with a view to rest his troopers, had led them into the peaceful valley of the Coosa. His two divisions, under Wharton and Martin, were near Rome in Georgia and at Alexandria near Jacksonborough in Alabama —the one seventy-four miles and the other one hundred and five from Bridgeport. The first had detached a regiment to guard the entire bank of the Tennessee River from Bridgeport to Guntersville. Another regiment, sent by Martin, kept open his communications with Roddey's outposts near Decatur. The front of the Confederate army was therefore effectually covered only by a brigade of infantry and a regiment of cavalry. This army, as we have said, was much weakened; it had not yet received any of the promised reinforcements. Bragg, seeing himself separated from Rosecrans by an obstacle which he deemed to be insurmountable, had proposed, on the 17th of July, to Johnston to transport all his forces into the State of Mississippi and to combine them with Johnston's to crush Grant.

going to spring upon the rear of Rosecrans. On the evening of the 30th the bulk of these forces is collected near the crossing called Cottonport Ferry, where the Decatur and Washington road crosses the Tennessee. Although he is obliged to send away a portion of Forrest's cavalry, whose horses are either foundered or wounded, stilSherman would willingly avail himself of this to transport his army corps to the opposite shore, for the rebuilding of the railway and the guard over it as far as Decatur will take much time and oblige him to leave numerous garrisons behind him. But Halleck has given express orders. Sherman therefore commands General Blair to marcrom Nashville to Columbia. The only thing to do was to occupy and repair it from the latter city to its junction with the Memphis and Charleston line in front of Decatur, and to reconstruct this last line from the junction to Stevenson. The transit was thus shortened by sixty-two miles. The road, protected by the Tennessee River,

not be followed by any wagon, but a steamer ascending the Tennessee, loaded with provisions for ten days, will resupply them at Cottonport, between Washington and Decatur. With a view to supporting this movement and employing his cavalry, Grant instructs General Elliott to quit Alexandria with two brigades, to march on Kingston, we instructs Sherman to post the Fifteenth corps, whose command General Logan has just assumed, on the railway which borders the Tennessee from Stevenson as far as Decatur. Dodge, recently arrived at Pulaski with a detachment of the Sixteenth corps which is almost equivalent to two divisions, will occupy the railway connecting DecaDecatur with Nashville. Thus shall be preserved two lines of supply, without counting that by the river. The position of the Confederate Army of the Tennessee will not take long to describe. We left it on the day following the battle at Ringgold covered by Cleburne, who occupied Tunnel Hill, and massed at Dalton, unable for a time
