ilroad. Forrest, watching at Kingston the eastern part of Tennessee, was too far for his outposts or reconnoitring-parties to be of any service to Bragg's army; Roddey was still farther, at Tuscumbia, where he was watching the Corinth road. Wheeler, with a view to rest his troopers, had led them into the peaceful valley of the d a regiment to guard the entire bank of the Tennessee River from Bridgeport to Guntersville. Another regiment, sent by Martin, kept open his communications with Roddey's outposts near Decatur. The front of the Confederate army was therefore effectually covered only by a brigade of infantry and a regiment of cavalry. This army,e Southern cavalry, waiting for the liberation of these brigades, made strong demonstrations in the direction of Jackson with the view of keeping the enemy away. Roddey, who had remained at Tuscumbia, also made similar movements on his side. The reinforcements thus furnished by Johnston had hardly arrived at Atlanta when they we

McMinnville, Tennessee, on the 7th of February. On the side of the Confederate cavalry they are preparing to resume the offensive on the first opportunity. General Roddey, whose brigade has been reinforced to almost the strength of a division, gathers boats below Florence and sends detachments down the river from this town on tson that the cavalry may do much greater service by being united to his army than by fighting at random far from the great battlefields, was not long in recalling Roddey to the vicinity of Dalton. It is true that scarcely has the latter arrived when an order from Richmond requires him to return to the vicinity of Florence. Nearl Rawlinsville, but, not having succeeded in meeting Thomas' cavalry, which was to come from Trenton to lend him help, he turns back the following day, followed by Roddey, who dares not attack him, and recrosses the Tennessee on February 4th.
