two ob dem. You is jest as big as dey is, and maybe a little bigger. A few miles from here, at a cross roads, is a guideboard: 15 miles to Liberty. If liberty were indeed but fifteen miles away, the stars to-night would see a thousand negroes dancing on the way thither; old men with their wives and bundles; young men with their sweethearts; little barefooted children, all singing in their hearts: De day ob jubilee hab come, ho ho! On the march hither we passed a little, contemptible, tumble-down, seven-by-nine frame school-house. Over the door, in large letters, were the words: Central Academy. The boys laughed and said: If this is called an academy, what sort of things must their common school-houses be? But Tennessee is a beautiful State. All it lacks is free schools and freemen. March, 31 Colonel Keifer, in command of four hundred men, started with ninety wagons for Nashville. He will repair the railroad in two or three places and return with provisions.

s. His own knowledge of the country is thorough, and besides, he has in his command men from every neighborhood, who know not only every road and cow-path in the locality, but every man, woman, and child. The people serve him also, by advising him of all our movements. They guide him to our detachments when they are weak, and warn him away from them when strong. Were the rebel army in Ohio, and as bitterly hated by the people of that State as the Nationals are by those of Kentucky and Tennessee, it would be an easy matter indeed to hang upon the skirts of that army, pick up stragglers, burn bridges, attack wagon trains, and now and then pounce down on an outlying picket and take it in. February, 20 Colonel Lytle, my old brigade commander, called on me to-day. He informed me that he had not been assigned yet. I inferred from this that he thought it utterly impossible for one so distinguished as himself to come down to a regiment. His own regiment, the Tenth Ohio, is here,

n. The season's crop of wheat, corn, oats, and hogs would have been of the utmost value to the Confederate army; when destroyed, there will be nothing in middle Tennessee to tempt it back. July, 7 Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Tennesseeans have deserted from the Southern army and are now wandering about in the mountain success in this department, although attended with little loss of life, has been very gratifying. We have extended our lines over the most productive region of Tennessee, and have possession also of all North Alabama, a rich tract of country, the loss of which must be sorely felt by the rebels. July, 18 To-night I received ce the date. But, d-n me, sir, the paper just come. Go on with the drill, boys. This story was told to illustrate the fact that the people of many counties in Tennessee were behind the times. It would take too much time to refer, even briefly, to all the stories related, and I will allude simply to a London ghost story, whic

gust, 16 We move at ten o'clock A. M. Had a heavy rain yesterday and a fearful wind. The morning, however, is clear, and atmosphere delightful. Our Board has examined one hundred and twenty men. Perhaps forty have been recommended for commissions. The present movement will, doubtless, be a very interesting one. A few days will take us to the Tennessee, and thereafter we shall operate on new ground. Georgia will be within a few miles of us, the longsuffering and long-coveted East Tennessee on our left, Central Alabama to our front and right. A great struggle will undoubtedly soon take place, for it is not possible that the rebels will give us a foothold south of the Tennessee until compelled to do it. August, 21 We are encamped on the banks of Crow creek, three miles northerly from Stevenson. The table on which I write is under the great beech trees. Colonel Hobart is sitting near studying Casey. The light of the new moon is entirely excluded by foliage. On the

It was oss this imaginary line, and draw a man from Tennessee, would be kidnapping, an insult to a sovereilerated. Requisitions from the governors of Tennessee and Georgia might, of course, be procured, by fall.
