THE SPY RICHARDSON.
Hanged by Order OF Gen. Buford.

Editor National Tribune: On read
ing a communication in your issue of
the 9Th inst. signed II. M. Greggs, West
port Me-, giving Father Locke's version
Of the execution Of Richardson, the
spy, I think it not out Of place to state
through your valued columns what we
of the 10th Pa. knew Of Richardson.
1t is easy for persons to surmise or
build theories about things. It may be
the same in Father Locke's case, Of
whom I never heard until I saw the
account in The National Tribune.
The 10th Pa. belonged to Gen. Land
er's Division in western Virginia from
June 1, 1862, until he died. Col. Ma
than Kimball, Of the First Brigade, took
command until the division arrived at
Martinsburg, March Is. Gen. Jas.
Shields had been assigned on the 10th,
but did not take command until we ar
rived at that point. Banks's troops. or
Wtlliams's Division. had entered Win
chester the day we reached Martins
burg. Our brigade had not received
rations for such a march as we had
been on, and rebelled against going on
to Winchester that night without pro-
visions, when they were stored In Mar
tinsburg and could be had, as our
march from Buck Creek over the rail-
road ties had been very hard. Finally,
Tyler, our brigade commander, ordered
us into bivouac at the big spring out
waiting for provisions that evening
there came among us Maine Chap
lain, who claimed to belong to Banks
troops at the front. He sympathized
with us very much, singing to us many
songs, and impressed his personality on
us SO that he was not easily forgotten;

IN FRONT OF ATLANTA.
An Ohio Soldier Tells How Hood Made
His Flank Move While Sherman's Army
Slept.

Editor National Tribune: Having
been on the picket line on the night Of
July q, in front OF Atlanta, Ga, Cap
tain came to me and asked how many
men had on post. replied, 1.-The usual
number" He requested me to take two
OF my men and accompany him, he
having taken the same number of men
from another post. ] asked him what
he intended to do He said he intended
TO capture a rebel picket post. We then
crept toward the Johnnfes, and they
ran away.
We stayed there all night and forth
fled the post. Then some reserve pick
cts were moved forward to keep up a
scattering fire to the right of large
tree.
We could hear the enemy moving to
| our left in large numbers, and the Cap
tain said, Hold this post, Sergeant"
AS the Captain was about to leave /
asked him, as l already had twice be-
| fore, IL 1t would not be right for him
| to send Gen. Sherman word about the
| movement of the rebels. He assured
me that Gen. Sherman knew his own
| business.
| So it proved that Hood moved around
our flank, and l obeyed the orders of a
superior officer while our General and
our men slept on unconsciously Every
| time l think of that bloody occasion
and the many good men that were killed
there I censure myself for not disobey-
| ing orders and sending word on my own
! responsibility to Gen. Sherman.
Some of my comrades who were with
me may read these lines, but / have no
fear Of contradiction. That night our
entire picket line moved forward, and
the following morning by raising our
gunsights we fired into the suburbs Of
Atlanta. But, gee whiz. How We went
back after awhile with a brigade after
our skirmish line. Some of us went
pell-me into the works where the Iowa
r oops were. We managed to pull some
Is of the pursuers over after US. We
asked where the 6Sth Ohio was. Point
ing to another part Of the line, one OF
them said: cover yonder. fighting like
h" We fell in with them later, and
helped to hold the line, the rebs on one
| side and the Yanks on the other, and
/ don't believe there was ever more
stubborn fighting in the world than
took place there on Bald Hill. Had
/ Gen. Sherman known OF Hoods move
as he should have that night, / believe
the same division that fought Sd nobly
on Bald Hill could have stormed the
works and taken Atlanta early in the
mo-ning.-John Harker, Sergeant, Co

this was SO we were moved over the
run, up the hill to the west and soon
found that some Of the enemy was left.
The movement of our line called forth
siles passed close over our heads. So
wicked did they sound that Will Allies,
a brand-new recruit, wanted to know IT
they were bombshells.
1--WE soon fell back across the run
and took the plank road for the Chan
cellor House. We were the rear guard

best of the blankets that lay thick in

Of the woods ID carry them to the

so that comfortable beds could be
made for the wounded. I know I do
not exaggerate when I say I saw TO-
600 blankets that had been thrown
away from May to 10.
1--WE had not gone mile when we
met strange object, a man whose only
clothing was g. ragged pair of pants
and an equally ragged gray shirt. He
was staring straight before him and
paid no attention whatever to us, all
the while muttering to himself. His
face was ashy gray, and he appeared
as some fever-stricken sufferer, for in
deed such we took him to be. Capt.
U1rey stopped this human apparition
and questioned him. but he could learn
nothing from him. In fact, the man
did not seem to understand what was
said to him. The Captain whirled him
around two or three times and at last
gave him in charge Of CorpI Tom
Stoker. For q few minutes the strange
man kept with us, then Tom saw some
nice blankets a short distance away
III the woods and went after them.
When he returned his man had disap-
peared as utterly as If the earth had
opened and swallowed him in. We did
not make q very thorough search for
him, and were not then suspicious Of
the stranger. But have not the least
doubt he was one Of the smartest of
Lees spies, and that from his lips less
than an hour later, Lee received his
first positive information as to
Grants movements. What think you.

The next morning we started early

miles in advance, we started about
noon. Near Winchester our Maine
to Washington and was on his way
back to join his regiment, then with
Banks, and near our own destination,
as we thought. He marched with and
camped with us, singing to us nearly all
our patriotic songs. as well as many
others, as we sat around our bivouac
fires cooking or while resting. One song
he said he had composed himself espe-
cially for our division, on account Of
our great victory over Jackson, which
delighted us greatly, also tickling our
vanity, as at that time we thought we
were about the only troops, on account
of having fought a great battle and
having won the first and only victory
that amounted to anything in the East
ern Army 80 far. can only recall one
stanza out of many verses of the song
at this late date:
when Jackson came to Winchester
He thought to find us mapping;
But when he met our gallant Shields
His brain soon got to swimming.
He cursed the day, he cursed his luck,
And damned the secesh women"
Refrain:
Brave Shields was then our man,
Brave Shields was then our man;
With Northern grit and Irish wit.
Brave Shields was then our man..
He sold some copies Of this and others
to the boys, remaining with us until
the evening Of the 9Th Of May, 1862,
when we joined the brigade.
During the march Of three days and
a half we became very chummy. He
assured US he had sympathized with us
greatly while at Martinsburg in our de-
mand for rations. He also felt 1t his
duty not only to impart religious in
struction to the troops but to add COM
fort and pleasure wherever and when
ever he could. We took to him won
derfully, imparting to him all the in
formation we had and what we could
borrow from our fertile imaginations;
to which he took very kindly.
He disappeared the evening Of the
9th when we went into bivouac. We
