Colonel Lyon’s Letters.
Stevenson, Ala., Sun., May 22, 1864.—The troops from the rear, which have been relieved by the 100-days men, are constantly passing through here. We keep hearing rumors that we are to be relieved in the same way before long, but I have nothing authentic on the subject. I should not be surprised, however, if the rumors turn out true and we go farther south; but as usual it will probably be after the fighting is over.
We get no particulars from the front except that Sherman is pushing on for Atlanta. I had a telegram from him yesterday, dated Kingston, Ga. The army, I learn, is some distance beyond there.
