mission was a daring and a hazardous

mission was a daring and hazardous
one.
Is not the theory most plausible that
the capture of Fort Granger was the OBJ
ject of their mission? Time and again
the enemy had failed to take the fort by
direct assault; why not now try it by
subterfuge?
Col. Williams Tor rather Lawrence W.
Orton) commanded a brigade in Gen.
Martins (Confederate) Division of Cav
airy, which was then stationed near
Franklin. and it is the opinion of the
writer that it was the mission of the spy
to secure the countersign for the night,
and when once safely outside the Federal
lines his re-entrance inside the lines with
his brigade and other troops would have
been an easy matter by the use of the
countersign and the capture of the pickets.
To have at once entered the camp with
out hindrance and with full knowledge of
position and strength of the troops, the
garrison would almost surely have been
overwhelmed. This may not be the cor
rect theory, but if such was the real pur-
pose the scheme came very near being n
success.
The garrison was not disturbed again.

GRAPESHOT.

Charles B. Palmer, Second Lieutenant,
Co. Il, 1st Wis. III. A, 4O1 \. Y. Life
Building, Kansas City, No., writes: In
regard to the question whether grapeshOt
was used in the civil war, 1 think it is
quite certain that it was used to some ex-
tent with heavy guns, but not with field
artillery. During the Fall and Winter Of
1863 l was Ordnance Sergeant in charge
of Forts Terrill and Which, at Munford-
vile, Ky. These forts were equipped with
30-pound PARROTS, and the ammunition
included stands of grape, as well as ordi-
nary canister. During the rest of my two
years service in the artillery we were
equipped as light artillery, using at diff
ferent times 2O-pound PARROTS, 10-pound
PARROTS, g. and 12-pound Napoleons, and
mountain howitzers. None of these pieces
used grape"
FRANKLIN.
H. D. Beard, Salina. Kan, replying to
statement of Capt. w. G. Rice, 125th
Ohio, in the issue of May 1, says:
Capt. Rice is mistaken in saying that
new regiment was placed in the works
at Franklin and was driven by the rebels.
The 10th Ohio was in reserve, when the
commanding officer, Dan Mccoy, was car
ried from the field, and Maj. Mullenix
gave the order to advance with fixed bayo-
nets. We drove the rebels back and held
the ground until reinforcements came up.
L DelOHSeu tO CO ~ Ol tudI new regiment,
which was the 10th Ohio. Seventeen
men of my company were left on the field
and in the hospital that night. l was
wounded, but did not leave the line until
we were ordered back. The 10th Ohio
has never received credit for its work at
Franklin"
WHERE MCPHERSON WAS KILLED.
W. II. Cook, II Savannah street. At
lanta, Ga, writes to correct a statement
by Comrade G. G. Reed, LIST Ohio L. A.
Mr.. Cook says: "In the issue of July 10
G. G. Reed states that Gen. Mcpherson
was killed within so yards of Peach Tree
Creek. 1 live within one mile of where
Mcpherson was killed. At its nearest
point Peach Tree Creek is three and one
shot. There is not branch of the creek
within half a mile of the Mcpherson mon
ument, on top of the fiat ridge, where the
General was killed.

CONFEDERATE SPIES AT FRANKLIN.
Bold but Unsuccessful Strategy and the Tragic Death Of the
Two Principals.
By J. r. MCBRIDE, Adjutant, 33d Ind.

Union lines, which they well knew, and,
of course, the suggestion must have Jared
their honest intentions, if they had any.
When headquarters were reached the
men were boldly accused of being spies.
They showed great indignation, and, of
course, vigorously declared that they were
innocent.
Immediately Col. Baird reported condi-
tions to Gen. Rosecrans. Gossip said, at
the time, that the wires between Franklin
and Nashville were tapped, so that in the
event the men should be suspected and
an inquiry sent to Nashville or Murfrees-
boro the message would be intercepted by
confederate and a suitable answer re-
turned; but the rumor was without
foundation, as Col. Baird used both the
wire and signal flags.
