soldier It is more liberal to its defenders than any other Govern- ment ¬ on earth But conceding all this it docs not follow that it is doing all that it ought to do There are but comparatively few men even among those whose vitality has not been Impaired by the hardships and In- juries ¬ of military service whoso bread- - winning ability has not deteriorated And when we consider the terrible strain of such active service as that which fell ti the lotof the soldier dur- ing ¬ a period of from two to four years could any other rsult be looked for but that there are compHratlvely few who are not practically physical wrecks at the ago of 75 7 There are thousands of soldiers who have reached the aeeof 75 who are re ceiving less than20 per month Every one knows that 20 per month will not decently provide f6r the needs of even two persons I frequently hear such re- marks ¬ as this i am getting so old and broken down that I am able to do but very little work or keep up my business and I am not getting pension enough to meet my heeds and I dont know what In the wdrld I am going to do and as I note their sad anxious lookmynieart aches for them The bill now before Congress pro posing to fix the rate at 20 per month at 75 years of age ought to be amended so as to read 25 That amount with proper economy would fairly support a veteran and his wife and would drive away the financial blues which darken the lives of so many veterans and would add but a few thousands of dol- lars ¬ to the pension expenses Geo E Place Co B 12th N H C03svllle NH Ienalon for Ex Prlaoners of War Editor National Tribune If there Is a just deserving and well earned pension due any particular class of sol- diers ¬ of tho civil war the ex prisoners undoubtedly belong to that class Their sufferings and privations were without comprehension except by themselves The young people who have read his ¬ tories of prison life often ask if such history Is true and when told that words cannot express those horrors they seem surprised that any of them survived Many prisoners were deprived of promotion on account of being prison- ers ¬ The pension bill Introduced by Congressman Hamilton of Michigan would only be a partial compensation to these soldiers as a money considera- tion ¬ cannot return to the prisoner his lost health and broken constitution All ex prlsoncrs should urge the pas sago of this bill insist that it be taken up and not allowed to die In the hands of the Penilon Committee as all bills of a similar character have dono hereto- fore ¬ Comrades now Is our time to Insist on justice

morning This probably occupied be- tween ¬ two and three hourj and was all over between 9 and 10 oclock Sheridan Beeomes the Storm Center The enemy encountered a far sterner resistance when he began the work of doubling and roiling back Sheridans Division as he had Johnson s and Da viss Sheridan had feared Just such from the first and had been preparing for it The bloody repulse of the ear Her attacks has been recounted Har dees men flushed with victory and double In numbers to those under Sheri- dan ¬ were now sweeping In a wide cir- cle ¬ to Sheridans right as they drove Johnsons and Daviss men back to the railroad Hardee recalled Cleburne from the pursuit to attack Sheridans right while McCown Withers and Cheatham renew the attack In front Sheridan saw his danger and sending Robertss Brigade in upon a charge against the nearest Confederates with ¬ drew his line under the cover of thl3 to a limestone ridge covered with cedars and nearly at right angles to his first position He hoped that Rosecrans would rush forward men to cover his right flank At this point Daviss and Johnsons men were rallied in some numbers but many of them continued their retreat until they came to Thom- ass ¬ line In the center Sheridan soon saw that this new posltlSn was not long tenable since the enemy continuing the turning movement were directing Cheathams Division upon the Griscom house which would take Sheridans line in the rear Then Sheridan moved off to the left and took up a position on the right of Negleys Division which had up to this time not been attacked Sheridans new position was a low ridge of limestone which faced nearly south of Murfreesboro His right faced nearly west along the edge of a cedar thicket and was almost directly opposite the line which he had so con fldently assumed in the morning This new lino was hardly taken up when Hardee arriving with Cheatham s DI vision began an immedlato attack to paralyze the efforts for reforming and continue the work of destruction and demoralization An assault exceeding in bloodiness and obstinacy even those which had preceded it now ensued with the dogged determination of the enemy to complete his work nnd Insure the complete destruction of the Union army Every available man was brought up even reinforcements from Breckinridge across the river All the artillery the rebels could bring to bear openeu fire even gun3 from Murfrees boro across the river They ran their artillery up to within 200 yards of the Union artillery and the duels between the two arrays of guns were desperate to the last degree Gen Hardee was a most resolute pounder In battle and now he felt that the fate of the Confed eracy was resting upon him He was met by no less fiery determination or the part of Sheridan and his men who est demoralization since they had re treat had done so without the slight est demoralization since they had re- pulsed ¬ every attack upon their front and only fell back when their flank had been turned Every one of Hardees rapid assaults was repulsed and It soon hammer who gone to- - suffering worse than the anvil and that the rebel morale was wearing Itself out But every brigade commander In Sher- idans ¬ Division been killed and one brigade had lost two commanders slain Rosecrans sent messages to Sheridan to hold on like grim death until a new line could be formed Eighty of the horses of Houghtalings Battery had been killed and most all of Hescocks horses Sherldan3 ammunition was ex- hausted ¬ and as soon as he learned that Rousseau had formed a new line he sullenly wfthdrew leaving behind him eight pieces of artillery which he had not horses to remove or which had be- come ¬ hopelessly entangled In the cedar thickets Host Itonecrnna rtecel ed the Nesru W D B of the Cincinnati

