Question. Were those representatives of the regiments taken previous to or subsequent to the battle of Perryville?

Both previous to, subsequently,and at it.

Question. Your estimate, then, is of the entire force in Kentucky, and not that directly under Bragg between Bardstown and Chattanooga?

My estimate was of the force that Bragg entered Kentucky with and had in front of Louisville.

Question. What was the number of the Army of the Ohio at the time it was concentrated at Bowling Green?

I only know what I have been told by officers of that army, and my recollection of it at the times is it was about 42,000; but I have not thought of it or spoken of it since particularly.

Question. Can you understand why with the forces such as you state them General Bragg gave up so strong a position as Munfordville and hurried off to Bardstown?

The only reason I have ever heard given was that he was out of subsistence and none could be procured there; that he moved up to meet trains sent by Smith to supply him.

Question. Did he not meet these supplies at Bardstown?

I do not know; from the fact that he tarried there I gather that he did.

Question. Was it not as possible to get those supplies from Bardstown to Munfordville as to march the army from Munfordville to Bardstown?

It was not so safe to do it; in fact there was a force at Shepherdstown also at Salt River; our cavalry was also scouting in that direction. He would have run great risk of their being cut off. The bulk of Smith's army, I think,was on the other side of Kentucky River; perhaps a small guard with those trains.

Commission adjourned to meet February 19.

CINCINATTI, February 19, 1863.

Commission met pursuant to adjournment. All the members present; also the judge-advocate and General Buell.

General G. GRANGER'S examination continued.

By the JUDGE-ADVOCATE:

Question. What was the number of regiments under Bragg at Munfordville and what did those regiments average?

I have already stated what I know in regard to the number of regiments; as to what they averaged it is impossible for me to tell. In order to do it I should have to know the number of batteries and the amount of cavalry he had. My recollection is that he had some thirty-eight regiments of cavalry.

Question. The regiments you spoke of were those of the combined forces of Kirby Smith and Bragg, were they not?

No, sir.

Question. Is the Commission then to understand from your statement that Bragg had one hundred and seventy-seven regiments?

I do not know that I could be clearer on that point. It may be necessary to explain in brief that I obtained this information from that provost-marshal at Louisville and from General Boyle and others; but whether they stated that they were Bragg's regiments exclusively or Bragg's and Kirby Smith's combined I do not remember at this time. It was spoken of in a rambling conversation, and it may have been that they meant so. I have heard others speak of it, but I do not know that that point was ever settled.
