a retreat through Tiptonville, the only way open. His occupation of that place was anticipated by the Federal army, and on the morning of the 7th he wisely surrendered the forces under his command, consisting, as reported by him, of Stewart's field artillery company of 5 guns, and 2,900 infantry, of whom 400 were unarmed. There were 58 heavy guns abandoned, including 10 guns of the floating battery which were sunk in desperation in the Mississippi river. But General Pope reported to General Halleck that 273 field and company officers, 6,700 privates, 123 pieces of heavy artillery, 35 pieces of field artillery, all of the very best character and latest patterns, 7,000 stand of small-arms, tents for 12,000 men, several wharfboats, and hundreds of horses and mules, with immense stores of ammunition, were surrendered to him. Col. W. G. Cumming, Fifty-first Illinois, commanding brigade, in an official report, dated the 10th of April, said: Soon after the surrender I was ordered by Majo

f Tennessee, General Beauregard commanding the department. The army was concentrated at Tupelo, Miss., and after rest and reorganization was ready for the field. General Bragg had before him the alternatives of idleness at Tupelo, an attack on Halleck at Corinth, an attack on Buell at or about Chattanooga, or an attack on Grant in west Tennessee. The threatened advance of Buell meant the severance of the Confederate States, the East from the West. General Bragg, seeing this danger, determin Smith was in undisputed possession of east Tennessee. He had forced the evacuation of Cumberland Gap, had won the victory at Richmond, Ky., and had traversed the State of Kentucky without let or hindrance, in spite of the grand strategy of General Halleck, commander-in-chief of the armies of the United States in the Southwest, who said in a dispatch to Buell, dated Corinth, June 1, 1862: Smith must abandon east Tennessee or be captured. On the 23d of October, General Bragg ordered Lieutena

rovised Tennessee battalion, Capt. S. A. Whiteside, composed of details from the Forty-first, Forty-second, Forty-eighth, Forty-ninth, Fifty-third and Fifty-fifth Tennessee regiments, were all constantly engaged, and rendered services of great value. At all hours under the fire of Farragut's fleet, they lost only 4 killed and 6 wounded. Among the killed was Lieut. Thomas B. Cooke, of the heavy artillery. The only published report of the siege by a Confederate officer was made by Capt. C. M. Jackson, of the staff of General Gardner. He informed General Johnston, on the 9th of July, that provisions were exhausted, and that it was impossible to cut a way out on account of the proximity of the enemy's works. Our casualties during the siege were 200 killed, and between 300 and 400 wounded. At the time of surrender there were only 2,500 men for duty. Banks reported to General Halleck that he had not more than 14,000 effective men. He lost 706 killed, 3,145 wounded and 307 captured.

to bury his dead. General Jackson remained in position during the day of the 12th, and at night returned to Gordonsville. The next morning Pope telegraphed General Halleck, The enemy has retreated under cover of the night; but the general-in-chief, wiser than his redoubtable lieutenant, briefly answered, Beware of a snare. Feigrren's corps were hurried forward as reinforcements, but no advance was attempted, and night suspended hostilities. The next morning General Grant telegraphed to Halleck, So far, there is no decisive result. Our loss to this time, 11:30 a. m., I do not think exceeds 8,000. Heth's division opened the battle of the Wilderness. killed, wounded and captured in a campaign of a month. The army under General Lee lost during the campaign 20,000 killed, wounded and captured. In a dispatch to Halleck, dated the day of his signal defeat at Cold Harbor, General Grant confessed to the failure of his plan of campaign, and soon began the siege of Petersburg and th
