OBITUARY..
rsrsIculars Coneernfng the Demise
Of y. blaine Wnlker.

Esrsscuiers COmcermfmg the Demise
Of y. Blaine walker.
The Montana Independent Of last Sun.
day contains the following notice of thu
death Of Mr.. Walker, to which we have
already made q brief reference:
Z. Blaine Walker. eldest son of Major
and Mrs. X. O. Walker, died at his home
IN this city yesterday morning, after an
Illness OF eight months with intermittine
periods OF improved health. Blaine wss
taken with rheumatism last January,
shortly after the Legislature met, and was
naoie to be about again until late in the
spring. He was still feeble and hoping
mat q little outdoor life would be beue
nciai. he went on . hunting excursion 10
fiatnead Lake, accompanied by q younger
brother. Although the trip seemed to
neip him, he received a back-set by taking
q severe cold, which was followed by an
attack OF pneumonia, and he returned
nome much enfeebled. Since that time
his decline has been gradual, but sure, and
ior a week or 10 days past his life has
trem bl in the balance. His death was
painless, calm and peaceful.
Blaine Walker was a young man of ex-
ceptional brilliancy and culture in art,
music and letters, and was q great f~avorite
IN Helena society. For several months
last year he filed the position Of city
editor OF the Helena Daily Herald, and
throughout the Territory was recognized
as one OF the ablest and brightest writers
IN the ranks Of Montana journalism. His
death will be heard Of with deep regret
and with universal sympathy for the be-
reaved family. But there should be con-
ISOLATION in the knowledge that to the
mourners only-not to the dead-is death
An affection. For
Death is the port where all may refuge find:
The end Of labor, entry into rest;
Death hath the bounds of misery confined
Its sanctuary shrouds affection best.

Banks in the Valley,
To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
In your preliminary remarks relative to the
Shenandoah Valley, in yourpaper ofSeptember
10, there are some statements which are likely
TO mlslead. You say, for instance: Then came
Banks occupying the valley with heavy force
only to retire in hot haste before the avenging
blows of Jackson in May of the same year
tls62), who continued the pursuit as far as
Hailtown, within two miles of Harper's Ferry,
remaining until the end of the month";" &C.
The fact is, jackson first struck General Banks
at Front Royal, Va, May %, 1862, where the
First Maryland infantry (Union) and q small
force OF cavalry and two pieces of Knap's Penn
syivanla battery, under the command of Col
John r. Kenly-less than I,500 men altogether
We're routed by a largely superior force of
rebels. General Banks headquarters were at
Strasburg, and during the next day May pa
his command was concentrated at Winchester,
where sharp fight was had Sunday morning
May 25, 1862. Banks "heayy force when
Jackson struck him first was probably not over
5000 Infantry, three batteries of light artillery
and perhaps 1000 cavalry, and about all the
force at Front Royal was rendered useless for
the next few days. His force at Winchester.
May % 1862, was two brigades of infantry ten
Parrotts guns, and one battery of 6-pounder
smooth bores and about 900 cavalry. These
were all that were engaged in the fight The
there were also five companies of the First
Maryland cavalry there, all told less than 1000
infantry,-not a heavy force" to meet $1,000
or 10000 Johnnies led by Jackson The troops
engaged were beaten by sheer force of numbers,
and the retreat was to Martinsburg, and from
thence to the Potomac, at Willamsport, above
Harpers Ferry, and not to Halltown or near
it; and the force that went to Halltown were
not pursuing" Banks command, but hoping
to gobble up Harper's Ferry. We left VIM
chester May 25th, and jackson did not have
many days in which to "reInain until the end
of the month" We returned to Martinsburg
June lst, and the rebs had gone some time be-
fore that. think the forces of Banks, Nc
Doweli and Fremont combined did not aggre-
gate half of the 10000 men /" that you say
We're neutralized" by Jackson. jackson
came down the valley with force three or
four times that of Banks, defeated him, turned
right back and defeated Mcdowell and Ere
mont IN detail, outnumbering every force that
he fought with. III. A. TRIPp,

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
have lately read several accounts of the
battle of Wilson Creek, No. They are gener-
ally correct as TO the principal features of that
battle, but there is Que fact which they all fail
to mention, namely, the manner in which Gen.
Siegel lost his guns. 1t is generally believed
that they were taken during the charge of the
Confederate infantry, but that is mistake
indeed, / always thought it queer that the
rebels should have left one out of the five be-
hind. And the thing was mystery even to
the writer until January, 1863, when he re-
turned TO Springfield. No., and in conversation
with number Of persons who witnessed the
close OF the fight aud the retreat of the Confed-
federates, learned that four of the guns occu-
pied the wagon road, anG when the rebels re-
treated were forced along with them So the
capture was accidental and was not made dur
ing charge, az has been hitherto supposed.
The fact is the rebels had all the fighting they
wanted that day, and it lasted them for many
days afterwards. For confirmation Of the truth
o. this statement beg leave to refer to any of
Seigeis inen who may yet be alive.
