FULL PARTICULARS!!
Since our last issue we have Cbtained full
particulars of the most thrilling Railroad ad
venture that ever occurred on the American
Continent, as well as the mightiest and most
important in its results, if successful, that
has been conceived by the Lincoln Govern
ment since the commencement of this war.
Nothing on so grand a scale has been attempt
ed, and nothing within the range of possibil
ity could be conceived that would fall with
such a tremendous crushing force upon us,
concocted and dependant on the execution of
as the accomplishment of the planB which were
the one whose history we now proceed to
narrate.
Its reality—what teas actually done—excels
all the extravagant conceptions of the Arrow-
Smith hoax, which fiction created such a
profound sensation in Europe.
To make the matter more complete and in
telligible, we will take our readers over the
same histjry of the case which we related in
our last, the main features of which are cor
rect, but are lacking in details, which have
eince come to hand.
We will begin at the Dreakfast table of the
Big Shanty Hotel'at Camp McDonald, on the
W.4A.R.R, where several regiments of sol
diers are now encamped. The morning mail
and passenger train had left here at 4 A. M.
on last Saturday morning as usual, and had
stopped there for breakfast. The conductor,
Wm. A. Fuller, the engineer, J. Cain—both of
this city—and the paasengera were at the ta
ble, when some eight men, having uncoupled
the engine and three empty box cars next t>
it from the passenger and baggage cars, mount
ed the engine, pulled open the valve, put on
all steam, and left conductor, engineer, pas
sengers, spectators, and the soldiers in the
camp hard by, all lost in amazement and
dumfounded at the strange, startling and
daring act.
This undheard-of act wss doubtless under
taken at that place and time, upon the pre
sumption that pursuit could not be made by
an engine short of Kingston, some thirty miles
above or from this place; and that by cutting
down the t degraph wires t s they pioceeded,
the adventurers could calculate on at least
three or four hours the start of any pursuit it
was reasonable to expect. This was a legiti
mate conclusion, and but for the will, energy
and quick good judgment of Mr. Fuller and
Mr. Cain, and Mr. Anthony Murphy, the in
telligent nnd practical foreman of the wcod
department of the Stato Road shop, who f'ci-
dentally went on the train from this place
that morning, their calculations would have
worked out as originally contemplated, and
the results would have been obtained long ere
this reaches the eyes of oar readers—the most
terrible to us of any that we can conceive as
possible, and unequaled by anything attempt
ed or conceived since this war commenced.
Now for the chese!
These three determined men, without a mo
ment’s delay, put out after the flying
on foot, amid3t shouts of laughter by the
crowd, who, though lost in' amazement at the
unexpected and daring act, could not repress
their risibility at seeing three men start &f er
a train on foot, which taey had just wime38ed
depart at lightning speed. They put on all
their speed, and ran along the track for three
miles, ween they cams acriss cone track
raisers who had a small track car, which ib
shoved along by men soemployed on railroads,
on which to carry their tools This truck and
men were at onco ‘'impressed ” They took it
by turns of two at a time to run behind this
truck and push it along all up grades and
level portions of the roid, and let it drive at
will on all the down grades A little wsy
further up the fugitive adventurers had stop
ped, cut the telegraph wire3 and torn up the
track. He e tha pursuers were thrown ofi
pell mell, truck and men, upon the side ol
the road. Fortunately *■ nobody was hurt on
oar side.” The truck was soon placed on the
road again; enough hands were left to repair
the track, and with all the power of deter
mined will and muscle, they pushed on to
Etowah Staticn, some twenty miles above.
Here, most fortunately, Major Cooper’s old
coal engine, the “Yonah”—one of the first
engines on the State Road—was standing out,
fired up. This venerable locomotive was im
mediately turned upon her old track, and like
an old racer at the ta pof the drum, pricked
up her ears and made fine time to Kingston.
