that he was in Atlanta, that the letter was
shown other Generals to be sure it was an.
thentic, etc. I, with five others OF my com
pany aud citizen scout, were ordered to re-
port to Gen. Slocum's Chief of Staff Or
the afternoon of the day we entered Atlanta
we were ordered to leave our sabers
blankets, and every man TO take two re-.
volvers.
After reporting to the Chief Of Staff we
were given verbal message to Gen. Sher.
man, telling him that Slocum, in Atlanta
had captured some artillery, cotton, etc. II
was quite long message, and we were
ordered to depart, and told that one of us
| must get to Gen. Sherman before daylight
This with the rebel army between us and
Sherman, who was at Lovejoy building uI
the railroad.

the General before daylight and delivered
our message. Sherman was AZ delighted al

Promotions Were Frequent In the Old ka-
nawha Division.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: was very
much interested in the story Of the Kanawha
Division, a. was member of that organi-
cation from Sept. 1, 1861, TO Dec. 30, 1852.
II seemed to me that the comrade omitted
some things that should have been written
in order to give tho division its proper posi-
tion in history.
As showing the estimate placed upon the
work of the division by the authorities at
Washington, the comrade might have stated
that when the division came East from West
Virginia, in August, 1852, it contained but
one General, ]. b. Cox; but, as some OF the
facetious comrades remarked at the time,
tho old division kicked up such racket as
to cause the stars to fall"
When we returned to West Virginia,
shortly after the battle of Antietam, five
pairs OF stars had fallen on as many pairs Of
shoulders, aud Brig.-Gen. Cox became Ma
jor-General, and Coils. Z. P. Scammon, OF the
Odd Ohio; Hugh Ewing, Both Ohio; George
Crook, 36th Ohio, and - Moore, 11th Ohio,
were Brigadier-G Generals.
When speaking of the review of the divis-
ion by President Lincoln, after the battle of
Antietam. the comrade s..ys the Colonel of
the Odd Ohio at the time WAS n future Presi-
dent; referring, suppose, to Lieut.-Col. r.
B. Hayes; but at that time Z. p. Scammon
was the Colonel of the Odd, and did not re-
ceive his appointment as Brigadier-General
until he arrived at Clarksburg, w. Va. Col.
about the same time.
was an Orderly at the Headquarters of
Col. Scammon from just prior to the review
uptil off arrival nj CIa rk shur and re-
member that Col. ScammOn was so impatient
to get his stars on his shoulders after he re-
ceived his appointment that he could not
wait for mastering officer, but called his
Assistant Adjurant- General into his tent rs
witness, and then laying his hand on an
open Bible took the oath OF Office as Briga-
dier-General, and Immediately assumed the
title.
would add that the 30th Ohio was the
first to be detached from the old division,
and for the reason that its Colonel, Hugh
Ewing, having been appointed Brigadier-
General. as well as the three other ColOnels
as above mentioned, and there being then
more Brigadiers in the Kanawha Valley
than were needed there, Gen. Ewing asked
permission to take brigade and join the
Fifteenth Corps then commanded by his
brother-in-law, w. T. Sherman.
On the Both Of December, 1862 Cen.
Ewing received the desired order, and
started for Vicksburg with his brigade COM
posed of the 30th Ohio, the 37th Ohio, the
47th Ohio aud the 4th w. Va.
On the 18th OF January, 1858, the brigade
was assigned to the Second Division of the
Fifteenth Corps, in which we remained till
the close of the war.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / want to
tell you about the explosion OF IL boxes of
ammunition at Resaca. The day following
the battle was detailed by order of Gen.
Thomas to report 10 Col. Baylor, Chief
Ordnance Officer of the Department Of the
Cumberland, for duty. Col. Baylor at once
turned over to me the ammunition and
ordnance stores on hand, with specific in
strnctions rs to my duties.
The ammunition was piled on the outside
of an old building, between it and the rail-
way track, in the open, and covered with
large tarpaulins to protect it from the
weather. A telegraph pole stood within
this pile Of ammunition, around which was
piled the 12-pound Borman fuse fort am
munition, piled eight boxes high. About
six days after taking charge of this depot
had on hand 100000 rounds infantry and
100000 rounds of the various artillery
ammunition in one long pile.
A thunderstorm struck Resaca one after
noon, and the telegraph wire, being sur
charged with the electric current, unoaded
itself down this pole in the ammunition,
and exploded IL boxes of eight rounds each,
and raised the lids of many more, in which

