was sometime before new ones could be commissioned at Colum- bus, the regiment left Louisville before many of these vacancies had been filled. While at Louisville I was in almost daily receipt of dispatches directing me to get my command ready for the field in such a time, when the supplies to get it ready with were not there, nor to be had ; however, having to contend with as many difficulties as we did, and the loss of officers from resignations before mentioned, and consequent state of semi-disorganization therefrom, and having to press horses in the city of Louisville and surrounding country, we got the Fourth Ohio ready first (as she most always was when duty called her to the front), and sent her on her way rejoicing to report to General Thomas, which she did in time to participate in the battle of Nashville and the pur- suit of the enemy south of that place, of which, not being present myself, I cannot speak. Getting the rest of the division ready as best we could, we left Louisville on the 28th day of December, 1864, and marched to Nashville in about ten days, one of the coldest and most disagreeable marches I ever made. For several days every one was compelled to walk most of the time to keep from being frozen ; but at length we arrived at Nashville, and after getting a new supply of rations, we started (the Fourth Ohio along) for Gravelly Springs, Alabama. If the march from Louisville to Nashville was bad, what shall be said of that to Gravelly Springs, Alabama? Worse is a feeble word in that connection, sufficient will it be to refresh the most of your memo- ries by saying that the most of it was over a desolate, God-for- saken country, breadless and meatless, composed of nothing in fact but wood, water, earth and air, with almost bottomless roads, seldom traveled except by lonely or lost travelers-who if they had been Catholics it would have been well for them to have been counting over their beads, or saying their pater nostres, for fear of meeting the only other persons likely to be traveling the same road, viz : Knights of the road, alias Guerrillas, who would have sent their souls unshriven to St. Peter's gate, for the small sum of

twenty-five cents in Confederate scrip, without the slightest com- punctions of conscience. For many miles our most efficient and worthy Quartermaster, Major Coe, had to take the advance with his Pioneer Corps, and carve out a road with their stout arms and sharp axes ; but bad things, as well as good, have an end, so it was with this road and march, but before it ended itself it nearly ended all of our horses, and did in fact end many of their terres- trial careers. Arriving at Gravelly Springs, Alabama, we camped on the ground that had been selected for us, and bad enough it was-that of the Fourth Ohio happening to be particularly so. Waiting here for supplies, etc., until the 22nd of March, 1865, we spent the time in making our horses and ourselves as comfort- able as we could under the circumstances, completing our ar- rangements for having a good camp just about the time (which was usual with the cavalry) we had to leave. Leaving Chicka- saw, Alabama, a romantic village on the south bank of the Ten- nessee river, on the 22nd of March, we started for Selma, Ala- bama, all in good marching order except a small squad (but few of whom I believe belonged to the Fourth Ohio) who had bad horses at the start and had used them up, and were consequently now on foot; but I am sorry to say that some of them I knew to have had good horses and to have used them up with their care- lessness and neglect of duty in not properly attending to them, or from inattention, thinking that if they had no horses they could stay behind. For this last class I had no sympathy, and was rather glad of the opportunity of trying the experiment of a few days' tramp on them, thinking the lesson would be of service to them and the horses they should get in future. On account of those whose horses had given out through no fault of their own, I re- gretted the necessity of their having to walk, but was unable to make the distinction, and, as I had conjectured on starting, it was not many days before the dismounted men were all supplied with horses, their equipments having been transported with the column in wagons, and I was gratified to afterwards observe that

the men who had been dismounted took splendid care of their horses when they got them, and have no doubt but that those of them who have been fortunate enough to survive it have congrat- ulated themselves ever since that they participated in this, as I think it was, the most brilliant cavalry campaign of the war. Starting out, as before mentioned on the 22nd of March, from Chickasaw, Alabama, we made the first day's march without any incident worthy of note occurring. On the second day, by some mistake, probably my own, we got on the wrong road, by which we were somewhat delayed, as well as the command immediately in our rear, General McCook's, owing to the wretched state of the roads, frequently having to double teams, and sometimes al- most literally to dig wagons out of the ground ; however, as was our custom, we got out of the worst part of the road at last, and moved on. Our horses were well provided for, and probably better than those of the rest of the corps, on account of the long bag-like forage sacks, slit in the middle, that we had, and which enabled us to carry three or four days' forage, and which carried us safely over the mountainous portions of North Alabama into the valleys or low lands, where forage was more abundant, or at least where there was some.
Moving on for several days, the command in front of us on the road having occasional skirmishes with the enemy, and some pretty sharp ones too, ourselves sending out parties on each side of the road to look for horses, these parties sometimes capturing scattering rebels, and sometimes getting captured themselves, we at length arrived at a place called Ebenezer Church, where Forrest with a determination to check us or do worse if he could, had posted what men he could gather together on the north side of a stream running perpendicularly across the road, either with no idea of being defeated, or with a want of confidence in his men, and for that reason posting his command in a position where they could retreat; but with great difficulty; they were, however, dis- lodged from their position after a short, but sharp engagement, in

