Further, he said. no general officer would have allowed a wagon train to impede his movement He would have ordered it off the road Lacked Cohesion. Gen. Swift said the Confedernte hecause of the lack of co-ordination he | tween the iarious forces and to the Woo Iost 58 hich would have placed all troops at th right place at the right time.
