Clark's division marched there, following General Withers's division of Bragg's second corps closely, as soon as it marched, at an early hour that morning, and thus obstructed the entrance of Ruggles's division into its prescribed position in the advancing column! Captain Polk quotes a clause from a letter received from General Charles Clark, the division commander of the First corps (Polk's), then present: Extract: We bivouaced Friday night on the road, the head of the column--General A.

We had but little artillery, as the roads were too rough for moving it.
