FROM MEMBER OF TEREY's BRIGADE.
To the Editor NATIONAL TRIRUNE:
You ask if some survivor of Warren's COM
mand VIII not probe his memory, and give an
account of Mine Run as he remembers it. My
memory needs no probing to recall the morn
ing OF November so, 1863
Our brigade, under General Terry, (and I
think the whole DIVISION were sent from our
own Sixth Corps to Warren's left the night
before. On that morning the line was formed
and word given out that we were to advance
al > % CLOCK W. cODIi see enough IN our lTOQG
to convince us that very few of Us could ever
live to go through that yawning hell, and we
accordingly prepared for it. Our chaplain took
trinkets, letters and messages for the dear ones
at home. We wrote and pinned cur names ON
our blOuses and waited the order to advance.
The occasion was without a parallel in my war
experience. Men who had always seOffed st
the idea of being hit, were subdued and sol
emn. 1t was, literally, death staring Us in the
face I shall never forget IL
Our brigade formed the extreme left of the
line and Captain Young Of the Second Rhode
Island who was serving on General Terry's
staff, rode down to the left to recOnnOiter, came
hastily back and told the general if he did not
instantly change front to the left we were lost.
He had seen the rebel skirmishers creeping
through the grass around cur left, and gave
the warning TO which, no doubt, we owe our
preservation. The soldiers of that brigade al
ways felt extremely grateful to General War
rem for his act of humanity on that occasion.

A Leap Into a Colorado River.

I
Frank Day, who came up from Durango the
first of the week, on horseback. met with an
adventure which undoubtedly will leave an
indelihle impression on his mind. He waited
at Needieton until the noon train passed down,
and being informed that no other train was on
the road, he took the track in preference to the
trail, had ridden some mile or more, when,
happening to look up, to his establishment he
saw the construction train going around the
curve and but few rods distant. A wall OF
rock to the left and the river to the right and
twenty feet below A moment decided, and
lifting his mare by the bride he sent the spurs
into her sides and jumped her down into the
foaming water. Fortunately no injuries We're
sustained

To the right of us, opposite where the Third
Corps boys lay, the enemy's works crossed the
railroad cut at an angle. Artillery raked this
cut across our whole front. Thirty-two pieces
showed their ugly muzzles through their
works The rebels stood ON their works and
beckoned to us to come and visit them. Not q
shot was fired from their side. To the old sol
dier it was too still. We had seen our share of
service. We had been in the thickest of the
seven days fight before Richmond, lost half our
regiment at Antietam in twenty. five minutes,
had taste of the sunken road at Freder-
ieksburg, and had felt the blow struck by
Pickett's division at Gettysburg, but never be-
fore had I ever experienced the feeling of
hopelessness that came over me that morning
when l noted the nature os the ground and
the position of the enemy's artillery To a sol
der who has seen two and half years of
active service engineering becomes a study,
and the most of us knew that when our line
should reach certain point 1t would melt
away like snow. There was no cover at hand
for the wounded, and for one made up my
mind that I'd got to die. A comrade, who had
been good soldier and good friend of mine,
said to me: johnny. if they are going to

To the EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
In replying to your letter received some weeks
since felt it important that should voice the De-
partment of Massachusetts, and in order to do so
meeting of the board of directors was called and
the question of q National Encampment discussed.
After much earnest discussion unanimous vote in
favor of the same was the result.
The second question is answered by rules
and regulations, but as few of the ladies out of our
own Department familiar with them, / will say
that the question has been ably discussed both at
conventions and at board meetings, and always
with the same result-in favor of admitting all
loyal ladies TO the Order. Facts compel us to adj
NIT that TO loyal ladies the Department of Massa-
chusetts owes much of its success. Major General
Hiram q. Berry, Relief Corps, No. 6, of Maiden,
Mass, returned the of 81 lbs from their table
atthe late bazaar held in the interest of our Soldiers
Home, and $500 of the came was received from the
sale of the Military Album, compiled by Mrs. L. A.
Turner, Department conductor, who only COM
menced her labors then, and has since devoted
much of her time TO the comforts of the inmates
of the Home. And her sole claim to membership
| is that she is loyal women! God grant that we
may have many such to assist us In the great work
we have undertaken.
Many of our Corps can tell the same story of the
earnest and ready work of loyal women Much
has been said regarding this question We are told

a march, when three regiments from Robinson's
brigade, of the Second division of the First Army
Corps viz. Sixteenth Maine volunteers, (my own.(
Thirty-Ninth Massachusetts volunteers, and
Ninety-Fourth New York volunteers, were
marched, without music, by a semi-cirele route,
and took position on the right of our line in the
Fifth Army Corps, as storming party under Gen.
eral Sykes. The line was formed amidst roar of
artillery and bursting shells. but the men were
cool, and all orders were promptly obeyed. shall
never forget the fiery speech Of General Sykes as
he walked up and down the line and informed US
of the work that we had been detailed to perform,
its dangers, etc. Our knapsacks were piled in a
heap. and guard detailed to guard them, though
