199 Morning of the last day of the year, dawned in unwonted mildness, and with early light each army began the execution of the plans formed by the opposing chiefs. Eosecrans had established his head-quarters in rear of the left which, as already seen, was to cross Stone River aiid swing into Mur- freesboro'. This, the initial movement, being ordered by the commander, was immediately begun. Van Cleve's division took the lead. Two brigades made the passage without interruption. Wood, filing his ...division down to the river brink, prepared to follow. The movement commenced auspiciously. It is true that from the right some sounds of fight had been heard, l>ut they indicated nothing of moment and they excited only satisfac- tion, for if the enemy's attention was fixed on the right, the way would be all the more open for the decisive stroke on the left — McCook, meanwhile, holding his opponents over there for " three hours." The troops accordingly continued to pass the stream with joyful haste, when suddenly from the fiu'-off right there came an outburst of battle that gave pause to the mov- ins: column, for it was of such volume and fierceness as be- trayed a crisis risen at the very outset of the fight.
