G.T.BEAUREGARD, General.
Notwithstanding this somewhat boastful order or appeal, General Beauregard did not actually accompany General Hood on his disastrous march to Nashville, but took post at Corinth, Mississippi, to control the movement of his supplies and to watch me.
At Gaylesville the pursuit of Hood by the army under my immediate command may be said to have ceased.

During this pursuit, the Fifteenth Corps was commanded by its senior major-general present, P.J.Osterhaus, in the absence of General John A.Logan; and the Seventeenth Corps was commanded by Brigadier-General T.E.G.
Ransom, the senior officer present, in the absence of General Frank P.

Blair.
General Ransom was a young, most gallant, and promising officer, son of the Colonel Ransom who was killed at Chapultepec, in the Mexican War.

He had served with the Army of the Tennessee in 1862 and 1863, at Vicksburg, where he was severely wounded.

He was not well at the time we started from Atlanta, but he insisted on going along with his command.
