So the time thus spent in political machinationswas wholly lost to Bragg; and so little reinforcement was added tohis army that it may be said that the recruits gained were not enoughto supply the deficiencies resulting from the recent toilsome marchesof the campaign. In the meanwhile Buell had arrived at Louisville, system had beensubstituted for the chaos which had previously obtained there, andorders were issued for an advance upon the enemy with the purpose ofattacking and the hope of destr...oying him within the limits of the"blue grass" region, and, failing in that, to drive him fromKentucky. The army moved October 1, 1862, and my division, now apart of the Third Corps, commanded by General C. C. Gilbert, marcheddirectly on Bardstown, where it was thought the enemy would make astand, but Bragg's troops retreated toward Perryville, only resistingsufficiently to enable the forces of General Kirby Smith to be drawnin closer--they having begun a concentration at Frankfort--so theycould be used in a combined attack on Louisville as soon as theConfederate commander's political projects were perfected.
