The rest of Gist's troops are placed upon the extremity of Taylor's Ridge, so as prevent the enemy from turning the defile by the south. Cleburne's division is on the right. Liddell and Smith are established on the last summit of White Oak Ridge, which commands on the north the entrance to the gorge and affords a view of Ringgold; Polk and Lowry are at right angles on the eastern slope of the chain, in order to cover the right against the Federal troops which might come from Parker's Gap. A single line of skirmishers is along the edge of the river, and to encourage the enemy they even avoid destroying the bridge on the road from Ringgold to La Fayette. After a feint
