Bragg: To day the enemy is moving his forces from his right to his left. Prisoners and citizens represent his cavalry and transportation animals in a suffering condition in every respect. This army is in a healthy condition. In partial engagements it has had great advantage, and the sum of all the combats amounts to a battle.
