He had pass" cd me and was inside the tent, and half turned round as.I spoke to him. He is a spare built ^ man of medium height, with a head of average c size, iaiflifaQe, Roman npse, good, but not com- v roanding forehead, and an eye like a hawk? fi dark grey in colour, quick, glancing, restless, a showing fire there, but indicating also an irritable temper and uns 'mpathetic nature. That is,.the first impression the leader of our armies " of t.llo \\'ncl mifln r?rt inn '' He was dressed in plain bltie.pants and vest; C bis hat and coat were off; he had one bbot and P one felipper on ; an unbleached linen shirt and v blue woolen socks. t1 His eye showed that he Wa6 not id one of ii his best humors, as he broke the silence with? "Milledgeville's m good place* Savannah's i' another." ? lie spoke a few more sha'rpshooting scntenccs-of that sort, when I explained the object of P ni}* visjt to him.

Lie did not be- *' lieve that any would be found in Atlanta. v When ashed whether he would forbid agents s , tfe> operate within a certain distance from the front, he. replied that he had nothing to say in t the matter. No!
