The "Campaigns" -should have been written by one that had as full knowledge of the entire -regiment as the author of these imperfect sketches had of the company he -commanded during the service. Some of these campaigns were written for -the purpose of preserving the events therein narrated, and by -solicitation were delivered before the "permanent organization" of the -regiment at its annual reunions, held from time to time, in the vicinity -where the regiment was organized. Some, by mere chance, were published -in the soldier papers of the country, and copied into others; but not -until very recently did their author contemplate putting them into their -present form, and only after a very strong desire had been expressed by -the regiment, at one of its reunions, that some attempt should be made -to preserve the deeds of the heroic men, living and dead, that composed -one of the truest and best regiments that ever marched beneath the -colors of the republic, did the author determine to undertake the work -that is now consummated. - -It is the opinion of the author, in putting this book into the hands of -those who did so much to make the history it seeks to perpetuate, that -the most striking thing about it is its imperfections, its inaccuracies. -And this, to a certain extent, needs be so, as the events it -commemorates were written, almost altogether, from memory, and that -after more than twenty-five years after the facts narrated took place; -and many a time, while recalling those marches, battles and sufferings -of those brave men that struggled "to keep the flag in the sky during -all those dark years," it occurred to the author—could he only have the -memory of each of the survivors of that grand body of men, how much more -complete, accurate and interesting his work would be to them for the -perusal of whom it is intended. And again, the experiences of a modest, -but quite busy, professional career, for many years, has taught the -author that the same event is never seen by all alike, never remembered -by all alike, and could not be written by all alike, though all were -equally desirous to tell nothing but the truth. - -In these "Campaigns" there has been no desire to gloss over the mistakes -and imperfections of the actors of the greatest drama that was ever -enacted in the world's history; but in the criticism of them the author -has had continually in mind the fact that, generally, all was done with -the best endeavor, with a purpose and patriotism that has not a parallel -in history. And sometimes it seems to be better to note a few faults, -that the work may seem real, not fabulous; that we write of men, not of -angels. - -It was the original purpose to present engravings from portraits of the -field and staff, the original captains of the companies and some others, -but too much time had run to carry out, entirely, this design. We could -not publish engravings of each member of the regiment, though we are -aware that nearly all are worthy of such honor, and we thought to be -content with publishing engravings of the representative men of the -regiment, but in this we have succeeded only in part. - -The "Roster and Roll of Honor" attached to the "Campaigns" is the one -published by the direction and authority of the State of Ohio. It is far -from being perfect, but the best that could be furnished, under all the -circumstances, and is worth a great deal more to each member of the -regiment in the form presented herein, than it is as published by the -authority of the state. - -And now we say, go, thou little imperfect production, into the hands and -homes of those with whom we served, suffered, and still love. If this -poor souvenir of so good a service, and so many and great sacrifices, -revives the memories and stirs those brave hearts to whose services no -pen and no tongue can do justice, our desires are accomplished. - - G. W. LEWIS, - Major 124th Regiment, O. V. I. - - _Medina, O., February 17, 1894._ - -[Illustration: - - _SURGEON DEWITT C. PATTERSON._ -] - - - - - The Campaigns of the 124th Regiment, - - OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. - - - - - FROM CLEVELAND, OHIO, TO MANCHESTER, TENN. - - -The One Hundred and Twenty-fourth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, was -born of the great impulse of patriotism that swept over the country in -the latter part of the summer of 1862, occasioned by the necessity for -the "300,000 more" to put down the slaveholder's rebellion. The greater -part of the regiment volunteered without the aid of a recruiting -officer. Company A was raised in Cuyahoga county, and the patriotic and -earnest William Wilson, afterwards its captain, seconded by that most -enthusiastic of men, Cleveland Van Dorn, afterwards captain of Company -D, were the leading spirits around which the brave men, that afterwards -were mustered into the service of the United States as Co. A, 124th O. -V. I., gathered, and became in fact what they were by letter, the first -of the regiment. Company A was organized with the intention of becoming -a part of the 103d O. V. I., but on going into camp, Captain Wilson -found that regiment already full, and finally determined to join his -fortunes, and that of his noble men, with those of the 124th O. V. I., -to which regiment Oliver H. Payne had been commissioned as lieutenant -colonel, and James Pickands, formerly of the 1st O. V. I., as major. - -Company B was organized, almost exclusively, from the young men of the -western townships of Medina county. Spencer township furnished the -greater number, some forty enlisting from that township in one day, -August 12th. Litchfield township furnished a goodly number, while Homer, -Harrisville, Chatham, La Fayette helped to swell the ranks, while a few -came from Wayne, some from Lorain, and later the youngest member, John -M. Bowman, was consigned by his patriotic mother, residing in Cleveland, -to the care of Company B. This company, or rather body of men, was sent -into Camp Cleveland by order of the Military Committee of Medina county, -composed of Judge Samuel Humphreville, John B. Young, Esq., and Mr. John -Rounds. This body of men, by the intercessions of the committee with -Governor Todd, was suffered to elect its commissioned officers, and, as -the result, George W. Lewis was chosen captain, John Raidaie, first -lieutenant, and Charles M. Stedman, second lieutenant. When this company -came to be mustered into the service of the United States, it had so -many men that a number of them had to be mustered in other companies, -and were afterwards transferred back to the company in which they had -enlisted. This was also the experience of Company A. - -Company C was mostly raised in Cuyahoga, and Robert Wallace, afterwards -its captain, and John O'Brien, afterwards its second lieutenant, seemed -to be the nucleus around which the good men of Company C appeared to -form. Many of them were from the "Emerald Isle," and proved their honor -and daring on many hard fought fields of the campaigns of the regiment -in after days. - -Company E came in from Lorain county, and John W. Bullock was made its -captain. But time and space forbid a more extended notice of the -different parts of an organization that was first-class, singly, or as a -whole, more than to say that Company D was brought into camp by Captain -George W. Aumend, the company being raised mostly in Henry county. -Company F was raised from the northern part of the state, and was -commanded by Captain Horace E. Dakin. Company G had many men from -Cincinnati, but was, in fact, recruited from all parts of the state. -Captain William A. Powell was its first captain. Company H was -recruited, mostly, in Cleveland, and its first captain was that -accomplished officer, Eben S. Coe. Company I was largely from -Cincinnati, with the late lamented James H. Frost as its first captain, -while Company K seemed to be a sort of an overflow from almost anywhere. -Hiram H. Manning was its first captain, and he was not mustered as such -until November 10th, 1863. It seemed for a long time to be a sort of -"motherless colt" of the regiment, and fared accordingly, but it never -failed in action, if it did not always have the care a company should -have. - -In Camp Cleveland we took our first lesson as soldiers. Here the -"Awkward Squad" might have been seen, at almost all hours of sunlight, -being drilled by one a very little less awkward than themselves. The -"halt," "right-dress," "forward," "steady there," "eyes right," "eyes -left," "right wheel," etc., etc., given in the tones of a Stentor, might -have been heard on the parade grounds of Camp Cleveland, in season and -out of season, during all the fall and early winter of 1862. We were not -well up in the manual of arms here, as I do not remember that we had -muskets for all the men in this camp. - -Camp Cleveland, during the time our regiment was there, was a hard place -for the young volunteer. Calls were constantly being made by the -relatives of the volunteers, and visits were constantly being solicited -and made to the old homes, so that, in time, the best officer(?) was the -one that granted the greatest number of "leaves of absence." Under such -circumstances, anything like the discipline necessary to perfect the raw -but patriotic volunteer into the well drilled and efficient soldier was -out of the question, and many a line officer was relieved of a very -heavy burden when January 1st, 1863, came, and our regiment was -furnished transportation toward the seat of war. None of the living -members of the 124th will have forgotten the terrible snowstorm at -Elizabethtown, Ky. - -About the first of February, 1863, it seems a large number of regiments -were assembled at and near Louisville, Ky., to be forwarded to augment -the Army of the Cumberland, under the then victorious, and very popular, -General Rosecrans. Our regiment was paid off before we started on that -ever memorable expedition "down the Ohio," and up the Cumberland river -to Nashville, Tenn. Those were the times that tried the souls of the -company commandant. We had never been mustered for pay, and without -anyone, at first, to instruct us, that which afterwards seemed very -simple, was then a mountain of responsibility and worry. The captain -that could not get his muster rolls so they would pass the inspection of -that prince among gentlemen, Paymaster Major John Coon, could not have -his company paid, and anxiety is never a very great auxiliary to the -completion of a new and hard task. But those of us that looked upon this -financial officer in a sense akin to dread, found him a genial -schoolmaster, and he not only instructed us in our duties, but followed -us down the river until the last company of our regiment had received -its pay. The larger share of this money was sent home to wives and -children, and friends (some to creditors) in our own Ohio. - -I have often wondered why the government did not march this force, that -was assembled at Louisville, to Nashville. The distance was one hundred -and eighty miles, connected by one of the best macadamized roads in the -country; and could we have been permitted to make the march by easy -stages, we would have been half soldiers by the time we reached -Nashville, and in a condition of health and soldierly prosperity very -much to be desired. But the way we were sent by the old stern-wheelers, -it occupied eleven days to make the trip, with no fire to keep us -comfortable or for cooking our rations, while the nights were spent in -shivering on the cheerless decks of those old wheezy and stinking boats, -which to all appearances had not been cleaned since the carpenters laid -their keels. Many a man was lost to the service of his country from this -method of his transportation, and many a man dates the loss of his -health from those eleven days of suffering and exposure. But whoever -writes of wars must write of mistakes; but we will think that everything -was intended for our good, by those that had the good of the country in -their keeping. The night we approached Nashville, we heard heavy firing -up the river, and found the next morning on coming up to the site of -Fort Donelson, that a portion of Wheeler's command had made an attack -upon the small garrison, and had been repulsed with a very severe loss, -considering the number engaged. - -We went ashore and saw the dead confederates lying all about a piece of -artillery, that it seems they had endeavored to take by charging the -same; but the gun manned by the brave Illinoisans that composed the -garrison, made fearful havoc in the ranks of Wheeler. The officer that -lead the charge, Col. Overton, lay dead near the piece, and we were told -he was the same man that owned the estate where we first made our camp -in Tennessee. The killed of the garrison had been gathered under a shed, -and were composed in what seemed to me to be a long row, and as I looked -upon their upturned faces, pallid in death, and ghastly with wounds, I -thought I had already seen enough of war. We returned to our boat, and -steamed slowly up to Nashville. Going from Donelson to Nashville we saw -the river gunboat, Concord. It was claimed that this boat had taken part -in the fight of the day before, and we looked upon it, not only with -curiosity, but with admiration, it being the first specimen of Uncle -Sam's navy that many of us had ever seen. On arriving at the levee at -Nashville, we disembarked, and forming the regiment in column of company -front, with our band playing, and colors flying, we marched through the -principal street of the city. But how different from Cleveland, O. Not a -friendly face greeted us. Hardly a citizen was to be seen on the -streets, and not a salute nor a shout welcomed us to this one of the -most treasonable cities of the confederacy. We now, for the first time, -realized that we were in the land of the rebellion. We moved that -evening out to Overton Heights on the Franklin pike, and went into camp -on the very spot where the same regiment, as veteran soldiers, on the -sixteenth day of December, 1864, scattered the last of Hood's infantry -on the memorable field of Nashville. - -In a few days we marched to the village of Franklin, eighteen miles by -the pike from Nashville. This march was a very trying ordeal for us -green soldiers. The most of the men carried luggage enough to overload a -mule, and such knapsacks as the men staggered under in this little -march, would have been a matter of amusement later in the war. - -On arriving at Franklin, we went into camp on the north side of the -Harpeth river, that forms the northern boundary of the village, and -commenced soldier life in earnest. This place was occupied as an outpost -of General Van Dorn's division of Bragg's army, but what few rebels were -on duty here did not seem to care to try titles with us. Here, our -major, James B. Hampson, came to us, and being a member of the old -Cleveland Grays, and also having seen service in one of the earlier -regiments of the Ohio troops, was a very valuable acquisition to us in -the way of an instructor. His soldierly bearing and pleasant manner won -all our hearts. He instructed us in the "manual of arms," taught us the -"load in nine times," while in regimental and brigade drill he was a -regular God-send to the ignorant officers of the line, that the most of -us were. Here we had to attend the "school for the officer" and recite -from Casey's Tactics to our young colonel, and many the hour we spent -with him, ere the, to us, at that time, mysterious positions in which a -regiment could be formed were thoroughly mastered. Some of our officers -could learn nothing from books; but for school-teachers, like Captain -Van Dorn, and preachers, like Captain Stratton, it was nothing but fun -to repair to the Colonel's quarters to recite to one that had an earnest -desire to make capable officers of us all. We were now in the presence -of the enemy, and Forrest's cavalry used often to lope up to our pickets -to see what we looked like; and it was no infrequent occurrence for the -dreaded "long-roll" to call us from our slumbers to stand at arms for an -hour on the regimental parade ground. I remember one morning that we -were thus called out, and Company C, under Lieutenant O'Brien, was a -little late in taking its place in the line. Soon we heard it coming on -the double quick, while the "rich Irish brogue" of the lieutenant in -getting his company into line attracted our attention more than any -advance of the enemy that we apprehended (for by this time we had -discovered that this standing at arms was a scheme of old granny Gilbert -to give our hospitals practice); finding his place in the line, in some -way, his last command was, "Sthand fast company _say_, and I'll lay me -bones wid ye." - -In the school of the officer, I remember his attempt at recitation that -ran something like this: "The ordly sagint thin advances tin paces, -surrur! nah!—two paces—I don't know, surrur." The big-hearted Irishman, -that did the fine work on the Perry monument, cutting the guard chain of -his watch out of the solid marble, at last learned that he was not -intended for an officer, though brave and patriotic, tendered his -resignation, and that was the last we ever saw or heard of Lieutenant -John O'Brien. - -But while instructions in the movements of the company and regiment were -necessary, and we all tried to profit by the same, facility in -recitation did not necessarily make the valuable officer. As an -instance, our Methodist minister, Captain Daniel Stratton, was -Wonderfully fluent at the recitations, and became quite well drilled, -but at our first great battle, Chickamauga, he deserted his company, as -we were coming into the action, _in the face of the enemy_, and was -saved from the fate of his conduct by the great heart of Colonel -Pickands. He said to the colonel, "when I thought of my wife and dear -children at home I could not advance a single step towards the front." -But he advanced pretty well towards the rear, for after two days of -dreadful fighting and the third day in offering battle to an enemy, -nominally victors, but thoroughly whipped (save the magazine writers), -we came to Chattanooga and found our preacher in very comfortable -quarters, with his resignation ready written out, which was accepted by -our regimental commandant. Could our Irish lieutenant have done worse? -The march, the campaign, the skirmish line, the picket duty, the battle, -after all, were the true tests of soldierly qualities. Many a man, many -an officer, arose in our estimation, after we saw him tried in the -ordeal of battle, for whom we entertained but very little respect -before. - -At Franklin we had to do picket duty by company out south of the -village, our line running along near the residence of one of the high- -toned families of the town, by the name of Atkinson. At his residence -our reserve post was established, and we posted a guard to protect the -family, which consisted of the old gentleman, quite aged, his wife and a -beautiful daughter, bearing the common but genial name of Sally. There -were two sons, but both were serving in General Frank Cheatham's -division of the rebel army. Sally was quite an expert singer, and played -the piano reasonably well, and, to entertain us, she was kind enough to -sing some of the war songs of the confederacy. I remember pieces of -those songs to this day; one went like this: - - "Hurrah, hurrah, for southern rights hurrah, - Hurrah for the bonny blue flag, that bears the single star." - -And another: - - "No northern flag shall ever wave - O'er southern soil and southern graves, - Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land, - In Dixie land we'll take our stand, - And conquer peace for Dixie." - -These rebel war songs and others might have been heard floating out on -the soft evening air, near the old locust grove, and no one of the brave -men that did duty there thought any the less of the pert and plucky -rebel girl. We laughed at her wit and the raillery that she heaped on -us, calling us invaders. But the colonel of the 125th was one day on -duty as officer of the day, and hearing of the rebel girl and her songs, -reported the matter to old granny Gilbert, who issued an order that had -the effect of an injunction, and we heard no more of the sweet voice of -Sally Atkinson while we did duty at Franklin. Colonel Opdyke was an -excellent officer in many respects, but a pronounced martinet, and had -not a particle of humor in his composition. There was a rumor in the -regiment that our Colonel Jim, as we sometimes called him, was a little -sweet on Sally, but I think there was nothing of it, and for the sad -fate of Sally and her two brothers, see the last campaign of this book. - -We had not been long in Franklin before our experience in -transportation, heretofore referred to, began to have its deadly effect. -The typhoid fever and camp diarrhœa became alarmingly common. Our men -sickened and were sent to the general hospital at Nashville, where very -many died, and many were discharged, as unfit for further military duty. -Not any one of the hard fought battles of our campaigns so depleted our -ranks as our stay at Franklin. The water was of the limestone formation, -and did not seem to agree with those that were comparatively well, much -less those that were sick. I think that every old soldier will agree -with me that the march, while more fatiguing, is more healthful than the -camp. - -While at Franklin we had the misfortune to be under the command of one -General Gilbert, a regular army officer. A man that the government had -educated at great expense at West Point, and had kept in service for -years after, and yet had no process of determining that he had no sense. - -This man, that might possibly have commanded a company under a careful -colonel, was placed in command of all the forces around Franklin. I am -sorry to say it was under the command of this imbecile that we first met -the enemy. Colonel Coburn's brigade, which was composed of the 85th and -33d Ind. V. I., the 19th Mich. V. I., the 22d Wis. V. I., the 2d Mich. -Cav., a part of the 4th Ky., and a part of the 9th Pa. Cav., with a -light battery of six guns and a small train of wagons for forage, was -ordered in the direction of Columbia. Our regiment accompanied the -expedition as train guard. We moved a short distance the first day out -and went into camp, having seen a few rebel cavalry, and having received -the fire from a rebel gun or two that did no damage to us, save the -breaking a musket stock for one of our men. The next morning we moved -out of camp, and I remember watching the 19th Mich., it was such a -large, fine looking body of men, and moved down the pike toward Thompson -Station. Colonel Coburn soon developed the enemy in force, and so -reported to General Gilbert, who sent back an order for him to advance -and engage the enemy, intimating that the commander of the brigade was a -coward. Colonel Coburn then advanced and engaged the rebels, but his -little force was outflanked on either side by the superior numbers of -the enemy, and though fighting heroically, were soon surrounded and -captured, save the battery that ran over the rebel infantry, and a small -part of the 22d Wis., a part of one company, the cavalry force; and had -it not been for our good luck in being on duty with the wagons, we would -also have been taken. As it was, nothing saved us but the best of -running, and in a long race at that. We came into camp that night badly -used up, and very much disgusted with our old granny Gilbert, having -seen and run away from the battle of Thompson Station. The government -expended Colonel Coburn's brigade and the lives of many brave men to -learn, what every soldier about Franklin knew from the first, that -Gilbert was not fit to be in the command of anybody. - -While at Franklin we built a very fine fort, situated northwesterly of -the village, and near our camp. The fort was built of earth, regularly -laid out with angles, and a deep moat surrounding the entire work. The -embrasures were well protected with gabions made of cane bound in -bundles, and in the center a fine magazine was constructed. - -Heavy guns were brought from Nashville, and mounted _en barbette_. Why -the fort was built none could tell. The chances that it would ever be of -use to the cause of the Union were one thousand to one against the -proposition, but at the battle of Franklin, November 30, 1864, it paid -large interest on the investment. Those big smooth-bore guns shelled the -cotton field, south of the village, over which the rebels charged, in a -manner which was fearful to behold. We that had worked so many days on -that fort, felt that we were well repaid for our toil. - -While the fort was building, it occurred to Colonel Payne that the -"contraband of war" might be useful in this work, so he ordered -Lieutenant Raidaie to take a detail of men, and go forth and bring in -such of the bondmen as he could find that were able to do the work -required. So the lieutenant sallied forth in the direction of Roper's -Knob, and he was rewarded by finding large numbers of the aforesaid -"contraband," as the slave owners of Kentucky had sent their slaves into -Tennessee, to keep them as far away as possible from the union lines. -These slaves we kept in camp until the fort was completed, and all that -desired were permitted to return to the places from whence they were -taken; but many of the younger ones stayed with us, and engaged -themselves as servants to the officers. But it was wonderful with what -alacrity these poor ignorant colored people performed the work required -of them. They seemed to realize that they were working for themselves. - -March 9th, 1863, we left our camp at Franklin, General Gordon Granger in -command, and marched to within about a mile of Spring Hill, passed by -and over the battle field of March 5th, Thompson Station, but saw no -evidences of the late unequal, but sanguinary contest, save a few broken -guns and some dead horses. We went into bivouac at night, having no -tents with us. We marched thirteen miles. The next day it commenced -raining and we were all wet to the skin, but nothing daunted, we went at -work and fixed up shelter, and at about ten a. m. we had marching -orders. We marched about three miles, it raining all the time. Company B -received a detail to furnish twenty-five men for picket duty, which was -filled with healthy men, and quite a number of sick men in camp, and the -number ailing in the regiment was far from being inconsiderable. But we -found the next day that this movement toward Columbia did not mean -anything, and we were ordered back to Franklin, which was only a march -of seventeen miles, but we came into camp that night as stiff and sore -as foundered horses. We had no battle, we had lost no men, but take it -all in all, we were the better soldiers for the experience we had -gained. - -We had now been in Franklin three months, and had put in the time in all -the ways in which a soldier's life is made up. Now, hardly a day went by -that the rebel cavalry did not appear at our picket line, and frequently -a lively skirmish would occur between our cavalry and a detachment of -that of our enemy. The losses of the rebels were always enormous(?) -while ours were entirely insignificant. The early part of April the -rebels made a raid on our rear, and destroyed a bridge on the railroad -about six miles north of Franklin, which caused us very much annoyance, -for at that period in our history, as soldiers, we thought we were badly -treated if we did not get our letters regularly from home. - -June 2d, 1863, was our last at the camp at Franklin. Here, we had -learned very much of the duties of the soldier. We had not been slack in -our work, and had become quite proficient in the company, regimental, -and brigade evolutions. Here we had bidden good-bye to very many of our -men, and our companies were small compared to what they were when we -came to this camp; but our colonel consoled us by insisting that the -fighting number of one hundred men, for all causes, was about sixty, and -we found afterwards that the estimate of our young colonel was not far -from the mark. This day we struck our tents, and marched to Triune, a -distance of but thirteen miles, but the weather was so excessively hot -that our men suffered a great deal; but we had learned some wisdom from -our former experience, for our knapsacks were not nearly as large as -when we left Nashville. We remained in Triune until the twenty-first day -of June, during which time we were stirred up by skirmishes very -frequently, but the skirmishing was done mostly by the cavalry, on the -respective sides, and the usual large stories were told in camp of our -immense superiority over the enemy. While at Triune, one of our fellow -citizens from Ohio, C. L. Vallandigham, was sent through our lines "to -his friends in the south," as Mr. Lincoln humorously put it. We were -usually very glad to see anyone from home, but we were not at all proud -of this representative from Ohio. - -We now saw what we regarded as indications of a general advance on the -position of the enemy, and it seemed to be our fate to be compelled to -march to the extreme left of the army to join the brigade to which we -had been assigned while at Triune. We were assigned to what was called -Hazen's brigade, composed of the 41st O. V. I., the 9th Ind. V. I., the -93d O. V. I., the 6th Ky. V. I., and our regiment, commanded by General -Wm. B. Hazen, the first colonel of the 41st, an officer in every way -qualified for the command assigned him. This day we marched over the -battle field of Stone river, through the dense cedars that figure so -conspicuously in the descriptions of that terrible engagement of the -closing year of 1862. We marched through the village of Murfreesborough, -and out one and one-half miles east of the town, and went into camp, -having come that day a distance of twenty-two miles, with less fatigue -and suffering than any we had formerly made. The next day we marched to -Readyville, a distance of twelve miles, and found our brigade. Here we -fixed up a nice camp, and were informed we would stay for some time. -This was as desolate a part of the south as it was ever our fortune to -tread over. It did not seem to be inhabited to any great extent, and was -as woodsy as Ohio seventy-five years ago. On the twenty-fourth of June -we broke up our camp and marched directly south through Bradyville, a -city consisting of three houses. We saw the burning of a great amount of -provisions before leaving Readyville that we concluded had to be -abandoned for lack of transportation. We marched this day about seven -miles in a very severe rainstorm. We were now informed that we were -after General Bragg, and we might expect a general engagement at any -time. The next day we marched not to exceed six or seven miles, and came -to a very long, steep hill that gave our artillery and train great -difficulty in the ascent. The roads we came over this day were the worst -we had so far encountered, but when we were on the top of this hill we -were on a broad shelf or table-land lying directly west of the -Cumberland mountains that seemed good for nothing, save to illustrate -the great variety of the works of Almighty God. The next day we stayed -in camp all day, waiting for our train to come up. It rained almost all -day long. The next day, June 27th, company B was detailed to help the -train along. They came to what is called the Long Branch of the Duck -river, and the men had to build a brush bridge across the stream, and -after getting mired in the quicksands time and time again, they finally -succeeded in getting the train over. This company did not get in to join -the regiment until the next morning, and then came wet, weary, and not -in their usual sweet temper. - -The next day, Sunday, we marched but four miles and camped in a wood (I -do not remember of seeing any fields); but one thing justice requires to -be said for this table-land country, the water was simply exquisite. We -were now reported to be within forty-two miles of Manchester, and we -were informed that we were now making a grand flank movement that was to -cut off the retreat of Bragg, and by which we were to capture his entire -army, and, in fact, we were making this grand flank movement at the -rapid(?) rate of from seven to ten miles per day. On the twenty-ninth we -crossed the east branch of Duck river and did little but get our train -over this miry stream. This same weary marching continued until the -fourth day of July, and finds us on the Elk river, at Morris Ford, -awaiting the arrival of the pontoons. It had rained almost incessantly -for the last fourteen days, and very many of us had not had our clothing -dry in that time, but the weather was warm and none of us seemed to take -cold; I remember one day of this march that