The call of taps did not seem to be as

should be, and | called in someone who
could write music, and practiced a change
in the call of taps until got it to suit my
ear, and then. a4 Norton writes, got it to
my taste without being able to write
music or knowing the. technical name OF
any note, but simply by ear arranged it
as Norton describes.

Speaking of use of bugle calls. l recall
the night of the severe, fight of the Second
Bull Run, or Manassas, where | com
manded the division Of two brigades, one
being absent, being ordered to retreat to
Centerville. All during the night my call
was sounded as we marched along de-
liberately and slowly after the hard fight
of the day.
AS these notes rang out clear and dis
tinct in the dark, still night, sounded by
myself, they would be answered by the
regiments, and the whole command was
moved without the loss of a Straggler 1t
was thrilling incident of war. Gems.
Warren and Griffin and Sykes spoke to
me OF 1t with much feeling, as marvel
lous effect upon an army corps moving at
night, causing it to move so steadily and
so correctly in the dark. The other
troops OF the corps knew the call well and
followed il.
have no doubt that many of the old
soldiers of my command in the Fifth
Corps, Regulars and volunteers, recall it.

of Co. G., 10th Ohio Cav. We were living al

Confederate cavalry and bushwhackers in
our vicinity. We had had several Skin.

men came to camp, and told me that five

dark we took ourguns and reyolyers, and slip
ping out through the pickets, went over by
paths until our guides halted at the edge OF
a small clearing and pointed to light 20C
yards away.
We sent our guides TO reconnoiter. In
about 80 minutes they came back and said
that everything was all right. The horses
were hitched under shed, and guns and re-
volyers were hanging in the hall. Then we
sent one of our guides to lead the horses
down to the fence and wait for us with them

Tragedy.
Editor National Tribune: In commu-
nication of Sept. Is, J. r. Holt, Sd W.
Va. Cav, of Long Glade, Va, speak, of a
Serg't koontz, who it was said were
brought to place designated in his letter
and shot without trial. As was a men,
Der of Co. l, 192d Ohio, then camped at
Rood s HILL Va, VIII give the details as
they come to my mind After the sur
render of Lees army Squad of Confed-
crate cavalry met and tisarmed squad of
Union cavalry, taking their arms, horses
and equipments. This being contrary to
the rules of war, there was an order is
sued by the Commanding General that ii
the parties who violated their parole were
found they should be executed without
trial.
In August, 1865, it was learned that
some of the men were located in Page Co,
Va. A scouting party of a Pennsylvania
regiment, under the command OF Lieut.
Col. Hussey, 1920 Ohio tCol. Butterfield
being then absent, arrested Capt. sum
mers and Sergt kOontZ. The Captain OF
the company refused to execute the order
there, but concluded to take the men into
camp. He took them to within about a
half mile of camp and halted
Word was sent to the Lieutenant
Colonel by the Captain that the men were
there, and he wanted to know what he
should do with them. The Lieutenant
Colonel being very strict in having all
orders carried out, they were executed.
] would occupy too much space if were
to relate all the incidents connected with
this sad affair, but will say that the ac-
ton of the Lieutenant Colonel was not
approved by the soldiers under his com
mand. One circumstance which was re-
ported at the time was that the day that
Capt. Summers was executed he was to
have been married to one of Virginia s
0dmSplS and IT renprtpH that nv T..a =
son OF SO great shock the lady lost her
mind.
| understood that those two were the
only ones Of the rebel party that were
ever arrested. Negotiations were imme-
diately entered into whereby the order
was revoked and the balance went free.
If anyone has the poem on the subject
composed by a member of the 192d
would be glad to receive a copy. -Simpson

Of the wagon to fat-car, and started out
and issued the rationS on the run to Column
| bia. The river bridge ut Columbia was ur-
safe, so we had to unload in a cotton-feld on
the north side of the river. The mud in the
| field was about bottomless But Col. Prather,
of the 10th Ind, came 10 my rescue; with
the aid of our boys and his regiment we got
the guns and horses off the cars. We cut
down trees and laid the end OH the cars close
together. and piled dirt on until we had a
nice incline made and the horses walked
down easily. The guns when they came
down settled in the mud of the field. The
Colonel brought his men up and they took
hold of the prolonge or rope, and brought
them up on solid ground
The next morning our officers came up to
camp. | had the guns all nicely rarked and
all nicely camped. The Third Brigade of
the Second Division, Twenty-third Corps,
got marching orders that evening for Pulaski
The next morning when we came to the
river we had another picnic crossing on an old
fiatboat
Wegot to Pulaski in pouring rain; every
thing was wet; the mud will not try to
tell how deep that was nor how sticky it
was. The Army of the Potomac had once
what they called mud march" but ours
was not n mud march rs much as it was
mud stick
Our camp life at Pulaski was of short dura-
ton. On Nov. 20 Schofeld, commanding
the Army Of the Ohio, with the Fourth Corps,
Gen. Stanley, got word from Gen. Hatch,
commanding the cavalry, that Hoods army
was on the move, and only few miles due
west of us, going for Columbia, and that was
the only point we could make. The question
was, who could get there first? Our brigade
commander, Col. Strickland, 50th Ohio, was
ordered by Gen. Schofield to prepare defen-
slve line by which he could hold the town, or
The National tribune., 1898-11-17

at least the crossing of Duck River at the
railway and pontoon bridges
On the Dist the cavalry reports left no
doubt that Hood was near LawTenceburg,
and the next morning our division of the
Twenty third Corps was sent to Lynnville,
about halfway between Pulaski and Column
bia, where it was Joined in the evening by
Wagner's Division of the Fourth Corps.
We soon got across the river and built works
in the bend. Soon after daylight on the 2Sth
the Confederate artillery opened on our divis-
ion, intrenched in the lower lands along the
river on the north side. The fire was re-
turned from our batteries. The 50th Ohio
was ordered to set fire to the bridge and burn
it, but it was a square log structure and hard
to burn. The shooting of the Confederates
was so lively the fire was failure.
Then we were ordered to concentrate our
artillery-fre on the bridge and knock it down.
We made the splinters fly a great many times
before we could get in good shot, and then
we tumbled the middle pier into the river.
Some Of the Confederates were then on the
bridge After the bridge fell they got in a
stockade on their side and opened CALLING
| fire on Us.
The stockade was built with logs on end in
the ground, and dirt thrown against it.
| w hen we opened our IZ-pounders SOHO shot
against those logs and yellow clay it did not
stand long think that fort today is the
last resting-place of some brave Confederate
soldiers. | leave it to ADLER pens than mine
to tell the story of how We got away from
Columbia; how we marched all night Of the
29th: how we built works without head-logs,
because we could not get them, and the
Johnnies repeatedly charged US at Franklin
on Nov. 80.
We were ordered to leave the line at Frank
lin as soon as it got dark, and get across the
river on ground little higher than the battle
| field, and when looked back on that battle,
still in progress, saw a sight that 1 can
never forget. Our lines were convex, the
Confederate concave around it, and there was
a steady stream Of fire from each.-JoHE S.
