truth under the sanctity Of an oath and on his
honor rs soldier.
Immediately after the volley referred to the
two regiments Of Pennsylvania Reserves that
had come up behind US, and not more than
rod or two in our rear, moved by the about
face down the hill, and it was with difficulty
that their commander was persuaded to return
them again TO our support The Goth Me- slept
on its arms that night with its pickets out. At
whose command this retrograde movement was
made the writer does not pretend to know. He
only gives the facts to show how little ground
the writer of the article referred to has for his
attack upon Maj. ii. S. Melcher's article. The
overwhelming defeat of Longstreets attack
upon the left that day made the advance upon
Great Round Top bloodlcss victory anyway;
but when Col Fisher claims to have captured
that position, with the Goth Me. deployed as
skirmishers, the veterans Of the latter Will de-
mand that credit shall be given to whom credit
is due. The writer does not know who com
manded those two Pennsylvania regiments, but
he does know that they had no part in estab-
fishing the line there, but came up after the
line was formed. He also knows that they did
not fire gun on Round Top that night. A
night attack was expected, but no demonstra'
ton was made by the enemy after the volley
referred TO was fired.-E. S. CoAN, Color Guard,

De Grasses Battery.

To THE EDITOR: Comrade S. L. Coulter is
much in error in his version of the capture and
recapture of De Grasses battery. Thousands
of living witnesses can testify that the First
Division of the Fifteenth Corps was the extreme
right of the Army of the Tennessee on that day
and joined onto the Twenty third Corps. The
capture of the battery by the Confederates and
retreat of it; supports was witnessed by the
entire First Division and by Gen. Sherman
himself, whose headquarters at that moment
was in the midst of that division. At that time
l think Sherman had serious fears that q
calamity was possible The body of Mcpherson
had just been brought to him in an ambulance.
The noise of the conflict that was raging to our
left had been rending the air for four hours,
yet no movement of our division had been
ordered. But as soon as the COnfederates
marched up to the battery, drove the men away
and shot down the horses so defiantly right be-
fore our eyes, we were hurriedly formed into
line, and we understood that Sherman himself
had ordered Gen. Chas. Woods, Commander of
First Division, to retake the battery and lost
ground at any sacrifice. The claim that mem-
bers of the 10Th Ohio were first to reach the
battery may be true, on account of the position
occupied by them i'll the line, but that they did
more to retake the guns than dozens of other
regiments which participated in that grand
charge is not true.-A. p. MCFARLAND, Co. *,

How James Dimes WAS Killed.

To THE EDITOR: A late number of THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE has an account by Phil Dimes,
4lst Ohio, of the taking of Browns Ferry
in October, 1863, by Turchn's and Hazen's Bri-
gades. This reminds me of another chapter in
the life of Phil Dines-a sadder one. /, too, am
4lst Ohio man. After the rebs evacuated
Kencsaw, July g. 1864, we followed closely and
next encountered them at the Chattahoochee
River and had an all-day skirnish. For good
portion of the day both sides were in pits with
only the narrow river between. The firing was
heavy and casualties numerous. Our Major will
liston) was wounded. was with that part of
the regiment in reserve. slightly in rear, and
having partial cover in some scattering timber.
Presently we got an order to change position.
A man lying at my feet as l sat back-up to a
tree, with his face downward, did not seem to
hear and made no sign when jostled. Rolling
him over he was found to be dead. A rife ball
had struck him just above the ear and pene-
trated the brain. The man was James Dimes.
How singular that none of US heard the thud of
the bullet. He was probably asleep and died
instantly. Four brothers (Dines) had enlisted
in the 41st. James was the third killed in ac-
ton. Somebody called Phil. He came to
where James was lying, picked him up and got
him Oh his back, the tears streaming down his
face all the while. He said: Come, Jim, let's
co." and took him off to the rear somewhere
and buried him.-A. WHITTLEsEY.

Did His Friends Get His Rings

To THE EDITOR: Capt. w. ]. McEaddy, Co.
II, I'd Fla. Cav. (Confederate), a gentleman
whose acquaintance / formed since coming
here told me of meeting Lieut.. Chapman, of
the 18th Ohio, during the Summer of 1863 he
thinks. The 18th were stationed at Greencove
Springs at the time. They used to exchange
papers with their enemies under flag of truce,
and feeling of genuine friendship sprang up
between them. Finally the 18th went on a
cotton expedition. After securing it they were
overtaken by the I'd Fla. Cav, when an en-
gagement was the result. The 18th was defeated
and the cotton recaptured. Lieut.. Chapman
was killed, and one of Capt McEaddy's men
took valuable gold ring from his finger. The
Captain sent the ring through the lines to be
sent North to his friends. The Captain, in
speaking of the circumstances, said he had
often felt curiosity to knowif his friends ever
received the ring. Should this fall under the
eye of any of the 18th Ohio comrades who
know anything about the matter. will they
kindly let me know, either by letter or through
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE? The engagement
of which mention is made occurred about IS
miles north of Palatka on farm belonging to

1t Was a Good Appointment.

