To withstand them four regiments came from Dodge; Inspector-General Strong led thither two from Blair, armed with repeating-rifles; and my chief-of-artillery placed several batteries so as to sweep that exposed flank. These were brought in at the exact moment, and after a few rapid discharges, the repeating-rifles being remarkable in their execution, all the groups of flankers were either cut down or had sought safety in flight. This battle was prolonged for hours. We expected help from Morgan's division of Palmer's corps, coming back from Turner's Ferry; but the Confederate cavalry kept it in check. Our troops here exhibited nerve and persistency; Logan was cheerful and hearty and full of enthusiasm. He stopped stragglers and sent them back, and gave every needed order. Blair was watchful and helpful, and so was Dodge. After the last charge had been repelled I went along my lines, and felt proud and happy to be intrusted with such brave and efficient soldiers.

lroad in rear, by which means the Confederate army could, with ease, have been provisioned. In lieu of the foregoing operations, the battle of Jonesboro' was fought, and on the following day, September 1st, at 2 A. M., Lieutenant-General Lee, with his corps, marched from Jonesboro' to the vicinity of Rough and Ready, and so posted his troops as to protect our flank, whilst we marched out of Atlanta at 5 P. M. the same day, on the McDonough road, in the direction of Lovejoy's Station. Generals Morgan and Scott, stationed at East Point, received similar orders to protect our flank during the retreat. Upon our uninterrupted march, information reached me that Hardee's corps was engaged with a large force of the enemy. His position upon a ridge with an open country in rear relieved me from special anxiety in regard to the safety of himself and command. Lieutenant-General Stewart, nevertheless, was instructed to hasten forward to his support, and General Lee to follow promptly with

en removed, was destroyed by burning the wood-work. The buildings about the fort, hospitals, quarters, stables, etc., were fired and cleared away as far as possible. During the day, two monitors, three sloops of war, and some gun-boats engaged the fort for several hours — the wooden vessels at long range — with but little damage on either side. Soon after, a flag of truce was reported from the fleet, bringing me a communication to this effect: Brigadier-General R. L. Page, Commanding Fort Morgan. Sir: To prevent the unnecessary sacrifice of human life which must follow the opening of our battteries, we demand the unconditional surrender of Fort Morgan and its dependencies. We are, respectfully, your obedient servants, D. G. Farragut, Rear-Admiral. Gordon Granger, Major-General. To which I sent the following reply: Sirs: I am prepared to sacrifice life, and will only surrender when I have no means of defense. I do not understand that while being communicated wi

Hood's invasion of Tennessee. by Henry Stone, Brevet Colonel, U. S. V., member of thee staff of General Thomas. On September 28th, 1864, less than four weeks from the day the Union forces occupied Atlanta, General Sherman, who found his still unconquered enemy, General Hood, threatening his communications in Georgia, and that formidable raider, General Forrest, playing the mischief in west Tennessee, sent to the latter State two divisions--General Newton's of the Fourth Corps, and General J. D. Morgan's of the Fourteenth--to aid in destroying, if possible, that intrepid dragoon. To make assurance doubly sure, the next day he ordered General George H. Thomas, his most capable and experienced lieutenant, and the commander of more than three-fifths of his grand army, back to Stevenson and Decherd . . . to look to Tennessee. No order could have been more unwelcome to General Thomas. It removed him from the command of his own thoroughly organized and harmonious army of sixty thousa

urn Hazen back and have him report to you. It was not yet dark when I rode away carrying an answer to your message. It was after midnight when I got back, the ride back being so much longer in point of time because the road was full of troops, it was dark, and my horse-flesh I was used up. General Carlin's division of the Fourteenth Corps had the advance, and as the enemy exhibited more than usual strength, he had deployed his division and advanced to develop the position of the enemy. Morgan's division of the same corps had been deployed on Carlin's right. Colonel H. G. Litchfield, inspector-general of the corps, had accompanied these troops. I was consulting with General Jeff. C. Davis, who commanded the Fourteenth Corps, Reproduced from the memoirs of General William T. Sherman (New York: D.
