The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1883-08-30

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
l am reader of your paper and am deeply
in love with it. | could not do without it, [
have just read with pleasure an article from
Sergeant w. L. Johnson, Go. s, Fifteenth Mas
saehusctts volunteer infantry, entitled Where
the Flag was Welcome Sight" The sergeant
had references to the nag as it appeared on
Marye's Heights when the light brigade of the
Second division. Sixth Corps, made their gal
liant charge in May, 1863.
The Sixtyfirst regiment, Pennsylvania vol
unteer infantry, had the advance at the time
on the plank road leading from the city to the
heights, and after unslinging knapsacks and
hayersacks aud piling them in company piles
on the sidewalk, every man was ordered to
take his canteen and fill it with water. We
We're then Informed by Colonel Spear, COM
manding the Sixty-frst, that we were to
charge Marye's Heights, and would move at
o'clock p. H. We had but an hour to wait,
and it seemed very short one to me, but it
gave us time to recall the repulse of the Irish
brigade and their slaughter the year previous
At the same place.
When the order came TO fall in, each man
took his place i'll the ranks quietly, with look
that seemed to say he would conquer or die.
The head OF the column soon reached the street
running TO the heights and filed left We were
now in view of the heights and not over 500
yards from the rebels They soon opened with
their artillery, and we were ordered TO double
quick. as we went by, women came to their
doors crying: For Gods sake don't take those
men up there. They will all be killed." But
we soon reached the bridge over the canal, and
when fairly on it the rebels opened on us
with a gun which they had masked in the
cut which the road made in the heights.
They had a rai1ing fire. and many brave boy
OF the Sixty-frst there gave up his life for the
dear Old flag. Colonel Spear was among the
slain. | was in the color-guard in that charge
when the sergeant was shot. was on his left
and caught the colors before they went down,
and carried them up on Marye's Heights. As l
waved them there | thought, as did Sergeant
Johnson, that they never looked brighter. 1t
was then that caps few high, but when l gazed
back on that bridge aud saw how many of our
brave boys of the noble old Sixty-tirst had
given their lives for their country's flag, with
burning cheeks bathed its folds with tears.
l have been waiting for some time to hear
from some one of the Sixty-frst, for we cannot
be deprived of our share of honor in the charge
upon Marye's Heights in May, 1868.

Hand Over the Pastry, cOmrade,

Eleventh Ohio battery lost fifty-fo men, and

sad history, aud we boast of nothing but the
heroism displayed. There were others who
showed the same spirit of devotion TO country.
The above brigade had the honor also of saw

which an account has been published in THE
TRIBUNE.
In regard to fighting families, will say that
my great grandfather was IN the French and
Indian war OF 1865; my grandfather was in
the Revolutionary war, and was starved in a

capture of Fort Fisher. THOMAS Cox,
WILLoUGHBY, o. Mate, U. S. s. Yantic.


To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
On lovely June morning in 1862, sloop
was fired into and taken possession of by the
rebels on the Rappahannock River, about eight
miles below Fredericksburg. At the time, the
First New jersey cavalry was picketing the
north bank of the river, Immediately opposite
where this occurred, and the officer in charge of
the pickets at once notified the commanding
officer of the regiment aud word was given,
" Fail in, battalion !" Never did troopers obey
with more alacrlty and Ill less time than it takes
to write it, the lines were dressed, counted off,
and the command rang quick and sharp " By
fours, march, doubie-quiek, march y and away
we went down the slope and across the plain.
On reaching the river there was such wild
rush into the boats that the Johnnies at first
seemed paralyzed; then, firing few random
shots, they incontinently fed. The movement
had resulted favorably and without any cas-
uality on our side.
If any one can imagine the feelings that
animated the first Napoleon when he saw the
:" Old Guard wrench victory from the almost
victorious standards of the foe, he might form
an idea of the intense emotion exhibited by
Col. Joseph Karge, when so much spirit and
dash was displayed by his men. Stamping his
feet and gestieulating wildly, he exclaimed:
Brave Jersey boys! brave jersey boys goes
through -- with my Jersey bOys!"
A portion of the vessels cargo was fresh fish
and live hogs, and some of the boys claimed
that, owing to the superabundanee of fish
bones, they were not able to remove their shirts
for three weeks afterwards, while respecting
those who ate the pork it has, perhaps, been
unjustly insinuated that they were soon there
after covered all over with bristles that have
remained, and distinctly characterize them
even to this day.
Among well informed people grave doubts
exist whether certain cavalry regiment in the
Army of the Potomac captured rebel gun
boat in the middle of the James River, but a
truthful chronicler of the stirring incidents of
the late war should not fail to note that bat
talon of the First New Jersey cavalry actu-
allv did make a successful charge upon rebel
sloop on the opposite side of the Rappahannoek
River and bring her safely into port.

The Sixth Wisconsin Battery at corlnth.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Some months since / noticed an article in
the columns of THE TRIBUNE which stated
that at the battle of Corinth, Miss, Oh the 4th
day of October, 1862, the Sixth Wisconsin bat
terry skedaddled. Having been a member of
that organization during the late war; | took
part with my command in that memorable
fight, where it has been claimed that Dillon's
battery feel back during the second days
battle. l was indeed surprised to see this
false statement in The NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
Permit Inc to make a short statement relative
to the part taken by the Sixth Wisconsin light
battery in the battle. Our battery was assigned
to Hamiltons division, and during the first
days fight, October 5, although not having
the privilege of using our guns, two of our
men were wounded. But on the morning of
the 18th we took position on the extreme right
of our line, with the Eightieth Ohio as our
support and the Tenth Iowa and the Tenth
missouri infantry as a reserve. We occupied
point on the prolongation of hill, joining
General Davis division. Owing to sickness
and death by disease, our ranks were thinned
and We had only thirty-ni men to man the
SIX guns which composed our battery. Davies
division was driven back, and with them the
Eightleth Ohio, leaving US TO defend our posi-
ton against more than ten times our number
Our boys stood by their guns until they were
driven back at the point of rebel bayoiets, and
al gun NO. L. only one man was letU-braVe old
Charley Neefe, the gunner of that piece Great
credit was given the Regulars who manned
Fort Rohbinett, VINO only lost one man
and fought from behind breastworlls, but little
notice was made of the volunteer battery from
Wisconsin, who stood at their guns and fought
with desperation, leaving more than half their
number dead aud dying around their guns,
who never yielded foot of ground, but poured
into the ranks Of the enemy grape and canister
dealing death and destruction to the forces Of
Price and Van Dorm, and only left their guns
when driven back at the point of rebel bayo-
nets.
Yet, this is the battery which is claimed by
someone as having slledaddled at that memor-
! able fight, where the forlorn hope was composed
of those Sixth Wisconsin battery boys Capt

| whose record as military man had no super

on the 18th of January, 1882, at his home in
Wisconsin. Although but few of the Sixth Wis
consin battery remain of that forlorn hope of
October 4. 1862. yet they meet annually in
Reunion to talk of the various campaigns of
the Southwest, and with tears they speak of
those brave comrades they left to moulder in
the sunny South, aud Of the brave Honn,

Schofeld realized the significance of the great
blunder that had been made, scape-goat had
to be found and General Wagner was relieved
from the command of the division.

and written history laud the general in COM
