[584] corps—shows an effective force of more than thirty-five thousand infantry; which, adding one-tenth for the officers, gives a total of thirty-nine thousand men. From the 1st to the 20th of September his army is augmented, on the one hand, by the return of Breckinridge's division, thirty-seven hundred and sixty-nine men strong according to the report of its chief, and, on the other hand, by the arrival of Buckner's corps and of Longstreet's. This latter general, having united these two corps under his command, besides Hindman's division, estimates his forces as being twenty-two thousand eight hundred and fifty-two officers and men. The division of Hindman, which, according to the official report, showed a total of six thousand one hundred and two men, being included in the muster-roll of September 1st, must be deducted here. The two corps of Buckner and Longstreet give, therefore, together, an effective of sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty combatants. Finally, on the 20th of September Gist's brigade, nine hundred and eighty men strong, joined Walker's corps. The total of Bragg's infantry will therefore comprise the following:
| Polk's corps, Walker's corps, Cleburne's division | 39,000 men. |
| Breckinridge's division | 3,769 men |
| Buckner's corps, Longstreet's corps | 16,750 men |
| Gist's brigade | 980 men |
| —— | |
| Total | 60,499 men. |
