Colonel Hured, and no opportunity left for the influence of his name and bearing. General Ewell reported to me for orders soon after the firing ceased, and informed me thaowell's great effort was to be made there, Bonham's, Longstreet's, Jones's, and Ewell's brigades, leaving a few regiments and their cavalry to impose on Miles's divi after General Lee's victory over Pope, and those of Majors-General Jackson and Ewell over Fremont, Banks, and Shields, in 1862; the second, when the way was supposecke's, and Forney's brigades, were placed near and beyond Centreville; those of Ewell, S.

the army as that completed a year later was proposed to the Administration — the formation of corps and divisions as well as brigades, and the creation of the grades of lieutenant-general and major-general. It was partially adopted then, and four divisions formed of the thirteen brigades of the army. E. Van Dorn, G. W. Smith, J. Longstreet, and T. J. Jackson, were appointed majors-general to command them. Bonham's, Early's, and Rodes's brigades, formed Van Dorn's division; D. R. Jones's, Ewell's, and Cocke's, joined Longstreet's; those of S. Jones, Toombs, and Wilcox, G. W. Smith's; and Jackson's was composed of his former brigade, Elzey's, Crittenden's, and Walker's. No army composed of new troops ever had general officers of more merit than those just enumerated. This fact, and the admirable character of the troops themselves, justified me in the belief that it was practicable for us to hold our position against such a force even as General McClellan was supposed to comman

my correspondence with General Bragg in relation to the spring campaign had not been understood by the President. Colonel B. S. Ewell, Adjutant-General of the Army of Tennessee, my personal friend, and an officer who had my full confidence, was th about fifteen thousand men; but that ours was not so strong as on the morning of that battle. A day or two after Colonel Ewell's departure, General Pendleton, commander of the artillery of General Lee's army, came to Dalton from Richmond. He w an army weaker by sixteen thousand men than that proposed in General Bragg's letter of March 12th.
