CONDENSED LETTERS.

James III. Golf, Co. G., 129th ILL.,, Pontiac, H.,
thinks Carleton" was not altogether right in
his description of the battle of Resaca. He
claims for his brigade, composed of the 10th
Ind, 18th, l02d, l05th aud 10th ILL.,, the
capture of the four-gun battery referred 10 by
Carleton" He says this has been claimed by
others, but he wants 10 distinctly understood
that il was done by his brigade
Geo. w. Palmer, Co. +, 44th Ind, Hicksville,
O., sends brief sketch of the services Of his
regiment. He says that while in Kentucky
the boys had some friction with their Chaplain,
who tried to stop card playing. and one morn
ing he found in front of his tent an efligy in
the shape of a straw man on a wooden horse
Dennis Murphy, 10th Ohio, Apollo, Pa, al
ludes briefly TO the battle of PerryvilIe, where
his regiment was IN the brigade commanded
by Gen. VIM. IL. Lyle, who afterward fell at
Chckamauga.
1. NJ. Adair. Sergeant Major, Seth Ind, Salem,
Ore, writes that although he does not wish to
reopen the debate on the Mission Ridge ques-
ton. he still insists that he was right in the
position taken in his communication published
in The NATIONAL TRIBUNE some time ago.
He reasserts the claim he then made, and says
il can be fully established by abundant proof.
Geo. T. Stickney, Co. q, Sth Wis, Dunkirk,
n. Y, wonders how many of the old comrades
saw so much during battle. He says that he
generally had about all he could attend to
looking out for himself
Geo. w. Hines, Go. G, 9Sth Ohio, Deersville,
o., referring to the battle of JOnesbOro, says
that the volunteers are willing TO give the
Regulars full credit for all they did, but moth

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / have read
the criticisms from time TO time published in
reply TO my article, in which ] attempted de-
scrptiOn OF the battle Of JonesborO the most
scathing OF which is from the pen of Comrade
Peter Meagher. l never intended 10 reflect
discredt on the 18th n. Y, aud was greatly
surprised that my language should be SO con-
strued. believed then, rs do now. that the
18th n. Y. was one of the bravest regiments in
the field. Mark the language IN the sentence
which i shall quote: THE 18th n. Y. was fall
ing back in confusion, after a desperate assault
on the breastworks in which their loss was
fearful"
Now, / would ask any thinking man if there
are not recorded hundreds OF instances where
gallant soldiers have fallen back under the same
circumstances. Aapoleou's fayOrite veterans,
the Imperial Guard, fell haik in confusion be-
fore the murder0us musketry fire opened upon
them by NellinEton's soldiers AZ Waterloo
Capt. Q. II. Pea ;e. in a recent article in THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE, admitted that AT one time
during the battle the regiment fell back in con-
fusion" stayed not on the order Of our getting,
but got at once" lie being in command Of a
company, IL is evident that his opportunities Of
Judging Of such matters were much better than
musicians who it is well known, does not
bear arms at all. In the article Col. Grower
was referred 10 ne a hero Of the finest type.
The surviving members OF the Zouave regi-
ment should certainly be satisfied with such a
eulogium. As 10 the inspiration that the 23d
Mo. was composed Of coffee coolers" and
gum chewers," ! would merely say that the
history Of the regiment dating from the blood
stained field Of Shiloh 10 the grim walls of At
lanta, and later when il followed Sherman's
banners on his famous march TO the sea, stands
as a monument 70 its bravery, and is sufficient
TO autacOuize all such epithets.-CHAs. VAN

A Tribute to Noble Woman.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: We read every
week i'm your paper OF the brave aud manly
deeds Of our veterans. There were others who
did not shoulder the musket or 20 into battle
but their actions were such that their memory
should be kept alive in the hearts of every true
soldier. j allude TO the noble women who
served under Mrs. ID. l.. Dix in the hospitals
caring for those OF us who were compelled to
rest occasionally from the labors of the camp
and field.
One Of these who, from her kindly nature
since have known her, must have reached the
hearts Of all those who had the happiness of
being cared for by her-Alrs. Catherine Como
ver-obeyed the Great Commanders call on
Oct. g. at the age Of 80. She was appointed a
nurse by Mrs. Dix May 0, 1864, and was assipn-
ed 10 one Of the hospitals in Washington. She
served there for some time and was then as
signed t0.duty at Chester Pa Hospital. where
she continued until after the close of the war.
Her only son was prisoner of war. As many
Others dad, she left pleasant home TO care for
the sick and disabled. She was truly a soldiers
mother, aud, Spartan like was not only willing
10 sacrifice her all upon her country's altar but
loved IL much that she could not remain
away when help was needed. She was a true
patriot In her later life nothing pleased her
more than the remembrance of the fact that
she had done her share in helping 10 establish
the unity of the States May we ever cherish
the memory of these noble women who aided 80
much in the struggle by cheering onward their
boys, and were ever ready TO comfort the
wounded and sick with pleasant words and
tender hands.-JAMEs b. WILDE, Co. ID. 18th
