sIbley and Ills Tent.

To THE EDITOR: Ny attention was recently
attracted by an article in your columns stating
that ex-rebel Gen. Sibley was prosecuting a
claim against the Government for a large sum
for the use of his patent tent. AT the time
sibley obtained patent on his tent during
the Summer of 1857 he was Major in the I'd
Dragons, u. S. Army. At that time / was a
private soldier in the LIST Cav Col +. V. Sum
ner's regiment. In the Spring OF 1858 We were
sent 10 Utah on the Mormon expedition. This
was commanded by Brevet Brg.-Gen. Albert
Sidney Johnston. During the Spring and Sum
mer Of 1858 i was in the same command as
Maj. Sibley, and as the new Sibley tents were
then being introduced in the army, they at
tracted good deal of attention. 1t was freely
said in the command that Mai Sibley was not
the inventor Of the tent, but had stolen the in
vention from private soldier OF his regiment,
in this way:
The soldier, not knowing how TO get nat
ent on his invention, took Maj. Sibley into his
confidence in order 10 get his assistance in pro-
curing patent. Sibley then went 10 Wash
ingtOn, got the tent patented in his own name
and the soldier got nothing. This was cur
renty reported and believed in the command.
and never heard il contradicted. The private
soldier was frequently pointed out at Fort
Bridger as the real inventor OF the new Siblay
tent, but don't remember his name. There
may be some other old soldiers who read your
paper who will remember this matter.-R. NJ.

TRIBUNE reader for several years, and have
read with much interest all that relates to the
late rebellion, especially Cartoons" Saving
the Nation" but think he is a little off in re-
gard 10 his account Of the battle of Sabine
Crossroads. He says tho troops on the left
were the nth H., 18th Ky, 4Sth, SD and 95th
Ohio. Now, il i forget not, the 25th Iowa had
a little to say in that racket If we were not
the extreme left ] would like To know what
regiment was. and if l mistake not our brave
Col. John Mcconnell lost his arm and was taken
prisoner in that fight Several of our boys also
partOok Of the rebels hospitality at Camp Ford
Tyler Tex. Now, if we had not been there
how could such things have happened?
The 2Sth Iowa marched every step Of the way
from Brashear City to the battlefield. and had
hand in all that occurred, except Pleasant
Hill. If Carleton" denies this / will mail
him n copy of our Colonel's report of the part
our regiment took in the fight which will re-
fresh his memory. / also know that Gen.
Franklin was on the field examining the situa-
tion before any retreat or panic took place, as
he rode along in rear of our regiment while it
was lying in line Of battle in the open field.
hope Carleton" will give us the credit we de-
serve. / ask nothing more. / wish some of
our boys would speak out and tell what we
were doing that day. Come Col. Mcconnell,

were, and also what the rebels told you we did

An Incident Of the Wilderness.

To TIE EDITOR: On the 9Th Of May, 1864,
in the first days fight of the Wilderness, our
division Of the Fifth Corps moved 10 attack the
enemy about o'clock p. m. We soon found
aud drove them, as / thought, nearly mile.
Then, unknown TO myself, our division was re-
called, leaving myself and a few others on the
front line We were soon nearly surrounded
by the returning rebels, but we had the ad-
20 dodge and elude them.
While endeavoring TO make my escape / ran
across Col. Joseph Hays, of the 18th Mass, who
was badly wounded in the head. The blood
was streaming down his face. He told me he
did not hope TO escape, and he asked me to
throw away my gun and equipments so as 10
Tighten my load and take his sword aud re-
volyer and try and get away with them, as he
valued them very highly, they having been
presented TO him by friends at home and he
did not wish them 10 fall into the hands of the
enemy. i took the sword and revolver as he
requested and proceeded in the direction OF
our lines. i did not 20 more than hundred
yards when i sank down at the foot of a tree

The Evacuation OF Charleston, 6. C., and the First
20 Enter the City.


