A Misreprpsented Case.

To THE EDITOR: / notice in recent issue
of your paper statement from z. II. Coney in
Condensed Letters concerning an old soldier in
our County poorhouse. 1t seems some one is at
fault. A man at Marion Center, Kan, writes a
pitiful story of this old veteran, and it was
published in Topeka papers, and so scattered
around considerably, greatly to the annoyance
of the old veteran, the authorities of the Home,
and our GAR Post. As soon as l got wind
of what was up 1 appointed a committee from
our Post to wait on the old veteran and learn
the facts, and they found him perfectly con-
tented and in the possession of pleasant home.
Mr.. McAlpin told me he would rather sleep in
haystack than go to a Soldiers Home; also,
he would not leave the Home Tor poorhouSe, as
it is caled,) unless tied or until he was carried
out feet foremost. Now, you see the ptiful
story of poor old soldier residing in poor
house is correct as far as the living there is
concerned but when a man has more comforts,
or as many as most of our citizens have,
and don't desire change, and will not consent
to change, you see how great an insult is
heaped on our County, and especially ON our
brave sodiery. All ask for our Post or Order
is justice to ourselves and to our brave old COM
rade, Daniel McAlpin. Our Post would not al
low an old comrade to be a charge on the Coun-
ty, but would send him to Soldiers Home
but facts alter cases, and Daniel McAlpin wants
to stay where he is, and if he needs anything
Kit Carson Post. No. 20 will see that he gets it.

Commitments 10 the West.

To THE EDITOR: l see Comrade Goss, Co. A.
9TH Mass, writes in defense of the Army OF
the Potomac, and somewhat criticizes our West
ern boys | am constant reader of The Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE and like to read what the
boys have to say, whether it is who captured
De Gresss battery or who first entered Co
lumbia. The bOyS in the Army Of the Poto-
mac need to be stirred up to tell US some of the
things they did. / would like some of the
participants to tell us the name of the little
Captain of Berdans Sharpshooters, who ran
out TO the rebel line of battle in front of Shir-
fey's house and captured that big Johnny who
had the skillet strapped on the back of his
knapsack, during the second day at Gettysburg?
Also, how did those men get out of Shirley
cellar that evening, and what time was it
in the day when Shirfey's barn was burnt
Who was it that took Gems Johnston and
Stewart prisoners at SpOttsylvania, Va, May
12, 1868; and how was it done? Who got the
horses over the breastworks and the three can
non at the same battle? Who can tell what
time of day it was when the tree fell 10 inches
through that was shot off by mimic balls dur
ing the engagement at the breastwork, May IL.
1868?
If some of our comrades will write up a full
account of the occurrences that l have emu
merated, no doubt we can convince the boys OF
the West that we have heard a cannon fired ;
and who knows but we may yet outrival De
Gress's battery fame ?-SAM'L DUNHAM, Co.

One Regiment that Slung No Gore.

To THE EDITOR: Now, why don't some OF
the boys who were with regiments that never
had fair, pitched battle with the onfederates
throughout the war, say something? Now /
have no desire TO say anything that would
detract from the glory OF any regiment, and
more especially the one in which | was a high
private for three years and IL months But |
can say, truly, the 10th III. was one of the
regiments that can boast of never having a
fair, square, stand-up-and- shoot fight, rs regi.
ment, for two hours during the entire war; with
the exception of one day in the Corinth cam
paign 1862, and from Aug. &c, "a to Feb. l, 65,
while suffering from gunshot wound received
on skirmish-line, 1 was constantly with the regi-
ment, and know whereof i speak The 10th
ILL., was the right of Gen. Pope's army in 1862
from New Madrid, Mo-, to Corinth, Miss. it
passed the Winter Of 1923 at and near Nash
vile, Tenn. also the Summer of 1868. until late
in the season, when We moved to fosterville,
Tenn; thence on roundabout tour to Bridge
port, Ala, where the regiment was when the
battle of Chickamauga was fought. We then
did duty at different places until the battle of
Chattanooga, where we were in reserve all day.
In 1864 this regiment formed part of Sherman S
army clear TO Atlanta, and afterwards through
Georgia TO the sea, and to the surrender of
Johnston at Raleigh, \. &. No regiment in the
service ever marched farther or faster to get into
a fight, or longer. But for some reason I'M
known we were always on the part of the line
not IN action or IN reserve, or skipping about
after somebody we could never find, and thus
on to the 18th of July, 1865 when we were
mustered out. So?-C. G., Co. B, 10th H.,

The Fifth COrps at Antietam.

