THE BATTLE OF CORINTH.
A Claim That the 18th Ill. Had a Strong
Hand in Saving the Day

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: | have
| been reading in your very Interesting pa
per of the battle of Corinth, Miss, fought
on Oct ) and !, 1863, written up by Gen.
Green Il. Raum. To read the Generals
description of that battle one would nat
urally come to the conclusion that the
18th Ill. and 10th Mo. were about all the
| fighting regiments engaged. l. would not
for the world dctract from the vaior and
| bravery of those two regiments, for | am
satisfied that they did their duty and did
it well. The General does not say word
about the 10Th Ill.
Now, when that battle commenced on
the morning of the Sd, the 18th III. was
out at Burnville, station on the Mem
| phis q Charleston Railroad, about 20
miles east Of Corinth. We got orders to
| break camp and be ready to march at
daylight, and just about that time a train
pulled in to take the regiment into Co
| rinth. Cos. A and X were detailed to
march through with the wagon-train. We
marched down to the depot, right i'll front,
ana commenced loading on the regiment
| from the right, and as they only sent ont
| six flatcars to take us in, Cos. l and III
could not get on. The Colonel ordered us
to march through with Cos. A and X and
the wagon train. The boys in my COM
pany growled quite good deal because
we had to march. | told them perhaps it
would be a good thing for some of them
that we had to march through.
| We could then hear the booming of
cannon, which gave us to understand that
the battle had commenced. Well, they ran
the train back to Corinth just as fast as
they could with the six companies, and
ran them on out 10 the battlefield, where
| they were soon brought into action and
badly cut up, losing quite number.
Well, the rebels seemed to have the ad-
vantage Of our men, for they stead

army inside of our breastworks,

we were not disturbed.
The next morning as soon as we had
drunk little coffee and eaten some hard
tack and sowbelly, Go. | was ordered to
march out III front and to the right of
Fort Richardson, to find where the rebels
were located, and when we found them we
were to march back and report. We
marched perhaps Il half mile, when we
ran plump into their advance. We then
marched back as fast rs we could, and
the Captain reported to the Colonel what
we had seen.
When we got back we found our rcgi-
ment drawn up in line of battle just in
rear of Fort Richardson. We could then
hear the rebels coming cat of the woods,
and the battery was playing on them quite
| lively. We We're ordered to lie down,
which we did and all at once the battery
broke and ran right through our regi-
ment. The rebels then had possession of
the fort and guns. Our regiment was n

Abducting Miss Ellen N. Stone.
Sofia, Dec. IN. Mihialowsky, pres
ident Of the Macedonian committee
recently made a speech at Varna, in
Bulgaria, in which he denounced M.
Sarafof, former president of the COM
mittee, and the Macedonians as agita-
tors. murderers and blackmailers.
Among other crimes, he accused them
of kidnapping Miss Ellen M. Stone,
the American missionary. The Mace
domains Of Sofia held an indignation
meeting here yesterday. Violent
speeches were made denouncing M.
Mihialowsky, and in which M. Sarafof
was eulogized as the hero of Mace
donian youth. This incident is import
ant, as demonstrating the schism in
the Macedonian camp.
Reports received here from Bub-
nitza announce increased vigilance on
the part Of the authorities and the po-
lice Of that place. Bulgarian official
circles are evidently much impressed
by the menacing attitude Of the United
States government in the Stone affair.
They declare, however, that they are
unable to do any more in the matter
than they have done already.
