Marching Over the Bodies of Dead and Dying Men for an Entire Day— Brage’s Mistake. The battle of Perryville had been into Middle Tennessee. We met the enemy again at Murfreesboro and moved back to Shelbyville, and for a long time camped there, writes R., in the Williamson County (Tent) Appeal. During the whole time tle Tennesseeans were in high glee. They were near and eround their homes. But it seemed that the fates were against them. Kentucky had been given up; now Tennessee had to be abandoned. To leave home in the hands of friends and goto battle was hard indeed, but now we knew our homes were fast falling into the hands of our ene- mies. The confederate cause now seemed to us gone. The last vestige of hope was fast fading away—espe- cially to Tennesseeans. We were falling back from our native land. What else had we to fight for? We were fast marching to fields unknown tous. The shadow of uncertainty aad final defeat seem pictured on every countenance. We were fast traveling from the height of expecta- tion into the depth of despair, as we thought. Our ranks were fast thinning, without hope of recruiting. The truest hearts were giving away. The bravest were waxing faint. Hopes were sickening, energy dying. But on we went, leaving all behind us. The broad Tennessee river soon spread out before us, pontons were stretched across, over we went, and the river became the dividing line— a large army and a broad river be- tween us and home. We soon began to fortify Chatta- nooga. Picks, axes and spades were the principal weapons of warfare: Day after day regiments would march out and work under the di- rection of sergeants and corporals,as The federals were ad- vancing, but had not approached near enough to cause any uneasiness.

In coming down this valley they were in a net, and our army, in full glee, was following hard after them. Night closed the day's work. If Joshua could have then checked the setting sun one our longer, their whole army would have been in the hands of the confederates.

C., Jan. 15.—Mr. Walker Blain, examiner of ciaims of the state department and eldest son of Secretary Blaine, died at the fam- ily resideuce—the old Seward man- sion fronting Lafayette—at 8:20 o'clock this evening of acute pneu- wonia, superinduced by an attack of lugrippe. He had been ill only a few days and his death is a severe shock to an unusually large circle of friends, who were not aware that he was dangerously i!l until this morning, while the family, who were all greatly deveted to him, are pros- trated with grief. Mr. Blaine was not feeling well all last week, but went to the depart- ment each day until Friday, when he became much worse and was com- pelled to go home and take to his bed. He made light of his illness and thought his illness was only a matter of a few days.

Had it not been for this terri ble volley from Gen Smith's men just at the time it was there would not have been a man of the Ist Ten- nessee regiment left to tell the tale. | It relieved us of the dilemma we were in and gave the enemy such a shock that they never rallied again that day. We again turned and dis covered that they were falling back. This ended the fighting of that day, and was the beginning of the battle of the Chickamauga. The army slept in the line of battle that night, and the next day was the great day of the battle of Chicka- mauga. Two powerful armies were facing each other, and we all knew that the next day would prove a glorious victory or a defeat. We felt that we had secured a decided advantage in the evening before. We could hear the enemy all night long moving and taking position. Every thing on our side was life and ani- mation. A boldand careless look as they passed their jokes around the camp-fire bespeke the free and dar ing character of our men. They awoke on the next morning with the same merry joke as of the night be- fore, and it was plainly pictured on eyery face that the coming day would be a day of victory to them. Sunday morning, September 19, dawned on us as bright and beauti- ful as nature could make it. Every- thing bid for a great victory.

Thisis no im aginary picture, but a small part of the scenes thatthe battlefield pre- sented that night. All night long, that cold September uight, the groans and dying shrieks were heard through the darkness. The night was spent caring for the wounded— the dead took care of themselves. They were uever buried. For years afterwards the battle- ground of old Chickamauga shone like bright moonlight, even on th- some time chatting with his father’s guests and afterwards walked about the house. By this course he contracted an additional cold, which quickly settled on his lungs and de- veloped into acute pneumonia last night, and this morning his condi- tion was so alarming that all the im mediate relatives of the family were hastily summoned home by tele graph. He was delirious most of the day, with an exceedingly high temper- ature and painfully labored respira- For hours It was ahard, ough and tumble fight. At last move battle was over. The next day we took our position on Missionary ridge, and for two months looked over the Chattanooga at the enemy recruiting and rebuilding their bro- ken army. Why we did not follow up the battle next day no one will, I reckon, ever know. This is one instance that Gen. Bragg never re- treated, but, likeall others he fought, he never knew what he had done. He certainly did not know the spir- it of his troops, nor their courage. Not a man in the line but felt like going on was willing and begging togo on. Had Gen. Forest, of his character, been in command on that day, the federal army would have been captured, with hardly oue left to tell the tale. We had gained a great victory, but they had gained as much ss we. They had gained possession of Chat- tanooga, a good point fer them, but a great loss to us. by la grippe on Friday evening last.
