General Bragg's army was composed of Folk's, Hill's, Buckner's, Longstreet's (Hood's), and Walker's (Reserve) corps of infantry and Wheeler's and Forrest's corps of cavalry. For the second day's fight it was divided into two wings, General Polk commanding the right and General Long-street the left. The main body of the army crossed the Chickamauga at Reed's Bridge and the fords between that point, and Lee and Gordon's Mill, on the afternoon and night of the 18th, and tunned in the vicinity of and to the north of Hnnt's and Thedford's houses for an advance on the Union position at Lee and Gordon's. The battle was, however, unexpectedly opened by Union troops, which by a night march from McLeinore Cove had reached the vicinity of Jay's Mill and attacked a portion of Forrest's cavalry which had arrived at that point from Alexander's Bridge. Instead of attacking Crittendeu's corps at Lee and Gordon's, General Bragg's divisions were dis patched in succession to his right and rear to meet the Union army on its new ground.
