John Beatty, The Citizen-Soldier; or, Memoirs of a Volunteer, July, 1863. (search)
y was told to illustrate the fact that the people of many counties in Tennessee were behind the times. It would take too much time to refer, even briefly, to all the stories related, and I will allude simply to a London ghost story, which Captain Halpin, an Irishman, of the Fifteenth Kentucky, undertook to tell. The gallant Captain was in the last stages of inebriety, and laid the scene of his London ghost story in Ireland. Steadying himself in his seat with both hands, and with a tongue re London ghost story, took a mug of beer all around, and then one gentleman, drunker probably than the others, or possibly unwilling, after all the time spent, to allow the ghost to escape, punched the Captain in the ribs and shouted: Captain-Captain Halpin, you said it was a London ghost story; maybe you'll find the ghost in London, for I'll be d-d if it's in Ireland! The Captain was too far gone to profit by the suggestion. July, 30 This evening General Rosecrans, on his way to Winchest

men of the Seventeenth and Eighty-third regiments hunted them and dragged them from their hiding-places with great gusto; within an hour fifty to sixty had been brought in and confined in a barn to the rear of the house where Col. Johnson was re-gathering his regiment, and bringing together the brave ones who had so gallantly fallen. Here it was found that all the casualties, about thirty, save one or two in the batteries, were in the Twenty-fifth. Lieut.-Col. Savage, Surgeon Weed, and Lieut. Halpin were wounded, while Capt. McMahon, Lieut. Fiske, and Lieut. Thompson had baptized their patriotism with their life-blood, falling upon the threshold of victory, fighting to the last, like the brave men that they were. Several of the most valued non-commissioned officers likewise fell here. The guns captured were twelve-pound smoothbore brass howitzers, belonging to Latham's celebrated New-Orleans battery, and they were left in good order. The limber-boxes were nearly full of ammunit

having been rapidly promoted for gallantry and meritorious services in the British navy; the brave but unfortunate Burgoyne, who went down in the British iron-clad Captain in the Bay of Biscay, and the chivalrous Hewitt, who won the Victoria Cross in the Crimea and was knighted for his services as ambassador to King John of Abyssinia, and who, after commanding the Queen's yacht, died lamented as Admiral Hewitt. Besides these there were many genial and gallant merchant captains, among them Halpin, who afterwards commanded the Great Eastern while laying ocean cables, and famous war correspondents, Hon. Francis C. Lawley, M. P., correspondent of the London Times and Frank Vizitelli of the London Illustrated News, afterwards murdered in the Soudan. Nor must the handsome and plucky Tom Taylor be forgotten, purser of the Banshee and the Night Hawk, who, by his coolness and daring, escaped with a boat's crew from the hands of the Federals after capture off the fort, and was endeared to th

where save among the Yankees and poor deluded foreigners, fallen under their artifices. We conclude this article with a most remarkable speech, made by one Col. Halpin, of Kentucky, who responded to the toast to that State. What he said is worthy of attention. His pledge for the Army of the Cumberland is, of course, a fraud.r the Germans, nor the Yankees, (the last and worst,) have the remotest idea of such a thing. But the trick has its effect. That is all the Yankee wants: Col. Halpin, of Kentucky, said that he had hurried up from Chattanooga to be present at the opening of their great fair. He could assure the Fenian Brotherhood that they have the sympathy of every private and officer in the army of the Cumberland. Having defended Kentucky from the charge of disloyally, Col. Halpin said that after the rebellion had been put down, every soldier in the Army of the Cumberland was pledged to assist them in freeing Ireland. Daniel O'Connell had tried for fifty years to
