QuRutrcll ami His Band of Guerrillas in the Southwest. Editor National, Tribuxe: The fol- lowing narrative I have every reason for "believiue to be true. I received it from men who during the war were well acquaint- ed with the individuals named. Lieut. Jen-tin- s fills, at this writing, an important office on the Sauta Fe Railroad, and is well known as a man of great courage and resolution. Oliver Shaw, the other of my inlormanin, was caught in Texas by the rebellion, and, being an excellent gunsmith, was compelled to exercise his trade in the Contederate shops at Bonham. Among the portents in the days of which I write, none were more baleful or figured more largely in the Southwest than Charles Qnantrell, the guerrilla, or, as he was known by the Confederates. Quantrell the partisan. There is no doubt that Quantrell was commissioned as a partisan officer, with the rank of Major. As Mich, he was more or less under the direction of the officer in whose jurisdiction he might be operating. About the 1st of December, 18G4, he aud his band appeared at Sherman, Tex., a towu not far south of Red River, which here forms the boundary between that State and the Indian Territory. Among the skir- mishes which led to their retreat to Sher- man was one which ocenrred between Jen- kins's troop ol 2d Colo. Cav. aud a portion of these guerrillas. The retreat of Quautrell was well known to the military authorities, and measures were promptly taken to intercept them. Two of the three parties into which the band was divided eluded the Union cavalry, but Lieut. Jenkins corraled the third iu a bend of one of the riven of those regions. The guerrillas were compelled to take to the water, so hotly were they pursued, hoping to be able to mount the perpendicu- lar bank of the farther shore. The river, however, was nearly broaht deep, which, added to the hight of the bank, tendered it impossible for them to ride out. At this moment the Colorado men opened b. deadly fire upon them, killing and wound- ing men and horses. Finding themsvlves io a trap, the guerrillas, sheltering them- selves behind their horses, returned the fire of the cavalry. The-e- , however, were be- hind trees, logs, and stumps, and scon every horse fn the river was killed. Dtoperate over their situation, the rebels taunted the cavalry, daring them to come out and fight in the open. But Lieut. Jenkins kept hit- men steady by telling thtm that ''only bullets count now." That detachment, al- most to a man, was cut off. Alter this the gang still numbered folly 300 mounted men. It is true, however, that, officially, 80 men whs bis full complement. His first officer wa-- t oue Todd, a tlini, tall man, who had been a druggist before the war. A heavy-se- t fellow named William Anderson, commonly called "Bill" Auder-so- n, was his officer. He was brutal in appearance, and hi actions accorded with his lookf. He had a Third Lieutenant in one Fletcher Taylur, called ''FleJch" by the others. He had lost n areu in his Jast foray, and in demeanor was as clever and gentle- manly a little one-arm- ed man as'.'vercuta throat or pMtolcd a helpless prisoner. In this campaign, too, had occurred the Gen. Blunt inTray, in which a son of Maj.-Gv- n. Curtis, of io;va, was killed. The affair wa? a complete surprise to both parties, be- ing an accidental encounter at a crossroads in the brush. Blunt'd men are said to have acted shamefully, suffering a loss of 75 men killed, chiefly after a surrender. It is diff- icult to get at the facte with reference to this part of the tragedy. Thirty of the guerrillas were killed, which would indicate a hot fiuhtw Young Curtis was as he was climbing out of the ambulance. A consider- able booty was secured by the gang, belong- ing to Geti. Biuut, a portion of which con- sisted of two fine upans of mules, with their harness, and a oontlr ambulance, afterward sold in Texas for $300 in gold. The Gen- eral's gold-mount- ed carbine and sword were also reported among the trophies. The dang of the guerrillas' sabers was dis- tinctly brard in Sherman while they were yet b;f a mtle distant The citizens turned ont n raavse to welcome them as they ap- peared with banners flying and the pomp and circumstance oi successful war. They were loudly cheered, and many affectionate demonstrations manifested how near to the hearts of the people these men were. They were dined and wined, after which they rode to a plantation some 20 miles from Sherman, belonging to a Dr. Potts, and which lay along the banks of Red River, not far above the old town of Preston. There was not a day of their stay in this camp when thtre were not more or less of them iu Sherman. Their presence abonl Sherman kept every thing in a lively frame of mind. These cut- throats were full of pleasant turns and quips in which revolvers played a distinguiuhed part. There was scarcely an object not utilized as a target. Dogs, oats, ami pigs were killed wholesale. None were tufe un- less kept within doors by their owners. Store door knobs in particular attracted their attention ; bets were made as to the number of bullets it would take to knock one to pieces. Every knob around the tquare was demolished. Strange as it may seem, this pistolade hurt no person save a Mrs. Martingly, who was struck in the back by a bullet that glanced Irom a door knob, and inflicted a sliuht wound. She wan stooping over the stove cooking dinner at the time. In such harmless pleasantries did these men while away their hours in Snermau. The Confederate officer coramanditiK this part of Texas was Gen. Henry K. McCul-louii- h. His command was known as the Suli-Disiri- ct of Texas, with Headquarters at Bonham, the capital of Fannin County. The Gen. McCullough killed at Pea Ridge was his brother. It was this officer also" who In 1863 was defeated by the blacks at Milliken's Bend during the siege of Vicksburg. The writer well remembers the roar of artillery and the rattle of musketry of that battle. That night through all the camps around . the city a gem-ni- l order was read from Gen. J Grant announcing the victory of the blacks, assisted by a handf nl of whites, over some thousands of Co nfr demies. Gen. Henry E. McCullough was at this time well up in years. He had all the ap- pearand of a good-nature- d, thrifty, hospit- able old farmer rnd neighbor, which in truth he was. He had no military educa- tion. However, he was a good District Com-niaud- er, and all his staff "were like him. While Quantrell was at Sherman. McCul- lough received orders from Gen. E. Kirby Smith to have Quantrell appear at Bonham to be assigned to regular duty. Quautrell, however, failed to report. Alter two weeks of waiting, aud no Quantrell