At that time this wing was composed of Hill's corps, whose two divisions, under Breckinridge andnonade, more slaughterous, begun across the river by Hill's artillery ceased toward noon, and nothing any longh sides of the Reed's Bridge and Kelly's farm road.

Hill, having joined his two lieutenants at the time when ker and Cheatham, who were on the second line behind Hill, were holding themselves in readiness for the battles to the right with a view of retrieving lost time.

alled that very evening to Charleston, will take no part in the expedition which he appeared so fit to direct. Bragg, dissatisfied with himself and others, has punished by arrests, pending the decision by a board of inquiry, the dilatoriness of Hill and Polk on the 11th and the 20th of September. Perhaps he has a grudge against Forrest for being too quick to pursue the enemy on the 21st. Be that as it may, he deprives him, in fact, of his command by enjoining upon him to remain on the left re are more than twelve thousand men in the cavalry, but it cannot concentrate near Chattanooga, where forage is scarce. Therefore it will take only a secondary part in coming events. Bragg's army is still composed of three corps, but Polk and Hill have been replaced by Cheatham and Breckinridge. The reinforcements received for the last month have swollen the army to about fifty-seven thousand infantry and artillery, without counting its ten or twelve thousand cavalry. Hence it is consider

established on the frontier. On the 20th it was camping on the borders of Devil's Lake. The Sioux, whose plans of campaign had just been thwarted by the death of their chief, Little Crow, killed by a white man, had suddenly retreated toward the Missouri at the approach of the troops. Sibley, discovering the tracks of this retreat, had started to pursue them, and by forced marches he had at last reached them July 24th on the centre of the high plateau called by the old Canadian hunters Missouri Hill. The savage warriors were numerous—more than two thousand, it is said; they belonged to the principal Sioux tribes. Not expecting the invasion of their territory whilst they were meditating that of Minnesota, they had established their camps near the frontier. Encumbered by the train they were dragging after them, they had not been able to cope in speed with the enemy, and had decided upon fighting, so that the long column of little horses which carried the women and children, the ski

t, stretched on the left of the Sabine River road on the skirt of the wood which separated the two ravines. This was favorable for the attack against the Federals' left. This was the weak point of their position; therefore, to cover Benedict, Smith had posted two brigades in a second line behind him in an oblique direction from the north-east to the south-west; Moore, on the right, was flanked by the village; Lynch, on the left, outstretching Benedict, extended as far as the second ravine. Hill's brigade was in reserve in the village. In the mean time, the day advances without any sign of the enemy's disposition to take the offensive. It is known, however, that he is not far, for Gooding's cavalry have found him strong beyond the ravine. A few rifle-shots, partial movements to rectify positions, do not suffice to deceive the Federals, who, self-reliant, become impatient at waiting so long under arms. It is certainly not fear which holds back their adversaries. But Walker's an

sted, even as mere sharpshooters, in the service of the Confederates. Not being a case of self-defence, he had therefore acted as an outlaw and not as a soldier. He was on this account sentenced to be hanged. Mr. Lincoln confirmed the sentence, but deferred the execution, and, the war coming to an end, Gurley's life was spared. Note B. Book I., chapter V. On the 1st of September, Bragg—having under his command Cheatham's and Hindman's divisions of Polk's corps, Cleburne's division of Hill's corps, Liddell's and Gist's divisions of Walker's corps—shows 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.
