dashing brave men to death against
such stronghold, but Sherman still
ordered the assault. Then calm, brave
old Pap Thomas, notified the windy
Sherman that if those brave men
were ncedlessly slain in such assault it
must be in the face of his (Thomas)
most earnest and solemn protest. 1t
it was then that Sherman was induced
to alb ;, d N The absolutely insane idea.
These brave men, Thomas and Lo-
gan, met again under peculiar circum-
stances, when the great soldierly quail
tiles of both shone forth in a manner
which should endear them to the heart
of every true soldier. Sherman, with
his entire army had been kept busy
fighting Hood and Johnston during
the summer of 1854, and at the fall
of Atlanta, when Hood with his Rebel
veterans started back toward Nash
Vile Tennessee. Sherman took the
great body Of his splendid army and
started South on wild goose chase,
sending Thomas, with small rem
nant of the army, back to battle the
Rebel forces that his, (Sherman's) en-
tire army had been fighting for months.
Hood invested Nashville, and those
of us who were there remember the
tireless energy with which Thomas
worked in getting ready, with such
forces as he could gather, to crush
Hood. But Grant became impatient,
and finally ordered Thomas removal.
The brave old chieftain who never
was whipped, who was the only one
tosuccessfully withstand and hurl back
the gray line of death at Chickamauga,
was to be removed, because he would
not make a movement which would
have given Hood possession of Nash

As the heat of the summer comes
on, we would mildly suggest to the
town authorities, and especially the
health officer, that all smelling Com
mittees in search of nuisances, should
take few observations Of the sur
roundings Of the doggeries Of this
place. There you will find stink Of
great volume and intensity during the
heated term. And we would also
mildly suggest, these fellows should
be compelled to clean up, the same as
their more decent neighbors Do not
scold some poor widow for throwing
out bail Of ashes, then let a doggery-
keeper empty his pig-pon or vault into
the public highway. These are
merely suggestions.
