On page S54 of the same volume Gen.
Granger SAYS: AS the enemy were gather
ing in force around Col. McCook / sent him
an order. at o'clock on the morning of the
10Th instant. 10 withdraw from that posi-
tion. This order was executed by z. a. m.
Nothing further than slight skir-
mishing occurred in our front during the re-
manning part of the day" Gen. Granger
further says: " The position of ny forces on
the morning of the 2oth instant, and up to
the hour of battle, was as follows: Col. Nc
Cooks Brigade was moved to a point near
McAfee Church, and was placed in such a
position as to cover the Ringgold road !;
Gen. Whitakers Brigade, together with Col.
Mitchell's, retained the same position they
had the evening before.
The enemy did not make his appearance
in our immediate front during the morning,
but large clouds Of dust could be seen be-
yond our position arising from the Lalay-
cite and Harrison roads, moving in the di-
rection of the sound OF battle. AT 1000 a. m.

Gen. Thomas was at this time engaging
the enemy at point between the Lafay

Of SnodgTass House, abont three and one

/ Gen. Rosecrans, it viii be remembered by
! those who took part in the battle of Chicka-
| manga that Granger was on the extreme
left flank of the army, and that Gen. Rose
/ Grams at III a. m. was at OF near the Dyer
| House, very near the right flank, at which
time he, with McCook's and Crittenden' s
Corps, comprising more than 10000 men,
were driven from the field, and retreated
down the Dry Valley road west of the vi
ditto House, and went through McFarland's
Gap to Rossville, and thence on to Chatta-

Where was the ne-of-battleu and the
horrible sights, and the mangled bodies of

Changers position near McAfee's Church

Thomas; and how did he happen to run
into Gen. Rosecrans, who must have been
at least three OF four miles TO the right of
Comrade Perry's proper line of march, and
fully that far from any armed rebels, at that
time?
OF course, we have all read how Gen. Gar

enemy, in going from Gen. Resecrans, after
the break in the line and they had been

long since been accepted as a mild fiction,
we cannot accept Comrade Perry's ride from

Gen. Thomas's position via Gen. Rosecrans,

Cemrade Perry says Gen. Rosecrans asked,
Who are those men with you" and he told
him, - My escort" and he said YOU with
your men, act as my escort until my body

Gen. Rosecrsns for Chattanooga, over the
hills, until we got to the valley, where the
General halted for lunch; then down the
valley we went towards Chattanooga until
we met has guard, and Perry, with his escort,
was relieved
From this account it would appear that
Gen. Rosecrans expected his escort to come

Chattanooga they met his guard" Just

10000 men streaming over the same route,

An Incident That Occurred at the Soaking
of Columbia.

OF Columbia.
EDITOR NATIONAL Tribune: In Your
issue Of Feb. 81, 1896, read Gen Howard's
account OF the sacking Of Columbia, S. c.
on the night of Feb. II, 1865. The scenes
described rose wildly in my memory. j
will relate incident that / witnessed
about IL o'clock p. N. on that night.
On the raid through the Carolinas / COM

Subsistence. As soon as the pontoons were

Were the first Federal troops in the city
But to my story.
About ii o'clock p m, when the fire was
raging aud entirely beyond control, / and
about six of my men sat on our horses at
the end Of one Of the business streets. The
smoke utterly filled the street, and it seemed
impossible for anyone TO live between the
burning buildings
Gems. Logan and Blair, with staff officers
and escort, were there also, discussing the
situation. Logan turned to Blair and said:
General, these men who are doing this
had better take care of them"
Blair did not reply, but pulled his SLOUGH
hat down over his left eye and leaned for
ward in his saddle.
At this moment the attention of all was
attracted TO cry coming from the smoky
street:
"Clear the track Clear the track"
Soon there came out of the smoke an old
chaise with the top thrown back, a lean,
CANT mule in The shafts, a soldier on his
back, and in the chaise three of his COM
rades. All had on extra high plug hats,
white, and each carried a tin vessel filed
with whisky.
The outfit pulled up 10 within 40 feet of
the two Generals. But il was some time
before the men could get the smoke out of
their eyes. They finally did, and at the
same time realized that they were in close
proximity to their commanding officer One
of the soldiers staggered TO his feet and
shouted:

