He wished in that case that Burnside should come to Chattanooga, so as to allow Rosecrans to follow up the enemy, and that Grant should take his troops by railway to meet Bragg as far as Tuscumbia. There was nothing practical except the last part of this Vol. IV.-7 plan. Once at Tuscumbia, Grant would at last have been enabled to give Rosecrans the co-operation which the latter had so vainly demanded up to that time. But Hurlbut at Memphis had only a few troops, and could not lead them beyond Corinth. The rest of the army, commanded by Sherman in the absence of Grant, who was ill at New Orleans, was near Vicksburg, while the despatches, carried by steamboats, reached it only very slowly. On the 18th, Sherman received Halleck's orders: time was required to prepare for their execution. Reinforcements were also requested of Schofield, who had a command in Missouri, and of Pope, who was watching the Indians on the f

Grierson, the Union general, whose headquarters are at La Grange, has distributed his three cavalry brigades along that line and watches the crossings on the Wolf River, an important stream which flows from Grand Junction to Memphis, and of which the railway follows the left bank. The principal stations are fortified, and in the last-named city Hurlbut holds himself in readiness promptly to bring forward his infantry on any point menaced by the enemy. Forrest counts for his expedition on the mounted brigade of Tennesseeans recently raised by General Richardson; this command, estimated at two thousand men, is reduced, however, by desertions to two hundred and fifty combatants.
