ched Bowling Green with his cavalry and two divisions of infantry on the 14th, and turned his column in the direction of Munfordville. I interposed my cavalry on the Munfordville road, and also on the roads leading to Glasgow, and reported Buell's movements to Bragg. General Chalmers, with Bragg's advance, reached Munfordville at daylight on the 14th and learned that Colonel Scott, with a cavalry brigade, had demanded the surrender on the night previous. The post was commanded by Colonel J. T. Wilder (17th Indiana), whose force consisted of four regiments of infantry, a battery, and several detachments, aggregating about 4000 men.--editors. Chalmers was misinformed regarding the strength of the garrison and the character of the defensive works. He attacked with vigor, but was repulsed. He reported his force at 1913 men, and his loss at 35 killed and 253 wounded. On the 14th all of Buell's six divisions had reached Bowling Green, and on the 16th he advanced vigorously to succor t

had repelled the first attack, and my divisions were directed upon that point. The next day, at Prewett's Knob, thirteen miles from Munfordville, I learned that the garrison had that morning surrendered to Bragg's entire army, and that night Colonel Wilder reported to me with his command as prisoners of war. The enemy was now concentrated in front of us, and had taken up a position of unusual strength upon and behind a rather low crest on the south side of Green River. My information of thessee was sufficiently accurate, but at first there was no means of knowing what portion of it was with Bragg, and what portion had followed Kirby Smith. The proximity of the last three days had given a better knowledge of Bragg's strength. Colonel Wilder, who was competent, and had had some opportunity for observation, estimated it at from 35,000 to 40,000 men, and nobody estimated it at any less. I supposed it to be from 30,000 to 40,000. I had with me 35,000 effective men, but on being sa

outhern troops. At the same time he was resolved to do nothing to imperil the safety of his army, whose loss, he felt, would be a crushing blow to the Confederacy. He reached Carthage on the 9th of September. On the 12th he was at Glasgow, Kentucky, where he issued a proclamation to Kentuckians. About that time also the corps of Polk and Hardee were ordered to unite. Buell was now moving on Bowling Green from the south. On the 16th our army surrounded and invested Munfordville, and General Wilder, with its garrison of four thousand men, was forced to capitulate. General Kirby Smith, having found Morgan's position impregnable, detached a part of his forces to invest it, and, advancing on Lexington, defeated the Federal forces encountered at Richmond, Ky. He was relying on an early junction with General Bragg. On the 17th of September Generals Polk and Hardee were called to a council at Munfordville. With the map and the cavalry dispatches out-spread before him, General Bragg

o the north of the town to cut off Buckner at Knoxville from a junction with Bragg, and inclose him between that column and the forces of Burnside which were pressing toward Knoxville.--D. H. H. Buckner's division was promptly withdrawn south of the Hiawassee.--editors. On Fast Day, Map of the Chickamauga campaign. August 21st, while religious services were being held in town, the enemy appeared on the opposite side of the river and began throwing shells into the houses. Colonel J. T. Wilder, who led the reconnoissance, says: The enemy opened fire upon the command from their batteries, which was replied to by Captain Lilly's 18th Indiana battery.--editors. Rev. B. M. Palmer, D. D., of New Orleans, was in the act of prayer when a shell came hissing near the church. He went on calmly with his petition to the Great Being who rules in the armies of heaven and among the inhabitants of earth, but at its close, the preacher, opening his eyes, noticed a perceptible diminution of
