Even before the news of Lee's surrender reached Texas there had been signs of discontent apparent among some of the soldiers who were scattered in regimental and brigade camps principally throughout the southern and what was then the western part of the State—the section of greatest abundance of food supplies. While none openly admitted that the fall of the Confederacy was a possibility, many read in the march of Sheridan through the Valley of Virginia, of Sherman through Georgia, and in Lee's reverses the presage of coming disaster.

Not only this, but Sheridan's Division entire, had moved through the gap, and marching out three miles on the Lafayette road toward Bragg, and stood across the road, in close contact with General Bragg's left, at the time the battle ended. These troops had all recovered from the confusion, into which a portion of them had been thrown by the break at noon at Chickamauga.

Not wishing to cut down so dashing a fellow, who had put himself in their power, no one fired at him.
