Review of the army of the West by President Davis.
On his recent trip to
Tennessee, the
President reviewed the army of the West at
Murfreesboro'. An account of this review, by a reporter who was present, is published in the
Chattanooga Rebel.--The division of
Gen. Breckinridge was first reviewed, and afterwards the divisions of
Cheatham's and Withera's, with the artillery commands belonging to each, also passed in review.
The President followed by the corps and division
Generals, the
Brigadier Generals of the command, and their staff officers, rode down the lines at full gallop.--The General of each division rode on the right of the
President, as their respective divisions were drawn up in review.
The men in open ranks stood with arms presented, the officers saluting, and the regimental bands playing, each band taking it up in succession, as the cortege passed.
The regiments were then wheeled into column and ‘"passed in review"’ before the
President.
Among the officers conspicuously mentioned in connection with the review; are
Gens. Bragg,
Hardee,
Polk,
Breckinridge and
Chestham.
