Brief and Not Brilliant Military Service in
the Federal Army-Running Away from
Danger in Hand-Car

Brief and Not Brilliant Military Service in
the Federal Army-Running Away from
Danger in "a Hand-Car
Ia June, 1861, Horace Heffren was mus
tered into service as a Federal soldier,
and on the 4th day Of July received his COM
mission as Lieutenant colonel of the Thir-
teenth Indiana volunteers. He was after
ward transferred to the Fifteth regiment with
the same rank, and on September Z 1862, he
resigned. 1t has been said for him that he
resigned from the army on account of
wounds, and that he bears an honorable dis
charge from the Union service. We draw
Washington, and the following special to the
Journal shows how valuable and efficient an
officer he was, together with slight revea-
ton of his valor and the circumstances I'M
der which he closed his military career in
the United States army: 49,
Our correspondent writes upon the au-
thority of one in position to know: i,
an the summer of 1862 (perhaps in June
or JULY Horace Heffren was in command of
a part of his regiment (Dunham's Indiana
regiment, | think the Fiftieth Indiana)
which was poSted along the Louisville. g.
Nashville railroad from Edgeheld opposi te
Nashville, to Gallatn, for the defense of the
line of communication for that distance
Stockades had been built at the bridges and
other structures OF the railroad, and the men
were stationed at these in detachments at
five or six places. The total number of the
men of the regiment thus posted was proba-
bly, $50 10 500. Heffren was charged with the
defense of these bridges. etc, and his orders
were to hold the stockades. One afternoon
Heffren appeared at the headquarters of Cen
eral Miller (who was in command of
the district of Nashville, which included
the posts under Heffren's command),
in state of considerable excitement, and
stated that he had in the morning of that day
taken the greater part of his command from
the stockades and marched to Galatn, or
near there. for the purpose OF attacking the
enemy, which he understood had appeared
at that place. He stated that on approach
ing Gallatin he had found the enemy, and an
engagement ensued, during which he found
himself outnumbered. and began retreat
with intent to reach his stockades on the
railroad line. Being hard pressed and the
battle going against him, Heffren had secured
hand car, which he found on the track,
and with two or three other men made
good his escape from the battle by
means of the hand-car. He said that he did
not know what had become OF his men; he
had left them fighting the best they could

Yesterday afternoon he seemed to revive

The record of Horace Heffren, the recog-
nized Democratic leader in the present
House OF Representatives, willie varied in its
aspects, has ever been consistently traitorous
10 his country and in antagonism to its best
interests. From first to last be has been a
bad and malicious man; at times defiant, and
again secretly hostile From first to last,
from 1861 to the last opportunity, Horace
Heffren has always put himself on record as
an active sympathizer with rebellion, and,
with others as treacherous as himself, earn
estly sought to further the cause of slavery
and disunion. But he was worse than a
mere traitor; the instincts of his nature
found even a lower level than conspiracies
and contemplated assassination. To-day he
stands unabashed as a selfconvicted traitor
to traitors less treacherous than himself A
brief review of the career of this representa-
tive Democrat, now that he has invited it,
may not prove uninteresting to many not
familiar with it, and the gentleman
himself, who wants to know what we are
going to do about 1t, may find some few
items in this review that will cause him to

inst deserts

cowardice in the face of the enemy Relief
was sent up the road, and it was found that
some of Heffren's men had gained their
posts, but the greater part had been cap
tured or killed or wounded. One
stockade which contained seventeen men I'M
der Captain Atkinson, at the largest bridge,
was held against the enemy. All the others
were taken and the bridges they guarded were
burned. Charges were preferred against
Heffren, and his command was taken from
him; but before trial he was permitted to
resign. The records of the War Department
will disclose the charges and the reports
upon this case. Reference to the records OF
the post and district of Nashville
during the time above mentioned
will show the whole case, think Livingston
Rowland and David Braden, now of In
dianapolis, were on General Millers staff at
the time; at least Rowland was, and l think
Braden They, or one of them, will remem-
Der the circumstances, and will probably
recollect what Miller said to Heffren when
he told his extraordinary story"
Our correspondent further writes from
Washington:
Il found in the Department of War Heffrens
resignation, upon which was an Endorsement
of Col. John f. Miller (now Senator Miller)
bearing date Of Aug. &C. 1862, recommend
ing that Heffren's resignation be accepted
on the ground that it will be for the good
of the service The commander of the dis
trict also Endorsed tine resignation, recon-
mending its acceptance, and said, if not ac-
cepted, charges OF serious nature would be
preferred against Heffren."
Captain Braden is in southern Indiana,
and Mr. Rowland, on being asked, said he
was not present at the interview between
Lieutenant-colonel HefFren and General
Miller What TRANSFERRED, however, may be
imagined, and whatever it might have been,
the report could not add to the strength OF
the official record

Joseph Willard, the elder of the we'll known
Willard brothers at Washington, who has
been recluse for many years. and of whom
stiff stories are told about his severity with
debtors, &C., performed an act some time
ago which, though little known, has
astonished and somewhat rovolutionized
Washington sentiment. Joseph G. Cooke,
the lessee of Willard's hotel, died suddenly
with an almost expired lease, and his widow
had about $4,000 worth of furniture in tho
house. There was a rush on the part Of hotel
men from all parts Of the country to get the
property, and they all INDUCED the supposi-
tlon that If they obtained the lease Mrs.
Cooke would have to sacrifice her furniture,
and they could got il for a
mere song. But Mr.. Willard stepped forward
and leased the widow tho hotel, knowing
that she would not undertake TO operate 1t,
but resolved that whoever leased il should
take her furniture on equitable terms Con-
seqpently she got about 100000 for the fur
nituIe, or nearly its full value, since no one
could lease the hotel without including the
chRttels.

Report reaches this city that Joseph
Whitney met with serious mishap on
the Mississippi. He was running
Cochran's lumber to the lower markets
when the raft struck pier of the
government bridge, between Rock Is
land and Burlington, aud sunk and
was damaged to the extent of 800, 900
Tribune
Whew! what news. Who ever
dreamed Of one feet of lumber leaving
this place whose damage on striking a
pier in the Mississippi could ever
reach 100000. Nothing strange
however that it should appear as news
in the trio sheet. The facts are that
the raft struck the pier and received
but slight damage. The boys tell US
that the loss was barely mentionable.
However, Joseph seems to have hard
luck Of late
