A SNOW BATTLE.
Fought BY Ten Thousand Men
Twenty Years Ago.
How Bates Forces Were Van
quIshed by Stewards Division.
Memphis Ledger.

Memphis Ledger.
The severity of this unusual sea
son recalls the experience Of old
soldiers who were in winter qurters
at Dalton, Ga, in the winter of
1863 4. Toward the end of the sea-
son, very much like this one so far,
there was a heavy snowfall, and
nearly the whole army engaged for
q day or two snow balling. The
most notable battle was between
Bates and Stewards divisions, and
was conducted on the regular mill
tary plan. After a pr0miscuOus
skirmishing in Tyler's brigade Qor-
mSrly Bate's), the men eRmped on
= little hill q mile north of Dalton,
fell into line and charged the Flori-
dR brigade, commanded by Gen.
Finley, on n hill just opposite. The
Florida troops had never seen
enough snow to make n good sized
ball in their lives, nor had any such
experiences. They did their best
brsvely, but it was only child's
play. The stood mp and took the
pelting like men, but were easily
vanquished. Just then Lewis Ken
lucky brigade of six-foOt stalwarts
of the same division, fully efficered
and with haversaeks full of hard
snow balls, warranted to knock a
man down three times out of four
mt forty yards, came swinging up
the road by the right flank, locking
for a fight. This meant serious
business, and parley was held to
make arrangements. Tyler's bril-
gade proposed that al three should
march up half a mile farther under
command of Col. Tom Benton
Smith, of the Twentieth Tennessee,
and clean cut Stewards division.
This was agreed to and done, but
Stewards division ralliod and won
the main victory At last. 1t was a
grand sight, FIVE thousand men on
each side i'm line Of battle making
charges and counter-charges and
flank movements like well trained
veterans ia q real battle, and the
air filed with well directed snow
balls. II was IN impressive spec
tacle to be seen only once in life
time, aud never to be forgotten. Nor
was Il altogether fun; for some of
the men, especially those on horse
back directing movements, were
terribly "bembarded" and laid up
for several days afterward. Still,
strange 10 say, no one was seriously
hurt. One Of the "boys" next day
wrote up n report of the battle, as
half comic imitation of the reports
made by commanders in
real engagements, and we find il in
n half-sheet stray copy, yellow with
age, ofthe Memphis Atlantis Appeal
afternoon edition Of March &c, 1864. |

Of facts, and as an imper-
feet pen picture may be recognized
