Mr. Murphy's memory agreed with Mr. McDermott's with reference to the killing of General Lytle, but, knowing memory to be sometimes unreliable, he decided to write to Judge S. S. Calhoon, of Jackson, Miss., in whom Mr. Murphy has the greatest confidence. Yesterday he received a reply, and, although it is a private letter, Mr. Murphy is willing to have it published: Jackson, Miss., November 29, 1895. Mr. Dan. O'C.

Murphy, 1353 Magazine Street, New Orleans, La. my dear Dan: I have yours of the 27th instant, and cannot express to you the pleasure I felt on hearing directly from an old friend and army comrade. We are thinning out almost daily, and I feel of kin to the survivors of our old brigade. When I saw the statement of Barney McDermott, I could not at first recall him, but I now remember him very well as a tall, soldierly-looking Irish sergeant, brave in action and attentive to all his duties in camp and on the march.

e resumed the practice of law, was elected to the Legislature of Ohio, and in 1857 was an unsuccessful candidate for Lieutenant-Governor on the Democratic ticket. Soon afterwards he became major-general of the Ohio militia, and at the beginning of the civil war was commissioned colonel of the Tenth Ohio Regiment, which he led in West Virginia in 1861. At Carnifax Ferry, on September 10, 1861, he commanded a brigade, and was severely wounded. He was again wounded and taken prisoner at Perryville, Ky., October 8, 1862, and, when exchanged, was promoted to brigadier-general, November 29th. Thereafter he served actively under Rosecrans till he was killed while leading a charge of his brigade at the battle of Chickamauga. General Lytle had much literary taste and genuine poetic talent, and was the author of many poems of merit. His best-known poem is the one we copy above, written in 1857. No book collection of his verses has ever been made. On the death of this brilliant poet-sol

a weekly paper in one of the Louisiana parishes in 1860, so we have been informed by a gentleman who resided in that section of the country at that time. We rather incline to the opinion that ex-Governor Allen, of Louisiana, who died an exile in Mexico shortly after the close of the war, was their author. He was one of the most talented men in the Pelican State, but died several years before any controversy arose as to the authorship of the poem. Office of the Public Ledger, Edwards & Fivea warfare. His father, Robert T. Lytle, was a member of Congress, 1833-35, and afterwards surveyor of public lands. The subject of this sketch graduated at Cincinnati College, studied law, began the practice, but at the beginning of our war with Mexico he volunteered, and served as captain in the Second Ohio Regiment. At the close of the war he resumed the practice of law, was elected to the Legislature of Ohio, and in 1857 was an unsuccessful candidate for Lieutenant-Governor on the Democrati

he was killed. For a number of years we had in our employ, as local reporter, Mr. T. B. Ruffin, who is now dead. Mr. Ruffin was a printer, and went from Virginia to the Southwest about 1858, where he remained until the war broke out, when he returned as a member of a Memphis company. Some twelve or fifteen years ago, when conversing with him relative to the poem named, he told me that he had read it about the year 1860 in a weekly paper published in Louisiana, in the neighborhood of Donaldsonville, I think. The name of the paper, if he told me, I have forgotten. I have since been of the opinion that ex-Governor Allen, of your State, composed the poem, and if you ascertain the name of the paper and the date on which the poem was published I think that you could prove the groundlessness of the claim that has been made in Ohio that General Lytle composed the verses. Mr. Ruffin worked in Baton Rouge on State printing, I think, shortly before the war commenced. He was in Memphis,

States is in receipt of the following letter of inquiry from Mr. Joseph G. Fiveash, of the Norfolk (Va.) Public Ledger. The clipping referred to in the letter is from the Norfolk Virginian, and is as follows: Our neighbor, the Virginian, in its issue of this morning, speaking of the authorship of the poem Antony and Cleopatra, says: Quite an animated discussion is going on among certain newspapers concerning the time when this poem was written, but it is generally believed that the Maysville (O.) Republic's statement is correct. That paper says that General William H. Lytle had the manuscript on his person when the Confederates came across his body on the field of Chickamauga. The belief has obtained that General Lytle wrote the poem at Cincinnati before the war, but its condition when found on his person at Chickamauga showed that he composed it at odd hours in the camp. General Lytle may have written the verses with which he is generally credited, but if so, he must have c

Lytle. William H. Lytle was born in Cincinnati, O., November 2, 1826. His great-grandfather, William, fought in the French war. His grandfather, of the same name, was an early pioneer in Ohio, and active in Indian warfare. His father, Robert T. Lytle, was a member of Congress, 1833-35, and ems of merit. His best-known poem is the one we copy above, written in 1857. No book collection of his verses has ever been made. On the death of this brilliant poet-soldier, General W. S. Rosecrans issued the following: headquarters, Cincinnati, O., January 8, 1864. As Brigadier-General Wm. H.

General W. S. Rosecrans issued the following: headquarters, Cincinnati, O., January 8, 1864. As Brigadier-General Wm. H. Lytle fell leading a gallant charge against the foe advancing on our retreating troops, I may be excused from departing from the strict rule of mentioning those officers whose good conduct could be properly officially noticed by the general commanding only. This brave and generous young officer, whose first wounds were received while fighting under my command at Carnifex Ferry, where he fell desperately wounded at the head of his regiment, was also badly wounded and taken prisoner at the battle of Perryville, where he repelled a desperate onslaught of the enemy. On rejoining the Army of the Cumberland with his well-earned rank of brigader, he was assigned second in command to General Sheridan. When he fell gloriously on the field of Chickamauga, Ohio lost one of her jewels, and the service one of its most patriotic and promising general officers. W. S. Ro

t's recollection of the death of Lytle. The popular version. The States is in receipt of the following letter of inquiry from Mr. Joseph G. Fiveash, of the Norfolk (Va.) Public Ledger.

Office of the Public Ledger, Edwards & Fiveash, Proprietors, Norfolk, Va., October 12, 1895. Editor States,—By the enclosed clipping you will see that the claim is still made that General Lytle, who was killed at Chickamauga, compy the General by a camp-fire the night preceding the bloody battle of Chickamauga, in which battle he was killed. As a matter of fact, the poem, as stated by our Norfolk friend, was printed in 1860, fully three years before the battle referred to, and is extant in the Library of American Literature, volume 8, page 312, credited to