between the tents were clad In overcoats for it was chill Tho General Com manding Garesche and Gen Critten- den ¬ stood near the marquee conversing eagerly It was nearly 7 oclock Sud denly all hearts were by a sound sweeping from the right like a strong wind soughing through the for ¬ est Now a deep reverberation like thunder rolling In a distant cloud Di rectly a prolonged fierce crepitating noise like a canebrake on fire Ears that once hear that appalling sound never forget it Days afterward the rattle and rumble of a wagon will star ¬ tle and thrill you The din of battle swelled rapidly Its volume Increased It seemed sweep- ing ¬ nearer clearer deadlier than be fore It could not be This must be hallucination It cannot be disaster No tidings yet Wiles and a comrade were sent to right to observe and report They galloped across the fields and plunged Into the forests Directly a tide of fugitives poured out of the thickets negroes teamsters and some soldiers You have seen cinders from burning buildings flying when the con- flagration ¬ was invisible You could hear the roaring flames crackling beams You have said There is a fire have observed broken twigs and whirling In the air and though you had not felt the blast you said A tornado is coming There was a conflagration a tornado now rushing through the forests In front raging for- ward ¬ with vengeful fury These team-

cocked pistol brings a squad to a halt Wo are beaten The Right Wing is broken The rebel cav airy Is charging the rear The enemy Is sweeping everything them Gen Sill Is killed Edgartons Battery part of Goodspeeds are captured Incredible But few soldiers thank God and most of them cling to their muskets Wiles gallops back to report Straggling multitudes appear The aw ful uproar increases and stretches now to the left Bullets are clipping the twigs overhead and chipping the bark from the trees Heavy drops which precede a thunderstorm seem to be dropping on the dead leaves At headquarters the groups have gathered Into a cluster They are talking in low eager tones tneir eyes search ingly peering Into the forests The Chief stalks through the avenue dis ¬ turbed obviously It does not seem to him nor to anyone McCook Is con testing that ground inch by inch But sound is elusive Minutes seemed hours rolled away Suspense was hor rible As yet only reports that woods were swarming with fugitives Who give credence to stragglers against good scldlers McCook is an approved good soldier Tho army has no better Generals than his Johnson Davis Sherida i Willlch Kirk Carlln Sill Schaeffer Roberts The soldiers of the Right Wing are veterans of Shlloh and Chaplin Hills some had met the enemy in Western Virginia some at bloody Pea Ridge and never turned their faces from the foe Garesche had sent Otis to the right to watch the rebel cavalry Lieut Ba ¬ ker gallops back from Otis with tid ¬ ings The Right Wing Is broken and the enemy Is driving it back Incred- ible ¬ McCook is surely falling back with an object All right nevei mind we wlU rectify It said the Gen- eral ¬ cheerfully Stragglers were over- flowing ¬ the plain the Murfreesboro Pike like a freshet within an hour from the opening of the battle A staff offi- - cer from McCook confirmi the evil ru- - mors McCook needs assistance Tell Gen McCook said the Chief vehem ¬ ently to contest every Inch of ground It he holds them we will swing Into Murfreesboro with our left and cut them off Then to his staff It Is working right Alas It was not work ing right Every inch of ground was not contested He did not yet know or the rout of Willichs and Kirks Bri gades nor of the rapid withdrawal of Davis s Division The reported death of Sill was con- firmed ¬ We cannot help It brave men must be killed in battle said the General Impatiently Col Kirk Is wounded and disabled Willlch killed or captured Never mind persisted the inflexible leader we must win this battle Battle was flowing along the line communicating first with the Center then the Left The frightful delusion was entirely dissipated The enemy was pressing McCook swiftly and In disorder back upon the Center Neg ley was already engaged An Aid from McCook advises that Rousseau be held In hand What Reserves so soon Tell Gen McCook I will help him was the instant reply and Rous- seau ¬ marched at double quick Into the cedar brakes on Npgleys right to brace up Sheridan and stand as a breakwater the torrent that was engulllng the army It was full time The plan of battle Is crippled The Right Wing fails to hold Hardee three hours nay even an hour on Its right Therefore the Left Wing cannot swing Into Murfreesboro and cut them off A third of the Left Wing is absolutely necessary to save the Right from an nihilation Van Cleve Is already cross Ing

