To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
have read Comrade Hutchinson's corrections of
Comrade Fishs article on the Fourteenth Corps at
Lovejoy Station, and wish to say that he is mis-
taken IN his statements He says he belonged to
company +, Flfty-second o. " l., Third brigade,
Second division Fourteenth Corps. He should
have said the Second brigade instead of the Third
brigade for the Second brigade of the Second divi
sion was composed of the following regiments ::
Eighty-tifth, Eighty-sixth, and One Hundred and
Twenty-fifth Illinois volunteer infantry, and the
Twenty-second Indiana and Fifty second Ohio vol
unteer infantry. Colonel Dan. McCook command
ed The brigade until the charge on Kenesaw Noun
tain, June p, 1884, when he was MORALLY wounded
dying on the 18th of July succeeding. Now, we
had no fight at Lovejoy Station. 1t was at Jones'
boro', the first day of September, 1864. If
there any fighting done at Lovejoy, ii was on
the I'd of September, and was done by other troops
than those of the Second Division of the Four
teenth Corps. The Second division was commanded
by General j. ID. Morgan and General jeff. C. Davis
had command of the corps in that battle. The
Second division went no further south than Jones'
boro', where we laid few days, and then, on the
18th OF September, marched back to Atlanta with
500 prisoners. hope some comrade who partici-
pated in the charge Kenesaw Mountain will

No One in Front But the Enemy.

/ beg leave to differ with Comrade Putnam, Of
the Twenty-fiftli Massachusetts, when he states
that my regiment, the Tenth Connecticut, sup
ported his at Roanoke Island. There was no one
III front of our regiment but the enemy for about
three hoursA The comrade at my right and the
one at my left We're both shot down by my side
and two rebel bullets passed through my own coat.
Here is my military record: / enlisted the day
after Old Abe called for rs. GEO men in company f.
First Connecticut volunteers, (Worcester Guards
Captain Wildman commanding, for three months
and was In the first battle at Bull Run. When my
term expired came home and re-enlisted for three
years in company b, Tenth Connecticut and went
out with Burnside's expedition took part in the
battles of Roanoke, New Bern Kingston and several
other skirnlshes that afterwards took place; went
through the siege of Morris Island, and was finally
taken prisoner at st. Augustine, December 30 1868
was eleven months in the hands of the rebels,
seven of which passed at Andersonyille. The

The Question of Surprise at Cedar Creek.

10 the ECltor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
feel that ought 10 say something in honor of
THE TRIBUNE for il is better than any history of the
late that i have read. In your issue of
May IT, Mr. i. ii. Sampson of Morris, ILL.,. asked
the members of Sheridan's cavalry corps whether,
IN their opinion, there was surprise at Cedar
Creek. Now, while / was not a member of the
cavalry corps, am old veteran of company T.,
Eighteenth Indiana V. V. L., and think can give
an opinion on this question just well any
member of the cavalry corps, for present at
the battle If We were not surprised there do
not understand why. Our brave commander Phil
Sheridan, having gone to Washington on official
business, had left General Wright in command
during his absence. On the morning of October 10
1865, brigade was ordered up before daylight
a reconnaissance in front. The day was Just break
ing when we formed in line, but at that moment
we heard the pickets firing III front and pres
emily they came in upon pell nell, so we drew
up the pike and there received the rebels.
Well, We were forced back gradually and had re-
treated probably couple of miles, when Sheridan
came dashing up the road ON his black steed, from
Winchester, like a whirlwind. He rode up the
line hat IN hand, shouting III intervals 10 be
heard by all, Never mind. cheer up boys, we
viii have our old camp before night" IL put new
life into every man Of us, and when he ordered
the charge, started the rebels the run and
kept them going until we had reached and passed
old ostinp-ground again, and only stopped
when night overlook us, and the cavalry were left
TO follow up the pursuit. The rebels had taken
thiTty-two cannon from us that morning before the
artillery could hitch up, and make way with them,
and think that looked mighty like q surprise.
The next morning, however, counted seventy
