot be taken by assault, and you ought not to aacritice men in nn attempt to ‘To this Gen. Sherman replied by ropeating that tho country was forgetting thom, Its at- tention was fixed on Grunt, and all ‘its Hi plunge was Invished on him and on hls army, * Wo've got to do something to change this; wo must fight; and Lshnll order prep- aratlons for the assault to-morrow. Both ofticers then, seelng that he was sorl- ous In his declarations that he would order an attick on the mouttain, became more emphatic in thoir protests, and told him plainly that from thelr observation of tho position it could not be carried, and that an assault would be simply: A MUTCHERY OF IS TRoOrs,— a butchery useless, uncalled-for, and such a3 he had no right to order, “To nil this argu- nent Gen, Sharman turned as deat enr, only.

Io ndvised thom that It would be wiser to {et tho majority take tholr courso and then denounce them for it. 2 The nuusing part of the day’s session be- gan when Mr. Brown read a targe number of oxtracts from Northern journals, in which tha Republican Senators ware critictyed for malintainlig thelr “present position, Mr, Brown agreed to nilow Senators to say whether the journals In question wore Ro- publican or not, bit ho presonted them all as Republican opinions, “Several of the jonr- uals quoted aro generally recognized as jn- dependent In polities, nnd the political lts- tories of some of those wero svt forth in re- Jnarks which were made by Senators. When Gen, Hawley's paper was reached, that Sen- ator explained that the Journal in question was undoubtedly Ropublican, but that it was not always quite right In his absence, Mr. Brown rend these extracts in support of hls assertion, mado in answer to. Mr. Burnside, thatthe Republican papers had called the Ma- hone movement inthe Senate the result of 0 corrupt bargain, While the extracts wore being presented, Mr. Burnside created ngrent deal of aimusemont by his tnterruptions and comimonts, Ho always speaks with refreshing candor, During is controversy with Mr. Mr. Butler the other day the «asserted severat tines, belng most empliatie In his statements, - that lie was cool nnd not excited. «Today he romarked that he would not ERY. iio was cool, for it he should say so ho would bring down Te House, ais nnd otter exprasatons aado he Chamber ring with laughter. When Mr, Trowit had finished n first in- stallment of extracts Gen. Hawley prt hin on tho defensive by Foadine portions of a re- portof the procecdings of the National Re- publican Convention of 1808, describing Mr. rown's appearance in that Convention aso Ktepublican, and the enthuslasm with which ho Wag recelyed ag a genuing convert, Mr. Brown's nddresson that occasion was quoted, Jn Jt ho announced that he was a recon structed Rebel and a lopublican, and do- clared that Georgiy could ba. carried for Grant if the executive patronage of the Stale should be given to the Republicans in It Thoy must have the patronage, Gen, Hawley pointed to this, show- ing that Me. Brown was anxious in 1808 for such a bargain as he now allo; had beon made with Mr. Afahone, and whieh ho so unsparinely denounced. Not only was he anxious for such a bargain, but the bar galn was tnde,and Mr.* Brown got. hig ree wart In the oles of ChivfJustice of the State, So completely unanswerable was this speech of Gen, thaw! wy that the Senate and ho spectators Inugherd loudly at Mr, Brown's discomiittre. Gen, Hawley continued, say- ng that befure lily recent election Mr, Brown besought the sid of Republicans against tho Hourbons, and that the Republicans in the Senate had had every right to uxpect hin to take a seat on the Republican side,—In fact, 8 bettor right than they lind to expect theco- operation of Mr, Mahone, Jn closing, he de scribed Mr, Brown as swinging from side to side and taking grout prizes from both par ties, and now he lectured the Republicans about bargains, After tho Inughing had ceased Mr, Brown made along and dreary expinnation of his political wanderings, and the Senate soon. aftorward adjourned until Tuesday, Sa Tho Morals of Art.
