The Death Governor Fisk.

On the night Of the 21st ult. ex-Gov.
John +. Fisk, OF Kentucky, passed away
in his S1th year. In the turbulent events
of 1861 he played a very important part
and contributed perhaps more than any
other man to the success of the efforts that
were made to block the attempts of the
Secessionists to take the State into the
Southern Confederacy.
He was a New Yorker by BIRTH but
went to the Blue Grass State as a school
teacher in his youth, and studying law
was admitted to the bar. For over 40
years he was the acknowledged head of
his profession in the State.
When the troubles of 1860 to 1861 broke
out he was President of the Kentucky
Senate, of which body he was Il member
for some IL years By the death of the
Lieutenant-GOvernor and the resignation
of Beriah MagOfiin. he finally became act
ing Governor, and at the critical moment
turned over the State Arsenal to the
Union faction, offered and caused to be
adopted a resolution to fling" ont the old
Stars and Stripes from the dome OF the
State Capitol, and in various ways car
ried things for the Union cause with a
bold hand.
When John Morgan. having put himself
at the head of body Of Secessionists who
had determined to overthrow Gov. Fisk
and his loyal majority at Frankfort by
capturing them all, advanced on the State
Capital, Gov. Fisk seized train of cars
on which he loaded the States archives
and the Legislature and pulled out at mid
night. The next morning he opened the
Legislature in the Gait House at Louis
vile, and turned the State Government
over to the Union commander.
Gov Fisk stood high in the confidence
Of President Lincoln, by whom he was
several times called to Washington for
consultation. He was offered the mission
to st. Petersburg bys Mr.. Lincoln but had
to decline it for business reasons.
He retired from the practice of his pro-
fession with an ample competence some
II years before his death.

Comrade c. w. Paris, Co. X. 10th
Ohio. Mt. Healthy, o., has just returned
t" Mrs. Leila Stoy Swank. of Augusta,
Ga, a book of poems that he secured dur
ing the siege of Atlanta. Comrade Paris s
company had received orders TO burn n
large house which had been deserted by
its owner. Just before the house was
fired he took from one of the large front
rooms a book, about 10X12 inches. con
taining verses and poems, nearly all of
which seemed to be from Augusta, Ga. On
the cover WAS the name of Annie Winter;
on the first page, together with some
verses, was the inscription, ITO my
daughter, by her father, 7. W." and
dated Dec. Is, 1884. Comrade Paris came
across the book the other day while look
ing over some old effects. He wrote to
the Augusta (Ga.) Daily Chronicle, and
the notice was seen by Mrs. Swank. the
only daughter of Mrs. r. S. Stoy, whose
maiden name was Annie Winter. Thus
the book OF poems was returned to the
family after 3S years.

inforce the left Sheridan reached Ross
vile by a circuitOus route, restored order
in his division. and marching TO the sound
of the enemy's cannon" went TO the re
lief of Thomas. He had already been pre-
ceded by Gen. Granger.
BY O'Clock in the afternoon the power
Of the Confederate forces was conccn-
tratcd against Gen. Thomass devoted
troops. Thomas $ line had been rcadjust-
ed and the most available positions for de-
fense occupied and strengthened.
Probably at no battle in the history of
the civil war or of any other war. was
greater yalOr and endurance displayed
than on this occasion.
The Confederate forces were command
ed by men of splendid military ability and
great experience.
Bragg won distinction at Buena Vista
as an artillery officer, and on that notable
field received from Gen. Taylor that mem
0rable command. "A little more grape,
Capt. Bragg" Cheatham. BreckinridGc.
Hardec and Longstreet were there, sup
ported by able division and brigade com
manders. These men were there to secure
q great Confederate victory and drive
back or capture the invading forces from
the Northland; but they were confronted
by men of equal valor and equal expert
ence, and this veteran army was under
the immediate command Of a man who

