a Coon SATISG.-The quotation "give
them little more grape, Capt. Bragg"
seems to have been investigated and
turns out to be a sentinel not so quotable,
though quite "a strong. A letter in the
New York Herald says:
Years ago, not very long after the bat
tie, the writer mentioned to near rela.
tive of Col. Bragg the preposterousneSs OF
the anecdote, and expressed a curiosity tC
know what Gen. Taylor really did say
Col. Braggs relative replied, al can tell
YOU exactly what he said. The fact is
Braxton Capt. Bragg was critically situ
ated. Part of his battery had been dis
mounted. and so many Of his men shot
down that there were not enough left tC
work the remainder. The enemy's bat
teries had been pushed up very close, anG
the fire was severe and deadly. An aid
de-camp riding along, Braxton asked hin
TO go and tell "the old man" in another
part of the feld) how he was situated
and what was to be done about it. Gen
Taylor received this message IN the crisi
of the battle, when the result was doubt
full. and when the flower Of his little ar
my. including many sons of his lifelon,
friends. had fallen before his eyes. The
| entire force was engaged there was n,
question. When the aid delivered tn
message, Gen. Taylor's only reply was
Tell him 20 give 'em hell, God damn 'em,
| This was exactly what the old man said
and was Immediately reported as such b
the aid-de-camp to Braxton, and BraxtoI
| told me-"
