The following incident has never before
been published, and its entire truthfulness
can be substantiated to the satisfaction of
any who may desire it:

Confederate troops at Fort Donelson, a
Federal staff officer approached the works
occupied by Baldwin's brigade, Buckner's
division, and inquired for the headquarters

rily in command of the brigade. Upon
meeting Col. Brown the Federal officer an
nOunced that he had been sent forward by
ten. U. s.. Grant, commanding United
States forces, to earn the location Of the
brigade headquarters, and that he would
return and inform the Federal command
or. The officer then rode back to the line
of works, and, meeting General Grant and
his staff conducted them to the tent Of Col,
Brown.
"Colonel Brown, allow me to introduce
Gen. Grant, commander Of our forces"
Colonel Brown acknowledged the intro
duction by a polite though formal bow.
"ColonGl Brown, it gives me pleasure to
take by the. hand an officer who has made
such gallant Defence" and removing his
hat, the Federal commander leaned from
his horse, extended his hand, which Colo
mel Brown accepted with that grace and
dignity which, with his gallant bearing on
the field, So distinguished him afterwards
as Major General.
After a few minutes the party passed on
toward the village of Dover, the Confed-
crate headquarters, leaving Colonel Brown
before his tent standing. AS he turned to
enter he saw, approaching from the dire.

"Drop that pistol" and the man, thrown
off his guard by u quick mo1omeut of his
horse, found himself covered by the pistol

A moment Of hesitation and the mad

"Now dismount," and, with one look
that satisfied him of the firm purpose in
the eyes which cleaned behind the leveled
pistol in the hand of Brown, the Lieuten-
ant was placed under guard.
