rders, and the attack is put off until the following day. In the evening there comes a very heavy rain which will last more than fifteen days. Nevertheless, on the 26th, toward ten o'clock in the morning, Thomas has taken a position with his four divisions. While Reynolds and Negley, engaging the enemy at Beech Grove, shall uncovut as early as the 26th, but the rain has rendered muddy the bad road which will take him, through the Barrens, as far as Manchester. McCook, not in motion on the 26th, receives in the evening orders also to move on Manchester, and, there being no direct route leading to Beech Grove, he is obliged to retrace his steps across Libeh the second column, which had come from Columbia via Creelsborough and Albany. The two others, much more numerous than the preceding, united at Chitwood's on the 26th, the one having started from Somerset under the orders of Hartsuff, and the other, under the immediate direction of Burnside, having followed, after leaving Crab O

On the 26th, Smith conducts Hazen and Turchin to Brown's Ferry, and, thanks to the indiffereer part of his own cavalry, leaving before Kingston only Hart's command. On the 26th the Confederate general thus finds himself at the head of ten infantry brigades ely for the Confederates, Hooker was delayed during the course of the day on the 26th. However, he early set his troops in motion, and no fog interfered with their pa via Rossville. It is thus expected that the equipage will arrive early on the 26th, and will enable the entire right wing promptly to cross the river. All the colnot start with the equipage and the brigade of pontonniers till very late on the 26th. Hooker, as Buell does not appear, at last concludes to improvise a passage ove

th that of the pieces in the first parallel. The work, that time, suffered but little, but the Federals, thanks to this silence, could set up their new batteries without trouble. The Confederate guns on James Island, which had opened fire on the 26th, also remained quiet, no doubt so as not to draw the fire of the besiegers on works yet unfinished. Putting the second parallel into a state of defence was more difficult. Space and soil alike were lacking to give sufficient extension and elevm with cannon and marines to arm and serve one of the breaching-batteries. It was, however, necessary to continue the approaches. An effort was made to dislodge the Southern sharpshooters from the sandhills they occupied by establishing on the 26th, in the fourth parallel, naval howitzers and coehorn mortars. The fire from these pieces not having produced the desired effect, that same day, toward seven o'clock in the evening, two regiments of Terry's division captured the position and welln

He found there Winslow's cave and sends detachments down the river from this town on the right bank of the Tennessee. On the 26th one of these detachments encounters a Federal regiment at Blue Water, and is compelled to retreat division, under Granberry, to disembark at Tilton, and forwards it upon Snake Creek Gap. On the 26th, at daybreak, he easily dislodges Harrison and drives him out of the gap. The appearance on hiainst Sherman had just disclosed their presence in front of him. He started his army corps on the 26th, and established himself on the 27th in the valley of the Chickamauga-Davis at Rossville, Johnsons short of cartridges, and has only three thousand when, about nine o'clock in the morning of the 26th, Forrest sends another message to offer an exchange of prisoners and another demand for surrender
