s. They reached the place with their brigades on the evening of the 13th. General Gregg, the senior of the two, reported to me on my arrival at night. See telegram to Secretary of War, Appendix.

On the 6th, while still there, I received a dispatch from General Bragg, asking that a division of infantry might be hurried to Atlanta, to save that depot and give him time to defeat the enemy's plans.

During this time a single line of Federal infantry was engaged with Wheeler's troops, the skirmishers of Featherston's own, and Adams's brigades, and those of Quarles's brigade of Walthall's division — all in the shelter of rifle-pits.
