It had an under pocket, in which was a flat, half-pint flask with a cob stopper, and filled with apple-jack so new that it was as colorless as water. "I wuz jest bringin' that 'ere in fur you, Capting," said the Tennesseean, with a profound wink and an unabashed countenance. "Stick hit in your pocket, quick. None o' the rest 's seed you."
Some one must be the scapegoat, and who so fit as the poor, friendless Tennesseean who had escorted her to head-quarters and acted for her in personal matters? That was his story, but what a poor story to tell to a court-martial! What was she to do?
"I owe her my life and good name," said the tall Tennesseean, taking Baby No. 2 from her arms. "I-uns ain't wuth such a gal." "No," say I drily. "What did you take him for?" to her. Then I get the answer before quoted.
I came South for my health, I will go back on the same errand, and suddenly. Tennesseean journalism is too stirring for me." After which we parted with mutual regret, and I took apartments at the hospital. Once there was a bad little boy whose name was Jim though, if you will notice, you will find that bad little boys are nearly always called James in your Sunday-school books.
The paragraphs which I have written to-day, and into whose cold sentences your masterly hand has infused the fervent spirit of Tennesseean journalism, will wake up another nest of hornets.

"Stow these somewhere about your clothes, and get that blacking off your shoes as soon as you can, and you'll do."
She thought Peter was probably an East Tennesseean, or like one, for when he denied his Lord they said he did not talk like the others. It seemed hard that to say "we-uns" and "you-uns," as she habitually did, though she tried not, and to use the simple phrases of her childhood, should be thought coarse or wrong. Such matters were puzzles to her which she could not solve.
He felt more lonely and depressed than at any other time hitherto in the siege, and he was glad when Crockett and a young Tennesseean whom he called the Bee-Hunter joined him.
"I shall not take anything that does not encumber you." Just then one of the Tennesseeans who had gone down to the river for water came along with some in a coffee-pot. The wounded man saw him, and said: "I am very thirsty, sir, will you please give me a drop?" "Oh, yes," said the Tennesseean. "I will treat you to anything I have got."
One of the first called was a Tennesseean, named McCoy. He answered boldly: "I'm not going." "What's the matter, now?" demanded the sergeant. "I didn't come here to work; and if you can't board me without, you may send me home," replied the fearless man. "Well! well! you'll be attended to," growled the sergeant, and proceeded with the roll.
