The Youngest Soldier in the Army of
the Cumberland.
Last evening at the Caledonian supper
Gen. Rosecraus exhibited the photograph
OF boy who be said was the youngest
soldier in the Army Of the Cumberland.
His name is Johnny Glenn, 12 years OF
age, member Of Company C, 29d
Michigan Infantry. His home is a,
Newark, Ohio. He first attracted Rose.
GRAMS attention during review at Nash
vile, where he was acting as marker for
his regiment. His extreme youth (he
is quite small Of his age) and intelligent
appearance interested the General, and
calling him out, he questioned as to his
name, age, regiment, DC. Gen. Rose
Grams spoke encouragingly to the young
soldier, and told him to come and see
him whenever he oame where he was.
He saw no more of Glenn until Satur.

waiting to see him. Johnny had exper-
fenced some OF the vicissitudes of war
since last they met.
He had been captured by Wheeler's
cavalry near Bridgeport. His cap,ors
took him to Wheeler who salu,ed him
with
"What are you doing here. you d--d
little Yankee scoundrel ?"
Said Johnny Glenn, stoutly--" Gener-
al Wheeler, am no more id scoun

he had, including his pocket book with
only twenty-five cents. But / would

heard man say this morning, that he
saw them wholesaleing the beverage at
$500 pint. There may be many OBJ
jections to marshall law, yet suppressing
the liquor traffic is great argument in
favor of it. There is recruiting office
here, where refugees from rebel con-
scription come up and declare their al
legiance TO Uncle Sam, and are willing
to show that they are in earnest, by
entering the ranks of the army, these
men will make the best of soldiers. The
idea has just dawned upon them that
they have been misled. When our own
army recruit in the enemies country, it
is sure sign that rebel patriotism is on
the wane. General Mcpherson has is
sued conscription order that has rather
of severe effect upon that class of indi-
viduals who have rushed down here from
the North to escape the draft, in addi-
tion to their being pressed into the SER
vice, they get no pay, which makes
their case one degree worse than to be
drafted. The enlisting Of colored sol
diers is carried on extensively in this
district, new regiments are being formed
at various points along the river. The
competition for recruits is quite inter
esting, as recruiting parties from differ
ent regiments often come in conflict with
each other, but have not heard Of any
serious collisions yet. Ibelieve that it is
general rule now, not to stop to argue
with native African long on the proprie-
ty of his becoming a soldier, but to
make him come, and impress into his
mind by degrees, the duty which he
owes 10 Abraham. Regiments that were
organized in the summer, have lost
heavily by sickness and desertion. these
are being filled up to the maximum
number. The leth La, has a recruit
ing party near Grand Gulf Miss, they
are doing well, and send up every few
days a fine looking drove Of A. d.
