probably some of your many readers
would like to hear from an old do
who wore the gray in those unhanpy
days of the past. Among the many sub.
jects that have been and will continue IN
be discussed, is the negro 1t is a sub-
jtct that is many-sided. We of the S0ufb
have had and still continue to have. n
vast experience, unknown to the majority
Of the Northern States; but that is neitI-
er here nor there. l want to tell YOU of
an incident which occurred during the
war. Our Captain brought a negro from
home, as cook, q pure, unadulterated
African, whose name was Tom, and, /
must say to his credit, a good, faithful
servant, and as honest as the majority of
his race of that day.
When the boys were about to go into bat
tie, we would entrust to his care our
money, watches and letters for safety.
Upon this particular occasion we were 60
ing into Maryland with "O.d Jack" (bet-
as usual we called Tom, handing over
our valnables for safekeeping. On our
return Tom failed to make his appear

days passed, ard the final conclusion
was that Tom had deserted us and had
gone over to the Yankees. When. one
day to our great surprise, up came Tom.
In our joy the first question was, "Tom.

rade in recent issue of The National

Division, Twenty-third Corps. The regi.
u.snt was composed q seven companies,
commanded by Lisutenan. Colonel. I'm
the absence of the Lieutenant Colonel,
there were Captains always ready and
willing to take command; therefore, Lieut..
h. NJ. Long rever could have been in CON-
mand. Lieut.-Col. J. Albert Smith was
the first commander. he resig:ling at Cum

officer Of the Regular Army, was then as

with the regiment until it was mustered

dat: they's all right" This was all the
satisfaction We could gather. so we all
concluded Tom had gambled them of,
or sold them while in Maryland. In the
course of few days Tom was missing
again. and We were now convinced he had
gone to the Yankees. But in the course OF
time, to our great surprise, up came Tom,
all smiles, saying: Here. boys. GENE
and get those ar things" and all the miss
ing articles were produced. Tom now told
us the full particulars of his trials. He
was about to be captured, and he hid the
things So you see there is some COM
mendable traits in the character of the
negro. Although not educated in book
learning, he had not forgotten home train
ing. 1 am speaking of the negro of the
past mot of the present day.. l am proud
to say there is not case on record where
a negro ever betrayed the trust placed
upon him. At home with our mothers,
sisters, and wives alone, often not white
male person within miles of him, he guard
ed and protected our women of the South.
Furthermore, there is not n case on
record where n negro ever held any re-
sentiment to his former master during
the war Yes, the old slaves are cher
ished and protected by us, but l am
afraid the rising generation will not un-
derstand them as we have in the past

rectly, under command of a Lieutenant of
an Ohio regiment.
The next day after leaving Bridgeport,
while in the Sequatchie Valley, the guard
was attacked by 1,50O of Wheeler's cav
airy, who captured the wagons and burnt
them. 1t appeared that when the wagon
train left Bridgeport battalion of Regu-
lars accompanied it as far as the courier
line across Walden Ridge, where they
took the short. road TO Chattanooga.
The writer was captured when
Wheeler's cavalry charged on the guard
but managed to get away from the enemy,
remaining in the valley the night after
the capture of the wagons, there being
20 or SO wagons loaded with ordnance,
which, during the excitement OF the
drivers, was pulled in among the other
wagons containing rations and clothing,
making it impossible to save any of the
wagons after the reinforcements came I'D
from Bridgeport, as every few moments
shells would explode, scattering everything
far and near.
The enemy finding that our cavalry was
coming, after cutting loose the mules
from the wagons, did not attempt to get
them away, but shot them where they
had them cOrralled, and the next morn
ing l saw acres of dead mules. / have
been at loss to know who made the
blunder in starting out so valuable a
