I food. [Abbreviated from "Advance and Retreat. "] "The Federals at Pulaski became alarmed, and by forced marches reached Columbia, on Duck River, just in time to prevent our troops from cutting them off. The enemy having formed line of battle around Co lumbia, Lee s corps filed into position with its right on the Mt. Pleasant pike; Stewart s formed on Lee s right, his own right flank extending to the Pulaski pike; and Cheatham established his left on the latter pike, with his right resting on ...Duck River. Headquarters were established at the residence of Mrs. Warfield, about 3 miles south of Columbia. The two armies l. Y opposite each other during the 27th. The Federals being entrenched, I determined not to attack them in their breastworks, if I could possibly avoid it, but to permit them to cross undisturbed to the north bank of Duck River that night, as I supposed they would do; to hasten preparations, and endeavor to place the main body of the Confed erate army at Spring Hill, 12 miles directly in the enemy s rear, and about mid-way on the only pike leading to Franklin; to attack as the Federals retreated, and put to rout and capture, if possible, their army, which was the sole obstacle between our forces and Nashville in truth, the only barrier to the success of the campaign.