appearing, a special courier was dispatched with pcr-empt- oi y orders to report forthwith. At the same time, to stiffen the otdcrs, he sent a detachment of 300 infantry. The infantry took the main road from Bonham Ao Sherman. While en route Quantrell, accompanied bv 20 of his rough-ru- u rs. made their appearanco at Gen. MeCtil-longh'sHeadquart- they haviugcome down by Colbert's Ferry, a road nearer the river than the one upon which the iufautry were marching. The General's quarters were npBtairs in the courthouse, which stands in the middle of the public square. Riding to the court- house, the guerrillas dismounted on Hie south Vide of the building. Quantrell went up to the General's office at once. He was ordered under arrest, and his revolvers taken from him. The General laid them upnu a bed in a room opening upon his office. The guard about the office consisted of a couple of gray-txiunt- ed conscripts, tarmed "with Belgian uiuekets. Bill Anderson". When Ibis was done it was dinner time, and the General, with true Southern court- esy, invited the guerrilla to dinner. The invitation was declined with thanks. No sooner had MeCullouuh and staff dis- appeared in the direction of the dining-ha- ll than Quautrell sprang through the door of the bedroom, seized his revolvers, disarmed his guard", and, runniug down the stairway, shouted to his men: " Mount your horses! I'm arrested 1" Mounting, they galloped swiftly away, disappearing up the road bj- - which they came. E'ght miles from Bonham oue of their hor.-e- s showed signs of giving out. Meeting a man well mounted, they halted him, exchanged horses, and continued on to camp. The next day the infantry reached their camp, only to find the guertillas on the op- posite bank of the river in the Indian Terri- tory aud outside their jurisdiction. The officer commanding the troops and Quautrell parleyed across the river, which is here very narrow. Quantrell informed the officer that he did not wibh to fight-Texa-s troop", but that he would not be ;ir-rest- ed. As the result of the conference, Quantrell agreed to leave Texas for good if he should be letaloue. In a few days he set out lor Missouri. It is just to say that at this time the band was falling to pieces. Bill Andercon and 20 men had left the original gang and gone to B&nhatn. The occasion of this was Fletcher Taylor, who had been accused of murderinj and robbing a rich old planter tip on Red River Maj. Butts. For this crime he was tried by a court-marti- al con- vened by Quantrell, found guilty, and con- demned to be executed. Hh guard designedly gave him an opportu- nity to ehcape, which he improved promptly. Toward morning he rode up to a cabin some lhre miles east of Sherman, and requested to be allowed to stay the remainder of the aitthL The old man, owner of the cabin, r.'JUiul to open the door, for the guerrillas hvi made the times too squally to run any ??"V But when he learned the name of the fi.gtie he toul him there was a ladder out-bi- de at the end of the cabin leading to the loft. He was welcome to go up there and sleep tvjih the boys, and his old woman would feed him iu the morning. Not long after this he joined Anderson at Bonham. These men all accompauied the infantry tent to arrest Quantrell, but they took no part at the time either way. Bid Anderson was subsequently killed on the banks f the Missouri, above Booneville. His wife vita a Miss Bush Smith. It was reported that she received at the hands of the band, who returned from the Price raid, $1,500 in gold and greenbacks, to- gether with some silks, which were all packed in a pair of pants and strapped behind the eaddle. The v idow published in a Texas pper, the McKinncy Messenger, issued by a Quaker throughout the entire war, a parody on "John Anderon, my Jo John, which she changed to "Bill Andtrson, my Boy Bill." As for Fletcher Taylor, when peace was restored he returned home with his empty sleeve. Subsequenty he married a very estimable youug woman, the adopted daugh- ter of Mr. S. Noel, of Nashville, Tenn. The band went to pieces in Kentucky. Edward B. Heatok, of Gen. Frank Wheaton's Headquarters, Afion, Iowa. KENESAW. IVhat tlio Third IJrladc, Second Division, Fourteenth Corps, Did on tho Jiventful June 27. Editor National Tribune: On the night of June 25, 1SG1, the Second Division, Fourteenth Corps, was taken from the line near Little Koueniw Mountain and moved about, four miles to tho right, where we lay in camp. On Sunday, tho 2Gth, we broke camp early the morning of the 27th of June. The Third Bngsde formed in mass, and it was competed v- - the 125th, 85th and 86th 111..22U IntL and the 52d Onio. We formed some dibtai.ee iu the rear of the line held by the First Division. The Second Brigade was on our rigbL At the agreed sgnal we crossed our front line of works, a small branch and a wheat-fiel- d. Th rebel front line was soon taken. It was just at the edge of the timber. Hero the 52d w ordered to lie down for a mo- ment. In i few moments we went on and soon found ourselves at the top of the hill hugging nK'thor earth in company with all who were left alive on that hill. The rebel works were built just over the hill ; so that when we lay down we could see the sky un- der a thin head-lo- g, and woe be to any Johnny who dared darken that space a dozen guns would crack. We fcoon h.vi ourselves protected by works thrown up i. j tin cup, plates, or anything that would move dirt. These works were built just 27 steps from the rebel works. On the day .'ollowing there was an armis tice to give Ume to bury the dead. That night we started a new line just 12 steps from outside to outs'de from the rebel works, notwithstanding they kept turpentiue balls burning all night long. We also started a tunnel under their works, and had it nearly completed o.. the night they left. When at Marietta, Ga., two years ago, a citizen told the writer that those works are just as plain aad well defined as thoy were (THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1894; when we left them, and ho said it always has been a mystery to him how one line-of-batt- le could get so close to auother as we did and live. But the works are there to-da- y, four miles from Marietta, Ga., to speak for them- selves, notwithstanding Gens. Sherman's and Joseph E. Johnston's articles in the Century to the contrary. I. M. GRAY, Co. E, 52d Ohio, Ha en, Kan. HAD TWO DAYS' START. Clever Ruse of an Indiana .Boy to Get out of Andersonville. Editor National Tribune: It was during the month of August, 1864, that the writer was engaged, uuder a parole of houor, as a grave digger in the now historic cemetery near Andersonville prison. While there one of the