ce were marching through Arkansas to invade Missouri, while Kirby Smith had set out to cross the Mississippi and co-operate with the troops opposed to Sherman. These dispositions not only made it necessary to send A. J. Smith to the support of Rosecrans, who commanded in Missouri, but compelled Canby to abandon any idea of reinforcing Granger before Mobile. On the 29th of August, Grant said to Halleck: I agree with you it would be hazardous and productive of no special good to send Gordon Graussed the capture of Wilmington and the topography of its waters; considered the value of Mobile and the possibility of Southern independence; proposed reinforcements for Meade and campaigns for Canby; glanced at the side movemints of Price and Rosecrans; treated of Hood's army and the Appalachicola river; but nevertheless narrowed itself down to a definite answer to Grant's inquiry and a positive plan for his own army, which did not differ materially from that suggested by the general-in-chief

is on the retreat, with no probability of his bringing up again, Rosecrans should forward all the troops he can to Thomas. This ought to bes chief of staff, General Rawlins, as bearer of special orders to Rosecrans. In his instructions to Rawlins he said: .. Now that Price is reifty thousand soldiers, besides the force that was promised from Rosecrans. As you foresaw, and as Jeff. Davis threatened, the enemy th new regiments and conscripts arriving all the time, also. General Rosecrans promises the two divisions of Smith and Mower belonging to meect the movements all over the continent, of Canby and Foster and Rosecrans, as well as of Meade and Butler and Sheridan, so that all should sy conveying forces and stores for the same object; the troops of Rosecrans, and Canby, and Foster, were all in motion, and their operations he reported to Grant the approach of Hood, he also announced: If Rosecrans's troops can reach Eastport early next week, I shall have no fur

ain to-morrow morning, with the assistance of the [gunboat] Cincinnati, now at Clarksville; and I am in hopes he will be able to clear them out. Thus another avenue of communication with Thomas was cut off. The Cumberland river was closed. Rosecrans, who had commanded in Missouri, was at this juncture relieved by Dodge, at Grant's request, and on the 8th, the general-in-chief telegraphed to Halleck: Please direct General Dodge to send all the troops he can spare, to General Thomas. With srant expresses much dissatisfaction at your delay in attacking the enemy. If you wait till General Wilson mounts all his cavalry, you will wait till doom's day, for the waste equals the supply. Moreover, you will be in the same condition that Rosecrans was last year—with so many animals that you cannot feed them. Reports already come in of a scarcity of forage. Thomas replied, at two P. M.: Your despatch, of 10.30 A. M. this date, is received. I regret that General Grant should feel dissat

small for any further operations after the seizure of the forts. In August occurred the invasion of Missouri by Price, and A. J. Smith was ordered to report to Rosecrans. Nevertheless, for a while, Price roamed over the state with impunity, doing incalculable mischief, but accomplishing no important interruption to Grant's plans all his artillery and trains, and a large number of prisoners, and then made a precipitate retreat to northern Arkansas. Grant, however, was dissatisfied with Rosecrans, and in December that commander was relieved, while Smith reported to Thomas at Nashville. All these operations were almost independent of Grant. He sent a fvement against the right of Lee. He meant to gather up all the threads, and overlooked no quarter, however distant, of the theatre of war. Pope had superseded Rosecrans in Missouri, and on the 21st of March, Arkansas was added to his command. The same day Grant wrote at length, instructing him to begin offensive operations agai
