less. All the roads were good and open, having been traversed but the day before by various portions of General Bragg's army. This concentration at Lafayette, being then a movement away from Crittenden rather than towards him, it is impossible to accept it as a part of a movement upon that corps of the Federal army. The key to it will be found in the following dispatch to Hindman. (See General Bragg's official report): headquarters army of Tennessee, Lafayette, Ga., 12 P. M., September 10, 1863. Major-General Hindman, Commanding: General: Headquarters are here, and the following is the information: Crittenden's corps is advancing on us from Chatanooga. A large force from the south has advanced to within seven miles of this point. Polk is left at Anderson's to cover your rear. General Bragg orders you to attack and force your way through the enemy to this point at the earliest hour you can see him in the morning. Cleburn will attack in front the moment your guns are h

ow how little blame should have attached to him (General Bragg) for Hindman's palpable disobedience of orders in McLemore's Cove, and General Polk's failure to attack Crittenden's corps in its isolated position immediately after Hindman's fiasco. Of Hindman's failure I know nothing save what is to be found in the official reports. Hindman, although commanding one of the divisions in General Polk's corps, having been assigned to it just before the campaign, was, with his division, on September 9th, detached from Polk's corps in order that he might make the movement into McLemore's Cove, under the direct supervision of army headquarters, it being understood that General Bragg was then quite partial to him. The order detaching him was this: headquarters army of Tennessee, Gordon's Mills, Sept. 9th, 1863. General: Orders have been given to Major-General Hindman detaching him from your corps. He is directed to move at once. Respectfully, your obedient servant, Kinlock Fa

This placed him outside General Polk's jurisdiction for that movement; consequently I do not now ask for any discussion of the McLemore's Cove affair. What I wish to bring out is the history of what General Martin—and General Bragg before him—calls General Polk's fail

Church on Greysville road on the morning of the 13th. He had no orders to find and attack Crittenden on the 12th, nor, when found at Lee and Gordon's Mills on the 13th, was he ordered to cross the Chickamauga and attack him there. Extract from General Bragg's report. Our movement having thus failed in its justly anticipatedwill move on Wilder so as to cover your right. I shall be delighted to hear of your success. Very truly yours, Braxton Bragg. To attack at daylight on the 13th. Upon further information, the order was renewed in two notes, at later hours of the same day, as follows: Extract from General Crittenden's report. Septembs power? when he did turn on Crittenden, why did he send Polk to attack him to the east of the Chickamauga, when he lay to the west? Why did he not attack on the 13th, 14th and 15th? This, Mr. Editor, is my version of this portion of the Chickamauga campaign. If I am in error I wish to be put right, for I have no desire to d

we beg to restate General Polk's orders. They were to take position at Rock Spring on the night of the 12th and to attack on the Peavine Church on Greysville road on the morning of the 13th. He had no orders to find and attack Crittenden on the 12th, nor, when found at Lee and Gordon's Mills on the 13th, was he ordered to cross the Chickamauga and attack him there. Extract from General Bragg's report. Our movement having thus failed in its justly anticipated results, it was determined tnd Gordon's Mills. The one corps of the enemy in this direction was known to be divided—one division having been sent to Ringgold. Upon learning the dispositions of the enemy from our cavalry commander in that direction on the afternoon of the twelfth, Lieutenant-General Polk, commanding the advance forces, was directed in the following note: headquarters army of Tennessee, Lafayette, Ga., 6 P. M., Sept. 12. Lieutenant General Polk: General,—I enclose you a dispatch from General Pegram

My entire Second and Third divisions were then at Ringgold. General Hazen, with his brigade, having crossed the river yesterday, rejoined his division (Palmer's) to-day.
