by comrades who participated in the battle Of
Fort BOBesOn. The 50th regiment Illinois IN
1antry marched over from Fort Henry. with
other troops Of Gen. c. T. Smiths division. on
Thursday, February 13, and were under fire
early IN the afternoon. We assisted in driving
the enemy within the outer works. and took
position on ridge on the left Of the line of

the 18th Indiana on this occasion; they were
on our immediate left, and SO eager were they
for the fray that they proceeded 10 advance

tail. And this being their first experience, as
COmrade w. H. Hawkins soys, they all rose
like a flock Of biackbirds and what did not
fall by rebel bullets fell back TO the line: dur
ing which time ] ordered mp my company,
which was on the left of our regiment, to re-
turn the rebel fire, and il was only under the
cover Of my company's FIRE that the 25th fell

The First Prisoners at Camp Ford.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
see that some person inquiries through your
paper as to who were the first prisoners that
were sent to Camp Ford, Texas, and S. H.
Wright gives what he thinks a correct reply;
but he is wrong. About fifty-five officers of us
and few enlisted men went to Camp Ford in
July, 1868. Seven of US were captured on the
gunboat Diana, March %, 1868. A lieutenant
of the 10th Illinois cavalry Joined US, and about
July list some forty officers captured at or near
Brashear City, La, joined us at Shreveport,
La, and during July we started for what was
afterwards known as Camp Ford. Col. Leake,
with some 425 officers and men from the 10th
Iowa, Goth Indiana aud 1st Missouri artillery,
were captured September %, 1863, and were
the next to join us. During the winter of
1868 '64, the officers of the AID Massachusetts,,
captured at Galveston, Texas, January /, 1863,
and the officers apd men captured at Sabine
Pass came to our camp from Camp Grose, Texas.
In April or May, 1864, something over 5000
prisoners came to tho camp from Gems. Banks
and Steele's commands. The first exchange made
from this prison was in July, 1864, when $50

our rags. | have list of all the officers taken

limbs were being cut from the trees by the fly
ing shells Arriving at our destination, we
faced to the enemy, and, although we were
painting from our exertions, no time was allowed
US to recover our breath, but we were ordered
forward, and moved up the hill before us at
brisk gait The Hill was heavily wooded, and
we saw nothing of the enemy until we were
near the crest, when we received the fire of
Longstreet's confident veterans. Still the line
did not falter, but swept on to the crest, fore
ing the enemy to retire before us. Nor did we
stop when the top of the hill was reached, but
pursued the retreating enemy down the slope.
1t was at this time that General Steedman ran
along our front, ordering us, in a voice that
could be heard above the din of battle, to halt.
The left of our line had got so far in advance
of that of Thomas, that there was a gap be-
tween them, and this General Steednan saw,

posed himself to both our own and the enemy's

regardless of his own safety, and thinking
only of his men and his duty Such was the
ardor of our men, however, that it was hard TO
bring them TO a halt, and, although the officers
repeated the command, we still moved for
ward At last, however, we came to halt and
fell back to the top of the hill, which we held
till night set in, and then fell back toward
Chattanooga During the hardest fighting, the
22d Alabama regiment was in the immediate
front of my regiment, its banner flying in the
breeze. When its color boarer was shot, sec
ond picked it up, and when he too, bit the
dust, third took it from the ground only to
meet the fate of his comrades. By this time
we were SO near that no one attempted to re-
cover it, and when we came up, Solomon Fish,
of my company (C), stopped and took hold of
it, but its bearer refused to surrender it, though
mortally wounded, and il was taken from him

