the Lapse of
The battle of Stone River was fought; lie-
tweeu Gents. Rosecrans and Bragg, Dec. 31,
1362, and‘Jan. 1 and 2, 1861:. Following that
heavy fight both armies remained inactive
in camp several months.
Rosecrans remained at Murft‘cesboro. It
required months to rebuild railway connec-
tions,forwurd supplies and make of Mur-
freesboro a new base. Among other labors
of construction, the tremendous railway
trestle works at Muldraingh‘s Hill required to
be rebuilt. . It was necessary to put iii repair
and guard the railroad line front Louisville
to Nashville, thence from N.:slnville to Mur-
freesboro.
Rosecrans had very little cavalry, annd was
obliged to guard railway communications
extending over hundreds of. miles. The cav-
alry of the Confederates, under such ex-
perienced leaders as \thrton, \Vlnce‘nei‘, For—
rest and Pat C‘lcburne, outnumbered the
Union cavalry at least; four to one. .
Every advance for loser-rains meant
lengthening his lines behind him and leaving
a. part of his army to guard them. Gen.
Halleck was their at the head of military
affairs in “'ashington, and was constantly
urging Rosecrans to make forward uneve-
ments. Rosecrans in return set forth in ear-
nest but respectful letters to the war depart-
ment the impossibility of successful offensive
movements without better cavalry equip-
ment.
“iVith mounted infantry,” he wrote, “I
can drive the Confederate cavalry to the wall
and keep the roads open in my rear.”
His solicitations produced no effect. It
was not; till after Rosecrans" advance to Chat-
taiiooga that any attempt was made to in-
crease and improve the cavalry of the Army
of the Cumberland.
Rosecrans’ army was divided into right,
left and center. On the right Maj. Gen.
Alexander McDowell lIIcCook wins inn conn-
maud, with the

corps. Maj. Gen. Thomas L. Crittcnden, of
Kentucky, commanded the Twenty-first
army corps and Rosecrans’ left wing. Ho
hadn brother, ‘Gen. George Crittenden, iii
the Confederate army. The brothers were
sons of John J. Crittetnden, one of Ken-
tucky’s most; distinguished sons.
Rosecruns’ scant; cavalry force was com-
manded by Maj. Gen. David S. Stanley.
Gen. Stanley was in graduate of TVest Point
of the class of 1853. He was a native of
Ohio. He distinguished himself at the but-
tlo of Stone River, and afterwards int; Resacn,
Ga. Iii November, 1802, he was promoted to
major general of volunteers. At the close of
the war Gen. Stanley was mustered out; of
volunteer service and dropped back to his
old rank iii the _ . . y : ~
regular army, that V '
of colonel of the
Twenty-second U.
‘S.lllfalltl')’. Among
Gen. Stanley's class-
mates at “'est
Point were Glens.
Slocum and Sheri-
dan. During: the .,
early part of the “
war Gen. Stanley
was connected with
the Army of the
Mi?‘i“-<I'_‘i_\I. Rose—
crans hind rcqn tested
that he be :rans-
ferred to him to take charge of the cavalry
of the Army of the Cumberland, and the re—
quest lnad been granted.
Rosecrans 1 laced great dependence on Gen.
Stanley. In the difficult mountain passes
and arduous routes the Army of the Cum-
berland encountered on its southward march
Stanley’s cavulry, small in munber as it was,
was invaluable. Ho had joined Rosecrans
army in November, 1802, and devoted him-
self with enthusiasm to organizing and drill-
ing the cavalry.
Gen. Rosecrans’ chief of staff in the sum-
mer of 1863 was Bijg. Gen. James Abram
Garfield.
Inn February, 1863, a serious attempt was
made by the Confederate cavalry to recap-
ture Fort Donelson. It was held at that time
by a Union force of less than 830 men, under
Col. A. G. Harding.
The Confederate cavalry was under com-
mand of Gen. N. B. Forrest. Wit-h him were
“’heelgi' and Wharton. They had eleven
regiments of cavalry and nine cannon. They
believed they could get possession of Fort;
Donelson and thus obstruct navigation of
the Cumber' id river.
Shortly flfbul‘ noon, Feb. 3, the Confederates
appeared in force before Fort; Douelson and
demanded its surrender. Col. Harding de-
clined to surrender and proposed to fight.
He had been apprised the day before of the
approach of the Confederates and made
ready for them, with rifle pits and his few
guns planted in commanding positions. He
especially prepared to defend the Fort Henry
road, as it was by that; he obtained his sup-
plies.
Fori'est’s men made repeated charges, all of
which were repelled. As the Confederates
advanced, they filled the air with the famous
“rebel yelli” A counterchnrge was at length
ordered by Col. Harding with fixed bayonets,
which was successful iii clearing the ground
in front. Then the garrison advanced upon
the Confederates in line of battle and con-
tinued firing till 8 o’clock iii the evening.
Then, iii the darkness, Forrest; sent i'na
flag of truce, tagain demanding surrender.
Again Col. llini'tliin,.r refused. After that
Forum; gave up this light; and retired.
At. Sorting llill, Tenn. Mun-ch 5. occurred
the defeat and capture of Col. John Cobur'n
and his brigade by Forrest and Van Born.
March 20, at Milton, Tenn, near Murfrees—
boro, the Confederate Gen. John Morgan
was defeated by Co]. A. S. Hall, with 1,400
men. Morgan wins the attacking party.
April 10, at Franklin, the Union general,
Gordon Granger, with n force of 4.2M) cav-
alry and infantry, repulsed the attack of
Earl Van Dorn with 9,000 men. ~
April 21, a Union force consisting of Col.
John T. “'ilder’s brigade of mounted inn-
fautry, and the First brigade of cavalry
under Col. Robert H. G. Minty, captured
McMiimville, Tenn.
April 27 to May 3 occurred the disastrous
raid of the Union Col. A. D. Strcight inn
northern Georgia, vomiting in the capture of
Streight; and his men by Forrest: and Roddy.
Inn the car] y summer of 1803, Rosecrans pro-
pai'ed for his great: move southward from
Murfrecsboro. Hulleck zit; \Viishington urged
this forward movement, but Rosecrans under-
took it against the advice of his generals.
Brugg’s army was at this time iii the vicin-
ity of Duck river, which appears on the map
below. Gen. Buckner, the present governor
of Kentucky, was in East, Tennessee with
10,000 men. There 'Nasustr‘oug iiitrenched