it was so very hot that the -men fell out in great numbers, and when we halted at night, no company -of the regiment could show more than one stack of muskets; but before -morning the good faithful boys came in, and the next day were ready to -resume their arduous duties. On July the 8th we arrived at Manchester, -and found that General Bragg had escaped us, and had crossed the -mountains into the valley of the Tennessee. We had not seen a rebel -since leaving Triune, and owing to the condition of the country and -roads, if we had seen one he must have been dead, for we did not move -fast enough to overtake a live one. No battle had been fought, though -one day we heard heavy firing in the direction of Tullahoma. - -And so ended the summer for the 124th O. V. I., and also, in fact, for -the Army of the Cumberland. Although General Rosecrans had not succeeded -in bringing Bragg to an engagement, he had driven him from middle -Tennessee, the great rebel recruiting ground for men, animals, and -supplies, and while the victory was bloodless, it was in no small sense -important to the union cause. The unionists of east Tennessee saw in it -their coming deliverance, while the depressing effect of a retreat told -upon the confederate forces. Since leaving Franklin our regiment had -marched over one hundred and fifty miles, which, considering the weather -and the state of the roads, was an accomplishment that had a tendency to -increase our confidence, and prepare us for the more arduous duties that -fell to our lot after we crossed the great mountains and commenced -operations in the valley of the Tennessee—the key to the conquest of the -confederacy. - -[Illustration: - - _QUARTERMASTER WILLIAM TREAT._ -] - - - - - SOME RECOLLECTIONS OF THE CAMPAIGN OF CHATTANOOGA - AND THE BATTLE OF CHICKAMAUGA. - - -If you ask, to-day,[1] the young man of twenty-five years, married and -his little ones growing up in health and peace about him, what he -recollects of the war for the suppression of the rebellion, his answer -must be "nothing." He will say, "I was not born until after the war had -been on one year. I remember nothing about the war, as you call it, for -the suppression of the rebellion." - -Footnote 1: - - Written in 1887. - -If you ask the man of thirty years, in full business life, a leader of -society, the same question, his answer will be undoubtedly, "I remember -but little about the war; I was but four years old when the war broke -out. I remember sometime during the war seeing the soldiers, in their -blue coats and bright buttons and arms, as they marched along to the -station _to go to the front_, as they said. I remember hearing the -_drumbeat_, I recollect feeling the _heart-throb_, as I saw the flag -which they bore aloft. I was but nine years old when the war ended. I -remember that when the boys came back, battered and scarred, in their -dirty and faded uniforms, their flag in tatters, their faces bronzed and -burned by the southern sun, that of them that met them at the station -many wept, because so many that went away with them _returned not_." - -And so, to the majority of those to-night, the war is but a matter of -history and legend of story and of song. - -The recollections of those years from 1861 to 1865 are, in many minds, -as indelible as though graven on brass, or chiseled in marble. - -Those of you who have personal recollections, as well as those familiar -with the history of those times, will remember that the summer of 1863, -so far as the Army of the Cumberland was concerned, was spent (as was at -one time said of the Army of the Potomac) in "masterly inactivity;" and -although after the battle of Stone river the army occupied a line as far -south as Franklin and Murfreesboro, Tenn. And though the army, under the -now immortal Grant, had captured one entire rebel army, and had opened -the "Father of Waters," so long closed at Vicksburg; and though the -gallant Meade had met the invaders at Gettysburg and hurled him back, in -defeat and confusion, to his old lair beyond the Potomac, the Army of -the Cumberland, under General Rosecrans, as late as August had barely -gained the foothills of the Cumberland mountains. - -The Cumberland mountains run in a direction south of west and north of -east, and for most of the way are composed of two considerable ridges, -some two thousand feet above the valley of the Tennessee. These ridges -are broken at Chattanooga by the Tennessee river, and so bold and abrupt -is Lookout mountain on the south side of the river, that one can almost -conclude that some great convulsion of nature had reft it asunder from -its corresponding ridge on the north side. - -This chain of mountains, this deep and broad river, lay between our army -and that of the enemy when the march commenced southward in August, -1863. - -The corps to which my regiment was attached, the 21st, under General -Crittenden, and the 14th Corps, under General George H. Thomas, crossed -the mountains above Chattanooga, while General McCook's Corps, and the -Reserve Corps under General Gordon Granger, crossed at and below -Chattanooga. - -And while in the effort of crossing this great mountain range and river, -the right and left wings of the army must have been seventy-five miles -apart, and neither near enough to aid the other in case of an attack. I -am almost at a loss to know how the Army of the Cumberland was put south -of mountains and river; whether by the ability of Rosecrans, or the -stupidity of Bragg, the feat was accomplished. - -And while there was many a mountain defile that would have answered for -a modern Thermopylæ, happily for us the _three hundred Spartans_ seemed -to be wanting. - -The early part of August, 1863, found us encamped at Manchester, Tenn., -at or near the head waters of the Duck river after the close of the -Tullahoma campaign, if it is proper to call that a campaign, that was -simply a retreat on the part of the confederates, and pursuit on the -part of the federal forces. - -Manchester is situated on what is known as the table-lands of Tennessee, -and though high and supplied with the most delightful water, very many -of our men were sick by reason of the exposure on the campaign just -closed, and had to be sent back to hospitals or sent home on furlough, -which latter was very seldom done; and when accomplished costing great -pains and anxiety. If our national policy had been to furlough our -worthy sick, instead of sending them off to the inhospitable hospitals, -to be experimented upon by the graduates, fresh from our medical -colleges, to pine away with homesickness, be crowded together in great -numbers "into the wards of the whitewashed halls, where the dead and -dying lay," when a few days and weeks at home with its cheering -influences and home diet, _something mother could fix up_, would have -restored, without doubt, thousands of brave men to health and duty, that -by reason of the narrow, niggardly, treat-every-man-as-a-coward policy -of the government, went down to needless and untimely graves. - -I have read accounts of the neatly arranged graves of these men with the -beautiful marble headstones, furnished at the expense of the government, -in our great national cemeteries; but I never think of those great -armies of the dead but I think, _how many might have been saved_. Very -many of those headstones are more monuments to the lack of good sense on -the part of the government, than a noble and patriotic generosity. -Nearly all of our soldiers that died of disease in hospitals, could and -should have been sent home and saved. I remember very well it was never -any trouble to procure a leave of absence for a sick or wounded officer, -but to procure one for a poor private in the ranks was altogether a -different matter. - -It may not be out of place for me to give you a brief account of an -effort that I made to procure furloughs for three most worthy sick men, -while at Manchester, just before we started on the Chattanooga campaign. - -These men were afflicted with that terrible disease, that with the aid -of the government and its surgeons has slain its tens of thousands, -known as camp or chronic diarrhœa. I made out an application for -furloughs for these men, knowing full well that the time was very brief, -that we must leave these brave men to the care of entire strangers—men -that did hospital duty, as they did any other, because they were ordered -to; and knowing full well that, in all human probability, they would -never return to the regiment if they were sent to the hospital, I -determined to make a great effort to save them. I procured a very -earnest indorsement from our regimental surgeon, Major Dewitt C. -Patterson, than whom a more competent or kinder hearted surgeon never -had the health of a regiment in charge, also the very favorable -indorsement of our colonel; but he refused to give me leave to carry the -application to brigade headquarters, for good reasons, no doubt, as he -informed me that the application must go through the regular channel. I -told him "the application might get back in time to attend the funeral, -but never to do these men any good." I immediately went to the -headquarters of the brigade commandant; he examined carefully the -application, wanted to know the urgency of the matter, and after I had -explained to him all I could, and after I had urged everything I could -think of that I thought would help the case of the sick men, he coolly -took the application from my hands, indorsed it "disallowed," and -ordered me to my regiment, saying, "we are not granting furloughs on the -eve of starting on a campaign." - -I was somewhat disheartened, but not altogether discouraged. I -immediately repaired to General Palmer's headquarters, who commanded the -division. The general treated me with great politeness, heard all I had -to say, and then informed me that no furloughs were being granted; said -"he would excuse me for bringing up the application without leave," -kindly ordered me to my regiment, and advised me "give up the -enterprise, if I wished to save myself from the disgrace of a court- -martial," which, as we soldiers all know, is a _court organized to -convict_. - -I then turned my steps toward the headquarters of General Crittenden, -commanding our corps; he treated me with great brusqueness, not only -refusing the indorsement I so much desired, but severely censured me for -not sending the application through the regular channel. He gave me the -usual complimental (?) order, "Immediately repair to your regiment, -sir!" I was "cast down, but not destroyed;" I had just one ground of -hope left me, and that was centered in "Old Pap Thomas." - -These various headquarters that I had visited were all situated at or -near Manchester, and I applied to them all the same day; but the -headquarters of General Thomas was at Winchester, more than sixty miles -from our camp. The point now was how to get to Winchester? I went to the -colonel and applied for a pass for that place, which, luckily for my -purpose, he granted me without asking me what I wanted it for. We had a -train down in the morning and back at night; so the next morning, armed -with my pass and my badly _disallowed_ application in my pocket, I took -the train for Winchester. With my heart away up in my thorax, I -approached the headquarters of the old general. I was compelled to wait -a long time, it seemed to me, to obtain an interview with him; he -received me very gravely, yet kindly, and carefully listened to all I -had to say; he wanted to know "if the men would be able to go home if -the furlough should be granted?" I insisted they would if granted -immediately, and that must be my excuse for not sending the application -through the regular channel. I urged upon the general the fact that so -many of our men were dying in the hospitals of that terrible disease. -The old iron-faced general turned to a member of his staff that was at a -table writing and told him to indorse the application _allowed_. I then -asked the general if he would indorse on the same, leave for me to take -it in person to General Rosecrans. This he most cheerfully did, and -General Rosecrans issued the furloughs without another word of -explanation. - -[Illustration: - - _ADJUTANT SHERBURN B. EATON._ -] - -The next morning the sick boys were taken to the train, and started for -Ohio. In sixty days two of them returned for duty, were in every battle -of the regiment, and were honorably discharged. The other was discharged -for disability. One of them, after the war, made himself a home in -California, the other I meet often, but I never see him but I think how -much he owes to that noble "Old Pap Thomas." - -In a few days after we were ordered to get ready to march, and the first -day brought us to a beautiful mountain river, on the banks of which we -went into camp, near a small quaker village called Irvingville, I think. -The next morning we had to ford the river, which was cold and in some -places quite deep. This brought us to the first range of the Cumberland -mountains. Our regiment was detailed to assist the wagon train up the -steep mountain road, which duty occupied our attention the greater part -of the day. That night we encamped on the mountain, and enjoyed a most -refreshing sleep in the cool invigorating mountain air. The next day we -marched down off from this ridge into the Sequatchie valley. This valley -is some mile or more, perhaps, in width and runs down to Chattanooga, -and we entered it some six or eight miles from its head. Through this -valley runs a pure cold stream of water—a thing always prized by an army -or camping party. - -We also found here plenty of corn—just at the roasting-ear period of -maturity; and it would surprise you farmers to see how soon a ten-acre -field of green corn would be used up by an army. But how did the boys -prepare it so as to make it good and wholesome? Of course, it could be -roasted on the ear, but that was too slow a process. By this time, in -our experience as soldiers, we had divided into messes of about four. -One would carry a small tin pail or kettle, holding about four quarts; -another would carry a small frying pan; the third would carry a -coffeepot (without which the rebellion could not have been put down); -while the fourth would carry some other article necessary to the -culinary art. The commissary supplied us with salt pork or bacon, and -also with salt and pepper. Now the culinary process is this: the corn is -gathered and carefully silked, then with a sharp knife (and every -soldier was supposed to have one—or if left lying about loose) the corn -was shaven from the cob, put into the frying pan with a slice of pork or -bacon, and cooked until tender; add salt and pepper to suit taste, and -you have a dish good enough to set before a union soldier—and too good -for a king. - -We remained in this beautiful valley until the corn was all used up; and -one would be surprised to see how it helped out our rations. One other -notable thing about this green-corn diet—some of our men that were sick, -but dreaded to be sent back to hospital and had kept along with us as -best they could, were entirely cured by this change of diet. It was the -vegetable food that did the good work for them. I have known green -apples, that are always supposed to be harmful to a well person, help a -sick soldier. - -One could not help thinking, what was to become of these poor people of -this valley, whose only means of support we had eaten up and destroyed; -but war is merciless, "war is hell," as General Sherman said. - -When we broke up our camp we pushed straight for Waldron's ridge lying -directly in front of us. We found the ascent of this ridge much more -difficult than that of the other had been, but finally we reached the -top of the mountain. It was very singular to find here a country with -all the characteristics of level or table-land—lying more than two -thousand feet above the country we had left behind us, or the valley of -the river beyond. The next day we resumed the march, and in the -afternoon began the descent into the valley of the Tennessee. - -The road down the mountain was the worst, by far, that we had -encountered. In some places the road lay over ledges of rocks that were -four feet directly down; and many wagons were broken, as well as axles -of cannons and caissons. I suppose, to this day, there could be found -evidences of that fearful descent, in the wreck of government property -lying along that mountain road. - -The valley of the Tennessee at last reached, we went into camp at Poe's -tavern, and remained there some three weeks, spending the most of our -time in foraging for our animals, as well as ourselves. - -In this locality there is one of the greatest curiosities it was ever my -privilege to behold. It consists of a lake or pond on the top of the -ridge we last came down. Directly to the west of where we were encamped, -the ridge breaks off into palisades, some five hundred feet in height. -Hearing of this curious lake from some of the natives, a party of us set -out one day to explore it. We were compelled to go up the ridge by the -same road we had come down, which took us some distance to the northward -of the place where we had been informed the lake was located. At last -our efforts were rewarded by finding the place. The lake is almost a -circle of about six hundred feet in diameter; on one side the rocks had -fallen down on an angle of about forty-five degrees, making it possible -to descend into this terrible looking place. Once down to the water's -edge one could look up the perpendicular sides of this walled-in lake -for three hundred feet. It looks as though at some time the rocks had -sunken down into the great cave beneath, and left this basin which -filled with water from the springs of the mountains. One of the most -curious features of this curious basin is that the water has a rise and -fall of fifteen feet, at regular intervals. The water was as clear as -"mountain dew," and some of our party, on going in to swim, thought they -could dive out of sight; but no effort of a swimmer that could go down -eighteen feet, seemed to make any difference with his visibility. The -natives looked upon this place with great awe, and gave it the fearful -name of "Devil's Washbowl." - -We had not been at this camp many days before the mystery of the rising -and falling of the water in the bowl was fully explained. About a half -mile below our camp was a large spring from which some of our brigade -got water; on going there for water one day a soldier found the spring -had failed, and so reported. In a few days thereafter another soldier -went for water, and found the spring flowing as bountifully as when -first discovered. An investigation showed that when the spring ceased to -flow, the water in the bowl began to rise, and when the water in the -spring began to run, the water in the bowl began to fall. And so it -turned out to be an intermitting spring, the philosophy of which every -schoolboy that hears me to-night is familiar; and the devil lost the -most of his reputation in that locality. - -We made quite a long stop at this camp, but at last the order to march -came; we went directly down the west bank of the river for about twenty -miles, and went into camp for the night; the next morning we marched out -to the river, and were informed that we must ford the same. - -The Tennessee, where we were required to ford it, was a little less than -a mile in width, and in some places quite swift. We were ordered to -remove our clothing, but the order was regarded more advisory than -imperative; and while some did their clothing up in neat bundles and -bore them on their bayonets, others kept theirs on and trusted to the -warmth of their bodies to dry them on the other side. - -We started in four ranks, the usual marching order; we got on very well -until we came to the deep and rapid portion of the river, when some of -our short men became very apprehensive, and I remember we had to keep -hold of hands to prevent the current from carrying us down the stream; -while we had to take our shortest men on our shoulders to keep their -heads above water. It is a sight never to be forgotten to see a mile of -men in the water. After having gained the east bank in safety we spent -the time in watching the others come across, or in drying our water -soaked garments. It was amusing to see the little short fellows ford; -they would come along with great bravery until they came to the deep -water, when you could see them holding their heads away back; now and -then one would go all under, and you would see him climbing some fellow -that nature had provided with a longer pair of running-gears; but -finally all crossed in safety, and no sickness followed this enforced -baptism. - -We went into camp that afternoon near the river; and the next morning -took up the march in the direction of Ringgold, Ga. Here we found, as a -rule, the people had abandoned their homes and gone south, leaving them -to be pillaged by thoughtless or criminally inclined soldiers. On this -day's march I saw an instance of the propensity of some men to steal -that was about as amusing as it was disgusting. As I was marching at the -head of my company I heard a great clattering, and on looking back I saw -a soldier coming with a great load on his back done up in a piece of -shelter tent, which on a nearer inspection proved to be a set of dishes; -there were tureens, bowls, plates, pitchers, platters, and in fact -everything known to a well regulated set of dishes. The fellow marched -on with great composure amid the derisive shouts of his comrades that he -passed; and probably that night ate his hard-tack off southern china. - -That night we went into camp near a branch of the Chickamauga river, and -the next day marched into Ringgold. This village, named in honor of -Major Ringgold, that fell at the battle of Buena Vista, was a town of -about two thousand people at that time, I should think, when at home, -beautifully located at the foot of the White Oak mountains; but very few -of its people remained there, and the town was a very sorry looking -place, though built mostly of brick, and in much better taste than most -of the southern towns that we had seen. - -[Illustration: - - _SERGEANT MAJOR JOHN S. NIMMONS._ -] - -Here I saw the first exhibition of the extreme spitefulness of the -southern woman. Our camp was close to quite a fine looking residence, -and seeing a collection of soldiers about there, I thought I would step -over and see what was going on. In the doorway stood a good looking, -decent appearing lady, and another was just inside of the door. The -first one spoke to the crowd of soldiers (that looked as though calico -was worth a dollar a yard), and said, "I suppose yuans all came down -here to rob weuns of our land." Some one denied the accusation, and, -with the most intense bitterness depicted in every feature, she added, -"Weuns are perfectly willin' to give yuans all land 'nough to bury yuans -on, and we reckon yuans will need consid'able befo yuans git out heyer." -I am sorry to say that some of the boys that laughed at the display of -provincialism and spite on the part of the rebel lady, were compelled to -take up with her offer a few days thereafter. - -Here we found quite a lively skirmish going on between Wilder's mounted -infantry and some confederate cavalry, out toward Dalton. - -We remained here a few days and then moved over to the locality of Lee & -Gordon's mills, and the eighteenth day of September found us encamped on -the Chickamauga river, some sixteen miles south of Chattanooga. - -The Chickamauga is a small river that puts into the Tennessee a few -miles above Chattanooga; at most places fordable in low water, but at -some points, owing to the limestone formation, dropping into pools, deep -and cavernous. The Indians named the little stream Chickamauga, and as -they interpret, the word means "dead man's river;" if the name was -intended to be prophetic, how terribly was it fulfilled the nineteenth -and twentieth days of September, 1863. - -All day the eighteenth the south bank of the stream was held by the -skirmish line of the enemy; and I remember it was quite a novel and -exciting scene to witness the belching of the smoke and flame from the -muskets of the skirmishers, while now and then the whizzing of the stray -bullet, admonished us that even off duty our position was not one of -absolute safety and repose. All that day "the grapevine telegraph" was -working in fine shape. The camp was alive with rumors that McCook's -Corps had not yet effected the crossing of the mountains; that Bragg had -been reinforced by Longstreet from the army of northern Virginia (this -was true), and it was the purpose of the confederate commander to -destroy the 14th and 21st Corps before a junction could be made with -McCook, and before the Reserve Corps under Granger could come within -reinforcing distance. - -The sun had just hid his face behind the rocky sides of the Lookout when -the order was given to "strike tents," and each regiment was quietly but -speedily formed in marching order, and all that night long we marched to -the right, to be nearer McCook when the time should come when the foe, -long followed and hunted, should hunt us in return. - -Any one who has not had the experience cannot have any notion of the -absolutely disgusting weariness of a night march in the presence of the -enemy. To march in column, day or night, is much more fatiguing than to -march singly; but on this terrible night, I remember, the dust was shoe -mouth deep, and it came up filling our nostrils with dirt and our souls -with indignation. Happy, then, was he that had some phrases, unknown to -the ordinary soldier, with which he could give vent to his disgust. If -it is true "that hope keeps the heart from breaking," I have often had -the reflection that "there are moments—this was one of them," when the -strong expressions used by the union soldier kept him from desertion. -Then the halting to let a battery of artillery pass or a train of -baggage wagons, while we were standing or being led into the darkness, -in a kind of military blind man's buff, without any of the merry -incidents of that childish game of the long ago. - -At last the morning of the nineteenth of September, 1863, dawned on -thousands of that grand old army for the last time. Inexperienced as we -of the 124th O. V. I. were at this time, we knew that we should soon be -struggling in the shock and carnage of battle. That the time for our -first baptism of blood and fire was fast approaching. The blare of the -bugles on every hand told that the work of preparation for that struggle -that was to be one that was to save the army from annihilation, was soon -to begin. - -We pulled out of the old road that leads from Lee & Gordon's mills on -the Chickamauga, to Chattanooga, and halted and made coffee and were -soon partaking of "the soldier's banquet," not a very elaborate bill of -fare, but relished by those tired and dusty soldiers, notwithstanding -the preparations for battle going on around us. - -I remember a little colloquy that took place between our colonel and -General Palmer that morning, while we were breakfasting that illustrates -how lightly soldiers can talk about going into battle, no matter how -they may feel. Our colonel said, "general, there's going to be a dance -down there this morning, is there not?" "Yes," replied the general, "and -in less than an hour your regiment will get an invitation to attend it." - -[Illustration: - - _COLOR-BEARER SERGEANT LLOYD A. MARSH._ -] - -The country where the battle was fought was largely woods, now and then -broken by what in southern parlance is called a "deadening," which -simply means that the timber has been killed by girdling, and the ground -subjected to the mode of cultivation of slave times in the South. Some -portions of the country are quite level, and then breaking into bluffs, -as one leaves the river and approaches the foothills of the mountains. -Fisher Ames said, "nobody sees a battle," and it is literally true. -While Ames had reference to the great battles of the East that were -invariably fought on open plains, how certain the statement is when -thick woods and hills intervene along the battle line, which in this -case, extended for more than seven miles from right to left. - -Soon the bugle sounded the "assembly" and our brigade commanded by the -late lamented General H. B. Hazen, filed out into the Chattanooga road. -We had not moved more than half a mile to the left, and down the road, -when we came to an old partially cleared field and deadening, halted, -marched into this field and formed into "double column at half -distance," which every soldier knows is the last position before the -line of battle is formed. Soon one regiment after another took its place -in the line, and all was ready for the advance into the woods in our -front where we knew from the skirmishing that had been going on all the -morning, that the enemy's line of battle was extending itself, with the -evident intention of getting between our left and Chattanooga. As I have -before said, this battle was the first time our regiment had been under -fire, though the other regiments of which our brigade was composed had -done good service at Perryville and Stone river. - -I suppose there are plenty of men, that can get ready, and go into a -battle without fear or wavering, but for my part, my recollection of -that momentous event, is somewhat like another's, who describes his -condition on a certain occasion as, "whether in the body, I cannot tell, -or whether out of the body, I cannot tell; God knoweth." - -But the order to move forward came at last and we moved into the pine -and oak woods in our front. We had moved but a few yards into the woods, -when the enemy opened fire and two of my men were wounded at the first -discharge. I was then in command of company B 124th O. V. I., composed -of my schoolmates and scholars, the most of them farmers' sons that knew -the use of the rifle; and but very few but that had a larger share of -_courage_ than their commanding officer. - -I was ordered to deploy my company, as skirmishers to cover the -regiment, and moved to the front. This movement was executed under fire -and not in very good style. The regimental bugle still sounded the -_forward_, until my skirmish line was within three hundred feet of the -confederate line of battle. My line now attracted the attention of the -enemy, and drew his fire exclusively. A six gun battery was run up to -the line, and in less time than I can now tell it, my farmer boys had -shot down every horse and not one of the gunners could approach a gun. - -At this time I saw the first man of our regiment killed, Corporal -Atkins. He was a tall, finely formed man, a farmer and school-teacher by -occupation; an abolitionist, he hated slavery, and consequently the -slaveholders' rebellion; and many a time around the mirthful campfire -had he been the object of the friendly raillery of his comrades, by -reason of his fiery sentiments of hatred of that giant wrong; and -sometimes it was hinted in his hearing, "the best fighters are not as a -rule, the best talkers." I can see him now as he stands at my right -behind the sheltering trunk of a large pine loading and firing, in that -storm of bullets, as calmly as though not at death's carnival. I see the -blood flowing from his left shoulder, I say, "William, you are badly -wounded; go to the rear." Putting his hand up to his wounded shoulder, -and extending his left arm says, "see captain, I am not much hurt, I -want to give them another." He draws another cartridge from his box, -springs his rammer, runs the cartridge half down—a bullet from the enemy -pierces that brave heart, and I see him fall on his face—dead. So -perished one of those brave sons that fought _for a great principle_, -which was the soul of the union army. By the fortunes of the field, we -were compelled to leave him there "unknelled, uncoffined and unknown," -buried, if at all, by the careless enemy. But if there is a future where -the deeds of the brave and true are rewarded, William Atkins will be one -of the brightest stars in the galaxy of immortal life. But I must hasten -with my story or I weary you, as that day wearied us. - -The skirmish line alone of our regiment was engaged. The line of battle -could not fire for fear of injury to our line, while our line was so far -advanced that the enemy's fire enfiladed us; trees, the ordinary cover -of skirmishers, were no protection whatever. Our colonel ordered us to -lie down and our main line opened fire over us, and it was difficult to -tell from which we suffered most, the fire of the enemy, or the bad -marksmanship of the line in the rear. Finally, those of us that had not -been killed and wounded, fell back on the line of battle and fought with -that line, and thus