WICHITA, Kans., July 6.-The Eagle
dispatches FROM Fort Reno and Darling
ton, the seat Of the apprehended troubles.
says: Sixteen companies are now upon
the ground. The Indians, in speaking of
the probability of their being disarmed by
the government, say they will die before
submitting to that, as it would be death
in either event. There is little doubt but
that white men have had a hand in
working the Indians up to a warlike atti-
tude. The Cheyennes were considerably
excited to day over the quartcring of some
freshly arrived troops in the vacated
Arrapahoe school building, and since the
accidental killing of an Indian at the
lodge their medicine dances have been
more incessant. The special says such
heathenish practices as are now going on
daily have not been witnessed in many
years, and old Indian fighters say that a
renewalof these war dances is inexplicable.
So far as the presence of the sixteen
companies is concerned, the Indians seem
to care little, believing themselves able to
whip a much larger force.

The Army viii Feed the Apaches.
WASHINGTON, July G.-General Soho
hefl has forwarded to the war department
a dispatch from Colonel Bradley, in which
the latter say the Mascalere Apaches in
the vicinity Of Southeastern New Mexieo
are becoming restless ON account of their
supplies giving ont. At present they
have nothing but beef and short rations.
In communicating the above dispatch TO
Adiutant General Drum, General Soho
field says as there are as many Indian diff
%iculties as the troops are able to handle,
he thinks if the Indian bureau can not
furnish supplies to these people, that the
army had better feed them out of their
own stores and charge the amount to the
Indian bureau. Secretary Lamar con
scented to this proposition and General
Schofeld is directed to issue rations from,
military stores at the posts where the
trouble is threatened.

HCyey'S Division at Port Gibson.

To THE EDITOR: have read several letters
from different ones telling of the part their
respective regiments and brigades and Giyis-
ions took in the battle of Port Gibson Miss,
May ], 1868, but have not seen any account of
the part taken by the old 47th Ind and the
Second Brigade, Hovey's Division, Thirteenth
Corps, Col. Jas. H. Slack of the 18th Ind, COM
manding brigade. We crossed the Mississippi
River OIL the Both of April to Brunsburg Miss,
on gunboats, and on the same evening got
marching orders. We were ordered to talk
FIVE days rations. So the boys took what hard
tack they could get into their haversacks, ard
each one took a hunk of picked pork (what
they thought they could carry, and fixed bayo-
nets and placed their sowbelly upon the points
and you can judge what a comical looking sight
it was to see that brigade Of men, each man
with his hunk of bacon on his bayonet and
arms at will. We marched all night, and what
a tedious march it was. We did not have much
rest for several nights. Some times we would
halt about long enough for q fellow to get into
comfortable doze, and then the command
would come along the line Fall in -; and this
was the way it was kept up all night So little
after daylight on May l we were filed right
into field and told TO get breakfast; but before
our coffee water got warm some of the boys got
into row with the Johnnies upon the hill in
advance of us, and we were ordered to fall in
and that was the last cooking we did until some
IiLue TIC NeAU uay. MOSt OF the men mad
thrown the bacon off their bayonets during the
night, as they were too tired to carry it. Well,
we went up that hill in the direction of where
the boys and the Johnnies were fighting il out,
and our regiment was ordered to support bat
terry of 20-poHnd PARROTS belonging to the 1st
U. s., and while we were supporting that bat
terry the rebels charged the brigade TO our right,
and brought up battery in front of US that
made things warm for few minutes. But the
boys to our right repulsed the Johnnies, and fol-
lowed up the repulse with charge, and took
this rebel battery. 1t seems to me can see the
Johnnies yet getting over that rail fence
Now, think this is the battery that there
is some dispute about as to who captured it, I
was under the impression that Gen. Osterhaus's
men were the captors, but am not certain. 1
was too busily engaged in my own affairs about
that time to take notice. There were too many
balls and shells flying over our way land, besides,
was lying in a nest of ants, and they were
plying it to me as well as the Johnnies so,
you will Observe did not have much time to
skirmish around and find out who had the
honor of taking that battery. Our brigade later
in the day was the recipient of the charge of
the rebel Gen. Tilmans Division. which we
repulsed with the loss of many of our brave
men and q heavy loss to the rebels, for they
fought desperately. A. AspINwALL, Co.

