se different passes in presence of an adversary free to move on the opposite eastern slope of the mountain. The two railroads which run out of Chattanooga in an eastern direction intersect each other, and then continue to run apart, the one to Cleveland on the north, and the other to Dalton on the south on the direct line between Knoxville and Atlanta. As this last line passes away from Chattanooga, Dalton is the central point which opens or closes the entrance to the rich districts of the se, and he had been obliged to reduce the rations allotted to his troops. On the other hand, the retreat of the Army of the Cumberland rendered the occupation of East Tennessee much more important, for, as this army no longer menaced Dalton and Cleveland, it was only on the banks of the Holston River that the Federals could occupy the direct line, so useful to the Confederacy, from Lynchburg to Atlanta. It was therefore necessary that Burnside should remain in East Tennessee. Rosecrans was as

the head-waters of Citico Creek. He is so engrossed with his plan, in accordance with which the Army of the Cumberland is to be set in motion only after the first success by the left wing, that he does not even think of recalling this essential condition to Sherman, to whom he confides all his projects. But if the enemy's right, thanks to the inactivity of Thomas, holds its own until nightfall, if Sherman cannot throw it back sufficiently to the southward to bar Bragg out of the road to Cleveland, is there no danger that the latter may avail himself of the night to evacuate without loss his positions and gain the eastern part of Tennessee? This is what it is important to avoid at all hazards. Provision must therefore be made for a check which might befall Sherman. In that contingency it is for Hooker that Grant reserves the task of turning the enemy's positions. It is against Bragg's left wing, thinned out to defend his right, that the decisive attack will be directed. Altho

avoiding an engagement with the enemy if the latter remains quiet, but ready to attack him vigorously if he proceeds to Cleveland, or to push as far as Dalton if he evacuate that point. The different divisions temporarily collected under his ordeavalry is in the field on the left bank of the Tennessee River. On the next day he learns that it has appeared between Cleveland and Charleston. At last, on the 26th and the 27th, first the report of a great battle, then of a disastrous defeat, spd of finding his chief he would throw himself into the arms of an enemy strong enough to crush him. Soon he learns that Cleveland is in the power of the Federals, and he immediately recalls his trains, already on the way to the south. It was well fng back the rest of his troops to this last town. His columns, which are following only one road along the railway, by Cleveland and Tyner's Station, reach on the 16th and 17th the battlefield of November 24th. Davis' division is immediately retur

nth and Twelfth corps, under Hooker, are established between Bridgeport—where they support Logan—and Chattanooga. The Fourteenth corps has its quarters east of this city. The Fourth corps occupies the entire lower part of East Tennessee, from Cleveland, where Stanley's division, commanded by General Cruft, is, to London, where it connects with the Army of the Ohio. Under protection of these two divisions the section of the railroad comprised between Cleveland and Loudon is promptly repaired;Cleveland and Loudon is promptly repaired; Matthies brigade of the Fifteenth corps has just relieved, in the latter town, Cruft, who has advanced south as far as Red Clay in the direction of Dalton. Long's cavalry is posted at Calhoun on the Hiawassee, between the two divisions of the Fourth corps. The railroad between Stevenson and Chattanooga being again in order, direct communication is thus established between East Tennessee and Nashville—a most essential condition for the safety of the Army of the Ohio.
