FROM LAG AloAN-tAE 1lel
In our accounts Of th5 defense Of Kuoxville
fron tho Yankee raiders, we UninteneOaally
omitted to notice the daring conduct of, and
Efficient seryic rendered By Capt. WHY'S
Georgia battery. This battery IS composed
principally Of young men from Atlanta, Ga,
and its vicinity, and IS attached 20 Major Ley
den's battalion. On Friday they bad made
forced march from this city, ever rough reads
to Isisnd Eera, distance Of twenty-five miles
Here courier Oycrteok the battalion with a
reqsisision for a battery to return to Knoxville.
WHY'S battery was selected, and, jaded and
faegRsd as were both men aud horsss, they re-
traced their steps with such expedition as to
reach the vicinity of the city by 7 o'clock Sat
urday morning. Here they found q large f0Tcs
Of cavalry and infantry drawn up in line Of bat
| tie between .bem and the city. Several officers
/ in the rear politely shluted the battery with
/ their swords, and Captain WHY was at a loss
to know whether they were friends or foes. In
his emergency, young man eff his company
drew a whita handkerchief and rode boldly up
TO tho eficers men.iousd, and ssesrtained that
they were the raiders, UPon communicating
the fact IS the Captain, he Immediately Plsc9d
his gan in position, and issued orders as if for
attack. This threw the enemy's lines into me-
mentsry confdsioa, taking advantage of which,
tho guns were limbersd aud the battery dashed
through them and Iesehed the city in safety,
notwithstanding they were fired upon By our
piCksts, who mistoek them in their hesdlong
oDt. se, for the enemy. This feat has been pro
Roaaeed by experisncei military men to be one
