NINE MILES SOUTH OF LA
FAYETTE, GA.,
October 15, 1864.
(Via Selma 17th.)
Hon. JAMES A. SEDDON,
Secretary of War:
This army struck the communications of the enemy about a
mile above Resaca on the 12th instant, completely destroying the railroad,
including the block-houses, from that point to within a short distance of
Tunnel Hill, about four miles of the Cleveland railroad, capturing Dalton and
all intermediate garrisons, with their stores, arms, and equipments, and about
1,000 prisoners. The main body of Sherman's army seems to be moving toward Dalton.
J. B. HOOD,
General.
