y brigade consisted of the 17th, 19th and 20th Louisiana regiments, the 9th Texas, the 1st Florida, and Clack's Louisiana battalion, with the 5th Company of Washington Artillery of New Orleans. Soon after the battle of Shiloh, Hindman was assigned to the command of Ruggle's division, but only exercised it a few days when he was ordered to Arkansas, and the command devolved upon me as senior brigadier. I commanded the division in the retreat from Corinth till we reached Clear Creek, near Baldwin, where I was taken ill with fever, and Major-General Sam Jones was assigned to the division. I rejoined the division at Tupelo, Miss., where the army was reorganized, and I commanded a brigade in Sam Jones's division till we reached Chattanooga, Tenn., in August of that year, preparatory to the Kentucky campaign. In August, 1862, while encamped near Chattanooga, the division was reorganized, and was composed of Walker's, Adams's, Anderson's, and Richard's brigades. About the middle of

the course of a few hours the enemy came in sight, directly in our front, their battle line more than a mile long; the glint and glimmer of their guns shone like a wave of silver. When they got within the range of our rifles, they halted and began a desultory firing, and ten or twelve pieces of artillery came in a gallop to the front. Then the command was given to fall back to the two forts, and for the 12th and 16th Mississippi Regiments to occupy Gregg, and the 19th and 48th to occupy Baldwin. When we reached Fort Gregg we found there two pieces of field artillery, manned by twelve or fifteen men, and about one hundred infantry, who had made their escape from the right. They begged to go to the rear, and we hesitated whether to let them go or make them stay and help to defend the fort; but concluded that in their demoralized condition it was better to let them go, provided they left their guns with us, which they readily consented to do. While we were getting into positi

He determined, therefore, to penetrate into the interior, far from all water communication, by following the Meridian and Mobile Railway due south. The town of Baldwin, situated on this line, and that of Greentown, which is near it, were designated as points of concentration to the several corps commanders. On the 26th, the Chio Railway near Booneville on the night of the 29th, and waited in the woods for daylight. On the 30th, at two o'clock in the morning, learning that the town of Baldwin was fortified and well defended, he fell back upon Booneville, of which he took possession. At that very moment Beauregard was quietly evacuating the works arounadvanced posts on this water-course until the 2d of June, for the purpose of rallying the stragglers, while he assembled his several corps in the neighborhood of Baldwin, only fifty kilometres from Corinth; here he remained until the 7th. Pope, reinforced by one of Buell's divisions, started at last in search of the Confederate

ne, and its great extension causes breaks during the march in battle order which it executes through the woods to join the enemy. Lucius Polk's brigade, on the right, has received orders to advance some time after the departure of Breckinridge, who is to serve him as a guide. It obliques to the left, tries to rejoin him, and, failing of success, separates from Wood, who is placed in the centre of the division. Wood arrives upon the south-east angle of the Union line, which is occupied by Baldwin's brigade of Johnson's division. Polk, in another direction, deprived of all support, falls on the middle of the enemy's embattled front facing eastward. The three brigades—Helm's, Polk's, and Wood's—therefore attack, each separately, three points on this front, which is defended by Baird and Johnson with five brigades strongly posted behind log breastworks. We have seen what has become of Helm's brigade. At two hundred steps from the enemy's works Polk is checked by the fire from Stark

cause it would not cause them to lose any of their most important conquests, whereas the absence of Longstreet would expose Bragg's army to an irredeemable disaster, since he would surrender to Grant the heart of the Confederacy. The reader already knows that Bragg had nearly fifty-seven thousand men present under arms. But in this number were comprised neither Stevenson's division, about three thousand five hundred strong and stationed at Loudon on the upper Tennessee, nor Quarles' and Baldwin's two brigades, composed of Vicksburg prisoners whom the Confederate Government had declared to be liberated from their parole, and who, on their arrival toward the end of October, had been sent to East Tennessee. Therefore, Bragg's forces under his banners must have amounted to sixty-three or sixty-four thousand men. His three army corps, brought under a uniform formation, comprised each three divisions, Buckner and Walker having been placed under the orders of Cheatham and Longstreet.

iah Jordan organized the first Medford Band and was instrumental in bringing Burdett of the Boston Brigade Band out to Medford to teach band music. My brother, Henry Lincoln Jordan, was the leader. Jordan & Potter's Quadrille Band furnished music for many of Medford's dancing parties. I had always been steeped in music (as you might say), and it was one of my greatest delights when father would allow me to go with him. I hope I may be a dancer in the next world. His next band was called Baldwin & Jordan's Cornet Band and afterward (father having given up playing) it merged under Mr. Thomas Baldwin's leadership into the now famous Germania Band of Boston. Father was instrumental in having a singing school in Town Hall. He and Theophilus Johnson sailed up and down the river many a calm evening serenading with their cornets. I remember the old ship-building days and the old chain bridge which frightened me so when it was hoisted to let a vessel pass; the old canal along the ba

the story there is no doubt; Parson Sewall, historian of Woburn, tells the same story. He, however, says nothing about the contemplation by these young men of tempting red cheeks, on loaded boughs, in Upper Medford or elsewhere. (Of course the red cheeks were those of apples.) Readable and interesting stories are, as Mr. Trowbridge told the writer (relative to Tinkham Brothers' Tide Mill), mainly fiction, woven around some historic fact or incident that comes to public attention. The Baldwin apple had come into prominence some fifty years before this entertaining story, claiming Medford as its origination, was written. Governor Brooks had known Colonel Baldwin, and, himself in advanced years, tells his young kinsman Charles about the origin of the Baldwin apple, formerly called the Woodpecker, or, for short, the 'Pecker, and that the tree was on the Samuel Thompson farm. And at his request, in 1813, this spry young man of eighteen years visits the tree, i.e., a tree on a Sam

lows: The enemy is falling back to Tusilla, fifty miles from here by railroad, and nearly seventy by wagon road. General Pope estimates the rebel loss from casualties, prisoners and deserters, at over 20,000. Gen. Buell at between 20,000 and 30,000. A person employed in the Confederate commissary department says they had 120,000 men in Corinth, but now they cannot muster 80,000.--Many fresh graves found on the road were opened and found filled with arms.
