HOOKER'S ERRORS.
Gravo 31islal:os ivliicli Insured tho Result at
Chancellorsville.
DESIRE to correct the statement of
Comrade Hnthavray concerning the 3d
Md. at Chancellorsville, to which he
ascribes tho defeat of Berry's Division
on May 3, 1863. He did not name that
regiment, hut, it being the only one present
in that battle, I deem it my duty to correct
the impression npon his part that the 3d
Md. was forced by the enemy to retire from
the works held on the Plank road near Fair
view. It appears that his statement is based
upon the report of Col. N. B. McLaughlen,
who commanded the 1st Mass., to which the
comrade belonged, who, in his official report,
did not name the right regiment, but gave
the 4lh Md. as tho number of the regiment
that had abandoned the works and given
the rebels n chance to enter the lines, by
which they enfiladed that part held by
Berry's Division.
This report, or a copy of it, was sent to
the Adjutant-General of Massachusetts, and
after the war some of the officers of the 4th
Md. wrote to Gen. McLanghlen to inform
him that the 4th was not present in that
battle, and that it must be the 3d Md. to
which ho referred, and asking him to correct
it with the Adjutant-General. He did not
reply to the communication, and when one
oi their officers spoke to me on tho subject
I told him the 3d Md. served under Gen.
McLaughlen near the close of the war in
his brigade, and that he thought so much
of that regiment that he did not want to
say anything to reflect upon their reputation
for conrage. He believed, no doubt, when
he made his report, the Maryland regiment
(which he had named the 4th) had run
away and let the enemy in upon his flank.
I not only wish to place Gen. McLaugh
len in a proper light before the 4th Md., but
also to relieve them of any reflection cast
tipon them by the official records, which are
not always correct, and am prepared to ex
plain the conduct of tho 3d Md. on that
occasion, which I did to Gen. Doubleday so
satisfactorily that he thought it his duty to
correct the history of Chancellorsville which
he had written. In this he had placed the
blame of the defeat of May 3 upon the
right number, at least, of Maryland regi
ments, and ascribed to the 3d Md. the defeat
on that day, as he had put upon Gen. How
ard the blame of the rout of the Eleventh
Corps upon the second day.
I learned, that Gen. Howard alsohad writ
ten an article for The National Tribune,
in which he blamed the 3d Md. I am not
surprised at his throwing the odium upon
that regiment if it would serve to distract
ttention from his "culpable neglect" to
ieed the warnings of his superior and fail
ure to take even the ordinary precautions to
protect his flanks, which were naked and
exposed.
The 3d Md. is not to be made the scape
goat for all the blunders perpetrated by
Generals either in command of the Army of
the Potomac or any of its corps. "Wo claim
the right not only to defend the reputation
f that regiment, but also the privilege of
exposing the errors that led to the most dis
graceful defeat to which the Army of the
Potomac was ever subjected, and propose to
apply to them the rules of the Articles of
war, in which they were educated at the
expense of the Government and they had
adopted as a profession.
The first blunder which led to a train of
disasters was committed by Gen. Hooker
when he sent out his cavalry on that wild
goose chase after Lee's communications, by
which he expected to bag his army, after he
had demolished him by his grand strategy,
"which he boastingly proclaimed when he had
taken up a position in tho bushes of the
Wilderness. It reminds one of the old
fable of skinning the lion before he is taken.
By sending his cavalry away Hooker vir
tually put out his own eyes, and groped
around the bushes as a blind man. If
the axiom that " Cavalry are the eyes of an
army " was never demonstrated before, then
Hooker did it on that eccasion at his own
expense. If he had kept his cavalry with
him, Steuart could never have discovered
the weak and exposed condition of his right
flank, and therefore could not have given
Lee the information which enabled Jackson
to conceive in his fertile brain the flank
movement that made him illustrious and
Hooker ridiculous as a General.
By keeping his cavalry well to the front
Sionewall could not have executed unmo- r
lested the feat of moving 20,000 men across
the front of an army at least 80,000 stroDg
without being observed, until the rear of his
column had passed ; for the road he used
would have been in possession of his cav
alry, and that would have prevented the at
tempt of Jackson to execute in broad day
light such a hazardous movement within
two miles of Hooker's army.