the day wore away. - -[Illustration: - - _CORPORAL WILLIAM ATKINS._ - - _The first man of the 124th O. V. I. killed. "See Captain, I am not - much hurt, I want to give them another." Page 58._ -] - -In the afternoon, sometime, the order was sent around to be saving of -our ammunition as no more could be had at present, and if the -confederates charged we must rely upon the bayonet. - -About four o'clock in the afternoon, we heard the commands of officers -in our rear, and turning in that direction, we saw the blue of our lines -over the old field coming to our relief. It was General Johnson's -division of McCook's Corps. They are formed in column by regimental -front, at a distance of about two hundred yards between regiments. The -first regiment at double-quick rushes through and past our broken and -decimated ranks, not stopping until they come close to the confederate -line; then halting abruptly, deliver a well directed volley in the face -of the enemy, fall and reload, while the next regiment rushes over them -only to repeat what those had done who had gone before. It would be -almost idle to add that the confederates were compelled to fall back -though composed of the flower of the army of northern Virginia. No men -no matter how brave, could stand outside of works the deadly impetuosity -of such a charge. - -I had seen many noble looking men before; I have seen many since, but -have never seen any such men in appearance, as composed that charging -column that relieved us that dismal afternoon at Chickamauga. Had every -division of the Army of the Cumberland been handled and fought as -General Johnson's division was that afternoon, the historian would write -Chickamauga a victory, instead of a defeat. - -After this charge, in which General Johnson drove Longstreet's line back -to and across the river nearly a mile and a half from where we had -engaged him, we had time to look after our wounded men. I received -permission to go out to the place where we had fought on the skirmish -line. Seeing that all the wounded men were carefully removed to the -rear, I hastened back to join my company. If I was filled with terror on -going into the battle, I was doubly so now. To be lost from one's -command in time of action is hard to explain, and a situation for which, -among soldiers, there is ever exercised very little charity. I inquired -of some wounded men the direction my regiment had taken, and hurrying -on, fear lending wings to speed, I halted near a log cabin in a small -opening where a six gun battery stood, and to the guns of which the men -were attaching long ropes known as prolongs. I soon came upon my company -and regiment lying flat on the ground, and evidently waiting orders. I -took my position in the company, thankful that the regiment had not been -engaged in my absence. In our immediate front all was still. The ground -ascended in a gentle elevation, thickly covered with brush but here and -there a tree. All at once there arose one of those terrible yells that -only a mass of rebels could produce, and on looking to the front, I saw -coming down the hill a solid mass of confederate infantry; their stars -and bars flaunting gaily, as the color-bearers came dancing on. All at -once the right of our line began falling back without firing a shot, -until all had commenced retiring to the right of our company. I was -chagrined at what seemed an ignoble retreat, leaving the battery I had -passed to certain capture. The rebels had began firing, but seemed to -fire far above us, as the leaves and small branches of the trees fell -thickly about us. As they came nearer, their marksmanship seemed to -improve, and several of my men were wounded, among the number was -Lieutenant Charles M. Stedman, who, though badly wounded in the -shoulder, refused to leave the company until the battle was over. He -afterward laid his young life on the altar of his country at the battle -of New Hope Church, May 27th, 1864. He was one of the very few -_absolutely_ brave men, I ever knew. I turned to watch the advancing -rebel hosts and to see what would become of the battery when their six -guns opened one after another in rapid succession, and I saw lanes and -alleys open in the solid ranks of confederate gray. This was repeated as -rapidly as the guns could be worked and never an over-charged -thundercloud seemed to strike more rapidly, than that grand old United -States battery poured its double-shotted canisters at half distance into -the now panic-stricken and flying rebel horde. - -A lone battery with no infantry support on its left, with the infantry -support on its right, for, to me, some unaccountable reason, retreating -without firing a shot, fighting and repelling an entire brigade of -confederate infantry. I never saw it repeated. I never heard of its -being repeated in all of my experience in the war, thereafter. I don't -know what battery it was, I never could find out with any certainty, but -better work was never done by any of those brave men that worship their -brazen guns more than did ever heathen devotee the molten image he calls -his God. - -I saw Colonel Beebe of General Hazen's staff after this eventful day, -and he informed me that his duties called him over this portion of the -field, and it was with difficulty he rode his horse among the dead. - -Not thicker do lie the ripened sheaves in the harvest field, where -nature has been most generous, than did the confederate dead on that -lone hillside. - -That night we marched to a new position and went into bivouac in line of -battle. The night was cold and frosty, and as we were not permitted to -have much fire and had left our knapsacks behind, we suffered from the -cold; but "tired nature's sweet restorer" overcame all difficulties, and -we lay down and slept among the dead as sweetly as though we had been -bidden "good-night" in our own northern homes. - -Thus ended the nineteenth day of September, 1863, and something of what -I recollect of the campaign of Chattanooga and the first day's battle of -Chickamauga. - -Sunday morning, September 20th, dawned cold and cheerless on the waiting -armies. The line had been reformed in the following order: - -The 14th Corps occupied the extreme left, then came our corps, the 21st, -with McCook on the right and the Reserve Corps not yet up. All felt that -this Sabbath day would decide the fate of the army, as well as determine -the result of the campaign, for good or ill, to the cause of the Union. -Early in the morning we were ordered to construct such works along our -line as the material at hand would admit of, for at that time in the war -we had not learned the value of the pick and shovel. It is wonderful -what men can do when in extremity, or when their own safety or that of -the cause for which they battle, requires the exercise of ingenuity or -industry. Soon old logs, fence rails and everything else that could stop -a bullet, were being brought to the line. And by eight o'clock a line of -works was constructed that, while not any defense against artillery, -furnished quite a sufficient protection against small arms. My company -was again ordered out as skirmishers into the woods in front of the -brigade. We had not been on the line more than an hour when the rebels -advanced their line of skirmishers, and the firing began. - -My orders were to keep the line well out, and to retire only on the line -of battle when the enemy advanced in force. It was soon evident to all -that the rebels designed to force the fighting for we could see his -charging lines rapidly advancing. We then fell back to our line of log -and rail works, and in doing so had to run the gauntlet of the fire of -excitable men of our line that could not be controlled. - -Once over the works, and in position in the line, we had not long to -wait for the onset. The eagerness of the enemy in following the -skirmishers soon brought them into rifle range. Our Colonel Payne had -been very severely wounded early the day before, and the command of the -regiment devolved upon Major James B. Hampson, who afterwards gave his -life to his country at Dallas, Ga. With the coolness and bearing of an -old veteran he ordered our regiment to hold its fire until the rebels -were within close range of our works, then, all at once, we arose and -poured a well-aimed volley into their ranks. The 41st O. V. I., directly -in our rear and forming a second line, then gave them a volley and their -charge was ended. Three times that morning the enemy charged our -position, only to be beaten back in disorder and confusion. - -About this time occurred that terrible mistake in the battle that caused -the panic and rout of a portion of McCook's Corps, and which carried our -commanding general out of the fight and back to Chattanooga, leaving -General Thomas to fight the battle alone. It was here that General -Thomas received the title of the "Rock of Chickamauga;" and it was from -this field that General Rosecrans was retired—never to be heard from -again during the war. - -About eleven o'clock a. m. the confederates commenced a most determined -onset on the 14th Corps at our left. It soon became evident that the -enemy was gaining ground, as the firing came nearer and nearer, and the -left kept falling back until the cannon shot from the enemy cut the -limbs from the trees above us, and we expected every moment to hear the -order "change front to rear." The corps to our left had fallen back to -nearly at right angles with our line, and we could plainly see the -wounded men being borne back or slowly straggling to the rear. There are -times in the life of almost anyone when the circumstances with which he -is surrounded are burned into his memory as though graven with a pen of -fire. So on this occasion, although the enemy had been badly beaten in -our front, we saw our line of battle momentarily crumbling away on our -left. Visions of Libby, Salisbury and Andersonville came before us, and -it did seem as though our fate was destruction or captivity. While -intensely watching the progress of the battle on our left, all at once -we saw the front of a column of men coming on the double-quick out of -the woods in our rear. They advance nearly up to our position, they -halt, and face to the left. We saw an officer on a white horse ride up -to a color bearer. He takes the standard out of his hand, and with the -grand old stars and stripes in one hand, his sword in the other, he -gallops to the front; the ranks of blue follow fast their intrepid -leader. Then was battle on in all the grandeur of its pomp and -circumstance. No one single musket could be heard, but as some vast -storm that comes sweeping on from the northwest with a roar that is -appallingly sublime, mingled the volleys of the contending hosts, while -the salvos of the artillery cause the earth to tremble as in the throes -of an earthquake. Our line swings back, like a gate on its hinges, to -its former position. But where is that glorious spirit that led that -gallant charge that has saved us from capture and our army from certain -defeat? An orderly is seen leading back the white horse "that carried -his master into the fray," but no rider is there. "Wounded, but not -mortally" is the word that is passed from lip to lip. And that brave -Polish officer, General Turchin, still lives to receive the thanks and -honors of his adopted countrymen. This was the same officer that -rebelled against the old world tyranny and, in 1848, with Sigel, -Willich, Schurz, Austerhause and many others, fought for liberty in the -fatherland until fighting was hopeless; and for the liberty they could -never win in their country came to ours; but, strange to say, not one of -them ever drew his sword in the cause of the slaveholder's rebellion. -Very many of them, as some one has truly said, "wrote their -naturalization papers in their blood." - -About two o'clock p. m. our brigade was relieved from the line where we -had fought in the morning, and held in reserve, ready to be taken to any -point on the line where our services might be most needed. The enemy, by -the mistake that I have referred to before, had driven a portion of -McCook's Corps from the field and entirely out of the battle, and had -extended its left so far to the rear as to cut us off from a large -spring that had furnished us with water the day before. From the time of -this calamity in the morning we had no water, and the air was thick with -the sulphurous smoke that created an intense thirst. The men were -clamoring and insisting that someone should go for water. There was one -member of our company, George Benton, that by his kindness of heart, and -implicit and cheerful obedience to orders, had won the respect and -confidence of his officers and the hearts of his fellow soldiers. In -speech, modest and kindly, yet in the battle he had shown himself as -brave as the bravest. George came to me loaded down with canteens, and -asked permission to go to the rear and try to find water. I, with some -emphasis, refused. The men at that set up a clamor, and insisted that -they were suffering for want of water. I explained the hazardous nature -of the enterprise. I assured them from the firing that our right was -well turned, and that anyone going back, alone and unattended, was -liable to be killed, wounded, or _captured_, which all dreaded more than -death or wounds by reason of the inhuman treatment our soldiers received -while in rebel prisons. I said to George, "I am afraid you will never -come back." With a smile of determination lighting up that noble young -face, he replied, "I will come back, captain, or I will be a dead -Benton." I was not quite strong enough for the emergency. I made a -mistake. That mistake cost George Benton his life. He never returned. -Whether he fell by a stray bullet, in those deep woods and thickets, or -whether he was captured and murdered in prison, I know not. The records -of Salisbury and Andersonville were searched, after the war, but on none -could the name of George Benton be found. After we had fallen back on -Chattanooga letters came from his father and sisters, inquiring -concerning the fate of son and brother. No one can know with what -bitterness I reproached myself for allowing myself to be persuaded -against my better judgment; and learning by that sad lesson—no member of -company B was ever again reported "missing in action." I saw the father -and sisters when we came back from the war, and told them what I had -already written them before of the way George was lost; but "hope, like -an anchor to the soul, sure and steadfast," would not suffer them to -give up their dear boy as lost. They hoped that some day, like a lost -mariner, he would come from perhaps captivity and sickness, to gladden -their hearts and relieve the suspense that was crushing their lives. But -twenty-seven autumns have returned since that brave boy was lost to -sight in the smoke that covered that dread field of Chickamauga, but no -tidings ever came of that one, who was gladly willing to risk his life -to alleviate the sufferings of his comrades, and was permitted to do so -by the weakness of his commanding officer. - -At about four o'clock p. m. our attention was drawn to the heavy firing -on our extreme right, and we conjectured that our Reserve Corps was -being brought into action. It proved to be true. General Granger came up -and with his corps that had known but little, if anything, of the -disasters of the day, charged the enemy with the force and effect of -victors. - -But it seemed it was not the purpose of General Thomas to contend for -the field of battle, and to General Granger's Corps was assigned the -duty of covering the retreat of the balance of the army. - -It was Wellington (whom his comrades loved to call the "Iron Duke") that -said at the battle of Waterloo, "would that sundown or Blücher had -come." And never did sundown hang his somber curtain over a more -grateful body of men than those that remained of the Army of the -Cumberland. Just as the sun began to cast the long shadows to the -eastward our brigade was retired to the west for about half a mile, -still in order of battle; but any one could discern that a general -retreat was to be commenced as soon as the friendly darkness should -cover us from the view of the enemy. While in this position we heard -cheers from what seemed to be a great body of men, and the rumor was at -once out that General Burnside had reinforced us from Knoxville. We -answered the cheers as heartily as our tired bodies and depressed -spirits would permit, and the sky was ablaze with the rockets that shot -up from the direction from which we had heard the cheering. Mendenhall's -battery of Rodman guns was at that time just in our front. He ordered -his men to load with canister, and then I heard him remark "that is the -last round of ammunition this battery has." - -Some one out toward the skirmish line heard the order "Ninth Louisiana, -forward, double-quick, march," and pretty effectually dispelled the -delusion that the cheering and rocket party were our friends under -General Burnside. It was now quite dark, and tired, depressed and -supperless, we commenced the march that meant that the battlefield, with -all its treasures of our dead heroes, was to be abandoned to the tender -mercies of an enemy that looked upon us as invaders and destroyers of -their rights and liberties. It was, indeed, a sad hour. Two days before -we had gone into this conflict with full ranks and high hopes of -victory. Now we were "silently stealing away" under cover of the -darkness, like dastardly assassins, when, in fact, we were there in the -holy cause of liberty for all men, and for the union of the states as -against rebellion and treason. We were leaving our beloved dead, -uncomposed, unburied, with nothing to mark the spot where they fell, -with no place of sepulture, with no requiem, save the soughing of the -south wind through the banners of the majestic pines, or the nightly -songs of the sweet voiced southern mocking bird. - - "We carved not a line, we raised not a stone, - But we left them alone in their glory." - -We drew away into the defiles of the hills, and the glad sound of the -splashing of the horses' hoofs in the little streams that trickled from -the hillsides, then the scraping of the tin cups could be heard (the -efforts of the boys to get a drink of the muddy hoof-trodden water); but -straining it through the teeth, no nectar quaffed by the fabled gods of -old ever tasted so refreshing as did that grand beverage of nature to -those battle-stained soldiers that night. - -Of the route we marched that night I never had the least information; -but when the sun arose over the mountains of North Carolina, the twenty- -first day of September, it looked down upon the old army in order of -battle on the summit of Missionary Ridge. All day we kept this position, -but the confederates wanted no more fighting on this occasion, and, you -can believe me, _they had my entire sympathies_. - -Some have said that both armies retreated from the field of battle, and -had our army stayed on the field the night of the twentieth, no -confederate army would have confronted it on the morning of the twenty- -first. But this story, though I am told it has gone into history, I -never believed to be true. In the first place, the confederate general, -Bragg, had, when the campaign commenced, an army nearly equal in numbers -to our own, with no rear to take care of and guard. Secondly, after he -crossed the mountains he was reinforced by General Longstreet's Corps -from the army of northern Virginia. And, thirdly, he had at his command -(but not called into the battle to any extent) a large force of Georgia -state militia. - -Then again, the second day of the battle McCook's Corps was largely cut -to pieces and destroyed for fighting business. The 14th and 21st Corps -were badly cut up in the two days fighting, and at the close of the -second day almost destitute of ammunition. And finally, there was the -movement of men before sundown to inform that _we_ were abandoning the -field. So it never seemed credible that the confederates were retreating -the night of the twentieth as well as ourselves. - -The night of the twenty-first we fell back and entrenched a position -just outside of the then small village of Chattanooga. The victorious -confederates occupied the whole extent of Missionary Ridge, and soon -appeared in force on the summit of Lookout. - -So I have given you, in great weakness and imperfection, some of my -recollections of the memorable campaign of Chattanooga and the battle of -Chickamauga. I have read no book or history giving an account of the -campaign and battle. Being simply an officer in the line my chances for -observation were very limited, and very many of my conclusions are, -_without doubt, inaccurate_. The plans of a battle, always an -interesting feature of history, I have, as a matter of course, been -compelled to omit. - -[Illustration: - - _PRIVATE GEORGE BENTON._ - - "_I will come back or I will be a dead Benton._" _Page 69._ -] - -But if this unworthy effort has revived patriotic memories in the minds -of those of you who can remember the war, or revived the recollections -of my old comrades in arms, or given some faint idea to those that have -come after us of what was attempted and suffered by those that strove -"to keep our flag in the sky" in all those dark years, I have been amply -rewarded for the attempt. - -Chickamauga was in one sense a battle lost; but by it we won the -campaign, and from the ground beyond the mountains and beyond the river -that we had crossed, the invincible Sherman led his victorious legions -into and through the very vitals of the confederacy. - -It was one of those grand struggles between brave men that has marked -the progress of liberty and right in all ages; that has cemented us -firmly in the bonds of UNITY and FRATERNITY and made us in arms -invincible as against the world.[2] - -Footnote 2: - - First delivered before the River Styx Literary Society, March 12th, - 1887. - - - - - THE SIEGE OF CHATTANOOGA, THE BATTLE OF LOOKOUT - MOUNTAIN, AND THE STORMING OF - MISSIONARY RIDGE. - - -The battle of the nineteenth and twentieth of September, 1863, had -resulted in disaster instead of victory. The Army of the Cumberland had -been forced to retire, to abandon Missionary Ridge, and to fortify a -line running through the outskirts of the village of Chattanooga from -Cameron Hill, near the river below to the river above. - -The victorious rebels came on and took possession of the entire length -of Missionary Ridge, fortifying the same with strong parapets of earth, -while one hundred pieces of artillery soon found position on the Ridge -from right to left. - -General Bragg also took possession of Lookout mountain, and planted some -very heavy guns near the summit, just above the palisades. I never knew -why those guns did not render our position around Chattanooga entirely -untenable, unless it was the poor quality of the guns or lack of -ammunition. All the execution that I ever heard of those guns doing was -to kill a mule that would have died of starvation later on. Those -hundred-pounders that were planted on the summit of Lookout were, for -some reason, only fired a few times, and not for weeks prior to the time -the siege was raised. - -Never in the history of the Army of the Cumberland had the spirit of its -officers and men been more depressed. The battle of Chickamauga had not -only been fought and lost, but we also lost what was more than losing a -battle. We had lost confidence in our commander. - -And I think when the order came relieving General Rosecrans and placing -General Grant in command of the Army of the Cumberland, there were few -regrets expressed, even among those that had theretofore given General -Rosecrans the title of "Hero of Stone River." But, in my humble -judgment, one thing, and one thing only, saved the Army of the -Cumberland. If General Rosecrans had shown himself incompetent to -command the army at the battle of Chickamauga, the rebel general, Bragg, -was possessed of a stupidity that more than overbalanced the -incompetency of Rosecrans. - -Just for one moment view our situation. Almost surrounded. No railroad -communications over which to supply rations or ammunition. No -transportation whatever, save one wagon road over Raccoon mountain, and -that so exposed in places to the rebel sharpshooters that the teamsters -(though in a sense noncombatants) were constantly exposed to the fire of -an enemy they could neither see nor reply to. Then the road itself was -simply horrible. When not bounding over ledges of rocks that nothing but -an army wagon could withstand, they mired in the quicksand holes with -which the way abounded, so that at times an empty wagon was more than a -load for a six mule team. Then, this only road was constantly exposed to -the raids of troops of the rebel mounted infantry. It was of this road a -story is told of a teamster that was stuck with a load of ammunition in -one of those miry places, and while he was waking the mountain echoes -with his black whip and profanity, was overtaken by an "army chaplain," -just fresh from some theological seminary of the north, and had not made -the acquaintance of the army mule driver. Hearing the terrible profanity -of this Jehu stuck fast in the mud, thought this a fitting opportunity -to "sow the good seed," and riding up to the disgusted M. D. said, "My -friend, do you know that Christ died for sinners?" The M. D., with a -glance at the new and dazzling uniform of the chaplain, sang out, "Look -a yer stranger, do you think it's any time for conundrums when I'm stuck -fast in the mud and the rebels not a quarter of a mile in the rear?" -Whether the chaplain thought his "ground was stony," or that the rebels -were too near, he abandoned his theological lesson and left the M. D. to -his fate. - -In this situation of transportation, with no country on which to forage -or draw any supplies whatever, with the Tennessee river behind us, with -the Cumberland mountains beyond the river, with more than two hundred -miles from the nearest reinforcements, what but the stupidity of Bragg -saved us from destruction while in that position. - -But, instead of striking us while depressed by defeat, he suffered us to -select our position, and before ten days had elapsed our line was -bristling with forts of no mean dimensions and strength, putting our -capture beyond the possibility of being accomplished by assault. - -The siege of Chattanooga proper began about the twenty-fifth of -September. It was not long after this before a flag of truce was sent to -General Bragg's headquarters on Missionary Ridge, asking the privilege -of going out to the Chickamauga battlefield to bury our dead. It had -been so slightly done that in some instances not enough dirt had been -thrown over the sleeping braves to cover their uniforms. This last sad -office was tenderly and carefully performed; and in all instances where -there was anything to identify the dead soldier, his name, company, and -regiment were marked on rude headboards that could be improvised on the -spot. But alas! the fact that we, as an army, could not collect our dead -after the battle, caused thousands to sleep in nameless graves. - -After the war this army of known and unknown dead was carefully removed -to the National Cemetery at Orchard Knob, near the base of the ridge, -and buried; all the _known_ neatly marked; but how frequently the word -_unknown_ occurs in that beautiful home of the dead soldier. - -One good result, besides the decent interment of our dead, was the fact -that all of our wounded that were not able to be removed to southern -prisons were paroled and sent into Chattanooga. One of our men, Arthur -Budlong, had lain upon the battlefield until our boys found him and -brought him in under the flag of truce. Thus were the severities of war -somewhat modified by the humanity of man that not even the unseemly war- -cloud could altogether overshadow. - -The monotony and dreariness of a siege can be appreciated only by those -that have taken part therein. Language fails me to give you anything -like an adequate idea of its listless torments. While on the march the -scenery is constantly changing. The exercise of marching keeps one -healthy, and keeps one's mind employed and the banishment from home and -loved ones does not occupy so much of one's thoughts. The skirmishing -and fighting, while dreadful in consequences and results, has on the -soldier, to a certain extent, an exhilarating effect; and the hours -spent thereafter, in the tales of personal adventure and experience, -while causing one sometimes to think that the tribe of "Ananias" was not -extinct, yet these tales of personal valor and daring helped to cheer -and while away many an idle hour; and, as a rule, no one was deceived -"by the tales they told us there." But in the siege every day was like -all the others; and from the time we fell back on Chattanooga until -operations began about the twentieth of November, the sky was cloudless. -And while the long Indian summer period of southern Tennessee, so -delightful to the citizen in time of peace, to us soldiers (to a certain -extent in captivity) it seemed to breed melancholy and homesickness. We -did all we could to avert this trouble. We played seven-up until we -almost wore the spots off the cards. We smoked and "jawed." We -criticised the plans of campaigns and battles. We decided the merits of -brigadier and major generals until, could you have heard us, you would -have thought we were writers formulating articles for the Century -Magazine instead of besieged soldiers trying to drive away enui. Oh, if -baseball had been invented then what regimental, brigade and division -clubs we could have organized, with hospitals handy to care for the -wounded. If we had only known the silly but fascinating game of lawn -tennis our sick list would have been shortened. - -But these were not all of our troubles. Our commissary department began -to get hard up and threatened suspension. Now, for the purpose of being -understood by the Sons of Veterans and the young people that hear me, -suffer me to explain. A _ration_ is an allowance, issued by the -commissary department, of the various things on which soldiers are fed, -to-wit: hard bread (called hard-tack), bacon (sometimes called sow- -belly), fresh beef, beans, rice, coffee, sugar, salt and pepper, and -sometimes, under favorable circumstances, soft bread. Now a full ration -is ample for three meals, and sometimes a little to spare when _full_. -We had not been in a state of siege long (owing to the defective -transportation of which I have spoken) before we were put on half -rations, that is, one-half of three meals or one and one-half meals a -day; and before many days after we were put on quarter rations, that is, -three-fourths of one meal a day. Now any of you that have tried to live -on less than enough for one meal a day (and are no relation to Dr. -Tanner) will realize the situation we were in. While our rations were -short and, in fact, fast growing less, the health of the men was -materially impaired. The truth is, as a rule, while in camp soldiers eat -too much, and exercise too little. The quarter rations were helped out -by stealing corn from the famishing mules, which the soldiers parched -and ate. The mules and horses that were not sent to the rear died of -starvation, so that, at the time the operations began against the -position of the enemy, we had not a horse to move a gun. Could we have -moved our light batteries on to the Ridge, immediately after the -assault, the loss to the enemy would have been much more severe. But -while the starvation, the enforced fast that we suffered, may have been -beneficial to the health of the men, their morals seemed to decrease in -a corresponding ratio. Stealing whatever one could get his hands on to -eat became not only prevalent, but popular. The brigade commissaries had -to be guarded to keep them from being plundered, while not infrequently -the guards proved to be simply cappers for the hungry thieves of the -regiments from which they were respectively detailed. Officer's mess- -chests were raided; and one could not get up in the night without seeing -some adventurous fellow slipping through the rows of tents with a box of -hard-tack on his shoulders. Holes were excavated under the floors of the -tents, and used as storing places for the plunder obtained by these -nocturnal adventures. I now distinctly remember one "Israelite, in whom -there was no guile," of company I, that the boys for short called "Jew -Jake," that more than kept his mess in hard bread during that time of -scarcity. But the sad part of the whole business was that, while the -raiders and plunderers had all and more than they needed in the way of -bread, the honest ones had comparatively less, as the commissary -department