History of the Army of the Cumberland.

Walter S. Cole. Sergeant, Co. H, 4th
Mich. Cav, Lansing, Mich, writes:
Editor National Tribune: 1 have been
muck interested in the Campaigns OF
the Army of the Cumberland by John
McElroy, but there is one thing I can
not too strongly condemn; that is, his
concluding his history of that army.
1t concludes with it's part up to and in
Guiding its participation in the battles
about Chattanooga, Tenn, in Novem>
Der, 1868, leaving one to infer that its
history was then closed. What about
its career in 1864, the year of blood,
under the command of the Rock of
Chickamauga, the indomitabIe Thomas;
under the immediate eye of the master
full Sherman, as tho it had no share in
the campaign of blood; its marching

to Atlanta, from May to September.

such way, as but a little better than
an outrage. One might as well have
been mustered out and discharged.
Many 6 gallant comrade was mustered
out in blood during that bloody year,
1864. Almost as well might the his

mac be closed at the end of the year
1868. emitting its terrific battles of it's
baptism of blood in 1864 and early 1865.
1 hope COmrade McElroy will not so
far forget himself and terrible history
in his writing of the indomitable Army
of the Potomac
The history of the Army of the Cum
berland properly ended with the cap
ture of Chattanooga, for which it was
organized. The special work of the
Army of the Cumberland was to reach
and occupy that great gateway, which
task it gloriously completed by the
charge up Mission Ridge. Afer that the
Army of the Cumberland, while retain
ing its organization and being the larg-
est force in Sherman's army, was merg-
ed with the Army of the Tennessee and
Ohio, and lost it's identity as an indie
pendent army on the Atlanta campaign.
Its identity was completely lost after
the Atlanta campaign, when part of the
army went with Sherman to the sea
and another part remained under
Thomas to join with other forces to
fight the battles of Franklin and Nash
vile. Therefore, the history of the
Army of the Cumberland properly ends
with the victory of Mission Ridge

while the main attack should be made
farther down. July 3 Mcclellan con-
centrated his three brigades at Roaring
Creek, about one mile in front of Col.
Pegram's position at the pass of Rich
Mountain. Such an examination as
could be made in the dense woods and
laurel copses convinced Mcclellan that
it would be very dangerous to assail
Pegram in front. but preparations were
made to do SO, and orders were sent to
Morris to press up as closely as possible
to Garnett and keep him occupied.
Rosecrans, as usual, full of activity and
resourcefulness, had been studying the
country carefully, and in the evening
took to Mcclellan a young man named

sent urgent orders to Gen. c. w. Hill
to gather up everything along the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad, and head off
Garnet as he attempted to pass thru
the st. George Gap around the northern
spur of the mountain. Hill did not get
his orders until noon of the 18th, when

the pursuit was conducted, 1t overlook

about noon of July IS, and began Skin
mishing with the rear guard. Garrett
took charge Of the rear guard himself,
and handled 1t with much skill. with
drawing all his men and wagons under
its cover. A skirmish of more than
usual sharpness took place at Carrick's
Ford, and a mile or two further the
skirmishing was renewed. One of Gar
nett's cannon had become stalled in the
ford, and behind 1t were 40 wagons.
Sending most of his men forward, Gen.
Garrett remained at the ford with some
10 or dozen skirmishers, whom he
placed behind pile of driftwood. While
the skirmishing was going on he ex-
posed himself freely, and was shot down
by a member of the 14th Ohio. A young
Aid, who was bravely following his
chief, was also killed, and the skirmish-
ers fled, leaving the cannon and wagons
as Morris's booty. The pursuit was
there discontinued, and the rest of Gar
nett's force made good their escape.

Col. Lew Wallace, with the 18th Ind.

where he came under the command of
Gen. Robert Patterson, of the Depart

ried out a successful little expedition
against Romney, Va, which helped
secure possession of the railroad and
also to throw Gen. Joseph E. Johnston
back from Harper's Ferry to Winches-
ter. Col. Wallace made this report:
II left Cumberland at 10 o'clock on
the night of the 18th of June with eight
companies, in all about 500 men, and by

afterward learned that they had notice
of my coming full an hour before my
arrival. In approaching the place it
was necessary for me to cross a bridge
over the South Branch of the Potomac.
A reconnaissance satisfied me that the
passage of the bridge would be the chief
obstacle in my way, although I could
distinctly see the enemy drawn up on

Gen. Mcclellan allowed more than
two weeks to elapse before he began
his movement against Garrett. He had
arrived at Grafton June 20, and July 6
he moved McCook with two regiments

to Beverly, and on the same day or
dered Gen. Morris to march with his
brigade from Philippi to within one

had not been misled he could have
spared himself this labor. because Rose

of the next day, by which time Garnett
could have been safely on his road to

Pursuit Of Gnrnett.
Morris learned OF Garnett's retreat at
dawn, and started in pursuit as soon as
rations could be issued. He marched
first to Leadsville, where he halted to
get further orders. These reached him
at night, and he began the pursuit the
