doah Valley, he called Howe across the river, and on the day when Milroy was driven from Winchester, June 15, 1863. he moved rapidly northward, with his whole force, to Centreville and its vicinity, keeping his cavalry well to his left to watch the passes of the Blue Ridge, while intent, himself, upon covering Washington. The National authorities, as well as those of Maryland and Pennsylvania, had, meanwhile, become thoroughly aroused by a sense of danger. The Government had just created June 9. two new military departments in Pennsylvania. The eastern, under General Couch, was called the Department of the Susquehanna, with Headquarters at Harrisburg; and the western, under General Brooks, the Department of the Monongahela, with Headquarters at Pittsburg. The Middle Department was under the command of General Schenck, Headquarters at Baltimore.

These re-enforcements raised the number of Sherman's effective force nearly to what it was when he moved from the Chattanooga region. By losses in battle and in hospitals, and the detention of detachments at Resaca, Rome, Kingston, and Allatoona, his army was considerably diminished when he reached Ackworth. His communications in his rear being now secure, he moved on to Big Shanty June 9. where before him arose the Twin Mountain of Kenesaw (Big and Little), with Lost and Pine mountains forming with it a triangle, on each of which the Confederates had signal-stations. Batteries covered their summits, and thousands of men were busy in the dark forest, casting up intrenchments from base to base, in a connected chain, in preparation for a great struggle. Cannon on the summit of Great Kenesaw completely commanded the beautiful town of Marietta. There Johnston, with the Chattah