The next blunder was in dividing his
urmy and moving upon Lee in his position
between Fredericksburg and Chancellors
trille by two separate columns, thus giving
Lee the advantage of interior position, and
depriving himself of the advantage of supe
rior numbers, to a great extent, and enabling
Lee to meet him at the point of contact
yflth. something like equality of numbers.
But the most ridiculous thing in the
whole affair was that of Hooker calling
upon Sedgwick to save him from Lee, when
he had taken six corps along with him with
which he was going to capture Banks's Ford.
But he ignominiously failed, while Sedg
wick with one corps alone moved against
Lee's victorious forces, and drove them be
fore him until he reached Banks's Ford,
which was Hooker's objective point. The
work of the Sixth Corps is the only brjlliant
episode in the whole campaign, and why
they were not routed and captured is the
greatest compliment that could be paid to
the ability of Sedgwick, and proof of tho
fighting qualities of the Sixth Corps.
If Hooker had fought his men and ex
tended his right flank, he would have se
cured the road, over which Jackson moved
to turn his right flank while it might have
keen in the air, it would not have gone up
In a balloon as quick as it did on the Plank
road, for it is hard to find a weaker position
ban that chosen by Hooker for the Third
And Eleventh Corps, as it rested against no
Statural obstacle to an advance upon tho
ront of the enemy, and was not refused,
either was any troops in reserve upon this
the weakest point in his line.
As to Hooker's tactics, they were as faulty
as his strategy. After lapsing into a "pas
sive defense" he made a double gap in his
line by sending away the Third Corps on
that fool's errand, and Williams's Division,
f the Twelfth Corps, from their position,
and left Hazel Grove at the mercy of Jack
son ; which, being the key to Hooker's posi
tion, was only eaved by Pleasonton with
his cavalry and artillery. They proved to
Jackson that it would not bo safe to con
tinue his advance up the Plank road, and
if, tho Third Corps had been upon that road
when the Eleventh Corps broke, Hooker
would have had a body of veterans that
swald not have been affected by the disease
of day or night terrors, which Dr. Ham
lin ascribes to the Eleventh Corps. Sickles
would no doubt havo taken advantage of
the time gained by Bushbeck'a Brigade, of
the Eleventh Corps, to move his corps hack
so as to form his line of battle to face the.
west and to conform to the line of works of
"Williams's Division, of the Twelfth Corps.
We hazard nothing when we claim that
Jackson would not only have been checked
(as ho was by Berry's Division, of Sicklcs's
Corns.1 but the battle would have had a
different ending if Hooker had not lost his
nerve to such an extent that he was willing
to abandon the Third Corps to its fate and
to retreat that night.
The worst thing Hooker did was to send
Williams's Division away from the works
that extended from Hazel Grove to the
Plank road, which they could have held un
til Berry's Division came up on the Plank
road ; this would have retained Hazel Grove,
with pickets between Leo and Jackson, and
enabled Hooker to drive the 30,000 men of
the First and Fifth Corps as a wedge be
tween the right and left wing of Lee's army,
and with anything like the spirit manifested
by Grant or Sheridan, Lee would have found
himself in the same fix, with a divided
army, tnat Hooters Dnlliant strategy naa
contributed to bring disgrace upon the Army
of the Potomac.
But by the abandonment of Hazel Grove
he not only lost all the benefit that he would
have derived from it for enfilading Jack
son's right flank if he continued to advance
along the Plank road towards Fairview,
without he resorted to that grand turning
movement along the dirt road to the White
House, which, Dr. Hamlin informs us, we
were saved from by tho death of Stonewall
Jackson, who, it appears, went out to recon
noitcr, with his staff actiug as cavalry. A
man who was foolish enough to do what Na
poleon never did, in the dark, deserved the
fate he met, and if he had escaped, the "fool
killer" would have suffered in his reputa
tion for fine discriminating powers.
When Hooker massed his artillery at Fair
view he seriously handicapped its usefulness
by placing his infantry in the ravine iu front
of it, so that he could not use "grape and
canister" upon the enemy when they ad
vanced. It was to enable him to open on
the enemy, who were massed in front of the
3d Md., that he sent a staff officer to order
them to retire behind his guns (even before
the enemy had reached his works), thus
making a gap in his lines that tho rebels
were not slow in taking advantage of, and
his artillery could not rout them out of there.
