Last BATTLES of the War.

To THE EDITOR: My attention has fre.
auently been called to articles on last battles OF
the war in The NATIONAL TRIBUNE and
ask small space in your valuable paper for a
few lines, which l think will put to rest the
controversy on that subject hereafter. know
of no less than a dozen battles being fought
after May. 1865. If anyone will doubt this
statement l can show them the official record,
and l don't think they can go behind the re-
turns. Following is list of few of them,
commencing with battle of Palmetto Rancho,
Tex, May IL, 1865; Table Mountain, New,
May 20, 1865; Deer Creek, OAK, May 81, 1865

The Guns at Knob Gan.

To THE EDITOR: have been interested in
the articles in relation as to who captured the
guns at Knob Gap. No doubt all Of the COM
rades honestly believe they are correct in what
they state but all cannot see everything in the
same way, as they are not always in the same
position. What will here say is from official
record. wish to deal in facts only, and have
the documents to back it with. The engage
ment at Knob Gap was four days prior to Stones
River fight. The brigade (Gen. Carlin COM
manding) consisted of the 2lst and 38th Ill.,,
18th Wis., 101st Ohio, and the I'd MINI. bat
terry, and constituted the Second Brigade of
JET c. Davis's Division. In his official report
he Davis says: The enemy retreatcd about
two miles to rugged hill, the road passing
through a defile known as Knob Gap. Deploy-
ing on either side of the road with one section
Of their artillery in the defle, they waited
another encounter. The line advanced in
order of battle, Posts Brigade moving up
the road and to the left of it and Carlins
on the right. The enemy opened upon Car
lin with artillery at long range. Hotchkiss
and Pinney moved up and went into action
quickly, while Carlin charged up the hill with
the 10lst Ohio, carried the crest, and captured
two bronze feldpieces. Post also carried the
nights on the left, driving the enemy out, but
missing the guns. Woodruff performed mis- duty
on the right by driving the rebel skirmshers.
The 10lst Ohio being new regiment, was par
ticularly signalized, the men behaving like
veterans. One of the guns captured by it had
on it the word Shiloh and belonged to Geor-
gia troops"
hope this will settle the matter under dis
cussion, and give the credit to whoever it be-
longs. have no interest either one way or the
other, only giving the facts as / have them

Recapture of De Grasses Battery.

To THE EDITOR: / would like to ask the
Grasse battery if they recolect anything about
the batteries of the Twenty third Corps sta
toned at the Howard House, sending the shot
and shell with deadly effect into the rebel lines
when they rose up and charged for the works
on the outside at the same time that our troops
charged on the inside. / was at the Howard
House, and watched the action through field
glass. Our batteries enfiladed that part of the
works in which the De Grasse battery was posted,
and remember distinctly that the rebel line
charged right up to the works on the outside,
and l watched the effect of the shells as they
exploded among them, not two rods in front OF
the works, which our own troops were holding
on the inside. Therefore l arise to claim lit
tie of the GLORY" for some of the batteries OF
the Twenty third Corps.-S. F. MOORE, Co. II,

To THE EDITOR: In your issue of Sept. 3

dressed in Zouave suits who charged with such
June q, 1862. The regiment was the 5th n. Y.

name. / was an eyewitness to that charge l
am glad Mr.. Mason expresses himself in that
patriotic way. We fought them to the death,
and u want it distinctly understood that the
Yankees did not have to mix gunpowder with
their whisky to fight their opponents even
handed. My Southern friend this is mag.

q terrible thing to have dismembered it. The
gunpowder and whisky story is not true.-O. s.