«10,000 effectives.
Iosect'iniis’ first task iii his southward move-
ments was to take possession of Liberty and

Bragg had four times as inucln cavalry as
Rosecrans. Inn the inionn'ntainous region in
which the two armies were contending cav-
alry was indispensable. Rosecrans had of
mounted men in active service 5,000. Rosc-

but; to reserve his real attack for Bmgg’s

Gen. R. B. Mitchel commanded the first
cavalry division. lti pursuance of the plan
of iniakinga pretense. of attack on Shelby-
ville, Gen. Mitchell made an attack on
Briigg‘s advance guard on the Shelbyvillc-
pike, and drove it in, on the :23d of June.
The same dayseveriil infantry divisions
moved out; of catnip with several days’ rations.
THE FORWARD MOVEMENT.
Thus, June. 223, 180:}, was begun the forward
movement. Roseeruiis’ army started in the
order shown on the map: McCook on the
right, 'l‘lnoiniasin the center, Crittcndeii or.

nostrcnaxs’ MARCH sown.
The corps cominianders met their leader on
the night of June :33, and received their writ-
ten instructions. McCook, with the Twen-
tieth corps, was to advance directly towards
Sliclhyvillc a certain distance, their, turning
to the left on the Winrtruce road, Inc was to
capture Libcr'y (lap from Bragg’s advance
guard and hull it. In the Twentieth corps
were the divisions of Gents. Johnson, Sheri—
dan mnd'Jefl’. C. Davis.
Gen. Thomas, with the Fourteenth corps,
was to advance on the road leading to Man—
chester and capture the mountain pass known
as Hoover’s Gap. Crittenden‘s corps, the
Ttventy-first, as will be scent by the map,
veered far off to the left; and occupied
Mcllliunville, forty miles east; of Mui‘frees-
born.
The drenching rains, so often a marked
feature of advance movements of the north-
ern armies, both cost and west, did not; fail
to attend Rosccmins’ great forward march.
Mountain streams and mountain roads fre-
quently became alike impassable.
FIGHTING JUNE 24 AND 25.
Tlnoromls were so heavy that in some in-
stunces the advancing divisions could make
no more than seven miles iiday. MeCook’s
division started on the march early June 24.
Liberty Gap, in a westerly spur of the Cum-
berland mountains, was the first point at
which McCook’s corps met a Confederate
force. At Hoover's Gap, another mountain
pass east- of Liberty Gap, Thomas’ advanc-
ing- troops encountered the southern soldiers
the same day, J uue 2i. The passes wore de-
fenndedby detachments from Gen. Put Cle-
bui‘nc‘s cotnuniand. Gen. Gordon Granger-’8
division was iii the rear :1 a. reserve support
to .‘.lc(_‘ool: and Thomas.
Col. Harrison, with the Thirty-ninth In;
(liana, was in the advance of McCOck’s corps
for a skirmish line. Immediately behind
him were Willich‘s and Miller’s brigddes, of
.1 nhuston‘s division. After some Sharia fits-hr—
iug they took possession of Liberty Gap.
The next day, June :25, a. detachment from
Hardee’s corps attempted to drive Miller and
W'illich from Liberty Gap. The hottest;
fighting of Rosecranns’ campaign to Tullaho-
ma occurred here. It became too hot for the
Union troops that held the grip. Johnson’s
division and Carliin’s brigade from Davis’
division were sent to their assistance.
Thus rte-enforced, Johnson’s division was
able to hold the gap. Inn the fighting a Minnie
ball passed through the left eye of ‘ Col.
Miller, strangely enough without killing him.
I-Iardec's force was defeated, and aboli-
doned the pass altogether, retreating south-
ward to lllcllbntkle. Iii the fight; at Liberty
Gap J unno 25, J ohnson's division and Carlin’e
brigade lost; 231 men.
On the 24th of June, Gen. Thomas’ corps
broke camp at 4 o’cloek iii the morning
and started iii the direction of Hoover’s Gap.
Col. Jolnnn T. ‘nV'ildcr’s mounted infantry
were in the advance. They drove in the
mounted pickets of the Confederates, and
passed through the grip Reynolds’ division
was immediately following lVilder.
Immediately after \V’ilder had taken pos-
session of Iloriver‘s Gap two Confederate
brigades advanced to attack binni. So early
and so rapid In: ti been his approach that; he
had surprised ( )nnpletcly the Confederates in
the gap, and lad captured it wagon train
with a number :L-f“ prisoners and it drove of
beef cattle.
But the Confederates rallied at once, and
name on to the attack with such spirit that
Wilder’s brigade came near losing their pris-
oncrs and hooves and being captured in their
turn, before Reynolds’ advancing soldiers
could reach them. Reynolds’ division came
in thenick of time, however, and the Corn-
federatcs were driven back to the woods.
’l‘honias’ other divisions occupied the gap
during the night.
The campaign had opened successfully. So
impatient was Gen. Halleck, at “’asliington,
for some decided movement to be made,'or
for a. victory to be gained somewhere, that in
the spring of 1803 he wrote a duplicate letter
to Grant at Vicksburg and Rosecrans int
Murfreesboro. There was a vacant major
generalship iii the regular army at that time,
and in his duplicate letter Hulleck offered
this place to either Grant or Rosecrans,
whichever should first achieve an important
victory. '
The way in which this letter was treated
