exchange.
While the party were taking Devine
to his house, where the convict wished
to say good-by to hi. wife, a horseman
passed them at full speed, going toward
Florence, little town five miles to the
east The incident did not escape the
unsophisticated lieutenant. He sent an
orderly for the ambulance, and hurried
Devine through his farewells. When
the wagon drove up he was ready.
Everybody was mounted. The convict
had the appearance of being perfectly
hopeless
(Which way ?" asked the driver.
Parker looked Devine keenly in tho
face and answered
Back through Sacaton."
The convict dropped his head and his
hopelessness was no longer assumed.
"Our friend ON the horse will prepare
his ambush for nothing, won't hep"
asked Parker.
He just viii, replied the convict,
with a laugh.
That night at ten o'clock, having
driven eighty-three miles since nine in
the morning, the detail arrived at the
fort and Devine was secured in the post
guard-house. The colonel was delighted
and surprised
Il spoke" said he, "of having an
other officer here. I think [ had better
have him come now and give you a
leave"
"Thank You, said the bold lieuten-
ant; then he explained that leaves were
best for wedding journeys. and so led
up to 4 full revelation.
"In that case, replied the colonel,
with dusty, Arizona wit, Il will send
for my other daush er, and give Helen
q leave too"

VICTOR AND vANQUismED.

Upon the victOr's brow we lay
The glorious laurel wreath of fame,
And sing the praises of his name
With sweeter changes day by day.
And when his soul has passed from earth
We don the sOmbre garb of woe,
While high toward the heavens grow
The sculptured tablets of his worth
And through the ceaseless flight of time
The story of his might is sung,
His deeds rehearsed in every tongue.
By sage's prose and poets rhyme.
But he who in the struggle fell
The vanquished-'nea the victOr's stroke
For him no songs OF praise awOle,
His name no sculptured tablets tell.
He lies through all the silent years,
Unknown, forgotten in the dust,
Unhonored, though his cause was Just,
Bis grave unhallOwsd e'en by tears.
Poor, wasted life Shall you not have
Some time the glory that you sought;
Some honor for the battle fought,
Some recompense beyond the grave b?
Is there no wreath for those whose lot
Is cast among the vanquished slain ?
Is all their noble efforts vain,
Their patient suffering all for naught
1t may be so 4! Yet who can say
But DER the river Death may glide
Victor and vanqu!shed, side by side,
INTO the dawn OF a brighter day.
INTO the dawn OF a life divine,
In whose tranquil and steaGfast light
The wreaths of peace and truth and right
Upon the brows Of each shall shine.

The Iron Brigade.

To THE EDITOR: The New York comrades
who at this late hour claim that the Wiscon-
Sin Brigade took the name of Iron Brigade"
after the First Brigade of Kings Division of
two-year New York troops were mustered out,
are certainly in error, and appropriating to
themselves honors they never had. Will the
| comrades please inform the readers where a
| correspondent, any official documont history
or written article can be found, wherein the
New York troops were referred to as the :" Iron
| Brigade"2
| The Adjutant Generals Report of Wisconsin,
dated December, 1862 page 10, summing up the
| work of the 3D. 9th and 9Th Wis. at Gaines
| vile, Bull Run, South Mountain, and Antietam,
| says: wisconsin may we'll be proud of their
record, which has procured for them the name
of the Iron Brigade of the West" Quiner,
| in his History of Wisconsin in the War, uses
the same language. The Adjutant Generals
Report of the United States Volunteers, COM
piled under the direction of Adj't-Gen. R. c.
Drum, q. S. A., Synonyms of United States
| Volunteer Forces, 1861 to 1866, on pages 81 So,
I43 and 170, says: The I'd. 9th and 9TH Wis,
18th Ind. and oath Mich. were known as the
Iron Brigade"
Gen. Doubleday commanded brigade and
afterwards division in McDowell's Corps. In
his Gettysburg" Scribners Series, page AZ,
he speaks of them as the Iron Brigade"
Swinton, in his History of the Army of the
| gade"; while writer in the United Serpice
Magazine, September number, mentions them
as the " Iron Brigade"
| While at Harvard, H., Past Department
Commander Phil Cheek, who was a member of
Co. A, 9th Wis, said: az meant to have
dropped you line during the discussion on how
the brigade received its name, and give you
some interesting information. You remember
Capt Noyes and myself were among the
wounded at Antietam. While Capt. Noyes and
myself were at old gentleman Keedy's house
at Keedysville, near the battlefield, CORE
spondent of the Chicago Times called upon us
and drew out of me the story Of the brigade's
| fight at South Mountain. He took it down as
l talked it off, and was enthusiastic in his praise
of the conduct of the troops. He said: This
article must have big, black heading. What
shall give it?' Before l had a chance to an.
swer he said: Well call it the Iron Brigade
of the West, as they were all western troops
and that heading was put over the article and
was so printed. That is the first time / ever
| heard it called the Iron Brigade"

again referring to the much-discussed question
of what troops first entered Columbia s. c.,
am sure you will be willing to give space for q
letter which l have received from Gen. w. T.
Sherman on the subject. He says:
i have also read the claim that whilst the head Of