distributed with absolute fairness the scanty rations it had -to issue. And for once there was no favoritism shown to the officers. An -officer could not buy more than was issued for a ration to a private -soldier. But I am, as I remember it from this great lapse of time, in no -situation to be very hard upon those volunteer commissary sergeants that -were so willing to help issue rations, even if they had to go on night -duty, for, as I now remember it, Jew Jake was a great friend to the mess -of which I was a member. And when the time was that the new white hard- -tack looked brighter and better than silver dollars to a people's party -man, no questions were asked as to how they were issued. - -But the day of our deliverance was fast approaching. Above the village -and on the river, inside of our lines, was an old steam sawmill that -probably had not turned a wheel since the war began. This was discovered -by some one, put in order by some soldier (for we had plenty of soldiers -in our ranks that could repair and put in running order, anything from a -watch to a locomotive), and, on taking a stroll in that direction one -day, I saw a gang of soldiers sawing two-inch planks. These planks were -slipped into the river, and landed further down town for further use in -the great drama that we were preparing to enact. We had not been penned -up long in Chattanooga before the country became aroused at the danger -to the Army of the Cumberland. Luckily for us almost everyone saw our -danger save General Bragg, and he seemed to have no hostile designs on -our army. Truly, it seems to me, General Bragg was the General McClellan -of the confederate army, without McClellan's powers of organization and -his delight in grand reviews. - -As I have stated before, the authorities superseded General Rosecrans, -and put the Army of the Cumberland, and all other forces to be -assembled, in command of the "Hero of Vicksburg," "the silent conqueror -of rebel armies and strongholds." But that was not all; the government, -by the aid of the matchless executive ability of Edwin M. Stanton, -President Lincoln's war secretary, withdrew the 20th Corps, commanded by -General Joe Hooker, from the Army of the Potomac, transferred them by -rail and put them into camp at Bridgeport, on the Tennessee river about -fifty miles below Chattanooga, in seven days' time. This was the most -rapid movement of troops ever known in the world's history. In the -meantime General Sherman with his western veterans was on the long march -from the Mississippi, headed for Chattanooga. I remember one night the -rumor came by "the grapevine telegraph," "Hooker was at Bridgeport, -Ala.," and soon the shout "Hooker has come—Hooker has come—Hooker's at -Bridgeport" ran along our lines. Even the never ending seven-up was -abandoned, and the men gathered in squads to inquire and discuss our -prospectively bettered condition and situation, while the officers -hastened to headquarters, anxious to have the rumor confirmed. It was -not long before an officer from the 20th Corps was seen in Chattanooga, -and then the enthusiasm of the Army of the Cumberland knew no bounds. -But Lookout valley was in the possession of the enemy, and it was the -purpose of General Grant to lodge General Hooker's Corps in that valley, -preparatory to swinging it around the north side of Lookout mountain. - -Day after day the sound of the ax and the hammer might have been heard -at the steamboat landing in front of the village. It was the building of -boats from the material sawed at the mill above. The boats were -constructed on the pontoon pattern, not deep, but wide, and if the -rebels took notice of the work they would have been justified in -believing from appearances, that our intention was to construct a -pontoon bridge across the river from Chattanooga. But that was not the -intention. One day there came an order from General Hazen, who commanded -our brigade, to furnish so many men, picked men, on account of their -known bravery and soldierly character. Also, a certain number of -officers to be selected for the same qualities. We furnished the -requisite number from company B, and so did each company of the -regiment, but the name of your unworthy speaker was not on the list of -officers. He was not either among those _called_ or _chosen_. Of course, -I did not know that our gallant Colonel Pickands considered me worthy -for the expedition at hand; but I did know that my saber had been -hanging idly in his tent "for low, these many days," and being there -duty was not for me until I was again put in possession of the same. So -I stayed in camp with Captain Powell of company G and some other -officers and men; because, while all were brave enough, all could not be -chosen. I think the number selected from our brigade was three hundred, -commanded by that prince among fine officers, the late lamented General -Hazen. - -That night the detail were all gotten ready and down to the landing; and -at midnight, when the young moon had hidden its bright crescent behind -the Cumberlands, and the fog from the river had wrapped the base of old -Lookout in an impenetrable cloud of mist, the "three hundred" embarked -silently, and the current of the river bore them down to the point where -the work was to be done. They swept along without accident; and not even -the sleepless rebel pickets, that lined the left bank of the river, -discovered their presence. Just before the sun began to chase away the -darkness from the east they halted at Brown's Ferry, the place of their -destination. Their boats were hastily shoved ashore and the skirmish -line formed, and before the rebels in Lookout valley knew what was going -forward, the "three hundred" of our brigade awoke them from their dreams -by the crack of their muskets, as they scattered the rebel picket line -posted along the river, and before the sun was up Hooker's legions were -pouring into the valley and on their way to the north base of Lookout, -and by the time the sun had set that day Hooker's skirmish line was in -sight of Chattanooga. - -This signal success at Brown's Ferry, more remarkable for the boldness -of its plan and the daring with which it was executed than anything -else, did not cost our brigade the loss of a man, either killed or -wounded, but it gave Hooker a foothold in Lookout valley whereby he -swept it of rebels and opened up _our cracker line_, as the boys called -it, and in a few days we had full supply. From the date of the -expedition to Brown's Ferry whatever there was of the siege of -Chattanooga was raised. - - - THE BATTLE OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. - -Not many days after the capture of Lookout valley by Hooker the head -column of General Sherman's troops came up on the west side of the river -and commenced laying a pontoon bridge across, and soon the western boys, -all dusty and begrimed by their long march, came filing through our -camps. To say they received a hearty welcome from the Army of the -Cumberland is drawing it mildly. They were no _paper collar soldiers_. -They not only had the bearing of veterans, but victors. They marched out -east of town and went into camp near Tunnel hill. Even soldiers often -have but little idea of the time it takes to move a great army of men -from one position to another. It consumed an entire day for General -Sherman's army to pass out to their camp. - -The twenty-third day of November, 1863, the Army of the Cumberland moved -out late in the afternoon, none of us knowing the purpose. We formed in -a continuous line of battle with a heavy skirmish line well in the -front. At the word of command we all moved in the direction of the -ridge. - -Before the rebels seemed to be aware of what was intended we had come up -to our picket line, and that also advanced with our skirmishers, when -the rebel outposts in most places gave way without showing much -resistance. But where the rebel line crossed Orchard Knob they had quite -respectable rifle pits which they defended with some spirit, causing the -41st O. V. I. some trouble in dislodging them, and thereby we had some -few men wounded in our brigade. This line, formerly occupied by the -rebel outposts, we at once commenced fortifying by throwing up strong -rifle pits of earth and stone. We then advanced our skirmish line well -out toward the base of the ridge. One of the prisoners that we captured -said: "Weuns thought youns was coming out for a review, we didn't think -youns was coming out to fight weuns." We informed the Johnny that -General Grant was commanding us, and he was not a review general. That -night we bivouacked on the line, working on the rifle pits by details. -It might be well enough to here remark that the saber of the subscriber, -that had so long hung in the tent of Colonel Pickands, was shortly -before this forward movement returned, owing to the fact that the little -unpleasantness that had occurred with General Willich had fallen into -the condition of "inoxous disuetude," and your humble servant was -permitted to carry that then and now totally useless appendage of an -officer until the muster-out man relieved him therefrom. - -For fear some of you may think my offense was more serious than it was, -and that all may know just how severe army discipline was in those times -when men for the good of their country submitted to the petty tyranny -and whims of their superiors, I have concluded to relate the experience -I had of being under arrest. It was one of those beautiful Indian summer -days when, under conditions of peace, bare existence is a luxury, I had -command of the reserve post in front of Fort Wood. To relieve the tedium -of the hour, myself and three non-commissioned officers on duty with me -were engaged in the _army orthodox_ game of "seven-up." On looking to -the eastward I saw a general officer and his staff approaching as they -came over the top of a hill. I immediately turned out the reserve, and -when the cavalcade rode up I gave the order "present arms," which was -obeyed in good style, but instead of General Willich and his staff -riding away with a kind good morning, he said, "Captain, you report mit -your Colonel under arrest," and without telling me what the "head and -front of my offending" consisted of, I started back to the headquarters -of my regiment. I deposited my _cheese knife_ with the Colonel, and he -directed me to report to the brigade commander, and he directed me to -report to General Willich, whom I found in an old log house. I made -known to him my business. After producing a snuffbox as large as an army -frying pan, and after filling very well his nasal appendage, commenced -in about this style: "Cap'n, you blay cards mit your men. _I blay -cards._ I blay cards mit officers, but not mit men. You blay cards mit -your men—mit your enlisted men. Your men not have respect mit you. Then -when you come mit the battle, you lose control mit your men, you company -preaks, the regiment preaks, and the brigade goes to the tyfle. You go -mit your quarters, I prefer charges mit you." Here was a splendid -Prussian officer that at this late period of the war had not learned the -value of the volunteer soldier and that it was perfectly safe to treat -him when off duty like any other gentleman of equal merit. This fact was -known in our regiment from the start, and the difference between the -officer and the enlisted man was never asserted only for the purpose of -duty—the good of the service. The charges of the brave Prussian officer -were preferred in due time, and, before this movement that I have -described, were withdrawn at the instance of General Wm. B. Hazen, and -that was the last that was ever heard of the charges of "blaying cards -mit your men." - -November 24th the mist hung heavy on the summit of Lookout and almost -hid the monarch of the Cumberlands from our view. Nothing occurred to -break the monotony of the soldier's life until about half past ten -o'clock a. m. a heavy firing commenced on the other side of Lookout from -us, and rumor (the soldiers telegraph) said "that Hooker was advancing -up the west and north sides of the mountain." This did not long lack -confirmation, for our fort on Cameron Hill soon commenced shelling the -woods that covered the mountain, save a cleared field just below the -palisades, in a very spirited manner. This fire was returned by the big -rebel guns mounted on the summit of Lookout, just above the palisades, -but for some reason seemed entirely ineffective. - -How many of those present ever heard a vigorous cannonading in a -mountainous country? Of course, nearly all the old soldiers present to- -day have. The mountain ridges were so situated around Chattanooga that a -single discharge of a cannon would be repeated by the echo five and six -times, the second and third nearly as loud as the first discharge. - -You can therefore imagine the grandeur of an artillery duel in these -mountains. General Grant ordered a battery down near Chattanooga creek, -that runs between the town and the base of the mountain, which did -effective work in shelling the woods all day, and must have been most -terribly annoying to the rebels. It was not long before we could tell by -the firing coming nearer that Hooker's veterans from the east were -driving the rebels before them, and soon the lines of blue smoke could -be seen rising above the trees. All eyes were now centered on Lookout, -and in a short time we could see the rebels had fallen back to the open -field below the palisades, in which at that time stood a farm house. - -Presently we could see the lines of blue coming from out the woods into -the open field, and from their direction and extension they must have -reached from the base of the mountain to the palisades. The fighting -seemed heaviest on the east side of the open field; but nothing could -withstand the force of the constant charge that Hooker was making, and -when the sun went down the rebel line was driven back well along the -east side of the mountain and nearly opposite the west end of Missionary -Ridge. The skirmish lines kept up a constant fire until after midnight, -marking their positions by the continuous blaze of the musketry. Two -lines of musketry running up the steep sides of a mountain in plain -view, and constantly belching forth their tongues of flame, is a sight -most inspiring, and seen only once in a lifetime. - -That night the rebels abandoned Lookout, and the next morning we greeted -the grand old stars and stripes floating proudly from the summit of that -mountain peak, in place of the traitorous emblem that we had been -compelled to gaze upon, in disgust, for so many long sad weeks. - - - THE BATTLE OF MISSIONARY RIDGE. - -We fought the battle of Missionary Ridge with the great victory of the -battle of Lookout mountain as an inspiration, and the flag the gallant -Hooker planted there waiving above us. - -Some have supposed that the battle of Missionary Ridge was fought -without any definite plan save to find the enemy and fight him, but this -is an error. While the battle of Missionary Ridge was a brilliant -success, could General Grant's plan have been carried out Bragg's entire -army must have been destroyed or captured. Hooker was ordered to -withdraw from the mountain early in the morning of the twenty-fifth, -cross Chattanooga creek and move up the valley to Rossville, and thereby -substantially turn Bragg's left flank. Sherman was to attack his right -flank at Tunnel Hill, while Thomas, in direct command of the Army of the -Cumberland, was to hold the center, and fall on his rear the moment he -saw any indications that Bragg was withdrawing to support his right or -left. But it was never intended that the ridge should be climbed in the -face of the enemy, without either of his flanks being turned or shaken. -No general ever dreamed of the storming of Missionary Ridge before the -charge began. The best plans of battles often fail of execution. When -General Hooker struck Chattanooga creek he found a stream he could not -ford, and was compelled to bridge in face of the enemy and under a heavy -fire. And instead of being able to reach Rossville early in the day, as -was expected by Grant, he found himself confronted by the enemy more -resolute and determined than had opposed him on the mountain the day -before. - -Sherman opened the battle on our left with great vigor and -determination, and from our position we could see his charging columns; -but he found the enemy in a very strong position, naturally, improved by -very strong works, and he seemed to make little, if any, progress. - -Our line ran through the edge of a small growth of timber. To the front -there was a soap-stone plateau of about six hundred yards, before -reaching the base of the ridge, where ran a line of the enemy's rifle -pits well filled with infantry. Our skirmish line covered the entire -front of the brigade, and soon after our position had been taken Colonel -Pickands came to the officers of the regiment with the order that "at -the firing of six guns from Fort Wood, and the sounding of the -_forward_, we must face to the front, and not suffer ourselves to be -checked until we put ourselves into the rebel works at the base of the -ridge." - -No emotion was visible in the soldierly face of our brave colonel, save, -perhaps, a little more violent chewing of a large quid of the weed that -added rotundity to his bronzed weather-beaten cheek. His further order -was that we inform each man in the ranks of what was expected of him. -Commanding at the time company B, it was my painful duty to break the -news to those that I had known from boyhood, and that I had learned to -love as brothers. No one that I communicated the order to, but turned -pale. - -If the Light Brigade, that Tennyson has immortalized, was ordered "into -the jaws of death, into the gates of hell," what was to be our fate -when, the moment our line struck the open plateau, one hundred guns -would be opened on us from the summit of the ridge; while the infantry, -safe in its works at the foot of the ridge, would be in deadly range -from the moment we emerged from the little strip of timber that -concealed our line. Now there was nothing to do but wait. Now the time -hung heavy. Now the soldier's thoughts were filled with home and the -loved ones left behind, and what would become of them if he should fall -in the terrific charge that he knew would soon have to be made. - -It is the dreadful waiting that is more terrible than the shock of -battle. When once within the storm of the leaden hail the soldier seems -to rise to a higher plane of life; and while his comrades fall around -him, the din of battle in his ears, the groans of the wounded and dying, -the shouts of defiance of the enemy, and encouragement of his comrades -are ringing out on every hand, he feels as much the master of the storm -of battle as the eagle of the storm cloud. - -But the waiting at last comes to an end. Hooker has found more -difficulties in pushing his column to the right of the ridge and in the -direction of Rossville, than had been anticipated, and as the sun was -slowly sinking toward the crest of Waldron's Ridge the cannon belched -forth from Fort Wood. - -Every soldier of the 124th was instantly in position, and as the silvery -notes of the bugle sounded the _forward_, and breaking the awful silence -after the cannon's reverberations had ceased, the 124th, with clutched -muskets, rushed forth to the charge of death. As soon as we emerged from -the line of timber the rebel guns opened on us, and the whole ridge from -right to left blazed like a volcano. The earth trembled and shook as -though in the throes of an earthquake, while grape, canister, shell and -shrapnel bounded on the stony plain, like peas on the threshing floor. -The rebel infantry at the base of the ridge, seeing the impetuosity of -the charge, left their works and fled to their main line at the summit. -The terrible order had been obeyed. We had put ourselves into the rebel -works at the base of the ridge; and, looking back over the way we had -come, we saw the solid ranks of infantry moving toward us. The rebel -artillery from the top of the ridge opened terrible gaps and lanes in -those ranks of blue; but nothing daunted, onward, with steady step, they -come, until they mingle with us at the foot of the ridge. The terrible -order had been obeyed, and the mercenary soldier would have been content -to have remained in the comparative security afforded by the hill. Not -so the grand old Army of the Cumberland; not so the grand old 124th. -_Without orders_ the charge was at once resumed. The ridge in our front -is eight hundred feet above the level of the Tennessee; in some places -almost perpendicular, but in our front not so abrupt, but so steep that -the ascent was difficult to one without arms and accoutrements. On -rushed the gallant army; on rushed the gallant regiment. Every soldier -had all the ardor of a Phil. Sheridan. No opportunity to return the -galling fire. Comrades falling at every step, but at last the summit is -gained. The enemy completely routed. The guns of the rebels turned. -Plenty of ammunition found, but no friction primers. The ingenuity of -the 124th is equal to the occasion. A boy shouts "_stand back_," fires -his musket on the breech of the cannon, and the shell goes screeching -toward the ranks of the retreating enemy, adding consternation to panic. - -On the left of where we broke the line the enemy still held out against -the heroic charge of the gallant Willich. Instantly a line of the 124th -is formed, the left half-wheel executed, and the rebels, finding their -flank attacked, crumble and finally flee in dismay. A battery of -artillery is descried in the front, being moved to the rear. Instantly -and without orders a few men form a skirmish line and advance, and in a -few seconds every horse is shot down. The guns proved to be a part of -the celebrated Loomis battery, taken by the rebels at Stone river. - -But the red sun had gone down behind the ridge of the Cumberlands. The -stars and stripes float proudly from the entire length of Missionary -Ridge, where but a few hours before the flag of the traitor floated in -defiance of law and right. Then went up such a shout from that mountain- -top, as was only heard, "when the morning stars sang together, and all -the sons of God shouted for joy." - -The share of the trophies of the 124th was seven cannon captured, among -which was the celebrated Washington Artillery of New Orleans, many -hundreds of prisoners, and a great amount of small arms. - -The storming of Missionary Ridge is the most remarkable military success -that can be found recorded on the pages of history, of either ancient or -modern warfare. General Grant, who was an eyewitness of the battle, says -in his official report, "the troops rushed forward, drove the enemy from -the rifle pits at the base of the ridge like bees from a hive, stopped -but a moment until the whole was in line, and commenced the ascent of -the mountain from right to left, almost simultaneously, following -closely the retreating enemy _without further orders_. They encountered -a fearful volley of grape and canister from one hundred pieces of -artillery and musketry from still well-filled pits on the summit of the -ridge. Not a waiver, however, was seen in all that line of brave men. -Their progress was steadily onward until the summit was in their -possession. I can account for this only on the theory that the enemy's -surprise at the audacity of such a charge caused confusion, and -purposeless aiming of their pieces." - -The rebel general, Bragg, in his official report, says: "No satisfactory -excuse can possibly be given for the shameful conduct of our troops in -allowing the line to be frustrated. The position was one that ought to -have been held by a line of skirmishers _against any assaulting column_. -Those who reached the ridge did so in a condition of exhaustion from the -great physical exertion in climbing, which rendered them powerless, and -the slightest effort would have destroyed them." - -Napoleon's veterans charged the muzzle of whole parks of Russian -artillery at Borodino, but they had solid columns and the force of great -numbers, and no obstacles to overcome in making that world-renowned -charge. - -The Light Brigade charged the Russian redoubt at Balaklava, only to be -swept away by the concentrated fire of the Russian batteries; but they -had the impetuosity of a cavalry movement to drive them on _en masse_, -while the storming of Missionary Ridge was the individual heroism of -each and every man in that grand Army of the Cumberland, and is only -explained by the _rebel general_ substantially calling his brave men -cowards, who fought at Shiloh, Stone river, and had so recently been -victorious on the dread field of Chickamauga. - -The great battle of Missionary Ridge was won by the _individual moral -force of the volunteer union soldier_, never known before to the history -of warfare. - -That evening the moon rose over the summit of Tunnel hill, and shone -smilingly along the bare and desolate side of Missionary Ridge, as -though the soil was not wet with the blood of brothers. There, lying -close to the rebel parapet, was the young and brave captain, James H. -Frost, of Company I, his calm face bathed by the soft moonlight and -looking as peaceful as though an angel guarded his slumbers. - -Further down the bloody track of the 124th lay twenty-two of its braves, -"sleeping the sleep that knows not breaking." - - "The tempest may roar, - And the loud cannon rattle, - They hear not, they heed not, - They're free from all pain. - They sleep their last sleep, - They have fought their last battle, - No sound can awake them to glory again." - -More than twenty-seven years have passed since that heroic struggle on -the steep mountain side of Missionary Ridge. The blue and the gray sleep -side by side in the National Cemetery at its base. Chattanooga, then a -small war-battered village, has grown, by northern capital and northern -industry, to be an important iron manufacturing city. The Tennessee runs -its bright and winding way around the proud Lookout, but no rebel yell -pollutes the air, and no rebel rag defies the national authority, but -all is peace and order, industry and law. And so we bid farewell to the -contemplation of one of those great sacrifices that "saved us a nation." - - - - - THE EAST TENNESSEE CAMPAIGN, AND THE MARCH - FROM CHATTANOOGA TO KNOXVILLE. - - -Hooker's victorious legions had descended from Lookout. The battle of -Missionary Ridge had been fought and won. General Geary's division of -the 20th Corps had followed the beaten and disheartened Bragg to -Ringgold, and there attacking the enemy in his entrenched position on -the White Oak mountains, had suffered a repulse in which the gallant 7th -and 8th Ohio lost severely. It was there that the idols of the 7th, -Colonels Crane and Creighton, fell. But our portion of the army advanced -no further south at that time, and the 20th Corps went into winter -quarters. But no such needed rest and recuperation, after the long time -of siege and starvation at Chattanooga, seemed to fall to the lot of the -4th Corps of the Army of the Cumberland. - -The twenty-sixth day of November, 1863, the day after the battle of -Missionary Ridge, we spent in gathering up our beloved dead from off the -mountainside where they had charged so gallantly the day before. We -brought each regiment's sleeping braves and composed them in long lines, -each company's by itself. I wish those that love war, that are filled -with martial ardor, that are hoping that some complication will involve -us in a war with Great Britain, could have walked with me along those -lines of noble dead. There lay in peaceful slumber all ages, all sizes -and forms of men, from the heavy, tall and bearded man of fifty to the -smooth-faced lad of fifteen. - -O, could we feel the breaking hearts of wife, mother, father, sister, -brother, and affianced, when the shouting was over, when the headlines -of the _great victory_ had become familiar, when the congratulatory -orders and proclamations had been issued and read, and the cold, sad -news had been conveyed to each home that claimed a loved one lost in -that great victory—then, and only then, could we know and feel the real -horrors of war. Then, I am sure, all those that love war and delight in -the clash of arms would lift their voices for peace—lasting peace. We -soldiers were not the real sufferers—they were the sad, loving hearts at -home. But then, as now, duty was not to the dead, but to the living. -Their manly forms wrapped in their martial cloaks (the soldier's coarse -blanket) were tenderly buried on that beautiful elevation known as -Orchard Knob, which was the beginning of that National Cemetery where -all the wealth that a grateful nation and a loving people could lavish -has made it, in walks, drives, fountains, lawns, marbles, shrubbery and -flowers, one of the most beautiful places on earth. Here the name and -rank of each soldier is registered, when known, but alas, there are -thousands there that fill unknown and nameless graves. - -But the news of the siege of Knoxville had come to us from the hundreds -of miles to the northward. Longstreet's Corps of the army of northern -Virginia had been detached from Bragg's army before the battle of -Missionary Ridge; Bragg, relying upon the strength of the natural -fortifications that he held, considered that it was only a question of -time when the battered remnants of Rosecrans' army, that had been -withdrawn from the lost field of Chickamauga, must succumb to want and -hunger; and the corps commanded by Longstreet, and some other forces of -the enemy in the north and east parts of Tennessee, could soon render -the situation of Burnside at Knoxville as helpless as ours at -Chattanooga. But the fortunes of war, like all other things, change with -time. Rosecrans had been suspended and Hooker had been sent by Scranton -to the Tennessee in so short a space of time that the feat was the -comment and wonder of the watching world. Grant and Sherman had met. - -The greatest living tactician and the most consummate handler of men, -were in counsel. Then, as I have stated, Bragg was beaten and driven -away, and Sherman marched to relieve Burnside. He was given entire -command, and within two days after the smoke of the battle of Missionary -Ridge had cleared away from the hilltops and mountains around about -Chattanooga, Sherman's army was on the march up the Tennessee river for -Knoxville, keeping on the east side of the valley. - -The first day our brigade only marched two miles, having to wait for the -other brigades and divisions to get out of the way. - -We crossed the Chickamauga river a short distance above Chattanooga on a -pontoon bridge that had been put down by some brigade of General -Sherman's army. The next obstruction that we encountered was a river -that comes in from the east, the name of which has slipped my memory. -This had to be crossed by the aid of a small river steamboat that had -the capacity of taking over not much more than a company at a trip, and -we became very impatient waiting this tedious process of transfer. It -was a stern-wheel wheezy affair, and I remember the boys rechristened it -"The River Snail," and we put in our time making jokes at the expense of -the boat and crew, that acted as though the service they rendered was a -matter of force, and that they worked neither for love of country nor -compensation. At last we were safely across the river, and the old -stern-wheeler, years agone, marks some sand bar on the Tennessee or some -of its beautiful tributaries. Shortly after this steamboat ride of -almost one hundred feet we went into camp; the night was clear and cold, -and not being very well supplied with blankets, we had difficulty in -getting much sleep from Old Mr. Morpheus, the god that the ancients -supposed had charge of that soothing business. - -November 29th we passed through the village of Georgetown, and here we -saw the stars and stripes first displayed by any citizens of the south. -The women came out and waived handkerchiefs and almost anything else -they could get hold of, while the "Old Blind Mice"[3] made the air vocal -with shouts and cheers for the first people that seemed to love the old -flag that we had seen since we left Louisville, Ky. These poor people -had had their homes desolated, had been robbed of what few stores they -had by the rebel army, and, having the name of being union people, they -had been common plunder for every rebel trooper whose rough ride had -taken him into their village. No wonder they cheered and threw the old -flags they had kept during all those dark years of murder, pillage and -rapine to the breeze, when they saw "Uncle Billy" marching northward -with his army that would drive the hated rebel from their own beautiful -valley. - -Footnote 