prisoners, belouging to au Indiana regiment, made his escape under the following remarkable circumstauces: Tho Indiana boy, as I will call him, inas- much as I know not his name, was one of the healthy ones confined at that time in that Southern inferno, and was conse- quently requested to aid his hall-dea- d com- rades, once a week, out of the stockade to attend a so-call- ed sick-ca- ll for medical treatment. On being daus permitted to inhale a purer atmospheie, soon the desire for liberty invaded his breast, and for days and nights he studied upon a plan to escape. On being out again, he was ordered by the Surgeon to go to the brook near the cook-hou- se to get water for his sick com- rades. In going thither, he had to pass, on his left, the little shed, covered, arbor-lik- e, with pine boughs, and known as the dead-hous- e. He noticed that the driver of Lthe dead-wag- on wore our uniform, and upon inquiry found that the driver was one of our own men. Unobserved by tho Surgeon, ho passed around tho renr end of the dead-wago- n, and proposed to the driver that on his next coming out with sick men he would climb in through the rear end gate of the dead-wago- n, alter the load was about completed, lay himself apparently dead upon his dead companions, be h"t!led to the cemetery, and thence make h:5 escape. A few days later, on a sultry, rainy day, our Indiana boy was again outside, bring- ing water to his lesi.-1'ortun- ate comrades. Tiie dead-wag- on was again iu front of the dead-ar- b ir, this time a little closer up to the shed tnan usual. Sixteen dead lay like so many fence rails on top of each other in the wagon bed, ready to be taken to their final resting place. The Indiana boy passed, aud, on a signal from the driver, went to the end gate of the wagon and crawled in, stretching himself out on top of his silent comrades, disregarding vermin and mortification. By some mishap the wagon was detained about 15 minutes, and it was during that time that another one of our men. a hospi- tal attendant, passed in rear of the dead-wago- n, and noticed that the dead man on top had good shoes on his feet, an article of clothing very much needed by the living, and useless to anybody in the grave. He exam- ined them, found them perfect, and of the exact, number for a perfect fit. He began to open the strings. The thoughts that passed through the mind of the sham dead Indiana boy can only be imagined should he move he might be betrayed, should he lose his shoes, he could not travel and escape. Thus he lay motionless until the unknown hand tried to pull them off, when he arose and in a low, subterranean voice uttered: "St-ip- , d n you! I need those shoes my- self." Like a statue, motionless, stricken with awe. stood the man who wanted the sho's; he thought the resurrection day had come, and in terror, as fast as his trembling limbs won d carry him, he fled from the confines of the dt ad. The wagon started and arrived at the cemetery. The Indiana boy and the driver related the story, shook hands, and with a 44Kood-by"lh- c escaped man went into the thick underbrush at the northeast corner of the woods near the cemetery. . Two days later the old reb with -- his' bloodhounds came to the cemetery, and iu- -r quired : "Did you'ns see a runaway Yankee this week?" To which question a "'No, sir," was given. In a few days the writer met the old hound man, and d him : "Well, did yon catch anybody the other day?" To which he replied: "No! Hell it-s- e f can't catch a Yankee, if he has 48 hours' start of the hounds." If the Indiaua man should be alive and read the above I wish he would write to me. J. L. Younkok, Corporal, Co. A, 12th U. S., Maxville, O. A BRAVE MAN. Gen. NoUon Shown His Efficiency In tho 3'iice of Defeat. Editor National Tkibune: Mnchjias been written aud published about Gen. Nelson. I want to give the ijfeneral credit for being a brave man, and one- - who wanted every officer aud enlisted man to do his. duty. Those who were in the 'Regular service know well that it was very necessary to have strict discipline, aud that in the volun- teer service the officers aud men were almost invariably friends aud neighbors before the war, entire companies coming from the same city, town or township, and when they were afterward astociated in military life with the Regular Army they noticed that the officers of legimcuts of Regulars did not as- sociate with the men. There were two very good reasons for this. Oue was that the en- listed men were strangers, coming from many different towns and States. Then, the officers had been educated to treat the en- listed men as mere machines. I have no personal knowledge of Gen. Nelson, except during the month of August, 1862. When at Richmond, Ky., 10 raw regiments of infautry were sent forward from Lexington to guard the country near Richmond, with positive instructions to fall back 10 miles to the Keutucky River, should the enemy appear in great force. Bufe through some misunderstanding or blunder these orders were not obeyed, and an engagement was brought on, which re- sulted very disastrously to the Union troops. Gen. Nelson, hearing the sound of heavy cannonading early in the morning of Aug. 3i), mounted his horse without waiting to put on military clothing, and rode with his staff officers to the scene of action, 30 miles away from Lexington, for the battle began seven miles southeast from Richmond. When the General met our command, it was in full retreat before a force of the enemy twice the number of ours. He was angered at the disobedience of orders, but began at ouce to get brigades and regiments iu line for effective delense. Ho partially succeeded, but it was utterly impossible to make a stand against the superior force of the enemy, and also an impossibility to get away from our foes; we were flanked, and about to be surrounded. After fighting and retreating until sunset, tho General and bin staff left, aud made their way back to Lexington, and the ma- jority of the troop9 were taken prisoners. Gen. Nelson manifested good judgment, came onto the field, brought order out of disorder, aud remained with the command making a desperate stand against great odds,' and then, when a choice must be made be- tween being taken prisoner or riding through the rebel lines to escape, chose the. latter and returned to Lexington, thence to Louis- ville, with tho troops not engaged, joined by those who were. Ambitious officers had their friends, and those who were termed military despots were not popular; yet those very strict dis- ciplinarians were in fact the best real friends to the men. Where there was strict disci- pline was noticed better health and good servioe. H.

