"And you have to make drawings for every ad?" "Exactly, not one but six or eight sometimes. It depends upon the ability of the art director. If he does his work right I save money." Eugene saw the point. "What became of the other man?" he asked, noting the name of Older Freeman on the door. "Oh, he quit," said Summerville, "or rather he saw what was coming and got out of the way. He was no good.
He is now crossing the Coosa River below Rome, looking west. Let me know if you can hold him with your forces now in Tennessee and the expected reenforeements, as, in that event, you know what I propose to do. I will be at Kingston to-morrow. I think Rome is strong enough to resist any attack, and the rivers are all high. If he turns up by Summerville, I will get in behind him.
I. General Longstreet's command, constituting the right wing of the army, will cross the Rapidan at Raccoon Ford, and move in the direction of Culpepper Court-House. General Jackson's command, constituting the left wing, will cross at Summerville Ford, and move in the same direction, keeping on the left of General Longstreet.
General Hood had evidently marched with rapidity up the Chattooga Valley, by Summerville, Lafayette, Ship's Gap, and Snake-Creek Gap, and had with him his whole army, except a small force left behind to watch Rome.
After the Union army passed the river and Chattanooga fell into our hands; we still kept pressing the enemy's communications, and the configuration of the country necessitated more or less isolation of the different corps. McCook's corps of three divisions had crossed two difficult ridges Sand and Lookout mountains to Alpine in Broomtown Valley with intentions against Summerville.
This assumption soon proved erroneous, however, and as we, while in Broomtown Valley, could not communicate directly with Thomas's corps, the scattered condition of the army began to alarm us all, and McCook abandoned the advance to Summerville, ordering back to the summit of Lookout Mountain such of the corps trains as had got down into Broomtown Valley.

The march of McCook's corps from Valley Head to Alpine was in pursuance of orders directing it to advance on Summerville, the possession of which place would further threaten the enemy's communications, it being assumed that Bragg was in full retreat south, as he had abandoned Chattanooga on the 8th.
"Come back with us, you verfluchte Alsatz-Lothringer." The Englishmen from the Lord Summerville now began calling out, "Let him alone!" and "I say, give the lad fair play!" Some of them leaped down on the dock in a trice. "Who the hell let him out?" roared the mate. I stood on deck, holding my breath, and ready to bolt in case Franz betrayed me.
General Anderson's division will cross at Summerville Ford, follow the route of General Jackson, and act in reserve. The battalion of light artillery, under Colonel S.D. Lee, will take the same route.
