AN I0WAN AT DONELS SON.
In the Thick of the Misunderstanding Into
the Fort by Order of Grant.

EDIToR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 1 have
read with interest the articles of Gen
Green Il. Raum, especially that on the
Battle of Corinth in your issue of Dec 20
At the battle of Fort Donelson, Feb
10, 1862, the writer says Gen. Grant
"hastened to the left of his army and or
dered Gen. @. f. Smith to assault the
rebel works. Gen. Smith at once ordered
an assault and carried the Notifications
by Storm"
This order was to Col. Tuttle, of the ID
Iowa, to lead the assault. We were near
the top of the first ridge from the rebel
works, were Immediately formed into line,
and as Col. futile rode along the line on
"Old Yaller" he said:
Boys we must take the works on the
next hill.'
the hill and started up in two columns,
the cOlors with the first column. We
went forward through a heavy abatis of
fallen trees under heavy fire from a bat
terry on our right and musketry in our
front. Many fell on the hillside, but we
pushed on without firing a shot until we
gained the rebel works. We crossed these
and followed the retreating Texas Rangers
down the hill and toward their next line
of works, plying our guns on them with
telling effect. Many of them fell under
our fire.
While we were thus engaged an Indiana
regiment, which had been sent to our sup
port, as soon as they reached the outer
works halted and fired a volley. l am
fully convinced that some of the ID Iowa
fell under thHt volley. The bullets came
so uncomfortably near to me that I
thought it best to put a big tree at my
back, while l kept up my fire on the re-
treating rebs.
While thus engaged 1 was wounded, and
seeing another soldier lying by log not
far away, L crawled to him and found
him to be a Texas Ranger badly wound
ed. Soon after our line crossed the rebel
works the battery on our right was again
turned on US, until some of our boys got
up and thus silenced these guns. | con-
versed with my Texas friend until 1 was
carried back to the breastworks, where
we lay during the night. We could plain
ly hear the commotion In the fort About
daybreak flag Of truce appeared on our
right, and communication was established
between Grant and .Buckner
The remnant Of the I'd Iowa started to
march back to camp, when we were met
by an officer from headquarters, who said

very near before they fred, and it was
quite a surprise. Quite an engagement
ensued. The 9Sth advanced steadily, re-
ceiving the enemy's fire in a very cool
manner. Many Of the regiments, on &C
count of the lay of the land, could not get
into position in time.
1t was nearly dark, and the General
could not get orders along the line in time
for concert of action, the dense woods
preventing.
The enemy opened on us with grape,
and sent it spinning through our lines;
shells came thick for a time, although
not so dangerous as to unnerve the men.
After some delay more troops came up,
and were sent to flank the enemy. Mean
while the 9Sth and two other regiments
advanced-an order that should not have
been given; but as 1t was out 1t had to
be obeyed. l was ordered to watch the
rear, and see that none but wounded men
came back, as some will crawl out of q
tight place if they get chance. My place
was fully as dangerous as the front, and
bullets flew thickly about, and a grape
shot struck within eight inches of my leg.
Our regiments drove the enemy steadily,
and soon others came in on the flank of
the rebs and they retreated. In the 9Sth
our loss was two killed and seven wound
ed. Serg't Boyer, of Co. Il, was killed,
and we will miss him much. Private Pat
terson, Co. L, also was killed.
After the engagement we stood in line
OF battle two hours, and it grew very cold
in the frosty air, many of the men being
wet above the knees, having waded a
stream in the advance. By 10 o'clock
we had eaten our dinner and supper to-
gether, of coffee and crackers, and went
in for sleep. This closed the day, hav-
ing left the Tennessee bottoms at noon
and at 10 p. m. were resting Is miles far

How to Find Out.

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are 70.

than any other disease and il permitted
TO continue fatal results are sure 10 foIlor.
Kidney trouble irritates the nerves, makes
you dizzy, restless, sleepless and irritable.
Makes you pass water often during the
day, and obligcs you to get up many times
during the night. Causes puffy or dark
circles under the eyes. rheumatism, gravel.
catarrh of the bladder. pain or dull ache
In the back, joints and muscles, makes
your head ache and back ACHE causes in
digestion, stomach and liver trouble; you
get sallow, yellow complexion: makes
You feel as though you had heart trouble;
you may have plenty OF ambition, but no
strength; get weak and waste away.
The kidneys must also filter and purify
the blood, so when they are weak or out
of order and fail to do their work you
can understand how quickly your entire
body is affected. and how every organ
seems to fail to do its duty.
The cure for these troubles is DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the world-famous
kidney remedy. In taking it you afford
natural help to nature, for Swamp Roos
is the most perfect healer and gentle aid
to the kidneys that is known to medical
science.
If there Is any doubt in your mind az
to your condition, take from your urine
on rising about four ounces, place it in q
glass or bottle and let it stand twenty
four hours. If on examination it is milky
or cloudy, If there is 4 brick-dust settling,
or If small particles float about in il. your
kidneys are in need of immediate atten-
ton.
swamp Root is pleasant to take and In
used in the leading hospitals, recommend
ed by physicians in their private practice,
and is taken by doctors themselves who
have kidney ailments, because they recog-
nize in it the greatest and most successful
remedy for kidney, liver and bidder
troubles.
If you are already convinced that this
great remedy, Swamp-Root, is what you
need, you can purchase the regular fifty
cent and one-dollar size bottles at the
drug stores everywhere.
