To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Your reply to L. Williams concerning the
part taken by the Goth Illinois V. l. in the bat
tie of Chickamauga is not quite correct. We
were ordered out Friday, about o'clock p. M.
TO look for the enemy. We found him at
Chickamauga Creek, in ambush. General
Whitaker and staff were in advance, and were
fired upon as soon as they crossed the creek.
The regiment crossed at double-Quick and form
ed in line, and we sooii routed the rebels. We
lost one killed and three wounded. We lay on
our arms that night, and recrossed the creek
next morning, and lay in support of q battery
all day Saturday. On Sunday we were sent on
double-quick 70 the right of General Thomas,
and there we found all the rebels we could
manage, and | think if there had been a few
less we wonld have been satisfied We stayed
right by the Johnuies till dark, and made it as
hot for them as We could, and | think they
were satisfied, for they allowed us 10 depart in
peace. We lost, if | remember right, 1913 killed
and wounded whatsoever told L. Williams
that the seth Illinois flag was the first to wave
from the top of Lookout Mountain, told him

brought up soon after, and Generals Whitaker
and 0sterhans had q hot dispute then and there
about whose flag was there first. Our bri-

THE AWAKENING.

Great things are going on this morning. Out in the orchards under the coarse bark of the apple trees; over in the woods be- meath the rind of the birch and the maple, the chestnut and ash; under the dead leaves on the hillside, where the arbutus is struggling into life; down in the mead ows, where the brown grasses are bright ening :; out on the lawn, where the emerald is just beginning to assert itself over na- tnre's winter wear of sombre gray, without noise or friction or any visible movement, millions of horse power are at work. There's a stir in the grave of the crocus the dead spears of last years, lily of the valley begin to feel gentle pressure from below; in tufts of yellow grass blades thrust up their heads roots of the dandelion rustic in an- ticipation of coming coronation, and on every fibre of the oak and elm force which no man may number and no human power resist is marching straight upward.
 A great army of sappers and miners has been burrowing under us. It is the same whose hurrying flight we saw in last Oc- tober's golden glories, that hung upon the sumach its fiery defiance and Haunted at us yellow and crimson from birch and ma pie, as it sullen1y fell back beyond the further ridges of the hills the same army that having stormed and possessed world, and made its brief and merry season of carousal, went off in highest feather, leav- ing behind all the storehouses it had en- dowed with plenty, all the granaries it had filled to bursting. The forests bowed their heads and moaned, and the world put on sombre garments at its departure. And now it has come back. The work of its sappers and miners is beginning to appear. They are pushing up their spears in mead ow and field; they are climbing to the hover on the hill sides and pitch their tents in the valleys. The legions are tramping noiselessly but constantly into the tree-tops, each with its folded banner. Presently, when each has reached its sta, tion, even to the furthest twig, there will be futtering in the orchards, and when the world awakes it will be to find itself once more possessed, with the banners waving over it, of the apple and the peach l IN. r.
