The enemy's artillery firing was very accurate and effective. 6.30 p. m., General Wood, (in accordance with General Thomas' instructions) commenced to withdraw from the front, General Johnson's troops relieving him, and to move over to our right and little in the rear, taking the position held by McLean's brigade, of Schofield's corps, and pushing McLean over to the right, thus endeavoring to close the gap between McL[ean] and the rest of troops of the Twentythird Corps, and make our connection with the same. A request was also sent to General Schofield to connect with McLean. General Wood was instructed to strengthen his position during the night.

s command to the railroad bridge by order of General Beauregard. Thus my plans were overthrown, a train of cars burned laden with public stores, and a few yards of the railroad track displaced. I beg leave to call the attention of the general commanding to the gallant manner in which the officers and men under my command conducted themselves before the enemy. The entire command numbered 76 enlisted men-parts of three companies-commanded by Captains Parish, McKnight, and Morton (Lieutenant-Colonel Mcl:airy present). The enemy had near 2,000 of our sick prisoners, which were released upon examination of the damages done at the depot. I found the house burned; also that 6 corpses and 3 live soldiers, who were too sick to help themselves, were burned on the train and in the depot house. I am, colonel, very respectfully, your obedient servant, W. R. Bradfutje, Colonel, Commanding Cavalry Outpost. Major Kimmell, Adjutant-General, Army of the West. No. 94.-report of Lieut

After a sumptuous feast prepared and served by the fair hands of our patriotic southern girl, I walked out to see my sweet cousin, Mrs. McL——, and returned just in time to jump on the train as it was moving off. At nine o'clock in the evening we reached Chattanooga, having executed a flank movement wonderful in its conception, rapid in its execution, and pregnant with great results. We have changed our base of operations, right-wheeled around the flank of the enemy, and transferred the theatre of war from Mississippi to Tennessee. We are after Buell, and may expect the tug of war before many days. Sunday, August 3d.—Walke<
