Immortal Thirteen Hundred.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I read an
article in the issue of April from Capt. S.
T. Maxey, 9th Ill. Cav, relative to the part
Hazen's Brigade played in the battle of Stone
River, in which am sure the gentleman has
made some mistakes. He says "there was
no enemy on the east side of the river" 1t
was mile from Hazen's line to where the
bridge crossed Stone River, and l am sure no
pickets were advanced that far on the night
of Dec. 81, 1862. The enemy held the ground
where the Cowan House had stood, which was
only short distance to the right of the pike
Jan. l, 1863, was celebrated by an awful
cannonade. The shot and shell that made it
so unpleasant to us that morning came direct
ly from the front occupied by Hazen's men
the day previous. They did not come mile
and a half. Hazen held his ground intact, or
almost so. The 10th, l think, was on the
extreme left of his brigade and the first men
not driven from their position in the whole
army. So l always understood. "The
Egyptians fit nobly" was by-word with us
after the battle. The 10th was from south
ern Illinois, commonly called Egypt.
The Captain leaves the impression that his
brigade charged across the river to help
Van Cleve's men on the first days fight, Dec.
81. 1t was on Jan. this occurred. Van
Cleve was being driven by Breckinridges
famous charge of that day. The 10th Ill.

army (thc Fourth and Twcnty-third Corps),

Yes, glory enough; but let US all have our
share. The part of the Sixteenth Corps that
A. j. Smith commanded did not at that time
belong to Sherman's army, and was ordered
to Nashville to support the force under Gen
Thomas, and nobly was it done.
