ARMY L!FE. Account of Company B Since their Encampment at Chicamauga. It was slightly raining on the mornof May 16, but we had orders by 10 a. m.* to empty ticks, after which the stakes were pulled all except enough to hold the tents in place, and at 12 in. we ate our last meal at Camp Mount. At 2:30 you could see two men at the end of each tent holding it in place and a drummer standing before the colors and the bugler blowing retreat, after the last note of the call the drummer gave the drum one lick and all the tents as if pulled down by one hand fell to the ground and a cry went up from the 160th | regiment I. V. I. The white city fairly well presented an ant hill which had . been uncapped. Charles Helm visit-' ed us in the forenoon. The best attended drill we had i while in Camp Mount was when we fell in to march to headquarters to receive our pay from the state for services rendered as I. N. G.,s. Every man came forward when his name was called and each having been recognized by his commanding officer received his cash, except \\ illiams, the cook. After we received our pay we marched toward the gate opening I to the Monon R. R. and after quite a : tiresome halt during which time we ■ were presented with a tin cup, knife and fork and a spoon by Governor Mount to be used on our trip to Chickamauga. We were then given about j a pint of well, some said it was “hot dish water - ’ others said they boiled the dish rag and threw it down and presented bottles which contained a stronger stimulant. After another halt during which time there was many tears shed by friends and soldiers, we boarded the train for Cincinnati. The 160th regiment was divided into four division four passenger and one freight train. Co. B loaded on the third division and we started for the Sunny South. As we pulled around Indianapolis every person who could assemble at the railroad waved the colors and gave hurahs for the soldiers. When we left the city limits and dark came on we settled down to rest, but there was no rest, for as we approached each village or citv we were arroused by blowing of whistles, ringing of bells and roaring of anvils and cannon, and when we stopped at Rushville, Ind., we were greeted by thousands of people who had assembled early in the day to wait for us. Every one wished either our a Idress or a relic to remember the event by. Many of the boys took from their co Is the brass buttons and presented them, especially to the young ladies who threw flowers to the boys in great quantities. Every place sent up fireworks and presented the boys with all sorts of drinks and eatibles to the extent that the boys felt the effects of it the next day. When we pulled into Cincinnati at 1 a. m., the whistles on hundreds of locomotives belched forth the news and it was taken up by all the whistles in the [ city. We were not long in being I transferred to the Cincinnati Southern lu R., and as daylight came soon after v.e left the yards the boys were pres mted with one of the most beautiful 1 mdseapes ever witnessed by the human eye. The train sped along through great stretches of rolling land covered with beautiful farms until we halted at Lexington. Soon afterwards we were given a slice of canned ! ;ef. a piece of bread and a spoonful < f beans, as we approached High 1 Bridge, the next to the highest in ! :e United States, we were switched ! > let one of the returning trains pass. 1 When we pulled acrossed the bridge 1 i a were moving very slow and had a i good view of the structure. Many heads were pulled inside the windows 1 a ; if they did not care to know how ’ 1 igh they were. High Bridge is 286 I i-et above water. The train having 1 < rossed all O. K. the boys then 1 1 egan their usual complimentary talk > i f the country and all were jolly. We ' i lade a short stop at Junction City i . nd then many experienced another 1 eling of fear. King’s mountain tun- ' i 1 is 3984 feet long and the train j r.oves at a slow rate of speed Alien • I assing under the 1287 feet of earth ; i.bove the track. When we rushed ' i ito the darkness everything was as quiet as death and not until daylight i < ame was there much stir. After the 1 first experience and all found them- < s ‘lves as safe as liefore, there was a i continual squall of ••tunnel" and the i ' racking of windows going up and I down to keep the stfroke out and to i let the heads bob out again when we w re through. We passed through 27 i tunnels before we reached Emry Gap. At Somerset we were marched out 1 upon the platform and received a cup i of coffee each. Some .of the boys ; wanted something else and whilejthey Ta- in the stores buving it the train I; pulled out and lef Sam Railing, Dan i Railing and Louis Sampson in the b