is not yet 8 oclock The battle Is all against us When the llattle Wan Two Hours Old It was 9 oclock when Anderson be- gan ¬ the renewed attack upon Sheridan One of his brigades had led off In an attack on Negley on Sheridans left but was received with such a terrific fire of artillery and infantry from the men who had been waiting so long for tho tide of battle to reach them that it recoiled In utter confusion In a few minutes one of Its regiments the 13th Miss lost 62 killed and 132 wounded out of the 400 It carried into action This Is a sample of the deadlines of the fighting all along the line Again Sheridan handled hi3 division In the most masterly manner His well placed batteries enfiladed Mc- Cown ¬ and for half an hour he battered Hardees heavy columns so mercilessly that Hardee recoiled and sent word to Bragg that he must help by attacking along tne whole rront and Bragg also began bringing more men from the oth er side of the river Hardee concen- - became evident that the was trated the men had off had They thrilled and the and You leaves before and that that tho will and before ward the left and pushed them beyond Sheridans flank when the latter find ing both Cleburne and Cheatham mass ing upon his flank fell back with a de fiant front to a new and strong position In the cedars with his left connecting with Negley and hi3 right bent back toward the Nashville Pike This made two of his brigades face west with their backs toward Negley while Rob- ertss ¬ Brigade faced south and had in front all of Sheridan s artillery Hardee immediately attacked with the greatest impetuosity for the whole Confederate plan of battle was now at its most critical moment If Hardee could break through Sheridans sadly thinned division he would take both the Center and L ft of the Union army In the rear and its defeat would be im- mediate ¬ and overwhelming For an hour the fighting was fierce and bloody beyond anything earlier In he day Sheridan repulsed every at tack and the hours delay saved the army for Rosecrans was now rushing everybody in reach up to a new line along the Nashvile Road behind Sheri dan s blazing front Sheridan lost the gallant Roberts and Schaeffer who had been such towers of strength to him and fully 1800 killed and wounded His artillery had been wrecked by tho concentrated fire of the Confederate guns but he and his men were still undismayed They were now suffering from an exhaustion of ammunltiqp Whartons cavalry had captured Mccooks ammunition train and there were no more cartridges to be had for either muskets or cannon The last charges upon the line had been met by Sherldans undaunted heroes with countercharges with the bayonet Rosecrans had been galloping back and forth along the Nashville Road and through the fields forming his new line Thomas had pushed forward Rousseau into the cedars behind Sheridan and Rosecrans formed Van Cloves Division on Rousseaus right between the woods and the railroad Harkera Brigade of Woods Division was placed on van Cleves right and Wood with his other two brigades stationed In reserve In the emergency the Engineer Brigade was brought Into lino upon a high knoll on the right to support the ar tillery where it did excellent service About 1030 Sheridan led the rem- nant ¬ of his gallant fighters out of the cedars with empty guns and took up his position on tho right near the rail road Negley was forced back and Polk was beating fiercely upon Palmers Di ¬ vision of Crittendens Corps which had been