Ricketts,, Battery at Fair oaks.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
| was a member of Ricketts, battery from
May, 1861. to December Is, 1869, and was pres
ent at the battle OF Fair Oaks. The reason the
rebel General Magruder recognized the battery
there was because he had commanded it. He
was captain of the 1st United States artillery
and brevet- colonel of the United States army,
and brought the battery from Fort Leayen-
worth, Kan, where it was stationed, to Wash
ipgton at the outbreak of the war, and then,
resigning, went over to the rebels. He recog-
nized the battery by the guidon, not by the
report of the guns. Ricketts, battery had a
red guidon, while those of all the other Regu-
lar batteries Were red and white--the upper
half red and lower half white. Ours had been
made by his (Magruder's) own orders. The
battery took part in the Saturday fight and
could not move front or rear on account of the
mud, and Magruder, seeing the old battery in
his front, and thinking the boys would follow
him, gave orders to capture that battery at all
hazards, but to spare the men. Consequently,
his division charged on US three times, but we
had too much canister and too good support
for him. The glorious old Sedgwick and his
gallant I'd division, Cd corps, were too much for
the JOhnnies. And now about the guns. They
consisted of six twelve FOUNDER Napoleon guns,
with their caissons, &c, and were commanded
by First Lieutenant Edmond Kirby; but we
always called it Ricketts, battery, as General
Ricketts, had commanded it at the first battle
of Bull Run, and been wounded and captured.

Relieved by the Rebels.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
a good story is told of Colonel Ellmaker, of the
18th Pennsylvania volunteers, which serves to
illustrate how the wit of some men viii show it
SELF, even when placed III the most trying places.
When the 9th corps were fighting desperately
10 save themselves from being completely sur
rounded at Salem Church, Col. Elimaker. with
his regiment, was stationed in q very exposed
position ON the picket-iine, with orders from
Gen. Sedgwick 20 remain until relieved. The
day had been hot and the fighting hotter, and
as dusk of evening fell over the field the Con-
federates were pressing the brave old 18th.
till it became evident that retreat or capture
was inevitable--in fact, part of the regiment
was captured. Col. Ellmaker drew his men off
and saved his regiment. Shortly afterwards,
when it was generally supposed that the 18th
had been taken prisoners, Gen Sedgwick rode
sup, and seeing Col. Ellmaker and his regiment
all right, broke out stormily: "Col. Eilmaker,
who relieved you! Who relieved you, sir?"
Rebels, by CAD !" was the comic reply of Col
Ellmaker.
Sedgwick turned and rode away in silence

party died. | was released from prison on the

Malvern HILL that train Of fifteen or twenty

with wounded soldiers, started for Richmond.

Prices Retreat from Missouri.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
In your issue of March 9th Comrade KEGS
states that Price crossed the Boston Mountains
with larger force than he entered the State
with-which, possibly, may have been the case.
I hardly think he did. His last effort was 10
try and capture the post at Fayetteville, Ark.
His route of retreat from there was via Cane
Hill through the territory, and he crossed the
Arkansas River at Webber Falls, where he was
followed by General Curtiss mot Blunt with
two brigades of cavalry. One brigade consisted
of the Sd Iowa, 4th Iowa, and 10th Missouri,
under command of Colonel Benteen, of the 10th
Missouri, and the other brigade was composed
of troops that | do not now remember. We
parted from them and General Cnrtiss near the
falls, they going to Fort Gibson while Colonel
Benteen's brigade returned to St. Louis, and
went South to join in the Wilson raid.

The Tire Graces.

=" The greatest Of these Is Charity"
Three stately forms rode down the street,
Rode down ON paifreys three:
And one was Faith, and one wss Hope.
And one was Charity.
And Faith. upon her blood-red steed,
Was girt with bow and spear;
And Hope her charger dark night
Urged on with words OF cheer
But bending DER o snowy mane
There beamed most graciously
The sanity face and sanity smile
OF blessed Charity.
"Come ride with me- now one and ali,
They spaiSe with one accord;
And Faith cried Don your panoply,n
And Hope held out reward.
But. bending from her milk-white steed,
A voice came soft 10 me-
And said: Ny child, you're sick and sore,
Come ride with Charity"
She drew me TO her saddle bow
And clRsped me with smile,
And pressed unto her heart we rode
Through many weary mile;
Through hands Of fierce and boisterous men.
With garments dashed with blood;
Through noisy streets and angry naarte
And charges like flood
And Faith urged on the mighty men
W no light with spear and bow,
And Hope the holy men who do
The JOY OF giving know.
But Charity stopped down to lift
The beglsar 10 his feet,
And I'm her train weary host
OF pilgrim souls 20 greet
We rode until we came unto
A cleaning jasper gate.
Where Faith filings down her battered shield
And al expectant wait.
The cleaning gate Is open swung
An 10. an angel zee.
Who speaking calls, " Now welcome Faith,
And Hope and Charity"
sand who are these We bring to me
From that far world and drear7"
And Faith said, Lo. the saints who stroye
To gain an entrance befe.r
And Hope with radiant srnils mpake out,
Behold the gody men
Who for the rich rewards have deemed
Their fifty years ten"
But Charity said: "These are they
Whose lives were lone and sad
No Joy had they ia striving
And no rewards they had"
The jasper gates were opened wide,
They entered great and small;
And Faith upon her blood-red stead
Stood guard beside the wall.
And Hope with face uplifed,
Extended beckoning hand
Unto the distant pilgrims
Who sought the golden land
But midst the throng expectant,
The milk-white sleed alone
Strobe through the gates OF jasper
Unto the great white throne.
Then from the veil of spiendor
A voice was heard 10 say,
All hail thou well-beioved
Thou hsst been long awsyin
When from the milk-whit1 paifrsy

| am DESTROYS to know if growing madden is o
profitable crop, whether it Is much in demand ?

Ans. We cannot say positively that it is a
profitable crop, but incline 10 the opinion that
it is not. Madden dyes have largely been SUI
perseded by cochineal and other dyes. Nader
was formerly one of the principal exports of
Smyrna, but is now almost entirely out Of de-
mand.
Can you1nforn where can get seeds of the
Usage orange tree and about what il will cost per
pound?-sg. X. Goodno. Bigstone. Mimi
Ans We think that any of the Western seed
dealers could furnish il. It varies in value
from twenty-five cents per pound up to 81 per
pound. We have known of its being placed at
the latter figure in price-iists.
/ wish TO try few dozen plants OF the Japan
persimmon, If you think that 1t can be profitabIy
grown in this part of our State which Is somewhat
north of Frederick, Md.-John 8.

HANGING BASKETS FOR PLANTS.


We think that this method of growing plants
is not SO fashionable as it was several years
ago indeed, the plan was never very COM
mendable, and probably grew out of the popu-
larity of the culture of orchids or air plants
And yet We have seen hanging baskets of
plants which were very beautiful. The pre-
vailing error is that of endeavoring to stuff too
many plants in small space, and oftentimes
the kinds are not well fitted for association.
One of the neatest baskets we remember of
seeing was of oval shape, with high, rounded
handle The basket was flied with the fern
Adiantum cMaeatum, and the handle thickly
covered with the climbing fern Lygodiam
Japonicum. These were all the plants used and
they were sufficient Petunias are good sum-
mer towering basket plants; the ivy-leaved
geraniums are also well fitted. Slender grow
ing, creeping, or climbing plants are better
than bushy or rapid-growing kinds, as they
can be trained around the basket In some
what natural manner.
