informed that Gen. Anderson said his (Manigault's) was the first to give way. Gen. Manigault went to Gen. Anderson and asked him about it, and he denied ever having said so; but, on the contrary, that he had always stated to every one that his own brigade was the first to give way. We all finally fell back about half a mile to the rear, where we rallied and reformed in line again. After a short conference among the general officers it was decided to fall back across the creek towards Chickamauga Station. We reached there about 10 o'clock at night. I made me a pallet, and, hungry, cold, and tired, I lay down to sleep and dream over the events of the past, sickened at the thoughts of our defeat. We had been whipped and driven from our strong without making scarcely any resistance. It is true, we were outnumbered three to one, but still we had the advantage in position. We never will have another such an opportunity of completely destroying the Yankee army. True, one force

The 10th Mississippi and Sharpshooters, posted at this point, broke and fled in confusion down the hill. Gen. Anderson, commanding the division, was at this time in the rear of Deas's brigade. Gen. Manigault sent Capt. Walker to inform him that the enemy had carried the hill in front of his brigade, commanded by Col. Tucker, and that the battery was captured. Gen. Anderson merely replied, "that it could not be so."--Captain Walker reasserted the fact, and turned around and left him. By this time the whole of Anderson's brigade had retreated, and the enemy had turned the captured pieces upon our brigade. Several shots were fired from them down our line, and by this time we had the top of the ridge in Deas's front, and his brigade began to break to the rear.

The men on the right of my regiment changed their fire, and directed it obliquely upon those to our right, but the distance was too great, the firing had but little effect. Soon it became evident that unless they were driven back they would gain the top of the ridge, and perhaps carry the point. Jennison went to a section of Dent's battery, which was posted a little in rear of the centre of our brigade — turned the pieces and directed them upon the column advancing up in Anderson's front, and fired several rounds or canister upon them, but it had but little effect. In a few minutes the enemy gained the top of the point in Anderson's front. They halted a moment to get breath, and then a dash for the battery posted at this point.
