Tbe above is the only ref ort I have «ver read of this raid, which bears sbe ieast indication of "official," and now that tbe war is over and officers of tbe line, and even.privates, have the right to •express their opinions of tbe acts, ueeds add exploits of tbeir

superiors,

Stoneman's last fight on this raid dkl not take place at Clinton, as Gen. Sherman has been advised, but at Sunshine Church, some sir or eight miles from Clinton, and bis entire oomraand were engaged in this fieht, and not a force ol "Seven hundred" as Gen. Sherman has been informed, from which the reader can only infer that Col. Adams and Col. Capron had left before the light, which was not the case. After it became evident that we would be com pelled to surrender, Col. Adams went out with his brigade some time before any other attempt was made to follow. 1 was wlthiu ten feet of Stoneman when he dismounted and surrendered to Iverson, aud after tbe 6th Ind. Cavalry bad been called and surrendered I started back to my company determined to go out if possible, (not knowing at k4the time that Col. Adams had gone or that any one bad even thought of attempting such a hazardous undertaking) and helped make arrangements for our escape.

In relation to Col. Capron's attempt to make his escape back to Atlanta, I desire to give a statement as to tbe cause of bis failure. After we bad succeeded in keeping out of reaoh of tbe enemy for near two days and nighto, tbe command was ordered to halt atl Jug Tavern, at 11 o'clock at night, and to unnaddle and lie down and sleep until 2 o'clock in the morning, whereas, had tbe command moved on two or three miles farther and crossed tlie Ocmulgee river and taken up the floor of tbe bridge, not a man would have been lost, and all could have reached our lines in safety. This wsuj evident to many, and I was

dissatisfied with

the orders given by Col. Capron, that I went up to the house where he had stopped, to ask him to move on beyond the river, or to give mo permission to do so. I met Col. Matson, of tbe 6th Ind. Cavalry, an the porch and told him I was going to tako my company beyond the bridge but he said 1 had better not do so without orders, as I would lay myself liable to be court marUaled, and he knew Col. Capron would not consent to such a move. Out of reqpect for obedience and not niy suborfbra in. command at that time, I consented to remain, let the consequences be for weal or for woe. I never had formed a very exalted opinion of CoL Capron'i cniliUtfy ^blllp-, and* fcta

my op could not conjure np auy exc stopping there, unless it was because be wanted something to eat and a bed jbq sleep on. J, ^ifi

OBN. SHERMAN'S REPLY TO OtJR NOTES ON THE .HTONRXAX RAID.

After publishing in tbe Columbus Republican the above criticism on the rn^re mention Uen. Sfoorraan gave the Skmemah Raid, I sent him a marked oopy of the paper, and in a few days afterwards received the following letter:

IXI'TS^ABMV OF TUB UNITKD STATES,

LOUM, MO., JULY

26,1876.

M. JStvmi, GfA Ind. Cavalry

DKARSIB:—I

have roeelved a copy

of the Columbus Republican, containing an account of the Stoneman Raid to Macon, in 1864, for which I am really obliged. In my "Memoirs" I simply, as you truly say, give a "mere mention" of it. Gen. Stoneman was taken prison* er, and made no odtehtl account of ills expedition, and I Hid not attempt a dlscription of it, farther than to show that he did not fulfill my orders, which looked to the destruction of the railroad below Atlanta

first,

and going

afterward

to Maoon and Andersonville to reaoue our prisoners. The letter von wrote home from Naahviile, embodied with the more recent comments, of oourse never before reach* ed my eyee. and the very few facts I give were imparted to me orally by tnen who returned with Capron or Adams, or who escaped from Macon. Men in Macon surely reported that Stoneman had shelled the town, from across the river, but himaeif did. not attempt to croes over.

Qen. Stoneman is now living «t Lot VAngelcw, California, and Col. Capron

and destroyed seventeen locomotives and over a hundred cars then went on and united the division before Macon. Stoneman shelled the town across the river, but ooald not cross over by the bridge, and returned to Clinton, where he found his retreat obstructed, as be supposed, by a superior force. There be became bewildered and sacrificed himself for the safety of bis command. He occupied the attention of his enemy bv a small force of seven hundred men, giving Col, Adams and Capron leave, with their brigades, to cut their way back tto oe at Atlanta. The former react6t ua entirely, but the latter was struck and scattered at someplace farther north, and came in by detachments. Btosesaan surrendered, and remained a prisoner until be was exchanged some Uuae arter late iu September, at Rough and Raady."—Second

without

fear of reprimand or trial by court martial, I reel that it is due to history to give a few fatfts i/j relation tot tne Stoneman raid.

