GOING INTO PHILIPPI.
An Ohio Boys Story Of the Release Of Some Uniol
Prisoners and How He Lost q Flag.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIUBNE: I read
recently sketch of the battle of Philippi.
My regiment, the 10th Ohio, was camped
| at Grafton, some II or Ia miles away, on
the B. & O.. In the latter part of May
some of our boys were captured, with some
other Union men, and taken to Philippi and
put in Jail, and word came to us that they
were going to be shot. AS soon as [ heard
of it l went to our Captain, and wanted to
know if there could not be something done.
The Captain was not much concerned
about it, apparently, but he was willing
to get the boys out. There was some talk
of the whole command going, but there
was no move, and a few days later / got
two comrades to go with me TO Philippi on
June 2.
We were overtaken by a squad of the list
Va. Cav, sent to stop us, and waited until
the command came up with the 9th Ohio.
1t rained pitchforks until about 3 o'clock
in the morning. Then | started ahead to-
wards the town with a comrade named
Wright, but he fell into mudhole, and
went on alone
The I'd Va. was at the front, Col. Kelly
in command. l managed to join them
without it being found out by the officers
that | belonged to another regiment In
the daylight, as we plowed along through
! the mud, an old lady at a house on the road
raised cry of The Yankees are coming"
which aroused the rebel pickets, and one of
the sentinels fired and hit Col. Kelly, but he
was not badly wounded.
| struck out ahead once more, got into
town covered with mud, gun in one hand,
revolver in the other, and made for the
Courthouse. Just as I got to the gate a
shot from a battery from Cleveland, o.,
struck the steeple, stirring up the john
nies. The guards at the door dropped
their guns and skipped, and about 100
others who were in the building left it.
The National tribune., 1899-09-21

So, 600, Independent of cavalry. So it ap-
pears that the combined Confederate armies
that met us at Chickamauga were about
$4,000.
Rosecrans had present for duty about the
same number, but 24,000 of them were
needed to guard his communication from
the field of battle to Nashville, so that he
could lead into action only $4,000.
No wonder the South felt that they had
received no adequate returns for all that
slaughter of brave men. exceeding Gettys-
burg in killed and wounded by 537, and that
Longstreet declined the command when
offered him by President Davis. saying
that "the officers and soldiers were dis
appointed and disaffected in morale" and
that the time had passed for the handling
OF, that army as an independent command.

April 81, the lines north of Baltimore were
cut, causing silence even more porten-
tous. On April % wire was run from the
main city office in Washington to the Exc
cutive Mansion.
The rapid concentration of troops and
military supplies at Washington now be-
came of gravest importance. In this trying
emergency the War Secretary (Hon. Simon
Cameron) had recourse to Col. Thos. A.
Scott (also of Pennsylvania), who had
achieved a brilliant reputation as railroad
manager. Scott hurried to the Capital, and
ascertaining the requirements of the Gov
ernment, was not slow to take men from his
road the Pennsylvania to fill the most
important subordinate positions. Among
these was Andrew Carnegie, Superintend-
ent of the Pittsburg Division.
The only railroad and telegraph lines
leading from the Northern States to Wash
ington City left intact were located in
Maryland, State whose loyalty was ques-
toned. This added greatly to the gravity
of the situation; although the secessionists
of Baltimore were not in a numerical ma
| jority, yet they were domineering in prac-
tice and this city with its ugly disunion
mob lay astride of that remaining route,
equi-distant between Washington and
Philadelphia.
Late on the 10th a company Of militia of
the District, on behalf of the Government,
entered the Washington City telegraph
office and compelled every operator to va
cate the operating room. No messages
were sent from that office in any direction
until noon of the Goth. Operators in an
adjoining room heard Richmond and other
offices calling them, and the remarks made
in consequence of receiving no reply.
| On the removal of the troops, Mr.. A.
Watson from the War Department, entered
the operating room as the first censor OF the
war; every message sent or received was
subjected to his inspection. The operators
We're not permitted to converse with others
on the lines, and when Richmond inquired
why calls were not answered on the 18th
and Goth, they were only permitted to reply,
It's none of your business"
| With wonderful energy the labor OF re-
opening the B. & o. Road was accom-
plished. Taking operators. with him,
Scott first moved to Annapolis, Nd, where
Col. B. +. Butler had landed with his troops.
Soon after Scott established his headquar-
tiers at the Relay House, where w. H.
| Fckert operated, and on Butler occupying
Baltimore early in May, moved to that city.
Parties having pushed south from Havre
de Grace, the railroad and telegraph once
more connected Philadelphia and Wash
ington, to the great relief of an impatient
Nation. In remarkably short period the
| blockade of traffic between Baltimore and
Washington was cleared away, and under
the thorough system then organized, the
enormous labor of transporting hundreds
of thousands Of troops and millions of tons
of materials and supplies during the sue.
ceeding four years of war was performed
| in a manner both creditable to the manage
ment and satisfactory to the Government.

would all commence at once raising the
wires with their telegraph poles. This was
done by making a loop in the wire, and
putting it over the spike, and raising the
pole to a perpendicular position. At in
tervals the wire would be attached to trees,
or some other permanent object, so that one
pole was sufficient at place. In the alb
sence of such support two poles would
have to be used, at intervals, placed at an
angle so as to hold the wire firm in its place.
While this was being done the telegraph
wagons would take their positions near
where the headquarters they belonged to
were to be established, and would connect
with the wire. Thus. in a few minutes
longer time than it took mule to walk the
length of its coil, telegraphic communica-
ton would be effected between all the head
quarters OF the army. No orders ever had
to be given 10 establish the telegraph.
How important this military telegraph
service was at the outbreak of the war,
April 10, 1861, The following incidents will
show. Seven days after Fort Sumter had
been fired upon the wires running to Phila-
delphia worked badly from Washington.

and about 2 p. m. party there rushed into
the telegraph Office, on the corner of Balti-
more and South streets. the leader armed
with hatchet, and demanded that the
Northern wire be pointed out to hirc. But
without waiting he hurried to window and
severed one of the lines. This was soon
afterward repaired, and a report was cir
culated Tin order to mislead the public that
all the wires had been cut; but in fact one
or two were crowded all day with Govern
ment business from Northern points.
On the 18th, as stated, all telegraphic
communication between Washington and
Richmond, Va, ceased, creating a silence
ominously oppressive. But about 10 p. M,

The attack on Fort Sumter, April -,
1861, having been teleGraphed throughout
the Union, was universally recognized as
a declaration of civil war. President Lin
coin then called for 1900 troops, and so
quickly was it done tlat / remember well
that 100000 men promptly RESPONDED and
were prepared TO enter the Union army.
Senator Wilson's telegram to Gov.
Andrew, of Massachusetts,, for 20 COM

the brigade was telegraphed for 10 save
Washington. But five Pennsylvania COM

with this branch of service would proceed
to put up their wires. A mule loaded with
a coil of wire would be led to the rear of the
nearest flank of the brigade he belonged
to, and would be led in line parallel there
to, while one man would hold an end of the
wire and uncoil it as the mule was led off.
When he had walked the length of the
wire, the whole of it would be on the grour d.
This would be done in The rear of every bri-
gade at the same time. The ends of all the
wires would then he joined, making a con-
tinuous wire in the rear of the whole army.

got into the Courthouse soon after they
went out, and thinking there must be a

the Treasurer's room, and found one sure
