The Daily Republican from Monongahela, Pennsylvania • Page 1

The Daily Republican. YEAR MONONGAHELA CITY, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1890, Some War Stories. Capt. James B. Kennedy, the Republican candidate for Register.

and present efficient officer, has recently visited Knoxville, and Fort Sanders, the stronghold of the defences in war days. I He wrote a most interesting account of that visit. and the Daily Reporter copies it because of the local interest which belongs to the defense of that fort, in Which so many Washington, County boys took part, Garretson Templeton killed, with James Stocking, W. H. Underwood and James B.

Kennedy wounded participants. We quote two or three incidents of that fight, so as to recall the heroism of those Kennedy thus tells the story of the assault. pickets had been driven in and we had to keep a sharp lookout. At about six o'clock on that Sunday morning the rebeis came for us. Some of company A gave the alarm and I sprang for the parapet, got upon top next to and left of an embrasure, through which one of Capt.

Buckley's brass pieces was firing, Cotton bales had placed on the outer edge of the parapet, which were a great protection to us. When I got upon the parapet and looked over the top of the cotton bales and saw the lines of those brave and determined men, I thought it was all up with us; and knowing full well that the bill of fare at Andersonville, Florence, Libby and was not what we desired, determined to give them the very best we had to give. The telegraph wires, which had been arranged around the stumps in front of the fort, caused many to fall, which demoralized them some. We kept up a steady musketry fire. They came and tilled up the ditch, climbing up or helping each other to reach the top of the parapet.

I saw one man reach the top. and plant his colors there, and heard him say: "Come on boys, the fort is Lieut. Montford replied, by a d-d sight." The man rolled down into the ditch, some of our boys got his colors. I saw another brave act. an officer, sword in hand, trying to force his way through the embrasure and demanding us to "surrender," but the words were scarcely out, of his mouth before the piece was discharged.

It being doubled shotted, he must have been blown to atoms with many more. That gun was one of Capt, Buckley's. Benjamin's twenty-pound parrots could not be used at so short range, SO he called to one of his sergeants, "Bring De some of those 20-pound shells." He cut the fuse, lit them, and I heard him say as he threw one of them over, out over there, some of you will get hurt." I think some of them must have got hurt. for I see by their report that their aggregate loss was eight hundred and thirteen and three stand of colors. Asan ofticer attempted to come in by the embrasure, one of the 79th N.

a sergeant, being between myself and the embrasure, was struck in the head and killed. As he fell I caught him, but could not hold him, and let him tall, At the same time my gun was struck just below the first band, the bullet passing through the barrel. could not use it and got down and picked up the sergeant's gun. I fired four or five rounds from that gun when I was struck, the bail passing through my neck and jaw, and knocking out some of my teeth. (I was also injured in the breast and back.) I was knocked off the parapet and fell across a hole leading down into the magazine or bomb- proof.

I was picked up by two of my company badly hurt by the fall, but was able to go to the field hospital myself and have my wound bandaged, and with Corporal W. H. Underwood, of my company, who was also wounded, was taken in an ambulance to the hogpital in the Knoxville court house, where I lay, and suffered until my father came and brought me away on the last of March. 1864, to my home, A laughable incident occurred about the time he was wounded, which perhaps he did not see, and I will relate it: Just before the Johnnies retreated it was apparent to all of us that they were going to get into the fort in spite of all we could do, but we kept on loading and firing as fast as possible, when all at once there was an apparent lull in the firing, and a great many were reloading at the same time. the fact greatly excited a big sergeant of the 79th New York, and he became fairly wild, yelling, "For God's sake, men, burry up or they will be in on us sure," and instead of reloading he threw his musket down, and picked up an old ax, swinging it around his head he let it fly into the rebel ranks just beyond the ditch with a "damn you, take that." It appeared to relieve his mind for he picked up his musket and began firing as if nothing had happened.

His ner was very ludicrous. The West Case. Constable Orr was in the District yesterday, summoning Chas J. Nicholson, Samuel Mills, Abe Tinley, Thomas Coyle. and others to appear at Washington, on Wednesday, to give testimony to be used in an argument a for a new trial of William West to be heard before Judge Stowe November 4th.

Bentleysville Camp Ground. At the Bentleysville Camp Meeting sale on Saturday, the buildings auditorium, seats, tixtures, fence were bought in by Hon. J. Stephens, the owner of the grove. It is a part of the agreement that in case a further series of meetings held at this camp ground, Mr.

Stephens stands ready to re-convey the property to the same or a new association. This however, fully winds up the Bentleysville Camp Meeting association, although its charter has not yet expired. The probalities are that a new management may take hold of the matter, and buying the grounds enter upon a permanent occupation of the grove, and make it a sort of Chautauqua, with educational as well as religious features.
