Records le ter in The TRIBUNE of oct. :, and
! want TO add my testimony in regard 10 the
troops which did tho fighting at Rome Ga,
Oct. - and l3, 1861. If any command other
than the Second Cavalry Division took part,
I'm sure we didn't know it at the time. l
quote from my diary: I'VE arrived in Rome
the night OF The llth; came by forced march.
The morning of the 10Th we crossed the river,
and before the division had formed sluTmIsh-
ing commenced. We drove them
mile or two from town, and toward night went
into camp. The morning of the 18Th we moved
out and found the rebels where we left them
the night before. We drove them along from
one barrcade TO another, until they began to
use artillery on us. The division
formed for battle. the Third iWider's1 brigade

the tanks mounted, with the lSt ONO III adj
vance as skirmishers We did not know where
the First Brigade was. Widcr's Brigade ad-
vamccd in line Of battle until they were near
the rebel battery, with a creek between them
and the rebels. Just then the First Brigade
broke cover, mounted. and charged the battery

chance 10 move the guns any distance, captur-
ing the two pieces. We chased them about
eight miles and returned to Rome that night

iSt have been better: but ! don't think any
account of that fight would be complete with
out mention Of the 9TH Pa. ! cont suppose for
a moment that the gallant 18th needs any cham
pion in me. but the position of onr regiment
gave me an unusually good opportunity TO see
the climax of the fight and | shall never Tor
get the brilliant way in which the 9TH Pa. Cav
crossed that creek and took in the guns. l be-
lieye the members of the Second Cavalry DI-
vision may well be proud that they belonged
10 that command. As organized for the Attain
II campaign, if my memory serves me, 1t was
composed rs follows: First Brgade-4th Reg

Col. Ninty; Second Brigade-lSt, 81, and 18th
Ohio, commanded by Col Eli Long; Third Bri-
gade tWilder's mounted infantry)-11th and

by Gen K. Gerard. Later, the 4th Regulars
were detached as body guard for Gen. Wilson,

During the few days at louisville fresh beef

animals slain for the soldiers were not always
fat and tender nor did each of them have four
hind-uuarterS. This last fact was the direct
cause of good deal OF inflammation in the 2OOth

got sections of the forward part of the critter,"
usually about three quarters bone, invariably
kicked, and fired peppery remarks at those who
got the iuicy steaks from the rear portion of the
