, which induced him to hope that I would soon be able to commence active operations against the enemy,--the men being tolerably well clothed, with a large reserve of small-arms, the morning reports exhibiting an effective total that exceeded in number that actually engaged on the Confederate side in any battle of the war. Yet this army itself had lost in the recent campaign at least 25,000 men in action, while 17,000 had been transferred from it in Longstreet's corps, and the two brigades (Quarles's and Baldwin's) that had been sent to Mississippi; so that it was then weaker by 40,000 men than it had been when engaged on the Confederate side in the battle of Chickamauga, in the September preceding. In the inspections, which were made as soon as practicable, the appearance of the army was very far from being matter of much congratulation. Instead of a reserve of muskets there was a deficiency of six thousand and as great a one of blankets, while the number of bare feet was painful

is blinding medium, assault after assault was made, several of the Union officers declaring in their reports that their lines received as many as thirteen distinct attacks. Between the gin-house and the Columbia Pike the fighting was fiercest, and the Confederate losses the greatest. Here fell most of the Confederate generals, who, that fateful afternoon, madly gave up their lives; Adams of Stewart's corps — his horse astride the works, and himself within a few feet of them. Cockrell and Quarles, of the same corps, were severely wounded. In Cheatham's corps, Cleburne and Granbury were killed near the pike. On the west of the pike Strahl and Gist were killed, and Brown was severely wounded. General G. W. Gordon was captured by Opdycke's brigade, inside the works. The heaviest loss in all the Union regiments was in the 44th Missouri, the advance guard of Smith's long-expected reenforcement, which had been sent to Columbia on the 27th, and was here stationed on the right of the ra
