On the memorable 9th November, 1868, q
desperate assault was made by detachments
from sixteen regiments of Longstreets army,
then bosieging Knoxville, on the little garrison
of Federal troops in Fort Saunders, just east of
tho city. In the garrison was the gallant nth
New York Highland Regiment, whose tattered
flag bore on its starry folds the names Of q hum
dred bloody battles that have made historic the
glorious army of the Potomac. Its ranks had
been thinned until but 80 men answered TO the
call Mt rcveile,
AFTER THE BATTLE. ~.
On the morning referred to the dead and dy-
ing oil the boys who wore the blue and those
who wore the grey, lay side by side. They
were buried near the fort where they had brave
ly fought. Alter the siege ended and several
times since the war, the dead have been OK
humed ms far as they could be found and buried
in our beautiful National Cemetery. Some,
however we're missed and are now sleeping in
their unmarked graves, under the moss grown
earth-works that saved the city in that bloody
assault.