3: - - The pet name of the 124th. - -December 6th found us in the valley of the Little Tennessee river, a -beautiful stream of water, clear as cut glass. This valley is one of the -most wealthy sections of east Tennessee. It may be rivaled by the -Sweetwater valley, perhaps. The inhabitants of these valleys being rich -before the war, and slaveholders, showed nothing but rebel proclivities. -We marched through what had been once a beautiful village, called -Marysville. It must have had at one time some two thousand population, -but it was sadly out of repair. There had been a cavalry fight in its -streets, and there was not a whole light of glass remaining on the -street that we marched through, and the houses showed plainly the marks -of the carbine and cannon shot. - -It was at about this point that General Sherman issued his famous order, -to wit: "That any company, regiment or brigade, that struck the enemy, -should open the battle without regard to the position of the balance of -the army, and without awaiting further orders." This was conclusive -proof we were approaching Knoxville, and must be within the vicinity of -Longstreet's army, and we expected to hear the battle open every minute. -But the rebel general was, without doubt, well versed in the literature -of the nursery, and well remembered "that he who fights and runs away, -may live to fight another day. While he who is in battle slain, can -never rise to fight again." General Longstreet, hearing of the near -approach of Sherman's army, attacked Fort Saunders, was dreadfully -repulsed and then abandoned the siege of Knoxville, without one of -Sherman's army having the chance to unload a musket at the boasting -veterans of the army of northern Virginia. - -Monday, December 7th, we marched within two miles of Knoxville and went -into camp, having marched from Chattanooga in ten days, over two hundred -miles the way we came, having carried our rations in our haversacks, and -eighty rounds of cartridges to the man, never having a wagon after we -left Chattanooga. Here we met the 103d O. V. I. The major of the 103d -was a brother of our Lieutenant Colonel Pickands, and we were well -acquainted with many of the boys of that regiment. The greetings that -followed were not only cordial and heartfelt, but enthusiastic, and the -shouts that went forth when the boys found that Burnside's army had been -reinforced by the army that marched fresh from one of the most important -victories of the war more than two hundred miles to relieve them, awoke -the echoes among the hills of the north. - -We were tired and foot-sore and (to be candid about it), even at this -late day, I remember that we much preferred being cheered to fighting -Longstreet. Those gallant fellows offered us everything they had in the -world save something to eat and drink, which they had not. - -After a night of rest only known to tired, foot-sore soldiers, "free -from war's alarms," Lieutenant Stedman and myself procured passes and -went into the city of Knoxville. This was the largest city we had seen -since we left Nashville, and had a very neat and healthy appearance, -considering that it had been at times the headquarters for both rebel -and union armies. This city is situated at the confluence of the French -Broad river, that rises in the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina, -and the Holston, that comes down from the Cumberland mountains of -northeast Tennessee and Virginia, forming the Tennessee river that flows -past the city in a deep rapid current. The Tennessee river at Knoxville -is one of those glorious streams that the lover of nature never views -without interest, and usually with delight. - -Knoxville, with its beautiful streets, its bright and bounding river, -its mountains on the west and north, just near enough to be romantic, -with a naturally rich valley flanking it on all sides, must ever remain -one of the nicest, and one of the most delightful, towns in the world. I -have not been there since the war, but I am told by those that have, -that, with its unbounded wealth of iron, coal and marble, as well as its -splendid agricultural resources, added a climate that is neither -tropical nor northern, but the happy mean between the two, its growth -has been great and substantial. I suppose a member of the Blind Mice, -finding himself in the Knoxville of to-day, would hardly know it from -what he remembers of the Knoxville he marched to relieve in the early -winter of 1863-64. - -This was the home of the celebrated Parson Brownlow, and I well remember -that on going down the main street of the city this day that we first -visited Knoxville, of seeing his brave and beautiful daughter, Kate, -standing under the flag, bowing and smiling to the union soldiers as -they raised their caps to her; all in very great contrast to her -demeanor when the rebels held the city and she kept that same flag -floating in defiance of the rebel crew that surrounded her on every -hand. - -We promised her that the rebel foot should never again press the streets -of Knoxville save in captivity; a promise that we kept and proved true, -but how much _our valor_ contributed to that result we will see further -on. - -This same Parson Brownlow had two sons in the union army, James and -John, commanding at that time east Tennessee regiments. - -We went down to the north end of the town and found a barber shop in -full blast, and concluded that we would indulge in the benefits -conferred by the tonsorial artist; so taking the chair without inquiry -as to terms, had our locks put in shape, and our faces made more -presentable; but when the time for the settlement came we found the -artist only charged fifty cents for hair cutting and thirty cents for -shaving, which caused us some surprise. - -We next concluded to visit Fort Saunders, that General Longstreet had -made up his mind to take a few mornings before we arrived in that -vicinity. Of course we did not see the battle, and all I can give you is -what we saw after several days had passed. I am not certain, but I -should say that Fort Saunders stood northwesterly of the city, and a -full mile out from the same. I do not know whether the fort was built by -General Burnside or not, but I think it was built by him after he was -sent to that department, as the moats and parapets seemed new. There -must have been timber standing on the easterly and northerly sides at no -very great time before, as the ground was covered with stumps, and they -seemed new and strong, as though the timber had been recently cut. -General Burnside's men, expecting the assault (as Fort Saunders seemed -to be the key to General Burnside's position), had contrived a very -ingenious way of defense. They procured a large quantity of telegraph -wire, and stretched it from one stump to another about knee high, -winding it around each stump a few times to make it secure. This they -did with seemingly very great industry, for nearly all the approaches to -the fort were a perfect network of wire. They also loaded a large number -of shell with fuzes cut at about five seconds, and had them placed handy -when the time came for the assault. This I have from one of the -defenders of the fort. - -Just as the dawn was breaking in the east General Longstreet's -assaulting column drove in the pickets, and, with that yell that once -heard is never forgotten, came dashing on toward the fort; but when they -reached the wire they did some ground and lofty tumbling, mostly ground, -and the fort opened a most terrible fire of musketry, shot and shell. -But nothing daunted, though their formation was badly broken up, they -came on and soon filled the ditches around the fort. Then the shells -were lighted and thrown over the parapets into the ditches, making -fearful havoc as they exploded among the swarming rebels. I suppose a -more determined and bloody charge was never made during the war. The -rebels even climbed up the embrasures of the fort, and the cannoneers -cut them down with axes. - -But the short range shells and the heroic resistance made by the -defenders of the fort were too much for the unquestioned heroism of the -assailants, and what remained of them straggled back, as best they -could, to the main body of Longstreet's army. - -I will not attempt to give a description of the scene in the ditches and -around the fort. It beggars all the horrors that language can describe. -When we visited the fort of course all the dead and wounded had been -removed; but when we came to walk along the bottom of the moats that -surrounded the fort, the evidences of the sanguinary conflict still -remained. Here lay a tongue, there, an ear, and beyond, a jaw bone. I -saw a hand lying opposite one of the embrasures of the fort that was cut -off as smoothly as though severed with one blow from an ax; but though -we rejoiced in a defense that saved General Burnside's army, we were -glad to leave this scene of horror and return to camp where the Mice -were resting their weary limbs after the terrible march that we had -endured. - -December 29th, 1863, we moved our camp to the north into a fine piece of -woods, and remained there until the year 1863 had gone. What a year of -marchings, battles, and sorrow. How many of those that left Camp -Cleveland with us—just one year before—now "sleep the sleep that knows -not breaking." What a change in our regiment. Our ranks have been -thinned, but our effectiveness has been increased. We have been tried in -all the sad experiences of war. Patriotism brought to our ranks very -many never calculated, either physically or mentally, to make soldiers. -Their intentions were high and noble, and they failed by no fault of -theirs; their final discharge was a mercy to them, and a blessing to us. -Many came home and abandoned army service forever. Many enlisted in -other regiments, for shorter terms and less arduous duties; but, as a -rule, _all did all they could_ to maintain the integrity of the Union. - -January 1st, 1864, opened the most eventful year of the war. Each army -had come to its full strength and vigor. "The summer soldier and the -sunshine patriot" had long since retired, and we had a man as commander -in chief of all the armies that had the correct notion of the way of -putting down the rebellion. A man that realized that the theory of -conquering rebel territory while the rebel armies remained intact was -worse than useless. That if armies are to be destroyed, the quicker it -can be accomplished, the more precious lives saved. Great and decisive -battles, with all their untold horrors, are angels of mercy compared to -the small battle, the skirmish, where a few are lost and nothing -accomplished. - -But I find myself digressing, by the thoughts that come crowding up, as -I contemplate the _value_(?) of our east Tennessee campaign of 1864. - -January 14th we struck tents, and crossing the river marched twenty-two -miles to a position known as Strawberry Plains. I never knew why they -called it by that name unless it was because it had no appearance of -ever having grown any strawberries, or because the foothills of the -Clinch mountains were too rough and irregular to be called plains. I -guess the fellow that furnished the name had never been away from home. - -On this march we saw the gallows where four citizens of east Tennessee -were executed. The gallows stood hard by the side of the railroad track. -These men were executed for a very heinous crime. It may be briefly -stated: They loved their country and their country's flag too well to -swear allegiance to the southern confederacy, and so they were put to -death. - -The next day we marched to Dandridge, a small village situated on the -French Broad river, and camped in a beautiful pine woods. - -Here we had orders from Colonel Pickands to fix up winter quarters, as -we would probably stay _right here_ until the spring campaign opened, -and the pine poles were just the material from which to construct winter -quarters of the most commodious kind. For the benefit of the Sons of -Veterans I will describe the process. You must remember at this time we -were soldiers, and soldiers of the Uncle Billy pattern and kind. If we -had any shelter, save the starry heavens, we had to carry that shelter -on our backs, as well as our camp equipage. Now, at this time, you must -also remember that our regiment was divided into messes, and that by the -process of _natural selection_ four men would come together and call -each other Pard. What there was that kept these messes together I never -knew. I said they came together by _natural selection_ for the reason -that when we find anything that we cannot explain we call it _natural_ -and let it go. These messes of _four_ would sing, quarrel, fight, make- -up and divide all they had with each other inside of twenty minutes. -Each member of each mess would swear that there were not three as good -foragers in the regiment as his three messmates. Somehow or other, a -good forager was always held up as a patron saint in the 124th Regiment. -Chaplain Hubbard, of the 103d O. V. I., was the "bright and morning -star" in this business of all the members of the army of occupation of -east Tennessee. I call it the army of occupation because, before I am -done, you will see that is all we did. Well, to resume, each one of -these four messmates would carry one piece, at least, of shelter tent. -Sometimes more could be found, but usually, where more were found, _some -others had less_. This _more_ or _less_ business was a common thing in -the army. - -Now in the first place the streets were laid out, which streets were the -parade grounds of the several companies, where they were formed and -marched to the regimental parade ground. The stumps, when we camped in -the woods, were carefully dug out of these streets, and the same nicely -graded and ditched. Then at the left-hand side looking toward the -regimental parade ground the quarters of the messes were erected. This I -know will seem very commonplace to the old comrade, but you will bear -with me, as I am speaking to-day to many Sons of Veterans and others, -that were too young to be with us in this experience. The poles were -then cut long enough to cover with two pieces of shelter tent, then laid -up, notched at the corners to bring them down quite close, laid up high -enough so the soldier could stand upright comfortably. The ends or -gables were cobbed up to the peak, or fixed up with the extra tents, -poles were fastened on with bark or withes, and the tents make the roof. -Then the cracks were stopped with mud. A stick or stone chimney is built -in the back end. Two bunks are made, one on either side, with crotches -driven into the ground, and small poles laid lengthwise and covered with -pine boughs and the U. S. army blanket make the bed. Gun-racks are made -above each bunk for two muskets and two sets of accouterments. An extra -blanket is hung up for a door, and the house is furnished by the -inventive genius of the mess. The bunks during the daytime furnish -upholstered seats. This house answers for kitchen, dining room, and -dormitory, and a healthier home does not stand in the city of Cleveland. -One of the best features of the whole business is, they were not liable -to sale under execution, or foreclosure, neither for delinquent taxes. -This house I have described was one of a large city our division built -at Dandridge. Please note how long they were suffered to enjoy the -fruits of their ingenuity and industry. - -If I were called upon to organize an army that should accomplish the -greatest warlike good (if the word _good_ can be used in connection with -the word _war_), I would start, in our experience as soldiers, where we -left off. The government should never build quarters for soldiers, they -should build their own. The government should never furnish any -transportation for well soldiers, and instead of staying in camp, I -would have them move from place to place, thereby avoiding the disease -that camps breed. The sooner the soldier becomes self-sustaining, within -a certain limit, the better for themselves and the service. - -January 16th Colonel Pickands came to my quarters and said he had a soft -snap for me; said that I had never had a detail, that I had stayed right -with the regiment since we took the field, and he was only too glad to -confer this favor. I thanked the genial commander, though I had no -desire to leave the Mice in that way; and had but very little confidence -in what he said he heard from headquarters, "that we would probably stay -where we were for three months." About ten o'clock a. m. the detail was -ready, consisting of 149 men. The order was to march to New Market and -guard the division stores. We went through a fairly good country, and -along in the afternoon we met General Sheridan and staff. He was riding -that same black horse that afterward "carried him into the fray from -Winchester, twenty miles away." He asked a number of questions. The -first was, if I had heard any firing in the direction of Dandridge? This -question showed the true instinct of the great general; that he was -always looking out for a battle, and had he been in command of the union -forces in east Tennessee, the country would have been electrified by the -news of a signal victory won, instead of a disastrous retreat from -Dandridge, whereby so many of our poor boys were captured, and carried -to Andersonville and death. Soon after we bade good-bye to Sheridan and -staff one of the Mice, and he must have been one of the kind known as -_ground mice_, found an apple-hole, and before I was aware of what was -going on, the Mice were all busy digging out apples. The owner came out -and protested; said he was a union man, had been from the start, and his -property should be protected. I agreed in all he said, and by the time -his protest was fully entered his apples had been transferred to the -capacious haversacks of the Mice. Of course I was to blame. I should not -have suffered the Mice to gnaw and destroy this good man's apples; but -what, I ask you, could I do with 149 men that had not seen or tasted an -apple since the fall of 1862? I offered to give him a voucher for the -apples, and told him if he was as good a union man as he claimed to be -the commissary department at Knoxville would pay him. But he seemed to -know what the voucher was worth better than I and declined the same; we -marched on to New Market, arriving there after dark, having marched -twenty-three miles since ten o'clock. - -I soon found nice quarters for my men in the abandoned houses of the -village, and my mess arrangements having been broken up, I engaged -boarding with an old lady that had two sons in the union army. This was -one of the worst battered towns I had seen in the south. The sentiment -was about equally divided between union and rebel, and the town had been -badly plundered by both sides. The stores were at the station on the -railroad, and after relieving the men on duty with a detail of my men, -had supper, and being very tired, the old lady showed me a room, and I -went to bed between nice white sheets, the first time in more than -twelve months. Visions of feather beds, soft bread, pies and cakes, no -marching, no picket guard, haunted me until 3 o'clock the next morning, -when I was awakened by a loud rapping at my door; on getting out I saw -the yellow stripes of a cavalry orderly. He very politely handed me an -order directing me to march my detail back to Strawberry Plains, as the -army was falling back from Dandridge. I got out to the quarters of the -men as soon as I could, aroused the orderly sergeant and the men, called -in the guards at the station, and started back on the railway track for -the point to which we had been ordered. And that ended the "_soft -snap_." - -The winter quarters the Mice had built, the city one day old, was -abandoned, and the brigade, wearied out by marching in the deepest mud I -ever saw, slept that night under the stars at Strawberry Plains. What -became of the stores at New Market I never knew, and why we were ordered -back I never knew. All I know about the matter is that Uncle Billy had -gone north to meet Grant at Cincinnati, and General Sheridan was not in -command. - -We lost more men on the retreat from Dandridge than would have been lost -in a battle with Longstreet, and we had men enough to have whipped him -and driven him out of the state. But "the grand army of occupation" was -permitted to do no fighting, and so we wallowed around in the mud of -east Tennessee. - -In a few days we marched down to Knoxville and below to a place named in -honor of one of America's greatest poets, I guess; in any event, it had -the poetical name of Lenore, and if not _loved_, it certainly seemed -_lost_. It may have been found since the war, but it was certainly _lost -Lenore_ when we were there. - -I suppose no part of the south suffered so much in the way of partisan -warfare as east Tennessee. This part of the state owned very few slaves, -and the inhabitants were largely true to the union cause. Of course, the -wealthy portion of the people were slaveholders, and they were rebels to -a man, and middle Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia, and some portions of -North Carolina were intensely rebel, and thus you will understand that -east Tennessee was surrounded by a disloyal population. Then, again, the -Tennessee valley was the principal gateway from Richmond to the -southwest and, until the occupation of Knoxville by General Burnside, -this valley was continually being overrun by rebel troops of all sorts, -from infantry to mounted bushwhackers. The disloyal, when the rebel army -was present, informed on their loyal neighbors, and the old men, the -women, and the children had to seek safety in the woods, ravines, and -caves of the mountains, only to see their dear old homes in flames -behind them. Even the learned and respected Judge Baxter, afterwards -appointed judge of the United States circuit court, who, before the war, -had a fine residence and lucrative practice in the city of Knoxville, -was compelled to "lie out in the bush," as they call it, for three -months at one time, to save his life; and yet with most remarkable -magnanimity, through Judge Baxter's influence, not an acre of rebel land -or a rebel home was confiscated in the whole of east Tennessee. While we -were in one of the many camps about Knoxville, the two regiments -commanded by the Brownlow brothers, James and John, veteranized, and -under the order of the government were granted thirty days' leave of -absence. I happened to be present at the time they disbanded. One of -these brothers made a speech to the two regiments. I don't remember -which one, but I never can forget one thing he said: "Take your arms -with you; you will not be wanted here for thirty days. Go home and -avenge the death of your fathers and brothers." This speech was received -by these hardy mountaineers as a license, as it was intended to be, for -murder and the desolating torch. Not a night from that time on for -thirty days but the heavens were aglare with the flames of rebel homes, -and the number of murders committed will never be known "until the sea -gives up its dead." But never did the horrors of Indian massacre compare -with east Tennessee for deeds of murder and fiendish, remorseless -cruelty from 1861 to 1865. - -Then on the 17th moved back in the rain and mud, and went into camp; and -then on the 23d moved forward again, found no enemy and then back to -camp, having marched that day in the rain and mud twenty-eight miles. -Then on the 24th we struck tents and marched twelve miles beyond -Knoxville to Strawberry Plains again. Then we were up and off to New -Market. Then the next day marched to Morristown, eighteen miles from New -Market, and occupied the abandoned quarters built by Longstreet's men. -Stayed in this camp until March 2d, 1864, and then marched back to New -Market. This marching and counter marching is of no particular interest -of itself, but I give it to you to show how we put in the time. Of all -the campaigning we ever did this of east Tennessee was the most -purposeless, seemingly profitless, and dismal. The most of the time we -were hard up for rations, and were compelled to forage on a people as -friendly as any in Ohio, and that had been robbed by both armies. I -never can forget the time we lay at Clinch Mountain Gap, when it was so -cold that we had to build log-heaps in front of our tents to keep from -freezing, that Colonel Pickands sent Lieutenant Stedman with a file of -men and a wagon to try and find something to eat. I was at headquarters -when he returned at night. The colonel, with that usual smile, said: -"Lieutenant, what success to-day?" Stedman answered: "Nothing." "Why?" -remarked the colonel. Stedman replied, with an oath so terrific that I -am sure it was heard in Heaven (and which I hope the recording angel has -blotted out, and I know he has if he has attended strictly to business), -"that he would be —— —— before he would rob women and children." When -the recording angel became acquainted with the noble Stedman, fresh from -the bloody field of New Hope Church, I am sure the accounts were -properly adjusted. - -Well, this must end my recollections of the very celebrated march from -Chattanooga to Knoxville and the winter campaign of east Tennessee. - -General Longstreet finally went back to the army of northern Virginia, -not that he was in any danger from us, but simply because he became -tired of the scenery and wanted a change, I suppose. - -Nothing in history is grander than the relief of Knoxville; nothing -tamer and more devoid of sense than the balance of the campaign. Yet we -can draw from it all this useful lesson, that those brave spirits, the -noble men that endured the march and campaign, had a patriotism and -endurance that nothing of storm, of cold, of hunger, of sickness, of bad -management could dampen. And though many of that band sleep in southern -graves, yet many lived to bring back the stars and stripes in triumph -from the greatest conflict of modern times and to see the rebellious -states restored to a peaceful and happy union. - -[Illustration: - - _LIEUTENANT CHARLES M. STEADMAN._ - - _Killed at Pickett's Mills, Georgia. May 27th, 1864._ -] - - - - - THE ATLANTA CAMPAIGN. - - -The spring of 1864 opened with millions of anxious patriots looking in -the direction of our armies. - -General Grant had virtually been made commander in chief of all the -union forces, with personal direction of the Army of the Potomac. - -Every lover of his country had come to understand that the policy of -conquering rebel territory and guarding rebel property would never crush -out rebellion. - -The military policy of General Grant, of making the objective point of -campaigns _the rebel armies_, met the good sense and received the hearty -approval of the patriotic people of the United States. - -Some raised the cry of "butcher," but every thoughtful man that knew the -desperate intentions, the bravery, the skill, and the strong defensive -positions occupied by the rebel armies, knew that their destruction -meant severe marches, terribly destructive battles, thousands of brave -men killed, and vastly more wounded and maimed for life; but in the face -of all these mighty sacrifices, that the poverty of language will not -enable us to describe, the patriotic people of the north said, "We will -sustain the army at all hazards," and the armies responded, "Let us set -forward." - -It is a well-known fact that in the winter of 1864, at the Burnett House -in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, the two greatest generals developed by -the war, Grant and Sherman, met in counsel. Sherman, while a line -officer in the regular army, had become most thoroughly acquainted with -the topography of the state of Georgia, and it was at this consultation -that the campaign from Chattanooga to Atlanta and the grand march "from -Atlanta to the sea" were developed and determined upon. It was at this -consultation that Sherman said, "The confederacy is a shell and I can -march an army through it." It was at this consultation that Grant said, -"If you undertake it, I will hold Lee and his armies, that they give you -no trouble." At the end of this meeting each of the great commanders -repaired to his respective scene of action to carry forward the purposes -determined on thereat. - -The first of May, 1864, found assembled in the vicinity of Chattanooga, -and as far south as Ringgold, Ga., the forces with which General Sherman -proposed to crush the shell of the rebellion. It consisted of the Army -of the Cumberland, General George H. Thomas in command; the Army of the -Tennessee, under the especial command of General McPherson; the 23d -Corps, commanded by General Schofield; the 20th Army Corps, still in -command of the hero of Lookout mountain, "Fighting Joe Hooker," as he -was often called in army circles, and also a brigade of regulars. Then -as able lieutenants in command of corps and divisions, Sherman had -Logan, Blair, Sickels, Stanley, Wood, Slocum, Osterhaus, and many -others, _all fighting officers_. Sheridan, at that time, had been -transferred to the Army of the Potomac by the especial order of General -Grant, who witnessed General Sheridan's heroic conduct at Missionary -Ridge. - -I suppose very few of the people of the north ever had anything like a -correct idea of the magnitude of the work undertaken by General Sherman -in the campaign of Atlanta. The distance from Louisville to Nashville is -stated to be one hundred and eighty-five miles, and from Nashville to -Chattanooga it is said to be one hundred and fifty-one miles, and from -Nashville to Bridgeport on the Tennessee river, two hundred and eleven -miles. This long line of railway from Louisville to Chattanooga, and -from Nashville to Bridgeport, Ala., five hundred and forty-seven miles, -had to be guarded by military force every mile. For it must be -remembered that while the state of Kentucky never went out of the Union -and was ostensibly a loyal state, nevertheless, it required more -soldiers to look after its disloyal citizens than she furnished to the -cause of the Union, not for one moment forgetting that the state of -Kentucky furnished some as brave and loyal soldiers as ever sprung a -rammer and some as valiant officers as ever drew a saber. -Notwithstanding, she had a large population in the aggregate that -engaged in that disreputable kind of warfare known as _bushwhacking_, -and very many that did not were ever ready to furnish aid and comfort to -our enemy. Again, no portion of Tennessee, save east Tennessee, laid any -claim to anything but intense love of the southern confederacy. -Blockhouses had to be constructed every few miles of this route and a -vast number of soldiers employed in keeping open this line of -communications. Nashville was the grand base of supplies, where had been -accumulated for many months all kinds of army stores, and from this base -General Sherman had to draw supplies of rations, ammunition, and -clothing for his campaign in Georgia; while the route from Nashville to -Louisville must be kept open to renew the supplies at the base, as well -as to send the sick and wounded to the northern hospitals. - -It is almost needless for me to state before this intelligent audience -that the genius of General Sherman was entirely equal to the emergency. -And while the oddities and comical features of great men will usually be -better remembered than any others, those of us that participated in that -memorable campaign will remember well that no precautionary matter was -overlooked by the ever watchful general. If what he really meant by -"light marching order" was so difficult to understand that a cavalryman -construed it to mean "necktie and a pair of spurs," he was no less -exacting of himself and staff and many a night on this campaign he -bivouacked as would a picket on an outpost. The thoroughness of his -preparation was the sequel of his success. Knowing very well that -overrunning rebel territory did not make loyal citizens of its -inhabitants, he took the precaution to have his engineers make drawings -of every wooden bridge between Louisville and Chattanooga, and between -Nashville and Bridgeport. Nor was this all. He had his corps of -mechanics construct duplicate bridges for the entire line south of -Nashville. He was not satisfied only with his precautions to guard and -care for his line of communications to his base of supplies, but he in -some manner procured plans of the bridges from Chattanooga to Atlanta, -and had bridges constructed and loaded on flat cars ready for use at any -time when wanted. It was perfectly astounding the perfect order and -dispatch with which he reconstructed the railroads as his campaign -progressed, and with such celerity did his engineer corps perform its -duty that after the bridge was burned by