BRAGG AND KR BRECKENRIDGE,

A rcrcrt comes OF doubtful reliability
that Brcckinridge has shot Bragg ct Talla-
horua. 1t may be true, but will require
some fnrther confirmation. The story has,
however, this foundation: that bitter feud
has for months past prevailed among these
rebel chiefs.
The visit Of jeff Davis to Murffeesboro
in December, 1862, was solely for the pur-
pose ofrcconciling Bragg and Breckinr1dge
and restoring order among the mutinous
kentucky troops. The cause of this m,1-
tiny and quarrel was the enforcement Of
the penalty in the case of Kentucky de-
scrter. The law had not been enforced
r7gid]y BY Bragg, and on getting court
martial to condemn Kentucky soldier
named Asa Lewis, Of Capt Pages COM
pany, 9Th Kentucky, he approved the sen
tcnce Of death, coupled with a verbal re-
mark, that *'he'd be damned if he didn't
make an example Of the accursed Kcntuck-
lans.' Lewis had distinguished himself at
Shiloh, and was highly popular with his
Comrades, who refused to allow him to be
executed. Brcckinridge also swore that
the man should not be executed, and the
whole army WAS soon in mutia-
Gus state, the Tcnncssccans sweaains
vengeance if dcserter from the 24th
Tennessee was executed, and the Alabama
troops c!ain,ing exemption for one of their
number: Bragg in despair, unable to quell
the storm he had raised, called on Prcsi-
dent Davis, who visited the scene, and
tluellcG the storm, By what means is not
known. Lewis and the Alabamian were
executed on the day after Christmas.
