The Daily Dispatch: October 28, 1863., [Electronic resource], Wanted--1,000 negroes. (search)
From Gen. Bragg's army. [from our own Correspondent.] Army of Tennessee, Oct. 23, 1863. We have interesting news from East Tennessee, some account of which you have doubtless received ere this by telegraph. In this, as in the matter of Wheeler's expedition, however, I can only furnish you with a general account, leaving it to some one who was present to supply the details. I learn from a well-informed source that two dispatches have been received by Gen. Bragg from our cavalry foGen. Bragg from our cavalry forces operating on the line of the East Tennessee Railroad. These forces consist of two brigades, commanded respectively by Col. Morrison, of Georgia, and Col. Dibbrell, of Tennessee. The first dispatch states that they attacked the enemy's cavalry on the 21st inst. at Philadelphia, about sixty miles from Chattanooga by the railroad, capturing 400 prisoners, their artillery, small arms, camp equipage, &c. The second dispatch states that the Confederates pursued the remainder of the Federal forc
The Daily Dispatch: October 28, 1863., [Electronic resource], Narrative of Wheeler's Circuit around Rosecrans. (search)
Narrative of Wheeler's Circuit around Rosecrans. The circuit of Gen. Wheeler around Rosecrans appears to have been one of the most dashing episodes of the Western war. The division of cavalry left Gen. Bragg's army, and by the morning of the second day had gained the summit of the famous Walden's Ridge, from whence its work was to begin. A letter from a participant, published in the Atlanta Register, gives the first connected account of the exploit, and from it we take some interesting extracts: Towards nightfall the rain fell in torrents on our devoted boys. The roads soon became almost impassable and dangerous from the mire produced by the passing columns. By 1 o'clock in the morning we were in the Valley at Foster's Cross Roads, leaving several ambulances behind on the ridge, broken down. Two hours more and Gen. Wheeler was on the wing again, with five regiments of Martin's division, to destroy the enemy's trains at Dunlop. In this he was completely successful withou

him back to prison. A. L. Maxwell, the great railway bridge builder of the South, is under arrest, paroled, and required to report to Burnside every morning. Dr. Wm. Baker, George Mabry, (not the General,) and Mr. Moulding, are the only citizens deemed Southerners who have not taken the Federal oath. The Yankees have given several concerts in Knoxville. The front seats are assigned to the negro wenches of the city, who are escorted to church and to places of amusement by Federal soldiers and officers. Negro balls are frequent, in which the belles are Ethiopian damsels, and Federal officers the gayest gallants. The Federal at Knoxville, have not the most remote idea that Bragg contemplates a movement on that city. They were engaged in plundering the country everywhere. Great numbers of people from the country have come into the city begging for bread. The most devout Unionists are disgusted and maddened by the acts of infamy and despotism constantly perpetrated.

see, when they should resume active operations, not to pass on the banks of the Cumberland, but to plant our banners permanently on the banks of the Ohio.--This, he believed, would be done. As the humble representative of the people he returned them grateful thanks to the army of Tennessee for what they had already accomplished, and fervently invoked the blessing of Almighty God upon all officers and men comprising it. The President's remarks were rapturously and repeatedly cheered. Gen. Bragg was then instill called for and responded, briefly and pointedly, as follows. "My brother soldiers: It would be presumption in me to attempt to address you after what has been said to you by our distinguished Executive. You can make better speeches than I can — such as you have made from Shiloh to Chickamauga, at Richmond, Perryville, and Murfreesboro'. It is my officer to record your speeches for you, and this I have endeavored to do to the best of my ability. I therefore return you my

ate letter relative in the late battle of Chickamauga. The writer labors under the impression that the Confederates were commanded by Gen. Johnston, instead of Gen. Bragg, who was in command: I think we ought to have bad, and did have, seventy-five thousand men and two hundred and seven pieces of artillery in action on Sunds in killed and wounded is as great, and perhaps greater than our own, and we have some 1,500 prisoners. When Rosecrans commenced his movement on Chattanooga, Bragg lay there with about 25,000 men, which was amply sufficient to hold the place against any force which might attack in front, on from the north side of the Tennessehat is, from the north side of the Tennessee river.) while he, with Thomas and McCook, should cross Lookout Mountain, and come in the rear of the town, cutting off Bragg from all reenforcements, and making him either come out on the open field, and risk all on the fate of a single battle, when he had the choice of the ground and a
