| Where is Longstrcct, and what about him
This IA the question that comes up now that Bragg has
been disposed o. Prisoners say that Bragg sent for
Lopgsreet TO hurry TO bis support several days ago.
and that WHOM Bragg commenced running he was oI
pocina Longstreet to come up in two or three days
To-day the only road practicable for him to bring any
thing beside men will DO in our hands; today Long
street has no transportation. and depends on the rail
roads II ia certain therefore that he can escape OILY
by back routes, and with only what bis men can carry
Bragg 10 manenvering for Junction and stand ut or
aeaf Dalton, betweeS 80 nnd % miles distant. az .ne
