the Centre grmocrat. BELLBFONTE. PA. Old Ohioamauga General MteeJman's Charge that Saved the Dau Jor Thomas. A we Hat ono night in 187.0, in the ratty old editorial room* of the loledo Morning Democrat and Herald, of which Oen. Hteeduian was "leader writer, and 1 managing editor, I asked bits lor the •tory of Chickamaugu, where be won bin stars and the soldier title of "<>ll Cbickamaoga," of which be w s so f proud. He told it an coolly as if it wa rn dream to him : "Wby, my boy, there wasn't much to tell. 1 was in charge of the First lb vision of the Reserve Corps of the Army of the Cumberland, and had been sts tioned at Ringgold, or lied 11ou> Bridge, over the Ciiickamnuga. M> orders were explicit,'to hold the bridg at all bas enemy disuppeaied front our front. Thi sound ot cannon iding and liattle to tin northward told me the enemy hsi massed against our centre, and a gres battle was on. Front 'be noie of con* flict I judged, and rightly, that Thorn was sorely pressed. 1 fell that myoont man ! was needed, And yet could noi understand the absence of new orders I waited patiently enough from daylight until nearly noon, hoping tor some word v from ray comtnnnding otttcer. Finally | I decided to risk my neck, rather than see the Union arnty destroyed through 'my inactivity. Calling a council ot officers an' men, I explained the situa tion, read my order, told them my de cision, and that on my shoulders should fall whatever of responsibility attached to disobedience of orders. You know the inexorable military law it do a*k no questions, obey all orders, and acrep< consequences.' I know that if m< movement was a failure, my judgmpn | mistaken, nothing less than court mat | lial and death awaited me. Bui th battle was on, and every fibre in m> I said 1 was wanted. We burned lb. bridge, Hnd marched by the canno'.'- sound to Thomas's aid. Through corn fields, thickets, oak woods, we made s fearful tramp, for no man in the com mand knew the country, and our otil> guide was the cannon's boom. When I reported to Thomas he was in despsii at the loss of the key of his positiot > I which bad just been captured by Gen. llinduian's corps. The place *• indicated to me by the tUsh of c wi h seven thousand five hundred men, and only four thou aand re|>orted lor duty at the next rous her. w. went up. up, till we reached " the summit, and planted ourselves there to stay. It wss a terrible hot place, and we made the plateau a lake of blood before we drove llindmsn hark. I rode back and reported to Gen. Thomas. I was blood from head to foot. He clasped my hand and said with great emotion, ' "General Steed in an, you have saved my army,' 1 got my stars not long after wards. and that's stout all there was ol *• Yes, it was a big risk f ran, but I was right, and I knew it." Could hero hate told a simpler tale of ••If? But I heard Richard Rcmlf tell the story of Chicksroaug* in IB7fi Ileslf, the poet orator, who was provis- Vice President of John Brown s Hkvernment—and as'he pictured the on the rock of Cbickamauga, it ■ •at heroism personified in a grand ■ leader, followed by grand ruen. At one ■ critical period in the struggle, when an ■ Illinois regiment was moving hack, un ft der command of a Colonel, who slander ed bis men by saying that they would I advance no longer. Hteedraan seized , the regimental oolovs, and then shamed by saying, "You may leave the r field and sbatne yourselves, but, as God still reigns, you shall not disgrace this fieg."—When the soldiers, stung by hit I words, cried out, "General, we wilt fight, \ it aomeiody will lead us." ftteedman shouted, with that voice which thrilled men's souls, "My brave boys, IU lead you. I'll bear your flag myself, if you'll defend it. 'Tenlion, 'bout face. For. ward, double quick, march." And tho' bis horse was shot under him and be I stunned by a fall; though the flag was i-hot in tatters, the staff half gone, his right hand furrowed by bullets, and him self the target, lio carried the fl o*ed to he a daily practice, there are no ora tors, at leat none like Brutus >, who iitracted ni'oetir -uullip, of Louisiana; the profound j Calhoun, of South Carolina, and the ; powerful Hsnnignn, of Indiana. There • ere others of equsl ability throughout ■he south and southwest who filled a political canvass with fl tabes and flash** of oratory, who led great multitudes by the force of argument and made orator* a power in politics, such s* elevated ii •sr above the low intrigue and pent malice which enter too largely mio the imiincal action of the present. Nor did the south or southwest nna ess all the orators of the past.
