In leaving the general Shook hands with me and remarked a you will never see me oct. 1.�?my last gave in Brief the history of the passage of the woman a suf Shigo in Wyoming. I will now give some of tie practical Workings of woman suffrage and woman . The first action Token under the provisions of this Law was the appointment by the Secretary is acting governor of mrs. Esther Morris of South pass City As a Justice of the peace for Sweetwater county. Mrs. Morris qualified a a remitted the usual fee ofs5�?� to the Secretary and in Tercel upon the duties of her office nothing usual occurred for some a jays everybody was satisfied with the new Justice and the new Justice with everybody. One Day however the wine of bitterness was mixed in her cup of Bliss and notwithstanding her womanly and wifely feeling she was compelled to drink it. Her better half who was now left in Chaigr of the Domestic Deim rement of the firm had previous to his retirement to the sweets of Domestic life occasionally Token n social gloss with his friends. Taking advantage of his weakness some friends waited upon or. Morris one Day and having made in. Lorris drunk led him into a breach of the Pence then hastened to the esquires office and lodged a complaint with her Honor against her Honor a Quot Liege lord and master a that used to be and demanded a warrant for his arrest. Mrs. Justice hesitated a moment on the Banks of this woman a Rubicon but like Caisar Slie was equal to the emergency and promptly crossed into her lords dominions and her former master was dragged before her for trial. Or. Mon a a head was not sufficiently dear to comprehend the situation. To began to assert his Sovereign rights in Monte Root of court until suddenly brought up by the officer in obedience to the courts order. Seeing that things had changed somewhat and that Othello a occupation had been at least suspended he began to expostulated first with the officer until that fun actuary that he has to discretion but was acting under orders from the court. Who is the court Hie a inquired or. Morris. On being informed that the occupant of the Bench was the judge her. Morris looked at the Justice with a puzzled air scratched his head in to collect his scattered thoughts and ejaculated a a Here her a Hie a Yon did fool heirs my wife a hic he a is that a Esther my wife Esther Yong to drunk or of done to bother me Hie a and he started to go. 117 0 betrayed him�?.1 statement from major v.

Deak snip my attention having been called to an article which apr cared in a Memphis paper under signature of general Alvin c. Galleni u. S. to be a True version of the manner in which Gen. John h. Morgan was killed and the statement made by your efficient correspondent whom i suspect to to an old and respected Friend in your Issue of the 24th Insl compels me very reluctantly to appear in print to refute a tei Alful misrepresentation on the part of the former and an unintentional mistake of my worthy Comrade. I Luid intended soon after the War and several times since to have pub slice a statement of what passed under Ray ii arson al observation on that eventful 4th of september the Dies rite of our coir Maitil but cautious friends adv Istl against any reopening of dead to incite fresh animosities which our Model ? accept the situation its declared would delay the Day of the prodigals return to the bosom of this a a glorious the letter in the Mem pub Appeal Detent inc my course and had already commenced a reply when your s notice of the circumstance causes me to hastily Lay before your readers and All who love our dear South and the glorious cause so manfully maintained As succinct a statement As i can possibly make of the True events of that Mournful Day. To anticipate on the morning of the 2d of september 1864,1 received orders from general Morgan then at Abingdon pm to have the command ready for immediate movement. A at that time it consisted of the old brigade under command of colonel d. Howard Smith the second brigade under command of colonel h. L. Gilt ner and a detachment of general Vaughn a brigade the latter composed of stragglers men reporting from leave of absence a., their brigade being absent with general Early in Maryland under command of. Colonel w. E. Bradford the whole Force numbering As Ivas i can Recollet thirteen Hundred men a vie Viere stationed at carte res station on the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad about thirty Miles from Greenville. Later in the Day orders came for the Force to move he.

