EDITORs LEADER: You have no doubt
been apprised Of the return of KOnkles
Battery to Kentucky. On the 9th Of Au-
gust, escorted by WslfOrd's Kentucky Cav
airy, we marched from Columbia TO Muir
freesboro, arriving at the latter place the
10th inst, and remained until the 18th,
when we took the cars for Nashville, ar
irving there the same day. August Dist
we received orders to move to Bowling
Green. We reached the latter place Satur-
day night, the 28d, accomplishing the
journey (65 miles, in ifty-two hours. The
9th Indiana, 18th Pennsylvania, and
Shultz's Battery, accompanied us as an es-
cort to Major General Nelson, Brigadier
Generals James g. Jackson, (EK-COngress-
mani of Kentucky, Charles Craft and NJ
D. Manson, of Indiana, who we're on their
way to take command under Nelson in his
new department
At Franklin the Generals and their re-
spective aids embarked on a special
train for Louisville, the 18th Pennsylvania
and Shultzs Battery turned back TO Gal
latin, while the gallant Indiana 9th es-
corted us through to Bowling Green, where
we arrived safely Saturday evening.
Sunday morning we took the cars fer
this place reaching here the morning Of
the 25th. The Goth, I'D and 18th Indiana
regiments Of infantry, (all new regiments
and the 9Th Kentucky Cavalry, we're here
on our arrival, and yesterday four COM
panies Of the 4th Indiana Cavalry arrived
direct from Indianapolis. As our boys
are the only cid troops at this place, they
are greatly bored by the Hoosiers,' and
have a great deal of sport at the latter's
expense They (the HOosiers) think SOL
diering the incest life in the world, but if
l am not sadly mistaken the majority Of
them will hold different opinions a year
hence.
The 4lst Ohio is or was at MurfreesbOrO,
Tenn, under the command Of Major Wiley,

I
gentlemanly young Orderly Sergeant,
George C.. Dodge, Jr., Of Cleveland. Ser
geant Dodge has been constantly with the
4ist since its organization. He was pu-
pil of De Villiers, and cannot be excelled
in infantry tactics. / trust ere long t
hear Of his promotion, as he is in every
way qualified to make first class officer
Captains Kimberly, Proctor and Morgan
and Lieutenants Gaylord, Beebe, BLYTHE
and Cutler-all of whom are from Cleve
land-were well, and in a high state o
preservation, when 1 left.
Bartletfs Battery was at Nashville III

was gaining slowly. Lieut.. Osborn ha
gone home on sick furlough. DR.. Anne

The stores are all open here, and as tn
new troops have a plentiful supply of tn
necessary, the shopkeepers are kept toilet
ably busy.
Gen. Dumont, of Indiana, is command
ant Of the post.
We are probably destined for Cumbel
land Gap, to reinforce Gen. Morgan. W
expect to have a rough time there, prObi
bty equal to our Eastern Kentucky tril
We have this moment received orders
have everything in readiness to move at
moments notice, nevertheless we may n
march for several days. Ed. 7. P.
From a letter dated the 30th, we leal
that the battery had orders to msye Il
next morning at daylight, with three day
cooked rations. 1t was ordered to repo
at Danville, IS miles distant, and won
probably be then ordered forward to Gun
berland Gap.
