HEAD QUARTERS 2D BRIOADE 2n
Div. 20rit A. C. INS. OFFICE,
CHATTANOOGA, TENN., Sept. 28, '63.
DEAR FATHER AND MOTHER : Again
the army of the Cumberland has met
the rebel hosts, and again I am per
mitted to write you. It would be im.
possible for me to tell you bow thank
ful I am that I escaped as well as I did;
likewise, to give you all the details of
the terrible battle which has been
fought and is being fought day by day,
since the 10th inst. I will, however,
commence this letter with a short
sketch of the movements of our gallant
army, and the work assigned it, after
which I propose to show that wo have
accomplished what we undertook—
and again inscribed the fair name of
"The army of the Cumberland" high
in tho niche of fame, and won Lew
laurels for the banner of our bleeding
country.
The work assigned the army of the
Camberiand, was to wrest from the
hands of the enemy, Chattanooga, the
acknowledged key to the whole South
ern Confederacy, which time will fully
prove.
Our army was lying in the vicinity
of Winchester,Ten,and though as brave
and well disciplined an army as march
es on the continent, it was very small
numbering only—thousand cifeetn.
al men, infantry, cavalry, and artille
ry. It was expected that we would
be confronted by Bragg and Johnston's
rebel hordes, but it was not expected
that our arty was to meet in battle
110,000 Rebels, tho combined forces of
Bragg, Johnston, Longstreet and Ew.
ell', armies.
I start with the proposition that a
battle had to be fought for Chattan
nooga, and that it was worth a battle.
It could make but very little differ
ence whether the battle was fought
14 miles South of Chattanooga in Geor
gia at Chatanooga, or at Atlanta. Suf
fice to say:that, after a march of 200
miles " Old nosey" our gallant leader,
succeeded in compelling the insurgents
to evacuate their strong hold, and fail
back to save Georgia. This was done
by threatening Rome and Atlanta
with theyight of our army—this ac
complished our army, moved by the
left flank cutting the enemy off from
this point and leaving it to our rear
and centre some sixteen miles. Tho
enemy finding himself thus decoyed,
chose his ground—massed his com
bined forces and by 12 o'clock M.
on the 19th of September, were in line
of battle and the rattle of musketry
and roar of artillery on the extreme
left of our line told us that the terrible
work had begun. Precisely at 1 P.M.
our Brigade could be seen moving to
ward the left at double quick, and in
a few minutes we were formed in
double column at half distance, and in
two miles, the 77th Pa., on the right.
A Brigade of Gen. Thomas' corps in
our immediate front had nearly ex
hausted their ammunition and had suf
fered severely from the enemy's fire,
owing to the fact that the rebels had
possession of a rise of ground thickly
studded with tall oaks and saplings,
thus enabling him to use his artillery
to a good advantage while ours was of
little or no account. Soon the order
came to relieve the Brigade in our
front which was received with a wel
come only known and appreciated by
soldiers. lore allow me to deviate
from my subject and notice a peculi
arity. The first impressions of ono
who never took a part in a battle
would be that men would be fearful
and have a downcast look just before
entering the conflict. This is a mista
ken idea. I bare often rode the lines
under similar circumstances, and no
ticed the steady step and sparkling
eyes of our veteran troops and won
dered bow jpollizent, beings could get I
used marching and manoeavering be
tween the jaws of death with a mar
tial air. There is scarcely a word
spoken—all is attention. It is then
that the true "soldier's heart throbs for
victory. But to my description of the
battle. Our Brigade numbered 1100
when we went in to the engagement.
The order to relieve the Brigade in our
front was received—the order to de
ploy into line of battle was given
}}Mich was executed in as short a time
as I can write it. To the charge was
sounded— the Brigade wo were to re
lieve fell to the ground and with a
whoop and yell our little band of 1100
passed over the front line and engaged
IMI
the enemy. Each man had GO rounds
of cartridge in his box and 10 rounds
in his pockets, making 70 per man.
