HAVIS’ BATTERY AT CHICAMAUGA-
Perry, Ga., Jan. 27th 1891.
Gen. A.P. Stewart,
Southern Commissioner
Chicamauga'and Chattanooga
National Park,
WASHINGTON; D. C.
Sib:— ~
In compliance iivith yoor invita
tion and request through -Gov.
Northen to Georgia commands for
information and positions engaged
in the battle oE Chicamauga, hav
ing no record extant, in order that;
all such; may be given as fair a
representation as possible in the
plan By act of Congress, making
the Ghieamauga battle field a Na
tional Park-; and to the end that
your honorable body may be. fur
nished every facility enabling
them the better to make a true and
correct compilation of facts touch
ing its history and demarkations,
leaving the whole in completion a
monument of truth within itself,
to stand forever to the. prowess
and valor of the American soldiers.
I have the honor to submit the fol
lowing statement or report of the
action taken in the battle of Chica
mauga by Havis’ Ga. Battery, Re
serve Artillery, Army of Tennes
see, then commanded by Maj. Felix
H. Robertson. Said report being
based on a private diary kept by
myself dnring the entire war, still
in my possession; showing each
day for itself. It was written at
intervals on the field as I then saw
and understood the. surroandings;
an exact transcript of which is en
closed/not embodied in report, but
as evidence of its truthfulness and
corroborative of the assumption
that this battery (Havis’) fired the
first cannon and lost the first Con
federate soldier killed on the 18th,
in the preliminary opening of that
great and sanguine battle: to wit:
battle of Chicamauga.
Soon after this . fight Gen
•Johnston’s command pushed up to
oar support, and in conjunction
with Havis’ (hot Bledsoe’s) bat
tery drove the enemy across and :
beyond Reed’s bridge spanning
Chicamauga river; and where we
silenced a Federal battery on •'the
other side contesting passage, and
wonndingafew of our infantrymen
and in turn on our part killing
and wounding several of the enemy,
a horse or two, and I ... think one
cow.
No other action by Havis’ bat
tery Friday evening, which still
accompanied Gen. Johnston scorn
mand on to Jay’s steam saw mill;,
thence on nearAlexander’s ford,and
bivouacing in line of battle for the
night, half waking, half sleeping’-Eultonsayse, “A section of the
and half freezing—having no
blankets, and hungry—somewhere
I think not a great distance from
Vineyard’s, in the vicinity of tbe
road leading from Chattanooga to
Lee & Gordon’s mill.
Next day, Saturday 19fh, about
10 o’clock a. m., Havis’ battery
moved further to the right, where
it stood the remainder of the day
with every hair on end momenta-
rially expecting to be thrown into
tbe'.terrible battle just ahead of us.
This day we did not fire a gun,
or having become adepts, prone
flat upon the ground, head front,
at hugging trees, many of which
abounded in that forest, we were
entirely whole at night, and when
we again bivonaced and sucked our
thumbs for supper, as usual.
At 3 o’clock Sunday morning,
20th, we were ordered, and did re
port to Geu.JBucbner, who having
no position on his line for us, or
dered us to Gen. Hood, who in turn
assigned us to Gen. Robertson’s
Texas brigade, somewhere I think,
a little right of center, and where
we got into position by daylight.
About 11 o’clock a. m. we were
rushed to the front with several
other batteries, through a sheet of
fire, leaden hail, solid shot, grape
shot, falling boughs and trees (and
I believe some brimstone) some
where near the Lee & Gordon
road, which then seemed to me
like hell itself turned loose on
earth with the devil and all his
impo-iD-fitall—otxa
first Missouri (Bledsoe’s) battery
of tbe Reserve Artillery opened
fire and drove the enemy from his
"position. Thus speaking, of ’ said' Tull description of each kind.
REPORT.
On Friday morning, Sept. 18th
1863, Havis’ battery and one otner
of the Reserve Artillery (8 guns)
under command of Maj. Robertson
moved out of bivouac from be
tween La Fayette and Ringgold,
