BATTLE ABOVE THE CLOUDS
We find the following in the Mime
apolis Tribune, copied from the Fulton
IN. W Times, concerning the exper-
fences Of Mr.. Robinson, a former resi-.
dent OF Wo;thington:
M1NNEApoL1s, Mimi. Nov. "a. 1882
just 10 wears ago to-day "Fighting Joe
Hooker' fought the battle of Lookout
Mountain "above the Clouds" "A. &.
Robinson. formerly of Canton, St. Law
renee comfy, n. Y, now \ resident of
this city, participated III that battle rs
4 member of company a." Goth regi-
ment n. Y. Volunteers. The side of
the mountain where the fight took place
was traversed by ravines and lodges of
rocks, which were held by the enemy
until they were driven out by the Union
troops. AS soon as they would retreat
to one ravine our men would follow
them, until the fight assumed more the
form Of an exciting squirrel hunt than
anything else. just rs Mr.. Robinson
was climbing Il ledge of rock about three
feet high he was struck by ball and
fell at the foot of the ledge, the army
passing along in pursuit OF the fast re"

back about six miles, when they left
him il 4 corn crib about 6x12 which
was filed with wounded soldiers laid
in cross ways. There his unknown
friends left him. Some one gave him a
double blanket and some coffee, which
were thankfully received.

ter two weeks they arrived at Murfres-
horo, where he was placed in one of the
hospitals of the city. BY this time his
wound was 50 bad that the army SUR
geons said there was no use in wasting
any time on him-that he conld not
live anyway, and was left to die like q
dog. Finally a citizen surgeon from II
linois found him, and like the good Sa.
maratin of old, dressed his wounds and
