What the Soldiers Saw.

Mr. EDrroR:-Your paper OF the 10th ult.
contained an article copied from the Hartford
Post, entitled "What the Soldiers Saw" IN
which were some very erroneous statements,
which, as most of the parties mentioned are
still living, might cause ''hard blood" if it
did not already exist The writer evidently
was there, and remembered some of the facts,
and drew on his imagination to fill in the
blanks and make a readable story. That my
brother risked his life to succor wounded sol
der was true; that he deliberately walked out
from the shelter Of the embankment is not
true, for he endeavored to reach the sufferer
by crawling flat on the ground, until he knew
he was discovered by the "rebs" who were FIR
ing at him, and to save his life, and still per-
form his errand, he pretended to be wounded,
but able to limp along, and was then captured
as described. AS to meeting my brother on
our return from Ship Island that was impossi-
BILE, for he left for home with the Major before
we went down the river, and at that time
ought to have been in Portland. The rest was
an invention, for my father had been dead
many years, never was in a law suit. and never
saw or heard of Lit. Col. Ilsley. That there
was some ill-feeiing on the part OF the Lit. Col.
] do not deny, bnJ it originated from trivial
cause, aid we are willing to let by-gones be
by-gones. have only to say that we endeav-
ored to do our duty faithfully in camp and
field and are not ashamed of our record.
Yours, &c., G. III. BLAKE,
