an army corps under Gen. Sherman.
Gen. Dodge was making a reconnois-
sance, and, as an eyewitness, Capt.
Smith, of Illinois, belonging to the
army of the Tennessee, describes it,
had just raised his field glass to his
eyes when the bullet of a Confed derate
sharpshooter struck him in the head.
1t was frightful wound and believed
by those about him to be fatal Capt.
Smith, however, thinks it was a lucky
shot for Dodge's corps, because just be-
fore being hit the General received an
order from Sherman directing him to
charge the enemy in his front AS
there was a clear, open field before
him the carnage would doubtless have
ben terrible. But the order was not
opened, and the wounding Of Gen.
Dodge delayed its opening for some
time, consequently the charge was not
made. In the meantime the enemy on
the front was fanked on it's right and
compelled to retreat The sharpshoot-
ers' shot, it is believed, saved the lives
and limbs of many comrade Of the
Army Of the Tennessee that day.