city, but as the fourth section of the train camo behind us the boys boarded ■ it and Major Miller, after confiscating ■ some of the boy’s goods let them ride and they joined us again at Chatta1 nooga. When the train stopped in , the city yards the boys waited until , roll call and orders were given to i "turn in" and then they turned out , and took in the city, or at least they . “took in" as much as they could carry. As the boys returned to their sleeping quarters they found that the • train had moved and they had quite a ■ hunt among the many tracks until some found our section away down in ■ the Chickamauga yards. Some of the boys never found the train until j they came to the camp and joined us lin our march through the reverenced i grounds. Thirty-four years ago “Fighting j Joe" Hooker and his troops toiled up | the rugged sides of Lookout Mountain to engage the confederate forces in the renowned battle above the clouds. Today our boys have their choice of these railway lines by which to reach the splendid hotels and delightful drives to be found on the summit, and yet I expect some kickers would kick if ordered to the summit although there are no opposing j forces now. Lookout Mountain, 2150 feet high. lis but a link in the chain of wonder- ' ful scenery and historic decorations ; which go hand in hand all along our course until we reached the ground I where the great battle of Chickamauga was fought. The ground covered by this great battlefield has been converted into a national military park. The park is not one in the usual sense, but is rather a preservation of the old land marks, the field being restored as nearly as posible to its condition at the time of the battle, showing battle lines, old roads, etc.! Cannon are placed as nearly as possi-I ble, showing the position of the bat-i teries in the battle. Magnificent | monuments mark the positions of all ; the government or state troops, the simple “U” or “C” denoting the blue or gray and over all the government keeps a watchful care, and has built some 60 miles of the finest boulevards in America. The only objection in camping in the park at present seems to be the water supply, especially Indiana’s boys have not suffered for want of water but have been well supplied. but they have done some great big kicking because they must go so far to get their supply. When we were drawn over the 12 miles of rail to the depot at Sitel. where we were unloaded and fell in and marched to the eastern side of the park where we have very beautiful and shady quarters. As evening came on the tents were got in readiness and as taps were sounded all I were present excent those on duty. When we went to bed we just threw our blankets on the ground and lay down to rest along with those who never wake and perchance many of ■ . the boys have fathers or brothers who 1 lie beneath the sod on which we slept. ! The spirits of the ones gone before never bothered any as all slept well and awoke early next morning with renewed vigor and proceeded to clean up the quarters. During the evening of our arrival the boys had quite an extended rabbit chase and the poor animal was taken in and put down below. Many of the boys did the wise thing and sent most of their money home by postoffice money or- i der to their friends. Many have an eye open for relics, and a few have < picked up some very fine specimens. ; Major Backman found an ounce ball, 1 John Ault an exploded four inch shell, Lewis Andrews a grape shot . and many others. The boys are all ’ well, but many have had nothing issued by the state or government and their clothing and shoes are in a very ( bad condition and many complaints are , made when the boys appear in ranks j for dress parade, but the command- , ing officers have begun to get tired of |. the delay of necessary equipments j and are not so particular with us. | Col. Gunder inspected our quarters < Friday morning and all the quarters 1 passed very well. Wash Barrel fell i “dead" on guard duty -dead drunk. < and was conducted to the guard house f Thursday evening. No court martial yet, cannot say as to the sentence. 1 Some of the guards have lieen taking ] too many tips from "guard line push-1 < ers” and" they will have to have an 1t example to follow and we expect the 1 1 sentence will lie pretty severe. In j 1 time of action the sentence would undoubtedly lie death. < The weather here is very nice, not . too warm and very breezy. Roman Barthol received quite a rap across , the nose with a gun accidentally in a ; scuffle and wore and artificial bridge , across it for a while. George Conrad , has a very sore hand caused by a , gathering on the palm side on the left . hand. He had it lanced Thursday j evening. William Foreman has been j

