The National tribune., 1885-01-15

To THE EDITOR: / see in your valuable
paper of Jan. a note of inquiry from Comrade
VIM. L. Hamilton, of Hustled, n. Y, a member
of Co. b, 126th n Y, asking if there is not any
one to write word of praise for his regiment
In reference to his inquiry l will say that
Bonaparte never crossed the Alps with better
lot of boys than the 125th N. Y. was composed
of. 1t was commanded by Col David s. Cowles
who fell at Port Hudson La, and participated
in the battles of Port Hudson, La, May ~ and
sura Plains, Atchafalaya, La, Halltown, Ber-
ryville, Winchester, Cedar Creek, Fishers Hill,
Va. 1t also did valuable service in the De-
partment of the Gulf and also helped to drive
the rebel Gen. Jubal Early from the Shenan-
doah Valley to Richmond. At Fishers Hill
the boys were commended in General Orders
for their gallantry.-M. KEANE Co. G, 128th

The Charge at KenesayT.

To THE EDITOR: Not seeing anything in
THE TRIBUNE from any of the members Of the
SD Ohio, thought would give q short sketch
of the charge at kenesaw, as | remember it.
On the morning OF June y, 1864, we were
taken from the lines we were then occupying,
and moved TO the right about three-fourt of
a mile. and just before forming in line for the
charge were ordered to uisiing knapsacks and
pile them. We thought about that time there
was something more than usual on hand, and
we soon found ii was the case when we filed
into line and formed into column by brigade
in view of the rebel works. The front line of
our brigade was the l25th H., 22d Ind, 65th,
S6th, and sd Ohio, commanded by Col. Dan
McCook 1t was about 10 a. III. when we formed
in position and threw out our skirmishers-the
Second Brigade OF our division on our right
and Rockers Brigade of the Fourth Corps on
our left. immediately in the rear of the right
wing Of our brigade was a small earthwork, on
the top of which stood Gems Thomas and JEFF c.
Davis, overlooking the lines and giving final
directions. About IL o'clock we moved on the
rebel works by signal. The rebel works in
front of US were to the right of Little Kenesaw
Our regiment received orders to let no strag-
glers to the rear, but when the front lines were
broken it was impossible TO hold them. don't
think the sd fell back an inch from their po-
stion. In fact, we crawled up closer to the
rebel works and started to digging intrench-
uueLiS WILL our DdyODcUS IL steps from the
rebel line. i don't want the balance of the
brigade to think that We were any Drawer than
they because we held the front line at the
wind-up of the charge; for they were all brave,
as their losses will testify. There were men
from all of the regiments of our brigade on top
of the rebel works. The third or fourth day
after we got our works up the rebels threw
pick over, which hit Corpl Clancy and famed
him for two or three days. After things were
quieted down Gen. Davis came to look at our
position, and finding we could hold it, ordered
US to be supplied Immediately with picks and
shovels, which we used lively for about three
hours. Those lines we held until the rebels
evacuated on the night of July 3. On the Sec
~ond night after we threw up our works the
rebels threw fire balls in front of the sd only
Do you remember, sgd, what a racket they
raised? While here we used a small glass. some

our guns, to sight by, we sitting with our backs

glasses saved us, and proved to be bad for the
Johnnies as the prisoners afterwards told US.

was, but it was heavy. Among the number
was our brave Col. Dan McCook who said when

Why the Bridge at Port Republic Was Not Burned.

my the BfluSe ~ Y0TI hepuultC W8s MI Dufheus
To THE EDITOR: There has been much said
pro and con about the battle of Port Republic.
After over % years l will give you the version
Of it as remembered by an old soldier of the
division Of the gallant and brave Gen. Shields.
To the members Of that division this may call
to mind the facts in connection with that fierce
struggle between Jackson's forces and por
tion of our old command; but before proceed
ing further / will say that prior to that date
Gen. Shieldss Division was stationed along
the Shenandoah River and in the Luray Val
ley. when we received orders to report to Gen.
Mcdowell ss Falmouth, Va. We did SO, and
were reviewed by the President, and then
ordered back to the Shenandoah Valley to
intercept Jackson's retreat. On arriving at
the river we found it high and rushing tor
rent, produced by late rains. Our brigade was
stationed at White House Bridge. Other por-
tions of the division were placed at different
points where they would be of most service.
Col. Carroll's Brigade was sent to Port Republic
to destroy the bridge, and thus intercept Jack
sons retreat Now, the question, it seems to
me, is: Why was it not destroyed? / re-
member as well as if it were yesterday the
report that was rife among the troops and it
is this: "Gcn. Mcdowell intercepted He sent
a dispatch to Col. Carroll to hold the bridge,
but not to destroy it under any circumstances"
That was the common report i'll camp. An
other thing am called upon to mention, and
that is, the 1st VIVA. Cav, after over % years,
is coming to the front We could not get them
there when we were after Jackson. 1t used to
be the saying among the boys that white
horse in pasture would put company to
rcut. l do not blame them now, but / do not
like to hear them condemning Col. Carroll, as
] understand the circumstances to be one i'll
which he had no choice but to do as he did.
Mcdowell did not like Shields, and in this
way he could and did get him out of the way;
for shortly after he was retired and Gen. o. S.
Ferry was placed in command of the division.
Mcdowell is responsible and l have been
waiting long time for some one else to write
the facts above stated, but cannot wait longer.

