J. M. Carrington, of Cleveland, Ohio, a member of Company E, Tenth Michigan Infantry, writes that on April 10, 1863, his company had a "little fracas" at Antioch, Tenn., with (it was supposed) the Eighth Texas, more commonly known as Terry's Rangers. During this affair Mr. Carrington's sword and pistol were taken away from him by a lieutenant and a private. He would like very much to recover these articles, and would appreciate any information of them.
