Reception to Van Dorm.

j. E. Mcdaniel. Co X, 4Oth Ohio.
Oieander, Cal, noticed in The National
Tribune of Aug. 25 that T. Jay Chas-
tain, III Union street, CoffeyvilIe Kan.
spoke of Van Dorm being at Franklin
Tenn, and says that Van Dorm sent
word to Gen. Granger q few days before
that he WAS going to visit him at
Franklin. At that time. says Comrade
Mcdaniel, they sent out a regiment at
time to do picket duty, and the dav
that Van Dorm paid his visit the 40th
Ohio was on picket. Co. X and Co. r.
in advance on the pike that runs from
Franklin TO Columbia, Tenn, and were
stationed in u small grove. Farther out
on the pike there was a picket post of
cavalry, who were to let them know if
the rebels came to attack them. The
cavalry started back in a hurry for Van
Dorm. and his cavalry were after them
and shooting pretty lively. They came
in three lines. Thirteen of their horses
went back riderless and the other two
lines came sweeping on, but Cos. X and
r broke them up. Then the Union men
fel! back On their reserve, which was
stationed at a brick house just at the
edge of Franklin. A part of Van Dorn's
forces made a charge and went into this
town. One rebel was killed at the
bridge, and the others went out on n
pike1just east and parallel with the one
the Union men were on. e As they went
out Il men and horses were shot They
were KILLED on space not more than
five rods square. Comrade Mcdaniel
says he was there and knows.

had been with Banks on the unfortun-
ate Red River expedition, and he was
ordered to join Thomas at Nashville, as
were also other detachments. which
combined force Sherman deemed suffl-
cient for the purpose in view.
But it took time to lick this force into
shape. The battle of Franklin, south
of Nashville, was fought-one of the
bloodiest Of the war-and our forces
then fell back to Nashville, with Hood
and his elated army in close pursuit.
CONSERVATION prevailed thruout the
Northern States, as it was feared Hood
would cross the Cumberland and march
his army over loyal territory, even as
far north as Cincinnati Gen. Thomas
vas urged to attack the enemy at once.
and so persistent were these orders that
Thomas replied that he would do the
best he could, but that if the War De-
partment lacked confidence in him he
would cheerfuliy give way to any officer
who might be sent to supersede him,
and would fight as readily IN subor-
Innate place as he would if left in COM
nand. A heavy sleet had fallen, rem

Cutting the Macon Road.

J. S. Ady, Sergeant, Co. H, 18th Ohio
Spencer, Iowa, wants to correct Com
rade c. V. Gorrell as to the 18th Ind
being one of the regiments cutting the
Macon Railroad, instead of the 18th
Ohio. Comrade Ady says the 18th Ind.
was never in the First Brigade. There
was detail of some 40 men from the
brigade to reconnoiter in their front,
OF which the 18th was a part. They
got to the railroad about 1 o'clock, cut
the telegraph wire and tore up some
track. They could see line on each
SIDE OF them, which were afraid to close

fade AdN captured a cavalryman, and
rode his horse until it was shot, and

Schofield, who had fought the battle OF
Franklin. WAS put in command OF
Thornas's army. but this order was
Countermanded the next day. Then Gen.
John A. Logan was sent by Grant to
supersede Thomas. but did not arrive,
and Grant hiTnSeif started TO Nashville
from City Point.
Then something else happened. Gen.
Thomas issued an order himself, and
sent this dispatch to Washington on
the same day: The ice having melted
to-day, the enemy will be attacked to-
morrow. Much as 1 regret the appar
ent delay in attacking the enemy, it
could not have been done before with
any reasonable hope of success
Included in this order of battle-and
/ it was the only instance in the war
where a battle was carefully planned
and fought from start to finish as
planned--wcre these directions: THE
cavalry is to he supplied with 100
rounds of ammunition; all of the troops
are to be quietly awakened at 4 o'clock
in the morning (tho the reveille is not
misleading the enemy; the army is to
move at O'Clock. the men to carry
three days rations"
And what battle that was, Every
regiment moved on time exactly as
ordered, with never n break in the line
ana never backward Step-forWard
and still forward, with the roar of cam
non and the rattle of musketry, the fall
ing of brave men in the ranks, and the
hurrying of the wounded to the rear.
Onward and onward the men rushed.
confident that their great commander
was asking of them no impossible thing.
Then Confederate TANKS were turned.
and soon general retreat followed de-
velopiHg into panic. When pursuit
ceased that splendid army, commanded
by one of the Confederacy's most bril-
liant officers-the army which had con-
fronted Sherman in the Atlanta cam
paign-had been annihilated as a fight
ing force.
Gen. Thomas died at the Presidio,
San Francisco, March 2S, 1870. The
body was taken East for burial, and as

Blood Poison can never be cured with mercury
ef potash. You might well know this first a
last. Medical authorities say SO. The most these
drugs can do Is to drive the blood poison back
into the system and smother it for several years.
Then when you think you are cured, pitiful msr.
curry symptoms will break out, and you find that
your bones have been rotting all the while. Your
teeth will begin to loosen and your tissues,
glands. brain and vital organs will show the
terrible destructive power OF the mercury and
potash. Locomotor Ataxia. Paralysis, Imbecil-
fty and Premature Death are then almost insv-
liable. Any medical authority will corroborate
these statements. The remarkable vegetable