which they lost about 200 prisoners, and I think three pieces of artillery, General Upton's division capturing most of the pris- oners and two pieces of artillery, as his command was mounted, and we were operating on foot. Marching along as soon as the killed, wounded and prisoners could be cared for, with light skirmishing, and with small scouting parties of the enemy in our front, we at length arrived in front of Selma, Alabama, on the 2nd of April, 1865. And now was come the time to show our commanding officers, who, to judge from their letters, orders, etc., had thought we were laggards in delaying so long at Louis- ville, and to show the newspapers of semi-rebel proclivities that had delighted in abusing and villifying us, and our friends at home, who were watching for us with fond and anxious hearts, and perchance offering up many a silent prayer for our welfare and success, and above all to show our country and our Heavenly Ruler, that we knew our duty, and were determined to do it. Now was come the time for the true soldier to show that he was determined " to do or die," without which motto a man had bet- ter choose some other avocation, or profession, for he certainly is not fit for a soldier. It was now our time to do our part, or that allotted to us by the authorities at Washington, in general plans, by our immediate army commander, and our gallant young corps commanders in more detailed plans ; it is true that in the original plans it was not intended or hardly conjectured that we should attack Selma, a place surrounded by fortifications, built by the rebel General Polk to resist General Sherman's advance, when he moved out as far as Meridian and returned, and a place supposed to be capable of effectually resisting an attack of infantry, and that would look with contempt on an attacking force of cavalry. It was not, in fact, as I understood it, expected that we should at- tack any fortified city or town, if it could be avoided-the main object of our movement being to attract the attention of the enemy, and cause them to keep as many troops as possible in the interior for its defense, and to thus prevent them from sending

reinforcements to their army at and about Mobile, which was about being attacked by our forces, but Wilson's young blood could ill brook to have it said that, with a command of seven or eight thousand cavalry, well mounted and equipped, and thor- oughly imbued with the idea of their own invincibility, he only made " demonstrations," and himself recognizing in its fullest extent the motto of the distinguished French cavalry soldier and writer on cavalry, DeBrack, " tonjours l'audace, tonjours l'au- dace" (always audacity, always audacity), he determined to ac- complish something that would be creditable to his command and himself, and beneficial to his country, and nobly did he ful- fill and carry out his intentions.
Before arriving in front of Selma the command which I had of the Second Division had been reduced by details for scouting, picket duty, etc., until, when I got it in line dismounted, there were only 1,258 men in line. General Upton's division was on another road to our left, and my orders were to await the signal of one gun from his line, and then to advance on the works with what effect I could, but while waiting for the signal, with my command drawn up in line under cover of a small rise in the ground, which did not prevent a man from being occasionally carried to the rear, either dead or wounded from the effects of the enemy's cannon shot, it was reported to me that the rebels were attacking a force which I had left immediately in my rear to guard a bridge over a large stream. Seeing at the same time the enemy reinforcing his command constantly in my front, I determined to make the assault at once without waiting for the signal gun, and the Fourth Ohio being at the post of honor, that is, covering the main road into the town, we made the assault about 5 o'clock P. M., and in twenty-five minutes from the time we commenced to advance the command was over the main line of works, and Selma, with 2,700 prisoners, 200 pieces of artillery, thirty of them in position, with a vast amount of material of war, was ours, captured as the result. It is true, there was some fighting after-

