he preliminary movements and preparations. Assuming command of the army at Louisville on the twenty-seventh day of October, it was found concentrated at Bowling Green and Glasgow, distant about one hundred and thirteen miles from Louisville, whence, after replenishing with ammunition, supplies and clothing, they moved on to Nashe seventh of November, a distance of one hundred and eighty-three miles from Louisville. At this distance from my base of supplies, the first thing to be done waseviously occupied. The hardships, privations, and exposure in the march from Louisville to Crab Orchard, and thence to Nashville, have been regarded nearly unendurab the general health of the men has been better than at any time since we left Louisville. While I have such occasion to commend the fidelity, bravery, and good conduorce from the old army of the Mississippi, and the reenforcements received at Louisville in September, new troops in their first campaign.

nts, and was by him notified that (2) two strong regiments of infantry had been ordered under command of Col. Henderson to join me, and would be at Lebanon on the third. I then despatched Gen. Boyle, in anticipation of such reenforcements, suggesting the propriety of halting the Thirty-fourth brigade, which had been ordered to Lebanon, at Muldrow's Hill. Receiving no answer to this despatch, in consequence, I presume, of an interruption in telegraphic communication between this place and Louisville, the brigade joined me on the morning of the twenty-ninth. On that morning I sent out a scouting-party of twenty-five men under command of Lieut. Porter, of the Ninth Kentucky cavalry, with orders to proceed in the direction of New-Haven and Bardstown until he could learn some-thing definite of Morgan's force and movements. I had also sent out a single and reliable citizen scout with similar instructions. On the morning of the third the citizen returned to camp with intelligence that he

g, in common with the whole regiment, that we should spend many months in Nashville, the order came at three o'clock P. M. on that day, that we must march for Louisville, Ky., in one hour, with five days rations in our haversacks, leaving our tents all standing. This order came like a thunderbolt upon us. But such a folding of bes. But all this was endured with that patriotic, soldierly bearing which is the pride of our American army. September 27th.--In thirteen days we arrived at Louisville. When actually marching — for we made a few halts for a part or all of a day — we varied from twenty to thirty miles per day in making the two hundred miles from one city to the other. After spending three days in Louisville, in receiving rations, clothing, and a payment, we left that city as we came, with thousands of others in pursuit of the enemy. We cannot forbear mentioning two or three incidents, which occurred in that pursuit, that are especially associated with this regiment

ible dereliction, one that would be known to the officer under whose command I was, one calling for exemplary punishment, and yet the officer then in command at Louisville has never intimated to me, nor has any one else, that I was to blame in the matter. I was as much to blame as if I had been at the north pole, no more. The ca did not arrive until the afternoon of the next day after leaving Lebanon. It took my men pretty well toward morning to unload the cars, to let them proceed to Louisville. These trains were the last that ever crossed that bridge. It was reduced to ashes early that morning, before the morning train from Louisville arrived; indeeLouisville arrived; indeed, I do not know that that train started out. After the bridge had been destroyed, and the prisoners captured and paroled, a messenger left the neighborhood and came down to Lebanon Junction, and communicated the fact to me. I never saw an officer or man of the captured after they arrived in Kentucky--the word did not come from th

a, were, after frequent successful skirmishes with Bragg's rear-guard, detailed to guard the immense wagon-train of Buell's army through from the Green River to Louisville. Buell in this, as in other parts of his Kentucky campaign, showed great strategy, and made a complete success. He knew that the enemy would watch for this trook's brigade of cavalry to scout the road continually from Elizabethtown to Munfordville, covering the vast train, as it passed safely through Litchfield on to Louisville, without ever being even seen by the enemy. While scouting here on the road, and skirmishing with the enemy over toward Bardstown, covering the train and rear g his hands in utter despair, the poor Georgian exclaimed: Good heavens! Then we are gone. They were marched over to Elizabethtown, and from thence sent on to Louisville, and I suppose have long since been exchanged. We can but wish them health and prosperity, as they were a fine-looking set of men, and we wish them a like good

condemning me for surrendering. They know nothing about it, and should at least withhold censure until they can get all the evidence in the case. The Louisville Journal notifies its readers that I made a speech in front of the Galt House, in Louisville, in which I said I wanted to find Morgan. This is false in every respect. I never made a speech in Louisville of any kind. I never saw either editors of the Journal, to my knowledge; nor do I think that they ever saw me. I think Mr. PrenticeLouisville of any kind. I never saw either editors of the Journal, to my knowledge; nor do I think that they ever saw me. I think Mr. Prentice will retract what he has published, for I do assure you he is entirely mistaken. I have always been at my post, and to this General Dumont will certainly testify. I have not been long in the service, and do not make any pretensions as a military man, and never did; but since being in the Army I have tried to do my duty, and I have never disobeyed an order. I have been told by some of the Federal soldiers captured at Murfreesboro, that it was reported that a negro had came to my lines and n

and telegraphed to Gen. Boyle the condition of the guns and the want of ammunition. I sent despatches frequently, but could get no answer from the operator in Louisville to the call of the operator at this point, during the afternoon of the twenty-fifth, until too late to effect any thing by trains from Louisville. I also telegLouisville. I also telegraphed that it was Morgan's design to attack the tunnel and the works beyond. At nine o'clock P. M., the twenty-fifth, scouts brought the information that one hundred of the enemy were crossing the river at Burnt Bridge Ford. This was confirmed during the night by reports that the whole force was crossing and moving in the diran's brigade, with a battery and the Twelfth Kentucky cavalry passed through in pursuit. We have since heard of some skirmishing, but nothing reliable. Union. Louisville, December 30, 1862. I have just had the pleasure of conversing with several officers who participated in the fight at Elizabethtown on the twenty-seventh. F

every thing was ready, and the Louisville, Baron de Kalb, and Cincinnati advanced to within four hundred yards of the Fort, which then opened fire from their heavy guns, and eight rifled guns and musketry. The superiority of our fire was soon manifested. The batteries were silenced, and we ceased firing; but no assault took place, and it being too dark to do any thing, all the vessels dropped down and tied up to the bank for the night. The Baron De Kalb, Lieutenant Commanding Walker; Louisville, Lieutenant Commanding Owen; and the Cincinnati, Lieutenant Commanding Bache, led the attack, and when hotly engaged I brought up the light-draft vessels, the Lexington and Black Hawk, to throw in shrapnel and rifle-shell. The fire was very destructive, killing nearly all the artillery horses in and about the fort. When the battery was pretty well silenced, I ordered Lieutenant Commanding Smith to pass the Fort in the light-draft iron-clad Rattler, and enfilade it, which he did in a ve

I deemed the terms mild, unde reported by telegraph to Major Sidell, who ordered me to proceed on as rapidly as possible to Louisville, and report to Generals Boyle or Wright. This I did, and the inclosed papers will explain the the steamers Hastings and Trio, I left Nashville to assist in getting the steamers through to Louisville. Before starting I heard several insinuations that the guerillas would resist our passage, bu hundred and eleven bales of cotton that were on the deck of the Hastings, upon our arrival at Louisville. The terms were severe, and Wade would listen to no other; and on my failing to comply with turther than the terms called for. The penalty for failing to burn the cotton on our arrival at Louisville was the simple surrender of unworthy self to the confederate authorities; a small penalty, con
