Chaplain Drake, of the 121st Ohio Volunteers, writes as follows to the Louisville Tournal : It was on October 7th, 1862, that I formed the acquaintance of Brigadier-General Terrill. I had heard that one of our men had died from fatigue, and whilst our brigade was resting I walked back a short distance to make some inquiries about hi.. When I returned I found that our brigade had moved on. - I was soon overtaken by Gen. Terrill and his brigade. He introduced himself to me, and then asked me "what regiment I be longed tot" I told him the 121st Ohio, com manded by CoL W. P. Reid. Said he to me, " I suppose you are the Chaplain." I told him I was. I informed him what I had been doing. "Well," said he, "that is right." He then talked some time in regard to the duties and usefulness of an army Chaplain. I was very favorably int premed with his remarks, and also with his manly deportment, and wished that all officers were possessed with the same Christian spirit. lle ordered one of his escorts to dismount and give me his horse, and told me that when I had overtaken my regiment I could leave the horse by the side of the road, and they would get him when they came up. October Bth--At Maxville, whilst waiting for our troops to get properly arranged, I again saw Gen. Terrill, and had a short talk with hint. He was the very picture of health. Whilst he ap peared buoyant, I could discover that he was thoughtful. • I will now record a fact that I have not seen noticed in print. A short distance from Maxville we were met by a large number of eitizene and quite a large number of young ladies. As we marched by them they sang a beautiful song welcoming us to the State of Kentucky. As we were leaving they sang a farewell song which brought tears from rawly eyes_ Gen_ Terrill and many others heard their funeral dirge sung that morning by the fair young women of Kentucky. When we arrived within four miles of Chaplin Bills skirmishers were pushed forward. They continued this position until we arrived near the scene of 8011012. The firing by both armies did not become general until about one o'clock P. M. - Immediately afterwards such a scene followed as beggars all description. It seemed as though the heavens and the earth were coming together, and for two hours or more there was a continu ous firing, both of infantry and artillery. Toward evening, as the sun was hiding his face from the bloody conflict, the firing gradually ceased. About nine o'clock in the evening I beard that Gen- Terrill was mortally wounded, and that he was in a house about a mile from where I then was- Desiring to see the General that had talked so kindly to me the day before, and who had fought so bravely on that day, I hastened to visit hilt before he died, and if possible to render him some assistance. - When I entered the room I found him lying upon a linen cot, and, as I ap proached his bed-side, he recognized me, and rt..ched out his hand, and as he took my hand-in his he said "Well. Chaplain, lam glad to see you;" and, after talking with him a short time, he raised his voice and spoke in an audible tone, "God have mercy on my soul." Then adjusting the clothes about him, he said, "now let me rest." He felt calm and peaceful, and met death with Christian fortitude. I was told that evening by one 6f his friends thst he was a member in good standing in the Episcopal Church. Thus has died one of the bravest men of this war. May his soul rest in peace, and at the general resurrection, may he come forth to meet his Saviour. The Sentence of C. L.
