LOGAN'S WAR RECORD.
Tho Prominent Part Played liy the Head
(Inn-nil In tlm (Ireat Chit Cniilllct.
At tho outbreak, ot tho Mexican tvnr
young Lojran volunteered) nnd Was
chosen n Lieutenant in a company of
tlie First Illinois Infantry. As a xoldlcr
ho did good service, and was fr somo
time Adjutant of hU regiment.
There havo been rumors to tho effect
that nt Iho outbreak of tho civil war
Logan was not tho strongest kind of a
Union man. It has been asserted, in
deed, Hint ho nt liit thought of easting
liln fortune with the South, nnd under
took to raise volunteers for tho Confed
erate army. Hut tho story has been de
nounced ns nil Invention of his enemies,
nnd It In rerialn that he was aiming the
first to enlist for the war of lliu Union,
Ho attended tho called se.'ulou of Con
gress in July, 18(51, nnd Immediately
afterward joined tho Itoops going to
tho front. He was in tho first battle of
Hull Uun, nnd among the last to leave
tho Hell. Returning to his home Sep
tember 1, ho nested in raising
troops, and September , 13 the
Thirty - ilrst regiment of Il
linois Infantry was organized with Lo
gan, commissioned ns Colonel. Tho
llrst engagement In which ho and his
command participated was the battle of
llclmont, In Xm umber of tho samo
year, when his ability as a commander
and his dash and intrepidity foreshad
owed tho fact that ho was to play a
conspicuous part In the operations of
tho army. Ho participated in tho
movement!) nt Fort Henry, nnd was
present nt tho battle, of Fort Donclson,
receiving a severe wound, and did not
rejoin his command until somo weeks
hftcrwnrd, on the evening of tho last
day of the battle of Shiloh. On March
3, 18G2, ho was made llrigadier-Gcneral,
nnd participated in the siege of Corinth
ns commander of the First brigade in
General Jtidah's division of tho right
wing of tho army, and for his valiant
services was publicly thanked by Gen
eral Sherman in his official report.
When tile attempt to tako Vicksburg
began In tho fall of 18G2 Gen
eral Logan was in command of
the First division of tho right wing of
the Tliittecnth corps. On tho arrival
of tho command at Memphis', December
31, 1862, tho Seventeenth army corps
was organized, and on January 11,
18G3, General Xogan was assigned to
tho Third division, in which position ho
remained until the fall of Vicksburg,
when ho was assigned to tho command
of tho Fifteenth nrmy corps. In tho
movements about Vicksburg from Feb
ruary, 1803, until July 4, when Fem
berton surrendered, General Logan
with his command was actively en
gaged, and it was through a number of
brilliant movements by him that im
portant advantages over tho enemy
wcro gained and tho final result hast
ened. Ho was selected by General
Grant for consultation during tho in
terview with General 1'emborton look
ing to the terms of surrender, ami in
consideration of his ndmlrabla services
General Logan's command was ordered
to tako tho lead in tho march into
Vicksburg, July A, after which ho was
givon the command of that post, which
lie retained until placed in command of
tho Fifteenth coqis, November 1 1, 18G3.
During tho latter part of December
nnd January ho organized an expedi
tion Into northern Alabama, whero ho
dismissed tho Confederate conscript
officers, for which ho was officially com
plimented. In tho Atlanta campaign
General Logan's corps was a part of
Mcl'lierson's command, which as Gen
eral Sherman said, was tho snapper to
tho whip with with 'i ho proposed to
punish tho enemy. During tho move
ment Logan was conspicuous at the
ftont, nnd tho, forces under his imme
diate command bore an important part
in nil the actions nnd maneuvers that
resulted finally in tho taking posses
sion of Atlanta and tho surrounding
strong holds of tho Confederate forces.
At Dallas, as at Resaca, General Lo
gan's command was in the front, nnd
tho desperation with which tho men
under him fought, showed their im
plicit confidence In their commander to
lead them to victory, cvon under tho
most pcrluous circumstances.
On July 22, 18G1, Logan, ns com
mander of tho Fifteenth army corps,
wasordeted in pursuit of the enemy
south of Atlanta. In tho hard-fought
battle that followed General Mcl'herson
was killed, nnd General Logan (suc
ceeded him In command of the Army of
tho Tennes.-ec. The success of the bat
tle was accorded to Logan by General
Sherman's official report. Tho battlo
of July 28, which followed, was another
hotly-eontestcd fight, in which Logan's
command was equally as conspicuous
nnd successful. At Jonesboro, August
29, ho was again in advance, und, see
ing the necessity of prompt action,
without waiting for orders, ho pushed
forward and Eaved the bridgo across
Flint river, went Into a fortilied posi
tion within a mile nnd n half of Jones
born, fought a. sharp battle nnd won a
decided victory. On January 20, 1805,
tho campaign of thoCarolinas wus com
menced, tho movement being for the
purpose of encountering Johnston's
army of the Fotomnc. This march was
full of peril anil privations, In all of
which General Logan was witli his men
day and night, wading swamps and
streams, and doing all that the men of
Ids corps wero called on to suffer. Tho
command moved on, driving tho enemy
nt every point, passing through Colum
bia, Gohlsboro aud Faycttevllle, until
It reached ltaleigh, near which tho sur
render of Johnston took place, and tho
campaign was closed. Chicago Times.

"LITTLE DANDY."
Tho ltrnvo Act of n fiermlnRly KiTcmlnate
Young Confederate Holdler.
"Little Dandy," tho boys called him.