the word defeat was unknown.
This battle of the afternoon had ragged
furiously for two and Il half hours. when
the ConfederateS in overpowering mum
bers gained Thomas's right flank then
held by Rrannan, and took position in n
gap leading to the rear of ThOmas's line.
At this important juncture Gen. Granger
appeared on the scene. He heard the roar
Of battle; this was enough for him.
Marching rapidly forward, he saw the
point OF danger, he directed his movement
upon the gap. swept the skirmishers aside
and by charge led by the intrepid Gen.
Steedman drove the enemy from their po-
sitiOn. A battery of six guns was placed
in the gorge, and these were well sup
ported.
Two divisions OF LOngstreet's Corps
were assigned the task of taking the po-
sition. Their assaults were in vain; they
were successfully repulsed. Their last as
sault was made about sunset: it was re-
pulsed by bayonet charge. Brannan and
Wood were also assaulted with equal fury,
but held their positions firmly against
heavy odds.
Night came on; the battle of Chicka-
mauga was ended.
The Confederate forces Withdrew from
their attack. Thomas held his line until
81 late hour in the night, and then retired
three miles. to Rossvillc. He remained at
battle if attacked. No enemy appearing.
he withdrew to Chattanooga and took po-
stion with the other corps of the army
for the defense of that place.
An immense sacrifice had been made,
but Chattanooga, the objective point of
the campaign. had been won.

night made their reports, and received
their orders.
1t was believed that Gen. Bragg would
not abandon his plan of ovcrpowcring the
left wing of the Union army. with the
view Of recapturing Chattanooga: that
stronghold was the stake in the great COM
bat. .---s---s
The line of hattie was not changed. The
right of Rosecrans's army was at Widow
Glenn's house, southwest of the Lafayette
and Chattanooga road. and was held by
McCook's Corps. The left of the line was
northeast of the road, and was held by
Thomas. Minty's Cavalry and Wilder's
Mounted Infantry were posted one mile
north of GOrdon's Mills. on the Chatta-
nooga road. and the wagon trains of the
army were farther north, III the neighbor-
hood of Rossyilfe.
Crittenden's Corps was in reserve near
the center, from which point he could re-
inforce either the left or right.
At the dawn of day on Sept. 20 Gen.
Rosecrans was in the saddle, and began
an inspection of the line. He found the
entire army in position ready for the com
bat; he made certain changes in the posi-
ton of some of the troops. with 4 view of

EJ! or NATIONAL TRIBUNE: To say
nothing of the editorials, which are al
ways red hot and pointed at both ends,
when one reads all the other good things
in The National Tribune, it is difficult to
determine which is the best.
The writings of B. X. Benson, Lyman
:. Widney, W. W. Stone, and the versa
tile and poetic George Dallas Mosgrove
are good all the way through, and will
add much to the true history of the great
civil war; while those by the author Of
Isl klcgg and Shorty are likewise fas-
cinatng.

Aug. 16, rs noticed by Gen. Raum in The
National Tribune of Feb. 13. as |.
with a number of others, was sitting near
the steamer, watching the loading, when
the explosion occurred, and the pitiful,
heartrending screams of one poor scald
ed negro, who was pulled out afterward
with the skin and flesh dropping from
him, seem to ring in my ears today. 1t
was truly horrible affair. and as to how
any escaped who were any where near
the vessel at the time is one of the ques-
tions yet to be answered.
The number of killed will probably
never be known. as some We're killed and
others crippled who did not belong TO the
detail. Gen. Raum's estimate-f50-is
doubtless too low. If I mistake not, two
other boats near by witheut steam caught
fire from the explosion and We're totally
destroyed.-N G. SPARKS, Co. A, 18th

Dear tOmraht:
remember. the IRON Brigade very well,
and ! have often remarked to comrades
that this brigade. made up of the ID. 9th
and Ttn Wis. and the 18th Ind. was the
best body Of fighting men in the Union
army. The 2ith Mich. was added to the
brigade bofOrts the battle of Fredericks-
burg. and | must not forget Battery Il,
4th [. S. Art.5 Gen. Gibbons old battery,
which was generally near the skirmish
line in time - batfle. Gen. Gibbon was
Il dashirs letlcieI as you had occasion to
know. YVES Gen. Patrick's New York
brigade. 2Oth 21st, 23d and Both \. Y.
| was Sergeant in Co. ID. I'D y. Y.
Although in the same division with your
brigade, our services were not as brilliant
as those Of the Iron Brigade Gen. Pat
rick was cool and considerate in time of
battle and handled his men with skill and
without confusion, but he never voluu-
tcered, as did Gibbon. TO take the particu-
lar points Of danger to his men, remarking
that it was sad enough when ordered to
do 50.