The fugitives, not expecting such early
pursuit, quietly took in wood and water at
Cass Station, and borrowed a schedule from
the tank tender upon the plausible plea that
they were runDiDg a pressed train, loaded
with powder for Beauregard. The attentive
and patriotic tank tender, Mr. Wm. Russell,
said he gave them his schedule, and would
have sent the shirt off his back to Beaure
gard, if it had been asked for. Here the ad
venturous fugitives inquired which end of
the switch they should go in on at Kingston.
When they arrived at Kingston, they stopped,
went to the Agent there, told the powder sto
ry, readily got the switch key, went on the
upper turn-out, and waited for the down
way freight train to pass. To all inquiiies
they replied with the same powder story.—
When tbo freight train had passed, they im
mediately proceeded on to the next station—
Adairsville—where they were to meet the
regular down freight train. At some point on
the way they had taken on some fifty cross
ties, and before reaching Adairsville, they
Btopped on a curve, tore up the rails, and
put seven cross-ties on the track—no doubt
intending to wreck this down freight train,
which would be along in a few minutes.—
They had out upon the engine a red hand
kerchief as a kind of flag or signal, which,
in Railroading, means another train is be
hind—thereby indicating to all that the reg
ular passenger train would be along present
ly. They stopped a moment at Adairsville,
and said Fuller, with the regular passenger
train was behind, and would wait at Kingston
for the freight train, and told the conductor
thereon to push ahead and meet him at ‘hat
point. They passed on to Calhoun, where they
met the down passenger train, due here at
4.20 P. M., and without making any stop,
they proceeded—on, on, and on.
7sin- I to where the rails were torn up, they stopped, j noaga, before Sunday nigtt. Yesterday they | through our country unimpeded. It is non- j Atlanta Pos*-Office Regulations.
- - would have been in Knoxville, and thus bad j sense: it is folly, to deprive cur own people ; ARR jvaL AND CLOSING OF MAILS, a,
tore up rails behind them, and laid them down
before, till they had passed over that obsta
cle. When the cross ties were reached, they
hauled to and threw them off, and thus pro
ceeded, and under these difficulties gained on
tbe frightened fugitives. At Dalton they
halted a moment. Fuller put eff the tele
graph operator, with instructions to telegraph
to Chattanooga to have them stopped, in case
he should fail to overhaul them.
Fuller pressed on in hot chase — sometimes
in sight—as much to prevent their catling
the wires before the message could be sent,
as to catch them. The daring adventurers
stopped just opposite and very near to where
Col. Glenn’s regiment is encamped, and cut
the wires, but the operator at Dalton had put
the message through about two minutes before —
They also again tore up the track, cut down
a telegraph pole, aud placed ihe two ends of
it under the cross ties, and the middle over
tbe rail on the track. The pursuers stopped
again and got over this impediment, in the
same manner they did before—taking up rails
behind and laying them down before. Once
over this, they shot on, and passed through
the great tunnel, at Tunnel Ilill, being there
only five minutes behind. The fugitives still
finding themselves closely pursued, uncoupled
two of the box cars from the engine, to im
pede the progress of the pursuers. Fuller
hastily coupled them to the front of his en
gine, and pushed them ahead of him, to the
first turn-out or siding, where they were left
—thus preventing (he collision the adventu
rers intended
Thus, the engine thieves pissed RiuggolJ,
where they began to fag.They were out of wood,
water, and oil. Their rapid running and in
attention to the engine, bad melted all the
brass from tbe journals. They had no time
to repair or refit, for an iron-horse of more
bottom was close behind. Fuller and Mur
phy and their men soon came within 400
yards of them, when the fugitives jumped
from the engine and left it—three on the
north side and five on the South—all fleeing
precipitately and scattering through the
thicket. Fuller and his party also took to
the woods after them
Some gentlemen, also well armed, took ths
engine and some cars of the down passenger
train at Calhoun, and followed up Fuller and
Murphy and their party in the chase but a
short distance behind, and reached the place
of the stampede but a very few moments aftsr
the first pursuers did. A large number of men
were soon mounted, armed, and scouring the
entire country in search of them. Fortunate’y,
there was a militia mustir at Ringgold.
