EDITOR NATIONAL TRIRUNE: You give
Mr.. Swinton too much credit for accuracy.

says:
The direction of Sheridan's advance
brought his attack upon Early's isolated
right. which. but for a vexatious delay,
might have been crushed while the main

that when this attack was made "Early's
right was no longer isolated. for the at
tack was not made till after II m. and
his forces from Bunker Hill had arrived
and taken their places in the line long be-
fore.
Again. he says that Early ran 80 miles
Creek. and about two and a half miles from
there to Strasburg. and one mile to Fishers
Hill, making. all told. Ola miles.
Further. he says: Sheridan arrived on
the morning of the Odd and formed his
force for direct attack. while he sent Tor
bert with two divisions of cavalry up Luz
ray Valley to gain New Market, 70 miles
tn the rear of Early"
Sheridan arrived with his army on the
evening of the both, the next day after the
battle Of Opequan. On the Dist he sent
The cavalry up Luray Valley to cut off
Earlys retreat.
Further along: "An attack was made by
the cavalry on the right, and under cover
of this mask corps of infantry was moved
on that flank and by an impetuous attack
carried the Confederate left. A general
attack i'm front disrupted Early's whole line,
and the Confederates retired in great dis

made several attacks to divert his attention

then the advance began all along Sheridan's

FIRST REBEL KILLED IN KENTUCKY.
A Rebel Emissary Shot Down By the Union
Home Guards Of Ohio County.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In the Ma
tional Tribune of May 10 you published my
account of the first Union soldier who fell
in Kentucky during the war. l will now
give an account Of the first to fall in
Kentucky during that war on the side of
treason and rebellion, by duly appointed
military authority. Perhaps it may be bet
ter understood by few remarks on the
condition of affairs in that part of Ken
lucky at that time In the Summer and
early Fall of 1861 the war excitement was
so great that the loyal men formed them
selves into what were then called Union
Clubs, which were soon absorbed into COM
panies of local Home Guards and vOlun-
teers to the nearest Federal camps. Frank
lin Mitchell, who lived near Fordsville, in
Ohio County, was at the head of the Union
Club organization near him, and after the
young men of his club had enlisted in the
volunteer service he organized a company
of Home Guards of the old farmers left

teacher and an Old-time lawyer of some
note. He was native of old Virginia,

but his unquestionable fidelity to the Fed
eral cause had gained for him the highest
esteem of all the Union officials that knew
or had heard of him. Capt. Mitchells
company was known as the Adams Fork
Home Guards, and this was the name the
United States officers called them when on
duty with their forces. This name was
given them after the little stream that runs
near F0rdsville. Most of the men lived on
and near it. Capt. Mitchell placed himself

cruiting camp at Hartford, the Countyseat
OF Ohio County. Mitchell aided Col. Nc

men were reviewed by Col McHenry, drew
rations from his Compulsory, and attended
