el right, but was defeated with loss by Col. Preston Smith's brigade; when his right was successfully turned by the Rebel left, Gen. T. J. Churchill, and routed in a daring charge; whereupon our whole line gave way and retreated. The Rebel Gen. Pat. Cleburne, afterward so distinguished, was here badly wounded in the face, and succeeded in his command by Col. Smith. Gen. Cruft, with the 95th Ohio, had reached the field just before, and shared in this defeat; but he had three more regiments coing on Harrodsburg; where he was joined by Kirby Smith and Withers; retreating thence southward by Bryantsville to Camp Dick Robinson, near Danville. Bragg admits a total loss in this battle of not less than 2,500; including Brig.-Gens. Wood, Cleburne, and Brown, wounded; and claims to have driven us two miles, captured 15 guns, 400 prisoners, and inflicted a total loss of 4,000. Buell's report admits a loss on our part of 4,348--916 killed, 2,943 wounded, and 489 missing; but as to guns, li
pike; interposing between our army and its supply-trains, whenever they should have flanked our right and gained our rear. According to Rosecrans's plan, McCook, however strongly assailed, was to hold his position for three hours, receding — if attacked in over-whelming force — very slowly, and fighting desperately; which he had undertaken to do. But there was a serious mistake in the calculation. Before 7 A. M., Hardee's corps burst from the thickets in McCook's front and on his right; Cleburne's four brigades charging vehemently its extreme right, Cheatham's and McCown's divisions striking it more directly in front, hurling back our skirmishers at once on our lines, and crumbling these into a fleeing mob within a few minutes. Of the two brigade commanders in Johnson's division, holding our extreme right, Gen. Kirk was severely wounded at the first fire; while Gen. Willich had his horse killed and was himself captured. So sudden and unexpected was the attack, that a portion of o
ed his bulletin Hooker pursues to Ringgold Cleburne checks him in a Gap in White Oak Ridge Sherment; that the orders were impracticable; that Cleburne, who commanded one of his divisions, was sick made on Johnson's front just at sunset by Pat. Cleburne, ( the Stonewall Jackson of the West, ) wsion first, then Cheatham's Tennesseans, then Cleburne's, and finally Stewart's, were sent to the sud — with McLaws's, Preston's, Breckinridge's, Cleburne's, Stewart's, Hindman's, Bushrod Johnson's diomely repulsed, with very heavy loss, by Maj.-Gen. Cleburne's command, under the immediate directionch to rally. Lt.-Gen. Hardee, leaving Maj.-Gen. Cleburne in command on the extreme right, moved tnggold; but was so handsomely checked by Maj.-Gen. Cleburne and Brig.-Gen. Gist, in command of theirr, close on the heels of the flying enemy. Cleburne was now in command here — a man always hard tantry crowning the ridge on either hand, that Cleburne was persuaded to continue his retreat; having
the Rebel intrenched lines stretched unbrokenly from Dallas to Marietta, over a most difficult region, wherein days were necessarily spent by Sherman, amid continual skirmishing and fighting, in making careful approaches. He had just ordered Schofield to advance our left and flank the enemy's right, when Johnston struck heavily at our right at Dallas, held by McPherson. But this attack gave our men the advantage of breastworks, and was repulsed with loss; as one made by Howard's corps on Cleburne, farther toward the center, was repulsed by the enemy. Our army was now moved June 1. to the left along the Rebel front, enveloping the Allatoona pass, and compelling the enemy to evacuate it; as he soon after did his intrenchments covering New Hope church, and Ackworth also. Allatoona pass was promptly garrisoned by Sherman, and made a secondary base of supplies: the railroad bridge across the Etowah being repaired, and our trains down the road run to this point. Gen.

Thomas had but five divisions of infantry at the front; but he had collect — the wounded being cared for and the dead buried — we moved forward toward Nashville: Forrest with his cavalry pursuing the enemy vigorously. The loss of Pat. Cleburne--the Stonewall Jackson of the West --would of itself have been a Rebel disaster. He was an Irishman by birth, who had served as a private in the British army;
