'rhe cause Of Gen. Bragg failure Is nov
Sufficiently obvious. Instead Of fighting
Buell. in a pitched battle. when he had hin.
at disadvantage. near Chattanooga, interior
in numbers. and remote from supplies. where
defeat would have been utter ruin. Genera
Bragg adopted the plan Of taking po.sesslan
of The country in his rear BY detachmen,,.
and avoiding general engagements. The
expeditions of Morgan and Smith into Ken.
tucky, and the achievements OF Forres,
near Nashville. were brilliant in themsel,r.
aud highly cred,abie 10 the officers in con.
msnd. but in their effect upon the general
campaign. they served but little ether pur
pose than to give warning 10 the enemy uI
the danger of Buell.. and 10 hasten the pre-
partitions for his reinforcement. After foil
time had been given 20 allow ample rein.
forcemenis 10 be sent TO Louisville. and
forwarded On the line 10 Buell.. then Gen.
Bragg began TO move. The grand objeet
Of his strategy being to get 10 Louisville
and penetrate the base of Buells operations.
he found il necessary, AZ the result oi bis
combinations, 10 make al last rapid march
upon that city. to lnterpase himself between
that General and the new lranps pouring ~
frwn north af the 0hoi but ls1rit beat him
IN the race, and the whole object Of the
Campaign Was thu. thwarted and defeated
Hngg then had no other alternative. con.