By thus inviting the enemy to come into
the door that he had opened in an "official
manner," he simply capped the climax of
such a series of stupid blunders that it is a
wonder the Army of tho Potomac survived
as an organization. Joseph F. Carter,

RECOLLECTIONS.
Story About Grant Tho Officer with tho
Black Stallion.
S any reminiscence of Gen. Grant
at this day will be gladly read by
old soldiers, I will give one.
On Sunday morning, June 19,
1864, the gallant old Sixth Corps was near
Bermuda Hundreds. It was a beautiful June
morning. Some of the boys had on " biled "
shirts and had a little polish on their shoes,
and aimed to look fine. Among this number
was Bill Myers, Drummer, Co. A, 6th Md.,
andsome more of the drummers of the regi
ment. Bill had been a newsboy in Balti
more, and in fact had about 99 per cent, of
the genuine street arab in his get-up quick
witted, ready for any question that might
be presented.
On this particular sunny morn Bill and
some of the boys were fixed up, and were
loitering jnst outside of the fortifications,
having fun of some kind. Presently along
comes Gens. Grant, Meade, and But
ler. They rodeTvithin a very few feet of
where .Bill aud his brother-drummers were
playing, and as soon as the boys recognized
the officers they all came to a salute. The
Generals returned the salute, and Gen.
Grant turned to Bill and asked :
"Drummer, where do you belong?"
Bill replied, saluting: "To the Sixth
Corps."
The General then said: "Well, Drummer,
where is the Sixth Corps going? "
In an instant he got his answer: "'Deed I
don't know, sir. Gen. Grant ought to
know ! "
Gen. Meade or Butler remarked to the
General that hehad gotten agood reply to his
question, and they all looked back at Bill to
see where it came from. The answer was to
the point so much that they and all the
boys near had a good laugh over it. It cre
ated quite a little fun for all of the boys at
the time. Bill is in Baltimore, Md., to-day,
not instructing Gen. Grant, but filling his
place in life like the bright boy he was then.
On the morning of June 15 or 16, '63,
when Gen. Milroy was forced to evacuate
Winchester, after he had given orders for the
Colonels to take charge of their regiments
and do the best they could, I went back on
the field to get the Surgeon of our regiment.
While near a fence on the pike I saw a
wounded cavalry officer sitting in a fence
corner. A handsome black stallion was
grazing near him, and as 1 saw his condition
I "was sorely templed to mount his stallion
aud save that much from capture.
I was told that his name was Capt. (or
Lieutenant) Bind, of the 14th (or 16th) Pa.
Cav. He had a gold watch and chain, which
showed plainly as he reclined in the fence
corner. The rebels were only a short dis
tance away. I have often wondered what
became of him, and if this should fall under
his observation I should like to hear from
him, as I am the officer who stopped and
talked with him only a few minutes before
he was taken prisoner. J. H. C. Brewer,

And "IVLat tho
GtU Coiin.
There.
Did on the Way
THE 5th Conn, had the honor of being
the first Union regiment to march
through the streets of the Gate City
of Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 1, 1864, after
being under fire of the enemy 116 days con
tinuously, holding its ground in every in
stance. The old 6th, of the First Brigade, First
Division, Twelfth and Twentieth Corps
(Hooker's Ironclads), built miles upon miles
of breastworks and never fought behind
them. It was never driven from any line of
battle, except at Cedar Mountain, Va., Aug.
9, 1862, where, having captured the key to
the field, it was left unsupported, and was
assailed on its front, right and left flanks by
a force its superior in the proportion of ten
to one.
It ate hardtack and chewed eowbelly, kept
count of its coffee, and served its Uncle
Samuel four years and three months. It
was always ready to stand up and take its
medicine, always generous to a fault in giv
ing its friends, the Johnny rebs, all of the
lead pills Uncle Sam furnished to distribute
to an erring foe; often on the picket-line
calling to the misguided Johnny to come in
out of the wet, get some coffee, and take the
oath. He most always replied back and
told us to " Go to , and put on the cover,"
and would punctuate his hot words with the
sharp ping of a rifle-balL He didn't seem to
love his brother in those days. Yet lots of
good Yankee blood was spilled to keep the
old flag at the top of tho mast. P. P. W.,

AT CEDAR CREEK.
