The famous battle takes its name from' a
creek or small river that. flows north through
the valley between Mission Ridge and Pigeon
. mountains, and empties into the Tennuee
four miles :1va Chattanooga.
With Bragg, Sept. 13, were four corps:
Those of Buckner, Polk, Walker and D. H.
Hill. D. H. Hillhadbeen sent from Rich-
mondtotake command of Hurlee’s corps. '
By the arrival of Longstreet from Lee’s
army Bragg had five corps.
In the fight of Sept. 20. Confederate autho-
rities put the Union force at nearly 46, 000, and
the Confederate at 4.0, 000. Federal figures
say Bragg had 70,000, Rosecrans 55,oool
effectives. With Bragg we're many Confed-
crate soldiers who had been captured at
Vicksburg and Port Hudson and been paroled,
but who had not yet been exchanged.
Sept. 13 McCook’s corps wasstillatAlpine,
in the western edge of Georgia. At midnight
of that day he received an order to hurry
with all speed and support Thonlas -'at t
Stevens Gap, on the east side of Mission‘
Ridge. When McCook first reached Alpine,
finding himself isolated from the rest of the ’i ' '
Union army, he had sent his wagon train
back to the top of Lookout range.

instructions were to move two divisions of

It will be seen that the attack of Gen.
Thomas on the Confederate right before
Bragg’s 111 my was ready, on the morning of
Sept. 19,1:banged this plan of battle.
It was For rest’s cavalry that Gen. Thomas'
troops met and attacked on the road to Reed’s
bridge early Sept. 19. The attacking Union
force was Brig. Gen. John T. Croxton's
brigade.
Behind For-1 . st’s cavalry were two brigades
of Confederate infantry. Croxton d1 eve the
cavalry back upon the infantry. These brig-
ades, Ector’s and Wilson’s, in turn advanced
and drove Ci'cxton back upon Bairdand
Brannau. Then the Confederates were
beaten back like a receding wave again 'by
Baird and Branuau.
There wen, however, many more Confed-
erates than one brigade across on the west
bank of the Chickamauga in‘ the vicinity of
the Reed's bridge road. Gen. Baird, after
driving back Ector and Wilson, paused
briefly to his line. At this mo-
ment Liddell’s whole Confederate divisidn,
2,000 strong, struck him.
The Union troops receded again, “as a
wave beatenback from the shore ” When
the Union wave receded, it left stranded on
the place where it had been Loomis’ battery
and Bush‘s Indiana battery. These were
quickly taken powession of by the victorious
columns of Liddell.
Baird’s broken lines were melting away in
confusion. Liddell’s Confederates hastened
_jubi_lantly after them, when suddenly the
planners found themselves cacti-outed by a
Baird had managed to reform his division
on the right. In addition, one of McCcok’s
divisionsa from Crawfish Spring had arrived
in the nick of time.
Only for this arrival it would have been
hard for Thomas to save his left on the fore-
noon of Sept. 19. Gen. Rosecrans himself,
apprehensive for Thomas, had ordered Me-
000 to sandalohnsm to his lstsncaj: The 1

only just' in time. "

turned and retreated before the attack of
Johnson’s freshly arrived division. The re-
treating columns lost heavily in killed,
woundedandcaptured, and were for to
leave behind all the Union guns theyhad p-
tin-ed.
Just after Liddell was driven from the
field about 11 o‘clock a. m. Gen. Bragg or-
dered Cheatham's division, 7,000 strong, to
go to his relief. But Cheatbam was too late.
As ledell fled Gen. Thomas quickly organ-
lsed a pursuing column. Two more fresh di-
visions bad just arrived to assist Thomaxf.