the rebel rear guards the same -would be rebuilt, and the screams of the locomotive would mingle with -the rattle of the musketry of the skirmishers just across the river, -always reminding us that Uncle Billy's railroad was in good working -order and that our "cracker line" was secure. But the vigilance of his -preparation was not satisfied with being able to keep up his railroad -lines—he had the finest pontoon corps that was ever organized. - -Each man was drilled in the movements necessary to put down a pontoon -bridge or remove one from the water and replace the same on the wagons -as efficiently as an infantryman in the manual of arms or a cannoneer in -the handling of a fieldpiece. It was a sight that seemed the perfection -of celerity to witness his pontoon corps put down a bridge, and every -line of march was thoroughly equipped in this particular. - -But what I have heretofore described were not all the obstacles in the -way of the making of the Atlanta campaign a success. While we were -beyond the Tennessee mountains, while we had crossed the Tennessee -river, the country from Ringgold to the south bank of the Chattahoochee -river was naturally most admirable defensive ground. Every few miles -were high ridges and small mountain ranges remarkably well adapted for -defensive military positions; added to this the enemy had no rear that -required guarding, had no hostile population to watch and distrust, had -the most accurate information as to streams and roads, had swarms of -volunteer spies to inform him of our every movement, and finally, had an -army of slaves to do his intrenching ready to his hand and use when he -was ready to fall back to a new position. This, all this, and more than -I have time to describe, must be considered if we would thoroughly -comprehend the military magnitude of the Atlanta campaign. - -When General Sherman was ready to commence the forward movement, there -must have been assembled from Chattanooga to Ringgold between eighty and -one hundred thousand men, and on the third day of May, 1864, just as the -magnolias were beginning to open their fragrant blossoms to the south -wind, and the mocking birds were beginning to make the woods vocal with -their songs, our division struck tents and commenced the march -southward, and the evening of the fourth found us two and one-half miles -from Ringgold confronting the enemy's pickets. From this time until the -ninth we made short marches southward, skirmishing with the rebels each -day. On the ninth our brigade was composed of the 124th O. V. I., the -41st O. V. I. the 93d O. V. I., the 9th I. V. I., and the 6th Ky. V. I. -The brigade was commanded by General William B. Hazen and we had moved -as far toward Dalton as a position known locally as Buzzard's Roost, a -pass in the White Oak mountains. Here we found the rebels in position, -the pass strongly fortified and commanded by a number of heavy guns. - -At this position our brigade had an order to charge the mountain at the -left of the pass, which order was executed, and we came within two -hundred yards of the top of the mountain, where we found it broken off -into palisades thirty feet in height. These palisades we had no means of -ascending and so the charge ended. Our regiment lost three men killed -and ten wounded. This movement was afterwards explained as a -demonstration to deceive the enemy, but some of us will always think -that we were the ones that were deceived. There was heavy firing on the -right of the pass and in the direction of Snake Creek Gap, where a -portion of Hooker's Corps fought a severe battle, the 29th O. V. I. -losing very heavily. While in this position (Buzzard's Roost) we were -terribly annoyed by sharpshooters posted above the palisades, the bugler -of the 93d being killed. - -All things considered, this position was properly named, and had Dore -been there he could, without doubt, within the wilds of that mountain, -have found some new illustrations for Dante's Inferno. - -Early in the morning of the 13th we found the rebels had abandoned their -position, and a party of us, while waiting for orders to move, managed -to climb to the top of the mountain. Here we had a splendid view of the -scenery of northern Georgia. Away to the north we could see old Lookout -towering up, while beyond we could distinctly trace Waldron's and other -ridges of the Cumberlands. To the south and west one range of hills -after another, with an occasional mountain, as far as the eye could -reach, showing us that our way was one of difficulty as well as danger. - -About two p. m. we fell into line, marched into and through the pass, -and had time to examine the strength of the abandoned rebel works. These -works were evidently constructed with the hope that our commander would -undertake to force the pass. That afternoon we marched through Dalton, a -small village situated near an unbroken forest of pine, a kind from -which the inhabitants make turpentine. The country seemed very poor, and -from what we could see of the inhabitants we were forced to come to the -same conclusion as to them. - -The next day, May 14th, we struck the enemy in position at Resaca, and -we immediately charged and drove him inside of his works, while our -brigade occupied the line of a ridge running from near an angle of the -rebel works and within a stone's throw of them. In this charge our young -Colonel Payne, then in command of the regiment, just having returned -recovered from a very dangerous wound received at Chickamauga that -nearly cost him his life, showed consummate bravery, riding his horse in -the charge across an open field in a perfect storm of bullets. - -It was nearly dusk when we came into position, and before we took the -ridge that finally formed our line, had some severe fighting. We had the -opportunity of seeing a counter charge against General Willich's brigade -on our right. The rebels came at Willich in fine shape, just as he was -coming into position, but it seemed they had no real good appetite for -an open field fight and got back into their works in the order of "every -one for himself." That night we threw up intrenchments on this line and -the next morning the enemy still confronted us. - -We had orders early in the day that we should be required to charge the -enemy's position in our front. In our immediate front there is a deep -ravine, and the rebel works ran across this at right angles to our line. -Whenever we charged from our works our right flank was exposed to the -fire from the rebel intrenchments. At about two p. m. the charge was -ordered and our line moved out over our intrenchments. No sooner was it -exposed to the flank fire from the enemy behind the works than it went -to pieces. Most of the men got back in as good shape as did the rebels -that charged on Willich. Some of our regiment got into a position where -they could not return with any safety, and stayed out and came in under -the cover of darkness. Later in the afternoon the 20th Corps made two or -three attempts to break the rebel line, but each time failing, and when -the morning of the sixteenth dawned the enemy had abandoned his works -and put the little river called Coosa between himself and us. - -What good results the battle of Resaca may have had on the campaign I -cannot say, but it is certain the enemy was forced back by some movement -made by General Sherman on his flanks that would compel him to fight -outside of his works. We took a number of prisoners at this position, -and our regiment lost quite severely. We marched through the town and -found it all knocked into splinters by the shelling it had suffered -during the two days' battle. We crossed the river and marched about five -miles to the southward that night. - -The experience of one day did not vary much from that of another. The -seventeenth we marched through a county town called Calhoun, county seat -of Gordon county. It was march and skirmish every day. This is a better -country than any other we had seen in northern Georgia, but desolation -was written all over it after we passed. At almost every plantation we -came to the rebels made a stand and the mansion house a fortress from -which to fire at our skirmishers, and when we drove them out the house -almost invariably took fire, and at all times of day and night the -heavens were lurid with the flames of rebel homes. The country from -Resaca to the Etowah river was the most absolutely desolated of any that -we ever left behind us. - -Between Cartersville and Adairsville I picked up a muster roll of a -company of an Alabama regiment that had written thereon eighty-four -names. Until I found this roll I was not aware the Roman Catholic church -was so strong in the south. The four commissioned officers signed the -roll by their signatures, but the enlisted men each _put the sign of the -cross_ in the place of the signature. On this march one of the boys -found a copy of the debates of the Georgia convention, held in the -winter of 1860-61, at which the state resolved to go out of the Union. - -It contained the speech of Alexander H. Stevens, made in the convention, -in which he warned the delegates of the deluge of blood and fire that -would be poured down on their fair state by the invading armies of the -north. It seemed almost prophetic to us who read this speech in the -light of those blazing southern homes, and it also seemed that we were -the ones he saw in his prophetic vision. Of course, all the prophetic -power he had was the keen intellectual force he possessed, and whether -he believed his own prophesies or not, he was afterward chosen vice -president of the confederate states and served as such during the life -of the rebellion. This book was carried along for days, hoping to save -it as a relic of this memorable campaign, but the time comes in the -experience of every soldier when a pocketknife seems a burden, and this -book, containing all the venom of the southern fire-eaters, couched in -language not only learned and chaste in style, but eloquent in diction, -had to be thrown away. Stevens, alone, tried to stem the tide of -secession, "but it was the voice of a drowning man in the midst of the -breakers." - -With marching and skirmishing every day the time wore away, and May 23d -found us on the north bank of the Etowah, a fine river that comes down -from northeastern Georgia, the valley of which seemed very fertile and -productive. This river we crossed on one of Sherman's lightning bridges -and struck out over what is known, locally, as the burnt hickory -district, across the ridges of the Allatoona mountains in the direction -of Dallas. Here Hooker's Corps had a heavy battle, but our corps was not -engaged. - -The next position taken by the enemy was known as Dallas, though the -battles along the position were known by different names. I should say -before passing that we were now in what (before the discovery of gold in -California) was known as the gold region of Georgia. Our boys brought in -from time to time, while in this position, some beautiful specimens of -gold bearing and crystallized quartz, but I suppose they had to be -thrown away to lighten the burden of the soldier when the time comes -that one has to give thought and close attention to be able to put one -leg before the other. This seems hardly probable to my young friends -here to-day, so full of health and activity, but how many times have we -heard the dear boys say, "Captain, _I cannot take another step to save -my life_." Often we would pull out of the road and go into camp near -some clear mountain stream, and you would see the boys pulling off their -shoes and stockings and holding their blistered feet in the cool water -by the half-hour, before making any preparations for supper or sleep. -But what pen will ever be able enough, what tongue will be eloquent -enough, to portray the trials and sufferings of the march and -battlefield, to say nothing of sickness, death and wounds. - -May 26th our corps found the enemy in position at what was known as -Dallas. That night the rebels attacked General Logan's Corps and were -badly repulsed. This was the only serious night attack I ever knew in -all my army experience. All have known more or less firing at night, but -this was the first and only charging column that I ever knew to be sent -off at night. There seems to be too much uncertainty about it to favor -nocturnal battles. - -Early the twenty-seventh we were on the move, my company on the skirmish -line. About ten o'clock we heard that our beloved major, James B. -Hampson, who was on staff duty with General Wood, commanding division, -was killed. This was very sad news, indeed, as the major was idolized by -the regiment, and we all recognized the fact that he had done so much to -make soldiers of us. He was one of the most intelligent, soldierly and -brave officers in the 4th Army Corps. One thing was a little strange, -the major always insisted that he would be killed in the service. Early -in the war the major was a member of the Cleveland Grays, and belonged -to that splendid organization for many years before. He was, without -doubt, the best drilled man in the 3d Division. - -It seemed to be the object of General Sherman to put the 4th Corps in on -the left, find the right flank of the enemy, "catch it in air," if -possible, bring on a general engagement, destroy the rebel army, and -thereby end the campaign. It was the fortune of Company B, which I -commanded, to be ordered to the skirmish line, with other portions of -the brigade, and which line in front of our division was in command of -Major Williston, of the 41st O. V. I. Very many times that day we moved -to the front, but always found the enemy in very strong works, and then -we would withdraw and move by the left flank still further to the left. -Late in the afternoon we came near the Pumpkinvine creek, and found the -rebels without works. This fact was immediately reported to division -headquarters. We drove the rebel skirmish line back on his line of -battle. Colonel Payne sent me an order to force the skirmish line well -to the front, and word was sent back that we were fighting the main line -of the enemy, not one hundred feet away. The rebel line was on the top -of a ridge that runs along the valley of the creek, and is naturally a -very strong position. Soon the brigade came up and charged the hill, but -was unable to go beyond our skirmishers. Later on General Howard put in -General Wm. H. Gibson's brigade, the general leading the charge on foot. -Never did I see men show more courage than did Gibson's brigade in this -charge, but all was unavailing. The rebels reinforced their line with -General Pat. Cleburne's division, and thereby far outnumbered the men we -had engaged in the action. Had an entire division been put in between -our left and Pumpkinvine creek mill pond, early in the afternoon, I -believe the result would have been different. As it was a brigade was -fought at a time, on a very short line where the hill was steepest, and -the enemy's position the most unassailable. The result was that our -brigade was the worst cut up of all the battles in which we were -engaged. We fought in this position until dark, and then what was left -of the two brigades, that had been put into this slaughter pen, withdrew -to the other side of the valley. I have said that my company was on the -skirmish line and opened the battle, and fought with the main line when -the same came up. About four o'clock in the afternoon I went over to the -left of the line to see how the battle was progressing in that quarter, -and met Lieutenant Stedman where an old road comes winding down the -hill. I made some inquiry as to how the boys were getting on, and he -told me Adam Waters had been killed. Adam Waters was one of the best men -of our company. He also informed me that a great many others of the -company and regiment were badly wounded. He said: "Captain, we can hold -this position until reinforcements come up, can we not?" I replied, "I -think so, but what we want is to carry this hill." I was facing up the -hill, and he stood with his face toward me, and so near that I could -have laid my hand on his shoulder. All at once a great stream of blood -spouted from his left breast. He gave me one look, as much as to say "my -time has come," and sank in my arms, dead. I moved his body out of the -road, and folded his arms across his breast. I took his watch and -memorandum book, and laid his new and beautiful saber on his body, -marked the tree under which he laid with my knife, so I could find the -spot again, and amid the thunders of battle I left him reposing on the -loving breast of mother earth, while sadly I left for another part of -the field. There on that lone hillside was sacrificed one of the very -few absolutely brave men I ever knew. I moved over to the right of the -line, and there I saw Captain John Irving, sitting up, his body -reclining against the body of a small sapling, smoking his pipe, his -face as white as the driven snow. I said: "Captain are you wounded?" -"Yes, it is all day with me," he replied. I asked him where he was -wounded, he pointed to his right groin. I learned from him that -Lieutenant Colonel Pickands and Captain Wm. Wilson were also wounded. -Captain John Irving died at the hospital at Chattanooga some weeks -afterward. I think the 124th O. V. I. never had a line officer that was -held in higher respect, for his great bravery, soldierly conduct, as -well as social qualities, than Captain John Irving. - -[Illustration: - - _CAPTAIN JOHN B. IRWIN._ -] - -It was now quite dark, and the firing had ceased all along the line. The -few men that came out of the battle together gathered around Colonel -Payne. He was all alone. His gallant major had been killed early in the -day, and his lieutenant colonel had been dangerously wounded. Of course, -we had hopes that many more would come in during the night, as we were -withdrawn from the field in squads, and without any word of command that -all could hear, and the men were coming in all night. - -The night was very dark, and I proposed to Sergeant Orson Vanderhoef of -our company, that if he and two others would volunteer to go with me we -would go over to the hillside and bring off the body of Lieutenant -Stedman. Ort. was made of the best of stuff, and with two others, as -good, we started. Never saw I such a scene before. The old dead pine -trees standing on the ridge had taken fire from the bursting shells and -cast a weird and gloomy light over the battlefield. When we came to the -old road we followed it up and soon came to the tree under which the -body of the dead lieutenant lay. Some one had taken his saber that I so -much wanted to send home to his only child, at that time a small boy, -but we searched in vain for it. I never can forget the terrible sounds -that filled our ears. When the wounded men discovered that some one was -there they began such piteous appeals for help. "For God's sake can't -you give me a drop of water?" "Can't you help me off the field, so I may -not be captured?" The memory of that dread scene haunts me still, and I -suppose will as long as I can turn in fond recollection to those brave -men that were so ruthlessly sacrificed at the battle of New Hope Church. -Would it not be the proper thing for General O. Howard (between his -prayers) to explain why he left that hillside with its great number of -wounded men to fall into the hands of a merciless enemy, when a good -skirmish line could have held it, at least until the wounded could have -been removed? I would not have propounded this inquiry had I not seen -some of his war articles in a popular magazine. But I must return to my -sad story. I said to Sergeant Vanderhoef that he and I would take the -shoulders, and the others might divide the balance of the burden, as -Ort. and I were a little the more muscular of the party. We had just -stooped down to raise the body of our loved comrade when there rang out -the silvery notes of a bugle, so clear and soft one might have mistaken -it for some night bird's call. Ort. said: "Captain, what's that?" I -said: "I guess that is some artillery call. It is certainly not an -infantry call." Ort. said: "By G—d, it's the _rebel forward_, I've heard -it many a time on picket, and we'd better be getting out of here pretty -G—d d—d quick." Just at this instant a rebel skirmisher stepped into the -old road, and the blaze of his musket went away past where we stood. I -whispered to separate instantly, and away we went down the hill. The -firing had now become general all along the line, telling the story only -too plainly that the field, with all of its wealth of dead and wounded -comrades, had been abandoned to the tender mercies of one of the most -cruel enemies that ever fought a battle. Common humanity would have -dictated that a fresh line should have been established on that field, -and maintained there until the last wounded union soldier had been -tenderly borne back to the field hospital. The only reason the rebels -charged over that battlefield that night was because they knew no line -of union skirmishers was there to oppose them, and they could plunder -the brave dead and wounded without danger of molestation. - -As soon as one was away from the light of the burning pines it was so -dark one could not see a hand before him, and the first thing that I -realized I was up to my neck in Picket's mill pond; but, being a -Baptist, that did not astonish me to any alarming extent. I groped -around in the darkness not knowing whether my wandering steps were -bearing me into our lines or the rebels'. At length, about three o'clock -a. m., I came upon a group of men and asked who they were. One replied -they were General Howard and staff. I told them my name, rank, company -and regiment, as well as brigade and division, and asked for directions. -None of them could give any and I was about to leave when it occurred to -me that was the corps commandant, and I, as an officer, had a duty to -perform. I addressed the general, begging his pardon for the intrusion, -and told him that I had been driven off the battlefield, and that there -was not so much as a union picket between our lines and the rebels. You -might have supposed that he thanked me for the information, and that he -would have said "that he would have the matter looked into," but on the -contrary his reply was: "There is not a word of truth in your story, -sir. Go away from here, this is my headquarters." I went immediately -away reflecting how it was possible for a man to be such a devout -Christian and a corps commander, and still be so little of a gentleman. - -When I found the regiment they were intrenching, and I worked with them -until daylight, when we found our works faced to the rear. We soon put -out a skirmish line, reformed our works, and this battle under the -different names of Picket's Mills, Pumpkinvine creek and New Hope -Church, was the last engagement in which our brigade took part on the -rebel position known as Dallas. - -In this battle of New Hope Church, just described in the poor way that a -line officer has of seeing such a conflict, our regiment lost very -heavily in officers and men. I see by a note I made at the time that the -brigade in this action lost five hundred and sixty men. We remained in -this position for a number of days, skirmishing and fighting, somewhere, -almost constantly. It was at this position that we had the benefit of a -lesson and example from the regular brigade. On this line the regulars -joined us on the left. The rebel skirmish line ran along by the edge of -a wood, while from our line to theirs the ground was open and -comparatively level. To avoid losing men, we put our skirmishers out -before daylight in the morning, avoiding any formal "guard mounting," -and relieved them after dark at night. The regulars took the _regular -regulation way_. At nine o'clock every morning they had "guard -mounting," omitting no formality of the same. The rebel skirmish line, -safe in their pits, firing into them all the time. The new line going -out under fire, and the relieved one coming back under the same -conditions. This occurred every morning as long as we remained in this -position. I am not certain whether this fact ever came to the knowledge -of the general officers or not, but the fact became so notorious that -the men from all along our brigade were in the habit of coming in behind -our works to witness the "_regular guard mounting_." They used to lose -from two to five men every morning. The boys used to call it the -"regular slaughter pen." - -We remained in this position until the fifth of June, when we found that -Sherman's flanking process had done its work and the rebels had -abandoned their position, and we moved to the left to within three miles -of Ackworth. From this time until we again struck the rebel position, -the twenty-second of June, it was march, skirmish and intrench. This -gave us but little rest, and the boys were looking haggard and careworn. -This constant skirmishing, this no place of safety, this constant alarm, -and night work on intrenchments, seemed to fatigue and wear out men more -than fighting hard battles, followed by security and rest. - -We had now pushed our line as far south as Marietta, a beautiful town, -situated just north of the Chattahoochee river, and just south of -Kennesaw mountain. This country of central Georgia is somewhat peculiar -in its formation. There are no distinct mountain ranges south of the -Allatoonas, but here and there a beautiful little mountain rises all -alone above the surrounding country, that seems very much like table- -land, though not level enough to bear that appellation. Among these -solitary mountains, the names of which I remember, are Pine, where the -rebel general, Bishop Polk, was killed before we reached our present -position, Kennesaw mountain, Lost mountain and Stone mountain. All these -little mountains were taken advantage of, as defensive positions, by the -enemy; and here at Marietta the rebel line ran over the north side of -Kennesaw, making an admirable position for its right flank. Here we -forced our way very close to the enemy's works and in some places our -works approached theirs to within two hundred feet, so that neither army -could have a skirmish line beyond its works. When we were coming into -this close position, the rebels made a charge and were repulsed with -great slaughter; and their dead lay there unburied until after they -abandoned this line. Some of us went over this portion of the line, and -it was with difficulty that we picked our way among the rebel dead. I -never saw the dead lie thicker, save at Chickamauga; and it took a -strong man to stand the terrible stench that arose from that field in -this almost tropical climate. I think this position of the enemy was the -strongest of any we had encountered, and for the benefit of those that -were not there I will describe these rebel works and defenses. In the -first place there was the timber, the trees were felled and the tops -turned outward, the small branches all trimmed off and the large ones -sharpened. These trees, so trimmed, were placed contiguously to each -other, and the buts staked down with heavy stakes driven deep into the -ground. This first line of rebel defenses was about shoulder high to an -ordinary man, and could only be cleared away by axmen. Their second line -was constructed in this wise: A ditch was dug about four feet deep, pine -poles from three to four inches in diameter were cut and sharpened to a -point, set about four inches apart at an angle of about forty-five -degrees, facing outward, and coming up about breast high. This ditch was -filled with earth, and tamped solidly, then near the ground these -sharpened stakes were woven together with withes. A more formidable -defense could hardly be invented. Their third line of defense required -more labor. They cut pine logs about twelve inches in diameter, and -bored them through the center at right angles, with three inch augers; -these holes were filled with pine poles six feet long sharpened at each -end, and driven through the log just halfway. These logs were halved -together and pinned, and the splices wrapped with telegraph wire, thus -making a continuous line. This defense is what the French call -_Chevauxdefrise_, and is just as formidable one side up as the other, -and cannot be gotten over without axmen. Finally, the rifle pits, with -head-logs thereon, leaving a space of about three inches, through which -an infantryman could aim and fire in comparative safety, the head-logs -fully protecting the head above the line of sight. These defenses were -placed and constructed about fifteen rods apart, and all within the -deadly range of the Enfield rifle with which our mother country had -armed the confederacy; and a more accurate, longer range muzzle-loader -was never invented. A portion of the enemy's line, with defenses just as -I have described above, General Sherman tried to carry by assault the -twenty-seventh day of June, and lost three thousand men in fifteen -minutes, General Newton making the assault with the first division of -the 4th corps. Our brigade was in position to support the assaulting -columns and we saw the disastrous charge, but the charge failing we were -not put in. Here the brave young General Harker was killed, while -leading one of the assaulting columns. That the charge would fail was -inevitable. A single line of battle of the enemy, armed as they were, -inside of such defenses, could repulse any mass of men that could be -sent against them. It would require a man without a musket and -accouterments, armed with a good ax, from five to ten minutes to cut -through these three outer lines of defenses, and the idea of assaulting -such a position without first having these defenses cleared away, was -entirely preposterous. It would have cost the killing or wounding of one -thousand axmen to have cleared the way for a regimental front to charge. -After the terrible disaster of the twenty-seventh of June, 1864, General -Sherman came out in a long general order, which was in fact a very weak -excuse for this disastrous blunder, and winding up in substance as -follows: "My soldiers must learn that they must charge in all places, -and that we cannot depend at all times upon flank movements." - -I suffer no man, no old soldier, to stand before me in my admiration for -the services rendered our country by that grand old hero, General W. T. -Sherman, but in military life, like civil life, a man may be very -valuable and great in one direction, and of very little value in -another. That general was not developed during the war for the -suppression of the rebellion, that could handle one hundred thousand men -in such a fine manner, keeping them all in hand, like General Sherman. -But when it came to fighting in a country the Atlanta campaign was -fought over, with the defenses his army had to meet, his corps -commanders, and his men generally, had very little confidence in his -judgment. This feeling, that he knew was quite general, was the -inspiration of the famous order that I have referred to before, issued -after the battle of Kennesaw mountain, June 27th, 1864. I have it on the -authority of Colonel Payne, that Generals Thomas, Logan, McPherson and -others of his generals on the campaign, persuaded him out of many an -assault he had ordered, that would have been as disastrous as that of -Kennesaw mountain. But that any of them had the ability to do as well as -he did I do not believe. General Thomas had the best of judgment in -fighting a battle and what men could do and should attempt, but he would -never have gotten his army there as Sherman did. Of course General -Sherman never _admitted_ his mistake in ordering the assault at -Kennesaw, but we all remember he never _repeated_ it during the -remainder of the campaign. - -In the position in front of Kennesaw we saw trees twelve inches in -diameter cut completely off by the fire of musketry alone—simply bitten -out, piece by piece, until the trees would fall. You can imagine about -how much ammunition was expended? - -On the third of July we found the rebels had again retired, and we -followed up, passing through Marietta. We made a short stop near the -Georgia State Military Institute. Some of us went up on one of the -buildings and had a fine view of the surrounding country. We marched in -all to the southward six miles this day, and turned in to get ready to -celebrate the glorious fourth, to-morrow. The morning of the fourth -opened with more than a national salute, and though we did not do much -fighting there was plenty of cannonading on our right, and it was -currently reported in camp that fifteen hundred prisoners had been -captured, which caused "the day we celebrate" to be indeed a glorious -fourth. The fifth we found the rebels had again abandoned their works in -our front, and our regiment