played before Hall at the battle of Vaught's Hill were a menace to the Federal left wing, and Rosecrans a few days before the engagement at Franklin determined to drive away from his lines so venturesome an adversary. In order to accomplish this result, the Federals required a decided numerical superiority. On the evening of the 1st of April the brigades of Cruft and Hazen, of Palmer's division, left Murfreesborough, accompanied by a detachment of cavalry, the former following the direct Woodbury route, the latter making a wide detour for the purpose of surrounding this village and preventing the retreat of a strong Confederate detachment which happened to be in the place. But the Southerners, who were completely on their guard, received timely notice of the movement, and succeeded in getting away, leaving about thirty prisoners in the hands of the Federals. While they were rapidly falling back upon McMinnville, the Federals attempted another bold stroke against the remainder of M

p. Instead of obeying the orders of Ellet, who directs him to back out, the pilot runs the vessel aground in full sight of the enemy's guns. By this act of devotion to his cause, which might have cost him his life, this courageous man, named George Wood, Ellet in his report to Porter, February 21, 1863, gives the pilot's name as Garvey.—Ed. delivers up the Queen of the West to the Confederates. Shortly after, the vessel, riddled with balls and unable to extricate herself, was abandoned by Ellet and a portion of the Federal sailors, who floated down the river on bales of cotton, and thus reached the gunboat De Soto and the Era, which had remained out of reach. They took with them George Wood, and, so far from doing him any harm, they made him pilot of the Era, which he soon tried to run aground as he had done with the other ship. Pursued by the Webb, Ellet met with the Indianola near Natchez, whose presence brought the Confederate vessels to a stop. But their number was soon

Wofford's brigade, detached by Longstreet, was posted at Downsville in order to close the entrance of the angle in the middle of which Falling Waters is located. The cavalry; bearing to the right along this point, envelops the army eastward as far nortr the movement of his corps, are not useless, for the Union cavalry, returning once more to the charge, boldly attack it in both defiles. At Manassas, Merritt does not succeed, it is true, in dislodging Law from his position, and at Chester Gap Wofford's brigade repels still more promptly the assault of Gamble; but, while thus employing the Confederates, Buford prevents them from making their advance and seizing upon the passage, which will allow the Union infantry to come down to the banks of

Hood (two brigades), accompanied by Evans' independent brigade; Wilcox (three brigades); Kemper (three brigades); D. R. Jones (three brigades). Anderson, with the last three brigades of the First corps, was too much in the rear to appear on the battlefield on that day. At noon this corps was deployed in two lines, each division occupying part of its front. Hood, being naturally first in line, had since eleven o'clock taken position across the turnpike, placing Law's brigade on the left and Wofford's on the right, in front of Groveton. Evans was on his right; Wilcox on his left, but slightly in the rear, connected the two corps of the Confederate army at the foot of the hill upon which Lee had posted a portion of his artillery. Kemper's division was on Evans' right; the first brigade, under Hunton, was drawn close to the latter; the other two, extending across a rough country, formed but a partial connection with D. R. Jones' division. About noon the three brigades of this divisio