Behind the Confederate division of A. P.

tack of Stewart strongly, driving back both
Palmer and Van Cleve.
It was now hear 8 o’clock in the afternoon.
The four of battle was growing more and
more terrific. The Union troops, listening
__anxlously down at Crawfish Spring, knew by
the veering of the sound gradually to the
wistward that Thomas' men were being
driven. The divisions of Wood, Davis,
Sheridan, and finally Negley, were sent one
after another .fo the scene of action. Van

he too was about to succumb.
But Gen. Phil Sheridan’s division came on
just in time to save Wood's division- and the

in pursuit, they were met by a volley from

quickly, the skillful commander turned his
men again to the front at a double quick, and
dealt a volley anew to the fresh masses of
Confederafm. By this means be checked the
Confederates till he could move to the rear
and form a new line.
At this time the Confederates were actually
in possession of the road to Chattanooga.
They were theforces of Hood and Bushrod
Johnson. But while they were hastening on
victorious across thereud to Chattanooga,
Hazen dashed down the road and brought
into position some unoccupied batteries
there. With thoseho enfiladed the Confed-
erates as they bore onward over the ground
which Van Cleve’s division had yielded.
Capt. Kimberley writes of the situation at
this moment, the close of Sept. 19: “Bragg
had actually crossed the Rossville road and
cut the Army of the Cumberland in two,
with nothing' in the gap but one regiment of
803 men. ”
But Hansen’s batteries and that one regi-
ment kept the Confederates back until Neg-
ley’s division came to the rescue, when the'
Confederates were in turn diiven; Then
night and theelose of the day's battle came
to ether., arid
a'oicaud ubrllling incidents there were
it Chic in plenty. Capt J. W.
Miller, now literary editor of The Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, has recently written a
reminiscence of Sberidan' in that day’s fight.
“I saw Sheridan lead onb of his brigades
(Laibold’s) under fire across a clemed field
and place it exactly where he wanted it. He
came galloping back on his famdus black
horse "(I never saw him on any other) with but
off, sword flashing, and face glowing with
the magnificent pouch of fia‘battlefield.
He passed me, then turned in his stirrups,
and said: ‘We’re driving them, d—m them. ’
In two or three minutes he came in view
again with another brigade.

given for the Union troops togointo pesi- "
tion. The divrsions were formedin line just
as they came, without reference to the corps
to which they belonged.
Longstreet reached Bragg from the cast
at 11 p.111. Hood's division of his corps had
arrived before and had taken part in the
battle that day. That night Bragg, in mili-
tary parlance, “changed his organization
in face of the enemy,” as commanders
are warned not to do. Bragg divided his
army into two wings, the right under Polk,
the left under Longstreet. To Polk were
assignedrthe forces of Hill, Walker’aud
Cheatham, with Forrest’s cavalry. With
Longstreet were to be the commands of
Buckner, Hood and Hindman, and Wheeler's
fcavalry.

Gen. Romraas made some changes in his
line, bidding McCook make the right shorter
and more compact. He found the same fault '
with McCook’s alignment of the right .‘wing
that he had done at Stone river: the line was
too long and thin. The comaiander—iu-chief

It was impossible for the few brigades with

were overpowered and captured.

There was now left of the Union army
Thomas, the Rock of Chickamauga. With

had formed new in a line1from east to west.
Two brigades of Negley’s and one of Van

What had become of Thomas? was the
question now in the
imind of the com-
mander in chief. '
Rosecrans was cut
off entirely from

