1t was impossible for the few brigades with
McCook to stay the tide of battle. They
were overpowered and captured.
AT the moment when the gap was made
several of Rosecrans' divisions were chang
ing position and were in transit to Thomas
on the left. They were taken at a disad-
vantage and utterly routed. Davis division
was thus beaten.
Sheridan's division was the last on the
Union right When the Confederates
struck their blow two of Sheridan's brigades
were in the act of marching to the left to aid
Thomas. They encountered the advancing
enemy and endeavored to check them, but in
vain. They were repulsed, and fell back on
the Dry Valley road There they reformed,
and had a second unsuccessful fight. Then
they retreated westward, and by a circuitous
route reached Rossville. Thence they adj
vanced to the aid of Thomas.
To sum up: Davis and Sheridan's whole
divisions had been driven from the field.
Part of the divisions of Wood, Van Cleve
and Brannan had been defeated and thrown
into confusion. The brigades from these di-
visions that escaped were those that had
gone to join Thomas.
The Confederates captured over 1000 pris-
oners, 40 guns and vast quantities of army
supplies.
There was now left of the Union army
Thomas, the Rock of Chickamauga. With
him were the divisions of Baird, johnson,
Palmer and Reynolds. Wood and Brannan
had formed anew in line from east to west.
Two brigades of Negley's and one of Van
Cleve's were with them. The corps of Nc
Cook and Crittenden had been beaten.

We have always been opposed to wom-

influence which woman would exert upon
the average town meeting. The school
meeting was called to order by B. F.

following officers were elected: Modera-
tor, B. F. Lincoln; clerk, A. L. Guild;
