"No. Bmperor," said General Schofleld, "it Is not." "Where did you ever see a grander army?" was the Quick rejoinder. General Scho fleld said: "Bmperor, at the battle of Franklin. Tennessee, in 1801 between the United States troops and the Con federates. I saw men In rags and tat tors, barfooted and hungry, charge the works behind which my command was Intrenched. They came on and on. Nothing could stop their Impetuous charge, ('.real gaps made by our guns were closed up. l! Beomed that whole battalions of the Confederates were being swept away by our guns. Bui still onward they came, until 1 moved my men oul of the trenches to stay the slaughter. That. Bmperor, was the grandest army I ever saw." -Abbeville Press and Danner. UK.
