After the battle some Yankee officers
appeared IL our front with flag Of
truce. They were met by Captain
Mcbride and one or two other off icers.
to whom they presented request
from General Burnsides to be allowed
to care for some wounded men who
had fallen between the lines. The re-
quest was granted and the wants of
the wounded were attended to. We
returned to camp and busted our
selves during the remainder Of the
day In an attempt to thaw out from
our bodies some of the chilliness that
frozen beds had inflicted. On the fol-
lowing morning we left Knoxville aud
went still further up the valley in the
direction of The Virginia line. We
were subjected to another severe
chilling that morning. When we got
to the Clinch river we were required
to plunge in and wade across where
The water for considerable distance
was up to our waists and the weather
was still freezing cold. 1t looked to
US like the authorities were deter
mined that we should keep cool in one
sense at least. We had skirmishing
almost constantly with Yankee cavalry
on the way, but it was generally at
long range and little damage was done,
We finally stopped at Russellvillc and
went into temporary winter quarters.
Some OF our experiences at that place
will probably be the subject of another
chapter.

will state that the poor fellow was
struck by five bullets in the head and
neck. lie was not only fired on from
the pit opposite, but from those to
right and left. Had lie got out Of the
pit he would have been struck by
twenty balls before he could make q
step
One could never tell whether CAP
was on Il soldiers head or stick
-Four times out Of five it was hoisted
on stick, but we were ready to take
the one chance in five Of hitting a
head. Old caps were gathered up by
the bushcl for use in the pits. After
being "plunkcd about five times
there was only handful Of rags and
batting left. The stick on which it
was boistcd would be nit about once
out of five shots. l once held sill
vcr threc-ccnt piece aloft on cleft
stick when in a pit sixty feet from the
nearest OF the enemy. At the second
shot, which was doubtless from q
hunters rife, the top Of the stick and
coin were carried away. On another
occasion | tied a blouse button to q
string and held it up. 1t was a now
button and the sun was shining
brightly, and itdrew the fire of a dozen
men. Some twenty shots were fired
before the button was hit. Then the
bullet which struck it cut it in two,
and one of the halves was DETECTED into
the pit and gave my comrade severe
wound on the chin.
Before Lees lines we're broken no
man went into the riAe-pits without
bidding his friends goodbye. It was
considered that the chances Of his Being
killed were five to thrac. Hundreds
and hundreds of men were killed in
going to and returning from the pits,
and out of eight men who might occupy
apitin rotation for twenty four hours
the loss would sometimes be as high
as six and seldom less than two. lido
not mean that all we're killed, but a
wounded man was little better than
dead one for thirty days after boing
hit. l am sure the Confederates suf-
fcred as severely as we did On the az
crage, though they did the fness
shooting. Some Of them had fine
hunting rifles, and the end of a finger
held above cover was a target they
could not miss. I believe that from
5000 TO 10000 men were killed in the
rite-pits on our side alone while
Grant was hammering away. aud
these figures were equalled oa the
other side. In no single instance
could | make out tho slightest benefit
from this loss of life, and do
not believe it prolonged or shortened
the war by an hour. It was useless
and cold-blooded slaughter, and to
most soldiers was the darkest pic
ture of the whole war.

The 10th Georgia at Knoxville.

After tho battle of Chickamauga
tho Tenth Georgia regiment occupied
the trenches in Chattanooga for few
weeks, exposed alternately to cold
rains from the clouds and hot Smelling
from the Yankee batteries, which rem
dered our stay very uncomfortable.
and some of US, who had lost our
blankets on the way from Virginia,
suffered severely for want of bedding.
From there we took passage on freight
cars to east Tennessee, and after short
stops at Loudon, Sweetwater and some
other places. we finally confronted
Burnside's army at Knoxville. We
remained there two or three weeks and
had some exciting encounters with the
Yankees.
We had one little tilt with them in
which both parties of combatants were
routed and all fed frantically from
each other in opposite directions. One
afternoon detachmant from our reg
ment crossed the river below town on
ferry boat to reconnoitre the hills
opposite the town. The expedition
was commanded by Captain A. J. Nc
Bride, of our company, who was af-
terwards promoted to colonel. Our
company, in command of Lieutenant
Fuller, started up very tall, steep
hill or mountain that overlooked the
town, and, on account of the uneven
ness of the ground and the density of
the woods through which we had to
pass, we marched up in single file, i.
e., we were strung out in q single line
one behind another and all following
in the trail of the file leader, who was
in front. When we got within 200
yards of tho top we were saluted by
some unseen parties on The hill above
US with volley Of mimic balls that
whistled so fearfully close to our ears
as they passed down the hill parallel
with tbs, line Of our heads rs 60 leave
