In the Independent Of May 9th, l see that refer

John lIimmelman, with his company. Yes, "John'

We Didn't Go to War" In nutshell?
In the same paper we notice an item concerning
the catching Of white bass, wherein the hdepcn-

"fully realized what it was to be a steamboat ~

In the JOURNAL Of June LIST notice q card sign
cd ]. Tyler, Esq, in reference to a paragraph
which appeared In one of my former letters. The
statement which made and which he desired to
explain, was TO the effect that while member of
Company A, 6ith Battalion o. N. O., he endeavor-
cd TO obtain the position Of Quartormaster Of the
Battsliou--but failing in this he also failed to
make his appearance at Columbus with the COM
pany, Mr.. Tyler does not deny my statement, but
claims legal exemption. Concerning the "legality"
of his remaining at home, have nothingto say
but there are few items in his +" card" which
may properly be noticed. In effect, he states that
the reason why he applied for the position of
Quartcrmaster, was because he twas informed that
no exemptions for physical unfitness for service
would be made" Does Mr.. Tyler pretend to say
that he believed such nformaton-did he believe
that person who had once Joined the company.
and since lost n leg, would be compelled to march;
or that one who had lost arm would be forced
to handle muskot or that ono who was blind
would be punished for not properly acting as SEN
tinel or that a man would have TO perform hard
duties, when he could scarcely "get breath enough
to sustain life 2" Does he, or did he, believe any
such propostorous information as this Ger
tainly not-unless he has adopted vallandighams
views concerning the barbarsm Of our State and
National authorities.
MR. hiSo rcpTe entS tnat tno Onlcers Oh tnlS
company signed his discharge, of their Gown ac-
cord which expression, as l understand ii,
means that they signed II without any invitation or
request TO do so-and that this took place "but
feo minutes" " before the company left Perrysburg.
One Of the officers of this company informs me
that he was applied to by Mr.. Tyler to sign
discharge, or an application for one, about two
days before the company left Perrysburg and,
lhs, too, whilo that gentleman was yet ende avor-
ing to obtain the position Of Quartermaster anoth-
er signed by request, about noon, on the day we
left and the other officer says he might have
signed II few minutes before the Battalion start
cd, although he don't reoolect of signing it at all.
Does this look as though exemption was urged
upon him by the officers Of this company.
Mr.. Tyler says that when his discharge was first
made out, he hesitated whether to "take it or re.
fuse it," but circumstances and the advice of
friends prevailed" and he "remained at home"
Had he been offered the position which he sought,
is II probable that he would have hesitated about
accepting it, or that " circumstances aud the ad-
vice of friends" could have prevailed upon him to
remain at homer
Let II be understood that do not question the
propriety of Mr.. Tyler's exemption--that is
matter for medical men to decide, aud with which
] have nothing to do. But after he had made the
efforts which he did to obtain the Quartermaster's
position; after he had thus urged his ability and
manifested his willingness to serrs his couatry, if
he could obtain commission and good salary
believe that he was bound, by all considera-
tions of honor and self respect to il his place in
the ranks-either by person or by substitute af-
ter this a" legal" exemption might DO given him
but notone which he sould konorobiy accept.
Idiscaim all desire to do Mr., Tyler, or any
one else, injustice Il believe that what have writ
ten is true, and It is ast that the truth be known
do not entertain the slightest feelings of ill-win
toward him-neither have the least sympathy
with that class ofpatriots who are always camor-
GUS to servo their country if Il can be done with
honor aud profit, but who are likewise the frst to
skirk such service when II is attended by ,rork and
Airtoea do|ldp per moaAi That Mr.. Tyler belongs
to this class do not assert the circumstances are
well known to the people of Wood county let
each one decide for himself aud il the tayis war
rant it, sincerely hope the verdict will be unani
mously in Mr., Tyier's favor.
