A Rxrr.r 10 W. H. Maatmaw.???In tba war
column of Tn* Wxrkly Cokstiiuiios ap
peared an article over the signature of W. U.
Meritbew, which, if I am right in my sur
mises, contains some very gross errors. The
article in question proposes lo give an ao
count of the repulse of General Wheeler at
UcUiilan???s ford on the 24ih of August. No
year Is given by Mr. Meritbew, hut other
good and valid reasons convinces rue that he
had reference to the 24th of August, 18G4, as
General Wheeler crossed the Uoislon river at
some forJ, which name is not remembered
by the writer, about that time. If I am cor
rect in my conjectures, these are the facts in
thecise:
About 11 o???clock a. m., (day of the month
not remembered, butit era* someday between
the 2t)lh and 20th uf August, of lHtltJ General
W., accompanied by his es.ort, couriers, etc.,
reached the south bank of tho Molaton river
at a ford whose name 1 also fall to remem
ber, if indeed I ever heard it, some 12 or IS
miles east of Knoxville, where he discovered
some federal aoldiersou the opposite or north
bauk. In a lew momenta the Tnird Arkansaa
cavalry arrived, formed a line, dismounted
and formed again on foot in about 76 yards
of the river bank. At lliia time General W,.
with two or three other persona, win standing
on the river bank taking ob-u-rvatiun, the
plaes where be stood and where the regiment
termed being an old held not then in culti
vation. ihitu banks of tbs river wero well
lined with greeu trees and underbrush, con
aequently aliurued good covering for Doth
pirires. As soon as the regiment had farmed
on foot ft marched to the river bauk where
General W. was standing, and ou reaching
mere he ordered them to open and continue
a brisk fire along the opposite bauk, as he
wanted to aend a company over the river to
capture tboae soldiers over there. Ax the
sequel will show, the federels were on ibe
north bank of the river, we on the south. To
crocs the river from the south side it hud to
be emered some M yards above where face
came out on the norm aide, oonaeqiietuly in
mVeiog tho crotsing face travelled from
southeast to aouthwest. Upon examination
it appeared that iu time, and when the lord
wna first mado It hart been made so as to
enter the river from the north aldeaud travel
down It oouiiug out somewhere below; but
for some cause this route had long aince
been abandoned, and the ford made to the
left and pointing diagonally aoroas tho river
lo the ford in the aoutheaai direction, as be
fore staled. Now, iu the forka ot these two
fords on the north bank, and very near the
edge of the water was a sin dl mound about
two feet high and sume 10 or 16 foot long,
tbo remains of what had evidently been a
son of second bauk. Behind this m mini
and in the folks of the two roads, lay con
cealed three or four of these federal guards
Just above the ford were a lew more. On
tnu bank Hood a horse hitched lo a swinging
limb; just abovu the ford stood another
Similarly fastened, Hiid the two horses were
all we could see; hut when General W first
arrived he had discovered a rqusd ot soldiers,
but how many he did not know, hence bin
cautloncu.
As tooti os Ihs Third Arkansas opened lira
a company of tba Eighth Texas cavalry
moved ofTin the Ulrceuou of Ihe ford, aud as
We all well knew to cross over. Observing
tbit one of the Ttitnl Arkansas cavalry re
marked ???That thaw rankers over Ihete were
lyiug behind that little bauk; that they had
pistols, blankets, etc., and that those d???d
Texaua would gat it all." In a moment inure
be made tbo same observation, aud added:
???I'll be U???d It 1 don't oral tin m this time "
In a moment mora he had dlvraied blhirell
of tils clolbing, gave them to his brotn.r,
and plunged into the river lo awim across.
He had, however, been anticipated by
other edventurone member of me Third who
had done the tame thing and mar ihu same
time. The Third Arkansas had been formed
ou the south bank aud immediately opposite
tbs ford on the north bauk, whare ilia fed
eral* sure enough lay cunoealed At tliu race
(or the opposite bauk was bring made be
tween the two Arkantlana, the nalauca ot
tbi r -gluirnlbecanio moreimerrsted In it than
iu tha federal guards on tho opfets ts side,
and had in consi quence uf it almost ceassd
firing. Uy this lime the Texans bad gotteu
nearly to me middle of the river, which was
about aaddle-ttirt deep, and observing lhai
Ibe Third had almost ceased firing, holloed
out to them to "lire on, but to sbuot a ilttir
higher." in a minute more the Texaut bad
reached ahaliow water, when putting spurs
to their horses, dashed forward. At they dtti
so the federal* lying b bind this little mound
or bank, for the Hr t time, aa they atated
themselves, observed them, and arose and
started tin the bank; but I'teT.xana were ton
quick foij heoi.cap'.url g ham wllhoi t firing
??? gun. As they n-e-uittn up tint batik 1
no.toed one was a tall man, and had ou a
linen duster. Onto! the thir l no iotug it
???aid qtilcklv: ???Look at that d???d fellow
with a linen coat on; I'll bet lie la a quarter-
metier." The two men who bad undertaken
to swim the river tuocredrd admirably, ike
one tint proposing it toeing the taller watted
more, and oouiiqmn'ly reached the coveted
p'ac-gliiti* ahead id Ihe other, and sure
enough captured two line pistols, while the
other one got two splendid army blanket*.
