eans of communication, this detachment could reach the scene of the struggle sooner than any other reinforcement forwarded. It was the duty of the authorities at Washington to prove they were not afraid at so grave a time to weaken the army charged with the protection of the capital. The Government understood this duty, and on the 23d of September the order was given to Meade to send the Eleventh and Twelfth corps to the city of Washington. As we said in the preceding volume, Howard and Slocum, who were in command of these corps, left on the following morning the banks of the Rapidan, and conducted their troops to the capital, where they were joined by General Hooker, their new chief. Numerous trains were also in readiness to convey these twenty thousand men, with their artillery, ammunition, and baggage, by way of Cincinnati and Nashville, as far as Bridgeport; and within six days this army and its materiel were transported over the distance of nine hundred and ninety-four miles

It was necessary to cover the rear of Hooker, secure the navigation of the Tennessee, and reopen to the trains the direct road from Jasper to Chattanooga. General Palmer, with two brigades, was assigned to the duty of following this last route as far up as Rankin's Ferry, and occupying Shell Mound and Whitesides on the 28th. The opening of the bridge, fixed for the 27th, was entrusted to Smith. For
