.. Carleton :. and His Critics.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Any one who attempts to write history of
any battle fought during the rebellion must
expect criticism. Several letters have appeared
in THE TRIBUNE taking exception to state
ments in the articles entitled Saving the Ma
tion,' written for the boys and girls
An ex-soldier of the Sth Massachusetts, regi-
ment is agrieved because that regiment has
not received the praise which he thinks is its
due.
An ex-soldier from Missouri complains that
the loyal Americans of. that State have not
been accorded the honor which belongs to
them.
Private letters reach me complaining that
regiments and batteries have not had proper
recognition. There lies before me a letter from
a member of Loomis' battery, who says
a. Cartoons story of Rich Mountain is SO
very much off [ cannot help the impulse to
amend il, in order that our boys and girls may
not come in collision with their fathers. Garlic
ton says that on the morning of June IL
General RoseeTans starts, etc, when the fact
is that the battle was fought on the 18th of
July"
Is this would-be critic SO obtuse that he
cannot see it is a clerical error? He goes on
8 The battery which accompanied the skir-
mish-line to Roaring Run was LOOMS 1st
Michigan, and instead Of the rebels deserving
taDo guns at Harris farm they left four, and
they were turned over to our battery and we
drewpthem to Cheat Mountain"
Now, if LOOMS battery captured four in
stead of two guns, am glad to know it, for
when | turn to the report Of General Mcclellan,
(Vol. II. Official Records, page COG 1 read as fol-
lows About p. m he Gen. RosecransJ reach
ed the summit, when he encountered portion
of the enemy's force with two guns in posi-
tion," etc.
On page 219, IN General Rosecrans report, /
read I'VE captured twenty-one prisoners
tgo brass 6-pounders," etc.
] leave this critic to settle the matter with
General Mcclellan and General Rosecrans, both
of whom are living.
dare say that there will be other criticisms.
And now LET me say that Saving the Nation =
is only an attempt to place before the boys
and girls the causes which brought about the
war; the forces, moral and material, which
carried it ON for four years. 1t is an attempt
to show what campaigns were planned, the
general features of the movements, and the
battles, with just enough detail to make the
narration picturesque.
Allow me to say TO all critics that there are
great many controverted points in the his
tory of the war, and / have no doubt the mem
Der of Loomis' battery is confident that they
took four guns at Rich Mountain, but, unfor-
tunately for him, General Mcclellan and Gen.
eral Roseerans say there were only two.