A great many countrymen were in town.—
Hearing of the chase, they put out on foot and
on horseback in every direction, in search of
the daring but now thoroughly frightened and
fugitive men
We learn that' Fuller, sodn after leaving his
engine, in passing a cabin in the country,
found a mule having on a bridle but no sad
die, and tied to the fence. ''Here'syour mult’
he shouted as ho leaped upon his ' aek and
put out as fast as a gcod swit h wv«i applied
could impart vigor to the muscles and accele
rate the speed of the patient donkey. The
cry of “Here’s your mule” and “ Where’s my
But we must return to Fuller and his party J mule” have become national, and^aregeneral-
whom we have unconsciously left on the old
“Yonah” making their way to Kingston.
Arrving there and learning the adventurers
were but twenty minutes ahead, they left the
“Yonah” to blow off, while they mounted the
engine erf the Rome Branch Road, which was
ready fired up and waiting for the rrrival of
the passengers nearly due, when it would
have proceeded to Rome. A large party of gen
tlemen yolunteered for the chase, some at Ac-
worth, Allatoona, Kington and othe points, tr-
king such arms as they could lay their hands
on at the moment; and with this fresh engine
they ret out with all speed but with great
“care and caution," as they had scarcely time
to make Adairsville before the down freight
train would leave that point. Sure enough,
they discovered this side of Adairsville three
rails torn up and other impediments in the
way. They “tuokup” in time to prevent an
accident, but could proceed with the train no
further. This was. most vexatious, and it may
have been in some degree disheartening, but
it did not causa tbe slightest relaxation of ef
forts, and as the result proved was but little
in the way of the dead yams, pluck and reso
lutions of Fuller and Murphy, who left the
engine and again put out on foot alone! After
running two miles they met the down freight
train, one mile out from Adairsville. They
mmediately reversed the train aud run back
wards to Adairsville—put the cars on the si
ding and pressed forward, making fine time to
Calhoun, where they met the regular down
passenger train. Here they halted a moment,
took on board a telegraph opera' ir, and a
number of men who again volunteered, taking
their guns along—and continued the chase.—
Mr. Fuller also took on here a company of
track hands to repair the track as they went
along. A short distance al >ve Calhoun they
flushed their game on a curve, where they
doubtless supposed themselves out of danger,
and were quietly oiling the engine, taking up
the track, Ac. Discovering that they were
pursued, they mounted and sped away, throw
ing oat upon the track as they went along the
heavy cross-ties they had prepared themselves
with. Tnis vre. 1 done by breaking out the end
of the hindmost box oar, and pitching them
out Thus, “nip and tuck,” they passed with
fearful speed Reiaca, Tilton, and on. through
Dalton.
The rails whieh they had taken up last they
took off with them—besides throwing out
cross-ties upon the trsck occasionally—hoping
thereby the more surely to impede the pur
suit ; but all this was like tow to the touch of
fire, to the now thoroughly aroused, excited
and eager pursuers. These cien, though so
much excited and influenced by so much de
termination, still retained their well-known
caution, were looking out for this danger and
discovered it, and thongh it was seemingly
am insuperable obstacle to their making ny
headway in pursuit, was quickly overcome by
the genius of Fuller and Murphy. Ccnuag
ly heard wheo, on the ona hand no mule is
about, and on the other when no none is hunt
ing a mule. It seems not to be understood by
any one, though it is a peculiar Confederate
phrase and is as popular as Dixie from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande. It remained for
Fuller, in the midst of this exciting chase, to
solve the mys erious meaning o> this national
by-word or phrase, and give it a practice’ ap
plication.
