Chattanooga and Franklin.

To THE EDITOR: A copy of your issue of
Nov. II has just been sent me. L notice an
article headed Taking of Chattanooga" and l
would like to add word to it, Charles G..
Harker was Colonel of the regiment | belonged
to,-the Goth Ohio,-and l don't suppose there
was regiment in the army that was prOuder
of its Colonel. A Drawer officer never drew a
sword.
Maj. Coulter says that Chattanooga was taken
without firing single shot. He has forgotten
that Sept. 8, the day before we entered Chatta-
nooga, in Willis Valley at the foot of Lookout
mish with the enemy, and one man was killed.
His name was Harry Beitel. We were advancing
on Chattanooga and were skirmishing with the
outposts of the enemy. Col. Harker was COM
manding the brigade; the Gath and 65th Ohio
was part of the brigade.
Now, l wish to correct "Uncle Daniel y
where he says Gen. Pat Cleburne was riddled
with bullets on the breastworks at FranktOwn
(Franklin). Gen. Cleburne was shot about 80
yards from our works. A ball hit him in the
breast, and he threw up his hands and fell
backwards off his horse, one foot remaining IN
the stirrup. The horse dragged him about 10
steps, the horse advancing on top of the works,
about six feet from where | was. | ordered
a man with Henry rifle to shoot the horse.
The animal fell with his forefeet on the inside
of the works. There was a gum coat fastened
to the saddle, and private jumped on the
works amid the storm of bullets and took the
coat off the saddle. / was pleased to learn of
Maj. Coulter's whereabouts, and hope ne will
write again.-P. P. MCCUNE, Co. T, 6oth Ohio,

A s. Wandering Jeyyo

To THE EDITOR: In reply to Comrade Stan
ford l wish to say few words in regard to the
oldest soldier His name was George Thatcher,
and he belonged to the 74th N. Y. He was the
butt of the regiment and if the boys wanted
any fun they always hunted up Thatcher
They made him believe he was wonderful
man, a splendid singer and magnificent dancer,
who could beat any darkey in Maryland or
Virginia. In reality, he was not as active as
the oldest mule in the service of Uncle Sam
and the mule was far more melodious, and his
notes were clearer than Thatchers. Our regi-
ment was encamped in Lower Maryland in the
Fall of 1861, guarding the Potomac, and
Thatcher was put one night to guard cattle
pen containing three bullocks. In the morn
ing one had disappeared. Thatcher was called
to the Colonel's tent and informed that he must
pack his knapsack and start out and find the
"critter," with strict orders not to show his
face in camp again unless accompanied by that
bullock. Twenty-four years have passed and
he has not found it yet. Now, Mr.. Editor
don't believe a soldier ever lied, stole, drank,
or did any mean action. And that man is
hunting that bullock yet If any people
around Port Tobacco see the skeleton of a man
in a Rip Van Wrinkle Government suit, don't
get scared; it is only Thatcher hunting Gov
ernment beef.-ALFRED X. OATES, Co. A, 74th

More "Loyai" Rebels.

To THE EDITOR: A conrade recently fur
nished your excellent paper with very in
teresting account of the good Union men of
Athens Ala, whose homes were guarded by
his company and who repaid their kindness
few days afterward with shotgunS. The ex
perience is so similar to one the writer hal at
Port Gibson Miss, in July, 1864, that he feels
moved to relate it, in the hope that it may
draw out some OF the boys who were there. Our
brigade-the Mississippi Marine-was with Slo-
cum on an expedition i'll the rear OF Nlci<sburg
which returned to the river al Grand Gulf The
rear guard, to which my company belonged,
halted day in Port Gibson, while the main
command was getting over Bayou Pierre and
into position at Grand Gulf While We were
loiling on the grass under the shade, enjoying
a little much-needed rest citizen came to
us with the request that guard might be placed
in his yard to protect his property from the
bummers. He protested that he was a stanch
Union man. and was anxious for the triumph
of our cause Much to our disgust a comrade
and myself were detailed for the purpose and
accompanying him to pleasant home on a
pretty street, we mounted guard over this pre-
cious bit of loyal territory. Loyal citizen sat in
the shade and famed himself with evident sat
isfaction as he observed the good effect of the
guard at his gate. That evening we left there
and joined the forces at Grand Gulf, where we
were attacked next morning at daylight by
rebel cavalry. After they were beaten Oft some
of our boys found among their killed this very
loyalist who was so happy the day before to
have on his premises couple of Union soldiers.
Perhaps he felt so badly at our leaving, he
thought he would come and take us back

Officers and Soldiers Of the 25th IH:
AS your term of three years service has expired
and you are about TO proceed to your State to be
mustered out, it is proper and fitting that the Colo
mel commanding should express TO each and all his
earnest thanks for the cheerful manhood with
which, during the present campaign, you have sub
mted to every hardship, overcome every diff
Guilty, and for the magnificent heroism with which
you have met and vanqushed the foe. Your de-
pertinent in camp has been worthy true soldiers,
whilst your conduct in battle has excited the adj
mration of your companions-n arms. Patriotic
thousands aud a noble State will give you recep-
ton worthy of your sacrifices and your valor. You
have done your duty. The men who rallied under
the starry emblem of our nationality at Pea Ridge,
Corinth, Stone River, Chickamauga, Mission Ridge,
MONDAY Creek, Pinetop Mountain, Kenesaw
Mountain, Chattahoochee, Peach Tree Creek and
Atlanta, have made history for all time and for
coming generations to admire. Your services will
ever be greatly appreciated.

tee to each health, happiness and usefulness in
coming life, and may our country soon emerge from
the gloom of blood that now surrounds ii, and again
enter upon a career of progress, peace and pros
perity. BY order of w. ii. GIBSON,

recent communications regarding that battle.
George T. Smith, Goth Ohio battery, Avon
Lake o., says the flags of the 18th and S6th
Ind. were the first to float over the rebel words
on Mission Ridge. He says he is ready to
swear to this on a stack of Bibles as high as

| longed to a rebel Colonel who was in the charge
on the 14th Iowa at Pleasant Hill, La, April

B. A Spear, Co. K. 57th Mass, Milford, Utah,
says he was captured at the Petersburg mine
explosion, and was one of the comrades in cap
| tivity of Lieut.. Free S. Bowiey, whose article
on prison life recently appeared in THE Ma