pushed in on the left of Negley near the Intersection of tne pike and railroad The Pivotal Point of the llattle This position became the pivotal point of the battle Rousseau sent in the Regular Brigade commanded by Col O L Shepherd to establish the right of his line In the cedars and it ran directly Into an overwhelming swarm of rebels pushing forward furi- ously ¬ in pursuit of Sheridan A brief savage fight ensued and Rousseau with drew his men with the Regulars cov- ering ¬ tho movement So critical was tho movement that both Rosecrans and Thomas hurried over to Rousseau to assist him in forming a new line back near the road This was accomplished about 11 o clock and proved to be the turning point of the battle Braggs fierce battle had now reached and passed Its maximum Ho had thrown probably 20000 men on our thin right flank striking and crushing one small division at a time As Mc Cooks whole corps only numbered 15933 effectives when he left Nashville the divisions must have averaged less than 5000 men on the morning of Dec 31 As the battle progressed Brag pushed In his whole force except Breckinridges Division and by 1130 had probably over 40000 men en- gaged ¬ While they had driven lie- - Cooks Corps back two miles captured 28 cannon and thousands of prisoners and Inflicted appalling- - losses in killed and wounded iiraggs men naa suf fered equally frightful losses whole brigades were wrecked beyond any present reorganization They had drifted out of the fight as completely as the remnants of Johnsons and Da viss Divisions Bragg and his com manders were full of nght however They were encouraged by their great successes and had reason to hope that by pushing the battle farther they could corral the Army of tho Cumber land in the bend of Stone River and destroy and capture It To be contjriupd The 130th III

PENSION POINTERS

Inquiries Asswered and

Made

Suggestions

Subscriber Bath N Y To definitelydetermine a soldiers record write tothe Military Secretary War Depart-ment

¬

Washington D CReader Los Angeles Cal The state-

ment¬

that a pension claim Is alwayspending until allowed means that aclaimant can at any time introduce newevidence in support of a rejected claimNo claim is finally rojected if it can beshown that the rejection was not right

W D C Springfield Mo If youreceived your disabilities while servingas a private and your death should bethe result of such disabilities your wifewill receive 12 per month at yourdeath since you were married prior toMarch 19 1886 If your death shouldbe due to other causes her pension willbe 8 per month provided her incomeis less thin J250 per year

J G Hartford Mich It has beenheld by the Pension Bureau that awidow cannot prosecute a claim for In-

crease¬

of pension of her deceased hus ¬

band for a condition alleged to havearisen subsequent to the rejection ofthe claim filed he having made no claimfor same during his lifetime

Subscriber Kansas A decree of di-

vorce¬

that appears to be regular andvalid on Its face Is accepted by thePension Bureau as terminating a mar-riage

¬

contract The validity of the de-

cree¬

is not questioned by the Depart-ment

¬

particularly in claims under theact of March 3 1899 half pay to wivesIf the validity of the decree of divorceIs to be attacked it should be in thecourt where the same was Issued

Legaspi The act of March 19 1386provides that the rate for widows minorchildren and dependent relatives nowon the rolls at a less rate than herein-after

