dge Fortunately, the Federals were very inferior to the Confederates in number, the re-enlistment furloughs having much reduced the effective force of the divisions. Moreover, by a coincidence still more fortunate, at the very moment when his outposts signalled the movements of the Federals, Johnston was informed that Hardee's troops were returned to him, the greater part having already reached Demopolis. On the morning of the 23d he made preparations to meet the attack. Stewart's and Breckinridge's divisions posted themselves on the eastern declivity of Rocky Face at the entrance of the defile of Mill Creek Gap. Hindman remained in reserve behind them in the gorge. Wheeler with his sixteen hundred cavalry and his artillery occupied Tunnel Hill. Stevenson's division established itself north of Dalton across Crow Valley. On the same day the Union general Palmer, having assembled Johnson's, Davis', and Baird's divisions of the Fourteenth corps in the vicinity of Ringgold behind

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 comman 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 division39,000 men.
