ovember 25, when, in reply to a telegram, he learned that Steedman could raise 5000 men (in fact, 7000), in addition to all ft at Chattanooga to threaten enemy in rear. Thomas to Steedman, November 25: War Records, Vol. XLV, part i, p.1050. As others along the railroad south of Duck River, as well as Steedman's, might have joined the main force at Columbia, if orderincredible that General Thomas had not thought of sending Steedman's troops from Chattanooga, instead of waiting for the unc bridge in case of an advance in force. I have asked General Steedman how large a force he can raise to threaten the enemy' Thomas had concentrated all his available troops (except Steedman's, which he appears to have overlooked until the 25th, anhe whole route, and finally came into this place. Major-General Steedman, with five thousand men, should be here in the mor When he arrives I will start General A. J. Smith's command and General Steedman's troops to your assistance at Brentwood.

ably. Finally he got across the Duck River above, and made for Franklin via Spring Hill. I headed him off at Spring Hill with a division, and concentrated at Franklin. There he made the heaviest assaults I have ever seen, but was fairly repulsed and terribly punished. In fact we pretty much knocked all the fight out of him on that occasion, and he has shown very little since. Now I reckon he has n't any left. I barely succeeded in delaying Hood until Thomas could get A. J. Smith and Steedman to Nashville, when he became abundantly strong, and after getting Wilson's cavalry together moved out and gave Hood a most thorough beating with all ease. The fact is, Hood's army showed scarcely any fight at all. I have never seen anybody except Jeff Thompson so easily beaten. Stoneman has cleaned out Breckinridge and destroyed the salt-works and everything else in southwest Virginia; so all together matters are in pretty good shape in this part of the military division. Thomas has

of a general character were given by General Thomas, either oral or written, on the 16th until after he had visited the different commands. The report of General Steedman, dated January 27, 1865, says: December 16, at 6 A. M., in obedience to the orders of Major-General Thomas, my command moved on the enemy's works. It is noer these orders were oral or written. No copy of them appears in the records, nor any mention of a personal interview with General Thomas or any of his staff. （Steedman was the man who published a falsehood about an alleged telegram from me to Grant about Thomas. See page 296.) General T. J. Wood's report, dated January 5, 1for the preceding day— namely, to outflank and turn his left—was still to be acted on. Before leaving me, the commanding general desired me to confer with Major-General Steedman, whose command had moved out that morning from Nashville by the Nolensville pike, and arrange a military connection between his right and my left.

he might succeed to the command of our army as the general next in rank to Thomas, . . . and he was watched and exposed to Thomas. This boastful avowal by James B. Steedman of his own crime in making reports which were false and slanderous to his commanding general must doubtless be accepted as conclusive proof of his own guilt.statements, repeated in this volume, of what occurred in the council held at Nashville on December 9, 1864. It does not seem probable that one such man as James B. Steedman could have exerted such a powerful and baneful influence over General George H. Thomas as that which now appears to have governed his action. There must, it would seem, have been some others, as Steedman asserted. If so, it is time for them, if living, to come to the front and claim their share in the work of falsifying history, of poisoning the mind and heart of their great and noble commander, causing his untimely death, and endangering his great reputation as a man of honor, trut
