We waited some littlo time until the enemy

word retreat" and falling back 10 the line,
what do you think we found? Two lines OF
battle behind that brcas.w0rk, one man 20 fire
and three 20 load guns for him.
Well they struck the line further down 10 our
left first, but every gun opened aud thought
II impossible for them TO break through, but in
few minutes Just 10 our left and only little
ways from me, our line gave way and they

as he stepped TO the front aud said, Let US

and took the top Of his head of. We charged
back, drove the rebels out aud they disappeared
in the woods.
] don't remember az this time how long
il was before the line was reformed at the
brcastwOrks. As rule il was not the fault Of
the troops that the lines gave way and they
fell back, hut the want Of orders from our supe-
rior officers and probably the condition Of the
lines.

statement that the Regular Brigade was repuised
ia the charge on the works nc JonesbOro in Sep
TENDER, 1861, and being q member Of that

about IL. The writer's company was depOyed
for skirmishing in that battle, and was kept out
on the front until the brigade was drawn up in
line at the edge Of tho woods. In the brigade's
front was an open field filed with stumps. On
the opposite side Of the field were the rebels
behind works. When the brigade was ordered
% charge, the rebels pumped lead at a lively
rate into them Is they passed over the opening.
The writer fell over stump, but picked him
self mp as soon rs possible, and followed his
company. It did not take long to cross the
field aud drive the enemy from their works.
The brigade was ordered TO lie down be-
hind a pile of rails and commence firing

The rebels in front of the Regular Brigade took
10 their heels and were captured by some of

J. f. Conn, Bugcr, Co. Il, 4th U. s. Cav,
Windsor ILL.,, thinks COmFade Watkins, 9Th
Iowa. was correct in his statement that the
4th U. 5. Cav. and 9TH Pa. Cav did the charg-
ing on Kilpatrick's raid, near Atlanta. There
Is great difference in opinion regarding this
affair, but the writer would like 20 have honor
given where it Is due. The writer was Orderly
Buger for Capt Mcintyre, who commanded the
9TH Cav. that day, aud he ought 90 know some
thing about the charge. After vaiuly trying
10 cut through tho rebel General Clcburue's
infantry, Fitzpatrick counscled with his COM
mauding officers as TO the best plan Of action.
IL was decided that their only chance was TO
turn on the rebel cavalry and cut their way
out. The 18th U. 5. Cav. formed in the road in
columns of tours the eth Mich. formed on the
right and the 9TH Pa. Cav. on the left of the
ith U. ). The order was then given TO charge,
and 1t was a grand sight 10 see those gallant
three regiments 90 through tho barrcadcs.

Jacob Smith, Co. f. 9th Ind. Co. d, Both Ind,
and Co. II, Both Ind, Glenwood, Neb., regard
ing the claim Of Comrade Harker Nth Ohio
as to the killing Of Gen. Garnett at Carricks
Ford. w. Va, during the three months service.
says that at The time it was generally reported
that Garrett was killed by a soldier Of the 9Th
Ind. The writer knows that after the return
10 indianapolis member Of the 9TH was made
quite hero OF because OF this. Ii was reported
that Gen. Garrett was trying 10 rally his men
when the 9TH Ind. man ordered him to sur
render. which he refused 10 do, aud the soldier
killed him instantly. The writer knows that
the 18th Ohio did their share in that little
racket, but his recollection is that at one time
they were pretty badly mixed up, aud the boys
did not wait for their officers 10 get them in
shape. but went 10 fighting ON their own hook.
The writer says he saw dead rebels the next
morning all shot through the head. They
were Oh the right Of the ford, after they crossed,
in a field where the rebel line had been. He
would like TO know what became Of Col. Crit
tenden's negro cook, who shot the citizen that
hauled their knapsIcks at Philippi after the
fight there. The writer saw this cook under
guard at the courthouse, but never heard what
was done with him.