Stone River" was our battle cry as
it will be remembered the enemy drove
us on the 30th of December, on the
right.. We fought with scarcely any
intermission until 4 o'clock, when the
rebels finally Poll back with a loss of
many killed and wounded, and three
pieces of artillery. We had possession
of the rise of ground and had driven
them three quarters of a mile. While
the enemy lost heavily in killed, woun
ded and prisoners; wo also found that
our ranks had been thinned—that we
had not repulsed them without the
loss of many . brave and good men
whose names will be handed down to
future generations and held sacred as
long as Americans and American in
stitutions exist.
The firing heel ceased—the enemy
had fallen back, and our part of the
line was quiet. Instead of the shout
of victory—the sharp zip of the mis
siles of death and the crashing of shot
and shell through the trees—the
groans of the wounded and dying fell
heavily- upon the ear. This to one un
accustomed to the appearance of a bat
tlefield is one of terror. Such senten
ces as follows may he heard by the
passer by. • " Tell my friends that I
died a soldier in the discharge of my
duty." " Pray for me Sohn lam dy
ing." "Tell may friends I will meet
them in heaven." By most who are
not severely wounded, such express
ions as the following may be heard :
"Boys I am wounded, give the d—d
rebels h-11-1 will pay them for this
yet. " Where is the surgeon, I want
to get my wound dressed; I think
can conic back and give them a few
more rounds."
We replenished our ammunition
and assumed the defensive. Just as the I
sun was going down, the enemy ap
peered in force, in our front, and ad
vanced with a heavy line of skirmish
ers. Our Brigade occupied the right
of our Division, and the 77th Pa. the
extreme right of the Brigade. Before
the enemy showed himself in our front
at sundown, it had been ascertained
that the right of our lino did not con
nect with the troops on our right by
three quarters of a mile. The enemy's
lino was too long for ours, and in or
der to save the extreme left of our ar
my from a flank movement, we had
to stretch our lines too much. This
was a period that tried men's souls,
and every effort was made to fill up
the gaps, which if left open threatened
our Brigade with disaster. Troops
were ordered from another portion of
the line, to occupy the vacant space,
but, alas i when they arrived the bloo
dy work had been done. The enemy
throw a heavy column on our front
which we engaged and held in cheek
until the shades of night had enveloped
the contending forces in darkness. At
this juncture, the enemy throw a hca,
vy column around our right (the 77th
Pa.) swept round and in theshort space
of three or four minutes, captured near
ly the whole of our regiment, and the
Fifth Company of the 78th Illinois,
which was posted on the left of the
77th Pa.. Among the captured, is
Col. Thos. E. Race, Lt. Col. Fred. S.
Pyfer, Major Philips, Capt. Robinson,
Capt. McDowell, and a number other
officers of the 77th. Our regiment
took about 180 men into the fightand
lost 101 in killed wounded and miss
ing. Many of those reported missing
and captured after dark, are either
killed or wounded, as they received a
cross fire from our line as well as the
enemy's guns. After the enemy had
flanked us we fell back about 300 yds.
and encamped for the night. The
enemy advanced his skirmishersabout
100 yards to his front front where his
line engaged us at sundown. I must
here relate a little circumstance which
happened just after the engagement
had ceased. I received an order from
Col. Dodge, the Brigade commander
to gather up the men who in the dark
ness had become detached from their
commands. I mounted my horse took
an orderly with me, and plunged into
the darkness toward the point where
the battle had ended, and was mov
ing about cautiously, meeting here and
there some of our scattered men, who
I directed to their regiments, when it
occurred to me that I was not far
enough to our front. I turned my
horse to the lost, and moved further to
the front. It was very dark, so dark
that I could see nothing ton feet be
fore nto, My trusty Orderly was close
behind halted, doubted—and
moved a few paces, when I was greet
ed by a streak of fire, the whiz of a bul
let and the shrill report of a revolver
on my right. I instantly wheeled my
horse and drove my heavy spurs into
his sides' By the time I had thip ac
complisLed, not less than 15 or 20 guns
'HUNTINGDON, PI, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1808,
-PERSEVERE.-
had opened upon us. My horse had
made two or three plunges through
the trees, when the trusty Orderly,
who had got by my side exclaimed,
" oh I mn shot," and fell from his horse.
