crs of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
Gen. Corse at once informed his COM
handing officers of the object OF the bag
of truce and his reply thereto.
His account of the fierce struggle that
ensued and continued for more than seven
hours is given below:
PREPARATIONS FOR DEFENSE.
81 directed Col. Rowctt TO hold the spur
on which the 39th Iowa and 18th III. were
formed. sent Col. Tourtellottc over to the
east hill with orders to hold it to the last,
sending to Inc for reiniorccmcnts if needed.
Taking two companies of the 9th III. down
a spur parallel with the railroad and along
the brink of the cut, 50 disposed them as
Ia hold the north side as long as possible.
Three companies of the 93d. which had
been driven in from the west end of the

under Maj. Fisher, lay between the re-
doubt and Rowett's line, ready to rein
force wherever most needed.
THE STORM BREAKS.
II had hardly issued these incipient or
dcrs when the storm broke in all its fury
on the 59ti Iowa and It'll III. Young $
Brigade of Texans, 1900 strong, had
gained the west end of the ridge and
moved with great impetuosity along its
crest till they struck Rowett's command,

SIGNAL MESSAGES.
During the progress of the battle, from
8 n. III. until 1870 the Signal Officers on
Kcnesaw Mountain called Allato0na with
out Il response. At last the words came:
1--WE hold out; Gen. Corse here
Later cane tie message:
"AlIatoona, Ga, Oct. ), 1861.
"Gen. Sherman:
'.Corse is here.
"Tourtellotte, Lieutenant Colonel Com
manding."
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1903-01-29

At 4:1J p. m. these words were sent:
1--WE still hold out. Corse is wounded.
adams, Signal Officer"
And still another came:
eve are all right so far. Gen. Corse
is wounded. Where is Gen. Sherman?
adams, Signal Officer"
The answer to the question was:
"Near you"
Then this message was sent:
'Kenesaw Mountain, October ), 1864.
"Tell AlIatoona hold on. Gen. Sher-
man says he is working hard for you"
While the battle was raging l rode
down to point near the scene, accom-
panied by Gen. McCook, Capt. Zickerick
of the 18th Wis. Battery, two or three of
the staff and half q dozen orderlies. We
were shielded from view by heavy skirt
of timber. l was expecting another train
load of troops from Rome, but because of
an accident to the train they did not ar
rive in time to participate in the fight.
One of Gen. French's staff officers VEN
tured to the rear on foot, came in sight,
and was required to surrender.
This was a hard-fought battle. We
had less than 2.0OO men engaged. Our
loss in killed, wounded and prisoners was
106. Six officers and men were killed; %
officers and $50 enlisted men were wound
ed: six officers and 206 enlisted men were
captured. The loss of the enemy was
much more severe. We buried 231 of
their dead and captured All prisoners,
amongst them Brighten. VIM. II. Young.
Returning to Gainesville. went down
to AllatoOna at night on train with the
balance of Col. Rowett's Brigade. The
wounded had been cared for, but the dead
were seen at every turn. l found Corse,
Tourtellotte and Rowett wounded, the
latter severely, portion of the skull hav-
ing been carried away by a musket-ball.
l was present when Lieut.. Amsden, who
commanded the artillery, had his leg am
putated.
We had gained splendid victory. but
it was moving sight to witness SO much
tersville on the train and at once sent the
following dispatch to Chattanooga:
''Cartersville, Oct. 5, 1864.
"Gen. John E. Smith:
1--WE have won n great victory at Ala
toona today. l am just from there. Gen.
COrse slightly wounded in cheek; Col.
Tourtellotte slightly wounded in left thigh;
Maj. Fisher also wounded; our loss about
100 killed and 200 wounded. The enemy
suffered very severely, and have retreated
towards Dallas. The rebel Surgeons have
surrendered their hospital. Lieut.. Ans
den loses a leg, broken below knee. Gen.
Sherman has been fighting today.
&c. B. RAUM,' Brevet Brigadier-Gen-
cral."
While the battle Of Allatoona was at
its hight Gen. Sherman was straining
every nerve to, throw a strong force in
between Allatoona and Dallas. so as to
cut off the column making the attack. The
Confederate records show that it was an
apprehension of this movement that
caused Gen. French to withdraw from be-
fore Allatoona, but the fact remains that
after IA hours skirmish and battle he
was repulsed at every point with heavy
loss.
