General Anderson's health failed so completely, that he resigned, and, on the 8th of October, General Sherman was appointed his suc- cessor.

The greater part of the populatioa of Kentucky capable of bearing arms had joined the rebel army. Those who remained behind were divided in sentiment, but most of them, from one cause or anot...her, unfriendly.

He was deficient also in munitions of war, and in the means of transportation, while in his front were rebel forces outnumbenng his own at almost every point, well supplied and confident of success. If the rebel generals had known his actual condition, they could have captured or driven his forces across the Ohio in ten days.
