To the PuMjCs JjELIE VING it to boa duty I owe to myself, &jE) in relation to a misunderstanding which took place between Uapt. Charles J. Malone, of the Washington Cavalry, and myself, relative to accusations said to have been made by me, derogatory to the character of that gentleman, his officers and command, as soldiers, during the late Florida Campaign, and the manner in which the same was settled by us, has induced mo to make this publication, in order that the public may judge of my conduct. As k now stands, the public have before them hut one side of this difficulty, or the causes which led to it ; therefore I shall proceed to give the following statements, which are facts. When the Cavalry from Jef ferson county, was ordered to Florida, I went in that Company as second Lieutenant, and it was commanded by Capt. John M, Do (/glass, under whoso-command it continued until it was mus tered into the United Slates service, at or near Picolata. In n few days after being mustered in to service, we hold an Election for Major, to com mand the battalion or squadron of Horse, which was then formed, composed of three companies, to wit: one from Hancock, one from Washing- i ton, under the command of ( ’apt. Malone, and i tlio company from Jefferson. Capt. John M. Douglass, was elected Major, without oppposilion; \ and the night afterward I was elected Captain of the Jefferson Cavalry, to fill the vacancy occa- ] stoned by the promotion of Capt. D. in which capacity I acted through the campaign* Not < long after the election,the squadron was ordered I to Black Creek, where it remained several days, < and from there it moved, by order of Gen. Scott, with another Cavalry company, which joined us I at Black Creek, under the command of Captain 1 Nelson, from Chorokee comity. This company < did not belong to thesquadron, not having enter- ; cd the service when vve did, or having taken any j part in the election for Major; consequently it I acted as an independent company. The squad- I ron together with Capt. Nelson’s company, was < ordered to Tarver’s plantation, at the Lalchavvay t Prairie, some seventeen or eighteen miles distant from Fort Drane, there to wait until the prepara- i tions of the Army wore completed, for moving on 1 towards Tampa Bay. During our stay at 'Fur- i ver’s plantation, Major Cooper’s Battalion of 1 Georgia foot, arrived at Fort Drane, from Picolata, where we had left it when wo were, ordered to Black Creek. Every thing being now in readi ness for the army to move, the squadron was or dered from Tarver’s to Fort Drane. We with the army now took up tiro line of march for Tampa Bay. We crossed, the Wilh laeooehee River, at the place where Gen. Gaines had endeavored to cross, when ho was surround ed by the Indians. Some ten or twelve miles, perhaps more, on the other side of the Within coochce, Major Cooper Was ordered to luilt his Battalion, and build a Fort, which he according ly did. Here his Battalion was left with some .seventeen or eighteen days short rations of pro visions, to wait the return of tho army from Tampa Bay, where it became absolutely necessa ry for the army to march immediately, and with out delay, in order to procure a supply of provi sions, for which place wo continued the line of march. After several fatiguing days march, wc arrived at Tampa Bay, where vve procured pro visions for the anny, and forage .for our horses. Here wo remained several days, anil discharged such of tho squadron, from tho different compa nies, as were unable to return, on account of sickness or ill health: from the Jefferson Cavalry I discharged six men, who were not able to un dergo the fatigue of returning by land with the army. Major.Dougla-s also received a discharge, and left us to return home, on of sick ness. Tho command of the squadron now de volved upon Capt. Malone, he being Hie oldest Captain in command, a* to commission. Capt. Malone continued to command the squadron, on our return, and was obeyed accordingly—his se cond Lieutenant, Mr. Thomas Mcßride, acting as his Adjutant, and issuing his orders to tho dif ferent companies; Major Douglass’ Adjutant ha ving also left us, at Tampa Bay, and returned homo. Wo now took up the line of march, for Fort Cooper, returning by the same route* that we went down. The Squadron was attached to , lire right wing of the army, under the command of Gen. Clinch. The night previous to our ar rival at Fort Cooper, wo encamped at an old In dian Town, between three and four miles distant from the Fort. Here it was determined by Gen. Clinch that the army should halt, and send up to Fort Cooper a detachment of Cavalry, composed of two companies, to vvii, the Washington and Jefferson Cavalry, to act as an escort or guard to • >mc three or four empty baggage wagons, . were to bring off Major Cooper’s baggage. We also had a Regular