strongly cumulative that we cannot argue
against it. Though we have been reared
and raised in 4 slaveholding community,
we must acknowledge that slavery has
sapped our energies, and that it has inn
peded our onward march 70 prosperity
and wealth. [Applause. In the same
spirit Of cAndor that / have brought to
the consideration of this question, go
home and get your census reports and
study them all over, and see il thinking
men can come TO any other reasonable
conclusion.
The question Of Emancipation now is
forced upon us. IL is no longer matter
Of choice. You must have labor; you
cannot have slave labor what labor will
you havep What labor can you have
other than free lAbOr2 The rebellion has
brought this question home to us. We
must meet it like men. The only thing
that is left to us, IS q question OF policy,
is at once 10 call our Convention, TO Eman-
cipate the slave upon some carefully do
vised, some well considered plan, TO in
sutute new system of labor, and then
call upon old Maryland 10 awake from
her lethargy, TO lean good upon the
strong arm of free labor, and place her,
self in fair competition with the free
States of the North.
There is no alternative left us. We
are bound to take up the question now in
all its bearings; and after turning il over
and over in our minds and viewing IL in
every conceivable light, the conclusion is
inevitable, that Maryland must be Free
State. Men, who had examined the SUBJ
ject, came to the conclusion more than
two years ago. They saw it coming.
There is now crisis in our affairs, and
if we are wise we will avail ourselves OF
it. We will assert our right as freemen
to decide our destiny for ourselves. We
will determine, now and forever, that free
white men are not degraded by manly
toll TO level with the slave, and that
hereafter free labor shall consecrate our
efforts, and bring down the blessings OF
God upon our people.
Fellow citizens, q new era has dawned
on Maryland. From the smoke and
blood of mighty war, waged TO per-
petuAte human bondage, new principles
have leaped into existence, fully armed
aggressive, already half Victorious
Speech and opinion have been liberated
and alrea iy thousands who but falsely
Were cropping darkly in the midst o
doubts and uncertainties, who acknowl
edge but yesterday they stood appalled,
before the power of a direful superstition
now clearly see fast coming as an act o
God q decree Of liberty aud progress TO
Maryland. Great applause.

tor, Of the 1lth Mich.
About two o'clock in the afternoon the
enemy made spirited attack upon the
left Of Gen Brsnnsn's line apparently
driving our men from the hill.
OoL Stoughton Immediately led the 10Th
Ill, and llth Mich, 20 their support.
These regiments charged over the brow
of the hill in gallant style driving the
enemy before them and repulsing his
attack
Soon after Col. Stoughton was informed
by Brig, Gen John BoAtly'who was ac,-
ively engaged in this part of the field
and also by Gen. BrAnnan that this hill
Commanding the approach to RoSsville)
must be held and directed to use the
forces under his command for that pur-
pose.
He promptly placed the llth Michigan
on the right, and the 10Th Illinois on the
left, partially covering themselves with
breAstworks hastily thrown up. The
1S'h Ohio was left in its former position
to support a section Of the 4th u. s.
Artillery. Col, Hunter, of tho s2nd In
diana, Col. Hays, of the 10th Kentucky,
and the 9th Ohio, were still further 10

lucky, at the request Of Col, StOughton,
took position between the 18th Illinois
and llth Michigan, aud held IL till night.
Scarcely were these arrangements
completed when the enemy again ad-
vanced in heavy force, and contest en-
sued which has few parallels. The enc
my fought with the utmost fury and de-
termination, bnt were met by display
OF courage and endurance which sur
passed their own aud knew no defeat
AS fast az their ranks were thinned bV
our fire they were filled up by fresh
troops; they pressed forward until they
planted their colors within few feet Of
our breAstworks. Five times was their
color bearer shot down and still another
would take his place. 1t was growing
late--the enemy still pressed on, and our
sm~'--i''-- vas giving out. Bat our
resources were not yet exhausted. Col
stoughton ordered up the 18th Ohio. and
rAllying every man that could be Rot
charged on the enemy His lines broke
in wild disorder and that part Of ,hs
of the field was ours.
About 9 o'clock orders came 10 retire
and this brigade was the last TO leave the
field. The loss Of the three regiments
from this brigade engaged was heavy,
being a total of 2s7 killed, wounded, and
missing, out of less than 900 effective
men.
Ia conclusion, the old 2nd Brigade Of
the 2nd division Of tho 18th Army Corps
proudly stands by its record

OHATTANOooA, Oct I5, I9I

sW@ CHATTANOOGA, Oct. 10, 1868.
Editor Nashville Union
Sir-The account of the battle Of
ChickAmauga, published in your issue
OF the 10Th inst, although in the main
perhaps correct, yet contains one state
ment 30 at variance with the fact and
the truth of history, that ii ought not,
in Justice, to pass unnoticed. The de-
fense of the crest of the hills along Mis-
sionary Ridge, commanding the road to
ROssviIle and Chattanooga, against over
whelming forces of the enemy on the
goth of September was in itself a glorious
victory; and il cannot be that any Of the
brave men engaged in that terrible con-
test would desire to wear upon their
brows the hard earned lsurels of other
commands. 1.E ac
The error referred TO, contained in the
following sentence, was doubtless .unin-
territorial, but none the less grievous on
that account:
A portion Of Negley's forces, however
also in a confused state, had been rallied
by Gen. Brannsn on the hill; with the
remainder Negley had retired on Ross
willie, and these various fragments were
organized as we'll as the circumstances
would allow, and with the valuable as
sistance of Smiths battery, had been
enabled, though hard pressed, 10 hold the
hill against great odds, until The arrival
of Col. Vandeveer with his brigade tho
roughly organized, though weak, fresh
from it's late charge, and Of Granger,
with SteAdman's division from Rossville.
Without criticising too closely this
loosely worded sentence, it is sufficient
to say that one brigade OF Negley's di-
visio n was hotly engaged upon hill on
the IL of Gen. Brannan's line during
the afternoon, and until eight o'clock a
night, on the goth of September--thA
this brigade was not rallied by Genera
Brannan or any one else, except its owr
officers and that il was not "in oolfu'ec
state" at any time during that day oI
since,
This Brigade, (tho End OF the 2nt
Division 14th, A. o. was composed o
the 11th Michigan, Col StoughtOn, the
