Van Dorm at Franklin.

Editor National Tribune: At the time
Van Dorm made an attack on the town
of Franklin, Tenn, in your story of that
affair. you state that the Union forces
killed and wounded 300 of Van Dorn's
men. That must have been a typo
graphical error. There were only three
men killed-one at the Harpeth River
pontoon bridge, shot by the guard while
trying to set fire to the bridge; another
killed by one OF the provost guards as
they came thru the lawn on the way to
The bridge: the third killed out east of
the college, in the suburbs of the town.
on the Franklin and Murfreesboro pike.
/ was in that battle, and / saw these
three and no more. The rebels came
in on the Murfreesboro pike and went
back the same way.
. Gen. Rosecrans may have fortified
Murfreesboro too much, and may not
have moved as quickly as some of us
certainly drove the enemy back thru a
country of natural fortifcations in
great shape. History tells us all good
Generals took plenty of time to mature
their plans and get ready to move.
Gen. Thomas at Nashville U was there,
too) allowed no amount of urging to
force him to move out until the wealth
er was right and his plans were thoroly
matured, and what was the result
Hood lost about half of his army. Out
of 200 pieces of artillery he left almost
all of them behind. Gen. Joe Johnston,
of the Confederate army, acted on the
same plan, and proved himself to be
one of the best Generals on that side