¬

provided shall be 12 per monthand the act further provides that thisshall apply only to widows who mar¬

ried the soldier nrior to March 19 1886It will be noted that this act deals onlywith widows and dependent pensionersthat are receiving less than 12 permonth and docs not affect the rate ailowed officers widows

C II T Ohio No act has beenpassed for the benefit of those who lostlimbs in service since March z iaujAs soon as any bill has been enacted inthe Interest of this class the readers ofThe National Tribune will be advised

Gaul Injury Incurred by a soldierIn confinement undergoing sentence ofa court martial is not considered in lineof dutv and is so held by the PensionBureau It is also doubtful whetherdiseases that first make their appearance while the soldier is in confinementcould be established as having beencontracted in line of duty

A Trying Phone of the Life of the AgeingSoldier

Editor National Tribune The Government has done well Is doing wellfor the old soldier It is more liberalto its defenders than any other Govern-ment

¬

on earth But conceding all thisit docs not follow that it is doing allthat it ought to do

There are but comparatively few meneven among those whose vitality has notbeen Impaired by the hardships and In-

juries¬

of military service whoso bread- -winning ability has not deterioratedAnd when we consider the terriblestrain of such active service as thatwhich fell ti the lotof the soldier dur-ing

¬

a period of from two to four yearscould any other rsult be looked for butthat there are compHratlvely few whoare not practically physical wrecks atthe ago of 75 7

There are thousands of soldiers whohave reached the aeeof 75 who are receiving less than20 per month Everyone knows that 20 per month will notdecently provide f6r the needs of eventwo persons I frequently hear such re-marks

¬

as this i am getting so oldand broken down that I am able to dobut very little work or keep up mybusiness and I am not getting pensionenough to meet my heeds and I dontknow what In the wdrld I am going todo and as I note their sad anxiouslookmynieart aches for them

The bill now before Congress proposing to fix the rate at 20 per monthat 75 years of age ought to be amendedso as to read 25 That amount withproper economy would fairly support aveteran and his wife and would driveaway the financial blues which darkenthe lives of so many veterans andwould add but a few thousands of dol-lars

Ienalon for Ex Prlaoners of WarEditor National Tribune If there

Is a just deserving and well earnedpension due any particular class of sol-diers

¬

of tho civil war the ex prisonersundoubtedly belong to that class Theirsufferings and privations were withoutcomprehension except by themselvesThe young people who have read his ¬

tories of prison life often ask if suchhistory Is true and when told thatwords cannot express those horrorsthey seem surprised that any of themsurvived

Many prisoners were deprived ofpromotion on account of being prison-ers

¬

The pension bill Introduced byCongressman Hamilton of Michiganwould only be a partial compensationto these soldiers as a money considera-tion

¬

cannot return to the prisoner hislost health and broken constitution

All ex prlsoncrs should urge the passago of this bill insist that it be takenup and not allowed to die In the handsof the Penilon Committee as all bills ofa similar character have dono hereto-fore

The reported death of Sill was con-firmed

We cannot help It bravemen must be killed in battle said theGeneral Impatiently Col Kirk Iswounded and disabled Willlch killedor captured Never mind persistedthe inflexible leader we must win thisbattle

Battle was flowing along the linecommunicating first with the Centerthen the Left The frightful delusionwas entirely dissipated The enemywas pressing McCook swiftly and Indisorder back upon the Center Negley was already engaged An Aidfrom McCook advises that Rousseau beheld In hand What Reserves sosoon Tell Gen McCook I will helphim was the instant reply and Rous-seau

the renewed attack upon SheridanOne of his brigades had led off In anattack on Negley on Sheridans leftbut was received with such a terrificfire of artillery and infantry from themen who had been waiting so long fortho tide of battle to reach them that itrecoiled In utter confusion In a fewminutes one of Its regiments the 13thMiss lost 62 killed and 132 woundedout of the 400 It carried into actionThis Is a sample of the deadlines ofthe fighting all along the line

