Some Corrections Regarding corse's Fight at Ala

Some Corrections Regarding Corses Fight at Ala
toona.
To THE EDIToR Over the signature of J.
j. Whitney, M. D., Asst Surg, 18th Wis., in
The TRIBUNE of Aug. %, appears an article on
the detached fight at Allatoona which is filled
with grave and material errors. Evidently
the writer's memory has proven treacherous,
or he is stating a case of hearsay instead of
one of personal observation of that fight Some
Of his errors are material as affecting credit
due an organization he does not name, and
giving credit to one which was not on the
ground during the engagement j will limit
myself to few facts, corrections of Whitney's
errors
First. 1t was the 18th No. Battery, and not
the 9Th that participated at Allatoona, the
18th having four 10-pound Rodman rifles
Second. The Federal forces numbered 2. 100,
instead Of 900, as stated in Whitney's report
Third. The rebel force consisted Of Z, 500 men
and. u pieces of artillery, instead of 1000, as
stated.
Fourth. | am ana living witness of the fact
that the batterymen were not all killed or
wounded. and there are in Janesyille Wis, to-
day several other living witnesses to the fact
Fifth. One Of cur own battery boys carried
the shot and shell over the pine plank that
crossed the deep cut on the railroad, and not
Capt. Braner, as represented in Whtney's re-
port.
Sixth. When Gen John NJ Corse was sum-
In0ned to surrender without the needless efiu-
sion of blood, his simple reply was, " Tell Gen
French we're prepared for the effusionp no
profanity being used.
Seventh. If a file of the Chicago Tribune of
that date could be had, it would show an ode
to the Lone Gunner Of Allatoona" who was
none other than JAS Croft, of GAINESVILLE, Wis.
now living, and member of the battery at the
time, instead Of Capt. Braner
Eighth. Not one piece Of artillery was 81
fenced during the engagement, except by our
own discretion.
Ninth. Hold the fort, for we are coming" !"
not Hold on, hold the fort, never give up,D
was the signal from Sherman.
The foregoing are only few Of the many
mistakes of Whitney's, but much of the history
of the war is made up in the same way The
ae0nic signal dispatch of Corse after the enemy
had been driven away is model of breyity

army, and we are able to whip all he'll yet

A Grave Legal Problem.

A curious case is before the Tribunal in Paris
gentleman was getting down from an omni-
bus in a crowded thoroughfaTc, when he missed
his footing, nearly fell baekwar and, to re-
cover his balance, caught hold of anothe. pas
senger. The latter. taken by surprise, also
found himself in danger of falling, and, in
turn, caught hold of woman with an infant
IN her hands, the upshot being that all four
rolled together into the road. A heavy goods
van was coming along behind, which, had it
not been for the prompt action OF the omnibus
conductor, who seized the horses head. would
have run over some of the prostrate forms. As
it was, the gentleman who was the original
cause of the accident escaped with q few trihing
bruises; the other male passenger falling on
him was not hurt at all, and the infant was
equally Fortunate; but its mother had her arm
broken, and sustained other severe injuries.
Which of the two gentlemen should pay dam
ages is the question-the one who caught hold
of her or the one who caused him to do so by
catching hold OF him.

covered in behind the scat, so as to form a sort
Of locker, and invites friend of his own kidney
10 accompany him. Having marked down his
quarry, he drives slowly past the house, turns
back again, and repasses. His hope is that
the dog will run out into the road and bark.
II nobody happens to be watching the cart is
driven slowly off, and the dog follows it till
some secluded spot is reached, when the con-
federate gets out and secures him; or else, if
he is known TO be savage a moose is dropt over
his head from behind, and he is hauled into
the cart. The secret Of the dog following the
strange cart it is added, is that either the tires
of the wheels are plentifully anointed with
anise-seed oil, or a bag saturated with that ex-
tract is let down by a cord to trail ON the
ground.