My horse made another plunge, in
which my sword caught on a sappling
and almost drew me off the horse; for
tunately the sword torn loose from
the belt just in time to allow me to re
gain my saddle, when I made my es
cape with two nice little bullet holes
through the capes of my coat ; leav
ing my orderly and sabre with the re
bels. While I regret the loss of Pri
vate Stephen Black, my orderly, as
brave and good a soldier as- over liv
ed, I also regretted to leave the sabre
that I had carried and wielded on the
fields of "Shiloh," "Corinth," ''Laverg
ne," Trune "Stone River," and "Lib
erty Clap." Upon the scabbard was
engraved the name,renk and regiment
and the engagements—quite a tro-
pity, for some rebel officer. But I was
satisfied to exchange my sabre for my
life or to prevent may capture, for had
not the sword been torn from me the
instant it was, I would have either
been killed, wounded or captured. I
am now without a sword. Believe I
shall look to my friends to send me ono. '
On the morning of the 20th, we re
formed line of battle at daylight and
throw up temporary breast-works. At
9 o'clock A. at., the enemy attacked us
with fresh troops and tried hard to
storm our works. Our artillery was
well posted, and wo bad plenty of it.
Our brave boys were well concealed
behind logs and stones, and delivered
a terrible sheet of fire into the rebel
ranks, which were thrown up to with
in 20 paces of the muzzles of our guns.
I have seen a great deal of hard fight- '
ing since I have been in the army of
the Cumberland. I have seen men allot
down, in great numbers, but I never
saw men three deep before breast
works. Language fitils to describe the
slaughter, while our boys suffered but
little. The rebels threw columns one
after another in mass under the fire
of our ertillery and musketry. I saw
whole squares of rebels swept away
with grape and canister at one die
charge, of a dozen pieces of field artil
lery. At 10 A. M., while crawling
along the works cautioning the boys
to fin low, I received a contused
wound below the right knee bye. spent
grape shot which partially disabled
me, and the ball (which was the size
of a large walnut with the hull off)
not been nearly spent it would have
taken my leg off, The battle raged
furiously along the whole line. Our
Brigade fought on the left centre of '
our line. The Centre held its ground
until near 12, when the enemy over
powered
the right and loft flanks
when the centre was obliged to fall
back, which though exposed to a ter
rifle fire from the enemy was attended
with little confusion. Our left (Tho
mas' Corps) and our Division which
was on his right rallied and held the
ground steadily until about 5 P. M.
when Rosoy withdrew the whole ar
my back to Rossville a distance of
about 5 miles, The rebels were too
much crippled to follow. We encamp
ed at Rossville in good order, and on
the morning of the 21st, reformed tine
of battle and threw up strong works
during the day. The enemy felt our
lines on the left though lightly. On
the morning of the 22d at 3 o'clock
we withdrew from our works and fell
back to Chattanooga a distance of 5
miles without molestation, where we
now occupy an impregnable position.
Our lines aro strong and the rebels
know it. Our pickets are within 25
paces of each other in many places
along the lines. Thus the two armies
have been lying in sight of each others
camp fires since the 23d, and skirmish
ing and heavy cannonadieg occurs
every day. So there ended the battle
of Chickamaugua, Georgia. Out of
the 1100 men which our Brigade took
into the fight, 030 were killed, wound
ed and missing.
I now propose to return to my first,
proposition, viz; that Chattanooga had
to be taken and that in order to take
it a battle bad to be fought. That
battle has been fought, and although
many a brave man was sacrificed, yet
the enemy who had nearly twice the
number of mon that we bad—and part
of them the flower of the Potomac ar
my was glad to compromise with two
days hard fighting.
)Ve lost but ono general officer, while
Bragg's own report to Jell' Davis
states that ho lost 14 general officers.
Although we fell hacker! Chattapooga,
it was done in good order; true, we
left the battle-field in the hands of the
enemy, but I thank the good fortune
of war we loft it in poues;,ion art

which is one of Lo»gstreet's own Ma
jor's words.
