Jackson, with his three divisions under Jones, Lawtonts, reported six rifled guns in position, but Jackson ordered him not to open fire until McLaws wasce was located, was beyond it. Meanwhile, Jackson arranged a direct assault upon Bolivar HeightAll was ready by the morning of the 15th, and Jackson had the game in his hands.

The second document, by Lt. Bacon, adjutant of D'Utassy's brigade, concerns the paroling of the Federals. O. R. 27, 552. A difference arose between Col. D'Utassy and Gen. Branch, in charge of the details, as to the meaning of the words will not serve against the Confederge, was refused until the matter was adjusted. D'Utassy claimed that they might go West and serve against the Indians. The question was referred to Gen. A. P. Hill who refused to admit that understanding. This was about 9 P. M. About 6 A. M. Lt. Bacon reports that he —-- handed the muster-rolls to Gen. Hill at his headquarters and asked a pass for the brigade. Hill asked if the brigade was paroled. I replied, evasively, I thought so.

ve the Federals from Kentucky. Kirby Smith, with an army of about 15,000, from Knoxville, had opened the road through Cumberland Gap, and on Aug. 30 had won a victory over a Federal force at Richmond, Ky., and on Sept. 2 had occupied Lexington. Bragg, with about 30,000 men, from Chattanooga had moved northward up the Sequatchie Valley, and, crossing the Cumberland Mountains, was, on Sept. 5, at Sparta, Tenn., turning the Federal position at Murfreesboro, where Buell was in command with about unity was offered for similar strategy. Others were offered later, as we shall see, whenever one of the Confederate armies, from any cause, was free from the prospect of an early attack by its opponent. On this occasion, the joint campaign of Bragg and Smith in Kentucky, and the Maryland campaign, both failed. Had we utilized our interior lines, one of them at the least should have been made sure.
