Baldwin, commanding Mississippi and Tennessee troops, and Col. Wharton and Col. McCausland, commanding Virginians. To Brigadier- General Buckner was assigned the duty of making the attack from near the centre of our lines upon the enemy's forces, upon the Wynn's Ferry road. The attack on the left was delayed longer than I expected, and consequently the enemy was found in position when our troops advanced.
