His Tongue Was All Right.

We had enlisted the August previously at Fort

ling, pitching horseshoes, ETC., and once in a
while knockdown. One Of the boys by the
name Of }. +. Benfore had been wrestling and
jumping, and had sprained his ankle SO he
couldn't walk very much. We got an order to
break camp and march near Nashville, where
we went into Camp Andrew johnson. When
we were ready to march all the companies
were ordered to fall in, but Benfore, of course,
was not able to walk, and had to have a pass
from the regimental doctor; and, coming ur
hurriedly, the doctor, Mr.. Teal, says, Le1ne

with the rest of us and kept his temper. When

An Eloquent Lecturer.

A well-known Temperance worker and Bible
reader, Mrs NJ. Gator, of Camden, New Jersey,
has been raised almost from the grave, and re-
stored to good health, by the use of Compound
Oxygen. In giving reporter of the press an
account Of her recovery. she spoke of number
OF cures by means of this treatment which had
come under her immediate notice. We give
one of the cases mentioned:
Let me tell yOu," said Mrs. Gator, "that
what Compound Oxygen has done for me is
nothing TO what it has done for some of my
friends. There is Miss Frances E. Willard,
who IS everywhere known as one of the most
eloquent of our Temperance speakers. The
other day had letter from Iowa, in which
she thanked me for having brought Compound
Oxygen TO her notice. She had been badly run
d0wn by oUerwOrk, constant speaking and trGret.

Other cases, even more remarkable, which
had come TO her knowledge were described by

MISSOURI GUERRILLAS.
Their Horrible Work at Centrslia. Mo.

To THE EDITOR On the 9th day of Sep
tember 1864, the west-bound passenger train
On the North Missouri Road was captured at
Centralia, Mo-, small way-station on the
prairie, by band of guerrllas, numbering rs
men, under the notorious Bill Anderson.
Twenty-six Federal soldiers who were on the
train were taken from it and murdered in cold
blood. Among them were three wounded offi-
GERS from Shermans army. When the train
drew up at Centralia it was surrounded by the
guerrillas and the soldiers, who were mostly
furloughed men and without arms, were in
duced to surrender and after getting out of
the cars they were formed into line and shot
down. Bill Anderson gave the command
Right - dress! I'll send you to in a
straight linet"
Seven of these soldiers belonged to my regi-
ment, the 1st Iowa Cav, viz: Owen p. Cover
Co. A; Geo. w. Daley, b Oscar p Williams
B; Chas. Z. MADEIRA, C.; John Russell, c; JOS
III. Arnold, l.; Chas. g. Carpenter, K. Charley
Carpenter served in the same company with me,
and was a warm friend of mine As soon as
the news came to Mexico, where the command
was stationed to which he belonged, all the
men who were available boarded train and
hurried down to the scene of the massacre.
Lieut. Walter NJ Carpenter, a brother to Charley
Carpenter, was among the number. Lieut..
Carpenter, in describing the scene to me after
wards, said that when they arrived at Contra
j
rebels had left them. The bodies had been piled
in heap with straw thrown over them and
then burned, and the clothing which had not
been stripped off them before was burned off,
the charred bodies of the poor fellows pre-
senting a sickening sight Lieut.. Carpenter
found the body of his brother in the heap
among the slain, with the clothing burned from
it, and with IL bullet holes in the body, and
one of his little fingers had also been cut to re-
move gold ring which had been given him
by young lady before leaving home.
After this murderous work of Anderson and
his gang, they returned to their camp about
three miles distant from Centralia, where was
assembled other bands, numbering in all about
$50 men under Geo. Todd Dave Pool, Tom
Todd, 81 Gordon, all experienced and noted
leaders Tom Todd was q Baptist Minister.
Maj. Johnson, of the Both Mo-, who was on the
trail of them with 147 men, attacked the guer-
rillas in the afternoon after the massacre at
Ccntralia; they ambushed his command, and
Maj. Johnson and 1913 of his men were killed.
The notorious Frank James was known to be
in Bill Andersons company at these massacres.

South Mountain and ,Antietam.

To THE EDITOR: / notice in THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE of Dec. 81 letter from Comrade J. f.
Walton in relation to the battles of South Noun
tain and Antietam, ia which he makes some
statements which do not correspond with my
recolections. 1t has been more than % years
since those engagements, and if one relies
wholly on his memory it is not surprising
there should be difference of opinion at the
present time So | will not write from my
recollections of the parts would take excep-
tions to, but from the history of my regiment,
written by Gen. Walcott, Captain, Co. b, 21st
Mass. Comrade Walton says, speaking of the
Both Ohio to which. regiment he belonged ::
ave were ordered to, wade across the Antie-
tam, short distance below the stone bridge
known to subsequent history as Burnside
bridge, which was promptly executed before
the rebels tumbled to our little racket and we
thereby got the bridge to keep. 1t had been
taken and lost several times prior to this charge
and countercharge."
Now then, according to his statement, you
old boys of Renos old Brigade, how does that
coincide with your recollection? Walcott says
in his history land he does not write from rec
elections but from facts): "Durell's battery
was posted on neighboring hill to aid in cover
ing an assault by Crook S Brigade of our Fourth
Division, and we at once took position in rear of
the battery Jour brigade). The first attack by
Crooks Brigade had been repulsed with heavy
loSs and subsequently succession OF gallant
assaults had been made in vain by the I'd Md.
and 9th N. H.'
So it appears the first assaults resulted in
failures, which is as l recollect He says
further: The colors of the two 5lsts IN. Y. and
Pa, side by side, and hundred yards nearer
the bridge than ours, ard the three regiments
with fierce shout crowded towards the mar
row bridge but before the colors of the two
51sts had touched the long disputed bridge the
panc-stricken rebels left their cover and fled.
The bridge was won at last, and the veterans
of Renos old Brigade are entitled unquestion-
ably to the honor of its capture. 1t was
o'clock when all the infantry of the Sixth Corps
was arrayed upon the rebel side of the Antie-
tam and began a further advance upon the
enemy. Then the First Division (under Gen.
Wilcox, supported by Crooks Brigade of the
Fourth Division, pressed forward on the Sharps-
burg road and gained the outskirts of the
town, while the Third Division (under Gen.
Rodman) handsomely carried the nights to the
left of the town, but their triumphant advance
at last ended in check and bloody repulse."
That is the part the Ninth Corps took in re-
lation to the capture of the bridge.-WM. A.