and reported about 11 o’olock to
Gen. B- R- Johnson, then com
manding right column of army in
line of battle, near' Peeler’s mill,
on the Graysville and La Fayette
road." Soon thereafter Havis’ bat
tery became engaged with the ene
my at Peavine creek,where the trail
of one gun was broken in recoil,
and left in the rear for repairs.
The other three guns of the bat
tery pushed immediately forward
with Gen. Forest in person, accom
panied only by bis escort, making
a spirited and running fight of
perhaps several miles. Going in
to action here and there- as the en
emy offered resistance, when about
1 o’clock p. m., we suddenly and
—(without warning fell into the arms,
so-to speak, of a Federal brigade,
of perhaps dismounted cavalry
(said to have been Minty’s) only
escaping capture by the-- “skin of
our teeth,’’ or want of nerve by the
enemy to-do ns up in good style,
as was fully in bis power to have
done, —
- A little -rashness full of dash on
the part of tbe.gallant Gen. Forest
in making a continuous charge
with a battery of artillery over the
highways and through the woods,
with no support in striking dis-
bihce behind, and not even a yi-
dette or scout in front, had the ef
fect, however, of paralizing tbe_en-
emy with abjeot fear before he had
time to see and understand onr
true surroundings. Hence, after a
few volleys fired into ns, they fled
in confusion before the terrible
fire of the battery, which bad rush-
ed up and unlinjbered in his midst
and now continued pouring canis
ter into his ranks as he" fled down
descent and through an open field
to Reed’s bridge, not far off.
Here we lost J. Streeter, shot
through the abdomen, and I think
the first Confederate soldier killed
in the preliminary opening ofthe
battery (Bledsoe’s) as the Reserve
Artillery goes to prove that it was
Havis’ battery, which in fact be
longed to the Reserve Artillery—
hence you see both of these wor
thy officers must and could easily
have made the mistake.
Again page 299 Lieut. W. L.
Wood, commanding Bledsoe’s bat
tery, in his report does not men
tion any action by Bledsoe’s' bat
tery, except on Saturday the 19th j
Again page 493 Lieut. W. S.
Everett does not mention in bis
report any action by his battery ofl-
Friday 18th; and no mention any
where that Culpepper’s battery
.vent, into action on Friday 18th.
So you see these three batteries
mentioned above-arid named iu the
early part of Gen. Johnston’s re
port being the only batteries tb,?n
in bis column except'the Reserve
Artillery, I am oblged to" be cor
rect in my statement and, report of
thg action by Havis’ battery both
at Pea Vine creek (the first can
non fired) and also at Reed’s
bridge.
Then again, I find no official re
port from any officer showing a
Confederate soldier killed prior to
J. Streeter of Havis’ battery, or
that any battery fired a caumin pi i-
or to said battery at Pea Vi ue
creek. . This is a matter of small
ennut. nevertheless the truth as
Here we stood, saw, and took it
all without firing a gun, because of
our infantry beiug just in front of
us, and whose support We -were if
driven back in this terrible and
desperate onslaught.
In other words we were huddled
in the pen ior slaughter, but the
gallant men in our front (I will
always love them) were equal to
the emergency, and we escaped
with a few horses killed and a few
men wounded.
After this we were thrown to
ward the left and somewhat con
fronting Snod Grass Hill, but
could not get in position on our
part of the line, though heavily ex
posed at times during the balance
of the day.
Sunday night we again bivonac
ed with the wounded and dying of
both armies all around ns; so hor
rible that I still shudder at the
mention of Ghicamanfia.
Excuse the comment, but I "was
back on that gory old field again
the past summer; the first time,
nearly 27 years ago since I stood,
I think, on the very identical spot,
in the midst of ruin aud death, and
was scarcely able to realise wheth
er the past had been a reality or
some horrible tale of whioh I bad
read or dreamed. v

