horoughly protected Dodge's left at Dallas. Meanwhile, John A. Logan, commanding the Fifteenth Corps, had taken on the inspifor battle-and was veering off to the right of Dodge. On Logan's right, clearing the way, and, like the cavalry opposite, ch attention as possible, was Garrard's cavalry command. Logan was intensely active on the approach of battle. His habitu was moving along in a column, and the cavalry, assisted by Logan's artillery, were noisily driving in the enemy's light troos far off to the right beyond the crossroads at Dallas. Logan's and Dodge's advance, substantially two heavy skirmish lile the battle of Pickett's Mill was fiercely going on, both Logan and Bate kept up between them artillery firing and skirmish the most part; those in front of Oosterhaus's division (of Logan) gathered under shelter of a deep ravine, and then rushed e Dodge and Davis in place and prevent them from reinforcing Logan.

This business of approaching prepared parapets, from the rough nature of this wooded country, was perplexing and dangerous. In the general turning toward Atlanta, Dodge, who came next beyond Schofield, had been crowded out of the line, so that Logan with his deployed front running nearly north and south, came in facing toward Atlanta, not far from the Howard House; and Blair was stretching to the left and south as far as he could to Bald Hill which, ever since the battle of Gresham and Leggett, has been called Leggett's Hill ; it was situated just in front of his left flank. Meanwhile, some of our cavalry, with a brigade of infantry, was busy in the work of destruction along the Augusta railroad as far back as Stone Mountain. This J
