Dcfcnse of Gen. MiIrOy.

Editor National Tribune: l was glad
to read in The National Tribune of Nov.
IL. 1909, the article of j. A. Williams
in defense of Gen. Robert H. Milroy,
reciting the good work done by Gen.
Mtlroy in and around Murfreesboro
Tenn, during the early Winter of 1864.
l. know what he says about Gen. Milroy
is true, because l was there and in the
engagements conducted by him under
Gen. Rousseau. / always thought the
credit of those engagements and the
victories achieved by the Union army
against Forests cavalry at Murfrees-
boro belonged to Milroy rather than
Rousseau. During those engagements
l never saw Rousseau, but AIilroy was
always at the front, giving personal di-
rections to the movements of the troops.
When those two pieces of artillery were
captured on Dec. Z, 1864, it was my
regiment. the Sth Mimi, that drove the
rebels from their breastworkS and did
the capturing of many prisoners. |
captured one myself, / remember. 1t

/ knew that he would be betrayed in
the hour of battle. No man can so on
there from this Western army and do
any good. There are lots of lnen serv-
ing in the Potomac army so full of
envy, jealousy and downright mean
ness that they would rather see the
Confederacy established than that GER
tain officers should come out ahead and
completely defeat Lees army
Years after that Gen. IIazen told me
that that prediction that Nelson made
to Rope was the most remarkable
speech he ever heard in his lie.
In closing these desultory remarks
permit me to say that IIaZen WIS one

that the soldiers of the Ten.n legion

SECESSION TACTICS.

Editor National Tribune: In obedi-

| n former communication from me in
The National Tribune of Aug. 10, 1909,
| viii say that an election was held in
| Alabama in the Spring of 1861 on the
questions Of Union or Secession, select
ing delegates thereat to a State Con-
vention. whose purpose was to pass up
| on these great questions, whether the
State should remain in the Union or
secede.
| do not know whether records of
| this momentouS history are yet avail
able or not. but it was well understood
at the time that the question of seces-
sion failed to carry by $4,000 majority
against the proposition; that the ordi-
nance of secession was forced thru the
convention against the protests Of Union
delegates. 1t may seem unaccountable
that a majority of the people. could be
so imposed upon, but it is a matter of
common history that peace and virtue
often suffer at the hands of the wick
edIy violent.
/ voted in that h'st6ric election. The
friends of the Union elected as their
delegates to the convention from my
NNinstom County c. c. Shsats. who
after the war reprcsented us o term in
Congress. His opponent as delegate re-
.ceived only 27 votes. Sheats has re-
peatediy told me that we carried the
State against secession by $4,000 ma
jority; that the State 1had. been forced
out. in his tersc language. had been
pulled out of the Unien by the tail. a

the breastwOrks with the Eighth Corps
when the Johnnies, by sending forward
men dressed in our uniforms, got thru
our lines about 4 o'clock on the morn
ingof Oct 19 at Cedar Creek. They
then charged our corps, and we fell
back to a ravine below our works. Gen.
Wright ordered our brigade to form
line on the left, and we did this three
different times. but We're every time
fanked out. By this time we had got
broken up, and went behind the Sixth
and Nineteenth Corps to- reform. A
squad OF my company was standing be-
side the pike. AID | among them, when
