traversed by the railroad-now wrecked
and disused-to Lookout Valley.
The whole command was under orders
to proceed with all possible speed to
Browns Ferry, and there again cross the
Tennessee.
Far into the night of the 18th the troops
toiled over the teSSible roads IN the
mountains. At daylight, on the list, the
head of the column was crossing Qe
pontoon bridge at Browns Ferry. Inc
river was brimming full, with the muddy
tide approaching flood pitch. The boats
of the bridge veered and tugged at their
lines, and the plank roadway trembled
and swayed as the troops marched over.
Repeatedly the ropes holding the boats
parted, and the bridge broke. Then fol-
lowed delays while men repaired II, with
great exertion. and the halted troops
shivered In the rain on the river bank.
One Division Cut on.
All through that day and the next
officers and men of the command la
bored at the bridge or marched slowly
through the mud toward the hills north
of Chattanooga.
On the afternoon of November q Gen.
Ewing's division arrived at the ferry,
after a hard march from Trenton. and
crossed in safety.
Then the bridge broke in such a way
that it could not-be mended.
An entire division OF Sherman's COM
mand, that of Gen. Peter ]. Osterhaus,
was cut off. Sherman could not walt
for the water to subside and permit the
rebuilding of the bridge. Therefore, he
had to leave the division where 1t was,
to Join the command of Gen. Hooker,
while with the other he struggled on
ChatfannnRQ
where at last, on the afternoon OF the
I'd, he reached the position that Grant
had hoped he would reach on the 10th.
The movement of Sherman's troops
across the river had been observed by
the Confederates, who had seen the
three divisions that got over disappear
among the hills north of Chattanooga.
Yet they did not divine the purpose Tor
which Sherman was marching, Which
was again to cross the river, north Of
and come into the battle
line in front of the extreme Confederate
right, where he was not expected.
Gen. Grant had succeeded in deceiving
the enemy as to Sherman's destination
by a clever stratagem. One of the
army corps under Gen. Hooker, the
Eleventh, commanded by Gen. o. o. How
ard, had been sent ahead OF Sherman's
troops, and without being observed had
been marched into the hills north of
When Sherman's columns had passed
out of view OF the Confederates, How
ards troops were countermarched into
in full view of the Con-
federates, who assumed that they were
the troops under Sherman that they had
seen crossing the river at Browns Ferry.
Thus on the eve of battle Grant was
enabled to conceal 20,0Oo men in po-
sition from which they could open the
with an attack on the ex-
treme right wing of the Confederate
Army, where Gen. Bragg did not expect
attack.

Fifty Years Ago.
November S63Gen Grant Was Obliged Cancel Orders for Attack
Upon the Confederate Army Chattanooga the Following
Day. Gen w. 7. Sherman Was Unable Reach the Position As
signed Him in the Plan Of Batde-causes Of Delay.
Cwritten expressly for The Herald.)

Fifty years ago today Gen. Grant was
Obliged to cancel orders for an attack he
had planned to open the next morning on
the Confederate army under Gen. Brax-
ton Bragg in front of Chattanooga. as
Gen. w. p. Sherman had been unable to
reach the position assigned him in Grants
plan of battle.
Historical importance attaches to the
situation, thus turning upon the move
ments of Gen. Sherman. Sherman has
been charged with slowness in reaching
Chattanooga, to which he had marched
from Memphis, and with hardness in get
ting into position after his arrival there.
Study of the records indicates that he
did everything possible to overcome OBJ
stacles to a rapid advance that proved
insuperable. His march from Memphis
had been retarded in-the beginning by
orders from Washington to repair the
Memphis and Charleston Railroad as he
proceeded.
As this road was along the northern
border of the Confederacy for the entire
distance to be Travelled, and Confederate
cavalry broke ii as fast as ii could be
rebuilt, such a course was mere waste Of
time. 1t had been imposed on Sherman
by General-in-Chief Henry W. Halleck.

to old-style military tenets and believed

Bridgeport.
The road at first lay along the river
to ShelImound, beyond which 1t turned
into the mountains Here it was narrow
and steep. a succession of rocky stretches
and muddy pools.
Animals could scarcely pull the wagons
over the best parts of the road, and in
the worst they came to a standstiI Men
struggled on doggedly. and in almost
every mile Of the way were obliged to
get into the mud to put their shulders
to the wheel of a gun or a wagon. In
the steep places guns and wagons were
drawn up with ropes.
To add to the difficulty of the march
a cold rain began on November 20 to
pour upon the struggling columns while
they were yet in the mountain passes.
On the afternoon of the 10th Gen. Sher-
man rode down from the hills into the
camps of Gen. Hooker's command-the
troops that had come from VirginIa-in
the Lookout Valley. He was wet and
weary Calling on Gen. Hooker. to learn
the state of affairs at the front, he
pressed on to Browns Ferry, on the
river west of Chattanooga.
Here he was met by Grants order for
an attack on the following morning. 1t

when it was proposed to send two corps
of the Army of the Potomac from Vir-
ginia to Chattanooga, Gen. Halleck had
informed the President the transfer would
take three months. Through the assist
ance of railroad men it was effected in
eleven days.
In the case of Sherman's advance Gen
Hallecks order prevailed until Gen. Grant
was put in supreme command in the
West, on October is. On reaching Chat
tanooga, October %. and seeing the state
of affairs in the besieged town, Grant
forthwith had ordered Sherman to cut
loose from the railroad and advance with
all speed across country.
This Sherman had done, his advance

ty-eight miles west Of Chattanooga, on

necessary for the entire command. then
