the occurrence are as follows: Nelson was in command at Louisville, and was laboring to put the city in a state of defense against the expected attack. A few days before my arrival he rebuked Davis, no doubt harshly, for what he considered a neglectful or inefficient discharge of duty, and ordered him to report to General Wright at Cincinnati. Upon my arrival Davis was ordered by Wright to report to me for duty with his division. Instead of proceeding directly to Louisville, he went by Indianapolis and was joined by Morton. With him and with another friend Davis approached Nelson in the vestibule of the Galt House at Louisville at breakfast-time, in the presence of a considerable number of persons. The reception which Davis's demand for satisfaction received was no doubt such as he had expected. What the bystanders witnessed and what was reported at the time was a slap from the back of Nelson's hand in Davis's face. Nelson then turned to Morton, denounced him for appearing as an

Just as the train I was on was starting out of the depot at Indianapolis, a messenger came running up to stop it, saying the Secretary of War was coming Indianapolis, a messenger came running up to stop it, saying the Secretary of War was coming into the station and wanted to see me. I had never met Mr. Stanton up to that time, though we had held frequent conversations over the wires, the year before, when I was in Tennessee. Occasionally, at night, he would order the wires between the War Department and my headquarters to be connected, and we would hold a conversation fnor Brough, of Ohio, whom I had never met, though he and my father had been old acquaintances. Mr. Stanton dismissed the special train that had brought him to Indianapolis and accompanied me to Louisville. Up to this time no hint had been given me of what was wanted after I left Vicksburg, except the suggestion in one of Halle