The National tribune., 1884-05-01

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
On behalf of the Kansas Association of
Ex-Prisoners OF War; we thank you for your
very able defense of the claim of Union ex-
prisoners of war for pension, as published in
your paper of April 10, not only because it is
timely, but because you have given in plain
language what we believe to be true and I'M
answerable reasons why they are entitled to
pensions at the hands of the Government, viz,
because our own Government was responsible
for the non-exchange of prisoners, and the
consequent horrors Of the Southern prison
pens.
If any one at this late day doubts the fact
that our own authorities deliberately stopped
the exchange of prisoners, would refer him,
in addition to the evidence given in your arti-
Gle, to the evidence Of General Grant before
the committee of Congress on the treatment of
prisoners OF war, February IL, 1865 as follows,
viz:
Exchanges having been suspended by reason of
disagreement on the part of agents of exchange on
both sides before i came in command of the ar
mics of the United States, and it then being near
the opening of the spring campaign / did not
deem 1t advisable or just TO the men who had to
fight our battles to re-enfofce the enemy with
thirty or forty thousand disciplined troops at that
time. An immediate resum ption of exchanges
would have had THAT effect without giving us cor
responding benefits. The suffering said to exist
among our prisoners South was powerful argll-
ment against the course pursued, and so felt it.
We have a letter from General Butler to the
same effect. We have also the testimony of
General Hitchcock and others, so that, al
though we have been unable to get all the Off
cial records, we have sufficient evidence to
prove beyond all doubt that our own authori-
ties not only stopped exchanges, but that they
had full and complete knowledge of the suffer-
ing starvation, and death to which our pris-
oners were then exposed.
While We admit that our Government or
those in authority at that time were response
BILE for the non exchange of prisoners, it was
no excuse, and cannot now be accepted as an
| apology for the barbarous and inhuman treat
ment of our prisoners by the rebels, which was
a more gross violation of the usage of civilized
warfare than of our Government refusing ex-
changes.
But they tell US that we are asking for sery-
ice pension. Call it service pension if you
wish; the prisoners service was compulsory
they were held prisoners of war by the act of
their own Government, which was q violation
of good faith and the usage of civilized war;
| fare. Prisoners did not then nor have they
since complained of the severe and extraordi-
| nary war measures adopted by those in author
| ity, of which they were the victims, but they
do ask remuneration. They have a right to
ask the Government to adopt such course as

l beg leave TO correct my old eomrade IN arms.
I shall always remember the 9th day of June,
1862. We had broken camp day or two be-
fore and had been marching up and down IN
anticipation of an attack. About 10 o'clock we
were halted, and an officer called for some
volunteers to 90 across a large open field in
front of Gaines horse barn. Twas one of those
who responded We had instructions to fire
upon the approach of the enemy, and after
standing some time / heard commands being
given, and on looking over towards Gaines
peach orchard / beheld q most beautiful spec
tacle. 1t seemed to me as if the whole rebel
army were there, the sun shining upon their
FURNISHED muskets. Soon | heard a rumbing
of wheels, and looking TO the left of the barn
saw a battery approach and unhmber near the
barn, and it was then that eomrade and
fired at a gunner, and / am sure that we saw
them carry him off in an ambulance. was
soon called back to where the company had
taken position behind some stumps and were
making it lively for those fellows over in the
peach orchard, and it was here that / saw the
cavalry. At our right was piece of woods,
and q squadron of cavalry charged upon as
from the woods. We rose to our knees and
fred at them, which had the effect of sending
them back in great haste. l remember thai

galloped up to near where stood.

Doesn't Want 1t Rubbed In.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE;
am sorry TO mar a good story which have
read with interest, bat the writer of Saving
the Nation" in the issue April g. 1884, says:
The Confederates see their opportunity, and
send General jackson, with 10000 men, to
capture or drive Fremont and Banks out of
the Shenandoah Valley, which he did very
quickly, driving Fremont west towards
Kanawha and compelling General Banks to
retreat down the Shenandoah into Maryland
So much of this as refers to General Fremont
is incorrect. He was not driven out at all,
but drove jackson out of the valley, and but
for the treachery, or stupidity, of some re-
sponsible party who would not let the bridge
be burned at Port Republic, his (Jackson's)
retreat would have been cut off and Fremont
would have captured his army then and there.
Fremont and his men got their work in all
right. General Shields gallant men got to
their post in the rear of jackson, but they
were not allowed to burn the bridge; that was
left for Jackson to do, after almost annihilating
that small force of brave men who vainly strove
to execute a suicidal order. If / mistake not,
jackson marched direct to the rear of Nc
Clellan's right and turned the day against us
there. A few of US have been vexed over this
matter ever since, and we don't want it rubbed
in now by saying that Fremont was driven of
to the Kanawha. THos STEPHENSON,
