fight ensued. The head of Thomas's column was six miles in the rear, but Wilder's plucky regiments used their Spencer rifles to such good purpose as to hold their ground until Reynolds's division secured possession of the bridge, when Stewart, finding that the movement was really an advance in force, that the Gap he was posted to guard was lost, and that a heavy column was crossing the bridge, fell back upon the main line. Thomas was followed closely by McCook with the Twentieth Corps, Granger with the Reserve Corps holding the ground in front of Murfreesboro‘. Meantime, Crittenden with the Twenty-first Corps, who had seventeen miles to march, over a road that seemingly had no bottom, was toiling through the mud between Woodbury and Manchester on his way to his position before Bragg's right flank and rear. Colonel John F. Miller with his brigade of Negley's division attacked Liberty Gap, and fell in a fierce fight there, badly wounded; but the Gap was held by the brigade until r

But he had Granger's corps to hold the fortifications of Chattans of Longstreet, until Steedman's division of Granger's corps came to his relief about 3 P. M. Well. From prisoners we soon learned that it was Granger's corps. We were apprehensive that a flank aall back and align upon Cleburne, when we saw Granger's corps approaching on our right, and I did r, believing that a withdrawal in full view of Granger would invite an attack upon our flank, and th to my assistance by the wing commander. But Granger, who had gallantly marched without orders to ns thus describes the timely help afforded by Granger to the sorely beset Thomas: Arrived in sight, Granger discovered at once the peril and the point of danger — the gap — and quick as thought the day.

Federals thus hastily formed on Battery Hill now successfully withstood the assault of the enemy. The Union line held the crest. Longstreet was stayed at last. Gathering new forces, he soon sent a flanking column around our right. We could not extend our line to meet this attack. They had reached the summit, and were coming around still farther on through a protected ravine. For a time the fate of the Union army hung in the balance. All seemed lost, when unexpected help came from Gordon Granger and the right was saved. When Longstreet first struck our right I was hurrying toward Crawfish Springs, as stated above, to order the cavalry to the left. I brought back with me Harrison's regiment, which, with Wilder's brigade, gallantly charged the Confederates in flank. Harrison captured some two hundred prisoners and turned again upon the enemy. Finding no Federal infantry in sight, I passed to the northward, taking with me Harrison's disarmed prisoners, partly under charge of

Granger, who had been ordered at all hazards to hold t hung over the scene. At 11 o'clock, with Granger, I climbed a high hayrick near by. We sat thefor ten minutes listening and watching. Then Granger jumped up, thrust his glass into its case, an rear. Those men must be driven back, said Granger, pointing to the gorge and ridge. Can you dot know any better than to charge up there. Granger quickly sent Aleshire's battery of 3-inch rif of the charge the ridge had been carried. Granger's hat had been torn by a fragment of shell; S center. The ammunition of both Thomas's and Granger's commands was now about exhausted. When GraGranger had come up he had given ammunition to Brannan and Wood, and that had exhausted his supply.

r's, Reynolds's, Brannan's, Negley's, Davis's, Sheridan's; Wood's and Van Cleve's were in reserve; and three brigades of Granger's corps were near Rossville, four miles away. Thomas commanded six divisions at the left, McCook two at the right, and ection of Chattanooga, watching with anxious interest a column of dust rising in the air. Our suspense was relieved when Granger and Steedman emerged from the dust, and Garfield dashed up to Thomas. To prevent a turning movement on the road from Ringgold, through Rossville to Chattanooga, Granger, with three brigades, had been stationed on the Ringgold road; and, by a sound, soldierly judgment, leaving one brigade to do the work assigned to the three, brought two brigades to the field. Thoard his reserves and re-formed his lines; and, extending beyond our right, advanced in a final attack. Thomas ordered Granger's reenforcements to the right of Brannan, where the enemy had already begun to appear. The conflict there, and on the d

Wood commanding, to the foot of Fort Wood, and forWhile the advance up Missionary Ridge was going forward, General Thomas, with his staff, General Gordon Granger, commander of the corps, making the assault, and myself and staff, occupied Orchard Knobobserved. The moment the troops were seen going over the last line of rebel defenses I ordered Granger to join his command, and mounting my horse I rode to the front. General Thomas left about the ed against Sherman, the resistance was more stubborn, and the contest lasted longer.
