The game of base ball advertised to take
place at the Paw Paw fair grounds between
of one hundred dollars and the championship
of Van Buren, County, was played Tuesday
of last week, in the presence of a fair sized
crowd of spectators. The Lawtons, the past,
present and future champions OF the county,
were victorious and carried of the honors of
1886, which the Paw Paws SO highly priced.
The day was all that could be asked for, and
both teams were in good trim, each going
into the battle with the determination of
winning. For the first three innings the
score stood two TO one in favor of the Law
tons. who were getting down to business and
at the eighth inning had good lead by a
score of eleven 10 three. In this inning they
allowed Paw Paws 10 make four scores and
the same was repeated in the ninth, which
left the game a tie by score of eleven to
eleven. 1t became exciting now and looked
like anybody's game for a while. The Law
tons were sent TO bat and scored one run,
after which Paw Paw took up the willow ana
commenced to pound wind At this point a
dollar was offered for a score, but it was of
no avail. The first man TO bat struck out
and the next followed suit: the third bunted
the ball to Smith, who fired it to first and the
third man was shut out, which retired the side
with goose egg. The Lawtons were blanked
in four innings and the Paw Paws in six.
The Lawtons, after having won the game by
a good score, came very near losing 1t by the
decisions of the umpire, which were the
rankest ever seen on ball field. They put
ont three men that were called "not out and
were themselves called out twice when any
fair minded person could see that it was not
so. Had il not been for this, the game, not
withstanding some poor playing on the part
of the Lawtons, would not have required the

Of the 22d Ind, quotes Grants Memoirs 10 set
tie the question Of THE first troops on Mission
Ridge" Both Grant aud carleton in their
description Of that battle ignore two divisions
Of the assaulting column, JohnsOn's on the
right and Bard's on the left. No one will
deny that the two center diyisions-Sheridan'
and Nood's-went up the ridge in plain sight
of Bragg's headquarters. We have read in The
NATIONAL TRIBUNE Of how the men of these
two center divisions I" swept around Bragg's
headquarters" Now will quote from Gen
Braggs report Of the battle:
Abo 4 $50 the immense force ia front Of our left
an center advanced, preceded by heavy skirmish-
ers. Our batteries opened witA fine effect and
much confusion was prod iced before they reached
musllet-range. Ina "A short time the roar Of mus
kerry became very heavy, and IL was soon apparent
that the enemy was repused in my immediate
front While riding along the crest congratulate 4
the troops, intelligence reached me that our line
was broken on my right and the enemy had
crowned the ridge
Now, comrades Of Sheridan's and Woods
Divisions, il you got there first Gen. Bragg, it
appears, was not aware Of your presence; aud il
seems that the rebel line was broken so far TO
his right that he did not know il until informed
by a messenger. The enemy were in a position
10 tell exactly where their line was first broken,

An Incident at ChanceIIorrrIIIe.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: While the
boys are talking over the little brush we had
at Charlottesville, would like TO tell little
about what a couple Of regiments were doing
on that Sunday morning after the Eleventh
Corps was driven back Our Corps 1.-THE Fifth
was on the left Of the line near the river and
had built line Of works the night before.
Sunday morning we were double-quicked up
the road ,ill we got 10 the Chancellor House
when We were sent into the woods on the
right Of the road and lay in line of battle till
the advance OF the rebels drove in our skir-
mishers, when we were ordered 10 fall back
behind the line Of guns which were being
formed. Our two rcgments-the l55th and
1880 Pa.-were the last 10 get back behind the
works. just as our rear passed the guns the
line opened with canister and left that open
field literally covered with the dead and
wounded Of Ices army. We were in many a
hot place, but that was about as hot one as We
saw, from Antietam TO Five FOrks.-DAvID

The ReguIars al Jonesboro.

