GRAND SKEDADDLE.
Race on Bolivar Rights i'm Which the
Johnnies did not Catch up.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: wish to
tell something about the ,kedaddle on Boil
var flights in 1864. We were stationed
there on July 4, 1864, and could hear the
sound of cannon near MartinsbuTg, Va, and
could see the dust rise in clouds where the
engagement WAS going on.
We soon got word that it was Col. Multi
gan with brigade trying to keep Early s
whole command at hay, aud did do it until
after dark, when he retreated.
We were not ordered to the front that day,
and at night had out strong picket. /
was one of three detailed TO patrol outside
our pickles and toward the rebel pickets so
we would not be surprised in the night.
That morning when we made our last trip
out toward the rebel lines, we came back to
nearly our own pickets Th.re was a
cherry tree growing just inside the fence
along the road. We there dismounted to
get some nice, ripe cherries When / got
what wanted | jumped in the saddle and
yelled. The rebs are coming"
Well, to see those two fellows drop out Of
that cherry tree, one falling a,trde the
fierce But they got TO their feet quick.
When they got ont on the road they could
see no rebs, but was lying across the sad
die laughing at their discontinue.
We were soon ordered to camp, and when
in sight of it tie order Double-quick I;
fall into line" sounded in our ears We
marched past cur breakfast and il all ready,
but could not get even 10 our tents. which
we never saw again. We marched mp the
road 10 B j.iyar Nights. just on the sum-
NIT we received volley from the rebs that
woke us up, and an order came to file right
and dismount, one man to hold four horses
the Others to get behind the b.eastworks,
and we kept mp the firing lively for while.
Some mounted infantry or cavalry Of the
rebs were coming up along the Shenandoah,
apparently to get IN our rear. Co. Il was
ordered TO the left to keep them back. We
got SO interested that we did not notice what
WAS going on on our right. But as turned
around to fall back TO load, as we had been
doing all through, 1 saw to our right rehs !
They were in hundreds within hundred
yards Of US.
We all started TO run, the rebs in advance
diving at us with their bayonets. We had
the adj antace, for we were on horseback and
the rebs afOot Only one man got struck
with a bullet, and that was the point of his
saber. but it broke it and bent the scabbard
and brought his horse TO his knees.
As sooD as we got out OF danger we ran
right past an officer getting his men ia order
for retreat. Seeing us he cried out:
Go. b, fall into line"
The Sergeant answered:
Go 10 -; follow me, Co. i. / am in
charge Of this company"
Well, we got out of a dangerous position
in the rear. On the retreat we got to HAIR
per's Ferry, and assisted in getting property
and citizens across TO the Maryland side.
When all was across we cut the pontoon
bridge that spanned the Potomac at Har-
per's Ferry, on the Virginia side. That ended
the skedaddle. McKrSLEY. Can

Climbing the

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
is from 700 to 1900 feet deep. a general
average is perhaps 1900 feet Al many
points the walls are absolutely vertical
and are embellished with gigantic fittings
and pinnacles Architectural forms OK
great variety are seen These combine
with the vivid coloring 10 form a scene q
beauty and grandeur.
Interspersed among the vertical decliyi-
ties are smooth slopes. set at various
angles. Many of these can be climbed.
some with much difficulty. others With
moderate exertion. Care must be exer-
cised as regards footing, but for good muscu-
lar exercise and lung development the feat
is worth trying.
To stand in the bottom Of this huge
trench aud gaze upward at the Philistinic
walls. touched with beauty by the hands Of
God; to watch the emerald stream rushing
through its narrow prison in foamy rapids
and vertical leaps; to see the flashing OF the
sunlight athwart the walls, are well worth
the effort required to climb them.
There is no danger in the attempt
care is exercised. The climb into and ous
of this wonderful place where naught OF
life is seen, save the circling eagles tag
overhead. is a profound experience.

About this time the officers in charge en-
tered the inclosure, and called the roll of a

We were informed that there was TO be a
special exchange of those whose names were

The repeated attacks of Bragg.
The soldiers who did the fighting
at Stone River will tell you that Rous-
seau had little TO do with the success of
that battle. In those days Sheridan was q

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / wish TO
say something about our brigade (Hazen's)
at Chickamauga Early in the morning of
Sept. 20, 1868, while the fog was yet thick
and heavy, our brigade skirmish-line capt.
ured from the rebels wagonload of small
ammunition, which was a great benefit to
us and seemed very much to enrage the
enemy, for they made five desperate charges
Oh our front, once having four reserve lines
closely following the charging column All
OF these were repelled.
We had one brand-new regiment in our
brigade, the 124th Ohio, Col Opdycke. All
eyes were turned on them when they took
their place in the front line that morning,
and heard Opdycke's words of encourage
ment. would only say that the largest third
of that regiment rest on Chickamauga's field
About 2 OF 3 o'clock in the afternoon our
brigade was detailed TO retake ridge to our
right and rear We formed in hollow square
The battery commanded by Capt Bierce
moved up on our left. The one on our right
was the 4th Ohio. The charge was made,
the hill taken, peace and quiet were re-
stored, and we went back to our old posi-
ton.
When we reached our old position a
change had been made in the lines, so that
our brigade did not fill the gap. The enemy,
discovering this breach, made an attempt TO
flank us there, which caused us to charge
direction, moving us perhaps so or 100 yards
from our position. This new position we
held.
Finally, with the coming of night, came
other changes. Firing on our front died
ont. We were ordered to quietly as posi-
bic move again. How much of our brigade
took part in this move ] am unable 10 tell.
We went up the same ridge we had helped
to capture in the afternoon, and when we
reached the top were ordered to lie down.
While here we discovered that one or two
Union regiments had surrendered in the
darkness We were ordered TO hold our
fire till signaled, then to do our best. Soon

the beat of the battle, his long, black hair

Ass to our works, the boys even took
benches out of the chapel to make barri-
cadeas Our position was about 900 yards
fromHhe chapel. The comrades of the 18th
Ind. 9and 9Th Mo. (Col. Curley) did their
share of the work.
When the 18th Ind, 9th Mo. and, I think,
31st Mo. and 10th Ohio were together my
recollection is they never turned their backs
to the foe. / saw dead Louisiana Colonel
and seven others lying by tree. counted
121 Others dead in front of our brigade after
the battle.
In few days our regiment was detailed
to guard the supply train. The order was
not to fire until commanded. A rebel col
umn was about so yards from our front
when we fired, and the enemy was within
25 yards in several of their assaults, and
their assaults were as desperate and de-
termined rs experienced at any time in my
three years and eight months service.
Thence we left for Jonesboro, near Love-
Joy, when we were engaged again. Old
