As the eye of RosECRANS, our daring and brilliant commander, swept over that bloody field, it always rested on Thomas, as the center of his hope. For five days Thomas' command stood fighting in its bloody tracks, until twenty per cent, of its members were killed or wounded, and the enemy had retreated. But it was reserved for the last day at Chickamauga to exhibit, in one supreme example, the vast resources of his pro- digious strength. After a day of heavy fighting and a night of anxious prepa...ration, General Rosecrans had established his lines for the purpose of holding the road to Chattanooga. This road was to be the prize of that day's battle. If our army General George H. Thomas. 31 failed to hold it, not only was our campaign a failure, but inevitable destruction awaited the army itself. RosECRANS had crossed the Tennessee, and had success- fully maneuvered the enemy out of Chattanooga. The greater work remained to march iiis own army into that place, in the face of Bragg's army, heavily reinforced, and greatly outnum- bering his own.
