Capt. E. J. Brooks, of the Tenth

of about 12$ . convalescent and . spe

about 150 men front other commands,

Plains, TeniK They- were attacked
August 24, 1864. by Gen. Joe Wheeler
and a force of from 6,000 to 8,000 men,
with nine pieces of artillery. The
union troops made a successful de
fense against, this force, and thus
saved the post from capture and
the gTeat railroad bridge from de
struction, says the Detroit Free Press.
. During the attack seven of Brooks
men, -by hard fighting, held McMil
lan's ford, on the Holston river, for
3x hours against a brigade of confed
erate cavalry, killing 40 or 50 of them;
but were finally surrounded and cap-

tured. The following report is made
of this incident:
Eight men were sent to guard Mc
Millan's ford, on the Holston. One of
them went off on his own hook, so
that seven were left. One of them was
a large, powerful fellow, the farrier
of company Br by name Alexander H.
Griggs. The seven men actually kept
a confederate brigade from crossing
that ford for 3 hours 'by desperate
fighting, killing 40 or 50.

Daring the light the -big farrier ' was
badljr wounded in the shoulder.
Gen. Wheeler was much astonished
at the valor of tese men. and at once
paroled a man to vare for the wound
ed, man. A roichvng the latter, the
following dialogue is said to have
taken plaeet ; - ' ' -'' v
Gen Wheeler Well, my man, how
many men had you at th ford?
Griggs Seven, air.
Wheeler My poor fellow, don't you
know you are badly wounded? You
might as well tell me tb truth. You
may not live, long. . . . .;
Origga. (iadignantly) I am telling
the truth, sir. We had only sevrr
men.
Wheeler (laughing) well, wnat aia
you expect to do?
r- Griggs To keep you from crossing,
Wheeler Well, why didn& you do
it?
Gxiggs Why, you see, we did until
you hit me, and that weakened our
forces so much that you were too
much for u.
Gen. Wheeler was greatly amused,
and inquired of another prisoner (who
happened to be a horse farrier, too) :
"Are all the Tenth Michigan like you
fellows?"
"Oh, no!" said the man, "we are the
poorest of the lot. Wo are mostly
horse farriers and blacksmiths, arid
not much accustomed to fighting."
"Well," said Wheeler, "if I had 300
such men as you I could march
straight through , . and the
couldn't stop me.
Gen. Wheeler, after the war, met
Capt., afterward Col. Brooks, one day,
and on being told his regiment said:
"The regiment out of .
Whenever I met them they licked
out of me."
Fine Combination for Pig-.
Dairymen who keep swine, and they
always should unless all the milk is sold,
should mix grain of some kind with the
skim milk or whey that goes to the
pigs. Corn meal and skim milk mixed
in proper proportions cannot be ex
celled as pig feed. It is improvident for
a dairyman; to grow hogs on. the wastes
from the dairy without any grain, yet
the only way to prove this to some men
would be by the use of the scales, in
tests with mixed rations. National