What Was Soon by a Member of the 122d
N. Y.
I SEE in your issue of April 13 an article
from Comrade A. L. Miller, Co. H,8th
N. Y. Cav., claiming that Gen. Custer's
command was entitled to more credit
for the victory at Cedar Creek than any
other portion of the forces comprising the
Eighth, Nineteenth, and Sixth Corps, or
Little Phil's Army of the Shcnaudoah.
I have yet to hear infantrymen saying
anything against cavalrymen in tho matter
of fighting, for they never failed to give us
a show (with the bare exception of foraging).
The finest thing I saw during my three years'
service was the cavalry charge on (our) left
of Berry ville and Winchester Pike, Sept. 19,
1861. It raised the cavalry very much in
my estimation, and I havo never gotten
over it.
On the morning of Oct. 19, 1864, tho Sixth
Corps held a position on the extreme right
of Sheridan's forces..- The Second Division,
Gou. George W. Getty, was on the right of
the corps, and the Third Brigade, Gen. D. D.
Bidwell, composed of the 1st Me., 42d N. Y.,
49th N. Y., 77th N. Y., 122d N. Y., 61st Pa.,
occupied the right of the division ; the 122d
N. Y. the right of the brigade.
Long before daylight we were roused from
our slumbers by picket-firing iu our front,
but not enough to cause any uneasiness in
the Sixth Corps. Once awake for them
meant 3no more sleep that morning, and
soon fires were kindled and the coffee began
to simmer. All at once pandemonium broko
loose away down at the left, and apparently
a moment later a rider came down in the
darkness to Headquarters, and immediately
we heard the order, "Pack up and fall in!"
During all my term of service 1 never
saw the order obeyed with such alacrity.
Wo were immediately on double-quick, leav
ing coffee and meat strewed on the ground.
We double-quicked across the country from
extreme right until wo were tho extreme
left of army, or infantry, halting just below
Middletown, and half a mile from the pike.
The Eighth and Nineteenth Corps had
been knocked out; a continuous stream of
their men had run through the marching
column of tho Sixth as we wero hurrying
for our position and to save tho Army of
the Shenandoah.
Everything was Early that morning. As
soon as we halted we fronted. You could
not see the length of a regiment. A man
was sent out from each company in front,
but no sooner out than in again, saying,
"The Johnnies are coming!"
We had orders to lie down, and then,
under the fog, you could see the line of
butternut coming on. There was not n shot
fired until they were within 25 yards of us,
and then wo delivered our volley, which
must havo been fearfully destructive. Up
aud at it was then the business. I never
could compute the time that we were in
this position, but long enough to lose 57 out
of 136 men, and D. D. Bidwell, our brigade
commander, killed.
Then as the enemy fell back we fell back
in line of battle until our left covered and
lay on the pike. Here it was that we were
lying behind rudely-constructed works
when Little Phil rode into our lines as tho
first organized troops since leaving Win
chester. This was not far from 10:30 a. m. As
Sheridan rode up to onr lino on his foam
flecked, dust-covered horse, he took off his
hat and said :
"Hoys, it l had been here this never
would have happened. We will whip them
out of their boots and go back to our old
camp to-night."
Cheer after cheer floated through the air
as that one-man reinforcement rode down
the line. Every man felt better and stronger.
The bugle sounded the advance, and ere long
wesaw the disorganized, scurrying fragments
of tho foe fleeing for safety, and again we
had them on the go, and the opportunity
for tho cavalry had come and they improved
it nobly. A. J. Mebrifield, Co. A, 122d

MEN OF A FINE DIVISION.
Proud Record of the Organization XeA by
JtlchardHon, Hancock, Caldwell, Barlow
and Miles.
INCE my letter, " Losses in Brooke's
Brigade," was published in your
issue of June 1, I have received
numerous letters from survivors of
the old First Division, thanking me for it,
and saying they never saw anything in
The National Tribune about tho old
First Division, Second Corps, and had about
come to the conclusion that they were all
dead.
