We gain ground daily, fighting all the time.

On the 21st General Stanley gained a position near the south end of Kenesaw, from which the enemy attempted in vain to drive him; and the same day General T.J.Wood's division took a hill, which the enemy assaulted three times at night without success, leaving more than a hundred dead on the ground.

Yesterday the extreme right (Hooker and Schofield) advanced on the Powder Springs road to within three miles of Marietta.

The enemy made a strong effort to drive them away, but failed signally, leaving more than two hundred dead on the field.

Our lines are now in close contact, and the fighting is incessant, with a good deal of artillery-fire.
