t Grayson, however, on the 1st of October, John Morgan abandoned the contest, to seek a new field for the exercise of his superior partisan skill and high courage; and on the 3d we reached the Ohio River at Greenup [see map, p. 6], without the loss of a gun or a wagon, and with the loss of but eighty men. Not only that, but, as General Bragg states in his re port, we had detained General Kirby Smith, and thus prevented the junction of the Confederate armies in Kentucky, long enough to save Louisville.

ound Morgan's position impregnable, detached a part of his forces to invest it, and, advancing on Lexington, defeated the Federal forces encountered at Richmond, Ky. He was relying on an early junction with General Bragg. On the 17th of September Generals Polk and Hardee were called to a council at Munfordville. With the map and the cavalry dispatches out-spread before him, General Bragg placed General Buell and his army in our rear, with Munfordville on the direct line of his march to Louisville, the General Braxton Bragg, C.

Our advance was then resumed, leaving General Buell to pursue his march unmolested. This action was subsequently severely criticised by military men, and at the time it was greatly deplored by many officers of his command.

To gain more time, Morgan wanted to extend the raid by a wide sweep beyond the Ohio, but Bragg would not consent. Morgan set out from Burkesville, on the 2d of July, with 2460 men and 4 guns, ostensibly to execute Bragg's orders, but really bent on carrying out his own plan. Although ten thousand Federal troops under Generals Hartsuff and Judah were watching the Cumberland at various points, Morgan skillfully effected the difficult crossing, overcame Judah's opposition, and rode nort

I left Cairo Stanton dismissed the special train that had brought him to Indianapolis and accompanied me to Louisville. Up to this time no hint had been given me of what was wanted after I left Vicksburg, excepother relieved Rosecrans and assigned Thomas to his place. I accepted the latter. We reached Louisville after night, and, if I remember rightly, in a cold, drizzling rain. The Secretary of War told caught a cold on that occasion from which he never expected to recover. A day was spent in Louisville, the secretary giving me the military news at the capital, and talking about the disappointmenpend the evening away, both Mrs. Grant (who was with me) and myself having relations living in Louisville.

once to see the position before he gave his approval to it, cannot be gainsaid, but there is not the slightest reason for doubting that Thomas would have made the same move with the same men and with the same results, had General Grant been in Louisville, from which place he had telegraphed the order putting Thomas in command of the Army of the Cumberland. General Grant does not overstate the importance of this movement to the army. It gave at once to the army food and clothing, with forage fofully carried out in the Brown's Ferry movement, under the supervision of the chief engineer as to the details. As General Smith says, Thomas would have made the same move with the same men, and with the same results, had General Grant been in Louisville. General Smith says that General Thomas is entitled to the credit of the successful consummation of these plans. Certainly he is as against the claim of General Grant. But as to Rosecrans, let us see what General Thomas himself says. In h