deployed as skirmishers, and held the -advance of the division. We found, on the top of the hill that overlooks -the Chattahoochee river, a "_butternut_" that had evidently tired of the -southern confederacy, for, as Hood puts it, had "enlisted in the line." -He had bent down a sapling, fastened a piece of bark around "his -melancholy neck" and to the sapling, and then let go. He was one of -those lank, lean rebels that had not flesh enough on his bones to even -decay. He had dried up like a piece of beef, and was an elegant specimen -of a confederate mummy. This item of news in time of peace would, -undoubtedly, have furnished a sensational article for a Marietta paper, -but the boys cut him down and the line moved on. - -In the afternoon, as we approached the river, from the top of a high -hill we saw Atlanta. It looked as good to us as the promised land did to -Moses, as there we saw the end of this terribly exacting and fatiguing -campaign. As we were driving the rebels down to the river, at the south -side of an open field, the rebels erected rail barricades, from which it -gave us some trouble to dislodge them. I thought by swinging the left of -our line around we could "gobble them in," and not expose our center to -their fire, protected as they were, and had sent word to that effect to -Captain Raidaie, who had charge of that portion of the line. About this -time General Tommy Wood, commander of our division, rode up, accompanied -by one orderly. Without waiting for me to carry out my little strategy, -or in fact consulting me at all, he at once ordered a charge. "Go in, -brave boys." "Go in, brave boys." We, of course, drove the Johnnies from -their rail barricade with the most perfect safety, as they put in all -the time we were "double quicking" across the field, shooting at "Old -Tommy;" fortunately the old general was in such a state of _spiritual -exhilaration_ that he was in no danger of getting hurt. That night we -drove the last rebel across the Chattahoochee river, and went into camp -for several days. - -We had been on the campaign sixty-three days. The enemy had been flanked -out of four very strong positions, but nothing like a general engagement -had been fought, nothing like a decisive battle had been won. Owing to -the fact that where battles had been fought the enemy fought behind his -works, on very advantageous ground, our losses must have been very much -more severe than his. Our base of supplies was every day growing farther -away, and our line of communications therewith requiring more men to -guard. With the exception of the fact that we had run over some rebel -territory, that we left in a condition to feed no more rebels, what had -we gained. - -The enemy during all these long weeks had been commanded by General -Joseph E. Johnston. Of all the defensive officers, developed by the war -on either side, I do not believe General Joseph E. Johnston had an -equal. In the face of a vastly superior army, he had held four -positions, fought many battles, and finally crossed the Chattahoochee -river, and General Sherman had not been able to force him into a -decisive engagement. - -In all this defensive retreat General Johnston had not lost property to -the value of a cracker box. While the country we had so far advanced -over had been most favorable to a defensive campaign, nevertheless, I -doubt if the history of the world can furnish another example of so well -executed defensive work, as that conducted by General Joseph E. -Johnston, from Ringgold to the Chattahoochee river. But fortunately for -the right treason is not always associated with great ability. If the -civil administration of the confederacy had been conducted as ably as -the military, with all of its mistakes and blunders, the outcome would -have been a matter of grave doubt. But fortunately for the Union and the -cause of humanity, Mr. Jefferson Davis, the president of the -confederacy, had not the ability to appreciate the services of one so -able as the general that had so successfully opposed General Sherman on -the Atlanta campaign. Generals Johnston and Sherman were both educated -at our military academy at West Point, and were classmates. Each knew -the other very well; and it was the plan of General Johnston, knowing -the impetuosity of General Sherman, to destroy the union army by -suffering it to continually give him battle behind his impregnable -works, and from which continual mistakes General Sherman's able -lieutenants had saved him (to which I have referred heretofore). General -Johnston well knew, from the start, that he could not cope with the -union army in an open field engagement, and he had planned to have so -reduced Sherman's army, by the time he had reached and crossed the -Chattahoochee river, that the two armies would be on something like -equal terms as to men, and a more aggressive mode of warfare on the part -of the rebel forces would give better promise of success. But after the -confederate army had crossed the Chattahoochee river, the civil -authorities at Richmond became alarmed. The president of the confederacy -being the inspiration of the dissatisfaction that existed against -General Sherman's heroic opponent, General Johnston was removed and -General Hood placed in command of the rebel forces, and the sequel will -show with what success. Had General Johnston been supported by the civil -authorities at Richmond, as the good (or bad rather) of the confederate -cause demanded, in my humble judgment, the music and sentiment of -"Marching through Georgia," that so much amused the grand old general in -his declining years, would never have been written. But I must stop this -generalizing and return to the details of my narrative. - -July 10th, 1864, again found us on the march to the left, and we moved -in that direction about seven miles to near the headquarters of the 23d -Corps, and on the twelfth, again struck tents, and moved down to the -river, crossing the same on a canvas-boat pontoon bridge, and went into -camp much nearer Atlanta than ever before. The next day we were again on -the move, but only made a short distance and went into camp, and -remained in camp until the seventeenth, when our brigade went to the -river above, drove the Johnnies away, and saw one of General Sherman's -pontoon companies put a bridge across the Chattahoochee river in just -one hour and a quarter, and the 14th Army Corps commenced crossing. The -next day we broke camp and started in the direction of Atlanta, General -Newton's division taking the lead. We found nothing but skirmishers -before us, who seemed entirely willing to fall back as fast as we came -on. The next day, the nineteenth, we moved up to Peach Tree creek, and -we found that a different commander was in charge of the rebels, for -they attacked the 20th Corps with great spirit. But it did not seem to -take the heroes of Lookout mountain long in an open field fight to do -the Johnnies, as they seemed to be very glad to get away from them. This -battle of Peach Tree creek was the first of Hood's battles, and in this -he was very badly punished. Our regiment was not engaged more than in -heavy skirmishing, but our captain, Sherburn B. Eaton, was badly, and in -fact very dangerously, wounded. He was serving on staff duty at division -headquarters at the time. The captain recovered from his wound, but not -sufficiently to permit of his returning to the service. Captain Eaton -was our first adjutant, and was as prompt an one as ever read orders on -dress parade. He was a very scholarly gentleman, and from him we learned -much; and if I remember correctly he learned some things from us. Some -of us country boys, on the start, thought our adjutant a little stylish; -but we found him brave in action, and that, like charity, covers a -multitude of other seeming defects in a soldier. - -General Sam. Beatty's brigade of our division captured a large number of -men, and among them a number of officers. Though the burden of the -battle of Peach Tree creek fell on Hooker's Corps, many other -organizations bore quite important parts in the same. On the whole, we -were all highly pleased with the change in the rebel commanders, and -hoped he would keep up his present tactics. This open-field-battle -business was just what we wanted, and had been praying for all summer, -and only hoped Corporal Hood would indulge in them to excess. - -On the twentieth of July we marched to the left, our division supporting -the first division to within three miles of Decatur, and within four -miles of Atlanta. Very heavy skirmishing in front, and McPherson -reported within two miles of Atlanta. Hood charged Newton's division and -Hooker's Corps, and was repulsed with great loss. - -The twenty-first we broke camp very early, moved to the right, crossed -the Peach Tree creek, moved to the front, and put up good works. - -Early the morning of the twenty-second Hardee's Corps moved back to the -east of Decatur, and struck McPherson's Corps on the left flank and -rear, completely turning the same. The gallant general was killed at the -front where he was trying to rearrange his line of battle, exposing -himself to the enemy's sharpshooters. We all felt that all the brave -general could have accomplished by his exposure was very poor recompense -for the grand life thus sacrificed. Everything seemed to promise victory -for the rebels until they had swept our line as far as the 15th Corps, -when they found that Logan had changed his front to rear, and instead of -there being anything like panic or confusion, they were met by a charge, -led in person by that gallant general, that sent them whirling back to -the place from which they started, leaving Logan in possession of the -field. We were moved over to the left to the support of the 15th Corps, -but were not put into the action; and I think could not have been -without being mounted, such was the fury of Logan's charge. This was the -third of Corporal Hood's battles before Atlanta, each one of which had -resulted in defeat and great disaster. But our loss was terribly severe, -as we lost one of our best corps commanders, which cast a gloom over the -entire army. General James McPherson was not only loved by the army of -the Tennessee, but was admired by all the men and officers that were so -fortunate as to have formed his acquaintance. - -The twenty-second we advanced our lines nearer the city and threw up -very heavy intrenchments, and the next day strengthened them and put up -a line of abatis in front. Our batteries spent their time in throwing -shells into the city. I should say our skirmish line was out a mile from -the ridge occupied by our works. We remained in this position for a -number of days, and on the twenty-seventh moved out and marched around a -hill to the left, seemingly a thousand and one times, to make the rebels -believe we were moving to the left; but I guess we did not fool them -much, as I never saw that anything ever came out of our demonstration. - -On this position, at the left of our regiment and company, there was a -battery of ten pound Rodman guns posted. These guns were rifled and were -capable of throwing a shell five miles, they made us believe at least, -and they spent their time throwing shells into Atlanta. Once every five -minutes they dropped a shell into the city, which must have rendered it -a very unpleasant place for a summer resort. The strangest thing about -this whole business is, that we could lie down and go to sleep "in our -little beds," and not hear those five minute guns _once_ all night long. -Such is the power of habit. - -At this position we received news that Sergeant Japhet Sooy had died at -Chattanooga the sixteenth of July. Sergeant Sooy was one of the best of -soldiers, and his great mirthfulness not only made him a great favorite -with his own company, but with the entire regiment. All knew him to be -brave and kind, as well as faithful and obedient. We also received word -that Timothy Powers was buried at Chattanooga the twenty-eighth of July. - -The news of these sad losses caused us to reflect on the condition of -Company B that left Cleveland, Ohio, with one hundred strong and able- -bodied men. Now twenty-five of them were under the ground, filling -honorable, but many of them unknown, graves. I have not the record now -before me, but I am certain that the other nine companies of this -fighting regiment suffered equally as severe losses. - -On the third of August the skirmish line in the front of our brigade -left their pits, drove the rebel skirmish line back, and captured thirty -of the Johnnies; and so persistently did our fellows hold the advanced -position by them taken, that the rebels had to bring up a line of battle -before they could restore their skirmish line. In this affair our -regiment did not lose a man. This little action came about by our -general officers thinking there were no rebels but a skirmish line in -our front, and there was nothing to hinder us from going to Atlanta; but -they soon found out there were plenty of those selfsame rebels between -our line and the city we sought. We remained in this position a long -time, doing more camp than field duty. General Sherman brought up a -number of heavy siege guns from the rear and planted them to our right, -and threw one hundred pounds of iron into the city at every discharge. -What good this bombardment did I cannot now tell, save the destruction -of a rebel city, which I have now come to regard as the right thing to -do under the circumstances, and should have been commenced sooner. -Somehow rebel cities seemed to suffer wherever General Sherman went, for -which I entertain for his memory the profoundest respect. - -While at Atlanta we lost the 9th Ind. from our brigade. Colonel Campbell -had orders to report to Indianapolis for muster-out. We were sorry to -part with the 9th as they were in every respect a first-class regiment, -and could be always depended upon to take care of their part of the -line. But they were now going home, after serving since 1861, having -done their full share of service for their country. - -August 26th, at about eight o'clock a. m., we commenced the movement to -the right. This was the most terribly hot weather we had encountered; we -marched not over eight miles, but more than half of our regiment fell -out, completely overcome by the intense heat. That night our regiment -was ordered on the skirmish line. The next day the regiment was ordered -to move to the right, and marched about four miles. The next day the -14th Corps and its train passed us, and the general tendency of the army -seemed to be to the right. The next day we struck what we called the -Montgomery railroad. We destroyed about a mile of it pretty effectually. -We turned the road over, built large fires, put in the rails, heated -them hot, and then twisted them around trees and stumps. I have since -thought of what sort of language the section-boss used, when he was sent -to repair that track. I wonder if what we did that day made the -confessional more expensive for him. - -August 30th we moved out early, to a position near where we had been -wrecking railroad; then marched in a southeasterly course to within four -miles of the Macon railroad, as we called it at the time. We were -offered very little resistance from the enemy, and this day we marched -about ten miles. We were making the grand flank movement around Atlanta, -so famous in history. On the last day of August we moved out from camp -to a position on a ridge, and commenced putting up works. Plenty of -enemy in our front. About eleven o'clock a. m. the rebels left their -works, and we immediately started in pursuit. The 1st division took some -prisoners. We struck the Macon railroad about four o'clock p. m. We saw -a train pass over the road just as we came up. We selected a position -and fortified it, and a detail destroyed the track. The next morning, -our brigade being in the rear, we moved out late and marched down the -railroad toward Jonesborough. Heavy cannonading at the front, and we -learned that the regular brigade had made an assault on the enemy's -position and had been repulsed; but we were also informed that General -Mitchell's brigade had renewed the assault, drove the rebels from their -works, captured a six gun battery and two thousand prisoners. - -On the second day of September, 1864, we moved out early, marched -through Jonesborough, and found the enemy in position about three miles -south of town on the railroad. We formed in line of battle, and made an -attack on both his flanks, but failed, for some reason, to pass beyond -them. Here we learned that Atlanta had fallen and was in our possession, -and the rejoicing along our line was immense. The news was soon -confirmed by a circular from division headquarters, stating that the -rebels had blown up two of their trains of ammunition and seven siege -guns. This accounted for the noise, that sounded more like an explosion -than a battle, that we had heard the night before. For some reason -entirely unknown to your humble servant, General Sherman did not desire -to pursue Corporal Hood any further south, and our line of battle was -withdrawn. So Atlanta had fallen after a campaign of one hundred and -twenty-two days. The distance from Chattanooga to Atlanta by the -railroad is one hundred and thirty-eight miles, but we had marched, -undoubtedly, more than that distance by a great many miles, in the flank -movements we had made. - -On the eighth day of September, 1864, we marched into and through the -"gate city of the south." We put on all the style of which our dirty and -ragged condition would permit, forming our regiments in column by -company, with our bands playing and colors flying. We marched down -Marietta street, and the few citizens we saw did not lay themselves out -to give us a cordial welcome. This street was the nearest _ruins_ of -anything west of the Atlantic. We saw one large sign that I suppose the -visitor could hardly find in the new Atlanta. It extended the entire -front of a block and read: "Slaves At Auction." We marched three miles -east of town and went into camp, and the Atlanta campaign was ended. - -I have tried to give you, though very imperfectly, my recollections of -this, the greatest campaign ever made on the western continent. To the -general hearer it would have been more interesting, without doubt, to -have given the outlines of the campaign, omitting the details of each -day's movements with their dates; but as many of that old fighting -regiment (of which I had the honor of being a member) are still alive, I -thought it my duty to place upon record a detailed account of their -sufferings and triumphs. General Sherman had, indeed, broken the shell -of the confederacy; but I must say (and I think my comrades will agree -with me) it was, by all odds, the _toughest shell_ we ever helped to -crack. - -For more than one hundred days, of the one hundred and twenty-two days -of the Atlanta campaign, we had been under fire. The graves of our dear -dead comrades are scattered thickly from Dalton to Jonesborough. - -The red earth of our intrenchments marks the hillsides and beautiful -mountains of northern and central Georgia. - -The campaign was the severest blow the rebellion had received up to that -time, and from Atlanta, General Sherman commenced his grand march to the -sea. - - - - - FROM ATLANTA TO NASHVILLE. - - -The campaign of Atlanta practically closed with the abandonment of the -city by the rebels, September 2d, 1864. The confederate forces still -occupied a position near Jonesborough, about thirty miles south of -Atlanta. The campaign had ended by the federal forces arriving at a -certain geographical point. The confederate forces, although somewhat -shattered and reduced by the battles dating from Peach Tree creek -forward, were still intact. The rebel forces were still in command of -Hood; and with him were some able fighting officers, in the persons of -Cleburne, Hill, Hardee, Adams and others. - -On our arrival at Atlanta, General Sherman immediately commenced -preparations for the grand march to the sea. It was at once evident that -he intended to abandon his line of communications, for he commenced to -build a fort large enough for the garrison he intended to leave at -Atlanta. This fort he built substantially in the heart of the city, and -destroyed the balance because in the way of the fort. So when General -Sherman took up his world-renowned march for the seaboard, but very -little of the "gate city of the south" remained standing. While these -preparations were going forward the 124th regiment was in camp about -three miles southeast of Atlanta, busy in cleaning up, drawing new -clothing, and recuperating from the effects of the arduous campaign just -closed. We had not been in camp many days before we were astonished by -the news that the Sanitary Commission, a patriotic organization of the -loyal citizens of the north (whose ramifications penetrated to every -city, village, hamlet and farm of the loyal states), had sent us a train -load of Irish potatoes. This may seem a small matter to take note of -after so many years and read to you, who in all your lives have never -know the want of anything to eat your appetites might crave, but what do -you say of a lot of men that from January 1st, 1863, to September, 1864, -had not feasted, even their eyes, on a potato? If you could, at your -home, surrounded with all the delicacies of the culinary art, be -deprived of the common potato for eighteen months, you could then -appreciate our situation. The cheers and shouting that went up, mid- -afternoon, when the commissary department sent word to the regiments it -had potatoes to issue, were enough to make one think the news of some -great victory had been communicated to us. And when the stream of -potatoes began to be diverted and divided to the companies and messes, -it was too comical for anything, those great bronzed and weather-beaten -soldiers, running around with their hands full of potatoes, and to see -the fires lighted at that time of day, and the little kettles, or pails -rather, filled and put on brimming full of potatoes; then when cooled to -see the feasting—potatoes served with salt. I suppose you would demand -nice Jersey butter, but salt was good enough for us. And this is not all -I have to say of that commission organized from the loyal citizens of -the north. It brought us by the car load, pickled cabbage and onions; -and how refreshing they were to us that had not tasted vegetable food -for eighteen long months. I do not believe there is an old veteran alive -to-day that does not bless from the bottom of his heart, that greatest -and most magnificent of charities ever organized—the Sanitary -Commission. - -We had stayed in camp, as I said, while General Sherman was preparing -for his march to the sea; busy each day with drilling, foraging for -corn, and all the many things necessary to keep companies and regiments -in good shape, as per the army regulations. We had hoped, as had each -regiment of the Army of the Cumberland, that it would be our good -fortune to go with Sherman on his march south, and it was with not a -little chagrin and heartburning that we were not called, neither chosen, -to go on that march, that has been the wonder and admiration of the -military critics of all nations. - -It had been determined by General Sherman that our corps (the 4th), -commanded by General Stanley, and the 23d Corps, commanded by General -Schofield—these two corps, and all other organizations of troops between -Atlanta and Nashville, to be in command of General George H. Thomas. -Howard was placed in command of the army of the Tennessee, whereby we -lost the services of General Hooker. The remainder of the army (save the -brigade of regulars, that were sent back to the top of Lookout mountain -where they would be out of danger) was chosen by General Sherman to make -the march to the sea. But you must not suppose that this choice was made -by reason of any superiority of that portion of the army that went with -him. It had turned out that Corporal Hood had made up his mind that if -Sherman could cut away from his base of supplies, and march south into -the enemy's country, he (Hood) ought to be able to march north, among -his dearly beloved friends; and if Sherman struck a heavy blow south, he -would get in his counter up north. And with the 23d and 4th Corps only, -left by Sherman, Hood had two men to Thomas' one. - -But before passing to the details of the campaign upon which we were -about to enter, suffer me to remark that the same painstaking -preparation by General Sherman that I referred to in the "Atlanta -Campaign," was going forward. The most rigid surgical examination was -had in every company of every man whose health was suspected, or where -there could be anything found that incapacitated him from performing the -supposed arduous duties to be imposed upon him. All that could not stand -this rigid test were sent north. Would you not suppose that many would -have taken advantage of this examination to have gotten rid of a -campaign that seemed fraught with dangers, and so difficult of -execution? On the contrary, I am informed by high authority that those -that were rejected felt themselves grossly insulted and degraded as -soldiers. Neither was this crucial examination confined to the men—the -animals were carefully inspected, and all those not perfectly sound were -sent to the rear, or disposed of in some other way. The same of arms and -accouterments; so that when General Sherman turned his face toward the -salt sea breezes of the Atlantic, he had under his command as hardy, as -healthy, as determined, and as brave an army of veterans as ever caused -the earth to tremble under their tread. - -It now seemed that Hood wanted a little more of the smell of our powder -before he took his little excursion to the mountains of Tennessee, for -we heard he was in force north of Marietta, and was threatening one of -our fortified positions at Altoona Pass, that Sherman had used as a sub- -base of supplies during the Atlanta campaign. So October 3d, 1864, we -broke up camp and marched to within five miles of Marietta, and camped -in the rebel works that had been constructed by them, first, after -leaving their position at Kennesaw mountain. This was good marching, -having started from our camp, three miles east of Atlanta, at four -o'clock p. m. - -The fourth, we struck tents at noon and marched through Marietta to the -front of Kennesaw, and again found the rebel works convenient. Plenty of -rebels reported at Big Shanty, a short distance north. This two days' -marching shows how much easier to retrograde than to advance, in the -face of the enemy. It had taken us to go from Kennesaw mountain to -Atlanta, from July 22d to September 2d, and we had returned in a part of -two days. The fifth we moved out of our camp and marched north to Piny -Knob, and formed in line of battle along the base of the mountain. -Sherman had a signal corps or station on the top of this mountain. Some -of us went up to the station, and we could distinctly see Altoona Pass, -and see the smoke of the battle in progress there, as well as watch the -advancing columns General Sherman was sending forward for the relief of -General Corse, who was gallantly defending the works there, against -overpowering numbers of the enemy. It was here, from this mountain top, -that General Sherman signaled to General Corse "Hold the fort for I am -coming," that some one has immortalized in sacred song. Several of the -old 124th stood not twenty feet from the old general, when this famous -dispatch was being signaled from the top of Piny Knob to the gallant -Corse, who at that time was suffering from a dangerous wound he received -while in the defense he was making. But Hood, evidently, did not care to -fight on equal terms, and withdrew in the direction of Lost mountain, -and afterwards moved in the direction of Rome, Ga.; and Sherman, leaving -Old Pap Thomas to look after and care for Corporal Hood, turned his face -toward the south, and that was the last day of the war we ever saw our -beloved Uncle Billy. It was with a feeling of sadness that we saw him -depart, for we had learned to love and trust in him as we had no other -commander. We marched north through Altoona Pass, which still showed -evidences of the sanguinary conflict that had taken place there. We -marched all night after we went through the Pass, sleeping fifteen -minutes each hour. It was perfectly surprising to see how quickly the -regiment would go to sleep when the halt was sounded. When the assembly -call came it was some trouble to wake the tired soldiers, but usually we -were soon all in line, and marching on for another hour. The next day we -marched all day long, after halting, making coffee, and taking breakfast -near the Etowah river. On this march I first discovered the fact that it -was possible for one to march and be sound asleep, for on waking up I -discovered that no portion of the landscape had a familiar look, showing -that one had been asleep long enough for the landscape to entirely -change by our moving forward. This marching back on the railroad track -was very hard, as the road was not in very good shape, and we were in -danger of falling through trestles; and during the night, every now and -then, some sleepy soldier would get off his guard, and his head would go -down on the rail, making everything jingle. All the sympathy such -unfortunates received would be the shouts and jeers of his comrades to -which he often replied in language _just bordering on the profane_. This -marching did not differ much from day to day, and on the fifteenth day -of October we crossed the Rocky Face mountains. We went out over the -Chickamauga battlefield and saw very many of the bones of our unknown -comrades still unburied, that had fallen there more than a year before. - -What strange feelings come over one as he passes over the field where he -fought, and his loved comrades fell. It seems as though they were with -him again in all of their manly beauty; he can see their stern looks of -defiance; can hear the rattle of the musketry, the thunder of the -artillery, the shouts of victory, the thud of the fatal minie, the dying -groan, the last good-bye; and the specter battle seems as real as when -engaged in the deadly conflict of the year before. The timber was badly -torn down by the shot and shells on that portion of the field over which -we passed. I remember the last day our Colonel Payne was with us. The -regiment was marching left in front that day, and of course that brought -my company next to the colonel and his staff. We made a halt near -Rossville, and laid down on the grass to rest. It was a beautiful Indian -summer evening; and while in conversation with the colonel he informed -me he intended to leave the regiment at Chattanooga; "thought he had -done his part," which was true, having nearly lost his life from a wound -he received at Chickamauga. I was surprised to learn of his intention to -leave us, as this was the first intimation that I had of his intention -to resign; but what surprised me most was the despairing view he seemed -to take of the war. He said to me, "We never can conquer the south, and -if we do children yet unborn will fight in this war." I replied: "They -would have to muster them in pretty young, if they did, and I expect to -see the end of the rebellion the next year." I think it must have been -the depressing effect of our retrograde movement that had taken such a -hold on our brave young colonel, for it did seem to many that all our -arduous campaign to Atlanta had been for naught. - -Many thought it presumptuous in General Sherman to leave a large rebel -army to be opposed by an army of about half its numbers. But General -Sherman knew him that was in command of the rebel army, and knew very -well the grand old Virginian he had intrusted with the taking care of -him. We went into camp around Chattanooga, the place that had been the -scene of so much of sorrow and rejoicing the year before. We soon heard -that Hood was marching for the Tennessee river about Decatur, and we -were put into and on freight cars, and started in the night for that -point. - -A large part of my company was on the top of the cars, and many of them -went to sleep in that dangerous situation and caused me very much -anxiety. Many a time during that night of peril I found a comrade just -on the edge of the car, liable to fall off with any little jolt. I never -remember passing a more perilous night. The next day we "came off the -roof" of the cars, and soon commenced the march northward for Pulaski. - -When we came to the Duck river, that we had crossed the year before at -Manchester, there a mere mountain stream, we found a considerable river, -and so swollen with rains that it gave us considerable difficulty in -crossing. We soon arrived at Pulaski, a