A SPECIMEN OF SOUTHERN CnIvALRr-A
veracious story it told of Gen Tilghman, who
was extremely pompous and egostistic after
his surrender, and declared to some of Gen.
Grants staff that he had given his sword TO
Commodore Foote and not Gen. Grant ;
whereupon he was informed that Foote
had the right to place him under charge Of
any lieutenant in the army, and that he
should have reflected of what his position
AS prisoner would be before he yielded,
If he was so excessively punctil;ous. On
board the steamer New Uncle Sam, the head
quarters of Gen. Grant, Tilghman asked that
supper should he prepared for his privates,
but was informed the rule was confined to
the commissioned officers. and that his men
could be supplied only with rations. "You
have no objection, then, to giving twenty
eight of my men supper if pay for it, have
you ?" The answer was in the negative. and
supper was accordingly prepared. As soon
as it was finished, the rebel general remarked
to the steward of the boat. '' have nothing
but Tennessee money and know YOU do not
want that" and coolly walked away.
