AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR.
For the s~rsrisnL.l

For the SENTINEL
On the 10Th OF December. 1864,
General Ed Johuson's division OF S. D.
Lees corps, lay to the left OF the
Franklin pike and about two miles
from Nashville. The four brigades
forming the division were commanded
by Generals Sharp and Brantlet,
Mi~ssissippians, and Day and Mana
gault, Alabamians.
There had been u fierce and sangui-
nary struggle going on all the morning
on the right Of the line. aud the sullen
aud steady boom OF artillery, the
bursting of shells with the rolling,
compact sound of small arms and the
wild cheering Of the men, told US Of
the left and center that our right wing
was safe, and that Hoods 80, 900 latter
ed, hungry and barefoot troops were
holding their lines against 100000
evening the Union forces began moving
in our front and to osr left. Gen.
Sharp was ordered forward Ia protect
two brigades that we're threatened by
a flank movement from the Union
forces. At the "bugle call' we fell
in" and followed the general through
an open field, over u stone fence, and
then stumbling through and climbing
over a stake and rider fence, we re-
formed and moved quickly but
cautiously up a gentle slope to the
brow of the hill. AS we reached the
summit we saw the Union force in
compact lines, about two hundred yards
off, coming up rapidly in our front.
We were in time-five minutes more
would have put the exposed brigades
at the mercy of the enemy. Pouring
a deadly fire down the hill into their
ranks we we're answered by a vicious
storm of bullets which made it any
thing but pleasant for US.
We had to stay there a while. Failing
upon our knees the men literally
overwhelmed the lad v~ancing lines o.
the enemy with the rapid and deadly
discharge OF their guns. The lines O.
the enemy wavered and the men soor
began to seek shelter.
About this time, through some
, misunderstanding of an order, oul
lines parted and we drifted away from
the brow of the hill. Then was enacted
one OF those thrilling scenes that stii
the best blood of the soldiers hear,
!, and which battle alone can furnish
! General Sharp saw the ecror. Setting
spurs to his little IA pony-the on
2 he always rode in battle-he dashed
Y toward among the men, and seized the
: tattered banner of the 10Th Mississippi
D He called the boys to go with him
+ AS he turned in IA half canter the color
y bearer, with tears streaming down hi
; face, begged for his colors, ant
: following on a dead run. But the littl'
general s mettle was up, and us he rad'
g forward a gentle breeze caught thu
t dear old banner, with its battle rem
{ bars and with many OF its stars sho
from it's pure blue field, and wrapped
! it about his head and shoulders, as /
. to cover him from the storm of battle
e The men stopped, reformed on tn
instant-then the rebel yell-and then
j. like so many demons of war, the
followed our ensign of battle back I
a the brow OF the hill.
The Two brigades we're saved.

was swirling above him and the keen
blasts were rocking the tree tops and