To THE EDITOR: In reading Comrade VIM

Bentonville, / noticed several mistakes. First
The Second Brigade, Second Division, Four
teeEth Corps, was composed of the 9Sth. 10Sth
18th and 12ist Ohio, and the 3ith and 18th
Ill.--not the 32d H., as stated by him. Second

Morgan. and was in the battle at Bentonville

To THE EDITOR: 1 wish to confirm Capt
Cohern's statement in regard to the John
Browns Body song, "We will hang JEFF Davis
on sour apple tree"
was member of the 9th Me-, and we were
encamped at Fort Ethan Allen during the
months of September and October, 1861, and
the lines alluded to were familiar to all the
boys at that time. The first time l heard them
was when we were encamped at Chain Bridge
a month previous. They were then sung by
"Scotty" Mcfarland, a member of Co. Z. They
were supposed to be the impromptu effort of 8
witty Lieutenant of the same company. l have
been told that they were never written out by
him-A. G. HARRIMAN, Northfeld, Me.

Capt. Dilger's Battery.

To THE EDITOR: In THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE of July 80 ID. II. Chandler, 5th Ind. bat
terry, says Capt. Dilger's battery was not in the
Fourth Corps, but in the Fourteenth Corps.
The comrade is correct, and Editor is correct
in part. Leatherbreeches- we called him,
for we knew him by no other name-was, like
the poor, always with the First Brigade, First
Division, Fourteenth Corps, on the Atlanta
campaign. The battery did excellent service
They were never in the rear, always at the
front, even on the six irmish line, sharpshooting,
as the boys called it. Whenever the enemy was
struck and offered stubborn resistance, the cry
was, where is Leatherbreeches? who was
always near and ready to place his pieces
wherever they could be brought to bear on the
enemy, as at Bald Knob, in front Of Kenesaw
Mountain, Ga, where we assisted the battery
boys pull their pieces to the brow Of the hill,
where they had some fierce artillery practice
at short range. i will submit the above state
ment to Capt. Leatherbreeches and the men,

The First Flag ON Mission Ridge.

To THE EDITOR: In your issue of Aug. 90,
1885, under the head of Reunions" 81. Cofeen
claims that the " flag of the 1st Ohio was the
first that foated on top of Missionary Ridge
He is very much mistaken. The first flag that
foated on top of Missionary Ridge was that OF
the S6th Ind. Capt. Naylor, whose battery
was so situated that he could see the entire
length of the ridge stated positively that our
flag was the first on top. This fact was ac-
knowleged at the time by Gen. Reynolds, and.
in fact, by everyone. Give honor where it be-
longs.-JAs. GREGORY, Captain, Co. c, S6th

at COmrade Seaman's article Of Aug. 90, in

Carlin's article in issue of July 80, bringing
Che says to his mind such vivid recollection:
OF those scenes. Using his own language: In
regard to Bentonville, Carlin never once men
tions the Second Division, Fourteenth Corps
which did as much as his own or Morgan:
troops in that tough, hard-fought battle" Il
Comrade Seaman will refresh his "vivid recol
lections," he will remember that Gen. james

duty as rear guard 1t was the First Brigade,

of cooking parties, in which he did
his full share Of the work, and did it

are aware that before we were mar
ried, and before happy stroke OF for
tune made constant work unnecessary,
I followed the life of detective. It
was then that aGbeautiful young wo-
man came into notoriety by being de-.
tected in several bold attempts at
matchmaking. Her name was Ger.
trude Blake. She eluded the officers
and sailed for Europe, and I after
ward heard that she was operating
with great success on the Continent,
accompanied and aided by an adven-
turer named Sassman. The detect
ives, myself included, were all provid-
ed with pictures of the woman, that
we might have no difficulty IN identi-
flying her if she should return to this
country. When she appeared here
this season, under the name of Mad
anne Frondeau, I was, confident that
she was the person whose picture
carried. I therefore cultivated her
acquaintance. and endeavored 10 gain
her confidence. I finally learned be-
yond q doubt that she was Gertrude
Blake, and that she, was here for the
purpose of practicing her nefarious
schemes, with sSassman as an accom-
plice. I communicated with two Of
my detective friends in New York, that
they might obtain the reward offered
for the arrest of the woman, and then
planned this meeting on the beach in
order 10 avoid a scene But Pansy,

Among the passengers on the mid.
