To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
So far as know, the expedition against Mo-
bile has never been written up in your paper.
That was certainly a large undertaking At
the time the command set out March I7th)
from Fort Morgan or Mobile Point there were
the 18th corps under General Gordon Granger;
10th corps. under General A. J. Smith, and an
independent column under General Fred
Steele; assisted by Portcr's powerful feet. at
the time under command Of Rear Admiral
Thatcher.
The total strength Of the cooperating forces
was as follows: l5ta corps, 1920 men; 10th
corps, 10000 men; cavalry, 1900; column un-
der Steele, 5000; total 400
We marched from Fort Morgan to Spanish
Fort, sixty-five miles, and built miles Of corlu-
roy roads and pulled train of 200 wagons
through mud mp 10 the axle On the march
we had many difficulties to overcome; the
enemy harrassing us il some force the entire
way. We had heavy rains, aud the worst
roads, perhaps. that troops ever saw. Tho forti-
acations on the east side of the bay were Span
ish Fort and Fort Biakcly. The two forts
were several miles apart, and between We're
ordinary earthworks and rcdou5s, so that
when General CANDY sat down before Mobile,
nc faced works well-nigh impregnabIe against
any force, had they becn furnished with sufsi-
Gent garrison.
On march 9th. the 18th and 18th corps
marched into position in investment OF Span
ism Fort. Smith, with the 10th corps, on the
right; Granger. with tic 18th corps, on the
left; our lines overcoming great difficulties
torpciocs. distractions by wire. trees ditches.
&c. Tho fire Of the fort was always kept up,
bnt our troops advanced steadily by day and
night. 1t was Like the siege OF vicksbuTg, only

our lines were more vigorously pushed on the
enemys works. Similar, during this time,
were the operations under Steele at Fort
Blakely, though his investment did not COM
mence soon as that.of Spanish Fort. On the
evening of the 6th of April, the Sth Iowa in
fantry, under command of Lieutenant-C Colonel
Bell, after desperate encounter, effected an
entrance in the works at the point of the bay
onet. The charge was general along the line,
and they were speedily re-enforced by other
troops. Many prisoners were taken, and during
the night The fort was evacuated by the rebels
On the 9th, Steeles command, with the 18th
and 18th corps, made an assault on Biakely, all
along the line, and, although everywhere re-
sisted with great courage, were everywhere
finally successful.
General Steele, having accomplished his
work, sent the following dispatch to General
Candy: 1--WE have stormed the entire line of
works and our troops are now in full posses
SION"
To which General Candy replied: God bless
you, and God bless your brave command"
Forts Huger and Tracy were speedily re-
duced. On the 18th, General Candy entered
Mobile, and the " Flag Of our Union" already
floating over every fort and battery that looked
upon the bay, was exnltingly raised over the
last important Confederate seaport. In the
capture OF Mobile and the surrounding works,
General Candy took 1884 prisoners and great
quantities of war material

The so7th Pennsylvania at petersbure,

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
The communication in THE TRIBUNE from
Comrade ID. w. Young, 139th Pennsylvania
volunteers, in relation to the three soldiers
who were especially honorcd for bravery at the
assault of Petersburg Va, April 9, 1866, forci-
bly, recalls to me the events of that memorable
morning. AT the time / was member of COM
pany q, 207th Pennsylvania volunteers, I'D
brigade, 3D. division, 9th CORPSE which paftici-
patcd in the assault.
A little after o'clock our regiment was
formed just in front of Fort Sedgwick, or
Fort Hell" as it was usually called. Opposite
was the rebel Fort Malone, generally called
:" Fort Damnation, and at last, upon the firing
OF rocket, which was to be the signal Gen.
Hartranft gave TIE order to Co. well re.
member thai Lieutenant blanchard, of our
company, acted as major that morning, and
was very particular to see that the men kent rs
quiet rs possible, and tied their tin cups and
canteens SO that they would not rattle, az also
that they did not cheer till they gained their
works. He was wounded before we reached
tho fort, and our captain-Captain Root-was
wounded as we. gained it. Our loss in the regi-
mcnt was forty killed and 40 wounded. Our
color-bcarcr fell pierced by seven balls. and
three OF the color-guard fell by his side Ii
our flag was not in the works it was because
the bearer was killed. Docs Comrade Young
remember when the red jackets charged? They
were Grants headquarter guards from City
Point, and they came into action about o'clock
in the afternoon, and did good service till dusk.
Our last flag-bearcr was Daniel Campaeld, l
think, of company T.; he was brave boy. The
Johnnics tried hard to capture our colors at
petersburg that day, at the time Lieutenant
livery was taken prisoner, but Campileld
brought the flag back all right.

Lass OF OPPORTUNITY.

tt is a matter OF surprise that but one
boy, SO far as announced, was to appear
at Winnemucca yesterday from West
ern Nevada, to compete for the West
Point cadetship. The one referred to Is
from Reno, and neither Of the compare
lively populous counties Of Storey,
Ormsby. nor of Esmeralda or Lyon, is
to be represented in the competition.
When all things are considered the edu-
cation at West Point or Annapolis, the
curriculum in each academy being SUBJ
stantially the same, is probably the most
thorough and desirable that can be had
in the United States. And the four
years excellent physical and mental
training costs nothing. No parent that
appreciates the opportunity would have
failed to send his boy to wrestle for the
prize.
The Enterprise Of a day or SO ago says:
Mr.. Cassidy, waving his privilege to
select the candidate, will nominate the
boy reported by a Board of Examiners
to have passed the best examination.
Thus far, the competitors seem to hail
almost exclusively from the eastern part
of the State. There is nothing in the
ungracious i~nsinuations against MIR.
Cassidy that, in fixing upon Winnie
mucca as the place for the examination,
he is favoring the chances of the boys OF
any particular section. That town Is
central enough for all. We believe u
Congressman desires the best boy to win,
and wishes to see Nevada creditably repre-
scented in our National Military Acad-
envy. The test at Winnemucca will not
be a severe one, as the examination will
proceed only upon the simplest rudi-
ments of a common-school education.
We therefore regret to see that among
our large contingent of ambitious boys
not one Of them is an applicant. Storey
county should certainly be represented
in the preliminary skirmish for this most
desirable prize.
