To THE EDITOR: In THE TRIBUNE of Oct.
% Comrade Fitzpatrick, of Lancaster, Mo-, is
correct in reference to the capture of the rebel
Gen. Marmaduke. was Ward Master at the
Post Hospital, Fort Leavenworth, Kan, during
1864. Comrade James Dunlavy, of Co. d, Sd
Iowa Cav, came to my hospital and occupied
the same room with me just after Prices raid
through Kansas. He had with him the pair of
silver mounted revOlyers which COmrade Kill
patrick speaks of. He told me all the particu-
lars of the capture of Marmaduke, which are
as the comrade gives them. Comrade Dulavy
was only 20 years old at that time. 1t was
quite an adventure to capture rebel General,
while wounded and alone and with an empty
musket. o, how my memory runs back over
the 90 years since all these things occurred.
And how love to read THE TRIBUNE and all
its war stories. If Comrade Dulavy reads this
item would be pleased to have him write to
me. Tell me, comrade, if you remember be-
ing at Fort Leavenworth Hospital in Dec
1864 and staying with me in the upper room

The Brave 10th Illinois.

To THE EDITOR: would like to say word
to the comrades of the old 10th Ill. We were
brave men and it did not require the whole
army to support us in our deeds of daring. A
single company, and even smaller squads could
storm hen-roost and put all to death that
could not get away. Co. was always on the
front line when sow-bosOm was scarce. When
we lay at Nashville, Tenn, surrounded by the
mighty hosts of Bragg, four men from Co. !
undertook the dangerous task of feeling the
enemy one dark night. They secured the
country we'll inside the picket-lines. deter

nothing but blood would appease their wrath.
1t was not long until the enemy was found
Aear railroad cut. We were drawn up in
line. The enemy took position in the cut.
Our fankers were thrown out and we made
one grand forward movement, with patriotism
in our hearts and but little in our stomachs.
We were determined to conquer rather than
starve! The engagement became terrific in
the cut and out of it. Blood ran like rain, yet
we paused not to weep for the fallen. We re-
turned to camp each ladened with his share
and the scent of battle upon our garments.
We presented the Captain with a nice piece of
beefsteak. Then we received the congratula-
ton of our grateful commander, with the re-
mark, Is there any more where you got

The regiment was recruited in June and July,
1861 (the most of the enlistments are dated
July 49, 1861. 1t was mustered into service
Feb. 2, 1862, but had been in active service
from July, and was engaged in the battles of
Athens, Monticello. Lancaster, and Clapp's
Ford, Mo-, before it was mustered in. 1t was
the regiment that opened the battle of Shiloh,
and Gen. Prentiss acknowledged this in his
speech at the Iowa Reunion last Summer. 1t
was at the siege and battle Of Corinth, Tupelo,
Nashville, on the Red River expedition, on the
Missouri campaign of 1864, at the battle of
Nashville, a: the siege and capture of Spanish
Fort and Fort Blakely on the 9th of April,

PrairIa GraYe.

To THE EDITOR: Allow me to correct Thos.
ii. Moore, Co. b. 10Th Iowa, in regard to the
officer who commanded the rebels at Prairie
Grove. 1t was Gen. Thos. c. Hindman, not F..
m. with his artillery, and kept it up until the
close of the battle. Herron's cavalry had all
gone on to reinforce Blunt at Cane Hill, nine
miles west of Prairie Grove, on the evening be-
fore the battle as it was thought by both Blunt
and Heron that the fight would be there; but
the Confederates were posted and chose to pitch
into Heron and clean him out, which they
came near doing, owing to the fact that they
outnumbered him five to one. As soon as Gen.
Blunt found that Heron was engaged, he
fastened with all possiblespeed to his assistance,
and came just in the nick of time; for although
Herron's gallant little army had manfully stood
their ground against such fearful odds, their
ranks were being thnned out and they could
not possibly have stood it much longer.-J. III.

To THE EDITOR: Press of business has pre-
vented al earlier answer to the rather sharp
criticism by James Beale of my article on
Charlottesville of Sept. II. know nothing of
the correspondence between Gems. Hooker and
Howard before the battle, or that of Howard and
Devens afterwards Iwrote simply of what
saw and heard, and drew my conclusions from
such evidence and from my personal knowledge
of Gen. Towards watchfnlness in front Of the
enemy. / submit that all this was sufficient to
satisfy any reasonable mind of Gen. Devens's
culpable negligence until positive evidence to
the contrary was produced. have no desire
to vindicate my old commander at the expense
of any other officer or soldier, and if there is
evidence in favor of Gen. Devens it should be
produced. If Comrado Rumples understand
ing relative to Hookers dispatch of $50 a. m,
May 2, be correct Col. Mysenburg was largely
to blame. My recollection is that it was as
late as 10 a. m. when Hooker rode along How
ards lines, though the latter says it was 'early
in the morning" AS to Towards letter to
Devens, mentioned by Mr.. Beale, Howard must
have been mistaken in the time when he saw
Devens rallying his men, for it was before the
line had been hurled back over the rifle pits
east of Dowdall's that Devens passed me, going
to the rear. and demanded my horse, and was
certainly not more than half an hour after
Howard arrived ut the front. Mclean and
Won elisa both wounded), Schurz, Lee and
others strOve CALAMITY to stem the tide, and
were among the last to leave the field / have
to thank Comrades Osborn, Rumple and "Pow-
der Monkey" for the light they are helping to
shed upon the dark question, WHO is respon-
sible for the surprise at Chancellorsville? and
hope that Mclean, Won elisa, Lee Mysenburg
and others will tell what they know about it.

The Charge at Yicksburg.