beautiful little village in -middle Tennessee. This is the best portion of the state, and so much has -nature done for it, that had it not been for the blighting influence of -slavery, might have truthfully been denominated the garden spot of the -United States. We had not been in Pulaski many days before Forrest's -cavalry appeared on our flanks, and we heard that Hood had crossed the -Tennessee river. We now took the pike again and moved up as far as the -village of Columbia, the home of several distinguished officers of the -confederate army. Here we went into camp, and did considerable -intrenching, our flanks resting on the Elk river. We arrived at Columbia -the twenty-fourth of October, and remained there until the night of the -twenty-ninth. During the day of the twenty-ninth our regiment was sent -up the river to watch a ford, and we watched it nicely, seeing the rebel -infantry crossing all day; but we had no orders to do anything but -watch. That afternoon we heard heavy firing in the direction of Spring -Hill, and we afterwards learned that our first division had been sharply -engaged with Cheatham's division, and had most handsomely checked the -rebel advance. At dark we were called in, and commenced the march -northward again. I should say it was about midnight when Adjutant Hammer -came riding back directing the company commandants to have the men so -adjust their canteens and bayonet scabbards that as little noise be made -as possible, that we were in the immediate presence of the enemy. This -we could hardly believe. Were it possible that the rebels had gotten a -position cutting our army in twain? We believed nothing of the kind, -but, nevertheless, obeyed the order like the true veteran soldiers that -we were. Soon we saw two lines of fires running away to the northeast, -and the left end of the line nearest us was so near the pike one could -have cast a stone into it without much effort. Were it possible these -two lines of bivouac fires represented the two lines of blue and gray -that had been fighting there the afternoon before? It was true. Such -were the facts. And yet our division, the 3d, and a wagon train twelve -miles long, passed along that pike, with all the noise incident to the -moving of a wagon train and artillery attached to our division, without -hindrance or molestation from the enemy. - -Not a shot was fired, not a rebel picket nor skirmish line encountered, -as we passed the left flank of the enemy's line. Yet, they knew we were -there, for several of our men wandered from the column and went over to -the fires to warm, and were captured. Was there treason to the -confederacy? The fighting the next day fully answers that question in -the negative. Hood claims, I am told, that his officers were drunk and -failed to attack as he had ordered, and thereby let our division pass -him at Spring Hill. This may be true, for middle Tennessee makes a kind -of whiskey that will take the W. C. T. U. a long time to eradicate. A -single skirmish line across the pike that night would have so delayed -us, incumbered with the train, as we were (the train could not have been -moved off the pike), that it hardly seems possible that General Stanley -could have reunited the divisions of his corps. Thus was the golden -opportunity of Hood lost. We soon left the rebel fires behind us, and -with our train well ahead, and our divisions united, we had little to -fear from an army commanded by such a general as Hood. I have read -somewhere a confederate account of this transaction, and the writer, -though claiming to have been on the spot, fails to give anything like a -rational reason for the confederate forces letting us pass them October -30th, at Spring Hill. - -The next morning we halted and made coffee beside the pike. While -breakfasting, a squad of rebel cavalry dashed up to the train, fired a -few shots, and were away like the wind. As we neared Franklin we came up -with some new regiments that General Thomas had hurried on from -Nashville, to meet and assist us in case we were forced to a battle -before we reached Nashville. These poor fellows that had been as far -south as Spring Hill, and were returning that morning, were mostly -completely played out, and filled the fence corners all along the pike. -I am sorry to say the hardy veterans that swung along after marching all -night treated them to expressions of which the following are samples: -"Fresh fish." "Fresh fish." "There lies $1000 and a cow." "How much did -you get?" "Say Jimmy, who owns you?" "Millions in it." These poor -fellows, with knapsacks larger than a mule should be required to carry, -received these taunts and jeers with silent disgust; and quite likely -the most of them at this time are drawing pensions for disabilities -received in the service and in the line of duty, while the old veteran -of scores of battles and skirmishes, of hundreds of miles of marches, -though broken in health, and prematurely old by reason of his hard -service, _has no hospital record_, and suffers great difficulties in -establishing his claim for a pension. Something wrong, somewhere, sure. - -We arrived at Franklin about noon, and found the 23d Corps in position -and throwing up works from the Harpeth river above the village to the -river below. With this place we were very familiar. We first came here -in February, 1863. This was our camp of instruction. We assisted in -building the fort, with its large magazine on the north side of the -river and to the left of the village facing south. We that had worked -out many a weary detail asking, "What is all this worth?" "What is this -for, miles—miles from the enemy and the front," had the opportunity, -this thirtieth day of October, 1864, of seeing our labor richly -rewarded. We use to do picket duty north of the river and town, and knew -every foot of that country; and our Lieutenant Colonel Pickands and -Adjutant Hammer enjoyed the reputation of knowing some of the rebel -girls, with which the village swarmed. I remembered one Sally Atkinson, -who lived near our picket line, in fact the line ran through her -father's dooryard, who was a fine player on the piano, and something of -a singer. She, like all the southern women, was a bitter rebel, and used -to entertain the boys with "The bonny blue flag," and other rebel songs. -She often boasted of having two brothers in the rebel service. But more -of this anon. - -Our wagon train was on the north side of the river, pulling out for -Nashville to the full extent of its mule power. Those not familiar may -be interested in a brief description of the field where the battle of -Franklin was fought. The Harpeth river makes quite a sharp bend to the -north, and the formerly very rich village, built very compactly, -occupies the most of the room in the bend. Here, before the war, was the -home of many rich cotton planters, for as you all will remember, this is -the heart of the cotton growing belt of Tennessee. The turnpike running -from the southern part of the state, through Pulaski, Columbia, and on -to Nashville, ran through about the center of Franklin. The Harpeth -river is a small stream, made largely of springs, but running through a -limestone region, lay in deep pools much of its way, that only rendered -it fordable above and below the town. To the left of the pike going -south from town there was a large cotton field, stretching to the left, -nearly to the river, and extending to the south, I should say, from half -to three-quarters of a mile to a line of hills, that rise quite abruptly -and constitute a picturesque landscape. Across this cotton field, from -east to west, ran our works, as I have said, from river above to river -below. At and near the pike, and to the left of the same, was planted -all of the field artillery that we possessed. It was the fortune of our -regiment to be detailed to cross the river, go down below the pike -bridge, intrench the south bank and guard the ford; and while we -witnessed the battle we were not called into it, and did not have -occasion to fire a shot at the point where we were stationed. Our line, -as you will understand from this brief description, was of necessity -short, and in some places was supported by a reserve line. General Hood -came up with his forces and formed his charging columns under the cover -of the hills at the south. He visited each division and brigade, to -which he stated that all the confederate soldiers had to do was to take -the rude works in front of Franklin, Thomas' army would be captured, and -Nashville with all of its vast military stores of clothing, provisions -and ammunition would fall into their hands. That Hood was a good man to -fight, about a division, I think is conceded; but I take it, if Thomas -had been consulted, and could have had the directing of Hood, he would -not have had him done any different from what he did. Hood had in all -arms, about forty-five thousand men when he came before Franklin. He had -about six thousand cavalry, under General Forrest, that instead of using -on our flanks and rear, he sent off to Murfreesborough to take the fort -that was garrisoned by a few regiments of recent enlistment. The fort -was easily defended against Forrest and would have been had his force -been double what it was. Forrest was a raider, but in no sense a -fighter. Schofield had not more than twenty thousand men, all told, some -of which were on duty with the train. But twenty thousand old veterans, -as my old soldier friends will bear me witness here to-day, are hard to -go out and get, especially, if you come straight up to the front door, -and this Corporal Hood, in a very gentlemanly manner, did. - -Hood formed his charging column in three lines, extending across the old -cotton field from east to west; his right reaching the river, his left -resting on the pike. About three o'clock he made his first assault. His -lines came on in fine style. The heavy guns in the fort commenced -shelling unmercifully as soon as the assaulting column emerged from -behind the hills, and when it reached a point near enough the field -artillery opened with shrapnel and canister, making fearful havoc in the -ranks of gray. But nothing daunted those charging lines, led by that -best of fighting generals, Pat Cleburne, came on until they reached a -point within two hundred yards of our works, when our infantry opened -such a murderous fire over that level field that no valor could stand -before its destructive torrent. The assaulting column broke, and the -personal presence of Hood and his daring lieutenant could not rally them -until they were behind the sheltering protection of the hills where they -were first formed. The assault was repeated time after time, until nine -o'clock that night. In one of these assaults the rebels charged to our -works and drove our first line out of them for a short distance; but -Colonel Opdyke's brigade, lying close in the rear, at once charged, -restoring the line and capturing over a thousand prisoners. The rebels -were taken entirely unawares by the charge made by Opdyke's brigade. -When they captured that portion of the line they seemed to think our -forces had left, for Opdyke found them sitting down on the top of the -works; some of them, having laid their guns aside and lighted their -pipes, were enjoying the _solace of the soldier_. - -Our field artillery did most magnificent work, but suffered heavily. One -battery of the Ohio regiment of artillery lost all the men it had at one -gun, save a sergeant, and he loaded and gave the charging column one -dose of canister after his left arm had been blown off. - -This battle of Franklin was one of the most sanguinary, and to the rebel -army one of the most disastrous, of the war. Hood lost four general -officers, among them was the celebrated Pat Cleburne, that our division -had been opposed to so many times on the Atlanta campaign. He fell in -one of the many charges that afternoon, his horse's fore legs resting on -our works. As soon as it was certain that the enemy did not intend to -renew the conflict that night, our troops began to retire to the south -side of the river. The bridge across the stream was covered with -blankets to a depth of six or eight inches, and the artillery was moved -across without noise; and by two o'clock a. m. of the thirty-first of -October the last regiment was on the south side of the river and on the -march for Nashville. Our wounded were left in the village, those that -could not be moved, and surgeons to take care of them. - -About two o'clock that morning Colonel Pickands came to our company and -said "he had orders to leave one company in the position our regiment -had occupied during the battle, and concluded that company B must be the -one." The order was, "that we stay at the ford until orders were -received to abandon it;" said, "he would send back an orderly to notify -us when we could leave;" said, "we might all be captured," and he bade -me an affectionate farewell when he rode away. If any one doubts that -this was an anxious hour for us, he does not duly appreciate the -situation. It would have been nothing for mounted men, but we were -footmen and expected the enemy would send out a squadron of cavalry at -daybreak to ascertain what had become of those that had punished them so -the day before. We listened to the last footfall until it died away up -the stone pike toward Nashville, then all was still. I then went along -the line and told each one of the boys that when we were relieved, or if -attacked before the order came, we would about-face and move back in our -present order, deployed as skirmishers. About three-fourths of a mile to -the south on a gentle elevation was a poplar grove, and I insisted to -the boys that if we could maintain our line, in case of an attack, -either before or after the order of relief came, we could make a -splendid fight even against cavalry in those woods. I knew I could rely -upon the boys. I knew any 124th man could be relied upon during the -war—and since. Then we had nothing to do but wait. Not a sound was heard -across the river in Franklin, in the direction of the enemy. Sodom and -Gomorrah were not stiller after they received the sulphurous shower, -than was that intensely rebel village and their friends near the hills -beyond. The day-god began to streak the east with his golden rays, and -still no order came. No cheerful cockcrowing was heard as a harbinger of -the dawning day. The last rooster in the confederacy had been eliminated -long years before. Day began to break, and we strained our eyes up and -down the river and in the direction of Franklin, to see the approaching -foe, but all was still as death. Had we been forgotten? Had something -happened to the orderly? What good could we do by staying? But the order -was imperative, "stay until ordered away," and orders must be obeyed, -even if the brave men on this severe duty were relegated to captivity. -It was now broad daylight, and no orderly in sight. But no rebel cavalry -in sight either. The situation was strangely interesting in the extreme. -All at once we heard the ringing clatter of a horse's hoofs, and looking -up the pike—coming down the hill at breakneck pace—_came the orderly at -last_. Talk about sweet strains of music—not Theodore Thomas' orchestra, -rendering one of Beethoven's symphonies, could ever sound as sweetly as -the ringing of those hoof-beats on that limestone pike that October -morning. Riding up to me he said: "Captain, remove your men," and -turning his steed toward Nashville was soon out of sight over the hill. -We immediately began to _remove_. The order was obeyed, not only with -willingness, but with wonderous alacrity. We double-quicked in line -until we came to the poplar grove, when we, seeing no signs of pursuit, -came into column on the pike, and with a long step toward the front, and -a sharp lookout toward the rear, we rapidly measured off the miles in -the direction of Nashville. About eight o'clock that morning we came up -with the rear guard, and soon the balance of the regiment, making coffee -and breakfasting by the road side. We were greeted by the colonel and -the regiment with exclamations of joy. I told the colonel I was afraid -he had forgotten us, but he insisted we had not been out of his mind a -minute since he left us, which I have no doubt was true. But when the -facts came to be known, we were not in the least danger. Had we known at -that time that old Corporal Hood had so kindly sent all of his cavalry -away to Murfreesborough, where they could do him no good, and us no -possible harm, we would have stayed, made coffee, and eaten breakfast -before starting. In fact, I have no doubt some of the boys would have -been over in the village looking for "Robinson County," where they used -to find it while on picket months before. But, all in all, a portion of -the old 124th were the last union soldiers to leave Franklin, after the -bloody battle of the thirtieth of October, 1864. - -But war has its sad features, even for an enemy as dishonorable and as -thoroughly hated as were the rebels. The beautiful village of Franklin -was riddled with shot and shell. The great cotton field to the south was -thickly covered with the graves of the confederate soldiers. The two -brothers of the sweet singer of rebel songs were both killed within a -few rods of their dear old home. But on the other hand, Miss Sally -Atkinson, after the war, _became the kind and loving wife of an officer -on General Thomas' staff, emblematical of the restored Union_. - -The thirty-first we marched to Nashville, and the first of December took -our position on the line extending around the city, from the Tennessee -above to the river below. The line was a long one and necessarily thin. -Everything was in a bustle of excitement in the city. Hood was expected -to arrive and invest the city every hour. The gunboats were busy puffing -up and down the river looking after the flanks of our lines and the -various fords above and below. Every soldier in the hospitals that could -possibly perform duty was sent to the front. All the laborers that were -enlisted as such, and everyone that could use a pick and shovel, was -pressed into the service and set at work on the intrenchments. Every -private horse in the city was taken for the cavalry or artillery. The -right of ownership of private property, as applied to horseflesh, was in -no sense respected. Dan Castello's circus was performing at Nashville at -the time, and every horse was confiscated. Mrs. Lake's celebrated trick -horse, Czar, was the only one left, and that was undoubtedly owing to -the feeling of chivalry every true soldier has for a lady. We had been -in Nashville two days, I think, when Hood came up very leisurely and -formed his lines well out from ours. He did not act like business, and -evidently had not recovered from the terrible drubbing he had received -at Franklin. It was now midwinter in the climate of Tennessee, the mud -was deep, and it rained and sleeted almost every day. Hood did not even -ask for a skirmish, and his was the saddest army of investment that ever -encompassed a city. General Thomas was busy issuing clothing to his -army, and especially shoes, as our foot gear had been sadly demoralized -by the long march over stony roads and railway tracks back from Atlanta. -Our portion of the line ran in front of the Acklin Place, a charming -villa residence, built at an expense of a million and a half of dollars. -The owner was a Mr. Acklin, a wealthy Englishman, who, at his own -expense, fully armed and equipped a regiment of confederate infantry, -named for him "The Acklin Rifles." This Mr. Acklin _was not at home_, so -General Thomas took his spacious mansion for corps and division -headquarters. I am satisfied that never before was army headquarters so -ornamented with such paintings and marbles. We, on the outside, were -equally well off, for the spacious grounds were surrounded by nicely -built stone walls that were worked into chimneys noiselessly as was the -building of Solomon's Temple, and though not quite as ornamental, were -quite as useful, as that fabled temple of the olden time. The ornamental -trees did not make first-rate firewood on account of being green, but we -had not time for them to dry, and had to get along with them as best we -could. Here we had plenty of rations; and vegetables of all kinds were -issued to us in great abundance. The greatest evil we were compelled to -suffer, while here, was the sale of intoxicating liquor to the soldiers -in the city. The large majority of our regiment were reasonably -temperate men; but, I am sorry to be compelled to say that there was a -large amount of drunkenness in the army that made the men difficult to -control, and caused very many to lose their lives. Drunken officers in -command was a terrible evil. - -I suppose no city in the United States ever had so bad a population as -the city of Nashville during the winter of 1864-5. The thieves, gamblers -and disreputable of both sexes, swarmed in from all over the country, -and at one time the demimonde became such a plague that General Thomas -loaded a steamboat with them and sent them to Louisville, but the -authorities there refused to let them land, and what became of them I -never knew; it may be they were destroyed for the good of the service. -It was no uncommon thing to find two or more dead soldiers, murdered in -an unsavory locality known as Smoky Row, every morning, and the original -inhabitants of the city were none too good to murder a union soldier if -they found him in a condition not to be able to take care of himself. If -there ever was a city that should have been disposed of as Atlanta and -Columbia were, that city was Nashville. But things were getting ripe for -action. Every day troops in squads, detachments and regiments, were -coming in by river and by rail. The 17th Army Corps, commanded by that -gray-headed old hero (noted for his choice (?) English), General A. J. -Smith, came up and took position at the right of our corps. General -Stedman, that did such good work with the reserve corps at Chickamauga, -commanded a division of colored troops on the extreme left, while more -artillery than was ever before made ready for battle, was being put into -position. There were grave apprehensions that Hood would cross the river -and move into Kentucky, as Bragg had done in 1862. The government at -Washington became alarmed, and sent General John A. Logan to relieve -General Thomas. It did seem that the General was terribly slow, but he -was preparing to give the rebel army such a crushing blow that when he -did strike no second blow would be necessary. General Logan came as far -as Louisville, and learning how General Thomas was situated and what he -was doing, refused to supersede him though he had the orders in his -pocket to that effect. _Was there a regular officer in the union service -that would have been that magnanimous?_ - -The morning of the fifteenth of December opened with everything about -our lines and camps veiled in an impenetrable fog. One could not see a -man ten feet away. Under the cover of this fog General Thomas opened a -demonstration on the enemy's right that caused Hood to weaken his left -to support his right. About ten o'clock a. m., as soon as the fog had -lifted a little, Thomas sent the dashing Kilpatrick in on Hood's extreme -left, followed by a charge from General A. J. Smith's entire corps. -General Smith's men simply ran over the rebels. When the rebel left had -been badly shattered by the charge made by Smith, and when the firing -showed the rebel line was crumbling, the 4th Corps in the center was -ordered in, and away we all went across an open field toward the rebel -works. The rebels in our front occupied a strong position behind a stone -wall that they had materially strengthened, but seemed to be dazed by -the impetuosity of the charge on the left and center, and hardly fired a -shot. I think in this charge our brigade captured more of the enemy than -we had men in line. When we passed the stone wall there was not an armed -rebel in front of us that we could discover. The firing was over along -the entire length of the line, and some of us thought that we had taken -all the rebels there were out there. I am of the opinion of all the -artillery firing we ever experienced, that of the battle of Nashville -was the most intense. When the cavalry commenced the charge on the -right, every gun in Fort Negley commenced firing, as well as all the -other forts and all the field and reserve artillery about Nashville. Of -all the pandemonian scenes we ever witnessed, this was the climax. The -firing was so intense and ceaseless that not an individual gun could be -distinguished, but there was one dreadful roar of shot and shell, and -all along the rebel lines and beyond, the bursting missiles filled the -air with clouds of smoke. I do not believe its equal was ever before -witnessed on the American continent, if in the world. - -We pushed on to the front and found no enemy, and for some unexplained -reason did nothing more that day. If we had advanced in line of battle -immediately after the charge in the morning, I am firmly in the belief -that there would have been no second day's battle. On the second day we -moved to the front early in the morning, and found that the enemy had -gathered his scattered ranks, and had taken and fortified a position, -his line running across the Franklin pike. Our regiment was at the left -of the pike in an open wood. Our regiment was also at the left of the -brigade, and joined the right of Stedman's division of colored troops. -Colonel Post, by reason of seniority of rank, had command of our -brigade, and had been in command since the 89th Ill. had been added to -us at Atlanta. It seemed the same tactics were resorted to the second -day as the first, and at four o'clock p. m. we could distinctly hear -Smith's infantry hammering away directly in the rear of the rebel line. -All the afternoon Colonel Post had been soliciting General Wood to order -our brigade to charge the rebel position on the Franklin pike, but could -not obtain the consent of the old general, as he (Wood) said the charge -would result in driving the rebels away, while by waiting we could get -all of them without any trouble or loss. This was great big sense, and -there was not an officer or man in the brigade, save Colonel Post, that -did not realize the fact. But our brigade commander was anxious for a -star, and as old Tommy became more _spiritually-minded_, he consented to -let the old second brigade charge. The rebels had good rifle pits, but -nothing so strong as on the Atlanta campaign; but near the pike they had -a battery of field artillery, some of the guns of which had been -disabled early in the day. At the order to charge we moved on in fine -form until we came near the works, when the rebels opened on us with -canister that momentarily checked our advance. The colored infantry on -our left seemed to receive the most of the rebel fire, as Stedman's -division was in such a position that as soon as they came in range they -were enfiladed for more than three hundred yards of their line, and -consequently they suffered much more severely than our brigade. I never -saw more heroic conduct shown on the field of battle than was exhibited -by this body of men _so recently slaves_. I saw a color-bearer of one of -these regiments stand on the top of the rebel parapet and shake the flag -he bore in the faces of the confederate infantry until he fell, riddled -with bullets. Soon after this, owing to a slight accident of war, your -humble servant was compelled to go to the rear. But I remember (while -lying on a stretcher) I heard the shout of the old regiment (that I -could tell as I could my mother's voice), as they carried the rebel -works. - -What I know about the remainder of the battle of Nashville, and the -pursuit of Hood, you of the old regiment and brigade know better than I. -The rebel infantry ran away, just as old Tommy had said they would. This -charge was a terribly severe and useless mistake. We had two brave young -officers, Payne[4] and Dempsey, killed, and many noble men killed and -wounded. And all for what? To gratify the ambition of an officer that -desired promotion. "What is ambition? 'Tis a glorious cheat." - -Footnote 4: - - An own cousin of our colonel. - -Colonel Post was badly punished for this foolish and needless charge he -had gotten us into. He received a canister shot through his right thigh -that nearly cost him his life, and in addition to that suffering _he was -elected to Congress from one of the districts of Illinois_. - -[Illustration: - - _LIEUTENANT SAMUEL B. PAYNE._ - - _Killed at the battle of Nashville Dec. 16th, 1864._ -] - -Hood's army was completely destroyed. When the second day of the battle -of Nashville was over, Hood had not a single infantry regiment in -organization. Forrest's cavalry was all the soldiers on which he could -rely. He lost every piece of artillery, every wagon. Many of his men -were recruited in Tennessee and Kentucky, and after the battle was over -they threw away their arms and accouterments and went to their homes, -never to enter the service again. The war in the west was substantially -over. Our regiment never fired another shot after the charge on Overton -Heights. They did some marching and quite a considerable traveling, -going as far on one occasion as Warm Springs, N. Car. But their fighting -service was over, and I believe we never lost a man after Nashville. -Corporal Hood, of the confederate army, was never heard from again, and -between Nashville and Atlanta there were not troops enough wearing the -gray to hinder General Thomas' army for one hour. - -While the campaign from Atlanta to Nashville closed with the battle, -before ending this very imperfect sketch suffer me to refer to the last -scene at Nashville. The spring of 1865 had come. The long bloody, cruel -war was over. The wounds had healed. We were in camp in the vicinity of -Nashville, knowing we would soon be discharged and go to our own loved -Ohio. A grand review of all the troops about Nashville was ordered. It -was to be the last good-bye of "Old Pap Thomas" to the brave men he had -led so long. Never before was such preparation made for a review. Every -piece of leather, every piece of brass and steel, was burnished as -bright as time could make it. Never saw I the old regiment turn out in -such fine shape. All the remnants of the old bands we had were revived, -as far as possible. New sheepskin was in great demand. I cannot now tell -whether the wheezy old band that General Hazen had at Manchester was in -existence at that time, or whether it had been sacrificed for the good -of the service _and given harps_, as it should have been, long before. -The column for review was formed in divisions of regiments, that is, two -companies to the division. General Thomas and staff were stationed on a -gentle eminence, the bands playing, the old tattered colors flying, and -as each regiment came opposite the "Rock of Chickamauga," every hat came -off, and such cheers went up as had not greeted the old general since -the storming of Missionary Ridge. Just a little drawing about the mouth -was all the expression one could discover in the iron face of the grand -old Virginian. - -A few years afterward I stood by the last resting place of General -George H. Thomas in the beautiful cemetery at Troy, N. Y., and while -standing there I thought, "here lies the remains of a proud southerner, -that 'faithful among the faithless stood,' that loved his native state -as well as any, but loved his country better, and few, if any, in life -did more to keep the flag of our Union waiving over a free and united -country." - - - - - 124th Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry. - THREE YEARS' SERVICE. - - -This Regiment was organized at Camp Cleveland, O., from August to -September, 1862, to serve three years. It was mustered out of service -July 9, 1865, in accordance with orders from the War Department. - -The official list of battles in which this Regiment bore an honorable -part is not yet published by the War Department, but the following list -has been compiled after careful research during the preparation of this -work: - - THOMPSON'S STATION, TENN., MARCH 4-5, 1863. - CHICKAMAUGA, GA., SEPTEMBER 19-20, 1863. - LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, TENN., NOVEMBER 24, 1863. - MISSION RIDGE, TENN., NOVEMBER 25, 1863. - ROCKY FACE RIDGE, GA., MAY 5-9, 1864. - RESACA, GA., MAY 13-16, 1863. - PICKETT'S MILLS, GA., MAY 27, 1864. - BROWN'S FERRY, TENN., OCTOBER 27, 1864. - FRANKLIN, TENN., NOVEMBER 30, 1864. - NASHVILLE, TENN., DECEMBER 15-16, 1864. - - - - - ROSTER - OF THE - 124th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry. - - - FIELD AND STAFF. - - Mustered in from Aug. 20, 1862, to Feb. 28, 1864, at Cleveland, O., by - J.
