Crittenden's corps threatened Chattanooga through the gaps in Walden's ridge, while Thomas' corps and McCook's moved to Stevenson, Bridgeport and the vicinity.

He was on the flank of General Bragg by the 8th of September, and by the 12th had crossed Lookout mountain.

Lee's corps occupied the right, the divisions of Patton Anderson (including Manigault's brigade) and Stevenson in front, and Clayton's in reserve. Hardee's corps, commanded by General Cleburne, occupied the left, the divisions of Bate (under J. C. Brown) and Cleburne (under Lowrey) in front, and Cheatham's (under General Maney, and including Gist's briham's division, and followed Lowrey's advance; but was not actively engaged and suffered only 4 casualties.

General Clayton describes the attack of the front line as wanting in dash and persistency.

and Buford's bridges. The former was carried February 3d by two divisions of Blair's corps, who waded the swamp and turned Mc-Laws' position, compelling him to retire toward Branchville, behind the Edisto. McLaws reported, It was with difficulty that my command could be withdrawn, as I was completely flanked on both sides. The fighting at Rivers' bridge was quite sharp and lasted several hours. Wheeler, following McLaws' retreat, burned the bridges over the Little Salkehatchie. Gen. C. L. Stevenson, commanding S. D. Lee's corps, took position to hold the South Edisto to Binnaker's bridge. Sherman pushed his army rapidly toward Midway and Graham's Station on the South Carolina railroad, which was destroyed, while Blair threatened Branchville, and Kilpatrick, Augusta. The latter was met by Wheeler's cavalry in battle at Blackville, Williston and Aiken, the Confederate leader winning a substantial victory before the latter place, and stopping Kilpatrick's advance.

General Hood said: Order among the troops was in a measure restored at Brentwood, a few miles in rear of the scene of disaster, through the desperate charge, and either kill or compel the surrender of the Federal party by the use of hand-grenades. A call for volunteers for this purpose was made, General Stevenson reported, and promptly responded to by Lieut.-Col. E. W. Pettus, and about forty men of Waul's Texas legion.
