ate, and without any of the self-assumption
that is apt to distinguish boys who are
thrown much into contact with men.
There may have been more desperate bat
ties than Chicamauga, but must confess
was never-tn one. 1t is particularly men,
orable to me on another account, and that is,
that for the first time | felt that we were
badly licked, something that had not hap
pened to the Army Of the Cumberland up to
This time, and which was destined not to be
repeated.
AT the Sattle Of Chioamauga Johnny Clem
lost his Guidon, but instead of going to the
rear, as Ssyas told, he picked up a musket,
there VI ks%housands scattered about that
awful summer day, and bravely took his place
in the ranks.
Johnny's regiment did good deal Of firing
lying down that day, and he followed the
fashion OF his comrades and loaded and fired
as rapidly as the best.
Late in the afternoon the regiment fell back
20 the hill which Thomas made immortal, but
Johnny did not hear the order. He was left
almost alone in the whirl OF the battle, and
did not discover his danger till he heard the
wel-known yells Of the enemy about him.
Johnny had his piece loaded, when he
sprang to his feet and started to run for the
hill, which was now cone Of fire. A mounted
Confederate officer, who must have been sur
prised and amused at sight Of this little mite
Of a soldier in blue, relned in and shouted {:
Surrender! you little son of -"
As Johnny looked up he brought his piece
to an "order arms, slipped his hand to the
hammer, Cooked it and as quickly raised the
musket an&flred, and the officer reelod and
fell from the saddle.
The next minute the boy, with hundred
others, was scooped up prisoner, but before
ne had gone back hundred yards he was re-
captured by his own regiment, as were his
companions, and carried up the bill amid
ringing cheers.
After the battle General Rosecrans made
the boya sergeant, and he wore the chevrons
with as'nuch pride as ever a general felt in
his stars. Secretary Chase forwarded him a
silver medal, and the boy would have been
sent to West Point but he lacked four years
Of the legal age.
After this Johnny Glenn became an orderly
Mt headquarters, and he performed his duties
as wellsand modestly as when he beat the
drum for the Twenty-second Michigan.
He is now, believe a captain in the regu-
lar army, and it is safe to say he is the young.
est veteran in the service. If it be true that
the boy is the father Of the man, Captain
Cem is as gentle and modest as an officer as
when he carried the guidon and stood fearless
amid the carnage OF that hell at Chcamauga

have spoken with Confederate and Union
soldiers who took part in the desperate bat
tie of Allatoona Pass in Georgia, on the 9TH
Of October, 1864, and all are agreed that for
the numbers engaged and the bloody nature
OF the work, 1t has no parallel in the history
Of our war.
General John N. Corse, late resident OF
Boston, with about two thousand men, was
pressed in by General French, of Hoods
command, with force estimated at nine
thousand, all trained and tried veterans.
Although hardly one-fourth the enemy in
numbers, We had vastly the advantage in
position, and thanks to Colonel, afterwards
General Tourtlette who had had command
before we came down from Atlanta, the place
was well fortified, though it was deficient in
artillery and particularly in artillery amuni-
ton.
The hymn Hold the Fort For Am Com
ing" had its origin in this fight. Knowing
that Corse was pressed in, Sherman twenty
miles away, signalled, for the telegraph lines
were destroyed, "Can you hold out, help is
coming?" To which it is said Corse signalled
back the confident but rather profane re-
sponse, "IIl hold out till HI freezes over D
Soon after sunrise the enemy appeared on
the hills and in the woods all about the fort
and flag of truce was sent in by General
French demanding by virtue Of his superior
force, an immediate surrender. Corse re-
piled in effect that he was there to fight, and
that he was ready.
At once, six batteries opened on our works
and from the encircling lines Of men in grey
such a storm Of lead was poured in that
nothing could stand exposed against it
Young's Texans and Sears Georgians charged
again and again on our works, but the ad-
mirable disposition of our men made every
effort at dislodgement futile
Here and there the skeletons of regiments
on the advance works were driven back or
the main body, and by noon one-half o.
Corse's garrison was killed or wounded.
From the first II seemed hopeless fight
but never before nor afterwards did l sec
men so resolved to hold out or die as were
those who defended the Allatoona Pass thai
day. distinctly recall that it was not the
frenzied valor that distinguishes men in {
charge, but the calm resolution Of men who
determine to die rather than yield.
On such an occasion, where every mar
does the full measure Of his duty and Sc
shows himself to be the equal Of the bravest