To THE EDITOR: In your issue of Dec. is
published a paper read by Comrade Arthur
Hendricks, of the 5th N. Y. at meeting of
Burnside Post, No. 8, Washington, D.. c., in
which are some errors l wish to correct in all
kindness to Comrade I'll. Comrade H. sayg:
During the fight at Antietam we remained in

pike that crossed the stone bridge over Ante

while the conflict was going on. The ridge be-
fore us was crowned with artillery actively en-
gagged, the enemys shells frequently passing
over our heads with their horrid noise making

Thomas's Corps at Mission Ridge.

To THE EDITOR: l do not ask place in
your columns to protest against Carleton "
ignoring Baird's Division in his account of the
charge on Mission Ridge, for the Blue Acorn ~
boys have become accustomed to this sort of
thing from certain historians But l do pro-
test against such history as Carleton gives
in THE TRIBUNE of Dec. 3. After describing
the position of the divisions of Thomas's Corps,
who have been waiting all day" He says
:" The time has come to let them loose. The
order is issued. An hour passes but the troops
do not move, and Grant is surprised, upon turn
ing round, to see Wood standing almost by his
side"
Why have you not charged, sir?"

OF course, Bairds Division was not there.
am aware that Carleton" got this bit of
history from Grants article, published in the
November Century Magazine Can it be possible
that Grant at the time he wrote the article re-
ferred to had forgotten that the signal for the
charge was six successive cannon shots fired
from Fort Wood? We of Turchin's Brigade
were instructed concerning that signal almost
an hour before it came Comrades of the grand
old Army of the Cumberland who read THE
TRIBUNE, am l correct2 To leave this matter
as Carleton" gives it is to leave shadow upon

George III. Thomas, the noblest Roman of them

BayGnets and Sabers.

To THE EDITOR; disagree with some of
the comrades who say that the bayonet and
saber are useless. l was cavalryman for four
years, and never drew blood but once with my
saber. That was in prodding mule that
wanted to go any way but ahead, and with his
heels created as much CONSERVATION and COM
motion as a shell But l believe the bayonet
and saber are very necessary to a disciplined
army. My regiment made several charges with
the saber and invariably the enemy gave way.
l cannot now remember of ever seeing rebel
cavalryman with saber and was taken once
by Forests men. They could not stand the
rush of the saber. ! talked with member of
an Illinois cavalry regiment which went Oh a
foraging expedition, and left its sabers in camp,
were surrounded by superior force of the
enemy and captured. He said if they had had
their sabers they would have cut their way out.
A Russian General once said to his men ::
Boys, the gun will miss fire, but the bayonet
never!" l should like to hear what Gems.

and wounded than any regiment that went into
service in the Union. having lost 1913 men in
battle and $40 from wounds out of 993 original
members.
During its most illustrious career only five
men were taken prisoners, and they were Sc
badly wounded that they could not be taken
from the field. Gov. BrOugh said of this regi-
ment, that its record was among the most bril-
liant made in the war. Upon every field they
have fought, and in every contest in which
they engaged the 9Th showed remarkable

ANOTHER WITNESS.
He Wonders Why They We're Punished.

To THE EDITOR: Some time in the Fall or
Winter of 1864 there was a squad of cavalry
sent out from Memphis on a scouting eXpedi-
ton in charge of the Colonel of the 4th Mo- Cav,
Il forget his name, and while at Jackson, Tenn,
there was detail made to go after forage for
ourselves and horses. We reported to head
quarters mounted, and were put in charge of a
First Lieutenant by the name of Black and Sec
ond Lieut.. Platt, both of the 9TH Ind. Cav, and
instructed that the place where we were going
had been rebel headquarters and that we
could help ourselves to whatever we wanted for
ourselves and horses We arrived at the place
designated, dismounted and hitched our horses
and fell in line, and was marched ION FOOT into
the spacious hall of the large farmhouse and
broke ranks there. Some fell to pundering
the house for valuables, others for something
to eat for themselves, while others went to the
outbuildings for feed for their horses. / had
my blanket full of corn in the husk and was
just making my way to my horse when l saw
the whole premises were surrounded by the 4th
Mo. Cav. and their Colonel coming toward me
with his sword drawn and in a terrible rage.
He made me put my bundle down and undo it
and empty ii out that he might see what was in
it. All the other boys were served in the same
way. But even that didn't satisfy his highness !;
SO our pockets were searched and every cent
that could be found about us and all the post
age-stamps found were taken from us. had
S3 III money In nay pocket-book. which l took
out and slipped in my boot and they didn't
get it. We were all placed under arrest and
were confined in a large brick building that
night. This was the only time l was under
arrest all the while was in the service. and
can't forget how mortified felt over it. The
next morning we were released, with orders
to return if called for, but they didn't call for
us. The next pay day $3.50 was deduct
ed from the pay of every man who had been
on that foraging party.
j do not see the justice of this proceeding
after we were given liberty to do what we
pleased.-W. II. SMITH, Go. Z, 18th Ind. Cav,
Niles, Mich.
