DR.. cANR0H'S STORY
"reminiscences Suggested by
the Reading Of Inside of
Rebeld0m."
ENDORSES CHNNOH'S STATEMENT
As to tho Cavalry Fight the Union Left,
Nov. 30, 1864.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: One of
Hatch's cavalrymen, Comrade d. 3. Spencer
9TH H., attempts in issue of JAN 81 to cor
rect DIR. J. z. Cannon in his statement re-
garding the cavalry fight on our left at Frank
lin, Nov. 80, 1864
Dr. Cannon wrote: "When the remainder
of the army arrived and were taking their
places in line, our division (Loring's) was
ordered to move by the right flank We had
gone but n short distance when we en-
countered the enemy's cavalry. Wheeling
into line we drove them into the timber
above the town. Our cavalry continued
skirmishing, but failed to move them any
farther About 3 p. M our brigade was
ordered to the cavalry's assistance, and with
a yell we charged and then drove them half a
mile farther up DOWN the river"
The above is the entire Objectionable para
graph, and which | will endeavor to prove by
official reports to substantiate my own testi-
mOny, is literally correct.
Let me give few extracts from Gen. J. d.
Cox's story OF the battle of Franklin. As
commander on the field his statements should
carry some weight. He says
Soon after daylight of the Both, in obedi-
ence to orders from Gen. Schofield Wilson
sent Croxton's Brigade to the south side of
the Harpeth, and thence out upon the Lewis
burg Turnpike to the Douglass Church
Here CroxtOn covered the flank of our in
fantry column, marching upon the Columbia
Pike, and when the rear-guard of the Fourth
Corps passed this point, CroxtOn also retired,
and formed upon Gen. Wagner's left, facing
south.
Wagner having halted upon Winsted
Hill, and checked the advance of Hoods
army Forrest did not hasten the
advance of his overwhelming force against
Croxton's Brigade He ordered the
whole of Buford's Divisiondis, mounted to de-
ploy on the right of Loring's Division of in
tantry, and to 90 forward when Stuart gave
the word to attack Croxton re-
ported about 2 o'clock that the enemy's cav
airy had made dash at him, but being re-
pulsed moved off to Hugh's Ford, whilst in
iantry took their place
Seeing the array Of Hoods army in line
of-battle, CroxtOn withdrew his brigade and
crossed the river to the right bank by Nc
Gayock's Ford, leaving one regiment, the I'd
Mich, on the hither side, which skirmished
for some time with Buford's advancing
men,
Now for Croxton's official report (Rebel-
lion Records, Vol %, part II:
About 10 o'clock the rebel advance at
tackled US and skirmishing continued until
about o'clock, when their cavalry made
dash, and being repulsed moved up the river
toward Hugh's Ford, while their infantry
took their place.
81 at once crossed my command, except
the I'd Mich Cav, which was left to contest
the advance of the rebel ~fantry, which it
did very effectually, holo.-g their position

Brief Communication From an IISth Ohio
Man.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I have
seldom read anything with such interes. as
DIR. CannonS Inside of Rebedom." It
seemed 50 correct, so truthful, that after the
lapse of "a years it brought wildly to mind
things that happened in my immediate
front.
l belonged to Second Division Head
quarters, Twenty-third Corps; was with the
Headquarters wagons the night OF Nov 20,
1864. 1t was intensely dark, and about nine
o'clock p. M, before we reached Spring Hill,
we came to house which the rebs had fired.
They also had captured and burned IS of our
wagons, and were standing in front OF one
that was burning, no doubt getting some
rations therefrom. The guards fired on them,
killing one and capturing one, whom wa
turned over to member of the 9th Tenn. to
guard. About 10 o'clock we arrived at
Spring Hill. We saw fires burning to our
right, and supposed it was the Fourth Corps
gone into biyouac, and we guards spread our
blankets, thinking we were going to stay
there until morning.
The command came in whispers to move
without making unnecessary noise, as the
camptires were those of the enemy. | never
could see why Gen. Cleburne let US get away
that night.
On Nov. 80, about O'Clock p M, saw
the rebs forming for the charge on our works
at Franklin. ] can see them yet, on that
clear, bright, Autumn evening, getting ready
for the fray. They came on. Had Gen.
Wagner fallen back, as he was ordered,
there would not have been enough of Hoods
men left to make the second charge; but as it
was, the rebS and our boys came back to-
gether, and we were compelled TO fire before
our men got in. l was sent with some
prisoners across the Harpeth, and out of the
detail of six there was one killed going back
through the town; therefore, you may know
there was some danger back OF our works.

