to General Hood's statement, was in a very dilapidated condition. So was the road from Corinth to Cherokee, near Tuscumbia. For a long period it had been but little used, and meantime it had been greatly injured by both armies. On the 22d General Beauregard instructed Lieut.-General Taylor to order General Forrest's division and Roddy's brigade of cavalry to report to General Hood, between Guntersville and Decatur. See letter to General Taylor, in Appendix. Forrest was then about Jackson, Tenn., and Roddy at or about Tuscaloosa, guarding the Tennessee River from Eastport, on the left, to the eastward beyond Guntersville. On the 23d he addressed a communication to Lieut.-General Taylor, relative to the new change of base to Tuscumbia, and what he desired him to do in that connection. Ibid. Having now completed all his orders and instructions, General Beauregard, on the 24th, started to rejoin General Hood's army, which he supposed to be then crossing the Tennessee River,

In view of the present movement, a changewing telegram was sent to Richmond: Gadsden, Ala., Oct. 22d, 1864:5 P. M. General S.

I will attack. If I can defeat him I can then cross and destroy N. W. Railroad to Nashville, and be in position as desired [by General Taylor]. These two telegrams are important, as showing the reasons for General Hood's proposed future campaign into Middle Tennessee. After completing all necessary arrangements for the establishment, at Jacksonville, of a good base for General Hood to operate from, General Beauregard, on the 19th of October, started to join the Army of Tennessee at Blue Pond, in a northeasterly direction, six miles beyond Centre, which is itself about thirty miles from Jacksonville. On his arrival there he ascertained from General Wheeler that General Hood and his army had retired to Gadsden, on the Coosa River, some twenty-seven miles to the westward. Wheeler reported Sherman's army not far from his front, and that he had been skirmishing that day with the Federal cavalry, supported by some infantry. General Beauregard was surprised that no intelligence of

On the day on which General Beauregard assumed command (October 17th) he caused the following proclamation to be issued: Circular.

In assuming command, at this critical juncture, of the Military Division of the West I appeal to my countrymen, of all classes and sections, for their generous support and confidence. I

eral Sherman's communications, and to cross the Tennessee River at Guntersville. General Beauregard approves t of Sherman's railroad communication beyond the Tennessee River. His reasons for doing so were, that, as he hally torn up, the great railroad bridge over the Tennessee River at Bridgeport destroyed, and the communication n route to the vicinity of Guntersville, on the Tennessee River. At what time and place the army will cross failroad lines, by the proper field-works on the Tennessee River, between Eastport and Florence, as will guard ices will determine when and where it will cross Tennessee River.

s believed to be going towards Bridgeport. Two days later the following telegram was received from General N. B. Forrest, dated Corinth, October 19th: I am moving to meet General Washburn, who is reported crossing five thousand troops at Clifton. If he crosses I will attack. If I can defeat him I can then cross and destroy N. W. Railroad to Nashville, and be in position as desired [by General Taylor]. These two telegrams are important, as showing the reasons for General Hood's pronew base of operations, either at Tuscumbia—near which the Memphis and Charleston Railroad was said to be in good condition— or at some point on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, north of Corinth, should our army be forced to cross the Tennessee, at Clifton or Savannah, to escape pursuit by. Sherman with greatly superior forces. General Hood argued that the two roads were in fair condition, and, if necessary, could be materially improved before he was likely to have need of them; that he would f

see River. His reasons for doing so were, that, as he had already caused Sherman, in so short a time to retrograde from Atlanta to Dalton, he believed that by crossing his army at Guntersville north of Gadsden, and continuing to tear up the railroaually torn up, the great railroad bridge over the Tennessee River at Bridgeport destroyed, and the communication between Atlanta, Chattanooga, and Nashville completely cut off. Could this be accomplished, all the fruits of Sherman's successful campaign in Georgia would be blighted, his capture of Atlanta would become a barren victory, and he would probably be compelled to make a retreat towards Tennessee, at every mile of which he might be harassed by our army. Mr. Davis had, of course, saemy's lines of communication, while the main body of the army is engaged in destroying his lines between Chattanooga and Atlanta. The object of such an address will be to arouse the people of that State and distract the enemy as to our intent and a
Cave Spring, Ga. (Georgia, United States) (search for this): chapter 15
General Beauregard knew that he was in nowise disregarding Mr. Davis's views, still less disobeying his general instructions. Three days after this second modification of General Hood's movement General Beauregard made it a point to send a communication on the subject to the War Department. He had followed the same course, about twelve days before, with reference to the alteration General Hood had made in his plan, on the 9th of October, previous to General Beauregard's meeting him at Cave Spring. Thus apprised in season, the War Department could have objected, or proposed any change it deemed advisable; and General Beauregard's main object was to afford this opportunity to the Administration at Richmond. Following is the communication alluded to: Headquarters, Military division of the West. In the field, Gadsden, Ala., Oct. 24th, 1864. General Samuel Cooper, Adjt. and Insp.-Genl., C. S.

any minor details—the movement now about to be made closely resembled, and almost formed part of, the system of operations and general plan of campaign devised by President Davis himself, when he visited General Hood in the latter part of September. On page 565, vol. II., of Mr. Davis's work we read as follows: With a view to judge better the situation, and then determine, after personal inspection, the course which should seem best to pursue, I visited General Hood's headquarters at Palmetto. The crisis was grave. It was not to be expected that General Sherman would remain long inactive. * * * To rescue Georgia, save the Gulf States, and retain possession of the lines of communication upon which we depended for the supplies of our armies in the field, an effort to arrest the further progress of the enemy was necessary; and to this end the railroads in his rear must be effectually torn up, the great railroad bridge over the Tennessee River at Bridgeport destroyed, and the comm