TIE THE EDITOR: In your issue of Dec. IL
iuoiice the statement toade by Colnrade Brown
ABOUT the IUka fight. Now, we all sec with
Different eyes, and | sGw the fight in very
dsdercnt light to what GTomrade Brown did.
The 11th Ohio battery held a position in the
road, supported by the 5th Iowa. Our regi-
ment (4th Minn.) formed On the left of the
9th Iowa-the rebels in front in an open field,
with about five men to our one. The 11th Ohio
battery had opened the ball before we came
into line, and had the 18th Wis., battery been
on our left there would have been no use of
our regiment falling back into the old road at
the edge of the woods, for this movement was
caused by a flank fire on our left.
We held our position lin the r0ad) two and
a half hours The rebels had in this time
taken the battery three times, and the 9Th
Iowa had taken it back as many. 1t was now
quite dark, and other troops coming up, re-
lieyed us. We marched by the right flank to
the right and rear of the battery. In this move
ment three companies of the regiment, with
Capt. lie Gro, were separated from the other
seven companies, and Capt. Inman took COM
igand of us. We finally came to a halt and
rest-at-will, and remained here some 10 min
utes. During this time we could hear men in
front of us, and supposed they were our own
men. (They were rebels.) Then the S0th Ohio
formed i'll our rear about eight rods, SO close
we could hear every command. All of sud-
den Voiley was fired from the front (rebel
lines), wounding some Of our men. Then the
Soth Ohio, taking us for the enemy, fred into
us, and continued so to do until Capt Inman
went to them and made them understand that
they were firing into their own men.
In the morning l visited the battlefield, and
there saw friend and foe together with the
battery horses, laying in heaps, as they were
slain. The enemy had been bolstered up with
gunpowder and whisky, as all of their slain
were black in the face.
should like to hear from some of the 5th
Iowa about this fight, for l am sure that l am
correct. do not think the 18th Wis was on
our left, or any other troops / think the
Union forces in the fight actual fghting) were
the 4th Mimi, 5th Iowa. 18th Ind, S0th Ohio,
and the 18th Iowa. This last regiment did not
belong to the brigade. but had taken the place

DYSPEPSIA.

sedentary habits, mental worry, nervous
excitement, excess or imprudence in eat
ing or drinking, and various other causes,
induce Constipation followed by general
arrangement of the liver, kidneys, and
stomach, in which the disorder of each
organ increases the intirmity of the others.
The immediate results are Loss of Appe-
tite, Nausea, Foul Breath, Heartburn, Flat
ulence, Dizziness, Sick Headaches, failure
of physical and mental vigor, distressing
sense of weight and fullness in the stomach,
and increased COstiyeneSS, all of which are
known under one head as Dyspepsia.
Inevery instance where this disease does
not originate from serofulous taint in the
blood, AYERS PILLS may be confidently
relied upon TO effect q cure. Those eases
not amcnable to the curative influence Of
AYERS PILLS alone will certainly yield il

purifying properties of AYERS SARsAPA-

COL. CROSS.
Did He Write the Peetryi

To THE EDITOR: Ny attention has been
called to an article in THE TRIBUNE OF Nov.
9th, written by A. NJ. Sawyer, Co. K, 45th Iowa,
in memory of Col. Edward E. Cross, OF the 9th
\. III. The eulogy expressed is worthily be-
slowed upon one of the bravcst of those who
achieved distinction as commanders during the
war. l had the honor to serve under Col. cross
in the four great battles in which he fought
with his regiment prior to the battle of Gettys-
burg, and was serving on the brigade stan I'M
der him when he fell on that bloody field while
in command of our First Brigade, First Divis-
ion, Second Corps. During these campaigns it
was my good fortune to be often intimately
associated with him, and thus had frequent
opportunities OF becoming acquainted with his
ability and character as a soldier.
As a memento of my revered chief have IN
my possession his copy of the u. 5. Army
Regulations On the back cover of the book
are the following unfinished lines of poetry in
his own handwriting:
'Tis sweet for our country to die
In the front rank TO perish
Breast TO the foe, vict rvs shout in our ear,
Long they our statues shall crown
And i'll songs our memory cherish,
We shall look forth from our Haven
Pleased the sweet music 10 hear
The lines bear no quotation marks, and
have made many efforts in the last few years
to discover whether they are original with
Col. Cross or not, but with nc success.
Our friend Carleton" the valued writer of
TRIBUNE sketches, who is good authority on
war literature, tells me he is quite sure of
having seen the lines somewhere, but cannot
remember when or where. He is inclined to
think that Cross is not the author OF them; but
this only increases my desire to know def
nitely.
Previous to the war Col Cross followed
journalism as profession, having worked his
way up from boyhood, when he was helper In
the Office of a country newspaper. He was for
ington for the Cincinnati Times, New York
Herald and other influential journals and sub
sequently chief editor of the T5aieS
A short biographical sketch, from which l
CLEAN the above also says: Prose sketches and
gems OF poetry frequently came from his pen
under the signature of Richard Everett" Z"
An effort will soon be made 70 erect on the
spot where he fell a suitable monument to his
memory, and the writer has thought that if
these lines are original with Col. Gross they
might be deemed an appropriate legend to in
scribe upon it.
In any event, they are strongly characteristic
of the love and devotion that he bore for his
country, a devotion that Was expressed by his
last words in the throes Of a painfully agoniz-
ing death.
/ am hoping that some one from the thou
sands of readers of the soldiers true friend,
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, will be able to assist
in determining this matter Of authorship.
The friends of the 5th n. II. are making
preparation to publish a history of that regi-
ment. Any information bearing upon it or
the soldiers who helped to achieve its fame,
will be thankfully received and acknowledged.

claimed that the 125th captured it, know
that the 125th Ohio was noted for foraging, but
] never knew that they ever stole honors from
