We remain* jI! ed there two days, and at the expi* jradon of that time our company was ;sent to Shepardsiilo Ivy., to guard a ji ^ ^ i (! bridire over Salt River. This is one of j 1 the oldest places in Ivy., and is about j 5 eighteen miles from Louisville. The! ” ^ j’ population of the town is about threeti hundred. We all wanted to remain I * ; there on account of the pleasant loca*i tion, and its healtv atmosphere. We ! *I were prepared to resist an attack there;1 having three t\v*dve pound cannon and1| a good stock adf*, besdes the advantage : of 1 itie pits. Fortune would not per- ! j mil us to remain there over six days.— j1 We ha i orders to report at Nashville, 1.1 which | lace lias been elaborately de . .-cril ed by better pens than mine. It j was our good luck to stay there one day ;; After marching through the streets 1 ; of Na-hvilie, we started for Mur- j. 1} freesboro, where the great battle of \\ Stone River was fougbt. I had the»-—. pleasuju of going ov^r part of the; ground where so many brave Indiana■• soldiers itlLLMurfreesboro is so fortified that it♦ rimay be considered almost impregnable.: While there we met two Goshen bovs,* /i iI Alford Toms and IIarvev Wilson.— j* 1They were left in the hospital sick, but ; they me now well and doing picket du ' iy. We were in hopes we should ie-| main there, but the kites were against •. us again- Wo spent one night there1; on the ground near the depot.

We are now in middle Tennessee guarding a bridge one,mile and a quarter from Wartrace Bedford Co., filly six miles irom Nashvillej twenty-ibree miiea fiom Mufrees-; Loro, and ninety-five miles from Chat-i ianooga on the Nashville and Chatta-I nootra Rail Road. Wartrace is a smallI- | and dilapidated. The country aroundr ; is very uiily, amd some of the farmsd I Wtrie very valuable before the war.— v when Wheeler made Lm raid through e | he'C last fall, a great deal of property; was destroyed, and Madame Rumor jis’dvs another one will be made thisf :• 40 Ii : i'•1 • 1 ;s {1)* :o i,S ih ;it. :n !le •:eOur ooiupany is divided into two divisions, one squad of about thirty men under Lieut.
