Siege of suffolk.

To TIE EDITOR: l am much interested in
reading different articles in THE TRIBUNE, and
of late particularly those relating TO Carrie
toms" account of the siege of Suffolk, and the
criticisms called forth by that account by one
or two comrades, which are as much or more
astray from the truth than is Carleton"
account. In the main Carleton" is right.
He is right when he says that six companies of
the Sth Conn. and six companies of the seth
\. Y, or at least portion of each of those
commands, were ferried across the river by the
gunboats and captured the fort, nOtwithstand-
ing Comrade Armstrong; account to the con-
traTy. Carleton is wrong in this particular:
He says that Gen. Longstreet was surprised.
In moment all his plans had been overturned.
lie saw that he must abandon all thoughts of
crossing by bridge, and to capture the Union
line he must begin regular siege.
Now, what are the facts? Gen. Longstreet
iSlad been bcsieging our lines 81 or % days when
the force above mentioned captured Fort
Hays and that party had the audacity to
cross the Lower NansemOnd and march out
three miles and drive the Confederate cavalry,
as he describes. The facts are that Longstreet
was upon the point of abandoning the siege
instead OF commencing it. 1t was only day
or two after that he and his entire force left us
and went to join Lee. | wish to say right here
that the party which crossed The Lower Nanse-
mond aud turned the Confederate left flank
\. Y. M't'd Rides We took quite number Of
prisoners by that movement.
Now. in another particular Comrade Arm
strong is wrong. He says that Col Donohue
commanded the 18th y. H., when the truth is
he commanded the 10th \. III. Comrade Arm
strong pretends to know what Longstreet
wanted. He says he did not want Portsmouth
or Norfolk, for he did not make any effort TO
take them. Now, have it in my mind that
he did make quite an effort for them, for he
kept US p days in the trenches digging and
watching, to prevent him from crossing the
river. 1t does not appear to me that he would
have spent p days time to gather up what
little provision and forage there was between
the NansemOnd and the Appomattox Rivers,
when he already held most of the ground, be-
fore coming TO Suffolk with his army.
In regard to Comrade Parliman's statement,
j will leave that with Comrade Oulahan. /
think he has got the right of the matter 1t

Gen. Corcoran, and not Col Hawkins.-H. E.

How the Sixth Corps Heard the News Of Lees
Surrender.

To TIE EDITOR: On the morning of April
9 our corps had been ordered TO a point near
Amelia {. II, where body of the enemy was
reported TO be posted, hut upon our arrival no
enemy appeared, and we were obliged to re-
trace our steps TO the place of starting. This
detour put us some four or five miles in rear
of the rest OF the army, consequently we heard
but little of what was going on at the front.
About p. m. we entered large field entirely
surrounded by woods. Orders came for US 20
halt and cook coffee As this was the first
time since leaving Petersburg that We had re-
ceived this order, we were somwhat surprised.
Scarcely had our fires been started ere loud
cheering, mingled with the booming Of cannon
came to our ears from Beyond the forest IN our
advance. Myself and several others visited
division headquarters, located few rods from
our regiment, 10 ascertain, If possible, the
cause of the up-Oar. One of the Ordcrlics in
formed Us that ali the general officers had been
ordered 10 report at Corps Headquarters, and
that, in his opinion We were soon 10 hear good
news. As Gen. Wright's headquarters We're
within sight of cur camp, we could plainly see
the group of horses belonging to the various
division ana brigade commanders clustered
about tine tent above which ioatcd the swallow
tailed flag bearing the figure six.
Suddenly that group dissolved as by magic,
each officer dashing madly toward his COM
mand. Fall in" was the shout that ran
brigade commander. arrived opposite his COM
mand every mau was in his place As he
reached the center of each regiment he shouted
WILDLY swinging his cap above his head the
while), " Boys, Lee has surrendered with his
whole army!
1t would be impossible for any person TO ade-
quateiy describe the exciting scene that fol-
lowed this announcement. Officers and pTi-
Yates shook hands, rs if they had Just met after
a separation of years, hats were thrown in air,
and guns discharged. while above the cheers of
the multitude rose the inspiring strains of
Hail Columbia" Red, White and Blue" etc.
While the excitement was at its hight two
of our batteries wheeled into position on the
hill in our rear and added 10 the uproar.
Gen. Lee is cOming!" ran like fire through
the disorgauized ranks and a wild rush was
made for the road. Instead Of Lee it proved to
be our own commander, Gen. Meade Cheer
upon cheer rent the air as the gray-haired vet
eran gallOped past Just as Gen. Meade disap-
peared a regiment of rebel prisoners came
tTudging past. How are you, johnny Reb?'
shouted some of the boys as they were passing.
There amt no Rebs now; we're all Yanks, F"
was the answer, which called forth loud
hurrah from our boys for the new made
Yanks.
Hard tacls were freely distributed amongst
them as they passed, for every man felt I'M
usually generous. All night long the men
shouted and sang, while the officers who could
get il INDUCED in an extra ration Of " commits
sary." Home and friends seemed nearer that
night than ever before.-C. Ii. ENos, l22d n.

There cannot possibly be more distressing
infection in the long list of painful disorders,
not one that has bafiied the skill of physicians

To those afflicted we would advise TO try

remedy, and cures quickly aud permanently.
The Editor Of this paper is not only well

Stbnya the Cjouds.o

To THE EDITOR: | was somewhat amused
rs well as entertained while reading the article
in your paper of Jan. l, 1885, entitled above
the Clouds" written by Col. VIM. Richards,
29th Pa. The Colonel must have thought that
all of the brave men who composed the Whit
aker Brigade had gone to keep company with
the brave and noble ones of that brigade who
gave up their lives on that occasion. We wish
To inform him that such is not the case and as
he brings forth his diary he will find theirs
are yet preserved We will not dispute with
him prior to where he says, " | made an oblique
change OF front on sixth company. The move
mcnt was executed in excellent order without
loss of time OF ground" This parading among
the rocks where men could hardly stand, did
not seem to be appreciated by Whtakers men;
for he says: Gen. Whitaker's men did not ap-
pear to understand this movement, for when
they saw my right moving back they gave
cheer to encourage US, thinking we were re-
treating" That is probably just what they
thought, Colonel. Don't you remember with
what rush they passed through your lines,
charging the enemy, capturing the artillery,
and sending back to you the Johnnies that you
found behind the rocks In squads of five to so;
you sending them on further down the noun
tain and claiming the credit therefore,
If you captured those guns and took the
lead, as you claim you did, how did it happen
that Maj. Thomas Acton, of the 10th Ohio, and
l3 of his men lay dead and ID severely wounded
between where you were parading and that
battery2 The following copy of tho receipt,
now in possession of Hon. j. N. Oren, shows to
whom belonged the credit of capturing those
guns:
CAMP AT LOOKOUT CREEK, Nov 25 1863
Received of j. N. Oren, Sergeant of Co. b, 10Th
Ohio, two pieces of artillery captured by the 10th
Ohio at the battle of Lookout Mountain.

First Lieut.. and Ordnance officer. First Division

Since the Colonel has q diary from which he
quotes, let us quote some from the diary of the
historian Of the 10th Ohio: ut Is quite sur
prising that there should have been dispute as
to the comparative value of the services of the
different commands participating in the battle
