paper that those who surrendered were

my own experience. We arrived at
Pittsburg Landing April 5. 1862, and
went into camp on the river bank. Next
morning, at 9 o'clock, we relieved the
18th Iowa, who had nearly exhausted
their ammunition. We repulsed charge
after charge all day, until after 8
o'clock, when we saw the Left Wing
give way, and were followed up by
Johnnies. If those fellows had stood

killed; also 80 men, 70 wounded and

Wrote to All Three.

Editor National Tribune: Some time
before the battle of Murfreesbofo. while
Hartsville was the Lef. Wing of Rose
crans's army, the 10th KY. was sta
toned there, and John Morgan held the
south bank of the Cumberland River,
and nightly held fox chases for their
delectation. The 10th was relieved by
three new regiments of Wisconsin and
Iowa troops, who had not been on the
firing line, and were mostly young men,
newly groomed, spruce and clean, and
it seemed to us a pity they should be
thrust on an outpost without some eN-
perience. I talked with some of them
before we dropt down II Castalian
Springs, few miles below, and told
them of Johnny Morgan over the hill,
and that he would come and take them
across the river before Saturday night.
1 said to them: '!Ie will make you
wade hat ford and go up that road to
the hill and beyond, but on your first
alarm we will come and help you" On
Friday morning the long roll sounded
in our camp, and in Is minutes We
were double-quicking to Fartsville,
where we arrived at sunrise just in
time to see the last ones going up the
HILL everything gone but .he tents, with
few lying dead in them. / found one