Still true TO his duty, he continued to

dragged ITS weary length over the icy
plains; and hunger, and madness, and
pain filled every heart.
At the head Of such an army, and in the
midst Of such difficulties was Ney com
PEELED 90 struggle, and with such soldiers
was he compelled to fight But undaunted
by the dangers that surrounded him-un-
subdued by the despair that rested on
every face-gnawed himself by the pangs
of hunger, and his limbs stiffened with the
frost, he still endeavOTed 10 keep alive the
courage Of his men: and with his noble
heart bleeding at the sights and the sounds
he saw and heard, still spoke encouraging
words Of France and OF safety.
Now helping q poor wretch TO his feet ,
and now lighting with his musket beside
the dispirited soldiers, he shamed even
despair. and made the dying give another
effort, then bless him they fell.
None but a man of wonderful intellect
could have held the moral power he did
over such soldiers in such calamities
There was grandeur and nobleness in
that character, which secured obedience
long after bravery and authority were for
gotten.
At length the scattered remnants Of the
French legiOnS reached the Nicmen, the
boundary OF the Russian territory. Ney
arrived destitute Of tToOps-the rear guard
had again melted away. Collecting in
haste few hundred men he found in the
town (Nilna), be planted - cannon on the
redoubts, and kept back the enemy all
day, while the army was retiring.
The next morning he continued his de-
tense, but the soldiers, seeing their com
Iades bending their footsteps towards
France, and away from the bullets OF the
Russians, began to follow after till he was
LETT almost alone.

WON BY CHANCE.



How Ensign Powell Wen. to Rescue Hob
son by . Lucky Guess.
In O letter recently received from En-
sign Joseph Wright Powell, q. s. N,
ON board Admiral Simpsons flagship
New York, off Santiago, by his father,
Elisha B. Powell, an attorney Of Oswe-
60 it appears that the young naval Off
Ger obtained command Of the launch to
rescue Lieutenant Hobson and his men
from the sinking Merrimac, which re-
suited in his conspicuous promotion. In
a novel manner The executive officer,
Lieutenant Potter Of the battleship New
York, in selecting an officer to COM
mand the launch, chose Ensign Palmer,
whose bravery had already been COM
mented upon by Admiral Sampson.
Mr.. Powell. eager for chance to
show his grit, hastened to Mr.. Palmer
and begged that he be allowed to go in
his stead. A prompt refusal met the
cadets pleading, but the latter's eager
ness was SO apparent that Palmer final
ly suggested that they draw lots. A
seaman was passing at the time, with
a package of cigarettes in his hand, and
Palmer said, 1.-THE one who guesses the
nearest to the number Of roots in that
box goes after Hobson.
Powell made the nearest guess, thus
winning the coveted command Execu-
tive Officer Potter approved Of the
unique idea in that instance and Powell
made the daring trip which won hin,
his rank as ensign and placed him three
numbers ahead in the line Of promo
tion.-New York Herald.

Wounded Lieutenant of the Regulars
Describes His Sensations.
Lieutenant Frank Mccoy of the
Tenth United States (colored) cavalry,
one of the wounded recently brought
from Baiquiri to Fort Monroe, passed
through Altoona recently on his way
home to Chicago. To New York Sun
reporter who talked with him he spoke
of the Mauser bullet, wound from
which he carried in his right leg.
You have heard great deal no
doubt recently" he said. "about the
Mauser bullet, its destructiveness Mt

trajectory. There are sonx things about
it. however, that have Recovered from

bullet had passed out the other side Of

was little hemorrhage and scarcely any
pain from the wound.
II saw one trooper who was shot
through the thigh sit upright on the