All of the eight men were captured, and are
now safely lodged in jail. The particulars of
their capture we have not received. This we
hope to obtain in time for a postscript to this,
or for our second edition. They confessed that
they belonged to Lincoln’s army, and had
been sent down from Shelbyville to burn the
bridges between here and Chattanooga; and
that the whole party consisted of nineteen
men, eleven of whom were dropped at seve
ral points on the road rs they came down, to
assist in the burning of the bridges es they
went back.
When the morning freight train which left
this city reached Big Shanty, Lieut.-Cols. R.
F. Maddox and C. P. Phillips took took the
engine and a few cars, with fifty picked men,
well armed, and followed on as rapidly as
possible. They passed oyer all difficulties,
and got as far as Calfcoup, where they learned
the fugitives had taken the woods, and were
pursued by plenty of men with the paeans to
catch them if it were possible.
One gentleman who' went upon tbe train
from Calhoun, who has furnished us with
many of these particulars, and who, by the
way, is one of the most experienced Radroad
men in Georgia, says, too much pra-se can
not be bestowed on Fuller end Murphy, who
showed a cool judgment and forethought in
this extraordinary affair, unsurpassed by
anything we ever knew in a Railroad emergen
cy. This gentleman, we learn from another,
offered, on his own account, $100 reward on
each man, for the apprehension of the vil
lains.
We do not know what Gov. Rrown will do
in this case, or what is his pustom in such
matters, but if such a thing is admissible,
we insist on Fuller and Murpby being pro
moted to the highest honors on the road^if
not by actually giving them the highest po
sition, at least, let them be promoted by
brevet. Certainly, their indomitable energy,
and quick correct judgment and decision in
the many difficnlt contingencies connected
with this unheard of emergency, hfi saved
all the Railroad bridges above Ringgold from
being burned: the mos. daring scheme that
this revolntion has developed has been thwart
ed, and the tremendous results wb : ch, if suc
cessful, can scarcely be imagined, much less
described, have been averted. Had they
succeeded in burning the bridges, the enemy
at Huntsville would have occupied Chatta-
possession of all East Tennessee. Our forces
at Knoxville, Greenville, and Cumberland
Gap, would, ere this, have been in the hands
of the enemy. Lynchburg, Va., would have
been moved upon at once. This would have
given them possession of the Valley of Vi|-
ginia, and Stone Wall Jackson could baVe
been attacked in tbe rear. They would h ave
possession of the Railroad leading to Char
lottesville, and Orange Court House, as well
as the South Side Railroad leading to Peters
burg and Richmond. They might have been
able to unite with McClelland’s forces, and
attack Jo. Johnston’s army, front and flunk.
It is not by any means improbable that our
army in Virginia, would have been defeated,
captured or driven out of the State this week.
Then reinforcements from all tho eastarn
and south-east portion of the country would
have been cut off from Beauregard. The en
emy have Huntsville now, and w th ail these
designs accomplished his army would have
been effectually flanked The mind and
heart shrink back appalled at the bare contem
plation of the awful consequences which wo’d
have followed the success of this one act.
When Fuller, Murphy and Cain started
from Big Shnaty on foot to catch that fugitive
engine, they we e involuntarily laughed at by
the crowd, serious ai the matter was—and to
most observers it was indeed most ludicrous;
but that foot race saved us, and prevented the
consummation of ail those tremendous conse
quences.
One fact we must not emit to mention is
the valuable assistance rendered by Peter
Bracken, the engineer on the down freight
train which Fuller and Murphy turned back.
He ran his engine fifty and a half miles—two
of them backing the whole freight train up to
Adairsville—made twleve stops, coupled to
the two cars which the fugitives had dropped,
and switched them off on sidings—all this, in
one hour and fivz minutes.
Wo doubt if the victory of Manassas or Co
rinth were worth as much to us as the frus
tration of this grand coup d’etat. It is not by
any means certain that ths annihilation of
Beauregard’s whole army at Corinth would
be so fatal a blow to U3 as would have been
tha burning of the bridges at that time and
by these men.
