intention of giving battle east of Rocky-face, we prepared to fight on either side of the ridge. For that object A. P. Stewart's division was placed in the gap, Cheatham's on the crest of the hill, extending a mile north of Stewart's, and Bate's also on the crest of the hill, and extending a mile south of the gap. Stevenson's was formed across the valley east of the ridge, his left meeting Cheatham's right; Hindman in line with Stevenson and on his right; Cleburne behind Mill Creek and in front of Dalton. Walker's division was in reserve. Cantey with his division arrived at Resaca that evening (7th) and was charged with the defense of the place. Duriible. There would have been much more exposure in that than in mounting and crossing the little rebel parapet ; but at one point, seventy-five yards in front of Cheatham's line, a party of Federal soldiers, finding themselves sheltered from his missiles by the form of the ground, made a parapet there which became connected with t

I selected Hardee for this duty, because Cheatham had, at that time, but little experience as a three corps commanders, Hardee, Stewart, and Cheatham, together with Major-General Wheeler, commands neighbor in the hour of battle. Stewart, Cheatham, and G. W. Smith were ordered to occupy soon the left of the enemy, which was in front of Cheatham's right and Shoup's artillery.

General Cheatham at Spring Hill. Reprinted from the Southern bivouac for April, 1885. dated November 30th, 1881. by B. F. Cheatham, Major-General, C. S. A.

S. A. In pursuance of orders my command [formerly Hardee's] crossed Duck River on the morning of the 29th of November, 1864, the division of Major-General [P. R.] Cleburne in advance, followed by that of Major-General [W. B.] Bate, the division of Major-General [J. C.] Brown in the rear. The march was made as rapidly as the condition of the roads would allow, and without occurrence of note, until about 3 o'clock P. i., when I arrived at Rutherford's Creek, two and one-half miles from Spring Hill. hing that might be passing. Major Bostick afterward informed me that General Johnson commenced complaining bitterly at having been loaned out, and asked why General Cheatham did not order one of his own divisions to go in ; but at length ordered his horse and rode with Major Bostick close up to the turnpike, where they found ever

er in a different light. I think if Cleburne had not struck Wagner's two brigades as he did that his brave lads would have broken our line successfully; but, as it was, his men were badly winded with his work with Wagner, which gave Opdycke's and White's men a better chance to check him at the cotton-gin. The way I saw it was this: I was acting as orderly and standing a few paces east of the cotton-gin. The first Confederate troops that; came in view were Stewart's corps on our left with Cheatham's corps to the left of Stewart. The Confederate line moved easily and steadily on, until Cleburne was checked for the time by Wagner. The short time lost by Cleburne threw Stewart's line too far in advance. Stewart was first to receive the fire from our main line, and was unable to carry our works, his men who were not killed or wounded being compelled to retire. Now Cleburne, who had been delayed by Wagner, came up just in time to receive a heavy right oblique fire from the men who had