The battle has been fought and who
has Chattanooga? Rosecrarfs little
army has it and they propose to keep
it. The work assigned us has been
accomplished and the Star-Spangled
Banner floats proudly over tho ram
parts of the rebel stronghold. All
honor to the dead whose blood bought
the vitals of the "Confederacy;" and a
continual hell on earth to Copperheads
and "peace" Democrats. By the bles
sing of God I hope to live to see the
day when every tory will bear the
brand of traitor on both cheeks and be
scoffed at by the civilized world. I
have a young brother at home who
will some day tako my place. I trust
that you will train him up a true
American—that you will instill into
his mind the following precepts : his
God first, his country all the time:—
teach him that a traitor to his country
is only worthy of all the disgrace that
can bo heaped upon him. Explain to
hint that a "peace" Democrat is a man
who is in the first place a dastardly
coward-.-a poor, unprincipled wretch,
unworthy the protection of his coun
try's flag, and far beneath the notice
of those who adhere to the principles
of our Revolutionary fathers, who es
tablished the only truly good, great,
and happy Government on the face of
the globe.
I have not time to write you more.
What I have written has been done in
haste, but in conclusion allow mo to
say that so long as the civil laws of our
land—alr! the land of Penn—impris
ons men for putting down treason, so
long will the military operate under
disadvantages. And I pledge you my
word of honor as an American soldier,
that revenge is sweet and it shall be
mine. Remember what I write you.—
There is a day coining when it will ho
my time to appear as a civilian, and
by the eternal gods, some Copperheads
—dirty, insignificant traitors—who,
out of fear of being brought to the
field of battle, announced themselves
as being opposed to the war and con
scientiously opposed to sustaining the
banner of their country, and the em
blem of their greatness. Tell all trai
tors that my name is Samuel T. Davis;
that I am their eternal enemy both in
this and the world to come; that bell
is full of such men as they are, and that
the devil is anxiously awaiting their
arrival. SAML. T. DAVIS.
TUT: following communication is-as
mislaid or it would bavo been publiBh
ed last week :
EAST BARRE; Oct. 5, 18G3.
Ifa. Enrrou I see from the pe
rusal of your valuable columns, from
week to week, that there aro commu
nications from the army, and from the
East and West, and from writers in
your own town, I thought perhaps a
few words from our part of the county
would not bo amiss, unless it might
bo construed into contraband of war.
I will try, however, to say nothing
that wonld convict mo without the
habeas corpus. As I am no writer I
will merely try to give you passing
events as they may occur to mo and
you will pardon me if I should weary
your good nature. Tho farmers gen
erally have finished seeding, and tho
grain begins to grow again. I have
often thought this to be the gloomiest
season of the year. The frost has ri
pened the corn, and also blighted veg
etation. Autumn is again upon us,
and the surrounding hill tops and
woody vales aro beginning to wear
the aspect of the sear and golden h3af.
Soon the old oak will be robbed of its
foliage, and its brawny limbs exposed
to chill Winter's stormy blast, and the
lovely flower robbed of its fragrance
and will crumble and die 'mouth the
clods of the valley, warning frail mor
tals to be always ready. Nature will
then assume the gloom of loneliness.—
But pardon me, I was lengthening my
paragraph; I must proceed to toll you
the news according to promise.
There was a Sunday School Festival
at Manor Ilill a few days ago, which I
am happy to say was indeed a grand
affair. The children, teachers, and
everybody else, collected at the M. E.
Church with their baskets of good
things, and after listening to an able
address by Rev. Smith, did some beau
tiful singing; then proceeded to Mr.
Ewing's grove, and there spread their
bountifq, tables and invited all to par
take of tholuxuriosspread before them.
