ely Brown's and White's battalions stormed the buildings, while Lieutenant Williamson's pioneers applied the torch, and amid the flames the garrison surrendered. In the fight the Confederates lost 7 killed and 22 wounded. A detachment was then sent to burn the railroad bridge at Oakland, under the command of Col. A. W. Harman, consisting of the Twelfth cavalry, Brown's battalion and McNeill's rangers, while a detachment of the Eleventh cavalry under Capt. E. H. McDonald was sent against Altamont, and the remainder of the force moved on Rowlesburg, where the trestle bridge had been burned some time before by a Confederate party. There they found a garrison of 300, against which the Sixth cavalry was sent in front, supported by Colonel Marshall, with the Seventh, and Col. L. L. Lomax, with the Eleventh cavalry, while Capt. O. T. Weems, with 80 sharpshooters of the Eleventh cavalry and a part of Witcher's battalion, was ordered to fire the railroad bridge. Both efforts failed, and

nd at the same time to so dispose his force as not to disclose the objective point, for while he had made up his mind to reach east Tennessee via McMinnville and Altamont, he was repairing the railroad and marching a column in the direction of Chattanooga to disconcert the enemy, or to take it if left unoccupied. He was encompasse left Chattanooga with the Texas Rangers of Col. John A. Wharton, and the Second Georgia cavalry of Col. W. J. Lawton, and made a forced march of fifty miles to Altamont, arriving at McMinnville on the night of the 11th. Here he was joined by Col. J. J. Morrison, with a portion of the First Georgia cavalry, two companies of Spiision arrived at McMinnville on the 3d of August, and General Buell was actively engaged in concentrating his army there preparatory to crossing the mountains at Altamont for the invasion of East Tennessee, when General Morgan again appeared on the scene as a disturbing element. On the 10th of August, having moved from Kingston,

out adequate means of transportation. Respectfully, your obedient servant, Braxton Bragg, General Commanding. At the time this letter was written, while General Buell was really intending to enter East Tennessee by way of McMinnville and Altamont, he was masking his purpose by throwing a force toward Chattanooga, as if intending to go there. Upon this hypothesis Bragg proposed to march north from Chattanooga and move into Middle Tennessee in the direction of Nashville, via Altamont and Altamont and McMinnville, and to get into what would be Buell's rear if he was in fact concentrating for a move on Chattanooga. General Buell adopted this theory as to Bragg's intentions, and when he moved, made his dispositions to oppose his passage through the mountains by the proposed route. But as will be seen later, Bragg's plan was altered so as not to take the Altamont route, but to keep on to Sparta. The mountainous condition of the country through which General Bragg's trains had to come from

the two the valley of the Sequatchie. There were only three routes across these almost uninhabited regions: the first, from McMinnville to Washington in Tennessee; the second, from McMinnville to Poe's Store; and the third, from Manchester via Altamont to Dallas. They crossed the Sequatchie respectively at Pikeville, Dunlap, and Anderson. The nature of the country, over an extent of nearly sixty-two miles, was such as to present insurmountable difficulties to an army of large size. Once arrnd Manchester up to McMinnville. He took up the line of march on the 16th in three columns: Wood, on the right, leaving Hillsborough and Pelham, made for Tracy City, whence he proceeded upward to the north as far as Purden, where he entered the Altamont and Anderson road; Palmer, who was at Manchester, reached at Irvine College, by a like movement, the Dunlap road; Van Cleve, who was posted at McMinnville, leaving a garrison of one brigade in that town, marched upon Pikeville with the two other
