Though | must not he too hard on our
committee of the 18TH Ohio, from the fact
that | have since learned that this was
Il peculiar case. 1t seems this one flag
had been a present TO the Both La by the
ladies' of New Orleans. The organization
at New Orleans having located the flag
Mt Columbus, o., they Immediately set
about to have it returned to them, and
for more than 10 years they have been
in correspondence with the committee of
the 10th Ohio with a view to that end,
pleading their ease so strongly, yet in Ian
guage so mild. pathetic and persuasive,
that our committee finally yielded, with
the above results. Though it might be
right in this one particular case, it is 4
dangerous precedent, and should never he

Brigade having gone out on the other road
two or three miles, and that. the, First Bri-
gade would camp at the forks, so il would

were so close that we could distinguish

During this time do not remember see
ing anything of the First Brigade, though
they may have been along, for it was very
dark. When we made connection with
the Third Brigade we were told that the
honor of changing Il most complete rOut
to a glorious victory was due TO the valor
of the LIST Ala Cav. of the Third Bri-
gade. This regiment was camped some
distance from Kilpatricks headquarters,
and was not discovered by the rebels,
which gave them the opportunity to form
and charge while the rebs were in an I'M
organized mass engaged in plundering the
camps. | understood that Fitzpatrick got
around to the camp of the LIST Ala. and
led the charge in person.
Some of our infantry, who, like us, had
marched all night, came ur shortly after
we did. The next fight was Averysboro,
where our three brigades stopped and held

FRANKLIN AND NASHVILLE,
And a Visit to Memphis, the Scene of For

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: was
pleased to see the article by Comrade
Booten, of Co. ID, 9TH III. Cav, as the
writer was memoir Of Co. G., of the 9TH,
and participated in the battle of Nash
Vile, on Dec II and Is. 1864. On the
18th we passed through Franklin, turned
to the left of the pike, and Travelled a CON
siderable distance south, then turned to-
ward the pike and came in the rear Of
the rear guard of the Confederate army,
then in full retreat. There were some
doubts as to whether they were our men
or the enemy. The ground over which we
had TO pass was very soft, our horses GO
ing up to their knees every step. | re
member the battery planted in our front.
We dcployed to the right and went into
the battle. The battery was taken by our
men and hauled back to our lines that
night think there were four guns.
We of Hatch's Division belonged
around Memphis, Tenn, but we had come
into Middle Tennessee to help drive For
rest and Wheeler ont, and while we were
there Hoods army had made its appear
ance at Florence, Ala. So our division
aud another were placed to watch Hood s
movements. He lay with his army about
five weeks near Florence, resting up and
recruiting and otherwise equipping his
army for march On Nashville. We had
some severe fighting while we were fall
ing back. 1t has been a long time ago,
but when | read the comrades article 1t
brought it all back to my mind.
Last month | was South. l visited
Memphis, and as our regiment had been
at and in the vicinity of Memphis great
deal during the war, | was anxious to
get there.
While we were in Memphis, in August,
1864, the writer was taken sick and sent
to the Overton Hospital; so when l was
there this time L wanted to see If l could
find the building that was used as hos
pital Friends and | took ride to Ra-
leigh nine or ten miles out on the electric
line, which passes along Main Street.
Keeping a lookout for the building, | dis
covered it, and when we came back L Wis
tied it. l was right. 1t had been the
Overton Hospital during the war, but is
now the Court House. There have been
two stories taken off of it, being now
three stories. / called for the JanItor ana
told him that | wished to look over the
building. He accompanied me ana we
went to the third floor. 1t looked natural
to me. | wished to find the room L was
sick in, so went to the northeast corner
of the building, and there was my room
lust as it was &c years ago. We also
spent several hours in Court Square,
which is Just as it was during the war. L
found the Irwin Block, which was used Tor
a prison. 1t fronts on Court square ntl
the name is changed on the building. We
visited the National Cemetery, which IS
about six miles out, on the electric line,
toward Raleigh. 1t is a beautiful place
and nicely kept. Twelve of the large
siege guns were taken from Fort Picker
ing and stood on end, muzzle up, in differ
ent parts of the cemetery. Memphis is

and seems to be prosperOus.-WEsLEY

Wednesday, Dec. 81 was up this
morning at 4 o'clock, and got my break,
fast in this manner: l set tin of coffee
on to boil, then put piece of beef in a

meal as well as l ever did a Thanksgiv-

We marched at daylight, and wound up
through well-peOpled valley. The Union
people were wild to see us. We passed
through Mount Verd, Il place where there
was large wooden factory, and for the
past year or two it has been steadily max

sight to see the factory girls filing out
when the order was given.
During the day we passed near Athens,
and we kept marching steadily on; many
men fell out Of the ranks, being too IA
tigued to keep up, and our ambulances
were full. My feet were pretty sore, but