''I was on the road to Winches- ter," says Webster, "about six miles beyond Middletowu, when I met Sheridan on his ride to the front. The littlo Orderly was his sole company. In about a half hour I met his staff. They pulled up and asked me if I had met the General, and how far off he was, and I gave the information asked. Wbo was the little Orderly?

A, 14th Me., Bangor, Me., writes: "Some weeks ago I noticed an article from the pen of Gen. Minty, reflecting severely upon my article on the custody of Jeff Davis and his guard (Co. A, 14lh Me.), of which I was the com- mander. As Gen. Minty stated that he had called the attention of several officers of his regiment who claimed to have been the guard of the rebel President, and would further show the falsity of my article, I have waited for him to do so. "I wish to state to the comrades that in no respect have I intended to impose upon them, but simply to relate what my com- pany did and where they were whilo Jeff Davis was conveyed to Fort Monroe. Gen. Minty may prove Beveral errors in my state- ments, as calling steamboats by the wrong names, but he cannoprovc that Co. A, 14th Me., wiiB not with Jeff Davis while he was being taken front.

THE RAILROAD REGIMENT- - Something About the 80th 111. and Its Fight for the Union. Editor National Triuunk : It seems as if a regiment that participated in 23 en- gagements, marched 2,253 miles, and rode 1,127 miles by rail from the time of leaving Louisville Aug. 20, 18G2, until return there and muster-ou- t June 10, 1865, deserves some mention in your columns. The regiment first did business in the line of fighting at Lawrenceburg Oct. 7, 18G2, afterwards at Perry ville, Stone River, Liberty Gap, Chickamauga, Orchard Knob, Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge, Dan-- d ridge, Rocky Face, Resaca, New Hope Church, Dallas, Kenesaw, Peachtree Creek, Atlanta, Jonesboro, Lovejoy Station, Colum- bia, Spring Ilill, Franklin, and Nashville. The regiment had a total of 1,403 men, transferred 202 recruits to the 59th 111. Vet. Vols., mustered out 1581 of the rank aud file, leaving a record of 820 men killed, died from wounds, or discharged on account of disability. The last time I saw the regiment was at New Hope Church (some call it Pickett's Mills), near Dallas, Ga., May 27, 18G4. The Third Division, Fourth Corps, under Gen. Wood, was ordered to flank to the extreme left, but before we got there we ran against a snag in the shape of Gen. Pat Cleburne supported by Gen. Hurst, and another divis- ion (the General's name I do not remem- ber). I need not ask any of our division (the Third) if they remember tho hand-to-han- d work we had there. There is an old saying that " bloocTwill tell," aud I think it told there, as I have been informed that tho Third Division lost nearly 1,700 men that night. I know the 89th was terribly cut to pieces; that my old company (A) went into that engagement with 45 men, and that her record shows there were 11 at next moraine's roll-cal- l. I know that I received two hard wounds in less than as many minutes, aud that in the morning I was beating Gen. Sherman and his entire army into Atlanta, on my way to Andersonville and oilier -- pjeasaut resorts, where I remained " coliugvcoffee " (in my dreams) a long year. I found after my cant tire that the John- nies were well acquainted with us, from the corps down to every regiment in it, and that all knew Gen, Willich's Horn Brigade, aud his children Tip Johnnies couldn't catch on to our bugle, calls, which, you all remember, were the German calls used by Willich in Germany, so they called us the Horn Brigade. The 89th 111. was" organized in Chicago, 111., from men of tlip different roads center- ing in that city, hence iis coguomen Railroad Regiment. It was attached to the First Bri- gade, Third Division, Fourth Corps. Now, let all the surviving comrades who marched thiough Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia with tho 89th, "limber to the front" and raljy around our retrimental flag, with the locomotive on the blue silk field, and give an old-tim- e yell.

Yr This regiment was organized at Sackctt's Harbor, N. Y., during the months of August and September, 1864, for one and tbree years. It was mustered ont of service June . 2, 1865. A few men of the three years' service were transferred to the 79th N. Y. at time of mnster-on- t. On leaving tho State, Sept. 28, 1864, the regiment was assigned to the Second Brigade, Second Division, Ninth Corps. Bradley Winslow, the Colonel of the regiment, was brevetted Brigadier-Gener- al April 2, 1865. The Lieutenant-Colon- el was E. J. Marsh. The 186th participated in the battles of Hatcher's Run, Fort Sted man, aud in the Appomattox campaign. At Peters- burg, Vu., it lost 32 meu killed and a very large number in wounded. The total loss while iu the service was 48 killed and about the same number from disease and other causes. The 35th Wis. At Milwaukee, Wis., from November, 1863, to February, 1864, this regiment was re- cruited and organized under the superin- tendence of its future Colonel, Henry Orff, and was mustered to serve three years. At time of musier-ou- t Lient.-Co- l. G. H. Walther was in command. In June, 1864, the regiment was assigned to the First Bri- gade, Third Division, Nineteenth Corps. In November it was engaged in guarding the Memphis & Little Rock Railroad. Ou Dec. 12 it was transferred to the Reserve Corps, Military Division of West Mississippi, and remained in that organization until Feb. 7, 1865. On Feb. 22 the 35th became part of the First Brigade, Third DivisionThirteenth Corps. At Spanish Fort the loss sustained wai one killed aud six wounded. On March 1, I860, the regiment was mustered our. The greater part of the deaths of this regi- ment were from disease; 274 died from that cause, while only two were killed in action. Tlio 42d Wis. Under the superintendence of Col. Ezra T. Sprague, thisyegiment was organized at Madison, Wis., in September, 1864, to serve one year. Immediately after completing organization it started for the front, arriv- ing at Cario Sept. 22, where it was assigned to garrison duty. Here Col. Sprague was given command of the post, and Lieut.-Co- l. Botkin had charge of the regiment. In June, 1865, Col. Sprague washrevetted Brig-dicr-Gent-r- al. The regiment was engaged in picket, guard, and provost duiy until its muster-ou- t, Jnne 20, 1865. Fifty-eig- ht men died in the service. The 1st Iowa Battory. In August, 1861, this battery was or- ganized at Burlington, Iowa, by C. H. Fletcher, who was commissioned Captain, and commanded the organization until he resigned, Jan. 4, 1862. The term of enlist- ment was three years. On the expiration of this time the original members, except vet erans, were mustered out, and the organiza tion, composed of veterans aud recruits, retained in the service until July 5, 1865, when it was mustered out with Capt, Win. II. Gay in command. The commanders of the battery were Capt. Charles H. Fletcher, Cant. Junius A. Jones, Capt. Hrnry H. Griffiths, aud Capt. Gay. The first important battle in which it was engaged was Pea Ridge, where it suffered quite severely. Among the other battles in which it took part were Chickasaw Bayou, Arkausas Post, Port Gibson, siege of Vicks- burg, Chattanooga, Resaca, Dallas, Kenesaw Mountain, Peach Tree Creek, Atlanta, and Jonesboro. Ten men were killed in battle or died of wounds received therein, and over 50 died of disease and other causes. The 4th Iowa Battery. This battery was recruited by Capt. Philip H. Goode,and was mustered into the service at Davenport, Iowa, Nov. 23, 1863, to serve threeyears. It was mustered out July 14,1865. The Lieutenants of the battery were James H.Beatty, Francis W. McClelien, Jos. Brown, John H. Alexander, and Francis M. Ells- worth. The battery did duty in the West until the early part of 1864, when it was ordered to New Orleans. When Banks went on the Red River expedition it was left as part of the 'guard at New Orleans. Five men died in the service. Tho 27th 111. This regiment was organized with only seven companies, at Camp Butler. 111., on Aug. 10, 1861, and ordered into camp at Jacksonville, as part of Gen. McClernand's Brigade. On Sept. 1 it was ordered to Cairo, where it was joined by three more companies. It received its baptism of fire at Belmont, Mo., on Nov. 7, 1861, and after- wards took part in many battles, among which may be mentioned Island No. 10, Union City, Tenn.; Lavergne, Tenn.; Mur-freesbo- ro, Teuu.; Chickamauga, Mission Ridge, Resaca, Muddy Creek, Kenesaw Mountain, Peach Tree Creek, and Atlanta. Tho regiment was relieved from duty on Aug. 25, 1864, and ordered back to Spring- field, where it was mustered out. It served three years and three months, aud during that time its losses were: Killed or died of wounds, 102; died of disease, 80; wounded, 328; discharged for disability and resigna- tion, 209 ; transferred, 39. This record shows this regiment to have done good service while ou duty. Homes for Settlers. C. N. Maxwell, 17th Me., Mentone, Ala., says that Mentone is situated on the brow of Lookout Mountain, two miles from Val- ley Head, on the A. G. S. R. R. " This is be- coming quite a health resort, and we have about a dozen Northern families here. I now have a printed description of this sectiou which I will send to any who desire it aud will inclose a stamp." S. A. Allison, Halsey, Ore., wants to corre- spond with comrades living in healthy local- ities of Florida, as he desires a small place for a home in a warm climate. John C. Thompson, Co.

