r Colonel T. H . Hunt. The Union force at Hartsville consisted of Colonel A. B. Moore's brigade of Dumont's division and numbered about two thousand men. At Castalian Springs, nine miles distant, there were two brigades numbering 5000, and at Gallatin, other forces, all belonging to Thomas's command. Morgan crossed the Cumberland on the night of the 6th, and disposed his forces so as to cut off the retreat from Hartsville on the roads to Lebanon, Gallatin, and Castalian Springs, and, closing in, attacked the troops who were drawn up to receive him. Morgan won a complete victory after a stubborn fight of an hour and a half, and promptly retired with his prisoners and some wagons, animals, and stores. While he was retiring, the advance of a brigade of reenforcements under Colonel John M. Harlan, coming up from Castalian Springs, reached Hartsville and attacked the Confederate rear-guard. The Union loss was: k, 58; w, 204; m, 1834,--total, 2096. The Confederate loss was 139 in all

early part of the month one of the most brilliant events of the year took place in the capture of Hartsville, Tenn. The expedition was planned and led by General Morgan and was composed entirely of Kentucky troops: 1,400 cavalry under Col. Basil W. Duke; the Second and Ninth Kentucky infantry, commanded by Col. Thomas H. Hunt; Captain Cobb's battery, and two howitzers and two Ellsworth guns of the cavalry. General Morgan had learned that Federal detachments were stationed at Gallatin, Castalian Springs and Hartsville, his old stamping-ground, and he proposed to repeat some of his exploits of the past summer. Leaving Murfreesboro on the 5th, the command moved to Baird's Mills, half way to Hartsville, which was fifty miles distant from Murfreesboro. It was bitter cold and the ground covered with snow. Here they remained until 6 p. m. on the 6th, when, by a night march, they crossed the Cumberland river five miles below Hartsville by daylight, and shortly after sunrise were in posit

During the early months of 1865 he continued in command of his brigade, and was ordered to Selma, Ala., March 23d, where he and his men participated in the gallant defense against the overwhelming forces of Gen. James H. Wilson, on April 2, 1865. At the last he was in command of the Mississippi division of cavalry, with headquarters at Macon. Major-General William Brimage Bate Major-General William Brimage Bate was born near Castalian Springs, Tenn., in the year 1830. Early in his youth he manifested a bold and adventurous spirit that characterized his career as a Confederate soldier. Leaving school to become a clerk on a steamboat plying between Nashville and New Orleans, he subsequently enlisted for the Mexican war and served as a private in a Louisiana and a Tennessee regiment. On his return to Tennessee he was elected to the legislature by his admiring friends in his native county, and after this he began the study of la

th a party of Confederate troopers who had captured a Federal convoy. On perceiving these movements, which denoted fresh activity and improved organization on the part of the Federals, Morgan could not remain inactive. He took the field, and commenced his operations by one of those fortunate bold strokes which he knew so well how to conceive, and always executed with so much audacity. The Federal division of Dumont, of Thomas' corps, was stationed at Gallatin and in the village of Castalian Springs, where it covered the right bank of the Cumberland. In order to accomplish his task most thoroughly, Dumont sent about two thousand men, under Colonel Moore, to occupy Hartsville, an important crossing of the Cumberland, of which the Confederates had already many times availed themselves in their incursions on the right bank of the river. The village of Hartsville is situated about two kilometres north of the right bank; it is separated from it by a rather steep hill, the approaches