ADDENDA
(Explanation of errors.)
In the official reports^ both of
Gen.B. R. Johnston and Col. John
S. Fulton, Hayis’ battery is made to
suffer, no doubt, an unintentional
injustice, toy naming: Bledsoe’s
Missouri battery- as 1 silencing a
Federal battery at Reed’s bridge^
..instead j£ Havis’ battery, which
was in fact the only one then and
there engaged.
In series I voL XXX pgs. 451
and 452, Gen. Johnston says “Maj.
Robertson repiorted to me with
eight pieces of jxtillery.” “Maj.
Robertson placed some four pieces
of bis own command, etc.,” both of
which statements are entirely cor
rect; but in same connection says:
“The enemy opened 'a battery on
the bridge, which was silenced by
_a section of Bledsoe’s artillery.’’
This last statement is a mistake—
he should have said Havis’ battery.

Bishop Williams recently wrote
in reply to a young Hartford man
about to be married; “I regret,
sir, that it is without my province
to order the word ‘obey’ omitted
from the marriage-service. There
is no way this can be done except
by vote of the House of Bishops.
The house next convenes In 1892,
and if you postpone your marriage
until then, 1 will take pleasure in
presenting your petitton to the
house for its action.” The young
man concluded not to wait.
Now \?e have a gun that should
keep off all onr belligerent neigh
bors. It was forged at the Watev-
vliet steel works dnring the past
year, and is said to propel a 1,000
pound projectile ten- miles -with
fatal effect. Considering that it is
to contain 400 pounds of powder at
each charge the projectile should
be carried at a rate that is positive
ly terrific. What we need now is
an enemy toivy it on. But nobody
seems to speak up. —Savannah

