Early next morning Stuart left, after having

and old matter that had been previously cap

The 55th ohio At ChancsIlorsrilIe.

To THE EDITOR In The TRTBUSE of Aug.
% ! noticed an article by n. D. Brown, of the
18th Wis, as to who held Bald Hill, in which
he says: Had any portion of our troops shown
the white feather on that day Gen. Howard
could not have said, Fifteen minutes such fight
ing would have saved his corps at Chanceliors-
yille.'" Now, comrade, if you had 15 minutes
of Charlottesville your chances of being alive

d, to which / belonged, had 30 OF its own mem
bers two men from Co. + being assigned TO it

and the regiment 154, and all in less than one
minute / fired the load in my gun, loaded,
and fired again, and before getting the next
cap ON was ordered to fall back. The 18th
Conn, 25th and 18th Ohio lost about the same.
AS TO the breastworks Gen. Howard speaks of
we had none-just a.rail fence on the roadside,
and the rebels raking the road with canister.
/ wish some one who could do justice to ii
would write up an account of that battle. The
officers in that battle, to save themselves from
blame, cast the blame on the men who had to
fight for life to get out of the trap these same
officers had got them into. ! propose to make
il hot for one James Beaie, of the 18th Mass
one Of these days, who has made q number oj
cowardly attacks upon the Eleventh Corps. In
conclusion, will say to Gen. Howard the
Eleventh Corps where we were, had no breast
works when attacked, and make this claim
that Co. d and the 55th Ohio lost more men, in
proportion to the number engaged, in killed
and wounded in the shortest time of any dur.

F. A. Seymour, Capt, Co. G, 7th Ohio, West
Hartford, Conn, corrects several comrades in
regard to Albert Stedman. who enlisted in Co.
G, 7th Ohio. at Cleveland, and was reported
killed at the battle of Port Republic. As the
regiment was compelled to retreat, the wounded
were captured and the dead reported to have
been buried. Stedman was reported to the
War Office as left dead on the field.
w. FL. Poor, Co. F, 7th Ohio, Chase, Mich,
says there were two brigades of Gen. Shields IS
engaged at Port Republic-one commanded by
Col Carroll, which had in it the 4th and 9th
Ohio, and the other commanded by Gen. Tyler,
and composed of the 5th 7th, 29th and Goth
Ohio. Comrade Poor's company was Gen.
Tyler's headquarters guard. He thinks that
Stedman was member of the 7th or 29th Ohio.

PORT REPUBLIC.
Variety of Matters Connected With the Battle
The Goth Ohio's Part.

To THE EDITOR: In your issue of Sept. Ii,
under the caption of WHO He Was" much
injustice is done one of Ohio's favored regi-
ments. The 29th Ohio, Col. S. 7. Buckley
commanding, held the center of Tyler's Brigade
the 7th Ohio on our left and the 7th Ind. on
our right, and all the troops did splendidly.
Opposite our command was the 7th La. Tigers,
who by partial cover of rail fence held our
regiment back, SO that our regiment began to
sag in the center, when our Colonel ordered
the 29th to charge. We did so. Their flag
was captured by one Allen Mason, of Co. G.
Co. captured % prisoners, and their regiment
was almost annihilated One OF the 7th t'Ti-
gers who was captured at Antietam, learning
that our regiment was at Monocacy, when
brought with other prisoners to be shipped TO
the rear, asked if our Colonel was killed at
Port Republic. He was told, "No. Whv?" He
replied that he fired seven times at him and
the last shot he either fell or jumped from his
horse-which he never knew; said he would
like to see him. The Colonel being told of
the fact made his appearance, when the Ii
ger said: Colonel, l want to take your
hand. You fought our regiment at Port
Republic and killed and captured our en-
tire regiment-all but so men-including
our colors, but | want to compliment you on
your bravery and the bravery of your men,"
The Colonel replied: Sir, / commend your
bravery, but condemn your cause" No one OF
the 18th Will ever forget the remarks OF our
Colonel ON the morning of the 9Th of June,
| 1862. Addressing the regiment while in line, he
said Boys, we fight against great odds; aim
low, men. and at every shot let traitor fall. y
The above will convince all who read this
how well his order was carried out. Our losses,
as taken from our history now before me, were
| IL killed, SO wounded, and 105 missing. Our
regiment made two successful charges, and
were the last to leave the field, only escaping
| by taking to the hills. / drew the rations for
! the regiment that night, ana only 13 officers
and men could be collected but in the course
of the next day our Colonel came in with about
| so men and other detachments to the number
of about 200 i think that all will agree with
me that it was an extremely hard-fought bat
/ tie. l had six ball holes through my clothes
with three places of black and blue spots on
my person; one will ever be reminder of that
! days conflict. 1 think history gives the num-
/ Der of Union soldiers at some $500, while
/ Stonewall Jackson's official report gives his
number $4,000. Still, We held the ground from
6 in the morning until IL o'clock, when we
were forced to give way. Our prisoners said
the next morning, as they were marshaled foI
march, Jackson turned to the guards and said
"Giye these men the best of attention. Let
| them suffer no abuse, for they are our equals"

When forth we marched with buoyant tread,
And cheers and banners gay,
Until we came silent band