To THE EDITOR: In The NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE of March 10 I'nOticed an item headed
"Well Worthy of the Place." 1t being the
first time that had seen any of the Sth N. Y.
Cav. mentioned in your paper, l must say a
few words in regard to the appointment of Col.
ii. B. Compson to the position of United States
Marshal of Utah. No more worthy man can
be appointed to fill any office than he. l en-
listed in Co. &, 9Th N. Y.sCav., in 1861, and
have known Compsoh from high private in the
rear rank to Colonel commanding the regi-
ment. No Drawer or more genial commander
ever followed the gallant Custer He was
always ready to lendia helping hand to dis
tressed OF fallen colprade. The skirmish- line
was his delight. If President Cleveland will
select as good and true men to fill all positions
as Col. Hartwell b. Compson, there is little
doubt in my mind that Utah, at the end of his
administration, will be on par with her sister
States and Territories.-E V. RUGAR, Captain,

Which Got There Firsts

To THE EDITOR: A comrade of the LIST Mo.
Cav. having made the statement through The
NATIONAL TRIBTNE that the 10th Ill. Cav. was
the first to cross the Arkansas River at the time
OF the taking of Little Rock, Ark, has called
for a like claim for the 18th ILL., Cav. by a COM
rade of that regiment. From my notes, taken
at the time, it seems that the Cavalry Division,
consisting of three brigades, was to cross the
river below Little Rock, with tine purpose of
taking the city, while our infantry were TO at
tack the rebel forces in their Notifications on
the north side. A pOntoOn bridge was laid
about nine miles below the city during the
night of Sept 8, 1868. The Second and First
Brigades were to cross On this bridge, the Third
Brigade to cross several miles farther down the
river. After the crossing the first of these col
umns reaching a converging point was to take
the advance. About sunrise on the 10th cross
ing at the pontOon commenced; the Second
Brigade consisting of the 1st Iowa, 10th ILL.,,
and Sd No. in advance and in column i'll
the order thus given. As the men dismounted
and led their horses over the pontoon, and but
few being able to be on it at the same time, the
crossing at the commencement seemed long
job, and doubtless would have been had not
Lieut.-COl. James Stuart, commanding the 10th
Ills, asked and received permission to try and
ford the river; at the same time he was in
formed that, from the best information obtain
ed this could not be done at that point. He,
the bridge and taking the lead, his regiment
followed and the crossing was safely made.
Perhaps, as a regiment, the 10th Ill. was the
first over, the 1st Iowa crossing by the slower
process, the pOntoon; but the advance of the
1st Iowa was over the water portion of the river
at least probably two-thirds of the distance
between banks was sand BARI before any of
the 10TH The 18th ILL., did not belong to the
First or Second Brigades, and ! suppose they
crossed with the Third Brigade some miles be-
low. The column crossing at the bridge got to
the converging point first To definitely settle
the point as to which command was the first to
cross the hour and perhaps the minute of
crossing of each of these columns would have
to be given.
AS matter of fact, however, suggest that
if this claim of the cOmrade of the 18th is SINH
lar to one following that three companies of
of that regiment iran old Pap Price out of the
city, and for 80 or 40 miles below" etc, it
might be that the 18th didn't cross the river at
all.-JoHN G. SPRINGER, 10th Ill. Cav, Spring

Homes for Soldiers.

To THE EDITOR: i have read the commu-
nications from c. w. Harrington, of Berryville,
Ark entitled Homes for Soldiers" with much
interest, and can indorse all be says, having
lived in that section several years. | would
like to mention, however, if you will allow
me, something which he has not-the health
of the region is grand away from the bottom
lands. Yet many experience some little trou-
BILE in getting aeclinated, and to go in the Fall
is considered the best time of year. My hus-
band, j. H. Stearns, of Co. III, 18th Mich, was
sick in Carver Hospital, in Washington, and in
camp several months: returned home in August
'65, a. walking skeleton. With good care be-
came somewhat better, but went to Arkansas
in SO for health, where he became comfortably
well. The country is very rough and rocky,
so much so as to greatly disappOint those
going there from level country. IN the Spring
the brawling streams and gushing springs are
numerous. Yet when the heat of the Summer
comes many of the springs are found to be " wet
weather" springs. Much of the land that
looks well in Spring has only few inches of
soil above the fiat rock, and will not produce
crops, so one needs to exercise caution, and not
buy in haste. / would also advise all who are
buying to look well to the title to land as there
has been much trouble in that direction. All
the grass is wild. 1t grows up quickly in Spring,
then during the long, hot weather becomes
dry and cures as it stands Tame grasses would
duced. No fodder is put up there except asmall
quantity of corn blades to feed during "crap"
time.
1t is great country for fruit. Apples do
we'll. Peaches never fail on high lands; and
such peaches mostly plum" or clingstone
peaches. The upland wild grapes, about as
good as Concord, grow in great profusion. Pea
nuts grow well, and cotton thrives. Mosketos
are never troublesome on high lands, there
being no stagnsnt water for them; yet there is
an excess of insect life-fees, chiggers and
ticks-the first due quite likely to the number
of dogs kept. Most of the travel is on horse
back or in covered wagons.
The purity of the air is great; people can
camp out the year round without taking cold.
Catarrhal and throat troubles soon disappear
in that climate, and the long, mild Fall weather
is the finest ever saw. The scenery is grand,
and with the vegetation is q continual delight
to those who love nature. Wild flowers grow
in great profusion and endless variety; also,
Towering shrubs and vines There are many
wild fruits. Pawpaws rank first. Poultry
thrives nearly all the year. Except in the vii
lagos neighbors are from one to two, three and
five miles apart. We came back North for
school and church privileges, yet often wish
ourselves back. There is room for many happy
homes in Northern Arkansas and Southern
Missouri.-Mrs. A. L. BLIss STEARNs, Leoni,
