Pursuit was immediately made. McPherson and Schofield pushed forward to attack him in flank as he crossed the river ; but Johnston had covered his movement too well. He had in- trenched a tete-de-pont at the Chattahoochie, with a strong intrenched advance line at Smyrna camp- meeting ground, five miles south of Marietta, and four north of the river. Thomas's column moved forward to the. Railroad, and turned south in pursuit. Arrived at Smyrna, 158 THE SEVENTY-FIFTH ILLINOIS. Thomas found him, h...is front covered by a formidable parapet, his flanks behind the Nick-a-jack and Rotten- wood creeks. Grose's Brigade led the advance of the First Divi- sion, and at nightfall of the 3rd, commenced skir- mishing with the enemy. The brigade halts, and the pioneers construct works in an exposed position, losing three men wounded. The Fifty-ninth Illinois, of Grose's Brigade, has the honor of being the first to enter Marietta. The 4th of July was made memorable by pushing a strong skirmish line down the main road to Smyr- na camp ground, capturing the entire line of the enemy's pits, and making strong demonstrations along Nick-a-jack Creek and Turner's Ferry.