No, my comrades, there are many of this
grand old Division left, but they aro all
modest, and the division needs no one to
toot its horn. It wrote its history on the
greatest battlefields of the war. No divis
ion in the army has a prouder record. The
gallantry of the old division at Fair Oaks,
where it turned a rout into a victory; its
heroic defense of the "Bloody Lane "at
Antietam; the gallant charge at Fredericks
burg under Hancock, in which Caldwell's
Brigade lost 46 per cent, killed and wounded ;
the gallant fighting at Chancellorsville; the
charge under Caldwell at Gettysburg, July
2, through the historic Wheatficld to tho
position of the Fourth Brigade montiments,
the farthest in advance attained by any
troops at Gettysburg; the gallant fighting
of the division at Auburn and Bristoe Sta
tion; at Mine Run and Morton's Ford; the
masterly retreat across the Po May 10, 1864,
under a heavy fire and the burning forests;
the grandest and most successful charge
made by any troops during the war, at Spot
sylvania, May 12, by the whole corps, in
which about 5,000 prisoners were captured,
including artillery, Bmall-armB and colors,
and its gallant behavior in many other en
gagements proved the stamina of its men
and leaders.
The division lost in killed and mortally
wounded 4,594 men, a loss equal to and
greater than many whole corps in tho army
sustained.
It captured 44 stands of colors and as
many guns from the enemy before it lost
one. It lost its first gun at Po River, where
the horses became unmanageable from the
fire and smoke, and wedged one gun between
two trees in such a shape it was impossible
to extricate it, so it had to be abandoned.
Of the 46 regiments, including the heavy
artillery regiments, thatlost 200 ormore men,
the old First Division furnished nine, viz.:
5th N. H., 295; 7th N. Y. H. A., 291 ; 69th
N. Y., 259; 28th Mass., 250; 2d N. Y. H. A.,
214; 148th Pa., 210; 81st Pa., 208; 145th
Pa., 205; 53d Pa., 200. And of the 46 regi
ments in the army losing 200 or more, the
corps furnished 17.
The Government recognized tho old divis
ion at the close of the war, and wo find Gen.
Miles and Gen. Brooke, two civilians when
the war broke out, and later Colonels and
Brigadier-Generals in, the old division, wear
ing tho stars of Generals in the Regular
Army, bought by your bravery ; and if Gen.
Barlow had desired Army life thero would
have been three of them. Tiios. Osborn,

A IarInj?'DeKl.
TJGUST E. ZEITLER, M. D., Ser-
geaut-Major, 109lh Pa., Florence,
N. J., says that at 10 o'clock in
the morning, at Gettysburg, his
division (tho White SiaV) confronted Stone
wall Jackson's old command. ' The ground
between was ecantily wooded with half
grown oaks, and tliereHva a space inter
vening that a pistol-shot would span. At
this time the firing was desultory. "Sud
denly there appeared among us from the
rear a young negro, without uniform, but
with a musket and a cartridge-belt. He
spoke to no one, but moved steadily and
rapidly towards tho iront, soon passing be
yond the line. Scores of men yelled at him
to come back, that ho would be killed, but
he gave no heed. He sought no cover, but
with a calm diguity advanced to midway
between the contending lines. Here he
halted, leaned his gun against a tree, which
he climbed. Forty feet or more in the air
he rested. Now he could see over and be
yond the enemy's breastworks, and his pur
pose waB clear. Tho significance of his
action was noted by all, for he was doing the
right thing at the right time. For full three
minutes the negro surveyed the ground.
Then he leisurely descended from his perch,
and as calmly aud fearlessly as before re
traced his steps. Ho gave us information to
the effect that the enemy was massing and
manuvering behind the breastworks as if to
chargeus, and then he disa)peared. Half an
hour elapsed in anxious suspense. Then the
enemy appeared in serried lines, their ban
ners waving brightly. Now the muskets
from thousands of men volleyed, defiantly
Union cheers answered rebel yells, nnd the
third day's battle at Gettysburg was fairly
on."
Whoro aro They?
