AT ALLATOONA PASS.
Thrilling Incidents of n Battle That De-
velOped the Best Qualities Of the Man
In Blue.

Referring to "Reminiscences of the
battle of Allatoona Pass, by Serg't
ODonnell, Co. A, 7th ILL.,, published In
these columns, Fl. H. BaItzelI Co. F.
7th ILL.,, says: Il will try to give my
experience in that battle. The night
before the fight our brigade with the
18th ILL.,, l believe, were loaded on cars
latoona in the night. We arrived there
about 2 a. m. Our pickets were fired
upon just after we had disembarked
from the cars. and about daylight our
company and Co. III were sent out on
the skirmish line. John Etterain, OF
Co. H, was the first man killed in that
battle. About o'clock a. M the Cap
tain began to let us go back to the fort
two or three at time to get breakfast
While / was at the fort after my food
the rebel commander sent in q demand
for our surrender, and the skirmish
line fell back. The remainder Of the
regiment then went into the ri1epits
in front of the fort.
Il fell in with Co. A, and / was
not more than three feet from Serg't
O'Donnell when he was hit, and he just
jumped around like q chicken with it's

What Supported Gen. Nelson mt Pitts
burg Landing!

Editor National Tribune: After read
ing Comrade McElroy's highly-interest-
ing account of the battle of Shiloh,
Corinth, and so on, like good old Abe.
l am reminded Of something" and it's
no joke by a large majority, because l
was lying on brushheap but a few
feet from where it occurred.
L was one of the Buell. army boys
headed for the Tennessee River. We
jerked off our buds, fixed bayonets,
placed the buds on top Of the bayonets
and swan and waded Duck River, thus
getting ahead of another General who
stopped to build bridge But we were
under that stern, bighearted, quick
and impulsve General VIM. Nelson. We
had been unde~ him through to Pike
ton after Gen. Humphrey Marshall; fol-
lowed him until even the trails into the
mountains beyond just about gave out.
About that time in the evening Gen.
Nelson's Adjutant said: General, what
shall We name this camp" Eve always
gave the camps a name every night. }
Strengthening up his robust form,
he replied. Name it camp Hopeless
Chase"
All hands and the cook "had enough
of this in their'n," and we about-faced
and headed for the Big Sandy River.
This is the day I stole my first, last
and only negro. l was short on a cook,
and likely young darby said he could
cook, SO / told him to fall in" While
trudging along miserable thing called
road up rode a big, red-faced Ken
tuckian and said in stentarion voice
full of vinegar and gall: "Say. you've
got my niger, be CAD, sar. You stole
him." Right then and there l put on
my thinking-cap. 1t was early in the
'61's. and being verdant on these mat
ters, I was like the bound boy at the
husking. halnt nothing to say, and
a few minutes after was arrested l
and the "gem'en of color" were trotted
to the rear, and that was the last of
my freeing a negro before Abraham
Lincoln did.
When we reached the mouth Of the Big
Sandy there lay the finest steamer that
ever turned a wheel on the Ohio River
the Jacob Strader. On her hurricane
roof stood a band, playing "Ain't you
glad to get out of the Wilderness"-you
bet!
But I am depressing. I started
out to tell who supported Gen. Mel

ComFade Walter Morris Calls Down the
Commercial Bulletin, Of Buffalo, N. Y.

Commercial Bulletin, Of Buffalo, N. Y.
N. T., had one of the customary mean
editorials on Our Long-Lived Pension
ers," and which abounded In the usual
groans and complaints about the PEN
sion burden. Comrade Walter Morris,
Commander OF Gen. Alexander Hays
Post, Of Pittsburg. wrote the editor a
sharp letter, In which he gave his views
on the subject, and calling attention to
what nice boys we were In 1861-'65.
and stating what nice time we had
sleeping out in the mud, slush, snow
ana rain; gorging ourselves on pies,
pudding, turkey and ice-cream: charg-
ing occasionally for the fun Of having
our arms. legs, etc.. blown off; then in
connection with such jolly games as
malarial fever, diarrhea, etc, with some
10000 to 10000 killed in battle and
perhaps 100000 or 100000 crippled for
life In the little bouts we had with the
Johnnies. He also sent the Bulletin
what encouragement he could, by tell
ing them that from 10000 to 10000
were dying off annually. Comrade Nor
ris adds:
II tell you, some Of the American
papers are full Of patriotism. and can
not do enough for the old veterans II
Is pity we do not have to pay for the
air we breathe. and 1t really is a shame
we 40 not nave 10 pay pension to the

but / would be willing to give some
thing to erect monument to them 10
miles off Sandy Hook to save them the
expense Of living and saving for the old
veterans l would favor dropping them
over In iron cages alongside their monu-
ment, the top of which would be 100
feet or SO below the surface Of the wa
ter.
1.-The figures in the article may or may
not be correct, and personally / am
surprised myself that 1 have lived Sc
long, but I am mean enough to say that
/ am not bit sorry, and will live as
long as / can, but can assure you that
my pension of Sc a month is not all that
keeps me so fat and sassy.
There never was a time In the his
tory OF the country when patriotism
was more necessary than now and your
paper is the keynote Of that necessary
and grand virtue. l ask you to do all
that you can to neutralize such illogical
selfish, unpatriotic and ungrateful ideas
as are displayed in the Commercial Bull
letin."

MORGAN opposes Rate RIII.

Washington.-Mr Morgan, in adj
dressing the senate on the railroad
rate bill on Monday, said that he was
opposed to the bill under considera-
ton, known as the Hepburn-Dolliver
bill, because it created national COM
mission that would ultimately under
take the control of the railroads He
said that the bill repealed law that
was sacred to the English-speaking
people. the right of jury trial. and
vested in a commission the right to
determine the reasonableness Of a
rate. He said that the bill took away
from the states the right to determine
what was a reasonable rate and vested
the power of determination in a ma
tional commission.