Soldier, taking up a team of horses to bring off a six pounder, which had been left at tho Fort. I gave the order to my men to prepare, and at the same time, I told to all of those that felt unwell—there being several of my • men sick, some very sick—that they might re main at tho camp, as it woqjd give them an op portunity of o day’s rest, which they very much I stood in need of. I also permitted those of my company, who- e hdrscs were very much jaded, to , remain ; not apprehending much d inger, on ac ■ count of the short distance we had to go to the i Fort. When my men paraded, we had, I think, twenty-one officers and men, myself included. This small company left the camp, under the command of the second Lieutenant of rny com pany, (David Caver, who had been elected to (ill she vacancy occasioned by my being promd . ted to the command of Captain,) and 1 remained at the camp for some time after the two compa nies bail left, and did not see (hern start, or in what order they left the ramp. However, after they had been gone sometime, and perhaps had got to the distance of near a mile from the main army, I started out to overtake them, hut did not join them until I came up to a pmid, where the men had been watering their horses. This, I should say, was a mile and a half, or perhaps more. It was here I found in what order the two compa . riies wore marching; the baggage wagons had the main road, in the centre, and to the right, in a trail one hundred yards from the main road, marched Capt. Malone’s company, in single file, in a line parallel with the baggage wagons ; ami about one hundred yards to the left marched my I- company, in single file, in a line also parallel to • the baggage train; which threw Captain Ma . lone’s company and mine two hundred yards a -5 part. A Hanker was detailed from the right as well as the left of Capt. Malone’s company, at . what distance lam unable to say. These flank- I cr’s were for the purpose of preventing his line • being surprised ; Lieut. Caven had also taken the , precaution to station out flankers to my company. Somewhere near the rear of Malone’s company, us I left the pond where I watered my horse, (the pond lying on Malone’s right,) I fell in company . With Lieut. Mcßride of that company. If it > was not at the rear of Malone’s company, where I met Mcßride, it must have linen near it, in the I rear of my own, (ho precise place I do not now j recollect; suffice it to say, that wc got together, and rode up to (ho head of my company, where I found Lieut. Caven, (lie being the highest com missioned olllcer with us that day—the first Lieu tenant, A. W. Turner, had remained at camp to wait on his brother, Mr. James K. Turner* who was very sick.) When I readied the head of my cohipany, I look the command, and Lieut. Caven acted as first Lieutenant. Mcßride and I were conveising together about the probability of being attacked, on tho route, as fresh signs of the Indians hud been discovered, before I overtook the companies. I asked Mcßride, if 1 recollect right, what he would do, in case wo should he at tacked ; where would he fight, would he remain with me, or would ho go over to his own compa ny, which was two hundred yards from us, to the right ? He answered that it would depend upon where the attack was made; that if my line was attacked he would certainly fire one round at them, before he left it. Wc were at this very time passing a hammock, on our right, which could not he seen from my line, on account of some bushes that grew between us and the ham mock ; and at that very time 1 beard the report of a rifle, which from the crack I knew to bo an In dian rifle, and differed very materially from the reports of our yagers. 1 had scarce time to say “what’s that?” and Mcßride had not had time to reply to my question, when I heard a volley of some twelve or fourteen rifles, and then a rattling fire from some thirty or forty, all of which I knew to be the Indians guns. Without any or der from Capt. Malone, to bring up my company to his assistance, I ordered my company to file to the right, and charge at tho same. I called to tho officers to keep the men closed up, and charged to the front of the wagons, intending to pass them next to Fort Cooper, and go forward to the assistance of Capt. Malone; which movement would bring me on Malone’s left, which was my proper place, as I very well know. My company was passing tho wagons in front, when I saw one of Capt. Malone’s men, whose name I be lieve is Kelly, come across the road, in the roar of the wagons, at the top of his horse’s speed. Whether ho was urging his horse, or his horse had taken fright with him, and had thus carried him off, I did not take time to ascertain, but charged across the road, which was one hundred yards from my former position, passed down u a short distance and ordered the men to