wards, but the resistance was feeble and desultory after they found that their main line of works was captured.
The brave old Fourth fully sustained her reputation for fearless gallantry on this occasion, as her loss showed. Among other gal- lant spirits who gave their life to their country's cause, we have to mourn the loss of our soldier friend and man in the noblest and truest sense of the word, Colonel Dobb, the commanding officer of the regiment ; and of a no less peerless soldier, Captain Robie, whose restless spirit always led him into the thickest of the fray. There was one man of the Fourth, whose name (supposed to have been John A. Booth, of Co. 4, ) I could not learn, who was re- ported to me to have been killed literally at the cannon's mouth, as a portion of his body was blown away just as he was entering the embrasure. The regiment should learn and preserve the name of this soldier by having his name placed in letters of gold in some conspicuous part of the history of the regiment. The exact loss of the Fourth I cannot now remember, the loss of the whole · was near one-fourth of the command killed and wounded inside of twenty-five minutes. This fight, besides being a handsome thing in itself, was the pivot fight of the campaign, for most or quite all of the organized and tried troops that the Confederacy had in that part of the country to make any resistance to our ad- vance were gathered together here, under Forrest, for the purpose of defeating us, and after the action they were all either cap- tured or dispersed so far and widely as to be incapable of troub- ling us any further, and, although considerable resistance was made to our advance afterwards, it was made principally by militia, and, with perhaps the exception of the fight at Colum- bus, Georgia, to little or no purpose. Feeling the interest that I did in the Fourth Ohio, I was glad of the opportunity of sharing with them the glory of this, one of the last fights of the war, and though it may perhaps be considered indelicate in me to say it- as handsome and brilliant a feat as has been accomplished by cavalry in modern times, in this or any other war; and relying

on this regiment, and being willing to share its fate, whatever it might be, I went into the action with it and was placed for the time being out of the way of doing any farther good or harm at almost the same instant that Colonel Dobb and Captain Robie were killed; but, after I was struck, and in the few moments for which I retained consciousness, I had the satisfaction of learn- ing the fighting was nearly over, and that the city was captured, and that we had at length, after our weeks and months of prepar- ation, accomplished something that would, in a measure, fill the expectations of our friends ; and that the brave men who were fortunate enough to pass through the action unscathed would have the satisfaction, in the place of Forrest's men (for whom they had been prepared. with no idea of their defeat), of eating the roast turkeys, and other delicacies that were awaiting them. Repeating the assertion which I made at the beginning of this sketch, and which you by this time have discovered for yourselves to be true, namely, that there is little intrinsic value or any other kind in this paper, I will in conclusion make another, and that is, that though I have no relish for the thing per se, I would al- most as soon have gone into an action, as to have prepared this sketch, as meagre as it is.
The following General Order of Major-General Long will be of interest to the members of the Association :
HEADQUARTERS 2D DIVISION CAVALRY CORPS, MILITARY DIVISION OF THE MISSISSIPPI, Macon, Ga, April 23d, 1865.
GENERAL ORDERS NO. 15.
Officers and Soldiers of the Second Division, Cavalry Corps, Military Division of the Mississippi :
According to the advice of the surgeon, I leave you for a time : how long, I am unable to say. I do not feel like separating myself from you, possibly forever, without, in a few parting words, expressing my entire and heartfelt gratification at your gallant and soldiery conduct since I have had

the honor and good fortune to command you, but particularly so in the present campaign. During the first portion of the march, unfortunate cir- cumstances placed you in the rear of the corps, thus rendering your labors extremely arduous, by having to travel roads originally bad, but rendered miserable by the passage of other troops in your advance. By untiring en- ergy and hard work, you however overcame these difficulties and arrived in front of Selma, garrisoned by a strong force under command of General Forrest, in time to administer to him and his command behind almost im- pregnable works, one of the most complete and severe castigations received by any command during this war. Of the circumstances and details of this fight, with which you are all familiar, it is unnecessary for me to speak ; it was, however, the turning point-the decisive fight of the campaign. The nature of the works assaulted, the character and number of troops behind those works, which number, according to the admissions of their com- mander, General Forrest himself, under a flag of truce, exceeded your own ; and the number of pieces of artillery in position are facts which show beyond controversion that this feat has been equaled by none accomplished by cavalry during this war, and excelled but in a few instances by infantry.
Having naturally no love for war, and if it should be my fortune, as I hope it may be, never again to hear the fire of a gun in battle, I shall con- sider that it is honor enough to last me the remainder of my life to have had the honor to command you on that occasion.
Whether or not all or any portion of us may meet again, I shall watch # your career with interest, and my prayers shall be for your welfare and hap- pine is. To all and each of you, for the time at least, I bid you an affec- tionate farewell.
