ntucky. Grant's possession of the Tennessee river cut off Columbus and separated Bowling Green from Nashville. It became necessary for the entire Confederate army in Kentucky to fall back to another line to protect Memphis. Before the fall of Donelson, every preparation for the retreat from Bowling Green was quietly made; all ordnance and army stores were quietly moved southward; and on February 11th troops began to move. Colonel Shaver's Arkansas brigade covered the retreat. By order, Coloorps were the Ninth Arkansas, Col. Isaac L. Dunlop, and Tenth, Col. Thomas D. Merrick, yet under Bowen's command. Hubbard's Arkansas artillery is noted among unattached troops. Grant, since his heart-blow directed against the Confederacy at Donelson, had been strangely left without definite command until the 17th of March, when seeming to have been restored, he proceeded to Savannah on the Tennessee, and permitted Gen. W. T. Sherman to take command of the force at Pittsburg landing. Buell'

he fire of a Louisiana regiment, Capt. R. B. Lambert, Lieutenants Hall and Hopkins and several others were wounded. In the subsequent encounter with the enemy, Lieutenant-Colonel Grayson was mortally, and Maj. J. A. McNeely, Captains Crump and Wilds, and Lieutenants Duncan, Hopkins and Busby, seriously wounded. After the fall of Fort Donelson, Tenn., General Polk evacuated Columbus, and the next stand for the defense of the Mississippi river was made at the bends of Island No.10 and New Madrid, Mo. At Fort Thompson, near New Madrid, was stationed a garrison consisting of the Eleventh Arkansas regiment, Col. J. M. Smith; the Twelfth Arkansas, Lieut.-Col. W. D. S. Cook, and two Tennessee batteries, all under Col. E. W. Gantt, of the Twelfth Arkansas. An army under Gen. John Pope advanced southward in Missouri against New Madrid and began an attack on Fort Thompson, March 13th. During the following night, in the midst of a violent thunderstorm, the Confederate garrison was removed

r-General Cleburne conducted his command with persevering valor. No repulse discouraged him; but after many bloody struggles, he assembled the remnant of his brigade and was conspicuous for his gallantry to the end of the battle. In his expression of obligations to his staff, General Hardee named Lieut. William Kearney, his inspector-general, and Surgeon G. W. Lawrence, medical director, a resident of Hot Springs, Ark., before and since he was a Confederate surgeon. He was a native of Maryland, and one time assistant surgeon in the United States navy. Hindman's and Cleburne's brigades struck the enemy at the camp of Colonel Peabody, whose brigade was partly composed of Germans from St. Louis and Milwaukee. They crowded the streets of their encampment as they ran out of the tents, and fell fast under rifle balls and the grape and canister of Swett's battery. Colonel Peabody, arising hurriedly from breakfast, was wounded in the act of mounting his horse. Colonel Shaver, re

icer cried, Shoot that rebel officer! The general, saber drawn and practiced in wielding it, instantly cut him down with a stroke that must have been mortal. J. H. Bullock, adjutant of the Eighteenth Arkansas, who had left his plantation in Chicot county a private, displayed a sublime courage at the side of his commanding general, careless of the fact that his clothing was riddled by the bullets of the enemy. He was saved as if by a miracle from wounds and death, while his gallant colonel, J On March 5th, Col. D. H. Reynolds, of the First Arkansas rifles, Churchill's old regiment, and at the time in command of the brigade, had been promoted to brigadier-general. General Reynolds was a native of Iowa, who had made his home in Chicot county, Ark., where he was a lawyer in high standing when the war began. The brigade had its former gallant regiments: First rifles, Col. Lee L. Ramsaur; Second rifles, Col. J. A. Williamson; Fourth regiment, Col. H. G. Bunn, Twenty-fifth and Thirty-f

Cabell's brigade; Third cavalry dismounted, Stirman's sharpshooters, McNally's battery, General Phifer's brigade; Col. W. F. Slemons' cavalry regiment, F. C. Armstrong's brigade. The campaign in co-operation with Bragg was opened by Armstrong's cavalry, including Slemons' regiment, who defeated the enemy at Bolivar and Denmark (Britton's lane), and destroyed his railroad communications. Advancing to Iuka, Price was attacked on September 19, 1862, by two columns of the enemy. Hebert's brigade met the enemy south of Iuka, and bore the brunt of the deadly conflict there. Hebert said in his report: I must put in the position of brave and true men the small numbers of the Fourteenth and Seventeenth regiments of Arkansas infantry. Nobly, heroically have they proved themselves true patriots and brave s

