and placed on a par with the cavalry
in drawing horses and all other par
ticulars. We were armed with the long
range repeating rifle, and did most of
| our fighting on foot. Previous to Kill
patrick's raid Sherman had ordered
Gen. Stoneman, with 5000 cavalry, and
Gen. McCook, with 1000 cavalry, to
march Gone from the right flank and
the other from the left fiank) to Love-

Stoneman did not reach the railroad.
but was captured. McCook reached
Lovejoy Station. but was attacked and
forced back, losing about 500 men cap
tured, among them Col Harrison, of
the 8th Ind. Cav, well known to the
92d III. Gen. Sherman then told Kill
patrick that he might now try his hand,
and so he did. Besides his own division
he was reinforced with the brigade Of
Col. Minty and Longs Cavalry. the Chi
cago Board of Trade and 10th Wis
Batteries. We rode into Joncsboro in
the night. We burned the depot and
public buildings. We were attacked
| there by a heavy force, but by good
generaIship we elHded them and made
| an all-n1Snt narCn. AT early dawn we
stopped to make coffee and feed our
! jaded horses. but the rebel cavalry in
| pursuit changed our plans and forced
US to bring our Spencers into requisi-
tion. We sent them back, burned a
| bridge, and got down TO Joncsbora
! ahead of them. We found there "A heavy
! force of rebel cavalry and infantry, and
we engaged them. The rebel cavalry
| got in our rear close to our horses, and
| we mounted. The rebels from Lovejoy
came in with a flag OF truce, demanding
I Kilpatrick's surrender. Fitzpatrick said:

to form with drawn sabers. The 4Sh
j Mich. Cav. and the 92d III. supported
i with Spencer rifles. The flashing sabers
tglittering in the sunlight was a magnifi-
4 cent sight as the many columns flew
toward the enemy. They ran over the
rebel artillery, sabering the gunners,
! who stood gallantly by their guns, and
their lines vanished like magic. Some
of them rallied and charged the 10th
Wis. and the captured rebel battery.

i a vollcy, and captured the rebel artil-

After Hood and Forrest.

Editor National Tribune: In a late
issue of The National Tribune COM
rade states relative to Hoods army in
retreat from Nashville, that pursuit
ceased at Pulaski, Tenn, and that the
army returned to Nashville. This may
be true of the infantry. but it is not
true of Wilson's Cavalry. for they kept
up a hot pursuit of the Confederates
until they crossed the Tennessee River
Then they went into Winter quarters
at Graveliy Springs. and lived on mighty
poor beef. mush and roasted corn nearly
all Winter. / also note what VIM. P.
Steadman, of the 4th Mich. Cav, says
about the Wilson raid. He says: Gen.
Wilson started to ride into Selma after
the outer works were taken with an
escort of 4th q. s. Cav, and were fired
on from a small fort near the city"
The facts are, after the first line of
works were taken by Longs Division,
Gen. Wilson, with the 4th L. S. Cav.
galloped forward until they approached
our inner line. There halt was made.
1t was nearly dark THE line of works

About p. m. the enemy with heavy
force assaulted the line near the angle,
and carried it at that point, where Ec-
tors Brigade had built light works
which were back from the brow of the
hill and without distractions, not, how
ever, until the gallant and obstinate

men had fallen, together with the larg-
est part of the three right companies of

was made this command, the conSoli-
dated fragments of the I'd, 10th, 18th,

tested the ground, under Maj. Lucas,
and finally, when overwhelming num-
bers pressed them back, only 65 of tho
command escaped, and they not as a

A FIERCE LITTLE FIGHT.
Thirteen 11th Ind. Boys Wiped Up the
Ground With the Black Horse Cav.

airy.
Editor National Tribune: While the
11th Ind. was lying at Cumberland, Nd.
in June, 1861. company of mounted
scouts was organized by Col. Wallace.
Dave Hays, a Corporal in Co. A, was
selected as the leader of this band of 13
men, who were soon to electrify the
country by their deeds of daring.
On June 81, while this detail was
scouting in the vicinity of the village
of Frankfort Hays discovered.41 OF the
enemy's Black Horse Cavalry. He hur-
riedly informed his detail. and said:
What do you say, boys? Shall we
fight emp" The answer was: Yes;
we're all ready, Dave; go in" The Cor
poral gave the command. and. leading
the way with pistol and saber, the fight
was on, and in the short interval to fol-
low eight of the Virginia Black Horse
Cavalry lay dead. Later in the day Hays,
having received two bullet wounds and
several saber cuts, and being cared for
by two of the men, Baker and Dunlap.
the command devolved upon Farley.
The enemy now being reinforced, the
scene of conflict changed, and the bat
tie began again, with 10 of the scouts
to meet it. They all dismounted, turn
ing their horses loose and took advan-
tage of the rocks overhanging Patter-
sons Creek at Kelly's Island. Here
the battle ragged until Sundown. On
the porch of a farm house near by, as
told by the owner, lay 20 Confederates,
only three of whom were alive.
Richmond papers. in commenting on
this initial battle at Kelly's Island, gave
their losses in killed and wounded at
35, saying that two companies of Black
Horse Cavalry had engaged the 11th
Ind. at that point. Our loss was: Hol-
lenback killed and Corpl Hays severely
wounded. The writer. who belonged to
Co. 1, was there with it, and ever after
during the entire service, believes that
the heroic conduct of this little band
justifies the recital. the truth of which
has been fully attested. The names of

THE CAPTURE OF sHY's HILL.
McNfillan's Brigade at the Battle OF
Nashville and the Gallant Assault
They Made There.


Editor National Tribune: The as
sault and capture of Shy's Hill at the
battle of Nashville. Dec. 16, 1864, was
not surpassed for daring and brilliancy
of execution during the war
Shy's Hill was little to the left of
the Confederate center. 1t formed the
salient point of the enemy's lines. that
ran east and southwest from it. 1t was
strongly intrenched, particularly on the
north side. The works were surmount-
ed with head logs under which troops
could fire in comparative safety. The
importance of the position was fully
appreciated by the enemy, as it domi-
mated their own as well as the Union
lines
Consequently Bates's Division of
Cheatham's Corps, the flower of the
Confederate army, was moved up to
defend it. Tyler's Brigade commanded
by Brighten. Thomas B. Smith, formed
the left of Bates's line; Finley's Bri-
gade, commanded by Maj. Jacob A
Lash, occupied the center. while Jack
sons Brigade. commanded by Henry r.
Jackson, formed the right, extending
down the east slope of the hill, joining
Walthalrs Division, that occupied the
intrenchments on the flats still farther
east. Then, right in rear of Bates's
