ich Halleck was moving. A spy by the name of Andrews, who was in Buell's service, represented early in March that with a party of six trusty men he could destroy the bridges between Chattanooga and Bridgeport, and also the important bridge over the Tennessee, at the latter place, and thus effectually prevent the enemy from using that route, either to reinforce Corinth or to return to Middle Tennessee.

General Polk reports (p. 1110): The whole of our force, including all arms, did not exceed 15,000. In March, 1888, General Buell wrote to the editors: This probably did not include the cavalry.