Gen i invite me to ride Furwa Fri Liim and we Rode beyond our to Vic of yid ties. against this As dangerous but the general said of court a said Morris to the officer j a what have you to say about it he a blurted out or Morris staggering Menai in toward the judge. A a you will find i have All to say. About it offi Exir lock him up a replied her Honor. A. Although badly mixed sir. Morris Williams daughter in Law of our hostess had suddenly taken her departure for the ostensible purpose of getting some to those who know that smile when he was angry i refer whet Lier the general suspected treachery or not. His reply to me was Liat he a a wished the men to assist mrs. Williams in bringing Back her watermelons and Liat they must go until they found when alone he told me his suspicions that mrs. A Illiams had gone to give information to the enemy a but that bras nothing is a thousand of our Noble girls had brought us news but i must prevent if possible the enemy getting wind of our the scouting party returned unsuccessful after a diligent search nud reported that she had not been to the farm to which the elder mrs. W. Had said she had gone. In the Disi position of the division. Col. Bradforth was placed on the extreme left his left resting on the no Lichucki River and his Hue extending in a Semi Circle until it touched col. Gilt Iier a left and the latter in the same Inai Iner to the left of col. Smith a thus forming two thirds of a Circle around Greenville fronting Tho i ice a position and about two Miles from the town. I intimate in the propriety of placing col. Smith in Brailford so Xii tion As the Force of the latter without regular organization but Tho general said that he intended his men should Lead the charge in Tho Nio Ruig and that he desired they should be relieved from All duty a written order was dispatched to col. Bradford to select his Best officer and fifty picked men is a scouting party with instructions to Advance toward bulls until they struck tie enemy a position and to feel his picket until the command arrived the next morning. Captain Clay and Hajor Gossett were ordered to ride Over the picket line and see that every Road and by path was properly guarded and at 11 of clock r. M. They reported that All instructions had been fully executed. After issuing orders for the Cora a minds to rendezvous on Tho Bull Road at Daylight the next morning the general retired. Lie occupied a front room alone. At Daylight on the morning of Tho 4th, i was awakened by the Sentinel on duty and went into the general a room to Arak in him. Upon inquiry finding that it was raining he instructed me to countermand the order for immediate movement and fixing 7 of clock As the hour. After receiving receipts from the differ edit brigade commanders i re turkic to to bed and was awakened by the heavy firing around Tho hastening into the general a room i found that he had gone omit and on searching found him in the Garden. A description of the grounds will better enable your readers to fully understand subsequent events. The incl sure occupied just one Block and therefore was surrounded by four streets. On the Northern Side and occupying almost Tho whole space stood the House Large it substantial Brick fronting South. To the right and southward were the stables and still further and reaching to the front Street was a smash Vineyard of probably. Two Hundred vines. Id the Southeast Corner of the lot stood a Small Frame Church raised on Brick columns about three feet from the ground. The remainder of the lot was filled with finners and shrubbery. I found the general in the Vicinity of the Church and to took Refuge under it to consult. He directed me. To go to the top of the House to see if there was an opening through which we could pass and upon reaching the upper rooms i went into each opening in gift erect directions and found every Street blocked with Ltd Val while lines of men were Riding around next the Fence a High Plank Fence shooting iii i could Alto see squads of men at the terminus of each str Roton the outskirts of the Village. Reporting these Facto to the general 1 urged him to go into the House and there surrender As it win on offy Chance and that reiring momentary less is Tho fire growing heavy and at Point Blank Range. He replied r a a it is Tfir a have worn key or to take me a prisoner.�?T?. Hearing the Church bang forced open we a toned Over into the Vineyard.

Johnston a clerk in my office arrived on Tho train and to immediately proceed round and up the outside of the Fence almost Over the general who had risen and was holding up his hands sat a Yankee with , who re Pletl a surren Durand be god damned i know you a and fired. I was so close that to this Day i firmly believe that i can identify the Man. As soon As the shot was fired and the general fallen he Coni Mencell shouting a a in be killed the damned horse thief and began tearing Down the Fence in which he was soon Ossis ted by to Large crowd of his comrades. I neglected to racist iii that Whilo we were dodging about in Tho Garden some Fiji us in the Noble Guise of women wc--3 calling to the from their upper windows a a yonder he goes a a a that a him a a a that a Morgan a being soon after captured and taken some distance out of town i saw nothing of the general a body until when after repeated solicitations the sergeant who had me in charge consented to take me to Gen. Golem the commander of the Federal forces and on my Way there i was stopped by a crowd of half Drunken wretches who made to d is amount. A they wanted to show me that a a something was the dead Bolt by of Gen. Morgan thrown in a Muddy ditch by the Rood Side the features almost undistinguishable from mud and blood and the body under save a pair of drawers Tho clothing then being Tom up into Small pieces As a ii Renirio of Tho a a dead upon reaching the town i found general Gillem at mrs. Williams House and with him was the miss. Williams who had gone out the Day before after a a watermelons ? and who had returned strange to say about the same time with the Yankees. I stated to a Uncial Gillani that my object in coming to him was for permission to get the general a body a a As his men were treating it like a a May sir and it shall lie there and rot like a dog a was his reply and then followed a series of abuse which would scarcely be palatable to your readers or pertinent to this statement suffice it he rejected every proposition by which i had honed to have succeeded ill getting the general a body to his friends. ,. I .1 our Force having rallied Gen Gil-1cm was summoned to the front mid one of his staff whom i have thought was col. Brownlow though my memory May be at fault but who nevertheless seemed a gentleman offered to bring in the body which was done and in a Small Back room capt Jos. Rogers and myself with the assistance of a negro Man washed and dressed it Tho wound was full in the breast and seemed to have glanced on the breastbone passing through the heart and coming out under the left Arm. Trio head was much bruised and the skin broken in Sci nil places upon the face and temples seeming a verification of tie statement that the body was thrown Over a horse with the Bead it dangling against the stirrups. I. A Quot such or. Editor is a Plain unvarnished statement of facts so fkr As my Rne Ramiy Goto for i Haive no to upon which to rely., i sent a similar statement to col. Reedy the father of mrs. Morgan immediately after toy escape and when i reached Canada i al.�0 wrote More the general smother in Lexington Kentucky and to col. Dick Morgan tin a prisoner at fort Warren. This another reason Why i have not a Ven. This. Statement sooner to the Public As i Felt that As the general a immediate family a acre in to a Sion of. Theta cts they would publish of film if they Quot thought a it be now however As Gen Gillem has deemed it prudent to make a statement and is one of Wiir own staffins endorsed it i can no longer remain silent not Only in once to the history of a lir holy Caury but to the memory of one with whom it was my How or and Privily to serve and that i whom there breathed no More Noble and.