by the two generals was characteristic of
each. Grant, the silent man, folded his copy
up and laid it away without a word, pro-
-- ceeding with his
plans as if no such
letter was in exist-
ence. Rosecrans,
on the contrary, re-
plied indignautly
to Hulleck that
sucln an “auction-
eering of honors”
he felt to be de-
grading to lnitn as
an officer and a.
citizen. This frank
reply did not gain
favor for Rosecrans inn- the war depart-
ment; at; “'ushington.
Rosecrans had not felt prepared fully to
make the advance of June 23. He had ur-
gently requested that his army be supplied
with revolving rifles, ii. request that was not
complied with from \Vashiiigton.
After the mountain passes were occupied,
Rosecrans waited briefly to see what Brugg’s
next move would be, giving orders mean—
while to his generals to prepare for action at
all points of the advance.
Gen. Thomas was ordered to advance and
attack the Confederates on his right, drive
them westward toward \Vnn'truce, and then
pusln rapidly on south to Manchester. Mc-
Cook’s corps was to follow Thomas to Man-
Chester.
Gux. A. iii’i). it‘coont.
GUY’S GAP, JUNE 27.
Bragg meantime retreated southward.
Gen. Stanley and the Union cavalry had
joined Gen. Grmiger’s division at Christiana.
The road to Shelbyville led through a moun-
tain pass called Guy’s Gap. Granger and
Stanley, on the extreme Federal right, ad-
vanced on Guy's Gap, JuanT. Bragg was
already retreating from Shelbyville, but; he
hadlcfta force at Guy’s Gap, under Gent.
Wheeler.
Minity’s brigade of Uiniou cavalry attacked
this force. He made in sweeping charge
uponn them, and drove them out of the gap.
They retreated into their intrenchnients
north of Shelbyville. Charging them again,
Minty drove tlnetnn into Shelbyville.
Gen. R. B. llIitclnell’sdivision was imnnedi-
ately behind Minty’s cavalry. As the Conn-
federatcs poured into Shelbyville Mitchell
got upon their right and cut off their direct
retreat. They took another mute and at;-
tempted to escape by swimming Duck river.
Some did so, among them Gen. \Vheeler
himself, but many were drowned in the
river. “’heeler’s ai‘tillt’n'y was left behind
in this hurried flight, and 500 of his men
we_re. made prisoners.
'Stifinldyfiiind-Bfifidnell entered Shelbyville,
only to find that Bragg had entirely aban-
donned it; and his strong works there.
Wheeler’s 'avulryhnd been left; behind to
cover his retreat. Granger and Stanley took
possession of Shelbyville, capturing three
guns and a. large store of army supplies.
Col. Minty’s cavalry charges were tinted
throughout the Army of tine Cumberland.
In the advance toward Shelbyvillc another
brigade than Miii- .
ty’s was; at first
inn front. There
seemed, however,
an unaccountable .
delay in its move-
ments. At length
Gen. Stanley, out;
of all patience, sent
an aide to Minty
with this order:
“Col. Minty—Gen. "
Stanley rcqu es ts5'/. - . - .
you to move to the COL- MISTY-
f rout; the brigade iii the advance is so slow
he cannot do anything with it.”
Some of the hottest; fighting of the affair
of J une 27 took place in the public square of
the town of Shelbyvillc. Here Gen. “’heelcr
had planted eight; guns. lVith these he
opened upon Minty’s brigade as it: swept into
the town.
It was at; this moment Minty learned that
he had nearly the whole of Bragg’s cavalry
opposed to him. Wheeler was Bragg’s chief
of cavalry. Forrest, \Vharton and Martin
were his division commanders. Forrest was
not immediately with lVliecler, but was not
far away, and was rapidly advancing with
his division, Learning this, Minty used all
his energies to defeat “’heeler before the
junction should be effected.
Col. Minty gave his orders one after an-
other, withjnstantaueous rapidity. Several
* : pieces of artillery
were put into pO<
sition to rake tlno
square. The mo-
ment 1; h e y were
fired Capt. C. C.
Davis was ordered
to charge in on the
square wi 11 the

" *” saber-s a l o f t and
with a shout that;
equaled even the
rebel yell, Capt.
Davis and his men dashed into the Shelby-
ville square upon the Confederate artillery.
It was a. scene of wild excitement. The
charging column spurred their horses ova!
the grins at a. gallop, sabered the gunners and
rushed madly upon the Confederate cavalry.
Capt. Davis himself, saber in hand, (le-
manded the surrender of one of the guns 'us
those inn charge of it were eudeavoring to
carry it: off the field. Both gun and gunner-s
were surrendered. ‘
In in very few moments all was over in the
public square, and thousands of Confederate
cavalry were fleeing for their lives. Forrest
endeavored to join them, riding at in gallop
toward Shelbyville, but before he reached
the town Wheeler’s men were already for on
the road in their flight. Forrest made a do—
tour to the right to escape the town and
crossed Duck river four miles out of Shelby-
villc. The Union troops pursued as far as
Duck river and then returned.
There was one bridge by which Wheeler
had intended to make good his escape across
Duck river. It: was called Scull Camp bridge.
It was near Shelbyville, and when the Con—
federates were driven from the public square
the, made a wild rush for Scull Catnip bridge.

