SitciIel's Alabama ,Campaign.

To THE EDITOR: The article in late issue
of your paper wakes me up the subject of
the campaign of "Old Stars "---Gen. Ormsby
Mcknight Mitchel-when he cut loose from
Buell. at Nashville in 1862, and started out on
his own hook to explore the country. Moving
south from Murfreesboro, with no one but our
commander knowing the object of the expedi-
ton, we followed him with blind faith, know
ing that what "Old Stars" did was all right.
l remember one incident of the march par
ticularly that occurred while we had halted
for few days at Murfreesboro to rebuild the
railroad bridge, which had been destroyed by
the Johnnies. A long line Of the boys were
pulling on a rather rotten rope, which was
being used to raise bent of the usual rustic
but durable bridge over Stones River. The
General stood close to the rope, near the tim
bers helping the boys by the usual call of en-
couragement-"Y heave!" "Ye ho!"-and
was just getting warmed up to the work, when
snap went the rope. The boys all sat down
hard, the partially raised bent lay down, and
the General, being hit in the stomach by the
end of the rope, took flying tumble into the
river, from which he emerged wet, but much
wiser He recovered from his reclining posi-
ton in the water after splashing around, and
as soon as he had cleared his mouth and ears,
calculated, "Confound the pesky rope l
didn't think it would break" Then he retired
to the solitude of his tent.
l think the comrade is mistaken regarding
the well-directed shell which blocked the road
east of Huntsville when we made our entrance
to that city. If my memory serves me right,
the gun used was one of Capt. Loomis's famous
10-pounder PARROTS, and the Orderly of Loomis's
battery was the party who sighted the gun
that made scrap-heap Of the flying locomO-
tive.
When we reached Huntsville we had about
$500 men available for fighting force, the
balance of the division being stationed at vari-
Gus points between Huntsville aud Nashville
to keep our supply line open. The General. to
prove to the people of Huntsville that we had
ample force for any emergency, used a little
strategy. He caused two different regiments to
march into the town on alternate days from the
north, countermarching them back to the north
side of the town during the interval and sup
plying them with different outfits to change
their appearance. This performance was kept
up for nearly three weeks, and the citizens
were convinced that the Union army was 20, 600
strong and fully able to cope with good-sized
force of JOhnnies.
1t seems to ME that our forces occupied Chat
tanOOga for an hour or two after reaching
Huntsville but were not able to hold the city
and retreated to Stevenson in good order. l
think some of the men of the 18th Ill. Inf. or
the 4th Ohio Cav could tell us something about
that temporary occupation.-CO. X, LIST Mich.

To TIE EDITOR: Can some one s.ve infor-
nation of Gen. Whipple, who lost his life at
Charlottesville? He commanded our division.
Some histories don't mention him. while some
would have it that he was killed in battle.
The truth is, he was riding along and inspect
ing the intrenchments the day after the battle,
when bullet fired by rebel struck him, caus-
ing his death soon after. Our regiment (the
122d Pa escorted his remains to Georgetown,
where he was buried. ! desire very much to
know more about him-where he was from {;
was he regular or vOlunteer?-J. B. GABLE,

The Death of Col. Creighton.

To THE EDITOR: In reading Gen. William
p. Carlin's account of the fight at Taylor's
Ridge near Ringgold, wish to correct one lit
tie mistake he made, in your issue of the 2lst
inst. The Col. Creighton who was killed dur
ing the charge on Cleburne's Division was Colo
mel of the 9TH Ohio, and not an Iowa regiment,
as stated. Col. Creighton and Lieut.. Col Crane
were both killed, and every other officer in
that grand old 9TH Ohio was either killed or
wounded in that needless impetuous charge

Ladies' Weaknesses-

Mr. T. II. Gafford, of Church Hill. Nd, is so
thankful for the restoration of his wife to COM
plete health that he is willing to certify to the
fact and manner of her cure. To Mrs. Lydia E
Pinkham: This is to certify to the grand effects
OF your Vegetable Compound. My wife was suf.
ierlng from terrible disease which seemed to
battle the skill Of the best medical men. She
was in poor, languid, depressed, nervous con-
ditlon. We finally concluded to try your Veg
etable Compound, and to our great surprise the
half OF one bottle had not been taken before there
seemed to be a thorough change in her ,chcle con-
da,o', and now to-day she is in good health
and entirely relieved from all former depressed
feelings. I. H. Gafford and Wife.
