engaged in many perilOus adventures,
and emerged therefrom without any
serious disaster to himself.
when { Bucknre was once EN-
campted some fifty miles from Chat
tanOOga, Tenn, he was very anxious
TO obtain some information about the
immediate future intentions or the
FederalS who were assembled in forceI
at that place. Gen. Morgan sent Ells-I

could secure the desired ~informationl
if anybody was capable Of doing So,

his mission, and about daylight next,
morning drew rein at the house of al
man one mile from Chattanooga, who
was known to be a true and discreet
friend of the Confederate cause. The,