To THE EDITOR: / notice in THE TRIBUNE
Of Aug. 10 letter from Comrade Taylor, of Co.
A, SGD Pa, giving an account Of the first to
enter Charleston, s. C. He saw it one way and
j saw il another. Mine may not correspond
with his in every feature, but do not wish 10
create any hard feelings in differing with him.
AZ the time Co. NJ, Sd r. /. ii. A., was stationed
in Fort Wagner, Morris Island, and the officers
in command knew what the rebels would have
TO do when Sherman got in the rear Of Charles
ton. At that time there was quite an army
of rebs on Sullivan's Island. A bridge con-
nected the island with the mainland. Every
gun in the fort was brought TO bear on the
bridge, and we kept continual fire all night
long to stop the transportation of troops and
provisions.
The first explosion was the magazine at Fort
Moultrie, the next was the two rebel rams
near the city, and the next of consequence
was the Northeastern Depot. In the latter
were some provisions and ammunition, and
great many negro women and children, who
were there for something 10 eat. by some
means fire got 10 the powder, and the conse-
quence was great many were killed and
wounded. - That was the cause Of all the firein
the city, and the negroes with engines, soon
stopped that. j do not remember seeing any
shipping in the harbor at that time but two
steamers, and one Of them a blockade runner
that had just got in day OF two before.
In regard 10 the first TO land in the city, two
boats crews started from Cummings Point at
the same time, Lieut.. Clark in command Of one
of them, with Is men. Both boats landed
about the same time. If there was any differ
ence, Clark was in the lead. They landed near
the battery and marched into the heart of the
city, meeting but one white man. He had an
armful of bottled brandy, and we charged on
him and he surrendered and treated.
COmrade Taylor attaches good deal of honor
TO tho man that planted the Stars and Stripes
on the CustOm-house. At that time the build
ing was not half completed Ii was laid out
for grand structure, just before the war, and
when the war began the workmen left it as it
was. The whole city of Charleston was badly
demomlized, and fire made il a total wreck

A Regular Gives His Version q

A Regular Gives His Version Of the Surrender.
To THE EDITOR: have been a reader of
your valuable paper for almost three years
past, and have noticed that when a cOmrade
gives his version of any battle or exploit he or
his comrado had a hand in, some eomrade rises
up and tells him that ne is mistaken. get up
10 contradict cOmrade of the 29th KY. who
pretends 10 give an account of the surrender of
Munfordyille KY, under Col. J. Il. Wilder.
In the first place he says the surrender oc-
CURED Sept. 3, 1868; secondly, that the number
surrendered was 1900. The first fight occurred
on the 18th of September, 1862 Sunday, in
which VIC repulsed three desperate charges by
the rebels, so that they fell back for several
miles-at least that is what the cavalry report
cd. On the 18th all WAS quiet, but OH the 18th.
early in the morning, the Johnnies returned in
full force. We skirmished with them all day,
with but little damage on our side at least.
About shutdown Bragg sent in a flag of truce
demanding surrender, stating that he had US
surrounded and his artillery planted SO that
he could kill all within the Notifications and
bury them without lifting shovel. / give it
as i heard IL at the time Bragg appeared to
take the principal officers through his lines
and show them his preparations. Col. Wilder,
commanding the post, Col Durham, of the 50th
Ind, his Adjutant, and l think Lieut.. Mason,
commanding the 18th Ind. battery, were the
officers who went with the COnfederates, and
at o'clock a. IN. of Sept 20 the conditions of
surrender were drawn up and signed. BY 3
o'clock we heard the news. The conditions
were that we were to turn over all Government
property in our hands, private property to be
respected; we to be paroled inside of 10 days,
TO have three days ratiOns issued to us, and
the bridge across the river was not TO be de-
stroyed.
This is list Of troops captured 50th, Goth
and 6Sth Ind, detachment of the 18th Ind,

our arms, were reviewed by the rebel generals
and paroled the same day. At daylight the

McCook,s Cnrns At PerrrrilIs.

To THE EDITOR: / fully agree with the
statement made by Comrade A. ID. Basore, Co.
c, 44th ILL.,, and which appeared in your issue
of Sept. 9. The ID Mo-, OF which / was a men,
Der Go. e., belonged to Laibold's Brigade
Sheridans Division, and was on picket duty
during the night of Oct. z, 1862 about one
mile from the so-called big spring. Early in
the mOsning of Oct. 8, about o'clock, the 2d
Mich. Cav, dismOuhted, was hard pressed by
the rebel skIrmishers. Gen. Phil. Sheridan
was there on the spot, and felt somewhat I'M
easy about this, when Capt. Hoppe. brave
young officer and Acting Major of the ID No.,
and then in charge OF the regiment, offered the
services of the 2d Mo. to Gen. Sheridan to
drive the rebel skirmishers back, to which the
General responded:
=" If you can do il, do So"
The I'd Mo-, being drilled with the bugle
made quick and sudden charge on the rebel
skirmish-line and drove them 20 the next hill
Capt. Hoppe was killed, and my brother, Capt
Theo. TTauernicht, took charge of the regi-
ment. The 44th I'LL. and 18th Mo. came i'm
mediately to our assistance. On this spot
lost my right leg. and one of my comrades
brought me water from the big spring between
and o'clock in the morning. Our regiment
lost about 10 men in 10 minutes, of which %
were killed. What happened afterward can
not say, as was carried back and my leg was
mputated.-HENRY TRAUEENICHr, Nashville,
