War Rec .-BY JAMES Greenville. Tennessee, March 10. C 1864. Longstreet's corps, after the bat- y tle at Knoxville, Tennessee. came tl up by Newmarket and Morristown TF to Greenville where we had camped ( for some time doing nothing, but u picket duty and to be near Bull's ti gap, this is the gap through which ai the Knoxville railroad passes from -o Lynchburg by Bristol, Greenville r< and on to Knoxville. On the ioth ii at dress parade that evening or- 1 ders were read out for.:everv sol- .at dier to -clean up himslf and his gun o and to put on their best looks for b: the 12th for we were to be inspect- a. ed and reviewed hv an officer sent 11 out by the war department from i t(; Richmond. The war departmelit wanted to see what sort of fix we were in to commence the campaign. The i ith t evervbody spent in getting r.eady - for the review. On the morni;aof the 12th about 16*a. i., we were marched out into a large field and t1 formed into brigades and brigaie ito divisions. Our division that \ was McLaw's were all in one field. G General McLaws had been taken from his division and assigned to G duty ip this state. We had not seen t himi for some time and did not know t !he was to be there that day and when the old general came riding i up with General Longstreet his old division ehefred him till General si Longstreet had to ask the boys to hush. The old general bade us 1 good bye With tears in his eves and a said he had no fears for us. for we N had neved flinched vet. It was aI touching scene. I don't think there~ was a dry eve in the division. General McLaws spent the night Th a.fter the review in Greenville and nearly the whole division turned out to serenade him. We had the bands from the four brigades. We fr had two Georgia, one Mississippi J~ and one South Carolina brigade; st~ each vieing with one another to seeC which could do the most.h On the morning of the review js just as we reached the field all of t the spectators wvere crowding to see c who could get the be.st position. C There wei;e two men from Co. C of the 3rd S. C. regiment, Henry Rea in and Tom Stiliwell, who had been on guard duty the day and I night before. they were excusedl hC from duty that day. They had gone out with the spectators along with th two vouing ladies by the name of st Williams. who were Secessionists, to and came up from Morristown andh taken refuge at Greenville. This ortion of Tennessee was a hotbedp of bushwhackers and abolitionists s 'and had very little love for the Con- IP' federate soldiers. These two sol -t diers with. these -young ladies were on foot and had gotten a good place in the front and the carriages and at hosebackers wvere kept in the rear,~ at A carriage. came up in their rear and some one from the inside told sa the coaclimdn to drive over the S trash. He: cracked up his horses Ito o and they jimped forward knocking down on~ of the ladies and wouldt have trampled on her if Stillwelil had not seized the horses by the bridles and set them back, Reagin C ran around and snatched the whip CC out of the coachmani's hand andc gave him a rap or two over the head j and made him back out from thereo and go somewhere else. It turned out there wvere only twvo young la dies in the carriage by the name ofT Wiliam's, also, and they wverec otis ins to the two young ladies they~ were trying to run over. They hadr on one or twvo occasions before in-s suted them because they were se- 3 cessionists. They called the twot soldiers rebel dogs and the young ladies rebel trash and left the pa rade grounds. It wvill be remembered that Gen-k eral John H. Morgan wvas sur rounded in a house in Greenville by" the yankees and killed. A man by. the name of Lee Walker who was with General Morgan that night or morning told me that a young lady, by the name of Williams wvent on e hrebhek i.-miles to the yankee MWFOWj& W O - O-W AIW - 01W- - >Ile -tins LIAaTCI -;.