Is 1t a Breach of Contract!

To THE EDITOR: Now, in giving the old
veterans this table of wages received and the
promise to pay in lawful money of the Govern
ment-which was gold, not deprecated cur
rency that the soldier did receive-at the low
estimate of $I3 per month for three years and
four months, (this low estimate taking the
price of gold and wages in 1854 do not mean
to be kicker" but think this Government
did the best it could under the circumstances
but the kick is just here: When bill comes
up before Congress for the soldiers you will hear
those pet names given to the old soldiers of the
rebellion, Government frauds" "Leeches in
the Treasury; haven't we paid them all we
promised them, and more" Echo answers
" No, no." Look and see for yourself:

Farewell, Army of the Potomac.


To THE EDITOR: / am sad OH so sad. Do
you ask why am bowed down with grief?
will tell you. 1t will not take long, and it may
do me good.
For years / have nursed the fond delusion
that the Army Of the Potomac was all wool
and yard wide," but like a flash of lightning
out Of a cloudess sky, Comrade Browns letter
in THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE of February 18th
blot5 out the tender memories of the past. At
first my meek and quiet spirt-the pearl of
humility-was aroused, to think that l had
served four years in an army that didn't
amount to shucks; but those who served in the
West, and triumphantly planted their standards
upon every State-house, hillock and wart from
Maine to Texas tell us it is but too true and that
settles it. They are alike deaf to logic, rhetoric,
metaphor or popycock. When the horrible
truth first burst upon my mind. l am not
ashamed to say / wept, and now l am being
of different hopes and aims.
The Army Of the Potomac was the victim of
flood and mud; its rank and file tasted ON po-
liticO- pudding and copperhead sauce, while
the Army of the West marched proudly on to
victory and subsisted upon the silent remains
of the lamented hen.
Farewell, Army of the Potomac You must
take back seat. You can no longer occupy
the cosest corner in Abraham's bosom. Com
rades who served in the West are trying to
settle amongst themselves certain minor hon
ors," and you must be silent. When your
members arrive before the Beautiful Gates"
they must step aside whilst those who never
knew defeat pass in. On the cracker-bo cover
that stands at the head of your lonely sepul-
cher we will trace, with trembling hand, these
words: Man may win the affections of the
lion, the tiger the fragrant polecat, but
jealous mind is not susceptible of atfection"-

The Regiment That Rescued the Il. l. Battery al
Antietam.

To THE EDITOR: Your issue of Jan. 81 con-
tanned an inquiry from S. w. Aldrich Hiawatha,
Kan, concerning a regiment that gallantly
rescued the r. /. battery, of which he was a
member, at Antietam. At the annual Reunion
of the d" Iron Brigade" at Lacrosse, Wis, Sept.
IA, 1888, Capt. Lloyd G. Harris, of the 9th Wis,
delivered an address on Gen. John A. Kellogg,
who had died since their last Reunion. The
following is an extract and throws some light
on the subject that Comrade Aldrich men ntions:
OF all his varied exploits the one which made the
most lasting impression on those who witnessed it
his rallying the stragglers to the support of
Eastern battery during the battle of Antietam.
If the memory slumbers-for it is over 20 years
ago-it needs only few facts to recall how the
Iron Brigade had fought with success from early
dawn until at last, when the loss of some of the
regiments had reached the appalling figure of 62
per cent, their ammunition nearly expended, it
was then that Summers Corps (the men who after
South Mountain generously cheered the Iron Bri
gade for conspicuous bravery at that battle, and
with their sver-hared General remained uncov-
cred as the heroes marched past came to their re-
lief, but just in time to meet the legion under
Stonewail Jackson, who forced them back, and
again the weary remnant of the old brigade, rally
ing around the coiors that had trailed in the
dust, formed line of battle to check the enemy,
who at that time was gaining great advantage.
No fear, no faltering shown by the gallant
band who stood in the beautiful woods, rudely
disturbed on that bright Autumn day. They were
there to stay, and never moved an inch until new
troops caiue hurrying TO the front and relieved
them.
At the most critical moment, when that part of
the field seemed most endangered. the enemy
concentrated their efforts in daring charge to
capture r. l. battery just at the right of the old
brigade The gunners were doing their best, but
had no infantry support, and its capture seemed in
evitable, when officer of the 9th Wis, with
sword drawn, dashed in among the hundreds of
stragglcrs, who had given up the day as lost and
We're hurrying to the rear, and with the aid of
other 9th officer, by threats and enreates rallied
men enough to confront and successfully repel the
charge.
l think this fully answers what Comrade
Aldrich seeks for.-GRAY-SoN st. Louis Mo.
