TWENTY YEARS AGO.

our 1flenU OF the Lexington
Leader, on Saturday, published
Col. Theodore O'Hara's noted
poem. which he dedicated TO Gen.
Thos. l.. Crittenden, of this city,
and says it was anonymous and
changes the time from twenty"
years to "fOIty.' We give that
splendi poem as it was written by
Col. O'Hara:
I've wandered to the village, Tom,
I've sat beneath the tree,
Upon the school house play ground,
That sheltered you and me;
But none were left to greet me,
Tom,
And few were left to know
who played with me upon the green,
Just twenty years ago.
The grass was just as green, Tom,
Barefooted boys at play
We're sporting. Just as we did then,
With spirits just as gay,
But the master sleeps upon the hill,
Which, coated DER with snow,
Afforded US sliding place
Some twenty years ago.
The old school house is altered
some
The benches are replaced
BY new ones very like the same
Our jack knives had defaced.
But the same old bricks are in the
wall.
Tie bell swings to and fro:
It's music's just the same, dear
Tom.
Twas twenty years ago.
The spring that dubbed meath the
hill.
Close by the spreading beech,
Is very low; twas once so high,
That we could almost reach;
And kneeling down to take a drink,
Dear Tom, I started so,
To think how very much I've
changed.
Since twenty years ago.
Near by that spring, upon an elm,
: You know / cut your name,
Your sweetheart's just beneath it,
Tom.
And you did mine the same.
Some heartless wretch has peeled
the bark:
Twas dying sure, bat slow,
Just rs that one whose name you
cut
Died twenty years ago.
My lids have long been dry, Tom,
But tears came in my eyes;
| thought Of her I loved so well,
Those early broken ties.
/ visited the old churchyard,
And took some flowers to strew
Upon the graves of those we loved,
Just twenty years ago.
Some are in the churchyard laid.
Some sleep beneath the sea;
And none are left of our old class
Excepting you and me.
And when our time shall come,
Tom,
And we are called to go.
hope Wen meet with those we
loved
Some twenty years ago.

tillery, which prevented our men from
raising their heads above the breast
works, made sudden and gallant
charge up to and over our intrench-
ments. Our line. thus pierced, gave
way; soon thereafter it broke at all
only time a Confederate army abandon
the field in confusion.
Maj-Gen. Bates, in his official report,
refers to ar angle having been formed
upon the mound where the line first
gave way. If such be the case, the Off
GERS in command of the troops at that
point were doubtless at fault, as Col.
Freshman. Chief Engineer, and his as
sistants had ste;.ed off the line with
great care, and ! am confident were
not guilty of this grave neglect. I was
seated upon my horse not far In rear
when the breach was effected, and soon
discovered that all hope to rally the
troops was vain.
I did not, 1 might say, anticipate a
break at that time, as our forces up to
that moment had repulsed the Federals
at every point, and were waving their
colors in defiance, crying out to the
enemy, Come on; come on" Just pre-
vious to this fatal occurrence l had ma
tured the movement for the next morn
ing. The enemy's right flank by this
hour stood in air some six miles from
Nashville, and I had determined to
withdraw my entire force during the
night and attack this exposed flank in
rear. / could safely have done SO, as
still had open a line of retreat.
The day before the rout the artillery
posted in the detached works had been
captured; number of guns in the
| main line were abandoned at the time
of the disaster, for the reason that the
horses could not be brought forward in
The National tribune., 1906-08-02

and telegraphed to Gen. Beauregard
that Gen. Steele, with Is. 900 troops, had
passed Memphis in the direction of
Cairo; also, that Rousseau had made
sally and driven back our forces at
Murfreesboro. The following day Gen.
Forrest was instructed to leave the roads
open to Lebanon, in the hope of entic-
ing Rousseau out of his stronghold;
preparations were at the same time
made to capture his detachment of
5000, should he venture to reinforce
Thomas at Nashville. He remained,
however, behind his intrenchments.
Gen. Bates's Division was ordered to
return to the army; Forrest was in
structed to direct Palmer's and Mercer's
infantry brigades to thoroughly intrench
on Stewards Creek or at Lavergne, ac-
cording as he might deem more judi
cious; to constitute with these troops
and his cavalry force in observation of
the enemy at Murfreesboro, and, lastly,
to send a brigade of cavalry to picket
the river at Lebanon.
The Federals having been reported to
be masSing cavalry at Edgefield, For
rest was instructed to meet and drive
them back II they attempted to cross
the Cumberland. The same day, the
10th of December, Gems. Stewart and
Cheatham were directed to construct
detached works in rear Of their TANKS,
which rested near the river, in order to
protect these flanks against an effort by
the Federals to turn them. Although
every possible exertion was made by
these officers, the works were not COM
pleted when, on the 18th, the Federal
army moved out, and attacked both
fanks, whilst the main assault was di-
rected against our left. It was my in
tention to have made these defenses
self-sustaining, but time was not al
The National tribune., 1906-08-02