Gen Sbermansays: "Stoneman shelled the town across the river, but could not cross over by the bridge." Not a shell was thrown into Macon, unless a stray shot pissed over the hill while shelliug the enemy out of fho river bottdtn,

#and

that is hardly probable as Macon la situated a hundred feet or more higher than tbe bottom where tbe tight took place. Why could be not "cross over by tbe bridge?" The force defending Macon were raw troops—State Militia—and it did not take us two hours to run the entire force across tbe bridge, which Stoneman could have crossed in safety and captured the two regiments,, liberated our men then in camp Oglethorp, and put arms in every man's bands, as the depot contained 20,000 stand of arms and plenty of amunition. There were also a umber of locomotives and cars at tbe depot, and no indication of steam, troops or guards could be seen in that part of the city. As we stood looking at tbe rebels running across tbe bridge, Captains and Lieutenants wanted to follow, as many firmly believed that two companies could have then and tbere completed tbe work Stoneman was sent to do, and why there was no orders given to cross the bridg never will be .rfatisfaatOFiljt «cown. Many think it was because Stoneman was too incompetent to appreciate the situation.

is in Japan. I am certain that bnth Capron and Adams reported to me that Stonemao gave them leave to work their way back to Atlanta.

The cavalry you fongbt, at or near Clinton, was not" Wheeler's" for Wheel er at that moment was away op near Ressaca and Dalton indeed their absence was tbe "occasion" for sending our cavalry to break up the road.

I am none tbe less obliged for your article, for it is fair, and is slgnded with your name. Others must write the full history of tbe Stoneman Raid, I have not attempted it, only aa an incident to other events connected with It.

CHARLES B. TIDINGS, M. D., SURQBONOK E 9 A A INTERVIEW*!).

Dr. Tidings was also with the squad that run upon the brigade lying at Jug Tavern under command of Col. Capron, and remembered the obarge made by tbeir men upon a small squad pat in line by Maj. O. J. Smith, of the Terre Haute Express, and the editor of tbe Columbus Republican. After Maj. Smith was wounded Dr. Tidings dressed his wound and attended him as far as Antbens, where he left him to be sent to camp Oglethorpe in Macon. Thus we have sufficient evidence to substantiate tbe truth and fairness of tbe notes we took upon the Stoneman raid.

Without the virtue of humility one can neither be honest in povery nor contented in abundance.

It takes less time to get over one's misfortunes than to be reconciled to a neighbor's good fortune.

Not that whiob men do worthily, but that whloh they do suocess/ully, is what history is eager to record.

Tbe only passion which does not blunt is avarice, and which the longer we live only becomes keener.

Tbere is uo stato of life so anxious as that of a man who does not live according to the dictates of bis own reason.

Hard words are like hailstones in beating down and destroying lid nourish if they were

Tbe events we most desire do not happen or, if tbey do, it is neither in the time nor in tbe circumstances when they would have given us extreme pleasure.

Never let a lie go to seed Jin your souls. If you should happen to be tempted into telling a falsehood, let it be pluoked out by a prouder confession ol your fault as quickly as possible.

Life is like a game of chess each one holds this rank according to his quality but, when the game Is over, kings, quedps, knights, and all the rest, are thrown Into one common box.

Yours truly, W. T. SHERMAN.

In August, 1865, while editor of tbe Columbus Republican, I joined the editorial excursion to the Mammoth Cave, and on my return, wrote the following

INTERVIEW WITH DR. TIDINGS.13?1

While lying at Lebanon Junction, Ky., waiting fqr a train to the Mam mouth Cave, we une introduction to D., who was surgeon or the 9tb Ky. Cavalry, commanded by Col. W. C. P. Breckinridge. We found the doctor to be a gentleman in every respect, and on conversing with him soon learned that be knew something about tbe Stoneman raid to Maoon, Ga. He said the entire command that fought Stoneman at Sunshine, or Bethel Church belonged to Wheeler, and that they bad but 1,200 men in that engagement. He also said emphatically that one company of Stoneman's command could have entered Macon and liberated all the prisoners tbere, because state milita would not fight. He a|p said not a shell was thrown into Macon, as some of their command were in the city the next day after the fight at Sunshine Church and they did notjtaear a word of shelling the town.

Several evenings since I w«a attacked with a severe dental neuvaigia. After resorting to friction, cold, and hot applioitions, Ac, without obtaining any relief, I lay upon my feed trusting"that sleep might oome »jid give me respite. Still tbe excruciating pain continued, and while I was suffering tbe "tortuns of tbe doubly damned," undecided whether to arouse some tired druggist for a botti© of chloroform or chop off my bead (with a decided preference, however, for the chloroform), I suddenly bethought me of what I bad read of an anaesthetic which we always carry with us. Thereupon I began to inflate my lungs to their utmost capacity, and then forcibly blew ont all tbe air lcould. Immediately the pain began to lessen, and after a few repetitions of tbe prooess it bad entirely ceased, being displaced by a delightful tickling sensatton in the gums, and furthermore I know not, lor I in less time than it takes to tell it I was sound asleep, awakening next morning deligbtiuliy refreshed and without a symptom ot my ailment left. Hence, you see, I was not simply temporarily relieved, but entirely well again. I wish other sufferers would try this aud report results.

A COLL.EGK professor once said that "he who expects to rate high in his class, must not expectorate on tbe floor." Much of tne hawking and spitting was, no doubt, caused by catarrh, which the paofessor knew could be readily cured by the use of a few bottles of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
