To THE EDITOR: Your article headed Col.
strong's Wound TRIBUNE juno 1877 had q
peculiar interest for the writer hereof Gen.
Strong was leading the 38th N. Y. at the battle
OF Williamsburg, and while IN the front "a few
PAGES from Gen. Kearny) was struck by a
bullet In the hip. Three men of Co i l3Sth}
ran to his side-serg'ts Morgan, Brown and
Garrigan. His only request was to lay him
behind a stump or log where he would not be
troa npon, and, after this had been done. he
directed them TO return to the front. There
fore, it was not through neglect that he was left
so long suffering on the field but rather the act
of seit-sacriiice on the part of brave leader,
whose gallantry was unusually conspicuous on
more than one occasion, when the example of
single officer made heroes of a regiment.-T.

To THE EDITOR: In reading Capt Selden

lind he makes a very grave and erroneous
charge against one Of the bravest and best gem

battle spoken of was in command of the Second
Corps, and was still at Yorktown instead of
being within half q mile of Rockers brigade
and his entire corps stood in line awaiting
orders to advance TO assist Heintzelman from

So far as the nav was concerned in that dis
