I quote: First—After Polk's corps had taken the position assigned to it on the left of Hood's corps and in the rear of Cassville, General S. G. French, one of the division generals of the corps, sent a report to General Polk that his position was enfiladed and that he could not hold it. Any line can be enfiladed if the enemy be permitted, undisturbed, to approach near enough and establish batteries on the prolongation of that lin

ing thus formed, I was ordered, at 4 o'clock P. M., to fall back from the east of Cassville, and form my two remaining brigades in rear of Cockrell's brigade and Canty's division; but, inasmuch as General Hood's corps did not join or extend to Canty's right, I placed in this interval a half of Ector's brigade, holding the other half and Sear's brigade in reserve. Thus my division was separated by Canty's division, and Canty's troops formed a part of my command. Winter Park, Fla., Dec. 12, 1893. Editor Picayune.

n he listens to Hood's arguments he changes his mind and sustains Hood, and thus, with two of his corps commanders opposed to defending their lines, Johnston deemed it better to decline the impending battle. Sixth—On page 110, in Hood's book, you will find the beginning of a letter from Captain W. J. Morris, General Polk's chief engineer, from which I will make some quotations, abbreviating them as much as possible. He says he arrived at Cassville station about 3.30 or 4 o'clock P. M. May 19, 1864. Colonel Gale was there to meet him and to tell him that General Polk wanted to see him as soon as he arrived. He had half a mile to go to Polk's quarters. Met General Polk at the door. He says it took him about half an hour to examine a map that Polk placed before him and make notes of the general's wishes, and fifteen minutes to ride from Polk's headquarters to the line that was reported to be enfiladed. When he left Polk's headquarters he thinks General Hood was there. It took him

Zzzgeneral Joseph E. Johnston's Campaign in Georgia. Lt.-General Leonidas Polk at Cassville. Criticisms of Gen. S. G. French. In the last volume of Southern Historical Society Papers (Xxi), pp. 314-321, there was republished from the New Orleans, La., Picayune, of Oct. 22, 1893, an article under the above caption. To this article Major-General S. G. French took exceptions in a reply, published in the Picayune, of Dec. 28, 1893. It is the mission of the Southern Historical Society to seek the truth as to every detail in the grand struggle of the South, and to place it upon record in its Papers. The reply of General French is from a corrected copy, considerately furnished by him. General French desired the statement, to be made in this connection, that his Division was composed of the brigades of Generals Cockrell, Sears and Ector.

n attack upon the enemy while the batteries held the positions they then occupied. Having made the reconnoisance he returned to General Polk's headquarters just after dark. General Polk immediately sent for General Johnston. General Hood was at General Polk's. You will thus perceive that the conference to be held was determined on between Polk and Hood, before Morris made his report to Polk, because Hood was already there, for I rode with him to the rendezvous. Seventh—On the 8th of May, 1874, General Hood wrote me a letter to know what I knew about the vexed question of retiring from Cassville. He had forgotten that he had met me in the road; that he had invited me to ride with him to see General Johnston, or that I was at the conference. Said he Only learned I was at the conference from Johnston's narrative, etc. I answered his letter from New York, where I then was, from recollection, without reference to my diary.

Said he Only learned I was at the conference from Johnston's narrative, etc. I answered his letter from New York, where I then was, from recollection, without reference to my diary. I have both his letter and my answer. General Hood and I had talked this matter over, at length, at the Alleghany Springs, Va., in the summer of 1872, differing, however, about not remaining at Cassville and the defensive strength of the lines. Eighth—Without endeavoring to recall to mind pictures of scenes through the mist of thirty years in the past, or revive recollections of words used in the long, long ago, I will refer to my diary, and what was written day by day therein. After we had formed line of battle east of Cassville, and manoeuvered with Hood with a view to attack the enemy, our troops began, in the afternoon, to fall b