Capt. C. G. Davis received honorable men-
tion for the Shelbyville charge. Gen. Rosc-

cavalry the “Saber Regiment of the Army of
the Cumberland.” Gen. Thomas, meanwhile,
on the center, had advanced from his catnip
at Beech Grove, near Liberty Gap, and made
the attack against the Confederates on his
right, June 26. The continuous and extra-
ordinary rains retarded all the movements of
the Army of the Cumberland at this time,
and it was near noon before Thomas could
attack on his right. He was, however, suc-
cessful. and cleared the way for the advance
to Manchester. The Confederates retreated
IA} rullny‘ld, uu LL». :-
J nine 27, Rosecrans’ headquarters were at
Manchester. “'ilder’s mounted infantry had
taken possession of the town in the early
morning of that day. By evening Thomas’
whole corps was in the town ready for the
advance to Tnllahomrn, twelve miles distant. '
In pursuing the Confederates to Fuirfield,
neur \Vartrace, Thomus’ soldiers found that
Hardee‘s corps, that had held ”War-trace, had
retreated and their camp was abandoned.
McCook and Crittendcn were forwarding
their troops over the heavy roads towards
Manchester as rapidly as possible. Crititen-
den was coming down from McMinnville.
While waiting for these corps, Rosecrans,

southward to burn the railway bridge over
Elk river and destroy the railroad from
Cowan to Decherd. Part of the command
was detailed to operate on the railroad, part;
to dulti‘oy the bridge. The expedition to
Decherd was successful.
When, however, the detachment that had
been sent to burn the bridge reached it, they
found it already heavily guarded by the
Confederates. Rosecrans’ precautions were
taken too late. He
had hoped to de-
stroy the railroad
and force Bragg to
light on the .north
side of Elk river.
But Bragg had i11-
rendy escaped
south of Elk river
and was guarding
the bridge.

Bragg’s army was intrenched at Tulla-
homo. Rosecrans prepared to fight. He
caused his engineers to examine the ground
about Tulluhomn. with a view of gaining
Bragg’s rear. The report being favorable, in
division of Crittenden’s corps was ordered to
begin the execution of this movement.
July 1 should have seen it completed, and a
battle would have taken place at Tullahoinu.
But when Steedniait’s brigade of Thomas’
corps advanced cautiously to Tullahomn
July 1, lolthe bird had flown. Bragg had
evacuated Tulluhoma June 30,
Bragg had crossed the Elk river at‘ Estelle
Springs and retreated toward Chattanooga.

OVER THE MOUNTAINS.
Rosecrans 10le not a. moment, but hastened
on in pursuit. Skirmishes occurred with
the rear of Bragg’s retreating army, July 1
and 2. But Bragg’s main army was safe out
of danger. He crossed the Cumberland
mountains rapidly, and then marched to
Bridgeport, Ala. Hero crossing the Tennes-
see river, he took up anew his line of march
and paused not till he reached Chattanooga
with his army. He arrived at Chattanooga
the first week in July, and made that his
headquarters. Then he wrote to Gen. J ohn-
ston iii Mississippi, “The Tennessee river
will be taken as our line.”

summer of 1862 thus ended back at Chatta-

GRANGER.
GEN
FROM TULLAHOMA SOUTh.
Chattanooga, was now the point aimed at
by Rosecrans. He followed on south, crossed
the Elk river and gathered his many together
at Winchester.
Rosecrans was now over 200 miles away
from his supplies. He was obliged to paus'e
a while, and Wail; till they could be brought
in
).
IA giant‘s task confronted him. He pre-
pared to cross the Cumberland mountains
with his heavy wagon trains. Clearing them,
lno next: proposed to cross the Tennessee
river into Lookout; valley.
Rosecrans’ position will be understood
fgqmgtgg map. He was now int Winchester,
an. .21.:- southwestern t'Oot or the LlllnDOl‘lflllu
mountains in Tennessee. Tito Nashville and
, Chattanooga railroad passed through \Viu—
clicstcr, their on southward to'Stevenson in
northern Alabama. Thence it turned sharply
eastward and led to Chattanooga, Tenn.
Rosecrans established his base of supplies
at Stevenson, and brought largo stores down
the railroad to that point. All this required
tithe, and it: was not till Aug. 8 that. the Union
army was prepared to move. A week before
that Gen. Ilnlleck had sent from “'ashington
inn order to Rosecrans to advance at onnce and
report; progress daily to thewui‘ department.
ltoanRANs’ EASTWARD MARCH.
The plan adopted by Rosecrans was a stu-
pendous one. Bragg was§0 well fortified by
this time in Chattanooga that a direct attack
would have beenn useless. Rosecrans deter~
ininncd to march his main .urnny southivnrd
and eastward through Alabama and Georgia,
south of Chattanooga. and flank Bragg on
the left. After crossing the Tennessee river
at Bridgeport, his difficulties wéuld not be
more than begun.
After that unumber of mountain ranges
must; be crossed by the various divisions of
his army. These were short- spurs of the
Cumberland, exceedingly difficult: to dross,
and known as tlze Raccoonfi‘land and Look?
out mountains, also Mission Ridge, after-
ward to become classic in our country’s
story.
Bragg at Chattanooga drew his supplies
over two railroads, one from East Tennessee,
the other the Atlanta road from the south
through Dalton. Gen. Burnside was ex-
pected to render useless that in East Ten-
nessee. Rosecrans‘ advance to the south and
east of Chattanooga would take care of that
inn Georgia.
The march of the Army of the Cumber-
land through the mountains of Alabama and
Georgia inn the summer of 1803 calls to mind
Napoleon‘s famous passage of the Alps. Cer-
tainly it was not less difficult than that.
At the same time with the advance move-
ment of the Unionn army, it was necessary
before all to deceive Bragg us to the real
route taken. To this end Rosecrans divided
his army. Crittenden’s corps made an ad-
vance eastward on Chattanooga through the
Sequntchie valley. Two of Crittenden’s
brigades, Hazen‘s mnd.“"uguer’s, had indeed
taken the eastward march directly ovei‘.tlte
mountains, \Vngiier from Winchester, Hazen
front still further north. Minty’s cavalry

