that for a moment my heart sank within me. But instantly Opdycke's brigade and the 12th and 16th Kentucky sprang forward, auld do more than justice to the magnificent conduct of Emerson Opdycke's brigade and Laurence H. Rousseau's 12th Kentucky andheir proud fame. Yet the light in which the part acted by Opdycke's brigade (the others not being mentioned) is presented bymold the battle or control its issue, the simple charge of Opdycke's brigade stands in boldest relief.

I believe little disputes always arise out of the honorable rivalry which exists between bodies of troops acting together in a great battle. Franklin was no exception to that general rule.
