Jonesboro, Georgia, also known as Jonesborough. Confederate Lieutenant-General Stephen Dill Lee’s Corps left Jonesboro at 2 am and halted at Rough and Ready on its way to join Lieutenant-General Alexander Peter Stewart’s Corps at Atlanta. Only Confederate Lieutenant-General William Joseph Hardee’s Corps remained at Jonesboro. Soon after dark, Confederate General John Bell Hood heard that Union troops were crossing the Western & Macon Railroad at Rough Ready and Lee confirmed this. Lee reported several other incursions after he reached East Point at 5 am. Lee had not only evaded interception during his march, but he had also discovered for certain that the Union troops facing Hardee were from the Union Army of the Cumberland and the Army of the Ohio.
Hardee’s corps was now unsupported at Jonesboro and he disposed his troops for defence against an attack from the west. Major-General Patrick Ronayne Cleburne’s division held his extreme right flank, with Brigadier-General Hiram Bronson Granbury’s brigade on the left of the line, Brigadier-General Daniel Chevilette Govan’s occupying a salient in the centre, and Brigadier-General Joseph Horace Lewis’ brigade positioned to the right rear. Cleburne’s division bore the brunt of the fighting as the other two divisions were not heavily attacked.
Union Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman was concentrating on the destruction of the railroad south of Atlanta but soon spotted the opportunity to destroy Hardee’s isolated corps. Major-General George Henry Thomas (with two corps from the Army of the Cumberland) and Major-General John McAllister Schofield (with one corps from the Army of the Ohio) were ordered to reinforce Major-General Oliver Otis Howard (with three corps of the Army of the Tennessee) at Jonesboro. This would concentrate 60,000 Union men against 12,500 Hardee’s exhausted troops. The XX Corps of Major-General Henry Warner Slocum remained north of Atlanta and he was ordered to demonstrate vigorously to pin its garrison in place.
Howard began by pushing the remainder of Major-General Grenville Mellen Dodge’s division across the Flint River, where it reinforced Major-General John Alexander Logan’s XV Corps opposite the Confederates west of Jonesboro. The two divisions of Major-General Francis Preston Blair’s XVII Corps supported Brigadier-General Hugh Judson Kilpatrick’s cavalry division, cutting the railroad south of the town to prevent any escape. Thomas’s IV Corps under Major-General David Sloan Stanley was destroying the railroad at Rough and Ready and was directed to move with the XIV Corps of Brigadier-General Jefferson Columbus Davis to Jonesboro. They would form on Howard’s left flank and across the railroad, to crush Hardee’s right flank. Schofield’s army continued to wreck the railroad track but was ordered to follow behind Stanley’s men in order to be within supporting distance.
Davis’ XIV Corps arrived in position at about 1 pm and deployed three divisions astride the Western & Macon Railroad. Davis was determined to exploit the advantage as he was equal in numbers to Hardee, who was already fixed in place by Howard’s Army of the Tennessee to his front. At 4 pm, Davis pushed forward a brigade under Colonel Edie (2/1/XIV) to reconnoitre Hardee’s positions. Edie drove back the Confederate skirmishers and occupied a hill that commanded Govan’s salient in the middle of Hardee’s line. This permitted Prescott’s Battery C 1^st Illinois Artillery to bring enfilade and counter-battery fire onto the salient and Edie’s brigade gained a foothold in Govan’s defences. They were soon driven out with heavy losses when reinforcements failed to appear to consolidate their gains. At about 5 pm, Colonel George Peabody Este’s brigade (3/3/XIV) moved forward as part of a mass attack. They overran the defences and two batteries and then captured the entire salient. Union Brigadier-General William Passmore Carlin’s division (1/XIV) and Brigadier-General James Dada Morgan’s division (2/XIV) then executed a double envelopment that annihilated the remnants of Govan’s brigade. They took Govan prisoner with more than half of his men. Two Confederate batteries were overrun and captured.
On the Confederate right flank, Lewis and Granbury withdrew their brigades to new positions and halted the catastrophe. The Confederate left flank and centre held their positions until dark. Sherman held back Howard’s army from making a full-frontal assault on the Confederate strong defences. Sherman anticipated that Stanley’s Corps, and later Schofield, would complete the rout by crushing the crumbling Confederate right flank and breaking into their rear from the north. Sherman and Thomas sent numerous couriers to urge Stanley to hasten into the attack, but it was in vain. Stanley had been delayed by taking the wrong country road. By the time Stanley finally appeared on Davis’ left, the fighting was petering out, darkness was falling, and it was too late for him to engage effectively. Stanley’s Corps could have provided the final blow to break through and past Hardee’s flank. Schofield arrived even later than Stanley and did not add anything to the attack. Sherman planned a new and destructive assault by his six corps against Hardee’s lone corps as soon as daylight broke but Hardee had evacuated Jonesboro and retreated overnight six miles south to Lovejoy’s Station.
Union casualties during the day were 1,272 or 1,275 men out of 20,460 engaged. Confederate losses were around 1,000 to 1,400 men with Cleburne losing 911 men (659 of them missing) out of a total of 2,661 engaged. (CWSAC Decisive Battle Union Victory)

Atlanta, Georgia. Confederate General John Bell Hood finally realised that all three Union armies were now operating in force south and southwest of Atlanta. Unless he could evacuate the city immediately, most of his own Army of Tennessee would be surrounded in the beleaguered city. Hood started to evacuate the city at 5 pm. The two corps of Lieutenant-General Stephen Dill Lee, currently at Rough and ready, and Lieutenant-General Alexander Peter Stewart, holding Atlanta, moved towards Lovejoy’s Station. Lieutenant-General William Joseph Hardee’s Corps had already been forced to retreat to Lovejoy’s Station after its defeat at Jonesboro. Confederate Major-General Samuel Gibbs French’s division provided the rear guard and departed from Atlanta at about 11 pm. The Confederates burned the city’s huge munitions and supply depots creating fires that burned out of control, destroying much of the city’s rail yards. At midnight, a large ammunition train was blown up, to avoid capture, as it could not be removed by rail. The sound was audible to the Union armies fifteen miles to the south at Jonesboro.

Louisiana. Skirmish at Gentilly’s Plantation near Bay Natchez, below Lake Natchez LA.

Missouri. Operation in Johnson County began.

Missouri. Skirmish at Lone Jack.

Missouri. Confederates attacked and captured Tipton and then retreated towards Boonville.

Tennessee. Incident at Clifton.

Virginia. Incidents at Prince George Court House and Stephenson’s Depot.

Virginia. Skirmish at Opequon Creek.

Virginia. Orders reached Lieutenant-General Jubal Anderson Early in the Shenandoah Valley, requesting the return of Lieutenant-General Richard Heron Anderson’s troops to Richmond if they could be spared. Anderson commanded Major-General Joseph Brevard Kershaw’s division and Major-General Fitzhugh Lee’s cavalry division. Early believed that the Union Army of the Shenandoah was at Charles Town and showed no immediate signs of advancing, so he acquiesced to the request. The troops were ordered to be ready to leave on 3 September 1864.

Virginia. Confederate Brigadier-General John Hunt Morgan left Abingdon to oppose a Union column reported to be heading for Saltville and the nearby lead mines.