To THE EDITOR: In your issue of Oct 90,
In the graphic description of the charge at
Vicksburg, May g. 1863, by COmrade G. ID.
Morris, he says: "McClernand, away in the
rear, called loudly on Grant for help. We knew
it was madness to send men there Grant, as
near to us as McClernand, thought as much. The
rebel rife-pits to our left could fire upon u.s. and
every now and then some poor fellow would 20
down. The terrors Of that day made men grow
old. The appeal for help was answered.
Boomers Brigade attempted to reach us, but they
could get no nearer than 200 yards. Boomer
himself was killed. We then knew to stay
longer was useless, and So one by one, we stole
away, running the gauntlet for life and liberty"
Now, as i am living member of the said
Boomers Brigade, l wish to correct some of
Comrade MOrris's statements. Our brigade was
withdrawn from the portion of lines we were
operating against and sent to the left, as we
understood, to support McClernand After
winding round hills for perhaps mile, our
regiment advanced up ravine in close prox-
unity to the rebel works. l think we gained
our position about o'clock p. m, and there we
remained under whitening crOss-fire of mus
kerry, grape and canister poured into us from
three large rebel forts in close range. Indeed,
we were not to exceed 40 PAGES from one of the
rebel forts. The gallant Col. Boomer of the 26th
Mo-, was killed in less than 200 yards of the
works, and how any man escaped from that
slaughter-pen that we got into that afternoon,
has always been mystery to me. Well may
COmrade Morris say the terrOrs of that day
made men grow old."-W. A. BARTHOLOMEW,

Suggestions % to Cerresp0ndents-The Surrender
OF Vicksburg.
To THE EDITOR: Through your valuable pa
per / was enabled to add another address of q
comrade to my list; and l would suggest right
here in order to aid us in getting addresses of
comrades that you request all correspondents
to give their company, regiment, and present
address, and that you, in printing their arti-
cles, head the article: From member of the
- reg't, V. l., or Cav, or Art.;" or. simply,
" From the - regt, State v. L." or whatever
branch of the service they served in. 1t would
be but little trouble and save great deal of
trouble. In the article OF the offer to surren-
der Vicksburg, l found Comrade j. II. Craven,
a member of my regiment and company, and
was truly glad to learn his preseat residence.
He has written q number of interesting arti-
cles, but never gave his place of residence.
would refresh his memory as to the name of
the Sergeant who conducted the distinguished
Confederate officers to headquarters. 1t was
Sergt Geo. Lohr, not Lowry, and Private Geo.
Werlich, and others, who led them blind
folded. And that brings to my mind an incl
dent related by Private Werlich concerning
one of these rebel officers Gen. Bowen, l
think, who, while being led blindfolded over
one of our trenches, slipped and fell, laugh
ingly remarked while getting up: II never
expected to cross Yankee breastwOrks without
something happening, and feel truly thank
full that it is no worse would ask Comrade
Craven if he remembers the building of the
bridge over old Cone River on the Red River
expedition, and to write an account of it for
your readers in THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.

On the morning of the oath, at daybreak,

and the bombardment ceased. Gen. Granger
at once ran down with his boat and received
the surrender from Gen. Page, who was in COM
mand of the works. Two o'clock p m. being
the hour specified at which our forces could
take possession, the rebel garrison were accord
ingly transferred to transports at that hour
and sent off to New Orleans. -Four companies
from our regiment (B, E, F and X were de-
tailed to take command, and moved down to
the fort the same evening. The works were
found badly damaged by our batteries, por-

English vessels, not being aware OF events
which had recently transpired in the vicinity,

of remark that close fraternal feeling existed
between these two regiments, which was not,
however, due to coincidence of names, but

John A. Boyd, Co. G. 9th Ill., in an inter-

speaks of little shanty at the end of the
bridge that he and a number of his comrades
entered and knocked off some of the boards so
as to enable them to see which way the john
MES were going, and while there Brig Gen.
Fuller entered, and from the shoulders of two

view, watched the retreating rebels. Two

pocket of one, and scattered over and around
the other was deck of cards, which were

two in death, and that Gen. Fuller, while pass
ing them, stopped and made the remark: at
is good thing his alluding to the one with
the cards. folks don't see him now"

cles in your paper in regard to the capture OF
Gen. Marmaduke, l beg leave to submit the
following from the Missouri Democrat of Nov.
8, 1864:
RoLLA, Mo-, Nov. 8, 1864.
Editors of the Missouri Democrat:
On my return from the front was somewhat as
tonished 10 read dispatch in the st. Louis papers,
from Col. j. T. Phillips. i'll which he claims for his
brigade the entire credit of the grand charge on the
18th of last month"; and does not allude even to any
participation by any other command in the affair.
The fact is Col Phillips Brigade did not advance
on the enemy until the Fourth Brigade, command
(Cornyn's old regment) had efiectually and sue
eessfully charged the rebels and driven them from
their guns. Two stands of colors, the arms and
equipments of Gen. Marmaduke, and many other
silent witnesses of the valor of the brave boys of
Col Benteen's command. Gen. Marmaduke was
captured by Private James Dunleavy, of Co. A Sd
Iowa Cav, and Gen. Cabell by Serg't 9. NJ. Young,
of the same company and regiment.
Benteen's charge was made promptly, and, ac-
cording to Gen. Cabelrs words, just in the nick of
time; for one moment later he intended to charge
upon Philips's Brigade, and had just passed the
word for it when Col. Benteen suddenly appeared
upon the scene with his command and as suddenly
poured down upon their right, completely routing
it, capturing their artillery and rendering his action
Of no avail.

Brigade made no charge until ours had turned the
