The Raid Into Virginia.

Stoneman acted with such energy
that he caught Breckenridge totally un-
prepared. Leaving Knoxville Dec. 10,
he, Stoneman, struck Basil Dukes COM
mand at Kingsport on the morning Of
the 18th. This force was John Nor
CAMS old command, at the time under
the command of Col. Richard Morgan,
a brother of John. Basil Duke being
absent on leave. In this affair Gen.
Gillem, who had the advance, received
his revenge for the whipping which
had been administered TO him by
Breckenridge three weeks before. Gill
lem was in light marching order with
1900 picked men and horses, and I'M
encountered with any transportation ex-
cept seven ambulances. Dukes Bri-
gade was occupying a strong position
behind Big Creek, four miles east of
Rogersville- The position was too
strong to attack in front and Gillem
ordered Maj. Wagner. with one bat
talon of the 18th Tenn. Cav, to go
down the creek and turn the enemys
left flank by a ford. In the meanwhile
the Sth Tenn. Cav was to make a DEM
onstration Of crossing above the bridge
commanded by the rebel brigade. Gil
lem kept close watch upon the enemy,
and as soon as he saw that they were
disturbed by the threatening flank
movement sent the remaining two bat
talions Of the 18th Tenn. Cav. on
charge directly in front, which broke
the enemy hGto confusion. The Tonnes
see boys chased the flying Confederates
in the direction Of Kingsport, and kept
up the pursuit until p. m, when they
halted to feed and rest for four hours,
after which they resumed the chase.
Kingsport was reached at daylight the
next morning, the command having
marched A miles in "a hours.

Names Battle Flags.

The Maine Legislature has made an
appropriation for the erection of an
air-tight steel case in the rotunda of
the State House, in which are to be de-
posted the battle flags carried by the
Maine regiments during the civil war.
The flags are fast dropping to pieces,
and one of the most expert firms in the
country has declined to attempt to pre-
serve them. There are about 100 flags,
many of them riddled with bullet holes,
and some stained with the blood of the
men who carried them. Among them
is the flag carried by the 1st Me- H. A.
at Petersburg, where the regiment lost
632 out OF about 800.

of my bare-footed boys than to deny
them the childish pleasures and leave