N iw. as it lesards Mr. Meruhew???t state
ment of the killing ot ???forty or fifty," I can
only say that if one single man was eyer
w.'Unded, no one In the whole command
evtr knew it There eere not more than
200 of ihe Thlni Arkansas present, and as
???aw the entire command all the time, and
for days afterwards. I know tbet not oue
man was hurt at this creeeing.
Mr Meritbew relates ihe conversation be
tween General Wheeler end one of the cap
tured guards. Toe part assigned lo General
W. does not sound much like Whedfer. is
it not likely that Mr Meritbew it lull when
in iu befog Wheeler 7 If he end 1 have ref
erence to the same time aud ihe earns foul,
he ie badly mistaksu in suppealug we tus
tained any loss. If, however, we have refer
ence to the same dele, but lo ??? difisrem ford,
he is again mistaken, (nr be never saw Gen
eral Wheeler It was some one of bis sub
ordinates whom be taw and not ???Little
Joe." After we hail all crossed the river
we baited f ir eeverst hours, and dying the
time we reuld plainly bear the fire of ran non
up the river, and 1 wot told that it was John
Morgan lusseling wim the enemy at Straw
berry Plains. This might not have been
Morgan, boi may have beensoiueof Wheeler'a
in lien of my claim agsinat the bankrupt
government and awaited (he result. Itcame
sooner Hit* I expected. The thoroughly
disciplined regiment of veterans which for
an hour had surrendered itself to desponden
cy and despair was suddenly seised with a
senseless, and, therefore, uncontrollable
panic. In a moment discipline wax forever
at aD end. Virginia cavalry, which bad
never faltered before the enemy, had become
a hopeless mob.
The next day I was many miles sway, fol
lowing the southwesterly trend of the moun
tains in compsny with two brothers of the
beating craft, one a North Carolinian and one
areeidentof Nashville. The scenery about
us w*< magnificent. Far to the southeast
rose Pilot Knob, a mass of bma against the
horizon. The trees were beginning to bnd,
and here and there great cluster! of pink
arbutus peeped irom beneath the dark green
leaves Bat little were we thinking of our
surroundings. The present was too uncer
tain and the future too cheerless to admit of
pleasant thoughts. At length Dr. B., our
comrade from the old north state, began to
show signs of being unsteady in the saddle
Poor fellow I Sherman had left hia bouse in
ashes and bis forluno had entirely melted
away. The shock was to much for film, and
'with the aid of liquor he bed sunk Into a de*
spondency frein which we vainly attempted
to arouse him. At flret he begged us to
leavehim; but when wo still urged him to
rise from the roadside where he had seated
himself, he drove us from him with threats
and cnrscs Bo we left him and sadly con
tinued onr way for nearly a week, when mv
companion bade me farewell and returned
homeward through a gap in the mountalna.
Hardly had he left me when I found my
self suddenly surrounded lay a troop of des
perate looking characters, whom I discovered
lo he a party of Georgians who had deesrted
in time to avoid the anrrender, and who were
now finding their way homewares cautiously
in order to avoid Btonemsn'e prowling de
tachments. Finding that I, too, was "going
south," they received me with ruugli cordial-
I'y and treated me with genuine kindness.
Upon perceiving that mv horse wes rapidly
fagging they stretched their courtesy rsther
far, I am afraid, by (-.impelling a gentleman
who was driving peaceably along the road to
halt while they unhitched his horse and
placed mine in itsstcad. They then merrily
assisted me to mount my now steed aud I

At length I parted with my wild but

galloping of horses behind, and, turning, taw
lo my dismay a party of those marauders
who swarmed through Use country in the
early days of reeonslruction. They reso
lutely requested me to dismount, ns they
wanted my herse. Accordingly, percelviug
that in this Instance prudence was much the
hntler part of valor, I complied witli such n
rueful expression on my face that they, not
without a touch of grim humor, restored lo
me the saddle. Of coutse I protested that I
could not ride on the saddle unless they left
ths horse under it, but they were obdurate,
and to I waa constrained to soil it to one of
