THOUGHT THAT ENDED 1T.

War Wasn't Over, and Fearful Fight

Editor National Tribune: Well boys
If you will give me space in your val
ued paper l will try and drum up some
of the boys Of McAllister's Battery, ILL
i'm print Of what they did or did not do.
Well, boys, If you Will look back Al
years you Will see us ut Fort Holt.
Everything then indicated that some
thing was probable; we didn't know
what, of course. The rebels were ban
tering us with their gunboats, coming
up the river and throwing things at us.
They seemed to have more 64-pOund
cannon-bals than they needed. SO they
threw Il few of those at us. One, / re-
member, struck the water not more
than 20 feet from where l was stand
ing watching their movements. Then
the cannOneers were rushed into the
little fort to give them few shots; and
], being No. /, took the swab stick,
swabbed the gun and rammed into the
2f-poundcr~-the largest old siege gun
In our fOrt-a sack Of powder and
24-pound solid shot, and stepped down
inside the works and the gun was
fired-then, oh. what a report! and the
jolt ii gave US! j will ever remember
that We were soon on top Of the
parapet to see how many boats we had
sunk by our first shot at the enemy.
We saw the water spraying where the
ball landed, not more than Is or 20
feet to the right of the first boat. But
that was enough for the rebels; they
wheeled about and disappeared around
the bend in the river. How glad was;
they seemed to be a very careless lot
of fellows, and they came very near
hitting US the first shot they made
When they left / felt that we had
whipped them and that the war was
then about over; but that wasn't salt
for the mush that was boiling for us!
Soon after that we broke camp, and
the next thing we knew we were on
boats and headed up the Ohio River,
| and soon arrived at Paducah, KY,
whence we were sent up the Tennessee
River, not knowing where we were 60
ing. In time we heard the gunboats at
Fort Henry; then my hair began to
| lift my cap. ! kept pulling my cap
down till ! had the peak all out OF
shape. Thankfully we received the
sweet and welcome news that the reb-
| els had skedaddled.
We landed at the fort and saw where
our gunbOats had landed solid ball in
the muzzle of the rebels largest gun
and knocked it to flinders
That was where l saw war for sure!
| Saw brains. hair. parts of arms, feet,
| legs--oh. what a sight! But it was
nothing TO what was coming We soon
were with Grant at Fort Donelson.
where our guns were captured, and
several of our battery boys were killed.
How cold that snow was the night of
Feb. Is. l do not doubt that many OF
| those wounded were chilled to death
that night. l was over the battlefield

and the rebel dead; some were wrapped
In their blankets, lying down, while
others were In a sitting posture. where
they had fixed themselves and perhaps
went to sleep, but never to wake again.
