Another Lone Grave.

To THE EDITOR: On wooded hillside in
the western part of Franklin Co., Mo-. by the
side of the old st. Louis and Springfield State
road is a lone soldiers grave. From the decay
ing wooden slab at its head, when first saw it,
could be indistinctly made out that the occu-
pants name had been something like Hayne,"
and he had been non commissioned officer in
Minnesota infantry regiment. Citizens told
me that when Smiths army was on its return
from escorting Pap Price out of the State, and
was biyOuacked on the little creek that winds
by the base of the hill, soldier died from the
effects of 4 gunshot wound, concerning which
different stories were told and that his COM
panions left his remains in this lonely place.
Some years since, in response to printed cir
cular from the Quartermaster's Department at
Washington inquiring for isolated. unmarked
soldiers graves, / reported this one, but no
notice has been taken of it. Does the occupant
of this lonely. unmarked grave still live in the
memory of former comrades or home friends
and relatiyeS?-H. C., ShotWell, Mo

Death Of John Morgan,

To THE EDITOR: Sixty-eight miles east OF
Knoxville i'll East Tennessee is place called
Bulls Gap. In September, 1864, brigade of
Union cavalry was stationed there, under the
command of Gen. Gillem, composed of the 9th
and 18th +. Tenn. Cav and 10th Mich Cav,
with battery of the Ist Tenn Light Artillery.
John Morgan was at Greenville, Is miles east
Of Bulls Gap, at a private house, for the night
He had about 1000 men in his command, who
were in camp about three miles west of Green
vile. Gen. Morgan made his boast that he
would capture the Yankees at the gap next
morning at o'clock or land himself and every
man he had in hell This was the news circu-
lated among the Union cavalry by message
brought by a citizen from Greenville Ii was
about IL o'clock in the night when Gen. Gil
lem got the news The soldiers were asleep.
The busic sounded, and in half an hour we
were on the road to Greenville. Two miles
from the gap there was bridge across Lick
Creek. Hay was spread on the bridge to deaden
the sound OF the artillery and horses. One mile
further east n heavy thunder storm came down
upon u.s. Ii was dark we could not see the
man before US. save by the aid of flash of
lightning.
The rain ceased at daylight. We were only
nine miles on the road. 1t was so dark we
could not move fast. At Blue Springs the 10th
Mich, IN the advance, captured the rebel videts
and drove the reserve. A mile further on the
Confederate camp was discovered. One piece
of the battery was uulimbered, and sent a few
shells into the enemy's camp. The 9th E. Tenn.
was ordered to the front. As we passed the
cannon the writer saw a member of the 10th
Mich. limping to the rear, calling the rebels
all manuel of hard names for shooting a man
i'll the foot. Draw sabers !" was the command
given, and in we went, charging by column
over the hill into the enemy's camp. When
we got there they were leaving in haste. From
Bulls Gap one battalion of the 18th Tenn.
started to Greenville, making a detour to the
left of the main column. They moved last and
reached Greenville at early dawn, finding Gen.
Morgan. He refused to surrender, and was
promptly shot down. They placed his body on
horse before a soldier and carried it out of
town till they met the rest of our column, one
and a half miles below town. Morgan's men
were in line Of battle at Greenville. When we
came in sight of them we formed in line by
companies marched down the hill towards
town, and formed in column Of fours The 9th
charged through the town and the 18th charged
south of the town. II was quick work, and the
enemy's line gave back, leaving cannon, cais-
sons, and ammunition in our possession, with a
number of prisoners, including one Adjutant

WinchnSfnr Cluh IN the Ernnt

To THE EDITOR: The boys around Toledo
who took part in the first battle of Winchester,
under Shields and Kimball, in 1862 will cele-
brate the anniversary of that event this year,
as usual, by meeting of the Winchester Club
on the evening of March 23 The boys expect
to have, as usual, jolly, good time. Ii will be
an informal, Of-hand affair. No cards. Hard
tack, coffee, stories and fun.
The boys would like to get hold of Shields's
official report of that battle. A Kansas comrade
sent it to THE TRIBUNE to be printed, but it
has not appeared yet. Will some one who has
it do the Club the favor to report to Capt. d. G.
Dewey, Toledo o.?