The youth were there in grand profu
sion, the middle-aged and the aged,
each one trying to enjoy themselves in
the toot manner possiblp. Nature
erowned their table with liar rich au
tumnal fruits, and the kind bands of
loving mothers had pap 4 yiod with
each other whieh could make their lit
tle ones the most happy, and the little
ones seemed Lo think all is ours. The
teachers and superintendents were also
TERMS, $1,50 a year in advance
there, each attending to the wants of
their little ones, feeling that in the
discharge of their respective duties the
smiles of kind Heaven would rest upon
them. After enjoying themselves till
Into in the day all seemed to regret
that the day was over, but feeling that
duty called them to separate, each
feeling that theirs was a festive day
long to be remembered, Thus passed
ono of the most memorable days Old
Manor OVCV boasted of.

The year that is drawing to its close
has been filled with the blessings of
fruitful fields and healthful skies. To
these bounties, which are so constant
ty enjoyed that we aro prone to for
get the source front which they come,
others have been added which are of
so extraordinary a nature that they

even the heart which is habitually- in

of a civil war of unequalled magni
tude and severity, which has some
times to invite and provoke the ag
gressions of foreign States, peace has
been preserved with all natious, order
has been maintained, laws have been
respected mid obeyed, and harmony
has prevailed everywhere except in
the theatre of military conflict. While

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
S. B. CHENEY, Editor,
To whom all communications on tho sub=
ject of Education should bo addressott
"Who is the teacher of our school ?"‘
is an interrogation very ft ()fluently
put to the parent by the little ems
seated around the fireside at thidsea
son of the year.
They know, by some means, that
their district is entitled to three or four
months school in the year and that is
"kept" in the winter so that the big
boys can have an opportunity to go.
Well, the father says, such a man is to_
take charge of their school, and he
hopes bo will make them mind what
ho says by making good use of the
"birch."
The teacher comes and takes charge
of the school. At the close of the day
the little ones aro again around, the
fireside, not to question but be ques
tioned. The father is eager to know
whether the rod, the great auxiliary
in "school-ki!epiug," has been brought
into use, and whether such a neigh-. .
hoes children were there, and wheth
er they got a whipping the "first day
of ached." if they did, and his' chit
dren did not, then they have a good
master, who knows when children
neell - Whipping.
said concerning the mode of instrue,
tion or whether any new books aro
required by the little ones, who have
never boon taught that there was any
intrinsic value in books, but that, it
would not look well to go to school
without them.
Tie is now satisfied that they have.
a good master, and one who be trusts
will keep on the right side of Ms chil
dren, and apply the rod freely to all
who need it, for he knows his children
will not need it:
Now ; the above pirturo is not mere
ly an imaginary one, but such a one
as has been too often witnessed 111 ma ,
ny parts of oar
Whose fault is it that such a state of
things exists ? Not the father's, who,
questioned and decided as above; but
the man who takes charge of' the
school. That old father, perhaps, new
er was at school a day in his life, and
why should ho know anything of the
proper workings of a school "kept" ou
scientific principles? Why should he
know but that the old books are the
very things that his children need?—
But if on the other band his child had
come home at the, close of the first,
day's school with a smile on his NMl
tena.nee, overjoyed' with the happy
time spent during the day with the
new teacher, saying that he was So,
kind and good, and told them so many
nice things about what they were go-.
ing to do during the time be hoped.
to spend so pleasantly with them, and
that he hoped their parents would be
kind enough to get them such a book,
for it was just the one they would
need, and that they would all be good
children and study hard to improve
their minds so that they might become
useful mon and women, his questions
would have been different. They never
heard so much kindness from a teach
er in their lives, nod of course they
are delighted. If the teacher is the
right kind of n man, and the child's
heart is mild° glad by being in his
presence, the father will be likely to
go and see why it is that his child
talks so much of school an,4 of his .
books,
The teacher has the character of the
school in his hands, and if it is to be-
come an interesting one ho must make
it so. If the patrons of the school
Over raise his salary he must show
them by his zeal iu the cause of oda-.
cation that-he is worthy of a larger
salary. If he would have the number
of months in the term of school in
creased he mast improve what there
now is, for the shorter the term the
better, when that man is the teacher'
who has just taken charge of the school
for the sake of making a little money
through the rough weather in the
winter. In a word the teachers are
responsible for the character of our
schools and the length of term they
are kept open, and whenever they feel
that responsibility, our schools will be
what they should be and not till then.
