All the troops we had to counteract Buckner were Rousseau's Legion, and a few Home Guards in Louisville. The former were st could reach it. I took Captain Prime with me, and crossed over to Rousseau's camp. The long-roll was beaten, and within an hour the men, to kner coming into Louisville, or us from going out, was not clear.

hen commanded by Colonel T. Kilby Smith, Colonel Stuart being wounded) to form on its right, and my fourth brigade, Colonel Buckland, on its right; all to advance abreast with this Kentucky brigade before mentioned, which I afterward found to be Rousseau's brigade of McCook's division. I gave personal direction to the twenty-four-pounder guns, whose well-directed fire first silenced the enemy's guns to the left, and afterward at the Shiloh meeting-house. Rousseau's brigade moved in splendid Rousseau's brigade moved in splendid order steadily to the front, sweeping every thing before it, and at 4 P. M. we stood upon the ground of our original front line; and the enemy was in full retreat. I directed my several brigades to resume at once their original camps. Several times during the battle, cartridges gave out; but General Grant had thoughtfully kept a supply coming from the rear. When I appealed to regiments to stand fast, although out of cartridges, I did so because, to re tire a regiment for any cause, has a ba

bank. But, preliminary thereto, I had ordered General Rousseau, at Nashville, to collect, out of the scattereng across to some of our posts in Mississippi. General Rousseau asked leave to command this expedition himselfir destruction of the railroad was soon repaired. Rousseau, when he reported to me in person before Atlanta, ast week he had given to General Roddy ten mules. Rousseau replied, Well, in this war you should be at least y general). Well, ain't you on our side? No, said Rousseau; I am General Rousseau, and all these men you see General Rousseau, and all these men you see are Yanks. Great God! is it possible? Are these Yanks? Who ever supposed they would come away down here in Alabama? Of course, Rousseau took his ten mules. Schofield effected his crossing at Soap's Creek very han Logan, Major-General.

also many causes of disintegration. The rebel General Wheeler was still in Middle Tennessee, threatening our railroads, and rumors came that Forrest was on his way from Mississippi to the same theatre, for the avowed purpose of breaking up our railroads and compelling us to fall back from our conquest. To prepare for this, or any other emergency, I ordered Newton's division of the Fourth Corps back to Chattanooga, and Corse's division of the Seventeenth Corps to Rome, and instructed General Rousseau at Nashville, Granger at Decatur, and Steadman at Chattanooga, to adopt the most active measures to protect and insure the safety of our roads. Hood still remained about Lovejoy's Station, and, up to the 15th of September, had given no signs of his future plans; so that with this date I close the campaign of Atlanta, with the following review of our relative losses during the months of August and September, with a summary of those for the whole campaign, beginning May 6 and ending Se

he railroad at several places; but, as usual, he did his work so hastily and carelessly that our engineers soon repaired the damage — then, retreating before General Rousseau, he left the State of Tennessee, crossing the river near Florence, Alabama, and got off unharmed. On the 10th of October the enemy appeared south of the Eooga, he had General Steedman's division, about five thousand men, besides garrisons for Chattanooga, Bridgeport, and Stevenson; at Murfreesboroa he also had General Rousseau's division, which was full five thousand strong, independent of the necessary garrisons for the railroad. At Decatur and Huntsville, Alabama, was the infantNashville. Of course, General. Thomas saw that on him would likely fall the real blow, and was naturally anxious. He still kept Granger's division at Decatur, Rousseau's at Murfreesboroa, and Steedman's at Chattanooga, with strong railroad guards at all the essential points intermediate, confident that by means of this very rai

tuted a strong army, capable not only of defending Nashville, but of beating Hood in the open field. Yet Thomas remained inside of Nashville, seemingly passive, until General Hood had closed upon him and had intrenched his position. General Thomas had furthermore held fast to the railroad leading from Nashville to Chattanooga, leaving strong guards at its principal points, as at Murfreesboroa, Deckerd, Stevenson, Bridgeport, Whitesides, and Chattanooga. At Murfreesboroa the division of Rousseau was reenforced and strengthened up to about eight thousand men. At that time the weather was cold and sleety, the ground was covered with ice and snow, and both parties for a time rested on the defensive. Thus matters stood at Nashville, while we were closing down on Savannah, in the early part of December, 1864; and the country, as well as General Grant, was alarmed at the seeming passive conduct of General Thomas; and General Grant at one time considered the situation so dangerous tha
