"Say, you fellows," greeted Anstey, breaking into their room after the chums had returned to barracks, "you two had better go over today, and the men who are to drag the spooniest femmes tonight are all plotting to write you down on the dance cards of their femmes." "That's the best reason in the world for keeping away from Cullum, then," laughed Dick. "But I mean it seriously," protested Anstey.
He told Lady Cullum, which she repeated to me, that no one could conceive how it mortified him to be making a provision for his daughters by delivering lectures; and I thought she rather sympathised with him in this degradation. He approached Borrow, who, however, received him very dryly. As a last attempt to get up a conversation with him, he said, 'Have you read my Snob Papers in Punch?"
General Halleck had a map on his table, with a large pencil in his hand, and asked, "where is the rebel line?" Cullum drew the pencil through Bowling Green, Forts Donelson and Henry, and Columbus, Kentucky. "That is their line," said Halleck. "Now, where is the proper place to break it?" And either Cullum or I said, "Naturally the centre."
When the battalion marched back from supper, and was dismissed, the young men turned to for their evening of leisure and pleasure. Over at Cullum Hall there was to be a hop for the evening. Not all cadets, however, attend hops at any time. Not long after supper many of the cadets began to dress carefully. "Going to the hop, old ramrod?" inquired Mr.
I am sending all the transports I can find for you, reporting to General Sherman for orders to go up the Cumberland for you, or, if you march across to Fort Henry, then to send them up the Tennessee. G. W. CULLUM, Brigadier-General. On the 4th came this dispatch: To Major-General U. S. GRANT You will place Major-General C. F. Smith in command of expedition, and remain yourself at Fort Henry.
Haynes did not salute the officer; he didn't have to. Even had Haynes saluted, Captain Albutt could not have returned this military courtesy, for Haynes was no longer a member of the American Military establishment. On the afternoon of the day following the graduating exercises came to a brilliant finish at Cullum Hall.
A half hour later, he saw the party coming, and discreetly took himself out of sight. "I can play my cards at the hop," he muttered. The over to Cullum Hall, through the dark night, the little party strolled, one of many similar parties.
Meantime, at Paducah, I was busy sending boats in every direction some under the orders of General Halleck, others of General Cullum; others for General Grant, and still others for General Buell at Nashville; and at the same time I was organizing out of the new troops that were arriving at Paducah a division for myself when allowed to take the field, which I had been promised by General Halleck.
"You boys neenter to be so brash," drawled Mr. Pinson's son-in-law, Sam Leggett, from his perch on a barrel of pecans; "jest you wait ontell Minty Cullum an' Loo Slater gits a tight holt! Them gals is ez meek ez lambs now. But so was Mis' Pinson an' Mis' Trimble in their day an' time, I reckon. I know Becky Leggett was." "The studdies'-goin' woman on Jim-Ned," continued Mr.
At that time Lieutenant-General Scott commanded the army in chief, with Colonel E. D. Townsend as his adjutant-general, Major G. W. Cullum, United States Engineers, and Major Schuyler Hamilton, as aides.-de-camp. The general had an office up stairs on Seventeenth Street, opposite the War Department, and resided in a house close by, on Pennsylvania Avenue.