promoted to “mule whacker" and has control —or tries to have, of the four mules allotted to Co. B. They are the finest mules in the eamp and M ill says he will manage them. After a drill the leaves in the woods look as if wild turkeys had scratched them about in searchof food, but the scratch ing was doin' by the soldiers in search of relics during rest. Many of the boys are of the opinion that Georgia weather beats Indiana weather, yet they have not experienced a very long seige of the southern clime. We are coming gradually to the disciplinary military rule, and many who were of the wildest nature are now quiet boys. Some of our boys went into a farmer’s wood pile and got the captain into a 50c muss. M ash Burrel was called before the colonel Thursday, and given three days extra duty. Our water supply was increased somewhat by “Whiskers having excavated a well into which a spring runs and affords us water not so far to carry, yet a detail of four or five men are needed to carry it. Mail at camp was scarce until Thursday, when the mail forwarded from Indianapolis arrived. The boys are wild when some one reads or even shows a letter from Indiana. The song "My Old Kentucky Home." is quite popular here and is translated to almost any “home” within the songsters mind while he repeats the original words with his lips. Many of the boys when they get a chance lean against a cannon or a monument and thinking of home and the possible danger of some of their home friends, especially the “veteran" friends during the late war, shed tears, and although they try to hide it, are often caught in such attitudes of mind and body. Friday was quite warm and two boys fainted in ranks during dress parade. The colonel let all companies have a swim. The boys were marched to and from the creek and roll called at both ends. None were allowed to get away. A squad came in too late for drill and the captain was consequently “called down.” We have made requisition for new uniforms and expect to receive them soon. Many are very scant of clothing. It is said several spies have been found among our company and all strangers are closely watched. A guard gave a man the “halt" in shape of a bullet which resulted in a hip flesh wound. He was a member of the guard’s company. None of our company have been out at night since. We have been sleeping on matter earth’s bare bosom, but the officers took pity and we now sleep on straw.

Sunday Co. B's quarters passed inspection and was highly complemented by his honor. After inspection the j companies were all marched before I our chaplain’s quarters, where we list eued to a short scripture lesson, and after prayer the chaplain gave us an encouraging, instructive and interest- ’ ing talk, principally upon developing ; the good in ourselves rather than practicing the bad habits of life. We might sum up his talk in Sam Jones' saying, ‘‘quit your meanness and be good.” Our chaplain, Rev. Welford Weaver, is a Christian man in every respect, and is working for the betterment of the social and religious lives of the men here. He is striving to obtain a canvas, seated and provided with tables and suitable literature for a Sunday school, prayer-meeting, reading and writing room for the boys during leisure moments. Every city from which the respective companies of the 160tli regiment comes will be asked to donate SIS toward the cause. S. C. Niman is still with us, doing a land office business as regimental sutler. He is the only sutler allowed within our regimental lines. Rain on Monday stopped all drills. We were issued one pair each of leggins, hose and trousers. Many of the trousers fit very quick, as they were issued according to numbers instead of waist measurement, and you could see the long man in short trousers and the short man in long trousers. But by trading and with the assistance of our company tailor. J. M. Russell, we hade missfits fit. It took our entire regiment to capture a fox squirrel the other evening, which created great sport. Those reported on the sick list up to Tuesday are Jason Baker, R. T. Bobo, Roman Barthel, Frank' Gessinger, Frank Peterson, Chas. Woodward and G. F. Reed who are all able to perform all duties within the quarters but are excused from drills. There are but two who have been excused from all work and they are H. Ashbaucher and George Conrad. As the boys were going through with the l>attallion drill Wednesday, a very black cloud appeared in the north and recall was sounded for the return when the boys came in on the double quick, but a slight shower was all we were favored with. Water here is a scarcity but the 160th is now having a well drilled. No one has suffered on account of a lack of water but there is not enough to afford washing water and some of the boys look a little foggy. Many of the toys sent their citizens clothes home Wednesday and all who have friends in Co. B, 160th, should call at the Democrat office and inquire for a package as the whole was sent to the editor of the Democrat. Thursday your correspondent was detailed to see the goods sent home billed out and therefore had the pleasure of a twenty-four miles ride on one of the army wagons and also the facing of badly rushed freight agents. While in the city I spoke with several business men and all seem to think that the mobilization of the United States troops here is quite a Ix-nefit to Chattanooga and vicinity. The citizens are very clever and accomodating though of course as is the usual case they are trying to make as much money as possible out of the rush but