three corps, Thomas’, McCook‘s and Clifton-
dent’s, can be traced on the map.
The movement of Rosecriius’ army began
Aug. 10, from “Winchester. The advance had
already occupied Stevenson and Bridgeport.
The first task before the troops was the
crossing of the Cumberland mountains in
Tennessee. The passage was made from Aug.
10 to Aug. :21. Next before the advancing
army liny the Tennessee river to be crossed.
Rains had swollen it, and it was wide and
full. The crossing was attendcl with difli—
culty, and it was not till Sept. 4 not the lust
of “Old Rosy’s” men found hinniself on the left
bank of the Tennessee. They crowed at four
different points. The three corps were widely
separated by this time, the line of udviince
extending over 150 miles.
Then came the most
difficult part: of the
w o r k , mountain
marches tln r o u gh
Alabama.

BRAGG’S MOVEMENTS.
By Sept. 8, the movements Rosecrans had
plainned for his several corps were com-
pleted. The marches were made as secretly
as possible, so as to mislead Bragg as to'
the movements south of Chattanooga. But
Bragg was shortly aware of the where-
abouts of the Union army, and know its full
significance. If the _
Atlanta rail 1‘ o a (1
should be de-
stroyed and
Thomas and Mc-
Cook should close
in on him on the
south . and east,
then he would be
caught in Chatta- '
nooga like a. rat in ,
a trap. It would - - 1‘.‘
be easy to starve“
him out, as Pem-
berton had j ust
been starved out in
Vicksburg. Bragg prepared once more to
move on. I
He had with him about Chattanooga 45,000
men. His army, before he received re—en-
forceiuents, was equal to Rosecrans‘, the
Union commander having been obliged to
detail numerous regiments to guard his long
line of communication behind him.
Bragg marched out of Chattanooga Sept.
hind 6. He went southward to Lafayette,
Aln., a town to the east of Pigeon mountains.
Here he waited for Rosecrans’ next move in
this game of retreat and advance. Safe out-
side of Chattanooga, where he could com-
mand the road furnishing his supplies, he
could, if necessary, even take the offensive.
The fall of Vicksburg had released 15,000
Confederate soldiers from Johnston’s army
for the revenforcement of Bragg. Buckner’s
command. from East Tennessee, had also re-
enforced Bragg.
At Lafayette Bragg hind Thomns‘ corps in
front of him. Crittenden, with the Union
left, was something over twenty miles to the
right of him. McCook, with the right wing,
having crossed Sand and Lookout moun-
tains, was about the same distance away o'n
Bragg’s left.
As early as Aug. 30 Gent. Thomas learned
of the heavy i‘e-enforcements that had come
to Bragg from Johnston. After crossing
the Tennessee, Sept. 4, Thomas’ four; divis-
ions marched directly on over the mountains
into Wills valley. Negley's division was in
the advance. A brigade from it was sent
for-word at once ‘eii‘stward tosei'ne Stevens’
gap; in the Lookout mountain range. The
Eighteenth Ohio regiment advanced as for
us' the top of Lookout mountain. They met
Confederate pickets. This was Sept. 0.
Negley’s advance fell back and waited till
next day. Then, going forward with re-
enforced numbers, it took possession of the
top of Lookout mountain at this point. By
Sept. 10 Negley’s division had crossedMis-
sionury ridge and gained McLemore‘s cove.
They found the Confederate cayulry drawn
up in line to meet them across’the entrance
to Dug gap. They found. furthermore, what
seemed to be it. whole Confederate army, ar-
tillery and all. in front of them.
There had been rumors before this that
Bragg had evacuated Chattanooga. 0n the
morning of Sept. 9 it regiment from Rey-
nolds’ division ‘of 'l‘hotnus’ corps was sent
along the top of Lookout mountain to recon-
inoitei'. ‘
The regiment from Reynolds’ division was
mounted. Astho men rode along they ex-
tended their reconnoissances nearer and
nearer to Chattanooga. Towards noon they
canine to the town itself. They found the lust;
of Bragg’s army in the act of leaving.
Sept. 8, Rosecrans had becoune certain by
the great number of the enemy on Negley’a
front that Chattanooga had been abandoned
by Bragg. _He sent a. dispatch nit. once to
Ci-ittennden, on the north, to take five days‘
rations and start in pursuit. Cn-ittenden
received this message at 0 o’clock on the
manning of the 9th.
McCook Inna likewise executed the part of
the plain assigned to him, and was now in
Wills‘ valley, between the Sand and Mokout
ranges. Sept. 9 Rosecrans sent him orders
to hasten his march eastward and intercept
Brngg’s retreat southward, and attack his
right flank.
Accordingly McCook hurried to Alpine,
across the Lookout mountain range, and en-
campL-il there. He was not long in discover-
ing that he was alone on the east; side of
Lookout valley; that Bragg was not retreat-
ing southward and seemed to have no inten-
tion of doing so; that, finally, the valley east
of Lookout innountain was full of Confed-
erates, so that he himself could not commu-
nicate with Thomas’ corps.

