[22] A Union man, who was also an elder of a Presbyterian Church, was grieved to hear its bell joining with merriest notes in the chorus of song. He sought with speed to know the reason, and found a citizen of good social position, whose intimate relations were more with this present world than with that which is to come, had got into the Church by a window, and was vigorously applying his gentlemanly muscle on the rope that led to the steeple.

[23] See Appendix: Note I.

[24] He died in prison.

[26] NOTE.--The youthful officer was soon after killed in battle for the Confederacy.

[33] NOTE.--The Comte de Paris charges “guilty neglect” upon Foster: that while he halted his column under the pretext of allowing his men time to rest, he sent on the road to Henderson’s Mill the Fifth Indiana Regiment, through which the Confederate troops easily opened a way.--_The Civil War in America, Vol. 4._

[34] Gen. Grant, in his “Personal Memoirs” (see Vol. II., page 49) puts the force with which Longstreet left Chattanooga “to go against Burnside at about fifteen thousand troops, besides Wheeler’s cavalry, five thousand men.” For Longstreet’s mind as to the situation, see Appendix, Note R.

[35] NOTE.--“Near one of the batteries, when the wind would lift the smoke a little, we could distinguish a pair of (high) boots that resembled Burnside’s boots, and judging from an occasional glimpse of an old soft felt hat which seemed to be nearly above them, we knew that somewhere between the two, our commander had his headquarters established.--WILL. H. BREARLEY.”

[36] Charles F. Walcott’s History of the 21st Regiment Massachusetts Volunteers states the Union troops at six thousand, and their losses twenty-six killed, one hundred and sixty-six wounded and fifty-seven missing. The Rebellion Record, Vol. VIII, gives the rebel loss as one thousand killed and wounded.

[42] Wm. Todd in “History of Seventy-ninth Highlanders, N. Y. Volunteers,” says that the Second Michigan was a part of the reinforcement, (page 383.) Chas. F. Walcott in “History of Twenty-first Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteers,” page 289, states that the garrison was reinforced by five companies Twenty-ninth Massachusetts, two companies Twentieth Michigan and a brigade of the Twenty-third corps.

[43] The boast among the besiegers had been that they “had got Mr. Burnside and his pet corps into a trap.”

[44] A fact. An intelligent eye witness of the scene, who served in the United States Army and numerous battles of the period, affirms that he never witnessed such a spectacle of human slaughter.

[45] Capt. Poe says in his report, four killed and eleven wounded.

[46] NOTE.--At a reception given Gen. Burnside, January, 1864, at Boston, by the Second Massachusetts Infantry, the General in the course of his speech, told how he asked a rebel prisoner four or five days after the attack on Fort Sanders why Gen. Longstreet did not make a second one. “Well,” said the prisoner “General, I will tell you. Our men just swear that they are never going into that slaughter pen again, and when they won’t go, the ball won’t roll.”

(See Chas. F. Walcott’s History of the Twenty-first Regiment Massachusetts Volunteers.)

[47] NOTE.--One of them relates: “Whenever any of us could get off duty, we would stroll over to where the teamsters were feeding their mules; should the teamsters be gone, the mules invariably lost their rations. Frequently the kernels of corn that the mules and horses could not help losing, were picked up out of the dirt and eaten by the nearly famished troops.”

[51] Bishop Otey was at first in the troubles of 1860-’61, a decided Union man, but when actual hostilities began, he espoused the cause of “the South.” Upon the occupation of Memphis by the United States forces, Gen. Sherman showed him kind and valuable attentions.

[59] After the siege of Knoxville, soldiers of Burnside’s army had only half rations of bread. Sergeant White, in his Diary, Walcott’s History 21st Massachusetts Regiment, says: “I have to-day seen soldiers scrambling after corn in the ear, as though it was the greatest of luxuries. We parch it. Officers eat it, as well as privates. Well, its all for the Union and we are driving the rebels to the wall, thank God!” A committee of citizens requested Gen. Foster to send the people out of the country, rather than the U. S. army should evacuate it.

[60] NOTE.--“To which,” say the Commissioners, “he might have added, and with more truth than Francis the First at the battle of Pavia, ‘save honor.’”