Ho joined our company In Vicksburg
just before tho siege, and none of us
felt enough interest in him to make any
inquiries. His extreme youth, ho wns
about fifteen, would have excited our
sympathy under other circumstances,
but the war-worn veterans in tho
trenches had no use for tho curled
darlings of tho parlor, nnd Littlo
Dandy's nppcaraneo was against him.
The lad woro a gray uniform of a
private, but it was of the very finest
material, finer tlinn any thing worn by
our Generals. Ills buttons had an un
soldlerly glitter. Ho sported whilo
handkerchiefs, carried a pocket mirror,
nnd every morning ho combed nnd
curled his golden locks until they
looked llko a. gill's tresses.
"Hello, Littlo Dandy,!" yelled tho
soldiers whenever tho young fellow
passed thetik
To this rough salutation he always
responded with n bow nnd a smile, but
his soft ways did not win favor. When
wo met him in town wo passed him by
without notice, nnd in camp we let him
alone. Little Dandy was proud after a
fashion, too proud to notice tho many
slights heaped upon him. Ho went
through his routine duties without com
plaint, lmt nothing could induce him to
abandon his pocket mirror and his
fancy toilets.
The sicgo was well under way, and
wo were no better acquainted with Lit
tle Dandy than nt first. He shared our
meals of moldy corn-bread and mulo
meat without a murmur, nnd it must bo
admitted that this somewhat raised him
in our estimation. Hut wo still had to
learn what a true heart beat behind
those glittering buttons.
An angle of tho enemy's works was
dangerously closo to our intrench
ments, nnd we had to keep our heads
well sheltered. When wo raised a hat
on tho muzzle of a musket it was inva
riably riddled with bullets. Ono morn
ing wo found our men being picked off
by an unseen sharpshooter, nt tho rato
of flro or six an hour. This nstonislicd
us becauso wo wcro all keeping under
rover, and tho men who wero killed ail
occupied well protected positions.
Wlicro was tho sharpshooter? This
was tho uppermost question in every
mind. Wo wcro not long in satisfying
ourselves on tills point- Just outside
tlie angle of tho Federal' works stood a
giant oak, whoso leafy top nfforded an
ndmirablo covert for an activo rifleman.
A vigilant scrutiny convinced us that the
man who was doing such deadly work
in our ranks was concealed in this tree.
To reach it ho must have mado his way
there during the night, and ho would
havo to remain there all day. But we
could not stand it even ono day. His
aim was so unerring that every timo his
rillo cracked a Confederate bit tho dust.
Wo tried a rattling dischargo of musk
etry, but a moment later tho report of
the rillo rang out and another of our
comrades fell.
It was evident that from our position
it was almost impossiblo to hit the Fed
eral rifleman. If wo succeeded in
bringing him down it would bo somo
lucky random 6hot. Possibly a man
outsido tho works would bo nblo to
draw a boad on our wary foeman, but
ho would bo under tho guns of tho ene
my, and thero would bo a thousand
chances against him.
"I'll kill him or die!" cried a shrill
voice.
"Good Godl It's Littlo Dandvl"
shouted n dozen men.
At tho risk of our lives wo peeped
over our breastworks.
Littlo Dandy had already mado his
way to tho open spaco between tho
works, and was edging around on tho
rigltt of tho tree. The Federals saw -what
ho wa3 tip to and fired a broad
side When tho smoko cleared away
and thoy saw tho boy with a flushed
faco and streaming hair aiming his
gun nt tho top of tho old oak, there was
a tremendous cheer. It rolled along
both lines, tho hoarso Federal shout
mingling with tho wild "rebel yell."
Dang!
A man in blue came tumbling nnd
and crashing through tho branches of
the trees, and struck the earth with a
dull thud.
It was tho sharpshooter!
Another cheer rent tho air, but this
timo it carao from tho Confederates
alone. A sheet of llamo blazed along
tho Federal works, but when tho smoku
lifted wo saw Littlo Dandy coming full
tilt in our direction with a smile on his
face.
"Threo cheers for Littlo Dandy!"
leaped from hundreds of throats as tho
boy vaulted over tlie breastworks, and
wo rushed upon him to hug him In our
frenzy of admiration and joy. But
Littlo Dandy sank down on a heap ot
looso dirt, nnd then wo saw tho crim
son stains on his breast.
"I kept my promise," ho panted.
And then ns our Colonel took his hand
tho littlo chap looked Into his faco mul
said:
"I'm afraid I'vo mado a poor soldier.
Sometimes I'vo bothered you, I know.
But I always wanted to help you.
l'lcaso remember that I was not very
strong, and and I did the best I
cyuld."
His head fell over. Poor Littlo Dan
dy was dead! Atlanta Constitution.
General Gladden's Pluck.
Brigadier-General Gladden, of South
Carolina, had his left arm shattered by
a ball on tho first day of tho fight at
Slilloh. Tho staff burgeon hastily pet
formed the amputation on tho field,
nnd tho brave ofllcer mounted his horsi
nnd continued tu command. On Mon
day he was again hi tho saddle. Tues
day he was still in command. Wednes
day a second amputation near tho
shoulder was necessary, and General
Bragg sont nn aldo to General Gladden
to ask If ho would not bo relieved.
"Glvo General Bragg my compli
monts," ho said, "und say that General
Gladden will only glvo up hit command
to go Into his coflln," AgMnst all re
monstrances, ho continued to sit In his
ohalr receiving despatches and giving
directions. Iu the afternoon lockjaw
eolzed him and ho tiled. Atlanta Con-ituution.