Palmer’s and Van
Cl e v e ’ s divisions
were started south
to obey the order
of Rosecrans for a
vigorous pursuit.
Another order
came to Crittenden
Sept. 9 that he
should leave onnly a
brigade in Chatta-
nooga. and hasten
on southeast with
the rest of his
corps in the direc-
tion of Riiiggold
and Dalton, Ga. That was thought to be the
line of Brngg’s retreat.
Accordingly the next morning, Sept. 10,
Crittendon left only lVagnor’s brigade in
Chattanooga, and taking also \Vood’s divi-
sion continued on southeast.
This then was the situation of the . posing
armies Sept. 11: Bragg was at; La nyette,
Go... in a. mountain valley about twenty
miles south of Chattanooga. Crittenden’s
corps of Rosecrmis’ army was at Ringgold,
Ga., fifteen miles northeast of Bragg. Mc-
Cook’s corps was at Alpine, just in the
Western edge of Georgia. and fifteen miles
south of Bragg. Only Thomns’ corps was in
front of and a. little north of Bragg, at the
eastern foot of Mission Ridge.
The corps were thus widely separated, and
McCook was not. in communication with the
others at all.
Southeast of Missionn Ridge, the short spur
on the east of which Thomas was, is another
short mountain range called Pigeon moun-
tain. Bragg drew up his army on the east
side of Pigeon mountain, and a little, west of
LafayettoLnnd there waited developments.
He kept himself thoroughly well acquainted
with the movements of the Union army, and
knew where each corps was. Heavy re-en-
forcements were on the way to meet him,
and for these he waited. Part of his com-
mand was at Leo &. Gordon’s mills, 11- noted
local point ten miles north of Lafayette.
Up to Sept. 11 Rosecrans had not been cer-
tain of Bragg‘s whereabouts. But; as Crlt‘
tenden's corps moved southward to Ring-
gold, one of his divisions (Palmer’s) reported
“the enemy strong upon his front.” At the
some time Gent. IVood, making a i'econiiois~
sauce, advanced quite to Gordon’s mills, and
reported great numbers of Confederates in
the vicinity of Lafayette. ROsecruns, aware
that his three corps were scattered by a day’s
march or more, began to take measures to
unite them with all speed. Here was an ex-
cellent opportunity for Bragg to fall upon
his detached columns and execute the favor-
ite military maneuver of beating them in
detail. Bragg was no longer retreating.
Rosecrans sent hasty orders to Crittenden
to concentrate his
corps near Lee &
Gordon’s mills.
Sept. 12 Crittenden
directed Col. Wil-
der’s brigade to
cover the left flank
of the infantry of
this corps on their
march to Lee 8: #5.,
Gordon's mills, to %: ’ "
0 b e y Rosecrans’i-
order. On the
m a r c h \Vilder’s
men had a hot skir-
mish with the Com
feeder-ates, and lost
a number of men
in killed and wounded. Crittenden, how-
ever, was able to mass his command at Lee
& Gordon’s mills, ready for the battle, which
both sides now perceived was imminent.
We left Thomns’ corps at McLeinore's
Cove, on the east side of Mission Ridge.
Negléy’s division was iii the advance. Bragg,
knowing well the position of Thomas, alone
at McLemore‘s Cove, with the whole Confed-
erate army in front of him, prepared for a
decisive stroke. He ordered Gen. Hiindman
to move his division opposite Negley
for an immediate attack. Buckner,
with his command of Kentuckians and
Tennesseenns, was ordered to follow on
immediately and join Hindmnn in front of
McLemore’s Cove. Bragg’s own headquar-
ters were at this time at Lafayette.
To'fui‘ther strengthen the attacking force,
Polk’s command was ordered to the cove to
support: Hindman.
Negley was considerably in advance of the
main body of Thomas‘ corps. It: was at
Stevens’ Gap, While Negley was Several miles
further eastward, near Dug’s Gap
FIGHT OF SEPT. 11.
Thus Negley, with one division, had
Bragg’s whole army in front of him. He
discovered this just in time to prevent his
division from being crushed, and just in time
to save Thomas’ corps from disaster. Brig.
Gen. Baird’s division was some distance in
Negley’s rear.
Negley' summoned Baird to come to him
with till speed. By 8 o’clock a. in. Sept. 11
Baird was in supporting distance.
Bragg had ordered Hindmnn to attack
N egley at McLemon-e’s Cove at daylight Sept.
11. The order added: “Cleburne will attack
in front the moment your guns are heard.”
Bragg and Cleburfne waited for Hindmnn’s
guns to be heard from McLemore’s Cove at
dawn. Hours passed, and still they waited.
Noon came, yet not a. guu'hud been heard.
One, two o’clock p. m., and still 'no sound
from McLemore’s Cove. Three o’clock, boom,
boom'from‘ the northwest mmbunced that the
attack was on.
Cleburne hastened to the sane. Negley
was no longer at Dug’s Gap. He_ had taken
advantage of the' delay in Hindman’s attack
to fall back to Thomns’ main body at Stevens’
Gap. Hindman’s attack was made on Neg-
Iey’s left. Negley resisted the attack as best
he might while he was withdrawing his
divisions. There was some severe fighting,
but Negley was able to reach Thomas’ corps
without the loss of a wagon or a. gun, at 10
o’clock at night, Sept. 11. Hindmnn’s delay
in attacking had saved him. Bragg’s first
attempt to crush .Rosecrans’ corps singly
had oiled.
t
Then the Confederate 'leader turned his at-
tention to Crittenden. Sept. 12, Crittenden
had moved his corps from Ringgold to Lee
8; Gordon’s mills. Bragg had givenstren-
nous orders to Polk Sept. 11 to attack Grit;
tenden's corps beforot 6 whole force could
be brought from Ringgold and concentrated.
He wrote to Polk also on the 12th:
“This presents you a fine opportunity of
striking Crittendeu in detail an I hope you
will avail yourself of it at daylight to—mor-
row. This division! crushed, the others are
yours. We can then turn on the force in
the Cove." .
But Bragg’s generals did not obey him
rombtl , and the op ortunity to crush
ritteu en's corps was 0 lost.
The-next move in the campaign was the
battle of Chickamauga.