form the lino, by dbming up on the left of each other, as they were then in single file ; this throw (hem out on tho left, fronting tho hammock, and facing the enemy. The cause of my hailing was this: I found ( ’apt. Malone’s company had been thrown into confusion, and were retreating or filling back before the fire from the Indians, making little or no resistance ; I saw but three of his men who had retained their position where the Indians fired upon them—these three men were tho two Mr. Mnyr’s, brothers, and a Mr. Rowland. The j,wo Mr. Moyc’s, If I mistake not, were on horse back, and Rowland on foot, having dismounted. As I rode up, I saw one df tho Moye’s level his gun, and it flashed ; Rowland seemed to he in the* act of loading his rifle, having as I supposed dis charged it. These three men were between where I halted my company and the Indians. I called out to Rowland to clear the way, or he would he killed by my men. Whether he heard me or not I know not, but he quickly changed his position, moving off towards the right, and the front of Capt. Malone’s company—tho two Moye’s at the same time changed their position, and I fired my rifle, giving, at the time, tho'word to my men to fire, which Was promptly obeyed, by the whole company; and we continued firing until Capt. Malone rode up, and ordered us to cease firing, dismount, and make a breastwork of our horses. I ordered my men to take a position in the rear of the wagons, which wore driven up close to gether, (the Regufar. Soldier, with his team of horses, which he had charge of, for the purpose of bringing away tho six pounder, had runaway and left us, when the fight begun.) I gave this order that wo might have the advantage of the wagons, which would he a protection for both men and horses. We had hut just began to form hero, when Capt. Malone ordered us to form in front of the. wagons. To this I objected, hut he said such was his orders, perhaps from Gen. Clinch, ami I obeyed, brought rny company out and form ed in front of the baggage wagons, with the whole length of my line of horses broadside to the hammock and within gun shot of tho same; this fretted rnp somewhat, to see the whole'of my horses thffs Sposed ; but fortunately for us the Indians did not attack us. Capt. Malone hud sent Lieut. Mcßride back to the camp, to inform Gen. Clinch of tho attack, and vve remained on the ground until a detachment of foot was sent to ns, under the command of Col, Bankhead. We then proceeded on to the Fort, without further molestation from the Indians, brought off Major Cooper’s Battalion, and relumed to tho army. Next day wc took up the line of inarch across the country to our right, for what was termed the main Tampa Bay road, which when we struck, we continued until we arrived at Fort King, and from there marched to Fort Drane, on the day fol lowing, where wc were discharged ; and then we returned home. This, so far as my memory serves me, is a statement of facts, as they really occurred, and which statement I made to my fellow citizens ol Jefferson county, at a Dinner that they had the kindness to give to the Jefferson Cavalry, on their return from Florida; and what induced me to give any statement whatever of the fight with the Indians, on the day wc were escorting the wagons to Fort Cooper, was, that upon the arrival of Capt, Malone in Washington county, he gave Ijis fellow citizens a statement of the same, and made no mention of my company, excepting his being ordered to lake my company and his own, and go to the Fori, and bring off Major Cooper’s Battalion ; he stated that his line was attacked and thrown into momentary confusion, hut soon returned the fire of the Indians, and that the In dians retreated before the lire of his men. Now Capt. Malone lias admitted to me that he thought my men fired more guns than his. Well, if 1 fired more or even as many guns as Malone, I should think the Indians retreated before the fire of my men as well as Malone’s; and though he had m arly two men to my one, in his company, lie said not a won! about us, or the part wc acted in that engagement, which I thought lie should have done, as lie commanded as Major, and was recognised by me and my command as such. The statement respecting the attack upon his line, which I refer to, ('apt. Malone published, or caused to Ikj published, in the Recorder of tho 17th May last, if I mistake not. Now it was in order that my fid low citizens of Jefferson, should be informed of what wc were doing, the day tho Indians were firing upon Malone’s men, that in duced mo to say any thing whatever, relative to the fight. It is true Oapt. Malone had two men wounded that day, and I was fortunate r nough not to have any of rny men wounded ; but had two horses shot, which were those-of Mr. Thomas Foley, and Mr. Nichols; both injured slightly. This is the statement