To THE EDITOR: wish to say to j. c. Moody,

strange hallucination of the mind when he says
that the brigade composed of the I'd, 9th, and
7th Wis; the 18th Ind, and oath Mich. was

They were either the Second or Third Brigade
of the above-named division and corps The
First Brigade was composed of the 22d, oath,
and 30th n. Y; 14th Brooklyn Militia, and a
part of the Berdan Sharpshooters, and were
the old original Iron Brigade, and retained the
name till the Spring of 1863, when the time of
the three frst-named regiments was out two
years troops), when the brigade was disorgan-
lied and the remaining regiments assigned
places in other brigades. Then, and not till
then, did the Wisconsin Brigade take the name

ceased to exist and had no further use for it.

Why Gen. Taylor Didn't Vote.

To THE EDITOR: In THE NATIONAL TRIB
UNE of the 14th ult. it is said that Gen. Taylor
took so little interest in politics that when
elected to the Presidency he had not voted fol
40 years." In his letter accepting the nomina.
tion for the Presidency old Rough and Ready y
said " l never voted, as never had a vote. II
/ had voted would have voted for Henry Clay >
Officers and soldiers of the Regular Army were
then and are yet virtually disfranchised. The
ruling was and still is that soldier neither
loses nor gains a residence while in the army
If he was legal voter where enlisted he can
vote there, but not elsewhere. I enlisted in
1S43 in Buffalo, n. Y, and during the 10 years
i was in the Army l was not allowed to vote
nor any of my comrades. Gen. Mcdowell went
from San Francisco to New York City to vote
Gems. Scott, Taylor, Wool Worth, Twiggs, and
many other officers passed their lives without
ever voting at all.-DANIEL MALoNEY, Arroyo

great outcry about his leg, which was broken
above the ankle by ball. / tried to quiet him,
but he said it seemed as if he should die with
the pain in that leg. He did not believe that
it was set right; would i know if i should ex-

to examine it. found the bone set right, but
when fastening the bandage i saw his ankle
was out of joint. l saw Surgeon coming down

then asked me if could help him set the joint.

the poor fellow was asleep. He said he had not

bered me, and spoke of that time with much

Or: of Custer's Men Indorses Col. Compson.

To THE EDITOR: AS a constant reader of THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE l have noticed the frater-
nal sympathy shown, either towards a comrade
or a comrades friend. In your paper of March
10Th last, in glowing editorial, you illustrate
the glorious military record of one of Clusters
famous cavalrymen, Col. Hartwell B. Compson,
and commend him for appointment as United
States Marshal for Utah Territory. AS the
Colonel went into the army as mere boy, it is
safe to assume that the patriotic fires burned
in his breast. The grand feature of our COM
radeship consists in the indifference we feel for
anothers partisanship. 1t makes no difference
at what shrine a cOmrade worships. what the
color of his skin, or what ticket he votes; if he
wore the Union blue and touched elbows" in
those dear old days, he is to be preferred, even
against brother. Col. Compson came from
good old Democratic stock such as is found
to-day in Seneca County, N. Y. President
Cleveland has an opportunity to supplement the
excellent appointments of Gems. Rosecrans and
John c. Black, by appointing Col. Compson, of
the Sth N. Y. Cav, and not alone challenge
the approval of the GAR, but particularly

ARMY OF THE TENNESSEE.
Gen. Logan Succeeds Gen. Mcpherson as Its Com

To THE EDITOR: l wish to correct state
ment of Gen. Carlins in his last article issue OF
May %. He says: about the 1st of August
the Army of the Tennessee, under command OF
Maj.-Gen. o. o. Howard. who had succeeded
the lamented Mcpherson" etc.
Gen. Howard succeeded Gen. Logan, the lat
ter having succeeded Mcpherson by promotion
onsthe field, July %, 1864, and while he COM
manded the army he moved it, only five days
after the repulse of Hood, seven miles to the
right in the face of the enemy, bringing on the
battle Of Ezra Chapel.
This seems to be too important an elipsis fol-
a writer of Gen. Carln's ability to make.
1t will be remembered that subsequently
Logan again was placed in command of the
Army of the Tennessee when Howard took
charge of the Frcedmau's Bureau, and mus
tered il out of service at Louisville at the close

The Sumptaous Fare at Belle Isle.

To THE EDITOR: In answer to John n. Col
sher Co. III, 1st KY, who solicits comrades and
fellow prisoners of Belle Isle to write up their
experience at that place, would say that the
half has not been told. Yes, who does not re-
member the red headed Sergeant who perpe-
trated all manner of deviltry on the unfortu-
mates under his charge. / never learned his
name, and it was withheld, perhaps, for good
reasons, for it was currently reported that he
was a renegade Northern man, the truth of
which, however, am not able to assert. The
beef was brought to the island in quarters cut
up and boiled in James River water, and we
all knew what that was, too. After the beef was
boiled the officers of the island were served
with the choice cuts until they were well sup
piled next, the guards received their allowance,
taking the best of what remained, and of the
balance (chiefiy bones, each 100 men received
IL pounds, or about Ii ounces per man. / was
there from July 21, 1863, to Sept. 2i, 1868. Part
of this time the weather was extremely sultry.
The beef was cut up and put in wooden pals
early in the morning, and set in long row out
side the pen in the seOrching sun, and left there
until o'clock, when it was issued. By this
time the large green flies had blown it so COM
pletely that it looked as if it had been covered
with timothy seeds. 1 suppose this answered
the purpose of condiments. Now for the soup.
Ye gods, what nectar! After the beef was
hciled the broth was dipped into barrels and the
kettles filled with James River water to the
amount of 16 pals to each kettle. To this was
added little rice or beans and one pail of beef
broth, and of this decOction one pint composed
our supper, which we received at 4 o'clock. Is it
necessary TO say more &c. +. ENGLE, Sergeant,