DESPERATE MEN.QuRutrcll ami His Band of Guerrillas in the

Southwest.

Editor National, Tribuxe: The fol-

lowing narrative I have every reason for

"believiue to be true. I received it from

men who during the war were well acquaint-ed with the individuals named. Lieut. Jen-tin- s

fills, at this writing, an important office

on the Sauta Fe Railroad, and is well knownas a man of great courage and resolution.Oliver Shaw, the other of my inlormanin,was caught in Texas by the rebellion, and,being an excellent gunsmith, was compelledto exercise his trade in the Contederateshops at Bonham.

Among the portents in the days of whichI write, none were more baleful or figuredmore largely in the Southwest than CharlesQnantrell, the guerrilla, or, as he was knownby the Confederates. Quantrell the partisan.

There is no doubt that Quantrell wascommissioned as a partisan officer, with therank of Major. As Mich, he was more orless under the direction of the officer inwhose jurisdiction he might be operating.

About the 1st of December, 18G4, he audhis band appeared at Sherman, Tex., a towunot far south of Red River, which hereforms the boundary between that State andthe Indian Territory. Among the skir-mishes which led to their retreat to Sher-man was one which ocenrred between Jen-kins's troop ol 2d Colo. Cav. aud a portionof these guerrillas.

The retreat of Quautrell was well knownto the military authorities, and measureswere promptly taken to intercept them.Two of the three parties into which theband was divided eluded the Union cavalry,but Lieut. Jenkins corraled the third iu abend of one of the riven of those regions.

The guerrillas were compelled to take tothe water, so hotly were they pursued,hoping to be able to mount the perpendicu-lar bank of the farther shore. The river,however, was nearly broaht deep, which,added to the hight of the bank, tendered itimpossible for them to ride out.

At this moment the Colorado men openedb. deadly fire upon them, killing and wound-ing men and horses. Finding themsvlvesio a trap, the guerrillas, sheltering them-selves behind their horses, returned the fireof the cavalry. The-e- , however, were be-

hind trees, logs, and stumps, and scon everyhorse fn the river was killed. Dtoperateover their situation, the rebels taunted thecavalry, daring them to come out and fightin the open. But Lieut. Jenkins kept hit-

men steady by telling thtm that ''onlybullets count now." That detachment, al-

most to a man, was cut off.Alter this the gang still numbered folly

300 mounted men. It is true, however, that,officially, 80 men whs bis full complement.His first officer wa-- t oue Todd, a tlini, tallman, who had been a druggist before thewar. A heavy-se- t fellow named WilliamAnderson, commonly called "Bill" Auder-so- n,

was his officer. He was brutalin appearance, and hi actions accorded withhis lookf. He had a Third Lieutenant inone Fletcher Taylur, called ''FleJch" by theothers. He had lost n areu in his Jast foray,and in demeanor was as clever and gentle-manly a little one-arm- ed man as'.'vercutathroat or pMtolcd a helpless prisoner.

In this campaign, too, had occurred theGen. Blunt inTray, in which a son of Maj.-Gv- n.

Curtis, of io;va, was killed. The affairwa? a complete surprise to both parties, be-

ing an accidental encounter at a crossroadsin the brush. Blunt'd men are said to haveacted shamefully, suffering a loss of 75 menkilled, chiefly after a surrender. It is diff-icult to get at the facte with reference to thispart of the tragedy. Thirty of the guerrillaswere killed, which would indicate a hotfiuhtw Young Curtis was as he wasclimbing out of the ambulance. A consider-able booty was secured by the gang, belong-ing to Geti. Biuut, a portion of which con-sisted of two fine upans of mules, with theirharness, and a oontlr ambulance, afterwardsold in Texas for $300 in gold. The Gen-eral's gold-mount- ed carbine and sword werealso reported among the trophies.