of that transac tion which was made in public by me ; and in no way have I fever diflered from it. It is the same that I made in Louisville, at the Dinner which I before mentioned; and this statement is correct, to the best of my recollection. It seems that report* had reached Capt. Ma lone, that I had publicly called him a coward, and his officers and men all cowards; and that they behaved cowardly, during (lie Florida campaign - r which with other reports, occasioned Capt. Malone , to publish “A Card,” calling upon the public to J suspend their opinion, until lie could procure the - proper evidence from Gen. Clinch and others, to - prove the charges false and slanderous. Not j long after this publication, I received a letter from > Capt. Malone, culling on mo to state whether I f had called him ft coward, and his olliccrs and men . all cowards, and had accused them of acting eow [ ardly, during the Florida Campaign. To this 1 f replied, that I had not made any such charges, and j that they were fabrications of some men pretend ing to be bis friends; but that I had given a state t meat of facts as they really did exist, such ns I • have given above. Not long after this, I received i another letter from Capt. Malone, requesting that ■ I would give him a certificate, staling that I had ■ never made such charges or accusations against i him, and that his men all acted bravely through the campaign. This I resolved not to do, as I , very well knew that I had never knowingly or wilfully injured or attempted to injure Capt. Ma lone, or his company, either as gentlemen, or as soldiers; and "that my remarks at our dinner were not intended for that purpose, but because he hud failed tojinform our citizens, in his publication* of what wo wore doing that day, I thought i had a right to do so, which I accordingly did, as above related ; and I declined giving the certificate, on this ground, also, as I bad never published any thing whatever in relation to it. A short tinie after this, on my way to Marion county, where 1 was then going on a visit, it being but a short distance out of my way to call by Sandcrsville, I resolved to do so, and have an interview with Capt. Ma lone, and settle this difiiculty. Accordingly, when I arrived at Mr. Harman’s Tavern, I re quested Mr. 11. if he saw Malone, to invite him to see me, which he did, and Capt. Malone came over to tho Tavern. I was up stairs asleep, and Mr. Harman came up and woke mo, informing f me (hat Cap!. Malone was below, in Mr. Daw son’s room. I went down stairs, where I found Malone, and tho usual salututions of friendship ‘ passed botweep us; no one being then in the 1 room but himself, Mr. Harman, ana I. Capt, « Malone at length observed, that he supposed the object of ibis interview was to settle our difficul ty. I told him that it was. Ho then asked me 1 how I proposed to settle it ’! I told him it was immaterial with me how it was done. Ho asked me if I was for settling it in a friendly way ? I told him I had no objections. He then proposed < calling in some persons to hear (he conversation ; I and I told him ho was at liberty to summon his « village, if ho liked. That, he said, was unneces- ' sary. Mr. Harman was requested to invite sev- t oral gentlemen in, to hear tho conversation. I 11 was not acquainted with all the gentlemen that I gave their attendance, though \ knew one or two, perhaps more of them. They were the same, I believe, whoso names I see attached to a certifi cate, respecting tho manner in which we settled this misunderstanding. Wo diflered very little, that is Capt. Malone and myself. Hi?, ntliepre sonce of those men, askod me whether I had cull ed him a coward, his men cowards, and the other ■ charges which jl have before mentioned I I told him 1 had not, and what hod been bunded to him as such, was nothing more than the con struction |iut upon my remarks : when In nudity I hud done nothing more Ihun relute a simple statement of the (acts, as they occurred the day i we wont to Cooper’s Fort; and I then informed him what was tho cause of my making any re- . murk in relation to the occurrences of that day ; that it was in consequence of his failing or ne glecting to do it, and I deemed it a duly I owed ' my command, to inform their friends what part ■ they hud acted on that day ; and that I claimed t for myself tho same right to give a statement of I that day’s transactions, as ho or any body else i had. This much I have thought it to he my du ty to say, regarding this matter, that tho public may see whether 1 was or have been to blame. They will see that I was drawn, unintentional y on my part, into it. Here I hope that it will end; never wishing again to ho called upon to correct the misconstructions,of others, or to justify my self amidst them. • JOHN CAMPBELL, of Louisville, Captain of the Jefferson Hussars.
