APPROACH OF DEATH PAl::LEos.
1t Comes as Naturally and Is as Vel
come as Sleep.

The fear OF death, which has been
so enormously exploited in dramatic
literature, sacred and otherwise, is said
to be almost without existence in sick
ness. Most patients have lost it COM
pletely by the time they become seri-
ously i'll.
Death and sleep are both painless,
according to DR.. Woods Hutchinson in
the American Magazine, and cause
neither fear nor anxiety by their ap-
proach. 1t is one Of the most merciful
things in nature that the overwhelm-
ing majority of the poisons which de-
stroy life. whether they are thoseof in
fectious diseases or those which are
elaborated from the body's own waste
products, act as narcotics and abolish
consciousness #long before the end
comes.
While death is not in any sense
analogous to sleep, 1T resembles it to
the extent that it is in the vast ma
jority Of instances not only not pain
ful but welcome. Pain racked and
fever scorched patients long for death
as the wearied toiler longs for sleep.
While many of the processes which
lead to death are painful, death itself
is painless, natural, like the fading Of
a flower or the falling of leaf. Our
dear ones drift out on the ebbing tide
of life without fear, without pain
without regret, save for those they
leave behind. When death comes
close enough so that we can see the
eyes behind the mask his face becomes
rs welcome as that of his twin
brother" sleep.

Did He Go Thru Columbia?

Editor National Tribune: I have been
a reader of your valuable paper for the

more for the boys who wore the blue

Iished. l enjoy the articles written by

familiar. In your issue of April'9 Serg't
Thomas. 25th Ind, writes of the pas
sage of the Seventeenth Corps thru Co.

great campaign to the sea and back to
Washington City. I never did think we
passed thru the main part of Columbia.
but always thought We passed thru the
outskirts until / got a copy of Sherman
and His Campaigns" which 1 still have.
On page 342 he says: "On Feb. II Lo-
gan, with the Fifteenth Corps, passed
thru Columbia and out on the Camden
road. The Seventeenth Corps did not
enter the city at all" Now. as | re-
member, we crossed the river near
night, or after dark; and II we passed
thru any part of the city it was some
time in the forepart of the night. i do
not remember seeing any burning cot
ton bales. or any fire, or any Ladies'
standing on the portico of a fine dwell

tance north OF the city; L awoke early
the next morning and the camp was
astir and talking about the fire. That
was the first l knew of the destruction
of Columbia l could still see the light
of the smoldering city, but could see no
blaze. The camp that morning had the
appearance of social entertainment
where all the ladies had brought
pickles-only it seemed that everybody
had brought tobacco i'm place of pickles;

Your description of the crossing at

men and marched down a ravine, at the
mouth of which was a big sycamore log
lying across the creek. We crossed and
deployed and lay down. About that
time the Major of the regiment was
wounded. and my Captain being next in
command. had to go back and take
command of the regiment. This delayed
us some, and left us under the command
of Lieut. Weaver. The order was given
to advance with no yelling. When we

being made rapidly, we soon got away
from this infantry force, but still had
Wheeler to fight. Tho McCook's D1Vl-
sion was greatly reduced by battle and
capture, it was still game and could put
up good fight.
Wheeler pushed on after McCOok,
and a few miles from Newman was re-
ported to be In front and on his right
Wheelers force being large, was soon
able to surround McCook. and the fight
ing was sharp and at close range. The
fight was continued until the artillery
had exhausted all the ammunition, and,
seeing no way to escape capture, NC
Cook ordered the guns spiked and the
men to mount the artillery horses.
McCool, seeing no 4chance to escape,
called q council of his officers to deter
mine what to do. Col BrOwnlow told
McCook that he would be - if he
would ever surrender.
What will you do2" asked McCook.
'I can and will cut my way out"
The enemy now appeared on all sides,
so 1t was surrender or cut out.
McCook, seeing no hope of escape,
gave his consent for the attempt to
break thru the lines. Col. Brownlow
! moved first, and soon broke the lines.
Gen. Croxton followed with the remain
der Of his brigade. but soon became
separated. Other troops followed the
| 1st Tenn. Cav. out, and Col. Brownlow
took command and led them safely to
Marietta. After hours of hard fighting
the whole command left the field at 5
p. m ~
Col Brownlow reached the Chatta-
hoochee River at Rotherwood at l "a.
| IN. on the 31st. At this place he found
two small cannon. but he kept them
busy, and succeeded in getting 250 OF
his men over before being attacked.
Looking back at this late date, / firmly
believe that If Gen. McCook had kept
his men together and not have stopped
to fight he could have brought mis- men
thru safely. The rebel papers severely
criticized Wheeler for not capturing the
lentire command. After many days were
spent in the swamps hiding from the
enemy the officers and men began To
return to camp at Marietta.

McCOOK'S RAID.
It Only Failed Because StOneman Dis.
Obeyed Orders


Editor National Tribune; Much has
been written about the cavalry raid In
rear of Atlanta the last of July, 1864.
Gen. Sherman was anxious to have the
two railroads that entered Atlanta from
the south destroyed, and in order that
this might be accomplished he ordered
the divisions of Stoneman and McCook
to make the attempt.
The combined strength of these two
divisions was about 5000 men, and he
calculated that this force could whip a
like number of Wheeler's Cavalry. This
was a fine body of well-seasoned Veter-
ans and led by brave and experienced
officers, and if Stoneman had united
with McCook at McDonough, as agreed
upon, there would, in my opinion, have
been no failure.
Just before starting Stoneman asked
Gen. Sherman If he could go to Macon
and Andersonville and release the Union
prisoners confined at those pla ces after
he and McCook had destroyed the roads.
This was commendable in SEoneman,
but he should not have attempted to
Iberate the prisoners until both roads
were destroyed and the two commands
united. Stoneman made no effort to
