been discovered to have been the cause
of Judge ]. S. Turner's serious illness.
Judge Turner, who is chairman of the
Prison Commission, and one of the

GREATEST DRESS PARADE.
"Reminiscences Of an Ex-Confederate
Who Was in the Fight at
Missionary Ridge.

1.-THE greatest dress parade under fire
that ever saw" said the old ex-confed-
crate, twas when the Army of the Cum
berland formed to move forward against
Missionary Ridge. Some of us who were
watching that day saw the finest military
display of our lives. Perched on the
heights of Missionary Ridge, we looked
down into a great amphitheater into
which marched as If for parade and re-
view nearly a hundred regiments. We
could not measure the strength of the
divisions, but we counted the flags and
we knew that in the mass there were at
least IS regimental organizations. My
count was SO, but the boys insisted that
I saw double.
1--WE had no uneasiness at first and we
laughed at the idea of an army which we
believed was at our mercy holding a
grand review. We were interested all
the same, and when the line so perfect
ly formed swept forward on our out
posts, carrying everything before 1t, we
were startled out of our boots. I verify
believe that the orderly parade Of the
Army of the Cumberland, within the
range Of our sharpshooters, and the Wis
ible testimony Of IS regimental flags car
ried toward US at double-Quick, did
more to demoralize Bragg's army than
any other incident Of the campaign.
When that same line swept up Mission
airy Ridge. Bragg's veterans scampered
away, having in their minds visions Of
the precision and discipline which we
had witnessed day or two before"

Of daring. OF one of the latter Rhoda
Rees, a fullblood Cherokee, was the hero.
Rees came Of a family Of fighters. His
father was q soldier under Gen. Jackson,
and fought with him at the battle Of
Horseshoe Bend, where the power OF the
Creeks was broken, and an uncle Of the
famous Stan Waite, the leader Of the

more than any other band. He tells the
