EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In the
Winter of 1S64-'65 l was on detached serv-
ice as Abide Camp of the Second Brigade,
First Division, Seventh Corps, commanded
by Col Ingleman, of the 43d Ill. was also
Acting Post Adiutant of the pest Of Little
Rock, Ark. During the Winter a detach-
ment of 25 men from the Confederate Army
of the Red River came to our lines, properly
equipped with official papers, to confer with
Mai. Gen. Reynolds. commanding the Depart
ment. They were brought to halt some
miles outside of our lines, where they went
into camp, their first official act being to
report through the proper channel to Gen.
Reynolds the number of men and horses in
their detachment, and that ratiOns and forage
were desired for that number.
This was sent to our Headquarters with
orders from Gen. Reynolds to send 10 days
rations and forage for the number named,
and to me was given the order to proceed in
advance and officially turn over the supplies.
AS l rode into their camp / was greeted
with cheers and escorted to their Headquar
tiers, and made 10 feel at once that was with
friends, and not in the camp of the enemy.
But when the supplies came, and were being
unloaded, and coffee came in sight, the demon
stration of the day came, in which each one
of the detachment expanded his lungs to the
utmost They said it reminded them of other
and better days.
After little time in conversation with the
commander and others of the detachment,

Gen. Ashby, Of Little Rock; Col. True, of st.
Louis, and in fact, the entire "outfit," and
all seemed to take an interest in me, and
wanted to talk. One of the company asked
favors of me which could not be granted, and
which he will remember, if alive, and this
should come to his notice. We parted friends.

During the day we again witnessed the
same demonstrations of joy by the citizens
that we had seen the day before. Evening
coming on, we went into camp not very far
from Rutledge, our former home. l had
gone to my quarters, and was fast asleep,
when large party of my old friends and
acquaintance in and around Rutledge

which only those that know might see, and he
responded with, "Close up, Co. A." The
commander Of Co. D was always jolly with
his men, but now he only said: "Close up,
boys" The Lieutenant in command of Co.
F, who never wasted words in camp or field,
ordered: "Close up." And the warning
went back to the last file of that marching
column.
There was tighter grip on the stock of the
gun, and the point of the bayonet was carried
little higher. There was difference in
the step. Unconsciously the will frightened
the spring at the heel. The grim file-leader
at the head cast his eyes from the front to the
sun and back. He was counting the miles
and the hours. He heightened the pace and
shortened the time That pounding at the
front was ominous. The pace became a
stride. A half-mile away, and for the first
time the file-leader glanced back. A third

We moved up and went into campat safe

two battalions spliced, resulting in the

My lips adhered to it. l was fastened to the
bucket, and did not know what to do. How

run over the edge of the bucket, and so
thawing my lips loose.
When we left Grayson we marched to the
Esthem Tunnel, about IL miles from Ash
land, Ky. We embarked on fat-cars. Our
eyes must have been very red when we got
to Ashland, as We were subjected to much
smoke and falling cinders ON the way. We
had ON citizens clothes, and looked, no
doubt, like a lot of Confederates starting for
the general rendezvous at Ashland.
We descended the Ohio to Camp Swigert
on the steamer Boston, which at that time
piled between Portsmouth and Cincinnati.
At Camp Swigert we became part of the 22d