lete Confederate defeat. Going into line of battle at Resaca, Cleburne intrenched, and during the 14th of May repulsed the repeated assaults of the enemy. On the night of the 15th Johnston evacuated Resaca and crossed the Oostenaula, and next morning Cleburne met a flanking force of the enemy near Calhoun, and Polk and Govan were briskly engaged. The division was next in line of battle at Adairsville and Cassville, but not engaged. It crossed the Etowah river May 20th, and marched to Powder Springs. It was marching to the front during the night battle at New Hope church, but was unable to get through the crowded roads. On the afternoon of May 26th the division went into position and intrenched on the extreme right (north) of the army, forming a line retiring eastward from the main line on Pumpkin Vine creek. On the afternoon of the 27th, Govan reported the enemy pushing against Johnston's right flank. Granbury, sent to Govan's right, received the assault which followed, known

the battle. In his expression of obligations to his staff, General Hardee named Lieut. William Kearney, his inspector-general, and Surgeon G. W. Lawrence, medical director, a resident of Hot Springs, Ark., before and since he was a Confederate surgeon. He was a native of Maryland, and one time assistant surgeon in the United States navy. Hindman's and Cleburne's brigades struck the enemy at the camp of Colonel Peabody, whose brigade was partly composed of Germans from St. Louis and Milwaukee. They crowded the streets of their encampment as they ran out of the tents, and fell fast under rifle balls and the grape and canister of Swett's battery. Colonel Peabody, arising hurriedly from breakfast, was wounded in the act of mounting his horse. Colonel Shaver, reporting the action of Hindman's brigade, described the attack on Peabody's camp as very sanguinary; the enemy's fire was terrific. Ordered to the left, he became exposed to a cross-fire of artillery, and here, near th

his flanking line far to the right, as he had done before at Rocky Face and Kenesaw, and Hood was compelled to fight at Jonesboro. In this battle, General Hardee was in chief command, General Cleburne commanded Hardee's corps, and Gen. S. D. Lee, Hood's old corps. Hardee attacked Howard's two corps at Jonesboro, August 31st, and a bloody conflict ensued which lasted several hours and only ended at dark. That night Thomas came up and had now five corps, leaving only one with Sherman to watched it promptly to the place where the line had been broken and held it during the rest of the battle. The defense of Jonesboro by Hardee for two days against such forces as were hurled upon him, was an achievement of lasting honor to that commandthem, carrying every point against which we were ordered, never suffered our lines to be broken at any time except at Jonesboro, Ga., September 1, 1864; then our ranks were single, and we were stretched one yard apart, trying to cover the enemy's fro

, was killed. General Johnston withdrew across the Chattahoochee and was relieved by General Hood. On the 20th of July, Hardee and A. P. Stewart attacked Thomas as he was crossing Peachtree creek. General Hardee explained his lack of success by the withdrawal of Cleburne's division at a critical moment to meet the advance of McPherson from Decatur. During the crossing of Peachtree creek by the Federals, July 19th, Gen. D. H. Reynolds, with his Arkansas brigade, was briskly engaged at Moore's mill, repulsing an attack and capturing a considerable number of prisoners. The Ninth Arkansas took two Federal flags. Reynolds lost 8 killed and 48 wounded, among the latter Maj. J. P. Eagle and Lieutenant Kirkpatrick, Second rifles. On the 20th the brigade, only 540 strong, made a gallant charge and part entered the Federal breastworks, losing 6 killed and 52 wounded. Cleburne, transferred to Bald Hill, east of the city, was in battle on the 21st. His division occupied some slight de

some supplies. He was soon afterward promoted to brigadier-general. The fall of Forts Henry and Donelson on the ad and 14th of February, 1862, was a lamentable disaster which changed the situation in Kentucky. Grant's possession of the Tennessee river cut off Columbus and separated Bowling Green from Nashville. It became necessary for the entire Confederate army in Kentucky to fall back to another line to protect Memphis. Before the fall of Donelson, every preparation for the retreat frn the rear, were attended by no pomp and circumstance. News of the defeat of Van Dorn at Elkhorn Tavern, Ark., March 7th, and the death of McCulloch and McIntosh, added to the general gloom. The movement of the enemy from Paducah up the Tennessee river had already commenced. Gen. C. F. Smith assembled four divisions at Savannah, Tenn., on the 13th; Bell began his march from Nashville on the 1st, and Sherman disembarked troops at Pittsburg landing on the 16th and made a reconnoissance to M
