effect. Captain White's company captured two surgeons, two captains, and fourteen men from the Lincolnites, and recaptured three of Colonel Wright's regiment, when within two hundred yards of the boats. It is a remarkable fact that not a man was lost of the cavalry corps engaged, and but two slightly wounded. Two companies of the First Tennessee battalion of cavalry, Colonel Logwood, were kept on this side as a reserve, in anticipation of an attack on this side of the river. Captain Ballentine's company, the Shelby Light Dragoons, and Captain Green's (formerly Major Hill's) company, were stationed on the hill above Columbus, and the battle went on before them like a panorama. Captain Taylor's Cavalry, the Memphis Light Dragoons, captured 24 prisoners, among whom was Brevet Brigadier-General Dougherty, Colonel of the Seventh Illinois regiment, who had been shot in the early part of the day — about the time of the taking of the Watson battery by the enemy.

aptain Worden and the crew of the Monitor for their services in destroying the Virginia. A bill was passed in one branch of the Forty-second Congress making such an appropriation, but it failed to secure action in the other house. Eight years later the claim was revived, the bill authorizing an appropriation of $200,000. The whole subject of the Virginia's operations in Hampton Roads was carefuly investigated by the Committee on Naval Affairs of the House, and on the 31st of May, 1864, Mr. Ballentine, for the committee, submitted a very exhaustive report, which was adopted, rejecting the claim. The committee, in submitting the result of their labors, concluded their report in the following language: Holding to these views, we respectfully report adversely to the passage of the bill. This report can be found in the Congressional Record of May, 1884, and also in Volume XIII., Southern Historical Society Papers, published in 1885. The Virginia was 262 feet 9 inches long and she dre
The Daily Dispatch: October 17, 1861., [Electronic resource], The skirmish near Paducah, Ky. (search)
--The following is a reliable account of the recent skirmish near Paducah, about which the Northern journals have been glorifying themselves: On Wednesday morning last, Lieutenant-Colonel Logwood, accompanied by a detachment of Captain Ballentine's company, left the camp at Columbus and proceeded towards Paducah. About ten o'clock the same night the company dismounted, and, leaving their horses, proceeded on foot through the woods to within two miles of Paducah, where there was a Fough the woods to within two miles of Paducah, where there was a Federal Picket composed of six dragoons, four of whom were shot and two taken prisoners. During the firing Mr. James C. Fleming, of the Memphis Light Dragoons, and John Gallagher, of Capt. Ballentine's company, who had become separated from their companions, were shot before they were recognized. Dr. Holmes was shot and wounded by the Federals. Gallagher was killed almost instantly. Holmes and Fleming will probably recover.

h for his mother, sister, and niece, and have them conveyed to Nashville. Gen. Pillow immediately commissioned Capt. Williams as bearer of a dispatch to Gen. Smith, for the above object, and accompanied by an escort of thirty men, under Capt. Ballentine, of the Shelby Light Dragoons, with a flag of truce, the party started on their mission. At the suburbs of the city they were met by a Federal officer, who escorted Captain Williams and Ballentine within the city, to Gen. Smith's head qBallentine within the city, to Gen. Smith's head quarters, who at once gave permission for the ladies to depart, and ordered a carriage to be placed at their disposal. The two Confederate officers were entertained for several hours by the Federal Commander, when they rejoined their command, and were again escorted by a Federal officer to Capt. Davis's five miles distant in the country, where the ladies were staying, when parting salutations were interchanged, and the gallant captains, and the ladies under their charge, started on their return

further ride of about a mile brought us to another farm-house, and, riding up to the gate, our Captain's summons was answered by a lady. The same inquiry after rest and refreshments for man and beast was propounded, when the lady informed Captain Ballentine that her husband was absent having gone to Lovelaceville to investigate the rumors of the ravages of the savages at that place. Here was a fair excuse for her refusal to receive us under her roof during the absence of her husband, and we we on, when a sudden thought seemed to strike the noble woman, and it became her turn to question, and our Captain's to reply. "Before you go," she said, "allow me to ask which Government you serve, the Federal or Confederate?" "Madam," said Captain Ballentine, while his very tone and manner spoke his pride in the distinction of rebel, "we are humble tools in the hands of Providence for the vindication of the right of man to self-government and of course are enlisted under the Confederate flag."
