MARYE'S HIGHTS.
The Part the 43d n. Y. Took In the Fight.

To THE EDITOR: / have read with deep in
terest the several articles published in your
valuable paper relating to the charge made on
Marye's Hights May 3, 1868. While have no
desire to say aught that can in the remotest de-
gree reflect upon the yalor of any of the troops
| engaged therein, yet cannot but think that
the writer of the article in your issue Of Oct.
2, entitled "Marye's Hights," casts an asper-
sion upon regiment whose record for its
lighting qualities" will, to say the least, COM
| pare favorably with any regiment that was in
| the service.
| Comrade David Ginther, of the 61st Pa says ::
The 43d n. Y. was in the rear of the 6lst, and
| it broke and scattered before the right wing of
the 6lst gave back one foot. In SO far as relates
to the position OF the two regiments Comrade
Ginther is correct, but his statement that the
Add broke and scattered before the right wing
of the 6lst gave back one foot" is an assertion
that is utter y untrue and cannot be substanti-
ated. The Add never was known to " turn tail I"
to the enemy. On this memorable Sd of May
1868, both regiments were advancing to the
point of attack in column of fOurs with the
6lst Pa. on the right. When the Add reached
the bridge the enemy opened a deadly fire upon
it, and at the same instant stampede occurred
in the 6lst, which | have no reason to doubt
was owing to the fact which COmrade Ginther
states, viz, the killing of Col. Spear and the
order to fall back 1t can readily be perceived
(bearing in mind the formation of the two
rcsiments) that the moment the 6lst began to
retreat the pressure brought to bear upon the
! ranks of the 43d was simply irresistible, and
the great body of the regiment went to the
rear with the 61st.
COmrade Ginther also says: "The 61st gained
the crest of the hill before the men of any
other regiment in its column" AS L remsmber
it, the facts were substantially as follows:
After the break occurred. Col. Baker, of the
43d, stood in the roadway opposite the building
on the left-hand side of the road going up to-
ward the nights, and near the bridge, and with
his hat twirling on the point of his sword raj
lied the men, who responded with alacrity. and
the 43d was the first to scale the nights on the
right; and the first gun captured was by Lieut.
Col. John Wilson, of the 43d.
| would be pleased to sec some arrangement
made whereby the survivors of the old Light
Division could celebrate in body the 22d
anniversary of the capture of Marye's Hights
on the nights, rs the survivors of the 61st pro-
pose. Who will start the ball roling2-WM

THE ILLINoIsAN's STORY.

To THE EDITOR: Your correspondent, C. D.
Norris, 33d Ill, has called attention to point
that ought TO be settled, and q word OF two
from another may help TO do il. But first let
me say that he does mistake the day, for both
my diary and good many other circumstances
show that the Magnolia Hill battle was on the
LIST Of May. But now, as 10 that charge of Ho-
vey's men and the captured battery have
thought il singular that history makes no men
sion of the charge by Carr's Division, certainly
Of his First Brigade, which broke the rebel
dont. That Ho"ey's men were along | will
not dispute, but am sure Carr's were not only

charge The fact that one of the men of nv
regiment l99th H. is mentioned in one his
tory as getting 10 and upon one Of those guns
tnrning it upon the enemy, tells the whole
story. Capt. Dinsmore for it was he) did not
get away entirely from the remainder of his
regiment and brigade, SO far az to be lost in
another organization, and he did not claim
She gun as his" without right good reason
therefor. | think, however the solution of the
whole difficulty is this: That in the charge
the commands became somewhat mixed which
know 70 be the case, but the commands were
there; and that CarT's men should not be no.

MAD OVER 1t VET

To THE EDITOR: / wrote you some time ago
in regard to Howard's omission in his account Of
the battle OF fChancellorsville. The omission was
that Gen. Howard left out entirely one of the
best brigades in the Eleventh Corps (McLean's).
Comes now d. NJ. Conner, and says that Col
Lee held an advanced position on the right.
The facts are, our diyision-Von Gilsa's and
McLean's Brigades-were in line, and Won
Gilsa's Brigade on the right and our brigade
next. Lees regiment, the 55th Ohio were next
to Won Gilsas Brigade. Next, 107th Ohio, then
the 18th Conn, with the 18th and 18th Ohio in
reserve. 1t is fact, as Serg't Conner says, that
Gen. Devens paid very little heed to our Colo
nePs reports; the consequence was We were
lifted out of our boots with the loss of Lieut.
Col. Riley, Of the 18th Ohio, and Capt. Myers,
son of Col. Myers, of the 107th Ohio, either one
of them worth a half dozen Attorney Generals
You see, am mad over that yet, and perhaps
all the survivors Of our division are probably in
the same fix, except, perhaps, the late Attor-
ney General. II. OSBORN, Co. G, 55th Ohio

Sunday evening. After all the troops but part

last man killed by rebel Milton Whiteman,

was going on, they made an effort to get to the

WOOD RIVER MINES.

Notwithstanding the fact that very
lite capital has been brought into
this country for the development OF
its mines, the growth and develop
,nent of the country has been constant
and rapid. In no other ledge mining
section, except Leadvi!le, has the
mine-owner been able to realize
money from working his property
without investment in reduction ma
chincry, to the extent that has been
done on Wood River. There is no
property that has been developed
which has not paid for itself, and in
many instances, over and over again.
The Englishmen, who recently be-
came the owners of the famous Minnie
Moore, are delighted with their pur-
chase--and well may they be, as the
developments since the sale have
made that property worth twice what
they paid for it. Mr.. Palmer, one of

A MUCH NEEDED CHANGE.

A bill providing for fourth Judge
in the Territories has passed the SEN
ate, and now that the House Of Rep
resentatives has quit fooling with the
tariff question, it is to be hoped they
will attack some serious business, and
that the Senate bill will become a
law. This is change in the judi
cary of the Territories which has
long been prayed for, and much
needed. Besides the advantage of
of an Appellate Court, untrammeled
with Judge whose opinion is already
fixed by reason of his trial and de-
cision of cases as Judge of the dis
trict, where he presides, the labors Of
the Judges will be more evenly dis
trlbuted, and they will have more
time to devote to the more important
part of their duties. The four most
important county seats will have res
ident Judges, and litigants be saved
much of the annoyance and cost Of
defending and enforcing their rights.
That this change will increase the
utility Of the Supreme Court of the
Territories there can be no doubt.
However just Judges may he, they are
constantly committing errors which
are corrected on appeal. Judges
cannot throw off a settled conclusion
as they would garment, with any
more facility than other men; and
not intending to say that a Judge
who has tried and decided case in
the trial court would, of a necessity
be a partisan for his own opinions
when the same case reaches him in
his capacity as Judge of Appeals
it is certain that he is not as compe.
tent to review his own acts as another
Under this bill the Judge who tries
the cause appealed in the le wer court
will take no part in its consideration
in the Supreme Court. The pre-
posed change is watched with grea
interest throughout all the Territories
and If made will be received will
general satisfaction and approval.
