ld not reach Manchester before the 28th, some time in the day. Being constrained to wait for them, Rosecrans determined to worry Bragg in the mean while by hurling upon his rear Wilder's active mounted infantry. The railway, which between Tullahoma and Stevenson crosses deep gorges, was easy to destroy, and tearing it up would oblige Bragg either to abandon his intrenched camp or else to detach a considerable part of his army to protect the road against new incursions. In the morning of the 28th, Wilder proceeds to Hillsborough in company with Beatty's brigade of infantry, which will await his return in that village. A few hours later he crosses, not without trouble, the swollen waters of Elk River by means of improvised floats, and detaches to the right Colonel Monroe with one regiment, directing him to destroy the railroad-bridge built across that stream near Estell Springs, while he (Wilder) moves toward Decherd. Monroe cannot carry out the instructions given him: a brigade belo

neral Palmer, with two brigades, was assigned to the duty of following this last route as far up as Rankin's Ferry, and occupying Shell Mound and Whitesides on the 28th. The opening of the bridge, fixed for the 27th, was entrusted to Smith. For this perilous operation the two strong brigades of Hazen and Turchin were given him: ouacked on its banks between Shell Mound and Whitesides. On the 27th these divisions have passed the mountain and halted at the entrance to Will's Valley. On the 28th they descend upon Wauhatchie, while Palmer relieves the regiments left to guard Shell Mound and Whitesides. Hooker advances with circumspection in the deep valleyer's movement; he has even refused to credit the information that Longstreet transmitted to him about the march of the Federals since they left Bridgeport. On the 28th he was with his lieutenant on Lookout Mountain: to overcome his incredulity the latter had to take him to the top and thence point out to him the Union battalions

ammunition, which it would need. Supplies of provisions sent from Chattanooga by water to Kingston, and thence on wagons to Knoxville, arrived, it is true, on the 28th, but they are very insufficient, and Grant issues to Foster the order to suspend the campaign. Besides, throughout the valley of the Tennessee the soldiers on bers, who started too late, could come up with him. The bridge over the Hiawassee is guarded by Long's brigade, that Sherman left at Calhoun. On the morning of the 28th, at the moment when the train was commencing to pass over the river, Wheeler appeared before Charleston and sharply attacked the infantry that was covering the crooped to surprise the whites and take their horses. Although vigorously repulsed, the redskins did not lose courage, and returned a third time to the charge on the 28th, near Stony Lake, this time at the moment the whites were breaking up their camp. The train incurred some dangers, and, although the enemy was scattered, to prote

as no longer there to annoy their foraging-parties. They continued to carry away or destroy all that might be of use to the Southern armies. Sherman had reached this town on the 26th, after having crossed Pearl River on the 25th on temporary bridges. He found there Winslow's cavalry brigade, which he had sent north as far as Louisville in hopes that it would meet Sooy Smith. Winslow was returning without having heard anything of the latter. Sherman, going ahead, entered Vicksburg on the 28th, and started at once for New Orleans. His troops reached the banks of the Mississippi a few days after. Hurlbut brought one of his divisions back to Memphis. The other, under General Mower, remained in Vicksburg to form, with one of McPherson's, commanded by A. J. Smith, the expeditionary corps intended to embark shortly for Red River. Thanks to the clear and dry weather which had been prevailing during the whole month of February, the march of the Federals had been easy. Neither the s
