A CIVIL WAR FEAT.
How General HicISenIOoper Bridged
the Tennessee River.

How General HicIzenIOOper Bridged
the Tennessee River.
One Of General Andrew HickenloOp
er's experiences in the civil war as
told by himself, is thus related in the
Boston Transcript:
zone evening with Mcpherson on
the Tennessee river 1 shaJ! never for
get There was no enemy in sight
and none expected. About an hour be-
fore shutdown I was suddenly sum
moned to the generals tent and in
formed that our whole army Of $4,000
men must be across the river and start
ed after the Confederates by daylight
the next morning
But general I protested, there
isn't within forty miles a stick of tim
Der big enough to carry an empty
caisson, and the wagons with the
ponies are 5en miles back.
II can't help that said 1IcPherson.
The bridge must he built and tle army
on the move before 4 O'Clock. Good
night Colonel Hickenloorer"
"In my despair I went down to the
riverside and paced the bank for an
hour, trying to think out q key to the
problem. AS chief Of the engineer corps
l knew what was expected of me and
that if failed my career, both in mill
t0ry and in civil life, was st an end.
Wandering back about a half mile,
came upon an old gin filed with cot
ton. 1 suppose it must have held Two
or three thousand bales. Here was my
salvation. Why not build q bridge of
the cotton and use the old boards as a
roadway
Inside Of a half hour I had a large
detail of men on the ground. We sank
the bales with large stones, laying two
tiers of four bales each clear across
the river and holding them in place
by two big cables stretched across on
the lower side. The boards Of the gin
made a tolerable roadway, but at the
best it was an awfullv scaly job.
AT 3 o'clock 1 walked Up to Nc
Pherson's tent and routed him out Of
bed. General, the bridge is ready
said
Every well, colonel, was the
response, and I had not walked three
rods before boots and saddles sound
ed and the camp became a bedlaIu.
Il crossed the bridge and stood at
the edge Of the water. expecting and
dreading to see the cables part under
the terrific strain. but they stood q
