The Festive Hog.

A writer who can write poem
on any subject, says of the hog:
The hog is a machine that
oils itself, puts ten bushels of
feed into less space than BUSH
ell measure, and in so doing dou-
5les its value, then he can carry it
to market on its back. Corn,
barley, oats, grass, rape, clover
or any of the by products of
these loaned to a well-bred
thrifty hog, is money at big in
terest. In fact, it is a mint.
"The grain and grasses are tn e
bullion, which, put into the hog
is transmitted into coin. It is an
honest mint and gives sixteen
ounces avoirdupois of edible
meat. Properly bred, fed and
intelligently handled, this auto
matte porker will pay off our
debts, furnish the money to i'm
prove the farm, plac e a piano in
the home, a carriage at the door,
as well as a means to educate
our boys at the agricultural col
lege. "

History Of His Much Wanted Oyer.
coat, Which is Now Held by
the Writer.


ty, KY, furnished the Dispatch
with the following most interest
ing history of John Morgan's
overcoat, and sketch of the bat
tie of Green River Bridge j n
the year 1868:
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
About six years ago | had pub
lished in the Louisville Courier
Journal sketch of the battle
and the overcoat of John Nor
gan, in which | made some mis-
takes, not as to the overcoat, but
as to the battle, so l herein cor
rect the mistakes and request
the Dispatch to republish it in
it's revised form. But to return
to the overcoat: | have in my
possession the overcoat of the
Confederate Gen., John H. Nor
gan. This relic of the war came
into my possession in this wise.
On the night Of July third, 1868,
Gen. Morgan and his staff stayed
all night at my fathers house,
in Cane Valley, Adair county,
Ky. The next morning being
the Fourth Of July, some of Nor
gan's forces attacked the YAM
KEGS at Green River Bridge,
while the General was still back
at my fathers. When General
Morgan learned of the fight he
FASTENED to the battle-ground,
and in his hurry, he left his over
coat at my fathers house, which
remained in my fathers posses
sion till his death. Since then
it has been in the possession of
the writer,
A short history of the battle
of Green River Bridge may be
interesting to some of the read
ers of the Louisville Dispatch.
This bridge is situated over Green
river, in Tibe's bend, in Taylor
county. on the Campbellsville and
Columbia pike, eight miles from
the former and twelve miles
from the latter town. When Gen.
Morgan arrived in the vicinity
of the bridge he was informed
that the bridge was held by the
Twenty-ffth Michigan Infantry,
commanded by Col. D. G. Moore.
Morgan wished to pass on north
without hindrance, demanded a
surrender Of the bridge on the
evening of the 3rd of July, 1868,
which the General thought was
accorded, as his scouts reported
the enemy evacuating the bridge
on the night of the 3rd. But the
next morning, the Fourth of
July, Col. Johnson, of Morgan's
command, found the Yankees
strongly entrenched in a small
opening close to and facing the
pike. The Confederates held a
short conference as to the best
plan Of attack. Col. Johnson
asked if there was a man in the
regiment acquainted with the To-
cality around the bridge. He
was informed that Capt. R. A.
Webster was we'll acquainted
with the whole country about the
bridge. Capt, Webster wa s
hunted up and went to Col. John
son and drew a diagram in the
dust of the road, of the situation

through Lemons bend and across
the river at Hatcher's warehouse,
a point below the bridge which
intersected with the pike at or
near James Caldwell's farm, and
then to go back to the bridge
and then Morgan was to attack
the enemy from both ends of
the pike. However, before Capt.
| Webster crossed the river with
his troopers Col. Johnson, in
his eagerness for the attack, adj
vanced his battery within 400
yards of the enemy's entrench-
ment and opened fire. After
killing some of the Yankees the
remainder ran out of their en-
trenchments and fell back down
the pike behind their brestworks.
which consisted of large trees
cut down for that purpose.
A small portion of Johnson's
command dismounted and pur-
sued the enemy within a few
yards Of their breastWorks.
Only a few Confederates could
get at them. AS each side of
the pike was so densely covered
with underbrush you could
scarcely see a man twenty yards
standing up.
So the Yankees shot down
Morgan's men as fast as they adj
vanced on them. This attack
was made without Gen. Nor
gan'S consent or knowledge; it
was done while the General was
back at my fathers house, six
miles from the bridge. In the
meantime Gen. Morgan arrived
on the battle-ground, and, seeing
the situation of the enemy, he
was convinced of the hopeless
ness of further resistance on his
part and he felt it his duty to
shift from himself the response
bility of any further effusion of
blood.
He ordered a flank move,
which was done in good order,
carrying off all his guns and the
wounded, but leaving his dead
in the hands of the enemy, who
buried them all in one pit by
the side of the pike.
The Federals reported many
Confederates killed b ut f e W
Yankees, as was usual in those
days.
I assisted in the re-interment
of the Confederate dead about
seven years after the battle, and
we exhumed only twenty-three
skulls. Those together with the
bones of other brave Confederate
boys, now lie on top of the high
cliff on Green river, in Taylor
county, within a few hundred
yards of where they fell, and a
handsome monument has been
erected over their remains to
mark the spot of their last rest
ing place.
They had fought their last battle,
They had slept their last sleep,
No sound could e'er awake them to
! glory again.