David Holliugworth, Co. E, 1st U.S. Chas
seurs, Fall River, Mass., says that at Fair
Oaks he wa3 wounded, taken sick on the
field with typhoid fever, and got so weak he
could only crawl, having put off going to the
doctor until too late. When the Union forces
wereTdriven on Saturday, the 31st of May,
1862, he was left behind and takeu prisoner.
He wants to hear from the mnu who capt
ured him. While tho rcb was trying to get
him to the rear several Johnnies came up
and insisted that the writer should be bay
oneted. But the first reb carried the day.
He carried him back, put him on tho back
of a horse, and then into an army wagon.
He finally reached a depot and took tho
train for Libby. The writer also wants to
hear from the young prisoner of dark com
plexion, hair curly, smooth face, who at
tended to his wants in tho hospital after tho
fever left him. The young man took h'S
watch, which he had managed to keep from
the sight of the rebs by hanging it inside of
his vest, and sold it to a rebel guard for $10
in scrip. With the money he got a quarter
pound of tea and some dried peaches. By
the time tho writer's money was gone ho
was able to eat the mhggotty soup and meat
the rebels providedj He wan afterward
transferred to another room', and never saw
his hospital friend again.
The National Tribune would like to
know what has become of the comrade who
a few years ago contributed several humor
ous articles and signed; them "Cui Bono."
Come on, Bojjb.
A. P. Connolly invites all the comrades
who come to Chicago to make his rooms
511 and 512, No. 56 Fifth avenue, their
headquarters. Says ho: "I" have plenty of
room, writing material, clean towels, combs
and brushes, and all information they may
desire, and that I can giy,o free. If they do
not accept my hospitality it will not be my
fault. The door is ajar from 9. a. m. until 6
p. ru."
A Patriotic Family.
T. D. McGillicuddy, Bradford, Pa., writes:
"I de3ire to furnish the record of a family
of patriotic young men who responded to
their conntry's call: On Dec. 1, 1861, in
Cranberry Township, Venango Co., Pa., at
the age of 15, James Stroupp enlisted in Co..
1, 105th Pa., at Camp Jamison, Alexandria,
Va. He was injured by shell explosion at
Fredericksburg ; he was captured by ayoung
rebel, whom he induced to come into onr
lines and join the Union army. Dec. 31,
1863, he re-enlisted in same company as a
veteran. He participated in all the engage
ments in which his regiment took part, and
was discharged from United States service
at Pittsburg, Pa., July 25, 1865. The following-named
were in commands that bore
a conspicuous part in theeervice: Samuel
Stroupp, leader of band in the 105th Pa.;
Thomas Stroupp, 83d Pa.; William Stroupp,
11th Pa.; Adam, Israel, and Edward, in the
4li Pa. Cav.; George Stroupp, 16th Pa. Cav.
Four of these young men now sleep in sol
diers' graves. Adam Stroupp, father of this
family, served all through the Mexican war,
and the maternal grandfather served in Brit
ish army during the Revolutionary war."
With a "View to Matrimony.
F. L. Feighner, Notary Public, Peoria,
HI., writes for Mrs. C. A. Woodrow, that
she desires to correspond with comrades,
with a view to matrimony. Mrs. Wood
row, he says, is a remarkably well-preserved
woman, her children are all mar
ried, and she is desirous of marrying agaiu.

swered. ' Crazy Jactc."
J. Wagley Hill,- Fairfield, 111., is very
anxious to learn, by mail, all that any com
rade knows about William Newby, other
wise known as "Crazy Jack," who was con
fined on the south side of Audersonville
Prison, near the gate, in a hole in the
ground. He moved by hopping on the heels
of his hands, and was naked, with tho ex
ception of a pair of drawers torn off at the
knee. He would often wallow in the water
and mud, and he was wonnded in tho left
anklo and in tho head. He is now in
trouble, and his attorneys aro desirous of
hearing from those who remember him dur
ing and after the war. r ,
Circumstances Alter Cases.
