came into Columbia we could hear what
appeared to be skirmishing. We soon
saw our cavalry coming up very rapidly.

were Immediately deployed in squads of
1 1 or 10 about 20 steps apart. In few
moments our cavarly rushed thru our
lines on the run. with the rebs at their
heels, and as the latter came up we
opened fire on them. They were very
close to our boys at the time, and We
dropped a few, one Colonel. as shown
by the papers found on his person. On
he evening of the 2Sth we fell bach
from in front of Columbia and across;
Duck River. We crossed on the rail-
road bridge to the north side of the
river, and turned to the right into a
little Clump of tim Der opposite Column

morning. when we discovered that the
rebels fully occupied Colu:lbia. During
the day they made determined effort
to throw a pontoon across the river at
this point, covered by two rebel bat
teries contested by one battery on our
side About dark our battery and the
63d Ind. were ordered to fall back ex-
cept Co K. which was to remain at the
crossing until II o'clock, Nov. %. We
could plainly hear the rebls crossing
and stacking arms on the north side OF
the river.
At IL o'clock we continued our re-
treat toward Franklin, and as we came
near Spring Hill we saw the rebel camp

march on the Columbia pike toward
Franklin. and shortly after daylight we
were fiercely attacked by rebel cavalry.
but successfully held them in check and
continued our retreat. AS we passed
Thompson Station we saw a number OF
army wagons that had been stampeded
and large number of knapsacks
strewn about We held the rebels in
check until we reached our lines at or
near Franklin, where we found our
command in line of battle, and learned
that we had been reported captured.
We were assigned to position and tore
down a picket fence, using it for MAX
ing small breaStworks. !, with squad
of men, was ordered to cut and lop a

lines. Our forts and batteries moved

ranks. which were immediately closed.
The boys were very eager for the fray,
and 1t was very. difficult for the officers
to restrain them firing too soon.
AT this time rebel battery opened
on us from the timber west of the pike
with telling effect. They continued to
advance without a perceptible tremOr
until they were Immediately on us. and
then ensued az haRd-to-hand contest.

ver-to-be-forgotten sight. The firing
at this time was so continuous that in
looking down our line 1t appeared to he
a wall of fire. AS said before, we held
our position until about 1880 p. IN. of
Nov. 30, when the firing gradually
ceased. We lay here until about l a.

move quietly to the left flank and rear.

"Some Errors at Shiloh" by Comrade
John r. Palmer. of the 32d Ill. Com
rade Palmer makes claims for Pugh's
Brigade. or the 41st and 32d III. of that
brigade, that l cannot indorse, especially
the part affecting the 41st. The de-
scription of the formation of the bri-
gade on the battle line referred to is, L
think. approximately correct. even to
falling back few hundred yards from
hastily formed line and reforming,
where we received our first fire. where
Comrade Palmer says: When we were
ordered TO rise and fire it Was so sud-
den that no troops were able to with
stand it. and the few remaining fed

perhaps about 1920 in the morning.
There was no force threatening this
part of the line now, and we had il all
our own way on the field at the Peach
Orchard"
Now, that might have been the case
with the 32d. but il doesn't fit the en-
vironment OF the 41St by any means,
for, as the Irishman said. I'VE had
beautiful fighting from that time on,
and it was on this line that the 41st
suffered almost its entire loss at the
battle of Shiloh. Then he says: AN
Aid from Gen. Hurlbut came with an
order for the 41st and SD Ill. to REIN
force the 9th Ill. away to the left, SO

marched in an oblique direction, per-

the fact with the 32d. but certainly not
with the 41St. We never left the posi-
ton where we received our first fire 10

Brigade. composed of the 9th. 18th and
50th Ill. did reinforce us at this point,

membered .Pugh's Brigade was the ex-
treme left of our line at that formation,
and the 41st Ill. the extreme left of the
brigade. and Co. A on the left of the
regiment. We had exhausted our am
munition. even robbed the cartridge
boxes of the dead. and were simply
holding the line by being there. when
there was also lull in the firing of the
enemy. Capt. Male. of Co. A. told his
First Lieutenant, kanan. to take 10
men and go out a little way in front

men stepped out. and they went a little
