The soldiers were in good spirits. As they
marched they fired jests at one another and
laughter rippled along the column.
The only thing that troubled them was the
emaciated condition of their haversacks, with
a corresponding state of affairs in their several
stomachs. The Commissary Department WAS
thoroughly demOraized The supply train
had failed to connect, and rations were almost
exhausted. There was no prospect that the
aching void would be filled, at least in the reg
ular way, until they reached a certain place,
which would not be until the following day.
Strict orders against forasing were issued
almost daily under the Buell. dispensation
These were often read impressively to the new
troops, who, in their simplicity, took it ali
in " as military gospel. The effect was some-
what depressing upon the ardOr with which,
otherwise they would have pursued the pant

But these orders against foraging didn't hold

On the day in question few hints were

Soon after starting in the morning a pcrsim-
mon tree, well laden with fruit, was seen in a
field not far from the road. About fifty men
started for it on run, and in five minutes it
was as bare as the barren fg tree.

enough for that.
The boys soon found that the simmons, al
though they looked very tempting were too
green to be eaten with any degree of enjoy

in the scramble, telling 81 he would bring him

Two hours before going into camp the regi-
mcnt passed a small spring around which
crowd of soldiers were struggling to fill their
cantecns. There had been a long stretch with
out fresh water, and 81 thought he would sup

81 MARCHING ON,
Another Days Experience in His
Southern Tramp.

The long chase after Bragg from Louisville
to the mountains of Southeastern Kentucky
was rough on the new troops. 1t weeded them
out very fast, and in every town through which
Buells army passed the buildings were turned
into hospitals and filed with sick and crippled
soldiers, who had found out early that they
were not physically able to endure the hard
ships of an active campaign. At the end of
two or three weeks some of the new regiments
were as much reduced in numbers as most of
those that went out in 81 were during their
first six months.
The 200th Ind. logged along bravely, but its
ranks had suffered the common shrinkagc. Not
less than 400 of lis men had fallen by the way
side and were taking quinine and bluemass
and rubbing arnica on their legs all along the
tortuous route.
Corporal ST Klegg and his friend Shorty
proved to be staycrS" Full of life and am
bition, they were always prompt for duty and
ready for fight or frolic. No one was more
quick than 81 to offer suffering comrade the
last drop of fresh water in his cantecn or give
him a lift by carrying his gun a piece.
One day the regiment started out for an easy,
comfortable days march. The coast was clear
of rebels, and, there being no excuse for crowd
ing on the steam, the boys were allowed 20
take their own gait. while the horses of the
officers and the cavalry had a chance to recover
their wind.
1t was a warm day, late IN October lhe
nights at this time were keen and frosty, but
the sun at midday still showed much of his
vigor. Perspiration flowed freely down
the faces of those wandering Hoosiers-faces
that were fast assuming the color Of halftanned
leather under the Influence of sunshine and
storm.
Once an hour there was the customary halt,
when the boys would stretch their legs by the
roadside, hitching their knapsacks up under
their heads. When the allotted time had eX-

bren by the Nashville Relief Society
today. Besides this, the Society sent
800 dinners to children employed in
factories, who could not be present at
the regular feast.
Fires were lighted in the Tennessee
Iron Company's rolling mill at
o'clock this morning, and thus one OF
the most important acquisitions to
Nashville interests was put In opera
ton. Their mill is located in West
Nashville. For some months work on
the mills has been in progress, and
the "start" was looked forward to
with interest by business men and
others who have the prosperity and
welfare of the city at heart. The mill
now in operation is capable of making
merchant iron, such ss small, round,
fiat, square, oval, one half round and
one ha t oval, besides wagon and sad
dlery novelties. The first iron made
today was lx3 inch fiat bars, and is to
fill an order for the State prison.
Among the best things promised for
Nashville is a canal, which it is pro
posed to construct from the upper
island in the Cumberland river through
and along Shelby's bottom to the iron
truss bridge. The plan is to give the
water in the canal a fall sufficient to
operate score of manufactures. A
number of capitalists are considering
the scheme with view OF forming a
company for the purpose of prosecut-
ing the work. The matter was first

This is altogether wrong, and with taiE
minded people will work disasIrcusly

the sympathy ofavery Influential class
that regards them a. CT par with the
dyDamiters. The employees OF the Mo-
bile and Ohio railroad have right to
strike, but they have no right to pre-
vent the company from operating its
road. To do that is to rob it of its
earnings aud deny to its stockholders
the rights guaranteed them by the
constitution Of the State and OF the
United States. The workmen at Jack
son have right TO combine for their
own interests, but they have no right
to prevent the company from con-
bining for its interests. The labor of

BGFoRR the interstate commerce b L!
passes it would bs we'll for Congress
to fnd out how far its provisions are
calculated to interfere with and ipjure
the commerce of the country. Rail
road supervision is admitted, even by
the leading railroad men, to be essen
tial, not only to commerce, but for the
safety Of the roads one from the other.
The only question is how bes5 to &C.
complish these purposes. 1t cannot be
done by forcing arbitrary ratss
and compelling the roads to
charge pro rata for short as for long
hauls, or vice versa. Long hauls are
the remunerative part of the business,
and local rates on the same basis

try. On the other hand, through
rates on the average local basis would
rain the Western farmer and South
ern planter, who could not possibly
pay them. The result OF such freight
charges would be that wheat would
become drug and cotton would be
confined to the local spinners in the
Southern States. Lands would conse-
quently decrease in value, and wide
spread ruin would follow. The truth
is, that the railroad business is
more and more every year
adjusting itself to the increased de-
mands Of the public, and has already
done vast work by enabling the
Western farmer to ship his grain to

AN interview with Senator Voor-
bees is at any time interesting; the
one we publish in another column
and for which We are indebted to the
Courier Journal is especially 50, as it
deals with several important national
questions, but particularly because it
gives the inside view of the contest be-
tween the Republicans and the Dam-
ociats for possession OF the Indiana
Legislature and the election OF a
United Ststes Senator. Senator Voor-

The Strike Among the M. d D,
Brakemen Continues.
ESPECIAL TO TEE AprrAL.l

JACKSON, TENN, December 28.-
The strike Of the freight brakemen
on the Mobile and Ohio railroad,
which began last Saturday, still goes
on. The brakemen are very de.
termined and declare the trains shall
not move. Superintendent Hamilton
attempted to have the trains coupled
up yesterday, but the coupling pins
were pulled out as fast as they were
put in. Warrants were issued today
for twelve of the strikers and placed
in the hands Of the Sheriff, who ar
rested Elk Of them and presented them
before Justice OF the Peace, charged
with felony in obstructiDg traffic and
mails. They thereupon gave bead
and were released. 1t is thought that
the labor troubles in our midst win be
satisfactorily adjusted tomorrow.