J. C. V., New York, N. Y.'thinks it queer
that tho 7th N. Y. N. G., which could not
parade on Memorial Day, giving as an ex
cuse that they were overworked and wished
that day for rest, shoulji offer to be roviowed
by a foreign Princc6s.0 " I am not a carper
at royalty, but do really think that if the
7th wanted to honor rdynlty'they could havo
done it very readily by parading in honor of
the thousands of American men (yes,
and Kings they were);'who 'gave their lives
to preserve our Union? What I say of the
7th can be said of several others of our so
called American regimeniij here in this
city, who, through lack of patriotism, al
lowed the sterling G9th N. Y(N. G., at which
most of them laugh, to be the only one
which showed the true American spirit on
that day."
A Man Wltlij a Barrel.
W. R. Gabbard, Co. E, 47th Ky., Aurora,
Ark., writes : " In the Winter of 1864, while
our regiment lay in Winter quarters, the
following incident occurred. Tho fire of the
company was just on top of a little hill, and
the ground was steep for 30 yards below it.
One of the boys placed a barrel, in which he
slopt, just on the turn of the hill by the fire,
and had driven a stake to prevent its rolling
down. One night I passed by and heard
him snoriug. I stopped and looked around,
but there was no one stirring. I could not
resist tho temptation, so I pulled up the
take and gave tho barrel a kick. Down the
hill it rolled. The fellow staid in the barrel
PICKET -SHOTS,
.JLjL
until it changed ends and spilled him out.
I took to my heels and into my tent I went.
But of all the improper language I ever
heard, that delivered to tho night air by the
man with the barrel was the worst. Ho
offered a roward of $10 to anyone who would
find out who did it;hut he never found out.
Tho poor comrade is dead now."
Another llarrel Story.
G. W. Jones, Co. C, 2Gth Iud., Turon. Kan.,
tells of an incident after his being released
from confinement at Tyler, Tex., July 22,
1864. Some time in the next month the
body of ex-prisoners encamped at Donald
sonville, La. A steamer came to the land
ing, a quarter of a mile below, and unloaded,
among other things, a half-dozen barrels of
sorghum molasses, as they supposed. Now,
during the seven months that our comrade
and his friends had been the guests of the
so-called Southern Confederacy, they had
contracted a chronic hunger. The writer
aud Lafayette East had a special longing
for sorghum molasses about this time, aud
their appetites being stronger than their
consciences, they planned to take in one of
the above-mentioned barrels, and incident
ally to replenish their Btock of fractional
currency by supplying the wants of their
fellow-comrades. That night they divested
themselyes of unnecessary clothing, nnd
waded down-strenm. They made a bold
attack on one of the barrels, but somehow
the feel of it was nob just right, and the
stuff that leaked out of it was more sticky
than even molasies, and interfered with their
stepping around. An examination revealed
tho fact that pine pitch filled the barrels,
not molasses. The boys decided that they
did not care for a whole barrel of pitch ;
indeed, what they had on their feet was
enough for all their wants, and they sadly
waded back to camp, and spent tho rest of
the night in scouring their feet with rags
aud sand. The story got out somehow, and
stuck to them even more persistently than
the pitch. The comrade wants to hear from
some of his regiment.
They I.ovo tho Old National Tribune.
John J. Waggoner, Co. L, 10th Ohio Cav.,
Jeffersonville, Ind., writes: "I have .been a
subscriber for more than fiveyears,andl think
The National Tribune is the best friend
the old soldiers ever had. I shall take it as
long as possible."
J. E. Burkhart, Lamar, Kan., writes:
"You are making a brave stand. Those
open letters on the pension situation are
right to the point, and better or fairer could
not be written. They breathe the spirit of
brotherly love aud true loyalty."
T. D. G. Smith, Co. D, 1st Del., Philadel
phia, Pa., writes: "Let me thank you in tho
name of several of my comrades in this city
for the way you have thrown hot shot into
the ranks of the pension-haters. Wo hope
you will keep up the good work. I cannot
get along without the dear old National
Tribune."
Homes for Settlers.
W. H. H. Benefiel, Sergeant, Co. G, 17th
Ind. Mt. Inf., Harriman, Tenn., writes:
" This town is famous for its good citizen
ship, nnd is free from the curse of the saloon.
