Thomas was our brigade commander, Our first rendez- ‘yous was at Lebanon, Ky. where the 10th Ky. was recruited and organized. We were mustered into the United vember, 1861. "The other regiments of the brigade had: seen some severe ser: vice, especially the 10th Ind. and the 14th Ohio, before coming-to Lebanon, where the brigade was organized. Of the 4th Ky. the writer has no data | upen which ‘to make any statements regarding itt previous record. Dec. 81, 1861, bright and early, the brigade moved out upon the pike with colors flying, every man “load- ed to the guards,” and to the step of the martial music dealt out by the fife and drum band of the regiment we marched “off to the war.” Many an amusing incident of the first day's march comes np from memory’s dark. ened chambers while recalling these facts, which might look well in this narrative.-but-as I started to- relate ers by simply saying that: we were from the date of starting to the date of the battle reaching the grounds. The 19th day of January, 1862, came* on Sunday. On the Friday before, after the usual number of hours’ strug. . gle through mud and brush to make a few miles, we went into camp about. “one hour by sun,” as had been our custom, where we expected to remain in quiet repose until the dawn of an- other day, when we would be ready to continue our march. But this wasnot to be. We had just finished our frugal meal (supper) when “attention” was sounded, followed by “fall in,”’-and in a few minutes we were marched out of camp offi on a 'bywroad; plodding, through mud and slush, on a “wild- goose chase” ‘of about ten miles. It turned out to be a “water-haul,” and we did not return'to our camp until about 4 p. m, the next day (Saturday). The 14th Ohio was with us, The two regiments (4th Ky. and 10th Ind.) of our brigade had resumed their march on Saturday morning, and as a result one half of our brigade was at one point on Saturday night and the other Half at another, with ten miles hetween. We of the 10th. Ky...did not zoll out very early the next morning, it being Sunday, and besides that our side trip had Been made during asheavy rain. However, the sun came out on that Sunday morn and found us preparing breakfast, generally, with fires all through the camp, upon which the coffee was boiling, and around which stood the men drying their clothing, which had become thoroughly soaked the day and night before, chatting and chafing in the customary way, when there came to our ears the boom ofa big gun. All was hushed instantly, and only glances full of inquiry were exchanged. Then came the second boom, reverberating through the trees, soon followed by another, then another, until there appeared scarcely a second’s interim between them. During this time each man, as of one accord, secured the best cup of coffee he could, and while rushing for his gun and sccounterments gulped down the bojling fluid, and thus was ready. to fall in at the command; In an in- credibly short time the line was form- ed and was out upon the country road, and we were marching in route - step toward the cannonading that had been the disturbing element in our eamp. A forced march of 10 miles is not a pleasant way of annihilating space, especially upon an empty stomach. ‘Well, we made it, and upon nearing the battle ground we passed an impro- ‘vised hospital where Surgeons were. busy dressing wounds just received. The next object of interest fo us was ‘the remains of the Confederate Gen. Zollicoffer. with his body ' and limbs extending from it. His clothing had been near- His head was near a tree Li ie making ourselves at home in another man’s house during his absence; but, then, what could we do hut to content ourselves as best we could under the circumstances. We had come a long way to visit them. The weather was bad and the roads miserable, and we felt that we must have a rest; so we, entered. The 10th Ky. went over the works in line of battld while the 14th Ohio went over by the right flank. Both entered about the same instant | at different points. When we got into their camp, as stated before, they were not there. Judging by appearances, however,they must have been looking for or expect- ing us. They had left everything that they possessed for our useand com- fort.. There were the quarters all up and furnished with beds and bedding, plenty to eat and fuel to cook it. Fine shotguns, swords, cannon, muskets ammunition, and clothing of fine. quality, fine boots, night-shirts, trav- eling-trunks; toilet articles, table sets chinaware, sewing-machines, and horses, mules and wagons without number—yes, all of these things and more had they left to our use. Only think what a warm reception they had prepared for us, and then, after all, they were not at home to receive us. We never received any “cards of re gret” explaining their forced absence, nor do we know to this day why they were not there. We, however, made the best of the conditions as we found them, and took our hats off and con- tented ourselves as best we could. There was one article they left us, which looked very unkind on their part. This was an “animalcile,” which developed into typhoid fever, and I actually believe that our loss from that + disease was greater than would © have been had they.remained and kept us out of their camp. «+. & 3 ! That afternoon’ the: writer visited regimental headquarters,and there met Col. 8. 8. Fry. of the 4th Ky. Finding him alone, and knowing him well, I approached him on the subject of Zol- licoffer’s death. “I saw at once I had touched him upon a delicate subject. He was loth to talk about it at all, nor would he have related the circnmstan- ces of that casualty until he became convinced, more by my manner than by any words of mine, that it was fiot throtigh miere curiosity that I ap. proached him upon the subject. In rather a reluctant manner he related what folows, and here I speak or write as coming from him: . = 7 ¥ ©T heard constant and rapid firing on the right of my regiment,and I rode over there to learn the cause of it. I rode past the regiment by the rear, and turned thén to the front, coming out of the thicket into a clear field. The first object my eyes took in was a _man on horseback, He wore a plug hat, and his person was enveloped in a rub- ber coat of light color. . I saw no in: signia of rank about him, no side arms or pistols.! As I'drew up to examine the ground and take in the situation, this man approached me, and pointing towards the woods on the opposite of the clearing we were in, said: ‘Col- onel, we ought not to fire upon our own mena part of whom are over there” | I looked at him, then in’ the direction he had indicated, and to gatisfy myself regarding ' the -matter, turned my horse and rode off in that course. I'liad@ ridden but a short dis- tance when I heard the click of cock- ing a pistol. I immediately turned my head to look back, reining my horse's head around at the same time, and as my vision took in the spot I had just left the stranger on, alone, there, right at his side, sat a man on a horse with a pistol in his hand, pointed straight at me. Before I had got squarely aronnd he pulled the trigger, and the bullet missed hitting me, but pene- trated the lung of my horse, from the effects of which he died a few hours after. Immedialely after firing he put spurs to his horse and galloped off. In the meantime I had gotten out my pis- tol, and thus queried: ‘Who is the man in the rubber coat that approached me about shooting our own men? The man who tried to kill me is no doubt his friend, and, as such, he must be my enemy.’ I raised my pistol, took aim, fired, and he fell to the ground. I afterwards learned that it was Gen, Zollicoffer.” : This was told me over 30 years ago, two days after the oecurrence. AsI have seen several accounts of this inci- dent printed, none of which were cor: rect, the thought came to me that I would put Gen Fry's own words, spoken at the time, into print, that the exact truth may be carried down to the future.—I.

The two boys mounted a horse and started for Pigeon Creek, near their place. When they entered the stream the horse became restive and threw both boys into deep water.

A WiscoNsiN jury has found that seven men who indulged .in the di- version of lynching a criminal some weeks ago were all insane on the night of the crime. Three of them are held to be insane still and have been sent to an asylum, but the other four are considered to have recovered their reason and were discharged. The verdict is an extremely valuable contribution to the law of insanity. It may seem almost incredible that seven men of previously unquestioned mental competence should simultan- eously be seized by exactly the same sort of madness, should disguise themselves, proceed by separate paths to a meeting place, and thence in a body to a jail where the common ob- ject of their insane resentment was incarcerated, should take .this pris- oner out and hang him, dispersing them to their various homes, giving thereafter no sign of madness—all this methodical procedure seems a strange form of insanity, but insan- ity it must have been, for a jury of twelve good men and true at Dare lington have said it. on Jorn O.
