has TO say about the advance and retreat Of
Steedman's command on the afternoon OF
Sept. 20, at Chickamauga. will, to say the
least be very amusing reading to any mem

and Miller's Chicago Battery, who took
part with Steedman in that battle, or the
| members of the 18th Ohio, which joined our

The Lieutenant says: I'VE old fellows

the vain endcavor to halt his troops on their

greatest dexterity in throwing stones. and
at the same time using language that

perfectly safe in saying that the verdict of
any Of the boys of Ste1dman'S command
would unhesitatingly be, with reference to
that II the Lieutenant was on that part of
the field that afternoon that he was so be-
wildered that he certainly must have been
a very incompetent officer.
The battle of Chickamauga and the part
Steedman s command took in it were quite
thoroughly discussed several years ago
through THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, and
III answer to the question put to the editor
as to what division lost the heaviest in that
battle i'll killed and wounded. after nvesti-
CATION he said that, in proportion to the
number engaged, Steedman's loss was the
greatest, and it was only engaged from
O'Clock p. m. until dark.
Now the statements which follow are not
entirely taken from memory, but copied
from diary kept by member of Miller
Chicago Battery, which was written up at
Rossville the morning after the battle. and
which gives a very concise account of the
part our division took in it. am quite sure

ment and the brave men of the Engineer
Corps dropped by the dozens. 1t was more
than mortals could stand: they retreated to
the shore. Again the artillery opened, and
again the rebel shore became silent.
This kind of work was carried on nearly
all day. when it was decided that something
different must be done. A consultation
was had which resulted in a call for vollIn-

which was composed of the 7th Mich, 10Th

the difficult work.
The two right flank regiments, the 7th
Mich. and 18th Mass, filed out and down
to the river shore. jumped into the pontOon-
boats, and pulled across the river. They
drove the rebel sharpshooters from their po-
sition, and each regiment deployed, the 18th
to the right and the 18th Mich. 10 the left.
1t was intended that the Goth Mass.
should wait until the bridge was finished
and then cross. but the order was incor-
rectly transmitted. and we were marched
down to the shore Of the river and got into
the boats then returning with rebel prison
crs, and took an oar and helped propel the
boat TO the other shore