The dang of the guerrillas' sabers was dis-tinctly brard in Sherman while they wereyet b;f a mtle distant The citizens turnedont n raavse to welcome them as they ap-peared with banners flying and the pompand circumstance oi successful war. Theywere loudly cheered, and many affectionatedemonstrations manifested how near to thehearts of the people these men were.

They were dined and wined, after whichthey rode to a plantation some 20 miles fromSherman, belonging to a Dr. Potts, andwhich lay along the banks of Red River, notfar above the old town of Preston. Therewas not a day of their stay in this campwhen thtre were not more or less of them iuSherman.

Their presence abonl Sherman kept everything in a lively frame of mind. These cut-throats were full of pleasant turns and quipsin which revolvers played a distinguiuhedpart. There was scarcely an object notutilized as a target. Dogs, oats, ami pigswere killed wholesale. None were tufe un-less kept within doors by their owners.Store door knobs in particular attractedtheir attention ; bets were made as to thenumber of bullets it would take to knockone to pieces. Every knob around thetquare was demolished.

Strange as it may seem, this pistoladehurt no person save a Mrs. Martingly, whowas struck in the back by a bullet thatglanced Irom a door knob, and inflicted asliuht wound. She wan stooping over thestove cooking dinner at the time. In suchharmless pleasantries did these men whileaway their hours in Snermau.

The Confederate officer coramanditiK thispart of Texas was Gen. Henry K. McCul-louii- h.

His command was known as theSuli-Disiri- ct of Texas, with Headquarters atBonham, the capital of Fannin County. TheGen. McCullough killed at Pea Ridge washis brother.

It was this officer also"who In 1863 wasdefeated by the blacks at Milliken's Bendduring the siege of Vicksburg. The writerwell remembers the roar of artilleryand the rattle of musketry of that battle.That night through all the camps around

. the city a gem-ni- l order was read from Gen.J Grant announcing the victory of the blacks,

assisted by a handf nl of whites, over somethousands of Co nfr demies.

Gen. Henry E. McCullough was at thistime well up in years. He had all the ap-

pearand of a good-nature- d, thrifty, hospit-able old farmer rnd neighbor, which intruth he was. He had no military educa-tion. However, he was a good District Com-niaud- er,

and all his staff "were like him.While Quantrell was at Sherman. McCul-

lough received orders from Gen. E. KirbySmith to have Quantrell appear at Bonhamto be assigned to regular duty. Quautrell,however, failed to report. Alter two weeksof waiting, aud no Quantrell appearing, aspecial courier was dispatched with pcr-empt- oi

y orders to report forthwith. At thesame time, to stiffen the otdcrs, he sent adetachment of 300 infantry.

The infantry took the main road fromBonham Ao Sherman. While en routeQuantrell, accompanied bv 20 of his rough-ru- u

rs. made their appearanco at Gen. MeCtil-longh'sHeadquart-

they haviugcome downby Colbert's Ferry, a road nearer the riverthan the one upon which the iufautry weremarching.

The General's quarters were npBtairs inthe courthouse, which stands in the middleof the public square. Riding to the court-house, the guerrillas dismounted on Hiesouth Vide of the building. Quantrell wentup to the General's office at once. He wasordered under arrest, and his revolverstaken from him. The General laid themupnu a bed in a room opening upon hisoffice. The guard about the office consistedof a couple of gray-txiunt- ed conscripts,

tarmed "with Belgian uiuekets.

Bill Anderson".When Ibis was done it was dinner time,

and the General, with true Southern court-esy, invited the guerrilla to dinner. Theinvitation was declined with thanks.

No sooner had MeCullouuh and staff dis-

appeared in the direction of the dining-ha- ll

than Quautrell sprang through the door ofthe bedroom, seized his revolvers, disarmedhis guard", and, runniug down the stairway,shouted to his men:

" Mount your horses! I'm arrested 1"Mounting, they galloped swiftly away,

disappearing up the road bj-- which theycame. E'ght miles from Bonham oue oftheir hor.-e- s showed signs of giving out.Meeting a man well mounted, they haltedhim, exchanged horses, and continued on tocamp.

The next day the infantry reached theircamp, only to find the guertillas on the op-

posite bank of the river in the Indian Terri-tory aud outside their jurisdiction.

The officer commanding the troops andQuautrell parleyed across the river, whichis here very narrow. Quantrell informedthe officer that he did not wibh to fight-Texa-s

troop", but that he would not be ;ir-rest- ed.

As the result of the conference,Quantrell agreed to leave Texas for good ifhe should be letaloue. In a few days he setout lor Missouri.

It is just to say that at this time the bandwas falling to pieces. Bill Andercon and20 men had left the original gang and goneto B&nhatn. The occasion of this wasFletcher Taylor, who had been accused ofmurderinj and robbing a rich old plantertip on Red River Maj. Butts. For thiscrime he was tried by a court-marti- al con-vened by Quantrell, found guilty, and con-demned to be executed.

Hh guard designedly gave him an opportu-nity to ehcape, which he improved promptly.Toward morning he rode up to a cabin somelhre miles east of Sherman, and requestedto be allowed to stay the remainder of theaitthL The old man, owner of the cabin,r.'JUiul to open the door, for the guerrillashvi made the times too squally to run any??"V But when he learned the name of thefi.gtie he toul him there was a ladder out-bi- de

at the end of the cabin leading to theloft. He was welcome to go up there andsleep tvjih the boys, and his old womanwould feed him iu the morning. Not longafter this he joined Anderson at Bonham.These men all accompauied the infantrytent to arrest Quantrell, but they took nopart at the time either way.

Bid Anderson was subsequently killed onthe banks f the Missouri, above Booneville.His wife vita a Miss Bush Smith. It wasreported that she received at the hands ofthe band, who returned from the Priceraid, $1,500 in gold and greenbacks, to-

gether with some silks, which were allpacked in a pair of pants and strappedbehind the eaddle. The v idow publishedin a Texas pper, the McKinncy Messenger,issued by a Quaker throughout the entirewar, a parody on "John Anderon, my JoJohn, which she changed to "Bill Andtrson,my Boy Bill."