Career of a. Dauseuse.
“I began my dancing career at t he age 0
7 as one of the pupils, or ‘rats,’ as they are
called, and went on laboring until I was 10.
At thisage the primary education of an ‘out‘
pupil is generally terminated, the neophyte
being then sufficiently advanced to go up for
examination.
“At this stage the ‘rats’ venture on the
quadrillw', bi_it hove to pass through another
examination fob-the new grade. Even when
fairly launched, aspirants have still to prac-
tice two hours at home daily. In ndditibn to
this come the rehearsals, the work done be-
fore the public, the morning lessons, etc.
“What pay do we get at the Paris opera
for such hard work? The tariff varies with
the grade of the dancer. The ‘out’ pupils, or
‘rnts,’ are paid at the rate of forty cents for
each appearance; the demoiselles do quad-
rn'lle, 820 to $40 a month; the coryphees, $50
to 860; the sujets, $60 to $120; the dancers in
the first; rank, 8120 to- $300; and the ‘stnrs,’
$5,000 to $6,000 a year.
“Advancement comes very slowly. It is
considered a great thiiig to move up as I did
from the second to the first quadrille. The
next step upward is to the envied position of
premiere coryphee, possessing the superb
emoluments of 8720 1]. year. Finally, after
years and years of patient study, the dancing
girl attains the summit of her ambition, and
rises into a. petit sujet, which gives her an
individuality before the footlights. It took
me fifteen years to reachthis giddy height
of glen-y and pay, the latter being $1,000 per
nnnium.
“Stars seldom rise from the ranks.
Elssiers and Tuglionnis form a. class apart.
“some of the women who appear today in

Male Versus Female Journalists.
When a. mule writer begins to rust out he
takes to drink. What does a woman do? Can
any one tell me? So far as memory aids me,
it seems to me that women who work hard at
literature die while working, unless they
marry young and give up their work. They
get; tired to death and then lie down and die,
but they never become the wrecks men do.
By the way, it has just occurred to me that
sampling liquids is not confined to broken
down journalists, for it is the failing of
many a. brilliant, hard working writer. Per-
haps the sampling superinduces rest. But
brilliant women do not indulge in such ex-
cesses. Perhaps that is the reason they die
in harness—Marie Flaacke in The Journalist.
CARE OF THE HAIR.
A COMB AND A BRUSH THE BEST
PRESERVATIVES. ‘
Disastrous Results of the Drowning Pro-
cess—Various Kinds of Brushes—To
Keep a Clean, lleznlnny Scalp—Caro of
tho Complexion.
Men worry themselves bold and women
Wash their heads bare. It: makes very little
difference what happens to the head of a mule
so 10-; (IS he doesn’t lose it, but the very best
hair preservative for women and children is
a comb and brush. Soap and water rot the
hair without; cleansing the scalp. Take, for
instance, two children iii the same family,
and, by way of experiment, comb and brush
one curly head and comb and shampoo the
other for five or six years. Unless the chil-
drenn belong to a hairless family the former
will Show a wig 50 per cent. better in quality
and abundance than the crop of the sister,
who has been soused eight or nine times a
month. Perhaps in. better illustration isfhe
drowning process current among men, most
of whom duck their heads inn cold water
every morning and duck the life out of the
hair before tlno age of 30. The dry wash is
worthy of trial, but the benefits must not be
looked for int less thniithrco years.
As in beginning invest in a. long black
comb having two grades of teeth. Any com-
positon will do but metal, which is objec-
tionable on account; of the heat engendered
in the friction. A good rubber comb is
about the best, not; only on account of the
elasticity of the rack,.but against the glossy
black every particle of dust and soil shows.
To intake in perfect toilet the “racking” should
last until the comb passes through the hair
clean. Part of the service must be a towel with
which to wipetlne comb every time it is drawn
through the hair. A brush will cost any
where frbm $1 to $50, according to the money
one may care to put in the mounting. Silver
bound gavels are very expensive, the shell
backs come next and pretty ivories and cellu-
loids sell at $5 and $1. There are rubber
goods for S3 and the best wood mounts for a
dollar less. -
For real service nothing is better than a
narrow, palnnwood, wild boar bristle brush
made of the natural hair, which need not
cost; more than $1. There are the.“bnrber
brushes” served with black bristles, which a.
woman doesn’t want, as the color hides the
dirt. \Vhite bristles are better but less ser-
viceable, as the bleaching weakens the hair.
but the best is the natural color, containing
a. mixture of gray, brown and black. Used
every day n‘dollar brush will last two months,
but after that it is not of much account for
cleaning the hair. In fact, no brush is worth
bureau room when it will not reach through
the hair to the scalp. There are, to be sure,
different; purposes to which hair brushes are
put. Some people buy them to equip a drese
ing case; others to clean the comb on; still
others to smooth the hair with after it has
been combed, and a few to dress the hair and
cleanse the scalp. If intended for this last
service icing life cannot be expected from it.
By way of care don“t soak the brush; the
bristles can be washed without swelling and
splitting the back. A better plan is to clean
it with n. cloth utter each using. But, re-
turning to tine toilet, it is not time wasted to
spend thirty minutes a. day on the hair, first:
using the comb, then the brush, and finally
the comb to dress it. Now, it is a long time
to comb the hair steadily for fifteen minutes,
and unless the work is done in the face of a.
clock the OperatLou will be brought: ton finish
inn ten minutes or less, for the arms will tire
and the neck and shoulders perspire if the
hair is thick and abundant. However, it: is
the best; way and the uni y way to keep a clean,
healthy scalp and get; it glossy, natural
dressing on the hair. There are inn all the
hair shops young 'women who go out to dress
hair, spending an hour or so every day in
each family. The mother or child is placed
in a. chair barber fashion, with a towel
pinned about the neck and shoulders. After
the hair has been vigorously combed the
clerk looks the scalp over with ii. bit of soft
cloth saturated with sweet: oil, which is ap-
plied to dandruff spots. After the scruff has
been loosened the scalp, not the hair, is
combed, and then follows a. thorough brush-
ing until oven-y particle of loose and decayed
skin has been removed. As a. final touch the
tresses are superficially brushed until the
hair looks oily.
For the woman who has to spend her sum-

