Then the re- treat became a rout. Of it one historian has writ. ten : “The gallant 270 Incontinently turned tail and fled. The precipitation of the rout was only equalled by its completeness.

Cullowgh Of the few who performed at all creditably in this affair, so far as there is any record, Mec: Cullough was one, The day before the fight he had lost his gun, but during the engagement, it is sald, he captured another from an Indian. A friend who knew him during the Civil war and who usually referred to him as “a man of reckless bravery,” In commenting upon this fact, sald, “Armed or unarmed, I cannot conceive of William McCullough as afraid of anyone, savage or civil. ized” This bears out the statement that when Captain Covell of the First, amid all the confusion of the retreat, tried to get his men to make 2 stand, McCullough was one of the ten soldiers who rallied around their leader in his vain attempt to stem the rout, After the close of the brief Indlan war, Me. Cullough returned to McLean county. In the fall of 1840 he was elected sheriff, an office which he held for three successive terms, He was next elected circuit clerk and held that office four guccessive terme. It was during this time that he probably met Lincoln, as there is no record of their having met during the Blackhawk war. At the outbreak of the Civil war, McCullough was exempt from service because of the loss of his right arm (which had been torn off In a threshing machine in 1840), defective sight in one eye and his age. But he was determined to serve and in August, 1861, he obtained permission from President Lincoln to be mustered into the service as lieutenant colonel of the Fourth Illinois cavalry. “William McCullough was the ideal cavalryman,” writes one historian. “He was a superb horseman of martial appearance, with a full, resonant voice, white halr and beard, a natural leader of men, a courage that feared no one; watchful, careful of his men, he soon became one of General Grant's most trusted officers.” He took part in the capture of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson, and went through the battles of Shiloh and Corinth. After entering Corinth the Fourth cavalry, which was a part of the advance guard of General Sherman's army, was sent toward the west, reaching Memphis In August, 1862. In September the regiment moved to Trenton where it remained on scouting duty until the movement, down the line of the Mobile and Ohio and the Mississippl Central began when It became a part of a brigade of cavalry commanded by Colonel Lee of the Seventh Kansas, This brigade struck the forces of the Confederate generals Yan Dorn snd Price near Holly Springs and followed them to Coffeyville, There the Confederates made a stand and the cavalry brigade began to retreat The Fourth was covering the retreat.

This letter, revealing as it does the great heart of the man who in the darkest days of his career as President of a nation engaged in civil war, write a letter of sympathy to the daughter of an old-time friend, is strikingly similar in tone to the Bixby letter, which it antedates by nearly two years, A comparison of the two shows the same tenderness of spirit, the same sincere sympathy and the simple, direct phraseology which marks so many of the utterances of Abraham Lincoln and makes “them among the best examples of noble English prose ever written. The text of the Bixby letter follows: EXECUTIVE MANSION Washington, November 21, 186? To Mrs. Bixby, Boston, Mass, Dear Madam: 1 have been shown in the files of the War depart. ment a statement of the Adjutant General of Mas. sachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who died gloriously on the field of battle. I fee! how weak and fruitless ywust be any words of mine which should attempt to begulle you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But 1 cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died tc save. 1 pray that our Heavenly Father may as suage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave only the cherished memory of the loved and lost and th solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom Yours very sincuerely and respectfully, A. LINCOLN. The Fanny McCullough, to whom this new Lin coln letter was written, afterwards became the wi’ of Frank D. Orme. Her sister, Nannie L McCullough, also married into the Orme family, a family of soldiers, Her husband was Gen, Wil lam W.