of men in gray that.
surged between.
He did not know
whether Thomas

or whether he, too, '
had not been over
whelmed. [At this
time Gen. James
A. Garfield; Rose. "rim ROCK or onion-
crans’ chief of staff, “WIN"
. made the journey on horseback that has be-
come historic.
GARFIELD’S FAMOUS RIDE.
The brave chief of staff left the com-
mander in chief at Rossvllle, and rode
around a distance of many miles, threading
his way through bullets and gathering foes
till he reached the Union left, and found it
stood firm.
Gen. Thomas, the hero of Chickamauga,
on learning of the
disaster to the
right, hastily
placed the troops
with him in a posi-
tion of his own se-
lection. It was
upon a curving
range of bills called
Horseshoe ridge.
He “placed himself
‘ with his back
a rock,
GEN. STEEDMAN. and stood his
ground for six hours aghinst the repeated
assaults of the whole Confederate army.
, Garfield reached Thomas, and was greeted
warmly. The glorious soldier foldbim he
had seven divisions and a number of detach-
ments intact, and was confident he could still
hold his ground against any numbei' of as-
saults. There were with him 25,000 troops.
Garfield hastily dispatched the good news to
the chief.
At Rossville Rosecrans had parted from
Garfield. The aide went to find Themes, the
commander rode hastily to Chattanooga, to
prepare a refuge for the remnants of his
broken army, if the defeat was total, or to
forward ammunition and supplies if Thomas
was still intact.
McCook and Crittenden, escaping from the
wreck, soon after joined him. While they
sat dejecfcdly together, a dispatch was
handed to" Rosecrans. It was the one Gar-
field sent from the Union left. Rosecrans
read it hastily. “Thank God!" he exclaimed,
“the day isn’t lost yet.” “Gentlemen,” he
said to McCock and Crittenden, "this is no
place for you; G0 at once to your commands
at the front.”
The dispatch infused new life into him.
' He ordered Wagner to take his b_i'i'gadO,stop
the flying stragglers from the front andw
organize them. He at once said: suppliesfo
meet the army at Rossville.
Thomas fought till night, then withdrew
his army to Rossvllle. At the most critical
period of the afternoon Gen. Gordon Gran-
ger brought his reserve force on the field
fruin Rossvllle to the aid of Thomas and
saved the day. His advance brigade was
led by Gen. J. B. Steedman. Gen. Steed-
man took a regimental color in his own
' hands and led 'avictoricus charge against
Longstreet and took possession of a perilous
gap in the Union line. At dark the Confed-
entesgave up, the fight and left the field.
Their last attack was repulsed with the
naked bayonet.
In his report Rosecrans makes especial
mention of the gallantry cf the. chvalry
under Minty, Mitchell and Wilder.
In the two days’ battle of Chickamauga
Rosecrans lost over 16, 000 men, Bragg 18,000.
The Union army was all gathered' in Chat-
tanooga by Sept”... 2" The success of Bragg
at Chicka‘mauga. is classed in war. history as

at the First International Tuberculosis con-

In view of the discussion by medical men
on both sides of the Atlantic as to whether
tuberculosis is communicated from thebo-
vino to the human race, a reporter talked
with Dr. Frederick do Sela Mendes, of the

The law book Yoreh Deah, section 85, de-
scribes the lungs of cattlehtho lobes and the
rose lobe.
“If the lobes are radically malformed we
call the animal ‘trefa,’ or unclean, and there-
fore uneatable. If the external or surface"
tissue of the lungs has holes in it it is a dis-
case, but may be cured. but if the underly-
ing skin has holes also it is ‘trefa.’ Some-
times the holss are very small in both integu-

“Do you think that Hebrews suffer more '

Dr. M. G. Dadirrian, a native of Asia
Minor but now practicing in New York,
said to a reporter: \
The subject of tuberculosis is one of great
interest to me, as it must be to every medical
man. After receiving my education in the
University Medical college' in this city twenty
years ago, I returned to my home and prac-
ticed' in Asia Minor three years, and in Con-
stantinople twelve years. I may say that I
had a very large practice, but being 3. Chris.
tian I had some trouble with the Greeks, so
four years ago I packed up my belongings
and brought my family to New York.
“Now, during all those yours in the East I
rarely came acres a caseof tuberculosis, and
cause of the absence of the disease in that
part of, the world. The Parisian congress
found that by cooking meat well and boiling
milk there was less danger of catching the
diseam. And this conforms with the result
of my experience in Asia Minor and Con-
stantinople. There the natives cat generally
mutton and drink goat’s and. sheep’s milk.
They scarcely touch beef or cow’s milk, but if
they do they cook the most well and always
ferment the milk. Here the mistake seems
to be that people' imagipe that there is more
cow, but this is a fallacy, and I am glad tho—t