Again Sheridan handled hi3 divisionIn the most masterly manner Hiswell placed batteries enfiladed Mc-Cown

¬

and for half an hour he batteredHardees heavy columns so mercilesslythat Hardee recoiled and sent word toBragg that he must help by attackingalong tne whole rront and Bragg alsobegan bringing more men from the other side of the river Hardee concen- -

¬

Brigade faced south and had infront all of Sheridan s artillery

Hardee immediately attacked withthe greatest impetuosity for the wholeConfederate plan of battle was now atits most critical moment If Hardeecould break through Sheridans sadlythinned division he would take boththe Center and L ft of the Union armyIn the rear and its defeat would be im-mediate

¬

and overwhelmingFor an hour the fighting was fierce

and bloody beyond anything earlier Inhe day Sheridan repulsed every at

tack and the hours delay saved thearmy for Rosecrans was now rushingeverybody in reach up to a new linealong the Nashvile Road behind Sheridan s blazing front

Sheridan lost the gallant Roberts andSchaeffer who had been such towers ofstrength to him and fully 1800 killedand wounded His artillery had beenwrecked by tho concentrated fire ofthe Confederate guns but he and hismen were still undismayed Theywere now suffering from an exhaustionof ammunltiqp Whartons cavalry hadcaptured Mccooks ammunition trainand there were no more cartridges tobe had for either muskets or cannonThe last charges upon the line had beenmet by Sherldans undaunted heroeswith countercharges with the bayonet

Rosecrans had been galloping backand forth along the Nashville Road andthrough the fields forming his new lineThomas had pushed forward Rousseauinto the cedars behind Sheridan andRosecrans formed Van Cloves Divisionon Rousseaus right between the woodsand the railroad Harkera Brigade ofWoods Division was placed on vanCleves right and Wood with his othertwo brigades stationed In reserve Inthe emergency the Engineer Brigadewas brought Into lino upon a highknoll on the right to support the artillery where it did excellent service

About 1030 Sheridan led the rem-nant

¬

of his gallant fighters out of thecedars with empty guns and took uphis position on tho right near the railroad Negley was forced back and Polkwas beating fiercely upon Palmers Di ¬

vision of Crittendens Corps which hadbeen pushed in on the left of Negleynear the Intersection of tne pike andrailroad

The Pivotal Point of the llattleThis position became the pivotal

point of the battle Rousseau sent inthe Regular Brigade commanded byCol O L Shepherd to establish theright of his line In the cedars and itran directly Into an overwhelmingswarm of rebels pushing forward furi-ously

¬

in pursuit of Sheridan A briefsavage fight ensued and Rousseau withdrew his men with the Regulars cov-ering

¬

tho movement So critical wastho movement that both Rosecrans andThomas hurried over to Rousseau toassist him in forming a new line backnear the road This was accomplishedabout 11 o clock and proved to be theturning point of the battle

Braggs fierce battle had now reachedand passed Its maximum Ho hadthrown probably 20000 men on ourthin right flank striking and crushingone small division at a time As McCooks whole corps only numbered15933 effectives when he left Nashvillethe divisions must have averaged lessthan 5000 men on the morning of Dec31 As the battle progressed Bragpushed In his whole force exceptBreckinridges Division and by 1130had probably over 40000 men en-gaged

¬

While they had driven lie- -Cooks Corps back two miles captured28 cannon and thousands of prisonersand Inflicted appalling- - losses in killedand wounded iiraggs men naa suffered equally frightful losses wholebrigades were wrecked beyond anypresent reorganization They haddrifted out of the fight as completelyas the remnants of Johnsons and Daviss Divisions Bragg and his commanders were full of nght howeverThey were encouraged by their greatsuccesses and had reason to hope thatby pushing the battle farther theycould corral the Army of tho Cumberland in the bend of Stone River anddestroy and capture It
