Gen. Polk and the Color Bearer.

A young officer at Shelbyville
writes thus to a friend in Richmond
Yesterday l had the honor to ride
around the camps with Lieut. Gen.
Polk and Gen. Cheatham, who were
on . grand inspecting tour The
camps all looked in fine order, the guns
bright and tho mon in the very best
spirits.
Gen. Polk, after questioning Col.
McMurray about the condition of his
regiment, said. Where is the color
bearer? Sergeant Oakley, d young
man about eighteen or twenty years
old, stepped ont in front of the whole
regiment, dressed in common butter
rut jeans, with real honesty and unaf
iected manner and took off his cap
Gen. Polk ungloved his hand and
said Il must shake hands with you"
and thep raising his hat, said with great
feeling and real martial eloquence, |
am proud to uncover in the presence
of SO gallant man" The effect was
tremendous and q shout rent tho air.
This young Oakley at the battle of
Murtreesboro' advanced two hundred
yards in front Of his regiment under a
terrible FIRE. A battery was playing
upon the regiment, and it was uncer.
tain whether 1T was our battery or
that of tho enemy. This color bearer
advanced in front, displaying bis colors
in q conspicuous manner, so as TO stop
the Sring il they were friends, or 10
make it more intense if they were
enemies. The Increased severity OF
the firing which Immediately followed
determined the doubt and showed
them to belong to the enemy. lie
then deliberately resumed his place in
the line. We slenced thoir battery
and drove back the opposing column
The high compliment which Gen Polk
paid him made that young man as
proud as a king. 1t WAS an honor
greater than the Star or Garter. He
and the whole regiment will fight until
tho last mau falls,

to our support, but it was unnecessary,
for the Feds were beaten and white
flag brought to our lines several hun
drcd prisoners. We moved now in the
direction of the retreating columns
haltlng at night we bivouached within
few hundred yards Of their skirmish
ers In the morning (Monday), to
prevent their massing their forces and
cutting through our lines, we were put
to work on Notifications, and in about
two hours our whole line was made
impregnable against Yankees. We re
mained all day expecting they would
make some demonstration, but we
were disappointed. Monday night our
regiment was deployed as skirmishers
along the entire front OF our brigade,
about mid way between our own and
the Yankee lines. The firing during
the night was rapid and regular--not
much execution was done however.
On Tuesday we had considerable
storm and during that night the enemy,
under the protection of darkness and
spurred on by our artillery, decamped.
Nothing of Importance has occurred
since our return to camp. Ewell now
commands this corps and Heith our
division
We have sustained great loss in
the death Of Gen. Jackson.
All is now quiet along the river, and
no one would suppose that great bat
tie had beon fought. The camps are
unchanged-the first time (I belicve)
in the history Of this war when troops
were not shifted to new positions after
an engagement.
Our loss in officers at this battle was
very small. s. Estill was slightly
wounded, and also Capt. Turney.

CAMP GREGG, May II, 1869.

DEAR COLONEL: / wrote you few

marches, position and the result Of our
expedition against the Feds.
On the morning of the Goth April,
Just as we had concluded the ccromo
MES Of breakfast, we received orders
to be in readiness to move at moments
warning. As this order smacked very
much Of the manner of olden times,
we just contented ourselves in tho faith
that il was "scaW crow" started TO
get up sensation, Or to prevent Us
from sleeping or our posts But our
dreams OF quiet were soon scattered
by the appearance Of another courier
/ with orders for us to move immediate

quick in the direction Of Hamilton's
crossing. On arriving there We saw
unmistakabe evidences Of o coming
light, Heavy lines Of skirmshcrs were
in front, and Yankee balloons foated
above the Stafford Heights in bold view
Of our front. We were placed in the
Nenchcs on the crest to the left OF the
psition we occupied at Fredericksburg
about II miles,. We remained vt this
point until about day light O. the lSt

at this point was bittor but brief. We