time to remove them. Thus the total
number of guns captured amounted to
54.
We had fortunately still remaining a
sufficient number of pieces of artillery
for the equipment of the army, since, 1t
will be remembered, I had taken with
me at the outset, of the campaign a
large reserve of artillery to use against
gunboats. Our losses in killed and
wounded in this engagement were COM
paratively small, as the troops were
protected by breastworks.
An incident at the time OF the rout
was reported to me which I deem
worthy Of mention. When our troops
were in the greatest confusion, young
lady Of Tennessee, Miss Mary Brad
ford, rushed in their midst regardless
of the storm of bullets, and, in the
name of God and of our country, i'm
plored them to reform and face the
enemy. Her. name deserves to be en-
rolled among the heroes of the war,
and it is with pride that I bear testi-
mony to her bravery and patriotism.
Order among the troops was in a
measure restored at Brentwood, a few
miles in rear Of the scene OF disaster,
through the promptness and gallantry
of Clayton's Division, which speedily
formed and confronted the enemy, with
Gibson's Brigade and McKenZie's Bat
terry, Of Fenner's battalion, acting as
rear guard of the rear guard. Gen.
Clayton displayed admirable GOODNESS
and courage that afternoon and the
next morning in the discharge of his
duties. Gen. Gibson, who evinced con-
spicuous gallantry and ability in the

in rear of our right, with about 5000
men heavily intrenched. Gen. Bates's
Division, Sears and Browns Brigades,
were ordered, on the 5th, to report at
that point to Gen. Forrest, who was in
structed to watch closely that detach-
ment of the enemy. The same day in
formation was received of the capture
of 100 prisoners, two pieces of artillery,
20 wagons and teams by Forests cav
airy, at Lavergne; of the capture and
destruction of three blockhouses on the
Chattanooga Railroad by Bates's Divi-
sion, and Of the seizure the day previous
by Gen. Chalmers of two transports on
the Cumberland River, with 800 mules
on board.
We had in our possession two engines
and several cars, which ran as far south
as Pulaski. Dispatches were sent to
Gems. Beauregard and Maury to repair
the railroad from Corinth to Decatur.
as our trains would be running in day
or two to the latter point. This means
of transportation was of great service in
furnishing supplies to the army. Our
troops had, when we reached Middle
Tennessee, an abundance Of provisions,
although sorely in need Of shoes and
clothing.
At this time I telegraphed the War
Department to request that Gen. Breck-
inridge's command in West Virginia be
sent to me or ordered into Kentucky to
create a diversion and lessen the con-
centration of the Federal army in my
front. Gen. r. e. Lees necessities were,
however, more urgent than my own.

lowed. as the enemy attacked on the
morning of the 18th. Throughout that
day they were repulsed at all points of
the general line with heavy loss, and
only succeeded towards evening in cap
turing the infantry outpostS on our left,
and with them the small force, together
with the artillery posted in these unfin-
ished works.
Opening the Battle at Nashville.
Finding that the main movement Of
the Federals was directed against our
left, the Chief Engineer was instructed
to carefully select line in prolongation
of the left flank; Cheatham's Corps was
withdrawn from the right during the
night of the 18th and posted on the left
of Stewart, Cheatham's left flank rest
ing near the Brentwood Hills. In this
position the men were ordered to con-
struct breastworks during that same
night.
The morning of the 10th found us
with Lees right on Overton Hill. At
an early hour the enemy made a gen.
erai attack along our front, and were
again and again repulsed at all points
with heavy loss, especially in Lees
front. About $3.50 p. m. the Federals
concentrated number of guns against
a portion Of our line, which passed over
a mound on the left of our center, and
which had been occupied during the
night. This point was favorable for
massing troops for an assault under
cover of artillery. Accordingly, the
enemy availed himself of the advantage
presented, massed a body of men-ap-
parently one division-at the base of
this mound, and, under the fire of ar

followed by those of Cheatham and
Stevenson. The army bivouacked in line
of battle near Duck River, on the night
of the 18th.
The following day we crossed the riv-
| er and proceeded on different roads

pontoon bridge was constructed as rap

placed in position covering the roads
to the north. and during the 26th and
27th the army crossed the river. The
following day the march was continued
lin the direction of Tupelo, at which
place Cheatham's Corps. the last in the
line of march, went into camp on the
