The men of the Army of the Cum
berland showed the same magnificent
fortitude in enduring the hardships OF
the siege. as they had displayed valor
In repeHing the fierce attacks of their
enemies. AS far as spirit and deter
mination could go they held themselves
up to the highest standard, tho their
poor bodies grew weaker daily as the
rations were diminished. The persistent
Autumnal rains of the mountain re-
gions steadily made the roads worse
and worse, and the starving mules
could haul less and less over that fear
ful so miles of crag, gorge, quagmire
and swollen stream between Bridgeport
and Chattanooga. The leaden skies
filled the deep trenches in front of the
works with water, soaked down the
strong banks which the men had thrown
UP with infinite labor, and made the
Tennessee a roaring cataract behind
them, sweeping away the pontoon
bridges they built across it. threatening
to cut them off absolutely from their
world. II beat upon them pitilessly as
they walked their sentinel beats within
speaking distance of the pickets of their
boastful and confident enemies. There
was no faltering in their manner, tho;
no abatement of their high, soIdierly
tone; and when the enemys pickets
gibed at their starvation and exulted
over the nearness of their surrender
they sent back speech of naughty de-
fance and general contempt for
everything that wore butternut and fol-
lowed the baleful stars and bars.
The animals showed the most suf-
fering. The mules died off by thou
sands, and the artillery horses grew so
weak that presently there was not a
single battery in the whole army fit for
the most ordinary field service.
Sheridan's Good Luck.
As was generally the case, Gen. Sher-
idan's foresight and constant thought
fulness took him and his division thru
this crisis in better shape than his fell
1ow-commanders. He tells how this
was in his "Memoirs':
Luckily for my division, company
of the I'd KY. Cav. had attached itself
to my headquarters, and, tho there
without authority, had been left undis-
turbed in view of a coming reorganiza-
tion of the army incidental to the re-
moval of McCook and Crittenden from

me afterwards that he caught cold

expected to recover. He never did.
"A day was spent in Louisville. the
Secretary giving me the military news
at the Capital and talking about the
disappointments at the results of some
of the campaigns. BY the evening OF
the day after our arrival all matters of
discussion seemed exhausted, and left
the hotel to spend the evening away,
both Mrs. Grant (who was with me)
and myself having relatives living in
Louisville. In the course of the even
ing Mr.. Stanton received a dispatch
from Mr.. c. A. Dana, then in Chatta-

vented Rosecrans would retreat. and
advising peremptory orders against his

"On the receipt of Mr.. Dana's dis

apparently partaking of his impatience

the Secretary. and found him pacing
the floor rapidly in his dressing gown.
Saying that the retreat must be pre-

Immediately wrote an order assuming

all hazards, informing him at the same
time that I would be at the front as
soon as possible. A prompt reply was
received from Thomas, saying: We will
hold the town till we starve.' I appre-
ciated the force of this dispatch later
when I witnessed the condition of af-
fairs which prompted it. 1t looked, in
deed, as if but two courses were open

east bank of that island confronting the
rebel picket line, which was on the op-

possession of Sand and Raccoon Noun

claim upon Gen. Grant as to draw forth
his warm recommendation of Smiths

SO careful and correct in bestowing his
praises that this had great weight with
all. Undoubtedly Rosecrans, who had
shown such wonderfully quick percep-

sibilities of the country between Chat

the Presbyterian church Oct, 9th, subject,
Sabbath Observance, was in charge of
Mrs. Myrta NJ. Huling, supertendent of
that department. Mrs. Huling read a
carefully prepared and very interesting
paper, subject, "Remember the Sabbath

The subject for Oct 20, was Railroad

Mrs. Mays was particularly inspiring,
and many good points were brought out.
