Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1914-01-16

BY Capt. GEORGE L. KILr1ER. Late u. 5. v
%ARLY in January, 1864, General
U. s. Grant had been invited
- by the general in chief, Il. W.
Halleck, to give an outline of
the campaign he thought advisable for
the commands under himself and Gen
eral w. Il. Sherman. General ]. e.
Johnston was defending Atlanta and
the interior of Georgia with an army,
the largest part Of which was station
ed at Dalton, about thirty-eight miles
south of Chattanooga, Tenn. Dalton
is at the junction of the railroad from
Cleveland, Tenn, with the one from
Chattanooga to Atlanta.
Johnston's army was named as the
first objective and the important rail-
road center at Atlanta the second.
At that time it was expected that Gen.
eral N. p. Banks would be through
with the winter campaign in Texas,
upon which he had been ordered and
ready to cooperate with the armies

east of the Mississippi, his part in
the program being to move upon Mo-
bile, Ala, by land, while the Federal
navy would close the harbor and as
sist to the best of its ability.
The plan, therefore, was for Sher-
man to attack Johnston and destroy
his army, if possible. to capture At
lanta and hold 1t, and with his troops
and those of Banks to hold a line
through to Mobile, or at least to hold
Atlanta and command the railroad
east and west. This would cut the Con-
federacy in two again. as gaining pos
session of the Mississippi river by
conquering Vicksburg had done before.
A New Johnston In the Field.
The Confederate army which was to
buffet the attack Grant was preparing
to make on Atlanta had received a new
commander late In December, 1858.
This was General Joseph e. Johnston,
a new figure on western battlefelds.
Wounded In front of Richmond the
summer of 1862, Johnston had been
sent to the Mississippi region early in
1868 as general in chief owe three de-
partments, including the army defend

Pemberton, the army then operating
In Tennessee under General Braxton
Bragg and the forces m~arshaled under
the Lone Star flag beyond the great
river. Fixing his headquarters nomi-
nally at Chattanooga, he moved from
place to place without, however, tax
ing active leadership In any battle.
Under Johnston, Bragg fought the
great battles of Stone River, Chicka-
manga and Chattanooga. Under him
also Pemberton fought and lost at
vicksburg. Yet his name does not APP
pear in the histories of these combats
except by mere incidental mention in
connection with yicksburg. For some
reason the Confederate executive and
General Johnston didn't get on well
together. The general chafed over be
ing kept from actual contact with the
lighting forces.
Although 1t was a step backward to
give up the control of three armies
and take command Of one, Johnston
put his hand to the new task with
whole hearted energy. Grant said that
he was a man tosgIve his foemen trou'

one for the south at that stage of the

He blamed Johnston for standing idly
by while Grant surrounded and pen
ned in the V~icksburg garrison. under
Pemberton. On one particular occa-
sion, before Grant had brought up all
his troops and hemmed Pemberton in,
Davis said that Johnston sent Pember-
ton orders in writing to attack the foe
and cut his way out when he should
have gone IN person to Pemberton and
directed the fight.
Johnston said that he sent the order
in writing because he was preparing
to lead an attack in person from the
outside of Grants lines while Pember-
ton drove ut the same point from the
inside. Pemberton received the writ
ten order and put his troops in motion
to carry it out, then suddenly changed
his mind and attacked In another dr.
r~ection, failing in the attempt and los
ing Johnston's aid.
The Weapon placed in Johnston's
hand to keep the Army of the Tennes-

condition just at the time he took hold
Of 1t, Dec. 81, 1868. 1t had lost $4,000
men In battle during the three months
campaign ending Nov. % at Mission
Ridge. sThe rolls showed a fighting
strength of 10000 men, but 5000 of
these were barefoot and 5000 without
muskets and blankets. There was a
lack of forage for the animals, and
the battery horses were too feeble to
draw the guns.
Johnston found awaiting him at
army headquarters a very pointed hint
from President Davis in Richmond
that he Immediately make a dash into
Tennessee and recover the ground lost
by his predecessor. He did not act
upon the suggestion for the reason that
his army was not in condition to meet
heavy odds. and he thought the best
| plan would be to stand at Dalton until
the Federals attacked him there. He
hoped to beat them and send them
back to Tennessee, when he would fol
low and recover the territory.
Johnston's Old Army Record.
General Joseph E. Johnston was a
native of Virginia and, like Robert e.
Lee, resigned his commission In the
United States army to '.go with his
state" in 1861. He was the same age
as Lee and had reached ffty-six when
called upon to defend Atlanta. His

the north was tired out. His plan was
to let the north force the fighting

ability of his opponent in front of
Chattanooga illustrates a peculiar
phase of military experience. John

career In the old army had been adj
v%enturous and exciting from the time
he left West Point until the close of
the Mexican war. In battle with the
Florida Indians he was severely
wounded in the head when a lieuten-
mi just out of the Military academy.
He distinguished himself under Gen
eral Winfield Scott at the battle of
Cerro Gordo, Mexico, and In the storm
ing of Chapultepec planted with his
own hands the first American banner
unfurled above the castle walls.
In point of rank at leaet Johnston
stood highest in the United States
army among all the officers who re-
signed their commissions to go with
the Confederacy. He was one of five
leaders honored with the full rank of
general by the Confederate govern
ment. Finding his name fourth on the
list instead of first, as he contended
that 1t should be, according to the iaw
governing the appointment of officers,
he protested against the injustice.
This protest. made In August. 1861,
soon after the battle of Bull Run, Is
believed to have caused friction be-
tween him and President Davis.
The town Of Dalton, where Johnston
found the beaten and dispirited troops
turned over to him by Bragg at Christ
mastide, 1868, was a place of no mill
tary Importance and unsuited for bat
tie for troops on the defensive. 1t
was an accidental camp, the Confed-
crates having halted there on their re-
treat from Mission ridge the 25th of
November.
A broad, open valley lies north of the
town, and the approaches from Chat
tanooga would be favorable for the
attacking army. Johnston kept up
strong outposts at Ringgold and Resaca
to hold the enemy at arms length and
set to work to fortify Atlanta as a
base. Atlanta is 100 miles south of
Dalton, with three rivers intervening.
Johnston would have welcomed an at
tack of equal numbers, but Grant was
not so foolhardy. He knew his man
and prepared to set Sherman at the
task, with odds in his favor Of two to
one,
