batteries Of artillery were hurrying
down the road toward the beautiful
city of Huntsville, lying, tranquil and
unsuspecting. n few miles below. The
upper edge of the sun was peering
above the horizon, gliding the crest of
the foothills of the plateau on the east.

pillars of the verandas, and from vines
trailing over easements they smiled at
the rising sun. while the breath of

laden with troops. seize hundred
miles of the Memphis and Charleston
railroad Oh either hand. thus opening
communication with the army at Pitts

the way for future operations in east
Tennessee on the east. The enemy
must not be given time to move troops
to protect the city. for even should we
defeat them they would destroy the
shops and run off the rolling stock. All
depended on celerity and secrecy.
The evening before we had bivouack-
ed ten miles north of the city. Our
scouts permitted no one to go south Of
us, enfolding all they met in order that
no news of our approach could reach
the place we hoped to surprise, Two
