Divisions made their formations and moved
forward as rapidly as possible In front of
the First Division the underbrush was SO
thick that 1T was almost impossible to move

about 5:40 p IN. They were in a strong
place and just beyond deep ravine, and he
thought 1t not practicable to assault them
he made feeble attempt to do so, and found
he could not succeed. Newton moved up as
fast as possible through such thick wood

Gen. d. s. STANLEY.
DEAR GENERAL: Yours of the 18th came
to hand, and ! have been trying to refresh
my memory of the events spoken of
Most Of the details have escaped my mind
Ny impression is, that the order to you,
having 10 come through several hands, was
DELAYED in delivery. l remember this, be-
cause that. while the facts were fresh in my
mind, defended you against Sherman him
self, no thought you were slow in coming
up that day.
] remember the difficult ground through
which aiy division forced its way. and how
it Was urged on both by You and myself, and
that no time was lost, but we came in too
late; j. e.. a. dark. i have only slight re-
membrance about KimbaIl's S action that day.
For him TO have advanced by flank would
have been absurd JOHN NEWTON.

LETTER FROM MAJ.-GEN. NATHAN KIM
BALL.

BALL.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, July 3, 1875.
Gen. d. s. STANLEY, Fort Wayne Mich.
DEAR GENERAL: | note your reference to
Gen. Sherman's Memoirs which | have
read, and regret that he has made such a
great mistake
Your recollection of the disposition of the
enemys force, and especially as to his posi-
tlon and strength at Jonesboro', to which
you call my attention, is correct, as / remem-
Der 1t, and, though l have not my notes,
journal, or any OF my papers here to refresh
my memory, | am certain that Gen. Sher-
man is mistaken
My division, the First of the Fourth Corps,
was deployed, my right resting Oh the rail
road, and joined to Jeff C. Davis's left.
found the enemy well posted on a ridge OF
hill, being the bluff bank of a ravine, and in
great ioroe-whether Hardee's Corps alone
Or more l do not know Their works or
positions extended beyond my left, so that
Gen. Newton's Division, which deployed and
formed on my left, found them in his 'front.'
1f at least In front of his right. Newtons
left came round, when the enemy were yet
resisting us, and captured their hospital Just
after dark
L know that my entire line was resisted by
poln Infantry ana artillery. You remember
what difficulty had in getting my battery
in position under the fire from theirs You
were slightly wounded at that point Just at
dark. The line of works, barricade of logs
and earth made and occupied by the enemy,
continued from the railroad at a point i'm
mediately opposite, to the line Of works
carried By Morgan's Brigade of jeff c. Daviss
command diagonally to the left along the
ridge or bluff mentioned
The only way we could have pass d around
them by flank movement would have been
to march miles away to make the circuit, and
left JEFF c. Iavis's left entirely exposed, and
this would have enabled Hardee to turn
Dayiss. flank and attack our line Davis in
rear. After depleying he met heavy skir-
mish-llne. which retired to their main line,
and fought US with as much determination as
they ever did in any engagement.
My own impression was, at the time, that
the enemy was preparing to move around
Davis's left, and believe that he would if we
had not come up at the time we did Their
line of works encountered by Us were freshly
made seemingly designed to retire to in case
Of failure to flank Davis or on meeting re-
sisting column. Sherman is much mistaken
in his ideas Of that fight, so far as my divis-
ion was concerned, and of your movement
