From Spr!uc Hill to Franklin.

To THE EDITOR: While have always been
very much interested in THE TRIBUNE, and
feel very much disappointed when it fails to
come on Saturday / have been more than in
terested in Comrade T. Ii. Stevens's account of
how he passed through Hoods lines Myself
and 81 other comrades of our regiment, under
command of Second Lieut.. Jolly, left Duck
River about 8 O'Clock p. IN. on the 29th of No
vember, 1864 and took the pike for Franklin.
When within about two miles of Spring Hill
we came upon a large force of soldiers in camp
to the right and joining up to the pike When
we first saw the fires we were delighted at the
near prospect of rest, as we were very tired.
When we came up on the pike opposite tho fires
we were hailed with What regiment is that?"
In answer Private Plummer replied, Alabama
Tigers" and in turn inquired, What regiment
do you belong tor" They gave the name of
Confederate regiment-the name and number
have forgotten but we took the hint and trav-
eled. We passed the rebels about IL o'clock at
night, and / have always believed Plummers
mistake is what let US out of a bad scrape and
opened mp the way for the rest of the boys who
were following. Comrade Stevens is correct
about the burning house and wagons about
three miles north of Spring Hill and Remng-
ton is correct about Opdyckes boys leaving
Spring Hill the next morning, as they GER
tainly saved a couple of boys trip South. My
comrade gave out and could not go any farther,
about o'clock a. M of the Both, SO / was COM
PEELED tostop with him. Wecrawled in the brush
and went TO sleep, where we were aroused by OPP
dyckes men, who wereskirmishing with cavalry.
They told US to get up and git" which we did,
and arrived at Spring Hill about o'clock. The
comrade who was sleeping with me at the time,
as well as Piummer and others of the boys, are
still in or near the little village of Neville,
Clermont Co.. O., and no doubt remember how
we came through Hoods lines also, the stone
wall and burning wagons. where we had Skin
mish and how they kept peppering at US while
we crept along in the dark. One little incident
happened that caused some mirth. Our Ser
gealt- McKee-stuck his sword in the ground
and swore that when he got close enough to
fight with that thing he would run but the
next day he stood up and fought like Turk at
