ttanooga appears reasonable, and it was verified so far as the reduction of the army with Rosecrans to the verge of starvation. But the position assigned to or taken by Longstreet did not keep the Bridgeport route closed. Maj.-Gen. U. S. Grant, who had been given general control of Federal operations in the West, replaced Rosecrans with Thomas, arrived at Chattanooga over the mountains on the 20th of October, and about a week later, two corps from the Federal army in Virginia, Howard's and Slocum's, under Hooker, took possession of Bridgeport and the river almost up to Lookout mountain. Supplies immediately began pouring into Chattanooga. Generals Bragg and Longstreet examined the Federal operations from the summit of Lookout on the 28th, and Geary's division being seen approaching, the divisions of Jenkins and Law, four brigades, were sent against it to make a night attack.

The latter apprehension was due to the fact that Slocum had been ordered to advance from the Chattahoochee on a reconnaissance. General Hardee remarks in this connection that Ge unavoidably lost. At Jonesboro Sherman heard the explosions at 2 a. m. and 4 a. m. of the 2d, and thought that perhaps Slocum was making a night attack on the city. But that officer postponed his triumphal entry until later in the morning of the

Slocum with one corps moved out eastward via Decatur, with orders to burn eduction of the lines before Savannah. On the 17th he sent in from Slocum's headquarters on the Augusta road a demand for surrender, and on twest of the city. Sherman, having next arranged for the assault by Slocum, went to Port Royal by boat to urge the movement against the Charlen Hardee's column, and at 10 o'clock the ironclad was blown up. General Slocum had discovered the evacuation at 3 a. m. on the 21st, and his che destruction of 3,500 bales of cotton and 191 miles of railroad.
