To THE EDITOR: The vertical rays of Mid

ninth of channels on the dust-c0Yered faces Of
a score Of jaded knights of the rein and spur,
who were accommodating in the vicinity OF
Appomattox Creek, Va. Warily entering a
short woodland stretch Of the road. and assured
that sally Of bushwhackers was not forthcom-

an Introductory yell, charged into the field and
drove the panie-stricken rebels out over the

over 10 brief rejuvenescence OF by-gone festal

The CoIors Of The Poi OHIO.

To THE EDITOR; In your issue of the Sd
inst. you have a rather romantic story of the
finding of the regimental colors of the 22d
Ohio ON the battlefield of the first Bull Run.
When that battle was fought the 22d Ohio was
a three-mOnths regiment under the first call,
and was in West Virginia. The regiment was
mustered out at Athens, o., in August, 1861,
and to my certain knowledge had at that time
all its flags. No part of the regiment was at
the time of the battle any nearer the occur
renee than Clarksburg, w. Va.--LOwELL H.

To THE EDITOR: In The NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE of June 10, under Reunions, l find that
the 29th n. Y. had Reunion at Philadelphia
and further, that they participated in the battle
of Cedar Mountain. Rebellion Records, vol.
II, part 2, page $50. places them in First Bril-
gade, Second Division, Sigels Corps, and it
seems to me that they must have participated
in that fight at distance, as they e., SigePs
men-did not get to the battlefield till long
after the fight was over. If some member of
that regiment will state what part they took in
the battle Of Cedar Mountain, would like to
see it. If my memory serves me correctly, the
18th n. Y. was two years regiment, and was
mustered out in May 1868; hence, could not
have been engaged at Gettysburg and Mission

on the evening Of the 18TH The vibra.

Several minutes before the shock dull
rumbling was heard, resembling very

at 7;20 p. NJ. the shock was felt. 1t
lasted about So seconds and was quite
heavy, causing the houses to rock back

San Francisco Chronicle says one of the
side suits in New York which resulted
from the failure Of Grant & Ward has
brought out more Of the peculiar business
methods Of Ferdinand Ward. 1t has
been discovered by the expert who ex.
amined Wards books that the young Ma.
poleon of Wall street was in the habit Of
entering various amounts on the books
Of the firm as his own contributions to
working capital, whereas there is no rec
ord that the securities and currency were
ever deposited by him. But the most
amazing bit OF pretcnse of which Ward
was guilty was in placing the $4,000
which General Grant put into the firm to
his own individual account. Such reve.
lations as these show the full measure OF
incompetence on the part Of Grants sons,
who at any time could have discovered
such fraud as this by an inspection of
Wards books. 1t is difficult to saw
which was the most criminal their
boundless credualty Or Wards rascality.