When we learned by a private telegraph
dispatch a few days ago, that the Yank ea
had taken Huntsville, we attached no great
importance to it. We regarded it merely as a
dashing foray of a small party to destroy
property, tear up the road, Ac., a la Morgen
When an additional telegiam announced the
federal force there to be from 17,000 to 20,000,
we were inclined to doubt it—though coming
from a perfectly honorable and upr ght gen
tleman, who would not be apt to seize upon a
wild report to send here to his friends. The
coming to that point with a large force, where
they would be flanked on either side by our
army, wo regarded as a most stupid and un
military act. We now understand it all. They
were to move upon Chattanooga and Knox
ville as soon as the bridges were burnt, aud
press on into Virginia as far as possiole, and
take all our forces in that Stat3 in the rear.
It was all the deepe t laid scheme and on the
grandest scale that ever emanated from the
brains of any number of Yankees combined.
It was one that was also, entirely practicable
on almost any day for the last year. There
were but two miscalculations in the whole
programme: they did not expect men t) start
cut afoot to pursue them, and they did not ex
pect these pursuers on :bot to find Maj. Coop
er’s old “ Yonah ” standing there all ready
fired up. Their calculat'ons on every other
point were dead certainties, and would have
succeeded perfectly.
This would have ec.ipsed anything Cept.
Morgan ever attempted. To think of a parcel
of Federal soldiers, officers and privates, com
ing down into the heart of the Cunfederi te
States—for they were hero in Atlanta and at
Marietta—(some of them got on the train at
Marietta that morning and others were at Big
Shanty;) of playing such a serious game on
the State Road, which is under the control of
our prompt, energetic and sagacious Governo-,
known as such all over America; t > seize the
passenger train on his Road, right at Camp
McDonald, where ho has a number of Geor
gia regiments encamped, and run off with it;
to burn the bridges on this same road, and go
safely through to the Federal lines—all this
would have been a feather in tho cap qf the
man'or mon who executed it.
Let this be a warning to the railroad men
and every body else in the Confederate
^fates. Let an engine never be left alone a
moment. Let additional guards be placed at
our bridges. This is a matter we specially
urged in the Confederacy long ago. We Lope
it wi'l now be heeded, further: let a suffi
cient guard be placed to watch tl^e Governs
ment stores in this city; and let increased
vigilance and watchfulness be put forth by
the watchmen. We bqow pup solitary man
who is guarding a bouse of nights in this city,
which contains a lot of baeon. Two or three
men could throttle and gag him and set fire to
the house at any time ; and worse, he con
ceives that there is no necessity for a guard,
as is sometimes seen off duty, for a few mo
ments—fully long enough for an incendiary
to burn the house he watches. Let Mr.
Shackelford, whom we know to be watchful
and attentive to his duties, take the respon-
sibi’-'ty at once of placing a well armed guard
of sufficient force aroqnd every house con
taining government stqrps. Let this be done
without wa ting for instructions from Rich
mond.
One other thought. The press is requested
by the Government to keep silent about the
movements of the army, and a great many
things of the greatest interest to oar people.
It has, in the main, patiloticaiiy comp': e d.—
We have complied in most cases, tut our
judgment wr 3 against it a'! the while. The
plea is that the enemy ®;» g 2t aeW8 , 5f
it is published in our papers. Now, we again
ask, what’s the use ? The enemy get what in
formation they want. They are wkh us and
pass among os almost daily. They find oat
from rs what they went to know, by pacing
of knowledge they are entitled to and ought
to know, for fear the enemy will find it out.
We ought to have a regular system of pass
ports over all our roads, and refuse to let any
man pass who could not give a good account
of himself—come well vouched for and make
it fully appear that he is not an enemy, and
that he is on legitimate business. This would
keep information from the enemy far more
effectually than any reticence of tbe press,
which ought lay before our people the full
facts in everything of a public nature.
