Johnson, with the right column, pressed forward and crossed at Read's Bridge early in the afternoon, after stubborn resistance, and advanced westwardly about a mile to a steam saw mill, wheeled to the left, and at night bivouacked nearly opposite Tedford's ford. Walker, with the brigade's of Liddell and Walchall, met the enemy at Alexander's Bridge and drove him across the river after a severe fight, but was forced to move further down the stream and cross at Byron's ford in consequence of the destruction of the bridge by the enemy.

He was ordered to reach Daugherty's Gap, at the head of McLemore's Cove, that night. On the person of Brig--Gen.

On the 17th orders were most urgent and often repeated for him to move up, and on the night of the 18th and morning of the 19th nearly the whole of his corps appeared on the field of Chickamauga, where Thomas had preceded him, and where Crittenden had halted.

ght Sunday morning had been obeyed. Indeed, had his orders here and in McLemore's Cove been carried out, there is not little reason to doubt that the Confederate army would to-day be in Nashville or beyond, instead of at Dalton and Ringgold. Whose fault is it that we are not now well on the way to the Chief. Is it Gen. Bragg's? Let the people do justice, even at the cost of inveterate prejudices. Let us conclude this account, already too long, with the following apposite extract from Napier's Peninsular War: "When Sylis, after all his victories, styled himself a happy rather than a great General, be discovered his profound knowledge of the military art. Experience had taught him that the speed of one legion, the inactivity of another, the obstinacy, the ignorance, or the treachery of a subordinate officer, was sufficient to mar the best concocted plan — nay, that the intervention of a shower of rain, an unexpected ditch, or an apparently trivial accident, might determine t

rmer between Chattanooga and the base of Lookout, and the latter about five miles above Chattanooga. There are several good roads in the cove, the intersection of the principal one of which with the road leading from Stephens's Gap, through Dug Gap, to Lafayette, constitutes what is known as Davies's Cross Roads. It having been ascertained that the force in the cove did not exceed eight or ten thousand men, comprising, it was subsequently learned, two divisions of Thomas's corps, under Negley and Brennan, Gen. Bragg determined to crush them by a combined movement of a superior force. Accordingly, on the night of the 9th Gen. Hindman, of Polk's corps, was ordered to move his division rapidly into the cove (by the Anderson road) to Davies's Cross Roads, where he would communicate with Gen. Hill, who was at the same time ordered to send or take Cleburne's division from Lafayette by the Dug Gap road to the same point, the combined force to fall suddenly upon the enemy at the foot of

and there demanding a peace from our insolence. Notwithstanding the mortifying failure of Gen. Hindman in McLemore's Cove there was still another opportunity, which, if promptly taken advantage of, promised hardly less brilliant results. This was to turn upon Crittenden, who, having crossed the Chickamauga with a part of his corps, and sent the remainder in the direction of Ringgold, advanced beyond Lee and Gordon's Mills, and crush him before Thomas or McCook could reach him. Forrest, Pegram, and Armstrong, had with a small force of cavalry been bravely contesting his advance, but still he continued slowly to progress.--The plan here indicated was immediately determined upon, and the next day, (Saturday, the 12th,) General Polk was ordered to move his corps and Walker's division to Rock Spring, about midway between Lafayette and Lee and Gordon's Mills, and fail immediately upon Crittenden, whose forces, it will be borne in mind, were not concentrated, a portion having gone in th
