Moral Courage in Battle.

To THE EDITOR: In issue of THE NATION
AL TRIBUNE of July %, 1885, under the head
ing Kinds of Courage" by Col. E. Il. c. judi
son ("Ned Buntline }, he first speaks of
physical or brute courage; next, of moral
courage-men who feel fear, who never enter a
storm Of shot and shell without feeling cold
spots all over them, but who are ashamed to
run or exhibit the real tremor that they feel.
When | read the above | was reminded of an
incident that occurred on the skirmish-line at
the second battle of Bull Run. Our regiment
was on the skirmish-lne aud we were advanc-
ing through an old field in which there were
quite number of small brush and large
punches of grass. The firing had become quite
brisk, when large cotton-tail rabbit jumped
up and ran back through and diagonally to the
line when one of the men of Co. III stopped
and placed the butt of his rife on the ground,
and, resting his hands over the muZZle, turned
his head and looked over his shoulder towards
the rabbit and spoke, as in a soiloquy, Go it,
cotton If l had no more character to lose
than you have, l would run too"
There were two or three of us close by and
he spoke loud enough so that we could hear
him. AT that time and ever since l have
thought that was the true solution to what is
usually termed moral courage Where was
the husband and father that was willing to re-
turn home to his wife and children and have
it said that he turned coward and deserted his
comrades on the field of battle; or the young
man that would return to his sweetheart and
be scorned by her for having deserted his col
Ors? Death was preferable. l have often been
asked what my feelings were on going into
battle, and have never been able to express
myself any better than by telling the above
incident.-LEMUEL h. MORTON, Co. Is, LIST Pa,

The Cholera.

The plague still continues its ravages in
Spain, averaging about 1,S00 deaths daily and
nearly 5000 cases. The condition of Grana-
da is pitiable. Hundreds ofpeople are attacked
by cholera in single streets nearly every day.
There are no doctors and no authorities to look
after the victims, who often pass through their
agonies in the streets and expire, unattended,
in the cutters. Most of the unaffected popula-
ton have fled. Corpses remain uncoiIined and
unidentified The very misery wrought by the
plague has become nuisance, and the Govern
ment has resorted to the desperate expedient of
compelling the soldiers aud the convicts to
carry on the work of removing from the public
ways and interring the bodies of the unknown
dead.
In Marsciles the death range between 40 and
so daily, according to the official records, but it
is generally believed the mortality is much
greater

The Death OF Gen. Polk.

To THE EDITOR: see in your issue of July
30 that Mr.. Keith differs with Mr.. Rice as to
who it Was killed Gen. Polk. l will briefly
state what know about it. According to my
diary kept at the time, Polk was killed June
ID, 1864. by Capt. SimOnson's battery. The
fact that he was killed was known within a
few minutes by the reading of the rebel mes
sage sent by signal from Pine Hill to the top of
Kenesaw Mountain, and transmitted to Gen
Johnston at Marietta. Some correspondent
writing to the Globe Democrat a few years ago
gave me the credit of reading the message
This was not correct. Capt. Taylor read the
message and was so elated that he forgot the
injunction of secrecy imposed by Sherman,
Thomas and Howard, even as to the fact that
we could read them, but jumping to his feet
cried out, "Gen. Polk is killed here is the
message To Gen. J. L. Johnston: Gen. Polk
has just been killed the remains are in transit
to Marietta" A correspondent Of the New
York Herald being in hearing distance wrote
to his paper by what means it was known in
our camp within 90 minutes that Gen. Polk
was killed, and thus destroyed means of gain
that had been of great value. Upon learning
what the shot from his battery had DONE Capt
Simonson remarked that he was satisfied He
had avenged the death of his brother who had
been killed a few days before. Brave and gal
LIANT Capt. Simons0n himself was killed two
days aftcrward Mr.. Keith is entirely mistaken
rs to the captured rebel signal officer interpret
ing tho message for our information.-WM.
LEONARD, ex-Signal Officer, Fourth Corps,
Baldwin City, Kan.

The Gun at Knob Gap.

To THE EDITOR: Will you allow me little
space in your valuable paper in reply to Com
rade Yost, Co. A, 21st Ill.,, in regard to the cap
tured cannon at Knob Gap. In the first place,
l claim that our company was in direct range
of the captured gun, and his company must
have been the length of our regiment to the
left. Secondly, there was no skirmish-line be-
tween US and the captured gun, and the idea
that skirmish-line could rout a strongly
posted force with a six-gun battery is too alb
surd for moments consideration. Thirdly
E. II. Kilbourn, of Co. A, 101st Ohio stoutly
asserts that he was the first man at the gun,
and Col. Heg, of the 18th Wis, rode up imme-
diately after and planted the colors of his regi
ment on the gun. Fourthly, Gen. Rosecrans
in his official report says: I" The gun was cap
tured by the 10lst Ohio and 18th Wis, ;" no men
tion being made of the 21st III. Lastly, l would
not detract one iota from the honers of the 2lst
Ill, for they were brave regiment, and nobly
stood by US in every time of need. Neither
will yield any that belongs to ours 1 passed
through the whole affair, and have stated it &C
cording to my best recollection.-B. I. STRONG,
