Duck River Bridge, Tenn March 4th 1864. !
Having looked over your files for sew
eral week. past, find you have no ''self
sacrificing and intensely Loyal cor
respondent to relate the ralorous
achievements of this noble corps.
take it upon myself to send You a short
letter There is nothingyery important
transporting IN this region now. The
first division commanded by General
Williams is scattered along the line Of
railway between Nashville and Chatta-
nooga. The headquarters Of Gems
Slocufn, Williams, and Reyer, ara at
Tullahoma, nine miles south Of here.
Col Carman Of thisregiment commands
the post at Tullahona, in the absence
ofCol Colgrove Of the 9th Indiana,
who has taken his regiment home to
reinlist. Bushwhackers are being
brought in every day, while hundreds
OF Refugees from Alabama and
Georgia report at our out-pcsts every
dav. Deserters come in continually,
all tired Of the war, and glad to come
back under the protection Of our flag.
The conscription is working fearfully
for the citizens Of the Southern States;
whole families are compelled to leave
their homes on account Of non-subscrib-
ing to the win Of JEFF Davis. A party
Of fifty came through here yesterday,
direct from Georgia; they were driven
from their homes on account Of their
loyalty among the number were
several children, al without shoes, and
many sick, occasioned BY the cold
weather and unremitting exposure.
Their last camping ground is only few
miles from here, and a visit to it would
convince any one of the barbarity Of
thesenemy Beside one of the shelter
tents, made Of rails and brush, are three
graves, about two feet long, where some
heart-broken woman have been CON-
PEELED to lay the remains Of their dear
children, who had frozen to death the
night previous. Many are yet sick, and
bat few will live until they arrive at
Nashville Terrible VIII be the retribu-
ton for such acts, and soon viii come
the day of execution.
The 10Th corps VIII be stationed on
this road during the present summer,
If no reverse or disaster befalls our
arms in the coming campaign. The
troops all have great confidence in Gen
Slocum, and those who were with him
at Charlottesville and Gettysburg viii
still follow their old and true com
manders The weather here has moder-
ated considerably::within the past few
days. II was 50 cold short time since
that we could find no thermometer long
enough to tell exactly kos0 cold IL Das

The following is an extract from q
letter received in this city from a gal
LIANT East Tennessean, who was with
the 4th Tennessee Cavalry in the late
expedition into Mississippi:
MEMPHIS, Feb. %, 1864.
Sergeant Murphy, of Co. D: Sergeant
Wells aud L. II. Gillehan, of Co. A /; Eath
Mahoney and Corporal Rogers, of CO. p,
and several others in our regiment were
killed. P. B. swafIord Of Co. A had leg
shot or. Several boys Of other companies
were wounded. Hub Dyer and Corporal
Milton, Of Co. A, are captured, and Thos
Elliot is killed or captured, though think
he is captured.
Our regiment is stationed at German
town, IS miles from here. ! don't know
how long we will stay here.
| was wounded in the neck and right
shoulder. l happened 70 be in the way of
q cannon ball and il took my coat and Jacket
very near OF my back, Just touching the
hide and bruising me considerably, but my
wound Is not a dangerous one. Upon the
whole, We gained decided victory.
J. F. KIEcHALoE, Capt,
Co. A, 4th Tennessee Cavalry.
Sergt Noah Wells was from Greene
county, Tennessee, where, in the be-
ginning Of the war; he was captured by
Gen. Ledbetters forces and imprison-
ed under the charge Of bridge burning,
and sent to Tuscaloosa, Mobile and
others places for safe keeping. He
made his escape in 1862 and joined the
4th Tennessee Cavalry. No truer man
nor Drawer soldier ever drew sabre
for the Union He was known and re-
spected by both officers and men of his
regiment, and his loss will be deplored
BY all
Sergt John Murphy, of Co. D, was no
less brave nor less a true and noble
soldier, than Sergt Wells He former
ly lived at Ducktown, Tennessee, and
BlOunt county, Tennessee. His un-
varying good humor and amiable
qualities viii long be remembered by
all knew him
Gillehan was from Bradley county,
Tennessee, a true Union man and good
soldier. The same may be said of
Rogers and Mahoney of Co B.
All have families in East Tennessee.

Some DAYS previous 10 thla, enc ofmy
officers succeeded in making hIs escape
in this way, and although wltAont ars
prehension thatit was trap, ! resolved
to trv the experiment Accordingly,
Captain B. g. c. Reed, Of the Sd Ohio,
and myself went to the designated
place at the appointed hour, where we
were assured that il was all right We
complied with the terms and passed out,
but no sooner we're we outside the
guard lines than Lieut. Latouche, Adj
jutant of the prison, and seven men
sprang out from a concealed place and
commenced firing on us before hating
Us. We we're unarmed and could do
nothing but surrender Wewere taken
back to prison, put in irons and thrown
into one of those filthy holes called
cells, where We were kept for three
weeks on bread and water The
weather was very cold during the time,
and we nearly persisted.
There was large amount Of filth in
the cell, which could not induce them
TO remove, nor could get them to per
nit me to removeit asked for paper,
pen and ink, to write to the rebel au
thorities; also for a box TO sit on, Of
which there were large number in the
cells; but everything was denied me
At the time | was taken to the cell,
there were six of our men confined in
one Of these cells for attempting to es-
cape. They had been there for six days
without blankets, and two Of them were
very sick. They were released al the
end Of seven days Of confinement
I cannot describe to you the loath-
some flthinsss of these cells. They are
infested with an innumersble numbCr
of rats and mice, and have no mark Of
having been cleansed since they were
first built It is useless for me to say
that no man can survive long confne-
ment in place Of this kind, and al
though I am acquainted with several
persons who have been confied there, l
do not know one who can now be called
q well man. He also confirms the state
ment that every pledge made TO them
to return their money was violated, and
that after the notice was sent North
that the money forwarded them would
be delivered, every penny so sent was
stolen

With footsteps slow, let travellers go,
And march with solemn tread,
Above our cherished mounds so low,
Where sleep our honored dead;
For o, indeed, tits haliowed ground
Where sleep those heroes brave.
If there's sacred spot on earth,
Il is the soldiers grave.
When hydra headed treason dared
To lift a threatening hand,
Then quick around our dear old flag
There flocked gallant band.
The very bravest and the best,
Our ranks did quickly fill;
The same fires kindled in their breats,
That burned on Bunker Hill.
They left their friends and happy homes
To fight for Union dear;
Fond anxious friends beheld them go,
With many a farewell tear.
They went, and found soldiers grave
Far from their native shore;
And the fond loving arms of friends
VIII clasp their forms no more.
And o, indeed, twas hard to die
Away from friends 80 dear;
No mother's gentle hand was Nigh
No fathers voice to cheer.
But harder still for them TO see
Our glorious country lost;
To sec that starry banner trailed
By traitors in the dust.
What majesty surrounds the spot
Where sleep those heroes bold;
Their names should never be forgot,
But wove with threads Of gold,
Upon the pages Of our land,
That every one may see
The names of all that gallant band,
Who died for liberty.
Sleep on dear fellow-soldiers, sleepl
Your battles are all Ger;
The mourning ones that for you weep,
VIII meet you on that shore,e
In that dear land of JOY and peace,
No cruel wars are known
No farewell tears viii e'er be shed,
In that glad, happy home.