River, some three miles above Columbia, a small
detachment from Gen. Belknap's Brigade of Giles
A. Smiths Division, Seventeenth Corps, was ferried
across the Congaree at Columbia, and hoisted flag

time, and attach little importance thereto The
first troops which entered Columbia legitimately
and effectually were of Stones Qowa) Brigade o

The jersey Brigade.

To THE EDITOR: / read my NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE each week with great pleasure and profit.
and yet lay it down with regret that l never
see anything in it of the old Third Corps, one
of the bravest and steadiest of the Army of the
Potomac, that counted Hooker Kearney, a
Richardson, and many other brave men in its
ranks l would like TO say a word for the Sec
ond Jersey Brigade, noted for its soldierly con-
duct on so many fields Of honor had the
honor of serving in the gallant 5th N. j., and
whatever affects the brigade affects me, al
though SO many years have passed since / saw
member Of it. 1t was glorious sight to see
its ranks as it marched out on parade before
battle and disease had thinncd its ranks.
noticed some time ago a communication
from New York man, in which he says that
the Jersey regiments did not capture those
colors at Charlottesville. l say they did, as l
saw them in the possession of the brigade
myself, and will give an extract from Col.
Sewell's report; also, Capt Healy's report, both
of the 5th and Col. Francine, of the 9TH. Col.
Sewell was called to the command of the bri-
gade, Gen. Mott being wounded. Our line was
posted just to the left of the plank road. Col.
Sewell says in his report, which l have before
me: at has been the fortune of this brigade
to participate in many hard-fought engage
ments, but former experience was nothing in
comparison to the determination of the enemy
to carry this position. Battalion after battal-
ion was hurled against our ranks, each one to
lose its colors and many of its men taken pris-
oners. The 7th Jersey here took five colors,
and the 5th Jersey three"
Capt. Healy says: During this time we cap
tured three colOrs and great number of pris-
oners"
COL Francine, of the 7th regiment, says
AFTER short time my reg iment advanced into
the woods in front of the breastworks, and by
maintaining a fanking position under heavy
fire for over three hours, captured five stands
of colors and over 300 prisoners, among the
latter one Colonel, one Major, and several line
officers. The colors were taken from the 21st
Va, 18th N. c., list La, I'd N. c., and the fifth
from some Alabama regiment. The I'd N. G.
we captured almost entire"
The brigade lost during the day 37s men, as
follows: 5th regiment, IL killed, 104 wounded,
missing; 9Th regiment, 6 killed, SO wounded.

A "Reminiscences

To THE EDITOR: Some time before the wa,
young man named James C. Ballenger came
to Bedford, Ind, from Virginia, and worked fol
w. w. Stalling on farm near this place. In
August, 1861, he enlisted in Co. B, 18th Ind
At the battle of Port Gibson Miss, May /, 1868
he was mortally wounded in the leg and foot
and died from the effects of the wounds in the
hospital at Evansville, Ind, in June following
l was present when the Surgeon cut the bal
out of his leg, and he gave it to me. l yet have
it in my possession, and would gladly send il
to his relatives if / knew their whereabouts
Ballenger had no relations here, and am in
clined to think his friends live in Virginia
Perhaps an aged father and mother never knew
what became of him, and this may assist them
to obtain any back pay, bounty or pension tina,
may be due.-V. V. WILLIAMS, First Serg't Co

A Cautious Muleteer,

TorHE EDITOR: would like to ask through
your columns if anybody knows where Chas.
Goddard is, the man who used to curry his
mule off with curry comb on the end of a
10-foot pole. He was 10th vt. boy, and be-
longed to the bloody Sixth Corps we hear SO
much about. would like to hear from some
of the old First Brigade, Third Division, Sixth
Corps boys. The 15lst N. Y, 14th N. j., 10th
VT, S7th Pa. and 10th Ohio were in that bri-
gade. / Twas 10th Vermonter, and was wagon
master of the brigade train. don't recollect
of seeing our boys spoken of in your paper.
Just speak up, old comrades, and let US be some
body.-DAN z. HAMILTON, Co. F, 10th VT,