City or farm land can be purchased at a
reasonable price, and on good terms. We
have a good, lively G.A.R. Post, composed of
comrades from nearly all parts of the United
States, who have come here on account of
tho healthful climate, and away from the
cold blizzards of the North and West. So
far our fair city has been delightfully ex
empt from the storms and tornadoes that
have swept over so many other parts of the
country. So far as we can learn from " the
oldest inhabitant" this part of Tennessee
has never known a serious, destructive storm.
I have recently come here from the cold
North to cast my lot with the old vets in
the Sunny South."
Benjamin F. Force, 37th Ind., Dit, Mo.,
writes: "I would say to all Northern com
rades wanting homeB in a warmer climate
that we have a good climate, cheap land,
pure water, outside range for stock, and ar'a
in the great fruit belt of south Missouri."
Must Not Claim Too Much.
Joseph Morford, Orange Hights, Fla., and
several other comrades enter an objection
to tho wholesale statement of Comrade R.
A. Moss that the colored troops beat the
rebels at Helena, Ark. The colored troops
were in the bottom below the town and re
pulsed the enemy at that point, but that
.was not all of the battle. They are willing
to give the colored troops the proper credit
for what they did, and they did some noble
work at many places, but they must not
claim too much.
Random Shots.
In renewing his subscription Comrade E.
B. Paul, Worthington, Minn., says that tho
15th of June always brings vivid recollec
tions of that date in 1864, when he lay at
the foot of Kenesaw Mountain wounded
twice, aud in the hands of the rebels, be
ginning an imprisonment which lasted until
April, 1865.
Edwin P. Walker, Captain, Co. A, 89th
111., 4123 Lake avenue, Chicago, was Private,
Corporal, Sergeant, Second Lieutenant, First
Lieutenant, and Captain within two years
after enlistment. He was on the roll of
honor as a Corporal, and was selected as
Buch in the Light Battalion of Willich's
Brigade when it went to Tullahoma, Tenn.
Tho comrade served three years.
The 58th Ind.
The regiment was organized at Princeton
and Indianapolis, from Nov. 12 to Dec. 22,
1861, to serve three years, and re-enlisted at
the expiration of its term of service, being

Carr resigned Jnue 23, 1862, succeeded
.by George P. Buell, who was brevetted
Brigadier-General Jan. 12, 1865. The regi
ment was attached to Sheridan's Division, of
the Fourth Corps, and its total loss amounted
to 258 officers and men. Of these, four offi
cers and 60 men were killed in action, and
two officers aud 192 men died of disease, by
accident, or in prison. According to the re
port of jiieut.-Col. James T. Embree, in the
Official Records, who was in command at
that time, the regiment when at Chicka
mauga chad 397 officers and men actually
engaged. The total loss of the regiment in

one officer and 24 men missing, and two offi
cers and seven men captured ; making's total

able to remain in the ranks.
FATALLY WOUNDED.
How Soldiers
Act when Stricken
the rield.
Down on
Washington Post.
"We have all heard accounts," says Jlnj. L.
T. Morris, of tho 3d Cav., " of how men stricken
npon tho field call upon their mothers, how
their thoughts drift back to their old homo, and
how they dio with momorics of happy days
forcing their way to their lips. I have never
aeon anything of the kind. My exporionco
with those fatally wounded is that anger aud
tho spirit of strife dominate them to the last.
It is possible that if a man lies for many hours
unattended, in his delirium ho may wauder
back to peaceful scenes; but generally ho will
rave against the fate which has overtaken him
and curge his luck so long as thero is any
breath leYt iu him.
"I recollect that at Gettysburg wo charged
and captured a Confederate battery which had
suflbred terribly. Most of tho battery was dis
mounted, aud not many people were loft to work
tho guns that wero whole. Lying across a gun,
faco downward, was a young fellow whoso
gasping breathing attracted our attention. Ho
had boon shot through tho lung, was choking
with the blood, and wa3 dying then. We
turned him over. He had had a half hour of
igony, and one would have supposed that his
thoughts would havo been in other placos.
'My shot,' he gasped excitedly, 'my shot,'
and so passed away. Evidently ho had dis
charged his pieco just before receiving tho
wound which translated him, aud tho inter
vening time had boon a blank."