1. would say that I have been
most snccessfal, in securing sure
heads from the Early Makket and
the Fatlar’s Brunswick, and I con-1
sider them the best for this coun
try.-
. Commence sowing your seed on
the 20th of October, and continue
until the last of-May. Seeds sown
in May, proetected from the hot^
sun, and transplanted in August,
will produce hard heads in winter,
equal to those shipped here from
the north.
Houston county is the garden
spot of the United States. There
is no season of the year that we
cannot have garden vegetables
growing.
In preparing for gardening, the
best manure is the rich loam from
the woods, found beneath the un-
rotted leaves, which must be raked
aside. . ‘ >
Haul this loam into the garden
.in October, and spread it four
inches deep • all over the land.
Then break the land with a Dixie
plow, as deep as a mule can pull
it. Follow in the Dixie plow fur
row with a large diamond-pointed
scooter, stirriug the sub-soil as
deeply as possible. This deep
lire iking will prevent the heavy
raius_from “sobbing” the land, and
also prevent the sammer drouth
fro:ni injuring the cabbage plants.
After Lilly la liaut—nrauirre'
Albany (Ga.) News
Several nights since, as two well
known young men of the city were
walking in the neighborhood of
the Baptist church, their attention
was attracted to a tall figure that
stood under the shadow of-an oax.
Moved by some subtle influence;
they stbpped'and peered through
the gloom at the tall figure, and
then, with some misgivings, they
advanced toward it. As they near
ed the tall figure, they sought to
elicit some expression from it by
badinage, but the tall figure re
mained as motionless and silent as
a statue, until the young men' were
within two feet of it.
Then, with dismay, they discov
ered that the figure was the head,
less trunk of a man, bat before
they could put their inclination to
fly into execution, the long arms
of- the figure smote each of them
with-terrific blows, causing them
to fall like sticks at bis feet
When they recovered an hour
afterward their ghostly visitor was
gone/ but there was no indication
that violence had been done either
of them, and they were not long in
leaving the spot where they eflr
euuntered such a strange adven
ture.
One of these young men, - who
prefers that his name shall not be
given for the present, at least, was
the reporter’s informant of the sto
ry as related above.
He said that when struck by the
headless figure, he experienced no
pain, bat a sensation like the ting
ling of' a slight electric shock pass
ed through his frame, and then he
became completely paralyzed. He
did not lose consciousness, but
could not move a muscle,nor conld
he utter the slightest sound. -
While in. this condition the tall
fimine hent, over hig pjcostralh form
from tke/horse lot, in November,
and spread two inches deep broad
cast over the land. Then break as
iu the first breaking.
Then in December take green
cotton seed, 200 bushels per acre,
spread broadcast over the garden,
and break again, as before.
Then, as early as the spring will
admit, take your cabbage plants
from the hot beds and transplant
in rows three feet wide, by two
feet apart in the drill to make large
heads. They can be placed closer
together for early market;- With
that distance I have grown hard
heads that weighed 25 pounds
each.
The best method of preparing
the land for transplanting is to run
off the rows with a six-inch shovel
plow, and put a little barn-yard
manure, or guano, in the furrow.
Then make the bed with a. four-
inch scooter, and strike off tho bed
with a hoe, leaving a flat top. Set
out the plants.
As soon as they take root and
start to grow, plow as close to the
plants as possible... with a small
scooter/and put gnano in the sid
ing furrowd^at the rate of 800
pounds to the acre^ and plough out
and that of his companion also,
and made a hurried search of their
pockets. While doing this the
headless neck was brought close to
his eyes, and forever photograph-
plans for_ the old people down to
such a fine point that they are not
mentioned. But we would be glad
to see an effort made to extend the
advantages already recognized and
provided for by the-proposed repe
tition of the cliatanqua plan of
last year. But cannot the princi
ples of a teacher’s chathoqua and a
farmers’ institute be so blended
that all daring fair week the as
sembly’ hall shall have constantly
in progress exercises which shall
give to the farmers of Georgia the
most prominent features of the
great educational-movement which
has as its aim the accomplishment
of great qhanges in the conditions
of living ia the country ? It is not
difficult to see that two things—
poor schools and poor homes—are
at the bottom of half the troubles
which form so frequently the'sta-
ple of conversation when the far
mers’condition is referred to. The
easiest way in which to account ^
for a poor school is to lay the re
sponsibility upon-a poor teacher;
and a poor home-—a very different
thing,by the way r from a poor house
—is supposed to exist as the fault _
of a poor homemaker: And enough
truth-is in both assumptions to let
them pass, If we will understand,
that-the farmer who does'notknow
enough, of what a good school and-
a good home are, to make It pos
sible for him to lend active and
intelligent co-operalion at all times
and all seasons, has nohope under
heaven of ever offering to his chil
dren the one or the other.
How tomake farm life pleasant?
—the question has ad army of
earnest )vorkers engaged in finding
the answer. Farm life will be
pleasant when there is a home on
every farm, and the “home annex
es,” as schools have been called,are
worthy of the name home. The
boys and girls who gravitate to
ward town are simply following the
instincts/ of their higher- natures.
It is, as we kno n, a poor creature
whose wants end with food aud
raiment. There is an inherent-
tOYL ut
Jm; aJL^urnnatiuli;—^/re
gression, success, beauty,. in every
person whose faculties escape the
demoralization which begins, too
often, in tne very babyhood of
country children. The conditions

the figure had completed the search ^ arm b fe should not be such.
of his own and his companion’s
pockets, a sigh of disappointment
came from the. orifice of its neck,
and then, laying a hand on .himself
and companion, each of them be
came totally unconscious, and, as
before stated, when they recovered
the ghostly figure was gone.
From another source the repor
ter learned that for some time past
some of the residents in that por-
1 tion of the city where these young
men had tbeir strange adventure,
haye been troubled at night by
strange and unnatural noises
around their homes, the mystery
of which they have not been, able
to solve, but which are probably
accounted for in the meeting which
the young men had with tbe head
less figure.
And the question now is, is That

cabbage are four inches wide, side
them again with a four-inch, scoot
er, and put the same amount' of
guano in these furrows. Then
plow out the rows with a six-inch
shovel plow. Rake tho ground
level again. Ten or fifteen days
afterward, ran two farraws. ip the
middle of each row with a six-inch,

In this -put a liberal amount of
barn-yard manure, or rotted cot

the manure with a rake. After this;
there will be no need of other
work, except- with a rake, or very
shallow hoeing. This most be
done every week until.tne cabbage
commence to bead, and; then quit
working altogether,.

never fail to grow plenty of hard

When early cabbages^ are de
sired, you most leave the plants on
an oval bed, so the water will run