An ApDeal for Helm,

To THE EDITOR: Elliott Post, No 255, of
this place, had its hall destroyed by an incen-
diary fire on the 18th nit, and we are now
without place of meeting. We must either
surrender our charter or build new hall, but
the latter course is impossible without assist

Who Planted the Flag Mt jackson?

To THE EDITOR: In THE TRIBUNE of Dec
% under Who Planted the Flag at Jackson ?"
is an article that recalls curious or rather n
laughable incident Long before daybreak it
was we'll known to the Ninth Corps that the
rebels had evacuated Jackson, and soon as
it was light enough to see Adjutant Nat Wales,
of 35th Mass, took our cOlors and with my
company F. entered the city, took down the
rebel flag and placed the colors of the 35th on
the State House. Co. F was placed as guard,
with orders to keep all parties outside the in
closure. In about one hour column of troops
came up the street with drum corps and big
drum. As the head of the column reached the
entrance the command Halt! coors and color
guard to the 'front.'" and an officer with large
voice attempted TO pass the sentry, was halted,
and in a few words explained that his wish
was to put the colors on the State House. The
foliage of the tall trees hid our colors. He
wanted to know whose cOlors they were, and
on being informed said, ID the 35th!"
and, as believe, proceeded to the Court house
and gratifed his patriotism there. This is a
true statement of the affair, and that rebel flag
now, l believe, at the State House in Boston is
some evidence of the fact Gen. Ferrero with
his Adjutant- General, McKibbin, were with
Adjutant Wales.-AUGUsTUs HAsEN, Lieut.

U0yeY'S DiYiSiNn at ReSaca.

To THE EDITOR / see in your issue of Dec.
IL that Comrade J. B., Of the 10Th H., in de-
scrihing the part taken by the 5th Wis. battery
in the battle of Resaca, makes the statement
that Hovey's Division of Indiana troops, or
somebody else. was repused in the charge
made on the rebel lines Undoubtedly it was
somebody else. although the position and the
shells from the rebel battery will answer for
Hovey's Division OF Indianians, composed of
120th, I23d, 12ith, 125th. 10th and both Ind,
though hardly think the entire division was
in the charge. Our lines were formed for the
charge under fire of the rebel battery as named.
We lay down very close to the ground for a
few minutes, when we were ordered to charge.
The charge WAS made in good order the flag
of the 120tl Ind. was badly torn with shell
from the rebel works, but we were not rcpu!sed.
What say sou, comrades of the l20th and l29th
Ind, were we repulsed? This charge was
made on Sunday. / passed over part of the
battlefield on Monday; saw many of the Con-
federate dead still in the field, but no wounded.

Bay State Politics.

As time goes on the republican speech
and the republican platform, as we'll as
the republican candidate, improves,
Senator Hoar in his address before the
Massachusetts state convention showed
a commendable disposition To let Sen
ator Sherman finish the war in Ohio,
while he discussed some of the ques-
lions that have grown out of it. As
"a result the address was good one
aud treated at questions that are of vi
tai interest to the men of to-day.
The platform adopted by the Massa-
chuSctts republicans was specially
prmseworthy. Every plank meant
something and they were all nailed
down in manner that showed that
they were made out of live timber and
not of rotten, time worn wood. 1t was
on the whole one of the best platforms
that has gone forth from any of the
political conventions thus far this fall
Gov. Robinson was renOminated as
every body supposed he would be aud
will receive the support of his party,
despite the fact that Oliver Ames is
hitched on to the ticket. 1t looks as
though there would be no kickers
among the Massachusetts republicans
this year, and there isn't any good
reason why there should he.

works, but is now dry for half it's
cause the timber has been cut off.
Another speaker declared that the par
tial decreasing of the Adirondack re-
giOn has materially affected the flow
of the Hudson, the Mohawk, the Black
and other rivers, and were this great
watershed of New York stripped of it's
forest covering, the Empire state would
he reduced to a desert and New York
city to a provincial town.
But these tree men did something
besides grumble they suggested rem
edies for the difficulty. With an ample
array of statistics the financial success
of forest culture was proved beyond a
doubt. The valuable results that have
followed the observance of arbOr day
in the West were shown, and a more
general observance of the day in New
England urged. A resolution was also
adopted approving of the movement
lately inaugurated by the Grand Army
posts, by which memorial day is trans
formed into arbOr memorial, the plant
ing of trees being substituted for the
strewing of flowers. While the savans
are disputing about the actual effect
decreasing has on the rainfall and the
flow of rivers, VermOnters should at
least make good the loss that is con-
stantly going Oh hereabOuts and should
know better than to kill the goose that
lays the golden eggs.
