The Daily Dispatch: October 23, 1863., [Electronic resource], Gen. Wheeler's operations. (search)
d entered the Sequatchie Valley. He met a wagon train, one thousand in number, well guarded, and attacked them. A hand fight ensued, but he captured everything, including several thousand prisoners. He killed the mules and burnt the wagons and stores. He next sent Gen. Wharton to McMinnville to invest the place, and then followed with his entire command. He captured the garrison, including two regiments of Yankee infantry and thirty days rations for Rosecrans's army, which he destroyed.--He paroled all the prisoners, and exchanged his worn-down horses for good ones. He next dashed on and destroyed the bridges over Stone and Duck rivers, while Wharton threatened Murfreesboro'. Wharton then joined Wheeler at Shelbyville. The enemy were here reinforced and fought and drove Gen. Wheeler back. He retreated across the Tennessee near Courtland, Ala. The Confederate loss was heavy, but the whole affair was a brilliant exploit. Roddy is reported to have blown up the tunnel at Cowans.
The Daily Dispatch: October 23, 1863., [Electronic resource], Rosecrans on the battle of Chickamauga. (search)
ers No. 3. Army of the Cumberland--You have made a grand and successful campaign; you have driven the rebels from Middle Tennessee.--You crossed a great mountain range, placed yourselves on the banks of a broad river, crossed it in the face of a powerful opposing army, and crossed two other great mountain ranges at the only practicable passes, some forty miles between extremes. You concentrated in the face of superior numbers — fought the combined armies of Bragg, which you drove from Shelbyville to Tullahoma; of Johnston's army from Mississippi, and for two days held them at bay, giving them blow for blow, with heavy interest. When the day closed you held the field, from which you withdrew, in the face of overpowering numbers, to occupy the point for which you set out — Chattanooga. [The reader will recollect that Rosecrans was at one time in Chattanooga, where he had arrived without molestation. Why did he start to Atlanta, when he had only set out for Chattanooga?]
