To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUxE:

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
In your issue OF June 2sth there are some "ren-
iniscences of the first battle Of the war; in which
the writer says The first smputation of the war
was performed by Surgeon New. Of the Seventh
Indiana. mt this time and place, tPhilippi W. Va
June 3, lS6,l upon the leg of Confederate citizen
WIZ not some one who present or
knows of this shot &mputation please speak
through the columns of The TRIBUNE?H
The Confederate citizen referred to was James r.
Hanger, who had driven a load of supplies to the
Churchville cavalry, of which two OF his brothers
were officers. Upon young Hangers return to the
Confederacy, being youth of great mechanical
genius, he invented for himself wooden leg and
before the close of the war established cutie a
prosperous business in that line. After the war,
the state of Virginia, through its Legislature,
awarded him q contract to furnish one thousand
wooden legs to the one-legged ex-Confederates In
this State, whereupon he removed to the city of
Richmond, and IS now conducting the manufacture
there. He Is iiberal-minded public spirited cit
izen. have just sent him copy of the last num-
Der of THE TRIBUNE, and he VIII. no doubt give
his own story OF the first amputation of the war

Who Shot Away that Signal Flagi


1t seems that there is dispute about the firing
at the rebel signal station on Lookout Mountain.
As / understand it, there We're two signals inter-
fered with. There were also two at Fort Negley;
one at Nashville. and one at Chattanooga The
latter situated on the right of the road leading
to Iiossville and to the battle-ground of Chicla
nlauga and formerly the rebel Star fort. 1t was
finished by Negley's division and named Fort Neg
ley. Now, as TO the signal flag which was shot down
from Fort Negley, was witness ofthat event. 1t
the custom for several weeks after the battle of
Chekamauga TO march regiment into the fort every
night to guard against sudden dashes Of the enemy.
One night the Nineteenth Illinois volunteer in
fantry-the regiment to which belonged-was on
guard in the fort Soon after dark rebel signal
light was signaling across the Chattanooga Valley
to Bragg headquarters on Missionary Ridge. The
signal at the foot of the palisades and half way
between the north point of the palisades and the
road leading up on Lookout Mountain. Between
and 10 o'clock that night gun was taken out of
of the bomb-proof easements and mounted on
top of the easement and carefully sighted and fired.
The shell exploded in apparently the very spot
where the signal was seen, and there was no more
signaling from there after night

driving out the horses others had the limbers of
their pieces and there one caisson on which
was a wounded officer supported by some of his
comrades They claimed The right of way. don't
know what the captain said, but in some way he
made them understand that the checking of the
rebel advance was of more importance than the
welfare of man, and went, taking
a position on the left of the road, perhaps
quarter Of a mile beyond the Charlottesville
House. Our right piece rested on the road. and at
the first fire the gunner killed by solid shot

three times but were often driven back TO the

To the Editor NATIoNAI. TRIBUNE:

10 tne EillOT SATlONAIJ IRlBUNE.
DEAR SIR: In THE TRIBUNE of June 7th, under
the head of Chronology of the War; there is an
IN the given of the troops engaged at
10, 1864. You fail to mention the Tenth Missouri
cavalry, and l think it the Seventh instead of
the Tenth Kansas. The Third and Fourth Iowa
cavalry and the Tenth Missouri cavalry composed
brigade from shortly after the fall of Yickburg
until the close of the war, and was commanded by
Colonel Winslow of the Fourth Iowa, good a
soldier as ever drew saber, and who was pro-
NOTED TO be brigadier- general. The Third was
commanded by Colonel Noble. the Fourth by
Lieut-Coionei Peters, and the Tenth by Lieut.
Colonel Benteen, a major, l believe, in the
Regular army. The old brigade hit some hard lieks
for the old flag. and do not want any part of it
overlooked especially that taken by the Tenth
Missouri Company H Of the Tenth, was battery
company, and carried two rfed field pieces and
was commanded by Captain Joyce, and on that day
General Sturgis sent him two orders TO spike his
guns and leave them. On receipt of the second
order he told the bearer to 90 and tell General
he would give them, but he would not give them
his guns and he kept his word, and brought them
safe to Memphis My recollection is there was but
other gun saved that day; think that belonged
to the Sixth Indiana. p. BALLARD,
Late Serg Maj. 10th Mo. CAY. Vol.
DELPHI, IND.
Thanks to Comrade Ballard for the correc-
ton. Winslow's brigade, as he says, was COM
posed of the Third and Fourth Iowa and Tenth
Missouri. If the Seventh Kansas was there it
is not credited on the battle lists of that regi-
ment. Aswe have before said, we do not vouch
for the correctness of the Chronology as to
events occurring later than the year 62.-ED.l

The honors of capturing the battery at Resaca Ga,
have been claimed by the Second division and also
by the First brigade, Third division. Now, want
it put record that the Second brigade, Third

Second brigade was composed of Western men, too
viz: Twenty-second yn, Eighty-fifth and
Thirty-third Indiana Nineteenth Michigan
and were commanded by IN Coburn Of the Thr-
ty-thrd Indiana. Colonel Gilbert, of the Nineteenth
Michigan, was MORALLY wounded in that charge on
the 18th of May. and the captain of company fell
at the very mouth of of the guns, as well as
scores of other brave boys. am willing TO share
the honors with all who were engaged in that
charge and capture of the battery, for il was the
turning point in the three-days battle and required
bravery and fighting qualities OF truest type Hop

have seen several articles in THE TRIBUNE as TO
who shot away the rebel flag at Lookout Noun
tain. Now, to close the matter and give the credit
to whom il belongs, i will say that Garrett Lane,
company D. One Hundred and Fifteenth Illinois,
to be good gunner, at Lookout Mountain. He
also took aim at q rebel on horseback, just two
miles off and feled both. Mr.. Marshall Hobart
company D. One Hundred and Fifteenth Illinois,
was here TO the other day, and says he
Inenh ered the circumstance almost instantly for he
and Garrett Lane were cronies. Garrett Lane paid

some years ago. and talked over this very thing

that tried the souls of hundreds of thousands of
Americans at the front, think they would be q
little more liberal. Never can this country do too
much for the veterans of the late war, who were

any foreign domestic foe in defense of the grand
old flag, which they carried through more than
hundred battles with their old battle cry :. The
