Cumberland who made that trip will rem
cmber the time they had in the first six or
seven miles OF the journey as among the
most exciting of their lives. The "John

and, wherever the road brought us in their
range, -and that was the case for nearly
every yard of the di>tace. their sharp
shooters made it exceedingly unpleasant for
US. 1t is all very nice, in a mutual debate
with muskets and things. where one has
chance to talk back; but there the con-
versation was all on the one side. Guy

cession, and he didn't like it bit,-wanted
to get to the other side OF Walden's Ridge
and writo it up. | never saw correspon-

A good many of the boys were wounded

iOus points on the road. There was one place

The Tennessee at this point was about 300