The underground about Fort Saunders had
been cut down, and along the ground over
which the Confederates must pass in charg-
ing, telegraph wires had been interviewer
and spread, about six or ten inches from the
ground.
The object of this was to throw into con-
fusion the men assaultng the works, and to
hold them under the fire of our artillery
and riilemon as long as possible
To clear the way for the assault, Long
streets guns opened a terrific fire on the fort,
the artillery of which was in the command of
Captain Benjamin, who to my mind, exhib-
tied on this occasion more GOODNESS and
nerve than any man 1 ever met.
There was not in either army Il more
gallant body of men than Longstreets old
corps; this much justice compels one to
say. | had seen them in action many Il
time, but never before did they display such
reckless gallantry as distinguished them ON
this OCCASION
On the edge of the timber they formed, as
if for review, though our guns began to roar
as soon as the grey ranks came a sight.
Over tho slashcd space with the meshes Of
telegraph wires, they came in gallant style.
They were evidently unprepOred for this
kind Of obstruction, for they fell in ranks,
but only to leap to their feet, slouch their
hats, and dash on again, with their loyelled
bayoncts and fierce yells.
Only Longstrect's men could have kept on
under that destroying fire. Now and then
they were checked, like men pushing on in
the teeth of an awful storm, but they gave
not foot back
At length they poured into the ditch,
hoping to force their way through the en-
bmsmcs, but though the guns could not be
fired, they wero kept in position, and so
blocked the way.
There were only few hundred mon inside
the fort, for the space was limited, and the
coolest felt that if the enemy could get over
the earth wall we would have to surrender
or abandon the place.
From the first, Captain benjamin was con
spicuous for his coonoss. recall that he
smoked cigars all the time. When it was found
that the guns could not be depressed 50 as to
reach the men in the ditch, he at once short
encd the fuses with his knife, lit them
with his cigar and as fast as he did so he
tossed them over the rarapct into the
crowded ditch.
This he kept up till voices from the outside
shouted 1--WE surrender" when the guns
were run back and they came in.
r6t shells lit by Captain Benjamin were
put down so that the fuses burned not more
than five seconds, and Il slip in throwing one
would have meant death. But that young
officer kept his cigar going as if he enjoyed
it, and hurled the shells as coolly as ii
bowling ten pins.

think the old Ninth corps did its full
share of fighting during the war, and more
than its share of travelling. We were with
the Army Of the Potomac, taking an active
part in every great battle up to the spring
Of 1868, when orders came to pack up and
go West, though not to carry out Horace
Greelys advice.
In the summer Of 1868, one division was
sent down to join Grant before Vicksburg,
and two divisions under Burnside himself,
were sent into Central Kentucky to prepare
for the invasion of East Tennessee, then
and since the beginning Of the war, at the
mercy Of the enemy.
In November of that year, we had forced
our way through to Knoxville, but we had
hardly reached them when our scouts
brought in word that Longstreet, with his
whole corps and a large force Of cavalry, was
pushing north to destroy or capture us.
Burnside, if not u great soldier, was
unsurpassed as corps commander, and
never before nor afterwards did ho show
more ability than in preparing Knoxville
for the siege that followed and in keeping
Longstreet out.
Fort Saunders, named after brave soldier
who had fallen in this campaign, was the
key to our position. The enemy knew this
as well as did we, and as a consequence q
terrific struggle for its possession took place

raised to stop him, the Illinoisan sprang
lightly over the earthwork and ran for the
house like deer
The act was so sudden that we supposed
the enemy could not fire before he was under
cover, but We knew they We're on the lookout
now, and that he would be sure to catch it
when he tried to make his way back.
We were in hopes that hewould not return,
but after few minutes Of serious waiting,
we could see the tall form in the door of the
house, his arms piled up with something that
at the distance looked like stove wood.
The man was too heavily burdcned to run
on his return. Back he came, and his ap-
pearance was the signal for the rattle and
roar of musketey from the enemy.
How the man escaped is one of those
miracles never seen in these days outside a
battle field. He came over the works with
out scratch, and as he laid his load ofgrape
and case shot down in the midst of the
cheering gunners he said with a drawl:

afterwards he died. Watts did not make his
purpose known to Mr.. Murdoch or his family,
but they must have understood it. He
changed clothes with the dead man, took his
papers, and started for Atlanta as Joshua
Bell.
He had changed characters from prisoner
of war to a spy and he knew that detection
meant DEATH He avoided observation as
much as possible, but not so much rs to excite
attention.
When he reached Richmond, he examined
his papers, or rather Bells papers, carefully,
and he was shocked to learn that the man
whom he represented had an uncle, a colonel
in the War Department, who was a waiting his
arrival, and was ready to help him through.
To meet this man would be disastrous, SO
he changed his mind, and determined to
examine the ground and make his way
through as soon as possible to the Union
lines.
He put up at retired hotel, whore he re-
mained quietly for a week, and then, one
stormy night in early November, he started
to make his way through to Fortress Monroe
The story Of his adventures on this trying
journey would make most interesting book
At length, after being out ten days and nights
he ran into the Union pickets near Williams
burg on the peninsula.
He was taken in as deserter but after {
time he succeeded in establishing hisidentity
and was sent on to Washington, from whicl
point he subsequently rejoined his command
Sad to relate he was killed few months
afterwards.
