Chickanauga.

Editor National Tribune; I have in
my possession a correct statement of
both Union and Confederate forces at
Chickamauga. The former consisted
of the Fourteenth Corps, Cen. Thomas;
the Twentieth Corps, McCoOk; Twenty
first Corps. Crittenden. The entire
Union force, infantry, cavalry and ar
tllery, did not exceed $4,000 and 1876
guns. Our total loss in that battle was
1886. The Confederate army was
composed of POlk's, Hills. Buckner's
and Walkers Infantry Corps and
Wheeler's and Forests Cavalry, max
ing in all $4,000, with 16S guns. Their
total loss was 2O,950.
You remember that some mothers,
in order to keep their little ones from
running away after dark, would tell
them that if they did so the Bogey
man would get them" Now, comrades.
with all respect for Eastern soldiers,
YOU know that such Generals as Nc
Clellan, burnside and others thought
there were always Johnnics ''over
there" and that if you went over you
might get hurt. so you would advance
IL miles and fall back 12, and the gum
boats would keep off the rebels while
you changed white collars But this
was more the case during that first
year Of the war AS you grew older,

different with the Western army, that

Billy Sherman, Pap" Thomas and
such, who said, Go ahead, boys, and

troops badly worsted $4,000 of the best

Streight's Raid.

". r. Wicker, 51st Ind, Shelbyville,
Ind. writes: II am in receipt of let
ter from Comrade William A. Nesmith,
of Logan, Ala. who was First Sergeant
in the 1st Ala. Cav, and who lives six
miles from where we had the battle
with Gen. Forrest on Streight's raid.
This was at Crooked Creek, April so,
1863. Comrade Nesmith visited the
ground at Day Gap also. He questioned
the loyal citizens that lived in that
neighborhood, and says that all the
comrades killed in either of these en-
gagements were buried and that about
three years after the war there was
detail from the ambulance corps which
took the remains up and carried them
to the National Cemetery at Nashville.
This will be of interest to the members
of the 51st and 73d Ind, Sd Ohio, S0th

The Depth of the Rap;dan.

Editor National Tribune: 1 still no
tice objections to my estimate as to the
depth of the Rapidan. The comrade
five feet IL inches tall who says the
water came above his belt hits it near
enough, as he said he helped a small
man to get over. l thought it averaged
about four feet in depth, with a cur
rent of two miles per hour. Last Sum-
mer comTade, VIM. Ruff, 91st Pa,
now at Carlsbad, N. NJ, wrote me n
personal letter, saying he crossed and
recrossed the Rappahannock and Rap
idan 26 times that year. and he thought
my estimate about right, both rs to the
depth and as to the rapidity of current.
l don't care much about that contro-
versy, anyway; but / would like to
know who the Confederate troops were
which l met at Five Forks. The place
was in little grove of trees, just where
their left flanking line turned off from
the White oaks road. What | want to
find out is whether Il certain man whom
met there lived or died. He seemed
badly wounded, and asked me for a
drink of water, which 1 gave him. Any
information leading to this end will be

mean the hopelessness of a unanimous
agreement of any sort.
The row was precipitated by Chair

trying to conceal something from the
committee. The attorney, flushed with
anger, jumped to his feet and demand