Austin Murphy, Co. IL, LIST battalion, 18th u.
:. Int, Greencastle, Ind, replies with much
warmth TO Comrade Wiseman's charge in
recent article, that the Regular Brigade of the
Fourteenth Corps did not face the music well
at JonesborO. We would be glad 20 print his
communication in full had we not already pub
lishcd several letters covering the same ground.
Speaking of the services of this Regular Bri-
gade, Comrade Murphy says:
defy mortal man 10 cite one instance
where the Regulars were ever whipped, or any
charge they ever made that they did not carry
The works before them. Gen. Rosecrans will
gladly state how the Regulars held the rebel
line IN check at Stone River, under a murder
Gus IRE, for hours, giving him time 10 get his
entire wagon train out of the way Of Wheeler's
cavalry, which had made rear attack on him,

remember Maj. Sibley well, and his tents, as we
used them on all our marches across the plains.
The design of the Sibley tent undoubtedly was
taken from the Indian "tepe." which was
formed of eight or 10 lodge poles placed in a
circular form, stacked together at the top and
covered with Buffalo hides. leaving q hole at
the top for the smoke to escape. But the Sib-
ley tent had only one pole in the center, rest

a chain and hook on which to hang camp ket-

John E. Quinn, First Sergeant, Co. B, 3Oth
| Mass, 20 Rock St., Lowell, Mass, regrets the
reopening of the wound about the colors Of the
18th VT, but says the following is a true state
ment of the matter: The 9Th VT. lost early in
the day most of its field officers. The company
officers were brave men, but with little expert
ence. The men of the regiment were as good
and true as any who ever went to the war.
Now, who will or can state what were the col
Ors claimed 10 have been lost? The 2lst Ind.
did not save the colors Of the 9Th VT; the 2lst
had its hands full during the fight, and very
nobly did IFS part. The coOrs of the 9TH Vt.
were found in tent by men of the 30th Mass,
after the fight was over, and brought to the
State-hOuse. Gen. Butler deprived the 9TH of
its colors, but when he learned the true circum-
stances he restored them to the regiment, which
was then at Pensacola.
ID. A. Gore, Co. b, I'd n. J., says that the
9Th n. Y. did not belong to the Second Jersey
Brigade at Gettysburg neither did that bri-
gade belong to the Second Division. The Sec
Ond Jersey Brigade was composed of the 1st,
I'd, Sd, 4th and 18th M and belonged to the
First Division, Sixth Corps.
Philip j. Ruch. Co. ID, 18th ILL.,, corrects Com
rade David n. Kennedy, s1st ILL.,, and declares
that the 18th Ill. did compete for the Excelsior
banner in the prize drill at Vicksburg Jan. %,
1864. He says /" / was dar," and that ought to
settle il.
A. NJ. Noble, Co. G, 14th Me-, Norway, Ok
ford Co, Me-, agrees with Comrade Bishop 21st
Ind, that the 9TH VT. did lose its colors at
Baton Rouge. Hesays it was misfortune that
might have fallen to the lot of either or even
all of those grand old regiments engaged in that
fight His own regiment, the 18th Me-, lost 127
killed and wounded.
J. S. Alexander, First Sergeant, Co. F. 9th
Ind, Portland Mills, Ind, wishes to
mind Carleton" that at Pleasant Hill,
La, "that noble and brave old man,
Gen. A. J. Smith, commanded, made the dspo-
sitions of the troops, fought the battle and won
the victory, Banks having relinquished the
command to him for that day. Carleton
barely mentions the name of A. j. Smith once
in his article. Why, God bless you, the Thir-
teenth Corps would almost die for A. j. Smith
to-day rather than see him robbed of any of his
well-earned laurels."

Why Col. Morgan Thought the Yankee Cavalrymen
We're Strapped On.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In reference
to the statement Of Col. w. A. Morgan, LIST Va.
(rebel) Cav, that he saw raw Dutchmen
strapped on their saddles by straps buckled
around their bodies and legs and fastened TO
their saddles, ] am Of the opinion that the Colo
mel imbbed some strong applejack before writ
ing that article. But il is Just as sensible as
much of the writing of the Southern soldiers.
j had the honor 10 belong 10 the cavalry. /
served from September, 1862. TO May, 1865 in
Co. ID, 10th Pa. Cav, and never heard such
thing even limited at i know how the Colo
mel feels about it. He was unable TO get them
out of their saddles, SO he thought they must
have been strapped on. His promotion from
infantry TO cavalry is also a false statement,
with Just as little sense as the one that he with
only l30 men captured full battery at Get
tyshurg, whipped several squadrons of Yankee
cavalry, and then trotted of without any
hurry.
AT this late day it would be useless TO talk
such stuff TO the American people, because au-
thentic history has said otherwise and every
old soldier knows better. The Confederate
soldiers were brave and reckless; against their
yalor i have nothing TO say. But the boys in
blue were their peers in bravery and devotion
and their equal in any emergency. Therefore
j stamp the unmanly statements of COL Morgan
as malici0usly false, in attempting 10 misead