As for Fletcher Taylor, when peace wasrestored he returned home with his emptysleeve. Subsequenty he married a veryestimable youug woman, the adopted daugh-ter of Mr. S. Noel, of Nashville, Tenn. Theband went to pieces in Kentucky. EdwardB. Heatok, of Gen. Frank Wheaton'sHeadquarters, Afion, Iowa.

KENESAW.IVhat tlio Third IJrladc, Second Division,

Fourteenth Corps, Did on tho JiventfulJune 27.Editor National Tribune: On the

night of June 25, 1SG1, the Second Division,Fourteenth Corps, was taken from the linenear Little Koueniw Mountain and movedabout, four miles to tho right, where we layin camp. On Sunday, tho 2Gth, we brokecamp early the morning of the

27th of June.The Third Bngsde formed in mass, and it

was competed v- - the 125th, 85th and 86th111..22U IntL and the 52d Onio. We formedsome dibtai.ee iu the rear of the line held bythe First Division. The Second Brigade wason our rigbL

At the agreed sgnal we crossed our frontline of works, a small branch and a wheat-fiel- d.

Th rebel front line was soon taken.It was just at the edge of the timber. Herothe 52d w ordered to lie down for a mo-

ment. In i few moments we went on andsoon found ourselves at the top of the hillhugging nK'thor earth in company with allwho were left alive on that hill. The rebelworks were built just over the hill ; so thatwhen we lay down we could see the sky un-der a thin head-lo- g, and woe be to anyJohnny who dared darken that space adozen guns would crack.

We fcoon h.vi ourselves protected by worksthrown up i. j tin cup, plates, or anythingthat would move dirt. These works werebuilt just 27 steps from the rebel works.

On the day .'ollowing there was an armistice to give Ume to bury the dead. Thatnight we started a new line just 12 stepsfrom outside to outs'de from the rebel works,notwithstanding they kept turpentiue ballsburning all night long. We also started atunnel under their works, and had it nearlycompleted o.. the night they left.

When at Marietta, Ga., two years ago, acitizen told the writer that those works arejust as plain aad well defined as thoy were

when we left them, and ho said it always hasbeen a mystery to him how one line-of-batt- le

could get so close to auother as we did andlive. But the works are there to-da- y, fourmiles from Marietta, Ga., to speak for them-selves, notwithstanding Gens. Sherman's andJoseph E. Johnston's articles in the Centuryto the contrary. I. M. GRAY, Co. E, 52dOhio, Ha en, Kan.

HAD TWO DAYS' START.Clever Ruse of an Indiana .Boy to Get out

of Andersonville.Editor National Tribune: It was

during the month of August, 1864, thatthe writer was engaged, uuder a parole ofhouor, as a grave digger in the now historiccemetery near Andersonville prison. Whilethere one of the prisoners, belouging to auIndiana regiment, made his escape underthe following remarkable circumstauces:Tho Indiana boy, as I will call him, inas-much as I know not his name, was one ofthe healthy ones confined at that time inthat Southern inferno, and was conse-quently requested to aid his hall-dea- d com-

rades, once a week, out of the stockade toattend a so-call- ed sick-ca- ll for medicaltreatment.

On being daus permitted to inhale apurer atmospheie, soon the desire for libertyinvaded his breast, and for days and nightshe studied upon a plan to escape.

On being out again, he was ordered bythe Surgeon to go to the brook near thecook-hou- se to get water for his sick com-rades. In going thither, he had to pass,on his left, the little shed, covered, arbor-lik- e,

with pine boughs, and known as thedead-hous- e. He noticed that the driver of

Lthe dead-wag- on wore our uniform, and uponinquiry found that the driver was one ofour own men.

Unobserved by tho Surgeon, ho passedaround tho renr end of the dead-wago- n,

and proposed to the driver that on his nextcoming out with sick men he would climbin through the rear end gate of the dead-wago- n,

alter the load was about completed,lay himself apparently dead upon his deadcompanions, be h"t!led to the cemetery, andthence make h:5 escape.

A few days later, on a sultry, rainy day,our Indiana boy was again outside, bring-ing water to his lesi.-1'ortun- ate comrades.Tiie dead-wag- on was again iu front of thedead-ar- b ir, this time a little closer up tothe shed tnan usual. Sixteen dead lay likeso many fence rails on top of each otherin the wagon bed, ready to be taken totheir final resting place. The Indiana boypassed, aud, on a signal from the driver,went to the end gate of the wagon andcrawled in, stretching himself out on top ofhis silent comrades, disregarding verminand mortification.

By some mishap the wagon was detainedabout 15 minutes, and it was during thattime that another one of our men. a hospi-tal attendant, passed in rear of the dead-wago- n,

and noticed that the dead man ontop had good shoes on his feet, an article ofclothing very much needed by the living, anduseless to anybody in the grave. He exam-ined them, found them perfect, and of theexact, number for a perfect fit. He beganto open the strings. The thoughts thatpassed through the mind of the sham deadIndiana boy can only be imagined shouldhe move he might be betrayed, should helose his shoes, he could not travel and escape.Thus he lay motionless until the unknownhand tried to pull them off, when he aroseand in a low, subterranean voice uttered:"St-ip- , d n you! I need those shoes my-self." Like a statue, motionless, strickenwith awe. stood the man who wanted thesho's; he thought the resurrection day hadcome, and in terror, as fast as his tremblinglimbs won d carry him, he fled from theconfines of the dt ad.

The wagon started and arrived at thecemetery. The Indiana boy and the driverrelated the story, shook hands, and with a44Kood-by"lh- c escaped man went into thethick underbrush at the northeast corner ofthe woods near the cemetery. .

Two days later the old reb with --his'bloodhounds came to the cemetery, and iu- -r

quired : "Did you'ns see a runaway Yankeethis week?" To which question a "'No, sir,"was given. In a few days the writer metthe old hound man, and d him :

"Well, did yon catch anybody the otherday?" To which he replied: "No! Hell it-s-e

f can't catch a Yankee, if he has 48 hours'start of the hounds." If the Indiaua manshould be alive and read the above I wishhe would write to me. J. L. Younkok,Corporal, Co. A, 12th U. S., Maxville, O.

