iumphantly that the aid of the former was not needed, and he was ordered to march eastward and destroy the Virginia and Tennessee railroad, as far toward Lynchburg as possible. He concentrated the cavalry brigades of Colonels Palmer, Miller, and Brown, of Gillem's division, about six thousand strong, at Mossy Creek, on the 20th of March. He moved eastward to Bull's Gap, where he divided his forces, sending Miller toward Bristol, to make a feint, and moving with the rest of his command to Jonesboroa, when he crossed over Stone Mountain into North Carolina, to Boone. There, after a sharp skirmish, March 28, 1865. he captured two hundred Home Guards. Thence he moved through mountain gaps to Wilkesboroa, where the advance skirmished March 29. and captured prisoners and stores. Continuing his march, he crossed the Yadkin River April 2. at Jonesville, and, turning northward, went on to Cranberry Plain, in Carroll County, Virginia. From that point he sent Colonel Miller to Wytheville

General Jackson quickly divined his objects crossed Flint river at about 6 p. m., near Jonesboroa, and made an attack upon Lewis's brigade, whhilst Hardee advanced from his position near Jonesboroa, or directly on Lee's left. Such were theto drive the Federals across Flint river, at Jonesboroa. I also instructed him, in the event of faiG. W. Smith, anxiously awaiting tidings from Jonesboroa. At an early hour the following morning, norly hour, or soon after his Corps arrived at Jonesboroa.

By refere Atlanta. How long, I venture to inquire, is it probable that Sherman, after the capture of Jonesboroa, would have tarried before occupying the identical position I have designated?

ot and many musket shots from our line of investment, that overshot their mark, went into the habitations of women and children. General Hardee did the same at Jonesboroa, and General Johnston did the same, last summer, at Jackson, Mississippi. I have not accused you of heartless cruelty, but merely instance these cases of very red to flee from your fraternal embraces. You are equally unfortunate in your attempt to find a justification for this act of cruelty, either in the defence of Jonesboroa, by General Hardee, or of Atlanta, by myself. General Hardee defended his position in front of Jonesboroa at the expense of injury to the houses; an ordinary, Jonesboroa at the expense of injury to the houses; an ordinary, proper, and justifiable act of war. I defended Atlanta at the same risk and cost. If there was any fault in either case, it was your own, in not giving notice, especially in the case of Atlanta, of your purpose to shell the town, which is usual in war among civilized nations. No inhabitant was expelled from his home and fireside

d in rear of McPherson's left flank, as ordered, and attacked at daylight or early morning, we would have gained signal victories. It may very properly be asked why, after failure on two consecutive occasions, was Hardee placed in command at Jonesboroa; why I did not relieve him previously from duty with the Army, and thus avoid further cause of complaint The battles of the 20th, and 22d of July, were fought in rapid succession, and immediately after my appointment to the command of the Ar not imagine that a soldier, wittingly and willingly, would disregard orders in operations of so much importance. Moreover, the position of his line of battle, together with that of General Lee, rendered it necessary to send their two corps to Jonesboroa, and Hardee, the superior officer in rank, of course assumed command. I was slow and reluctant to adopt the conclusion finally expressed in my dispatch to the President. I refused to attribute Hardee's non-fulfilment of orders to a fixed pu

de did not add another, but continued to diffuse his command throughout East Tennessee, until it had been beaten out very thin, and was thus exposed to be cut up in detail. Col. Foster, in the far east, after one skirmish Sept. 21. near Bristol, was sharply assailed Oct. 10. at Blue Springs by Sam Jones, whom he defeated, after two days desultory fighting; talking 150 prisoners and disabling at least that number, with a loss to our side of barely 100. Shackleford now took post at Jonesboroa, with a part of his command, under Wilcox, at Greenville, with two regiments and a battery, under Col. Israel Garrard, 7th Ohio cavalry, at Rogersville, where they were attacked Nov. 6. by 1,200 mounted men under Brig.-Gen. W. E. Jones, acting under the orders of Maj.-Gen. Sam Jones, who struck them at day-light, surprising and easily routing them with a loss of 4 guns, 36 wagons, and 750 prisoners, and creating such a panic at Jonesborough and Greenville that Shackleford's men raced ba

Helping the trains across the Ocmulgee and its tributaries, and up the long, steep hills beyond, had been the principal labor of the march; which was intended to average 15 miles per day. Kilpatrick held the laboring oar. Moving south Nov. 15. from Atlanta with Howard, he had been confronted at East Point by Rebel cavalry; with whom he skirmished, driving them to Flint river, which he crossed at Jonesboroa at 7 A. M. next day; following the enemy to Lovejoy's, where they had taken post in the old Rebel works, having two guns. Dismounting Murray's brigade, Kilpatrick attacked and carried the works, capturing 50 prisoners; Atkins's brigade soon after charging the fleeing foe, and taking their guns. Kilpatrick pushed thence by McDonough and Monticello to Clinton; whence he made a dash at Macon, driving in the enemy's cavalry; but was unable to carry the defenses, which were held by infantry a
