and liver complaint and rheumatism. Since
then I have been unable to be about at all.
My liver became hard like wood; my limbs
were pulled up and filled with water. All
the best physicians agreed that nothing
could cure me. I resolved to try Hop Bit

S.eedman at Chickamauca.

10 the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
The death of General JAS B. Steedman re-
minds the writer of an incident of the battle
OF Chickamauga, of which he has seen little
mention made IN the papers. General Steed-
man, or old Chckamauga," as he was after
wards called, was in command of the 1st divis-
ion, reserve corps Gordon Granger's), Army of
the Cumberland. The reserves came UP from
the extreme left of our line, having made
quick sometimes donble-quiek) march from
McAfee church, and going into action at an OPP
perfume moment. Late in the afternoon of the
last day of the battle, during lull in the
storm, the rebels made charge upon and were
about to capture section OF Il think the I'd
Illinois battery. posted few hundred feet in
advance of the 18th Illinois infantry. Seeing
the imminent peril of the two guns, General
Steedman seized the colorS and headed bay
onet charge of that regiment repulsed the
enemy, and saved the " Napoleons,o when the
regiment was ordered to fall back. The charge
was made when not a round of ammunition
was to be found in the 1I5tli's cartridge-boxes
In this connection it may not be amiss to state
that, on the morning after the battle, while at
Rossyiile awaiting an expected attack of the
enemy, the brigade colors were presented to
that regiment for its gallantry. and a few days
later the coionel-Jesse H. Moore, late consul
of the United States to Peru-was breyeted
brigadier and personally complimented by
General Roseerans for his display of general
ship. The brigade ftlie 2d) was commanded
by General Walter Whitaker, of Kentucky,
and was known as the Iron Brigade" Can
any reader of The TRIBUNE tell what has be-
come of General Whitaker am very much
interested in reading THE TRIBUNE, aud think
it should be in the hands of every ex-soldier of
the Union army.

until the boys of the gallant It'll had crossed.
In short time the rebels crossed in force and
were coming on, and it was not long before we
saw Wilders Long Mines" peeping over the
logs in our front We knew that there would
be some music then, and by the time their tune
was played out there were no rebels in sight.

the FIRST attempt of the rebels to recapture Hat
teras, frustrated only by the prompt action of
f and Captain Braine."
Here is proposition for the veteran infantry
to discuss. Two forts, manned and equipped
and supported by at least 800 infantry,-the
9th New York and seven companies of the Goth
Indiana,-ewere saved from capture by force of
rebels, which Mr.. Winter, Captain Braine, and
the gunboat Monticello dispersed " in twenty
minutes" Comrades of the infantry and artil-
lery can that be true? And to make the
claim of Mr.. Winter. that but for the prompt
action" &c, still more ridiculous, there were
other ships of war there besides the Monticello
which he tacitly admits, when he says the
Monticello was signaled from the flagship to
cease fring-which force would have been on
hand TO have aided the forts, the artillery, and
infantry in repelling the rebel force, had it es-
capped the prompt action " of Capt. Braine and
the volcanic action Of the Monticello, and at
tackled them. The writer of that story and Capt
Braine no doubt, displayed wonderful proves,
and performed extraordinary fighting" feats
on that occasion; especially in the noble art of
gunnery, as exemplifed i'll not only the dispers-
ing of the rebel force in twenty minutes but
in the nearness with which they came to blow
ing the heads off of two of the boys of the hap
less Doth Indiana as they approached the Month
cello for is protection, no doubt. Having dis
persed the rebels so that not one could be seen,
one would naturally wonder why the Month
cello and its Braine" would send ten-inch
shell after the brains of two of the boys of the
Goth as they were coming towards the ship
unarmed But that being one of the incidents
known to but few, after a lapse of twenty-five
years, it may be passed over as though still
known to but few, or remembered only for the
deleetation of the old boys of the infantry.