that Christmas morning, so that ice formed
as thick as wfndow-glass, some of the boys
vert to sleep from sheer exhaustion. They
were soon ordered into line, and in the
darkness of the night, with the starry
heavens as silent witnesses, without word
of warning, the command, "Fire!" was
given, which was responded to with volley
of musketry, and fouF-of the five defense
less boys fell, and their bodies were thrown
down the bluff a distance of IL or Is feet,
into the cold waters of the river. Foley
and Orcutt, each unknown TO the other,
managed to free their hands, and foated
down the river, and by chance both landed
on the same friendly Shore Orcntt at the
ford, and Foley further down the stream,
and each found kind-hearted people who
cared for them.
orcutt wandered ip the darkness until he
saw the friendly light of home where q
mother was Watching with sick child.
Foley was found early in the morning by
boy driving the cow home to be MIXED; he
was so frightened at the sight of Yankee
soldier being there, as he supposed, dead,
that he ran in haste to inf form his father,
who came with sufficient help and carried
him home and cared for him, as he was
nearly dead from the cold, and exhaustion
caused by the suffering from his wound.
We cared for the boys as well as we could,
with the help of the kind-hearted Doctor,
and by their minute directions easily found
the Inflated place of few hours before.
We were not able TO get very near with our
horses from the direction we went, owing
to the make of the ground; bat we soon
came to the place, which we recognized by
the fresh evidences of the conflict of the
preceding night-LIEUT. w. w. JAMES,

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade
Vowel, of the I'd n. Y. Cav, on Feb. 6,
claims to clear up something at Lacy Springs,
Va, Dec. 20, 1868. His informant was some
what ratified in his remarkable statement
thatit was some "gterrila" who entered the
camp of the VermenteTs and deliberately
led off lot of horses"
In the first.placeswe lost no horses, and in
the next were not on picket that night; at
least, so far as know. 1t is true, we had the
advance, and j was in command of the adj
vance vldets, supportediby the regiment. 1t
would hardly be fair TO, the regiment to have
the advance and then be on picket.
We eamped south of the pike, and the
enemy came in our lines from the north.
The VermOnteTs were quickly mounted at
the first firing fronl.tbe north and marched
forward and droves5 the Conlederates from
among the AMBULANCE train, where they were
picking up horses.
We captured ourselves moro men than
Custer lost in his whole command. But
very few horses wereslost in the whole COM
mand. Some equipments were lost as the
men lit out without stopping to saddle.
But as far as the LIST vt. were concerned do
not know of their losing horse or man, and
history fails to state the fact that any horses
were captured. ii such was the case, surely
there is someone of the LIST Vt. yet living
besides myself who would know if any
horses were lost, as claimed by Comrade

berry, and soon returned with DIR. Jones,
who told me he had been a Surgeon in the
Confederate army, had been taken prisoner,
and was then on parole.
We then all rode to the home of our good
Samaritan, where we found Comrade Or
cult, shot through the bowels. The Doctor
made an examination, and went outside and
gave me the diagnosis. He said the ball
had lodged in his body, and he feared his
case was fatal, which fact We kept from
him.
While we were talking outside we saw
another horseman riding hard towards town,
and we soon learned that he, too. was after n
doctor for wounded Yankee that had
found shelter in his humble home. This
proved TO be Comrade Foley, shot through
the groin.
The information that we gathered from
these two comrades was that Foley was
riding with my rear wagon, when Lieut..
Porter overlook them with the remark that
his wagons were loaded and would soon be
in camp. just then band of mounted men
In civilian dress came upon them and de.
manded a surrender.
The Lieutenant answered with two shots
from his revolver, but they were soon over
powered, and Jacobs and Drought ordered to
mount behind Porter and Foley, and Orcutt
behind one of them, and they then rode
away as hastily as possible in as direct
route as the condition of the country would
allow distance of about 20 miles, when
they came TO the ford of the Elk River.
where we had traced them.
Here they held short consultation, and
instead of fording the river went up the
bank, which was quite bluff on that side,
about one mile, ordered a dismount, and
after, as they supposed, securely tying their
hands behind theu, told the boys to lie
down for rest.
This, they think, was near o'clock a. m.
Cold as it was-for there was q severe frost