this old building at the time which used
as an Office. My first thought was that We
were attacked by the enemy, but in turning
toward the ammunition ! saw that around
the telegraph pole the pile had been opened
like crater, and the smoke was issuing
therefrom.
at once comprehended the disaster that
must follow Shermans army if this ammu-
milton was destroyed, with battle immi-
nent at Kingston or Cartersvlle. seized
an old campkettle and dipped it full of
water from the ditch, and mounted that
smoking pile of ammunition. Everybody
seemed TO have run away except a private,
who had taken shelter under the cover of a
wagon at the rear of this old building.
called to him to help me, and he came at
once, and then both of us jumped into that
crater and hove out the burning tow, and
with the campkettle We put out the fire.
This private l did not know. His name
il believed to be Ramie Jenesse; but, whoever
he is, would like to hear from him. At

Crossing of the Rappahannock
by the 9TH Mich.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Much has
been written for the purpose of showing
what troops OF what regiment first crossed
the Rappahannock River in front of Fred
ericks burg, Dec ii, 1862. 1 have never en-
tered this controversy, aud do not desire to do
30 at this late date, but feel that would be
secreant to my duty as one of the survivors

to return to the regiment with good supply

OCCUR to you what lot Of printers there

our volunteer printers to get ont an extra,
with all the latest news, and, tell you, some
of them were gems.

effects Of which Ne learned almost daily, by
papers gotten In exchange for coffee or
tobacco. on the skirmish-line between the
two armies, which were printed in range OF
this gun, with shells dropping around, and
oven through the printing Office. The editor
would say:
The Yankee gunners seem to have got
our range and We expect every moment ia
be knocked into pi. A shell passed through
our compositors' room yesterday, but did nc
serious damage, moro than to increase venti-
lation. Another exploded in the back yard
and another dropped into the cellar, but,
fortunately, did not explode.
"Of course, we are strongly urged and
tempted to leave, but after mature reflection
we have decided to remain with our people
and unless knocked clear to pieces the Sta,

When we captured Milledgeville, then the
State Capital of Georgia, the Legislature was

AS to belittling Prof. Snyder,
the chances are that when that
gentleman fully understands the
sitution, he will have quiet little
"laugh" of his own at the thought
of Mr.. Wright indulging in such
deep pathos and the chances are
further, that if Prof Snyder is
equal to his letters of recommended
ton, he and the editor of the
HERALD will become the best of
friends, in which event, there is
hardly any doubt but that the
gentleman of great records and no
school will have another "roport."
Was it ON account of the sickness
of his mother that Prof. Snyder
did not come to take his examina-
ton, or did he write that he would
not come to Idaho to teach if he
had to take an examination and
could not teach on permit? And
when Mr.. Snyder could not, or did
not, come, why did not Mr. Wright
proceed to get another teacher? We
do not blame Snyder, but there
seems to be niger in the other
fellows wood pile.
His statement that we want to
see the school failure is not worth
attention.
There are other matters in con-
nection with Mr.. Wright's COM
munication that we might notice,
but we hardly think it worth
while. We have already given
him more attention than the sub
ect warrants.
If Mr. Wright wants to do a
little shaming let him give some
attention to himself and he will
find fertile vineyard to work in
his conduct has been more shame
full than that of anyone else, and
las tended 10 produce more hard
feeling.
