The Daily Dispatch: September 12, 1863., [Electronic resource], From the army of Tennessee. (search)
eedlessness, daring, or curiosity, on the part of the unfortunate one. This morning about daylight there was quite a spirited exchange of missiles, which startled the sleeper from his dreams of home and reminded him that he was in the midst of an active contest between two armies, manœuvering for every advantage before the deadly conflict shall decide the fate of each. Apparently reliable rumors say that the enemy has crossed in some force at Shell Mound, and is making his way down Wills Valley. Our commanding General must have some confidence in the report, as the fine brigade of Brig.-Gen. Preston Smith, commanded by a soldier of tried metal and merit, was last night dispatched across Lookout Mountain to watch the movements of this force. It is only feared by our most sagacious officers that these rumors are not correct, or at least that Rosecrans is too wily a leader to risk his army or any large portion of it in a position where his destruction will be speedy and certain.
