SIR: Permit me to correct mistake IN your re-
cord Of names of the brave men who fell in the
recent battle at Charlottesville. Among those Of
the llth corps who are reported as having doue
their whole duty by their country, and nobly GUS
taired the honor of their flag TO the last, were the
foiloging officers Of the 10Th New-fork Volun-
teers viz: - Col. Elias Peissner, Lieut.. Peissner
Lieut.. Lewis, Capt. Solmeriu." Instead of Capt
somerin, the last of these names should read Capt
.SctwriH.
Cant. s. is the con Of gentleman now OF Sche.
uecradv. formerly German merchant OF tins city,
TIE family is well known TO many of our citizens az
one Of tho highest rsspectabiity and worth. Young
sehwerin was a member Of the senior class OF Union
College lie was severely wounded and left upon
the field, where he fell into the hands Of the enemy.
His wounds have since proved mortal.
The brave Colonel fell mortally wounded az bis
post. and the three officers named shared his gal
lautry and his danger and were struck down ut his
side while endeavoring TO prevent the fearful rout
Of their corps.
Capt. Schwerin has the strongest claim upon his
countrys grateful recognition Of his herosn.

An ERROR CORRECTED.

Our a1niable neighbor, the Journal, &C
cuses the TRIBUNE with opposing Gen
Grants plans when he made the first great
movements now progressing for the cap
ture Of Vicksburg.
What the TRIBUNE said about Grants
campnign was, that it had but little faith
in the numerous canals his army were dig.
ging; that 1t did not believe Vicksburs
could be taken, before the sickly season
setin, by excavations and cutoff, though il
might be well to try them to satisfy him
self and others Of their inutility. It said
that Vicksburg could only be captured By
hard fighting, by throwing the army into
it's rear and taking it By cannon, musket1y
and hard knocks We thought SO last
winter and think so now. Grants style Of
fighting is not with the spade and pick
he is not at home with these implements,
but with shot, shell and bayonet- He has
faith in them, so has his army.
When We heard that portion of Por-
ter's feet had run the batteries, and that
Grant was moving his army below War
renton down to the mouth Of the Big
Black for march upon the rear Of Vicks-
burg, our faith in lis ultimate triumph
rose at once, and has not since absted one
particle. We believe hewill capture the city
and the rebel army defending it, Like
the loyal masses, what We most earnestly
desire is success; aud we believe that
Grant and his army will shortly achieve
the most brilliant and important SUCCESS
of the war. We are for the General tlat
wins; that's cur platform, from the day
that the first gun was fred, and will be,
until the last rebel is vanquished.
