nforced, he was waiting for Minty, who was going to Crossville to command the entrance to the Sequatchie Valley and descend through it into the Tennessee Valley. Minty, who had proceeded up the right bank of the Calf-Killer River, found, about seven miles and a half above Sparta, General Dibrell, who resisted his progress during the whole of the 17th. The Confederates, having fallen back during the night, were sharply pursued. Dibrell gained Crossville, whence he was soon recalled. On the 22d, hearing the news of the simultaneous movements of the Federal armies of the Cumberland and of the Ohio, Forrest had received orders to concentrate his forces at Kingston. Some days later, as we have said, he was covering Buckner's retreat and lining with soldiers the left bank of the Tennessee from the burned bridge at Loudon to the environs of Chattanooga. The remainder of the Union army had commenced to move at the same time with Crittenden. The Fourteenth corps had advanced in two co

he 15th arrives first, on the 21st; Hurlbut sends it immediately to Grant, who receives it on the 22d. That of the 13th is handed to him only on the 25th: it took ten days to carry this despatch frotire to the station at Sweetwater. In spite of the arrival of the infantry on the evening of the 22d, the Southern cavalry no longer disturb the enemy, who have retaken Philadelphia. However, evee arrival of Sherman on Bear Creek calls S. D. Lee to that locality a few days afterward. On the 22d he encounters Osterhaus on the banks of Caney Creek, about nine miles and a half west of Tuscumbhe troops coming down from Will's Valley: if he had crossed Brown's Ferry in full daylight on the 22d, the error had been impossible. It is probable that instead of the bridge at Brown's Ferry he met that supreme hour a division from his army to send it before Knoxville? In the morning of the 22d, Buckner had put on the road in that direction two of his brigades under the command of Bushrod J

iver, to head off Forrest if he should cross the Tennessee River. The time has come for the latter quickly to return to the State of Mississippi. He has collected nearly four thousand men, well mounted, but badly armed and little inured to war: his forty wagons of provisions, his droves of beeves and swine, are going to impede his progress. It is with inexperienced recruits and with cattle instead of artillery that he will have to escape from the flying columns of the Federals. On the 22d he hears that Smith's column has appeared on the north, at Trenton and at McLemoresville—that of Mizner on the south-east, at Jack's Creek. He immediately adopts a course of action. Richardson's brigade shall open the march toward the south: it shall leave Jackson on the 23d in the morning, and shall pass over the Hatchie at Estenaula. It shall be followed, one day's march apart, by the trains, the drove of livestock, and all men without arms, escorted by Colonel Bell and his troopers. Ab

in order to disguise the inactivity of his infantry, had directed Fagan to cross to the left side of the Washita with his three thousand five hundred cavalry, and to push as far as the banks of the Arkansas in order to annoy the garrisons at Little Rock and Pine Bluff, and to cut off Steele's communications with those places. He succeeded completely. A large wagon-train coming from the latter post had on the 20th brought the Federals the stores of which they were so sorely in need. On the 22d, Steele, on sending it back empty, gave it a strong escort composed of six hundred infantry, four hundred cavalry, and a battery of four pieces, under the orders of Colonel Drake. These forces seemed more than sufficient to cope with Shelby's brigade, which alone had been reported on the way from Pine Bluff. But Fagan, having learned of the departure of the train, makes a forced march to overtake it, and, taking Shelby along, he ascends the left bank of Bayou Moro, a wide creek with marshy
