south-west over an expanse nearly one hundred and sixteen miles in length, and is watered from Pikeville to Jasper by the Sequatchie River, and from Jasper to Guntersville by the Tennessee. Gradually diminishing in height toward the north-west, the chain recedes and is lost in the rich plains of Middle Tennessee. The mass of st long and narrow valley designated as Will's Valley, are, on the west, Raccoon Mountain, which extends along the left bank of the Tennessee from Shell Mound to Guntersville; and on the east, Lookout Mountain, the crest of which rises twenty-six hundred feet above the level of the sea, and forms an admirable point of view whence, imiles and the other one hundred and five from Bridgeport. The first had detached a regiment to guard the entire bank of the Tennessee River from Bridgeport to Guntersville. Another regiment, sent by Martin, kept open his communications with Roddey's outposts near Decatur. The front of the Confederate army was therefore effectua

cident might transform into a famine. Such a state of things might be brought on, for instance, by the destruction of the tunnel at Cowan, which Roddey attempts at the moment when Wheeler recrosses the Tennessee. Roddey passes the river at Guntersville on the 10th, and, moving by Maysville and New Market, proceeds toward Salem, where he expects to reach Cowan. But he learns on the 12th that Wheeler is no longer in those parts, and that Mitchell, returning to Bridgeport, chances to be between himself and the river. He immediately retraces his steps, encounters in the night Crook's vanguard, that had followed his tracks from the vicinity of Guntersville, and, passing between Crook and McCook, he returns on the 13th to the banks of the Tennessee on the south of Athens. General Lee, who had not yet been able to take the field, was near Muscle Shoals at the moment when Wheeler came so precipitately to seek this fording-place, and he naturally renounced the design of crossing the riv

25th of January, General Logan, who commands it, causes a boat-bridge to be thrown over the river at Larkin's Ferry. Upon the occupation by a strong advance-guard of the surroundings of the bridge on the left bank and the approaches of the high chain called Sand Mountain, which borders the valley on the east, he causes a part of his troops to pass over. General Smith moves into these mountains with the main column, whilst a strong detachment proceeds to occupy, farther down, the town of Guntersville. Smith, in spite of the rain which breaks up the roads and compels him to leave his artillery behind, crosses Sand Mountain on February 2d and penetrates the pass leading into Will's Valley. He occupies Lebanon and Rawlinsville, but, not having succeeded in meeting Thomas' cavalry, which was to come from Trenton to lend him help, he turns back the following day, followed by Roddey, who dares not attack him, and recrosses the Tennessee on February 4th. On his part, Thomas had directed
