about 5 p. m. on the evening of the 10th
and reached Washington about 1 o'clock

road to Fort Stevens. Our regiment, the

right resting on the road leading past Fort
Stevens, and within five minutes after our
arrival we were in the fight. My i'm
pre- sion is that we were the first regiment
of the brigade on the ground, but l would
not say for sure. as the regiments formed
on the right and left of the road just as they
came up. l do not know whether the 102d
was on our right or left that evening. as
there were enough men dressed in gray in
our front to demand all our attention. and
as they all seemed very anxious to get to
see the National Capital we had all we
wanted to attend to in keeping them back.
believe the balance of our division came
up on the 18th of July. and think there is
where the comrade makes his mistake in
overlooking the fact that the First Brigade
arrived on the afternoon of the 18th, as l
know that it was generally supposed at the
time that had the infantry been one hour
later getting there Fort Stevens would have
been taken by Gen. Early.
If COmrade Lord will consult the official
reports of that fight he will find that our
regiment lost two men killed and II wound
ed. and it does not seem at all likely that
we would sustain that loss without firing
gun. / know that if the comrade had been
on the left of the road in front of Fort Stew
ems on the evening of July IL. it would not
have required much time to convince him
that part of the Sixth Corps was there, at
least and doing some firing, too.-R.

The Gallant Defense of a Blockhouse.

Occasionally some of our city papers
remember that during the war of the rebel
lion, Americans did some quite as credit
able things as are being done in South
Africa. The editor of the st. Louis Star
finds that Cronjc's defense did not compare
with that made by the rebels at Vicksbllrg,
Port Hudson or Petersburg, and concludes:
Speaking of resistance of the few against
the many, may be mentioned that of 20
Federals, belonging to- the 175th Ohio
garrisoning blockhouse onthe Tennessee
and Alabama Railroad. i1,The commander
OF the squad, failing to receive his order to
evacuate, was caught by Hoods advance
upon Columbia. He shut his command up
in the blockhonse, laughed at all demands
for his surrender, and resisted every effort
to displaue him. srf
The siege Of Nashville lasted 30 days,
when Hood's army was defeated and driven
back. AS this blockhotise was approach
ed by the Federals Old Glory was discov-
cred floating free to the breeze, and inside

prising three corps. and held the right of
Gen. Sherman's army, closing in on the
city of Atlanta, then valiantly defended
by Gen. Hood with his veterans. who,
though ragged as to uniforms, always
seemed to have their guns in good work
ing order.
The fanking movement which ended
in the capture of Atlanta was about to be-
gin, when two regiments of cavalry, the
9TH Ohio and the 9th Mich. commanded
by Israel Garrard. We're ordered by Howard
to reconnoiter the dense forest in front of
Howard's fianking column of nearly 10000
infantry.
Owing to the dense underground in the
Southern forest. our cavalry was not able
to operate mounted. and we went into the
forest on foot as skirmiShers at intervals
of about 30 PAGES. We had an alert enemy
somewhere in front of us, and it was our
duty to locate this wideawake foe. We
advanced with the utmost caution and
every cavalryman had his finger on the
trigger of his gun. Our line of skirmishers
extended the distance of nearly Il mile i'll
Howard's front, and 10000 men of the
Army of the Tennessee were concealed be-
hind our thin blue line.
We had advanced nearly a mile on the
beginning of the grand flanking move
ment to the right when that part of the
skirmish-line of which | was a part was
startled by hearing the breaking of twigs
in our rear, indicating the presence of n
possible enemy III exactly the wrong di-
rection. The underground was so dense
that it was impossible to see beyond 80
PAGES. and our advancing line instinctively
halted TO develop the cause of the uneX-
pected noises III our rear.
The veteran cavalrymen stood prepared
to meet what might come, and their seven
shooting Spencer carbineS were ready for
quick action. The noise in our rear had
been slight. but enough to put lis on our
guard. We waited a few seconds. when
We observed Il moving of the bushes, i'll
dicating some one coming toward us.
Soon we made out two officers i'll United