none of them charge extravagant prices. A trip of twenty-four miles here is not s > easily piloted through on account of the many bends m he roads. They bend up. down, to the left and to the right with branches coming in from all directions, on ac count of which the aforesaid uagon train returned to the 1< >th regimen s quarters at 3:00 o’clock a. m. Ar lie De Voss is detailed as cler.t at bugadi headquarters until further orders am Craig Miller is detailed as hospi a steward at the regimental hospital until further ordered. Co. B,generd. y has her share of detai s and Sergeant Meyers savs he thinks he shad jus. march the entire company to Col. Guilder’s quarters and let his honor appoint a place for each man. Fridav morning the camp looked well for inspection but instead of inspection as we expected we were led about one mile joining the other two regiments of our brigade and after marching about one-half mile farchei we were marched upon cleared ground and all passed inspection with two other brigades. The whole division passed in review which took three hours and as the weather was warm and water scarce in the lines some ot the boys fell out but were brought home by R. S. Peterson who gives all the weak ones a free ride behind his four fine mules. If the sick are not as badly shaken up when Bob gets them in camp as they would have been had they walked, it isn’t Bob s fault. No one is excused from drills unless the doctors write an excuse for him. Many of us don t care for the drill, but we do not like to drill three hours without water beneath this southern sun and then when we do come home find no water. Dress parade was the only drill we had Friday afternoon. We were called out Saturday morning at 4:30 and to mess at 5:00 and at 9:00 we fell in for another long walk. We had quite a good sham battle but the greater part of the troops had no guns and therefore it looked more likea fox hunt than a sham battle. We returned to our quarters at 10:00 o’clock and rested until 2:00 o’clock when we had inspection of quarters. Vaccination is next in order as every man in camp must be vaccinated. All are well so far as serious sickness is concerned. E. B. Macy. Another Letter From Tampa. Headquarters United States Army. Tampa, Fla., May 28, 1898. Waiting, wondering, discussing whether the situation we now occupy will ever be changed, we think not untill the volunteer regiments are thoroughly organized, which will lie soon. Then again we think we will not invade Cuba until the rainy season is over which will be alwut October. It has set in now and is very bad in Cuba during the summer season. They are making all preparations here, however. There are now here sixteen regiments of regular infantry, four of cavalry, twelve batteries of artillery and still they are coming, besides the volunteers who are coming in about as fast as they can get transportation, and they have got the railroads almost blockaded as far as freight is concerned, except government sup plies. The government has rented almost every ware house in the city for storage rooms. Tampa is a city of about twenty-seven thousand inhabitants and is now swelled over twothirds her former population or to nearly fifty-thousand making quite a lively place. One can go any way from Tampa and find the white canvas tents, American and regimental flags blowing in the breeze and while in the city you can find both the American and Cuban flags. On down a little further towards the bay or at Port Tampa, eight miles southwest of here, they are now taking the heavy siege guns and heavy artillery and quite a good many soldiers. The government transports are lying in the harbor for the conveyance of our army and supplies to Cuba with steam up and ready to sail at a moment’s notice in ease that the order should come to invade Cuba, although it will not prolmbly lie soon. There has been one expedition to Cuba composed of two companies of the First Infantry. They landed but had to retreat after killing one Spanish officer and taking his sword and revolver and they don’t know how many more Spaniards were killed. They left one man killed and two wounded. We liave drill every morning from seven until eight or nine o’clock and some times longer; all depends upon the kind of drill we have, if it is company drill it lasts one hour, and if it is battailion or regimental drill it generally lasts two hours and if it is brigade drill it lasts longer. When you hear of a yellow leg you may know he belongs' to the cavalry, artillery are red legs, and infantry are doe boys, the blue jacket is the sailor, and the marine is the doe boy aboard ship, then we have the engineer corps and they are the fellows that plant the torpedos and mines, the signal corps has charge of the flags, torches, heliograph °and many other instruments with which to convey messages from one armv corps or division to another and the hospital corps takes care of the sick and wounded. In next week’s issue of the Democrat I will give you a minute description of the manner in which the kitchen is taken care of and army cooking done of which our read ers w ould like to know and also a description of our famous Krag-Jorgsen rifles which are a wonder of the a<re G. W.'j.’
