lates an amusing anecdote Of the Coiouei
commanding cur forces in playing Il rAss OIL
the enemy. Our cavalry and in fSntry ad.
Yanced in a thick fog. and got into an eX-
posed situation. The foe were firm ut her
from u corniield and from under a bridge,
and our men, unable 10 them, had 10 re
turn the fire at random. At leQRth, Col
Battle, a pOrtly, gray-hairpd OLD gentleman,
rode torWdrl and cried out, with l. terri ole
~ Ia al Il in,
fantry, and let the artillery come forward. -
There wac not single piece of artillery, yer

instantly rose, like Il flock of iii geese, and
ron, when destructive Tolleys were poured
ito them.
During recent tour through rtions OF
Est Tennessee, several interesting facts came
10 my notice. One is, that many strong Union
men Were converted to the Southern GAUGE by
F'remont's proclamation. Another painful
TACT is, that in some localities Southern men
have passed through a terrible ordeal, through
lear OF violence from the tnionists around
hem. One gentleman told me tn 1T for six
weeks he did not sleep on an average two
noure night and on many nights did not go
to bed at all, but sat up to watch and guard
ais premises.
