Johnson orders them to follow Dodge's movement. The order is executed in time by Willich; but Baldwin, attacked in turn by Deshler,. At two hundred steps from the enemy's works Polk is checked by the fire from Starkweather and Dodge. His soldiers return the fire with spirit, but the Federals, being well protected and almost in

the charge. Before leaving Iuka, Sherman attends to the moving of reinforcements on Chattanooga. Eight thousand men, drawn from the Sixteenth corps, form under Dodge a large division, which is immediately started on the way by Hurlbut; McPherson sends by water, to Memphis, Tuttle's division, which closely follows Dodge. On theDodge. On the other hand, Grant, in instructing Sherman to sunder his communications with Memphis, at the same time guarantees to him the provisions which he is no longer able to draw from that city. Halleck wished that Sherman should restore the Memphis and Charleston line as far as Stevenson, so as to be enabled to accumulate a considerable at Louisville and was necessary to re-establish the bridges destroyed between Columbia and Stevenson. In order not to delay the Fifteenth corps, Grant assigned to Dodge's division the task of protecting that work.

Grant has resolved to scatter his armies during the bad season in order the easier to subsist them, and to form at the same time a cordon able to resist a raid by the enemy's cavalry, the only operation which he may attempt just now. Leaving to Thomas all the region between Bridgeport and Chattanooga, he instructs Sherman to post the Fifteenth corps, whose command General Logan has just assumed, on the railway which borders the Tennessee from Stevenson as far as Decatur.

Such was no longer the case in the month of January, 1864. There were remaining on the banks of the Mississippi but a part of the Sixteenth corps, united under Hurlbut at Memphis, more than one-third of this corps having, with Dodge, followed the tracks of Sherman eastward, and the Seventeenth, which under McPherson was occupying the vicinity of Vicksburg. These forces, comprising six divisions of infantry, and one of cavalry under Grierson, were too few in number to allow detaching from them for any length of time a whole expeditionary corps.