A BRAVE MAN.Gen. NoUon Shown His Efficiency In tho

3'iice of Defeat.Editor National Tkibune: Mnchjias

been written aud published about Gen.Nelson. I want to give the ijfeneral creditfor being a brave man, and one-- who wantedevery officer aud enlisted man to do his.duty.

Those who were in the 'Regular serviceknow well that it was very necessary tohave strict discipline, aud that in the volun-teer service the officers aud men were almostinvariably friends aud neighbors before thewar, entire companies coming from the samecity, town or township, and when they wereafterward astociated in military life withthe Regular Army they noticed that theofficers of legimcuts of Regulars did not as-

sociate with the men. There were two verygood reasons for this. Oue was that the en-

listed men were strangers, coming frommany different towns and States. Then, theofficers had been educated to treat the en-

listed men as mere machines.I have no personal knowledge of Gen.

Nelson, except during the month of August,1862. When at Richmond, Ky., 10 rawregiments of infautry were sent forwardfrom Lexington to guard the country nearRichmond, with positive instructions to fallback 10 miles to the Keutucky River, shouldthe enemy appear in great force.

Bufe through some misunderstanding orblunder these orders were not obeyed, andan engagement was brought on, which re-

sulted very disastrously to the Uniontroops.

Gen. Nelson, hearing the sound of heavycannonading early in the morning of Aug.3i), mounted his horse without waiting toput on military clothing, and rode with hisstaff officers to the scene of action, 30 milesaway from Lexington, for the battle beganseven miles southeast from Richmond.

When the General met our command, itwas in full retreat before a force of theenemy twice the number of ours. He wasangered at the disobedience of orders, butbegan at ouce to get brigades and regimentsiu line for effective delense. Ho partiallysucceeded, but it was utterly impossible tomake a stand against the superior force ofthe enemy, and also an impossibility to getaway from our foes; we were flanked, andabout to be surrounded.

After fighting and retreating until sunset,tho General and bin staff left, aud madetheir way back to Lexington, and the ma-jority of the troop9 were taken prisoners.

Gen. Nelson manifested good judgment,came onto the field, brought order out ofdisorder, aud remained with the commandmaking a desperate stand against great odds,'and then, when a choice must be made be-

tween being taken prisoner or riding throughthe rebel lines to escape, chose the. latterand returned to Lexington, thence to Louis-ville, with tho troops not engaged, joinedby those who were.

Ambitious officers had their friends, andthose who were termed military despotswere not popular; yet those very strict dis-ciplinarians were in fact the best real friendsto the men. Where there was strict disci-pline was noticed better health and goodservioe. H. Wabben Phelps, 95th Ohio,Westerville, O.

''I was on the road to Winches-ter," says Webster, "about six miles beyondMiddletowu, when I met Sheridan on hisride to the front. The littlo Orderly washis sole company. In about a half hour Imet his staff. They pulled up and askedme if I had met the General, and how faroff he was, and I gave the informationasked. Wbo was the little Orderly?

Minty stated that he hadcalled the attention of several officers of hisregiment who claimed to have been theguard of the rebel President, and wouldfurther show the falsity of my article, I havewaited for him to do so.

"I wish to state to the comrades that inno respect have I intended to impose uponthem, but simply to relate what my com-pany did and where they were whilo JeffDavis was conveyed to Fort Monroe.

THE RAILROAD REGIMENT- -

Something About the 80th 111. and ItsFight for the Union.

Editor National Triuunk : It seemsas if a regiment that participated in 23 en-

gagements, marched 2,253 miles, and rode1,127 miles by rail from the time of leavingLouisville Aug. 20, 18G2, until return thereand muster-ou- t June 10, 1865, deserves somemention in your columns.

The regiment first did business in theline of fighting at Lawrenceburg Oct. 7,18G2, afterwards at Perry ville, Stone River,Liberty Gap, Chickamauga, Orchard Knob,Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge, Dan-- d

ridge, Rocky Face, Resaca, New HopeChurch, Dallas, Kenesaw, Peachtree Creek,Atlanta, Jonesboro, Lovejoy Station, Colum-bia, Spring Ilill, Franklin, and Nashville.

The regiment had a total of 1,403 men,transferred 202 recruits to the 59th 111. Vet.Vols., mustered out 1581 of the rank aud file,leaving a record of 820 men killed, diedfrom wounds, or discharged on account ofdisability.

The last time I saw the regiment was atNew Hope Church (some call it Pickett'sMills), near Dallas, Ga., May 27, 18G4. TheThird Division, Fourth Corps, under Gen.Wood, was ordered to flank to the extremeleft, but before we got there we ran againsta snag in the shape of Gen. Pat Cleburnesupported by Gen. Hurst, and another divis-ion (the General's name I do not remem-ber). I need not ask any of our division(the Third) if they remember tho hand-to-han- d

work we had there.There is an old saying that " bloocTwill

tell," aud I think it told there, as I havebeen informed that tho Third Division lostnearly 1,700 men that night. I know the89th was terribly cut to pieces; that my oldcompany (A) went into that engagementwith 45 men, and that her record shows therewere 11 at next moraine's roll-cal- l. I knowthat I received two hard wounds in lessthan as many minutes, aud that in themorning I was beating Gen. Sherman andhis entire army into Atlanta, on my way toAndersonville and oilier --pjeasaut resorts,where I remained " coliugvcoffee " (in mydreams) a long year.

I found after my cant tire that the John-nies were well acquainted with us, from thecorps down to every regiment in it, andthat all knew Gen, Willich's Horn Brigade,aud his children Tip Johnnies couldn'tcatch on to our bugle, calls, which, you allremember, were the German calls used byWillich in Germany, so they called us theHorn Brigade.

The 89th 111. was" organized in Chicago,111., from men of tlip different roads center-ing in that city, hence iis coguomen RailroadRegiment. It was attached to the First Bri-gade, Third Division, Fourth Corps.

Now, let all the surviving comrades whomarched thiough Kentucky, Tennessee, andGeorgia with tho 89th, "limber to thefront" and raljy around our retrimental flag,with the locomotive on the blue silk field,and give an old-tim- e yell. "Clear thetrack,"for we were " dar suah's yer born." H. G.FISH, Co. A, 89th 111.
