I take it for granted from the tone of the public press and from the position McClellan is in, that he will move now as soon as he possibly can. His enemies, with skillful ingenuity, are trying to sow discord between him and Halleck, Grant and Buell, proclaiming that he claims all the credit of their victories. I am sorry to say I hear people talk this way who ought to know better, and from all I can learn McClellan's star is rapidly setting, and nothing but a victory will save him from ruihey were checked and defeated in the object they had in view, yet it was not a triumphant victory on our side; for had the gunboats (against which they had no means of operating) not been present, they would have destroyed Grant the first day and Buell the second. camp at Catlett's Station, April 19, 1862.

the value that lay in striking a sudden blow before Buell could join Grant. He himself had hoped to move his ngly Johnston at 2:30 p. m. All that night, Don Carlos Buell's hardy army of the Ohio was coming down the Tled, 8,012 wounded, 950 missing; total 10,680. With Buell's army, the total Federal force was about 72,000. Tr all practical purposes, separated from Halleck and Buell. This furnished Beauregard with a plan. He quicklyly fought battle of Perryville, on October 8, 1862. Buell, after having been summarily relieved from command, neage is so clearly traced in his steady character. Buell's whole army was not with him when he came upon Hardwith only 15,000 men. Had that army been behind him, Buell might have defeated Hardee where he met him. Half ofng himself attacked, fell stoutly on McCook, holding Buell's left, and bore him back helplessly. Tug as he might, Hardee could not break Buell's center. After a fierce fight, stubbornly maintained, Bragg suddenly withdre

campaign the great conflict on Chickamauga Creek Adams' brigade Turns the Federal line action of other Louisiana commands. The next encounter of the armies was in Tennessee. Rosecrans, the new commander of the army of the Cumberland, vice Buell, gave the command of his center to Thomas. Thomas acted throughout the campaign as his military adviser. None better could he have had than this soldier—as prudent as he was daring, as successful as he was prudent. About the middle of November Bragg advanced to Murfreesboro. From this point he planned to lay distant siege to Nashville. Rosecrans' own objective was Chattanooga, as had been Buell's, but his first aim was to sweep Bragg from his front. Bragg, who had gone into winter quarters, was quickly aware of Rosecrans' purpose. It was on Stone's river (December 26th to January 5th) that the army of Tennessee and the army of the Cumberland met for the mastery of the fields of Tennessee. If we read the rival reports both com

As early as January, 1862, McClellan, then general-in-chief, wrote to Buell, who was in command in Kentucky: There are few things I have more at heart than the prompt movement of a strong column inive movement, however, was made in this direction, until after the evacuation of Corinth, in May, 1862, when Halleck sent Buell, with more than forty thousand men, across the states of Alabama and Tennessee, to Chattanooga. But, Bragg started for the same point, nearly as soon as Buell, and, by a series of skilful manoeuvres, compelled that general to fall back to the Ohio; after months of marching and fighting, Buell was further from his goal than when he set out from Corinth, and, accordinBuell was further from his goal than when he set out from Corinth, and, accordingly, was relieved.