it is possible to keep clean with dry bathing,
but recourse must be made to some sort of
protection if the complexion is to be saved.
Of all the powders in the market pink, white,
cream and mother of pearl or buff, the sim-
plest and finest is the best. A large number
of the most expensive powders contain bis-
muth and magnesia, which are not beneficial
as cosmetics. Some physicians consider his-
muth actually poisonous, but the fact; that it
has been constantly used by women of good
face is a strong argument in its favor.
Whether it will agree with all complexions is
another question, and the best thing that can
be said in its favor is it. adhesivenem. It
sticks like white lead, and that; is the quality
most desired in make ups. Lead, however, is
baneful. No woman who values her health
will use it, since it cannot; be applied with-
out being absorbed by the system. Its effects
are most serious, resulting often in idiocy
and paralysis.
The best, safest and cheapest powder is
rice flour, and to make sure of” its purity the
rice can be purchased whole and pounded in
a mortar for use. Second choice is French
chalk, which forms the best protection
against sun, tan and weather burn. For a.
picnic, a sail, a sunny drive or a. long walk,
a. coating of chalk is as good a protection fer
the face and neck as a veil. Powder is an
excellent preventative against a. face that: is
in exposure to dust, smoke, soot or storm.
Properly applied it. acts as a. go between, re-
ceiving the dirt which otherwise would fill
the pores of the skin. Before retiring it
should be rubbed off first with a soft cloth
and the face washed with cold cream or sweet
oil. it is not so much powder as the applica-
tion afterward of hard water and ammonia
soup that; injures the skirt.
Inn applying powder it is well to bathe the
face with cream, and just before it dries dust
the powder over the face and remove any
surplus particles with a. soft cloth. In using
powder containing bismuth one must avoid
all gaseous atmospheres, as they turn it to a
gray, unhealthy color. Every woman has
her favorite, and it; only remains to have it
applied correctly and for her to understand
what is and what is not injurious to make a
nice appearance—Chicago Times. .

A Horrible Inheritance.
The transmission of the fearful effects
of contagious blood poison is the most
horrible inheritance which any man
can leave-to his innocent posterity; but
it can be certainly mitigated and in the
majority of cases, prevented by the
use of the antidote which Nature fur-
nishes, and which is found in the reinc-
dy known all over the world as Swift’s
Specific—commonly called “8. S. S."
Mr.J.H.Browu, or Hornellsvllle N.Y.,
writes: “Three years I suflerecl with
. this horrible disease. Swift’s Specific
cured me completely."
Prof. Edwin Bear, 234 E. 22nd st.,N.Y.,
writes: “Swift‘s Specific cured me
of a fearful case of Blood Poison."
Dr. B. F. Win field, of the Soldier’s
Home, Richmou , Vin, writes: "Swift’s
Specific cured mo of a severe case of
Blood Poison."
D. W. K. Briggs, Brooklyn, N. Y.,
writes: “I was a perfect: wreck from
Blood Poison. Swift’s Specific restored
health and hope, and I am well 10-day.”
C. W. Laingtnitl, Savannah, Ga:
suffered long With Blood Poison. I tried
Swift's Specific and um perfectly well.
A. W. Each, of Power’s Hotel, Roch-
ester, N.Y., writes: “It is the best blood
remedy on can-tin. I cured myself with
it. [recommended it to niriend and it
made him well."
Mr. I“. L. Stanton, of the Smithvlllc,
(0a.) News. writes that a friend was
afflicted with a case of Blood Poison,
and two bottles of S. S. S. effected in
