No Roar of Musketry.

No Roar Of Musketry.
Listening attentively to the fire of the
| skirmishers in that direction, l discov-
cred there was no continued roar of
musketry, and being aware of the quick
approach of darkness. after o'clock
at that season of the year, / became
somewhat uneasy, and again ordered
| an officer to go to Gen. Cheatham, in
| form him that his supports were very
near at hand, that he must attack at
| once, if he had not already done so,
and take and hold possession of the
| pike. Shortly afterwards l intrusted
another officer with the same message,
and. if my memory is not treacherous
| finally requested the Governor of Ten
| nessee, Isham G. Harris, to hasten for
ward and impress upon Cheatham the
Importance of action without delay. l
knew no large force of the enemy could
be at Spring Hill, as couriers reported
Schofield's main body still in front of
Lee, at Columbia up to a late hour in
the day. / thought 1t probable that
Cheatham had taken possession of
Spring Hill without encOuntering ma
terial opposition, or had formed line
across the pike, north of the town. and
intrenched without coming in serious
contact with the enemy. which would
account for the little musketry heard
in his direction. However. to ascertain
the truth. | sent an officer to ask Cheat
ham If he held the pike, and to inform
him of the arrival of Stewart whose
corps ! intended to throw on his left,
in order to assail the Federals in flank
that evening or the next morning. as
they approached and formed to attack
Cheatham. At this juncture the last
messenger returned with the report that
the road had not been taken possession
of. Gen. Stewart was then ordered to
proceed to the right of Cheatham and
place his corps across the pike north of
Spring Hill.
By this hour, however, twilight was
upon us, when Gen. Cheatham rode up
in person. | at once directed Stewart
to halt, and, turning to Cheatham.
exclaimed with deep emotion. as | felt
the golden opportunity fast slipping
from me: General why in the name
of God have you not attacked the enc
my and taken possession of that pike?"
He replied that the line looked a little
toos long for him, and that Stewart
should first form on his right. | could
hardly believe it possible that this brave
old soldier who had given proof of
such courage and ability upon so many
hard-fought fields, would ever make
such report. After leading him with
in full view of the enemy, and pointing
out to him the Federals, retreating in
great haste and confusion, along the
pike, and then giving explicit orders to
attack, / would as soon have expected
midday to turn into darkness as for
him to have disobeyed my orders. /
then asked Gen. Cheatham whether or
not Stewards Corps, II formed on the
right, would extend across the pike. He
answered in the affirmative Guides
were at once furnished to point out
Cheatham's right to Gen. Stewart, who
was ordered to form thereon, with his
right extending across the pike. Dark

Cheatham AgnIn Ordered to Attack.

1t was reported to me after this hour
that the enemy was marching along the
road, almost under the light of the
campfires of the main body of the
army. 1 sent anew to Gen. Cheatham
to know if at least line of skirmish-
ers could not be advanced, in order to
throw the Federals in confusion, to de-
lay their march, and allow us chance
to attack in the morning. Nothing was
done. The Federals, with immense
wagon trains were permitted to march

to the rear, decided to bridge the river
that night, and move at dawn the next
morning with Cheatham's Corps-whose
right was then resting near the point
selected for a crossing-together with
Stewards Corps and Johnston's Divi-
sion of Lees Corps and to leave Lieut.
Gen. Lee with Stevenson's and Clayton's
Divisions and the bulk of the artillery.
to demonstrate heavily against Scho-
field and follow him if he retired.
Since l had attempted this same
movement on the 22d of July. and had
been unable to secure its success, l re-
solved to go in person at the head of
the advance brigade, and lead the army
to Spring Hill.

army in motion. I hoped by a rapid
march to get in rear of Schofield's
forces, then at Pulaski. before they
were able to reach Duck River. That
night headquarters were established at
Rawhide, II miles north of Florence,
On the WayneSboro road.
The march was resumed on the 22d
and continued till the 27th, upon which
date the troops, having taken advan-
tage of every available road, reached
Columbia via Mount Pleasant. Forrest
operated in our front against the enc
my's cavalry which he easily drove
from one position to another.
The Federals at Pulaski became
alarmed, and by forced marches day
and night reached Columbia, upon
Duck River, just in time to prevent our
troops from cutting them off. Van
Horne in his History of the Army Of
the Cumberland, thus mentions their
narrow escape:

Within about one-half hour from the
time Cheatham left me skirmishing be-

LAW LIBRARY SOLD.
Books bought by Local AttOrneys-A
Few Outsiders.

The Burlington Law Library is no
longer in existence; that is. che books
are no longer owned by the organiza-
ton, although the organization has not
yet been dissolved. The books were
sold Monday at auction by Elihu i.
Taft and We're purchased by a number
of parties. including many local law
yers and some concerns from outside
the State. The amour which the books
brought has not yet beer figured but
it is estimated to be between $500 and
500.
The proposition submitted to the
Chittenden County Bar association to
buy the library did not materialize and
although the books will for the most
part remain in Burlington they will be
in individual libraries. i. +. Wilbur of
Jericho and c. S. Palmer of this city
bought more books than any other in
dividuals.
Included in the sale were n number
of old legal documents executed during
the reign of George tho Third. These
included wills, indentures, etc, and
brought good prices because of their
rarity

SPRING IN JANUARY.
Almost Unprecedented Weather COndi
tiOns In BURLINGTON Monday.

The unusual spectacle of open cars
crowded with people clad in many in
stances in spring clothing and often
without any outer wraps was witnessed
in this city Monday afternoon Open
cars were run over the Pine street and
North avenue line and those who rode
on them did not suffer the slightest dis
comfort from the cold for, as matter
of fact. there was no cold. The sun was
shining brightly and the breeze which
was felt most on that section of the line
between the intervale and the lake was
mild and warm. One car containing a
group of men in straw hats was photo

past few days had tended tn revive tho

general aspect was that of early spring
