The Sixteenth Corps Mt Mobile.

To THE EDITOR: In your issue of Oct. %
1885 notice "Tbe Capture of Mobile Ala"
by John w. Fry, Add Ohio. l beg to differ with
the writer He mentions Gen. Changers and
Gen. Steele's Corps as having done all the work
/ am surprised that he has forgotten Ma. Gen
A. j. Smith, commanding the Sixteenth Corps
one of the Oldest truest and bravest officers Of
the u. S. army, and one who stands second to
none. However, do not wish to make a long
story of it, but will correct some of the state
ments made.
The Sixteenth Corps, commanded by Gen. A.
J. Smith did most of the fighting before Span
sh Fort and Blakey. The First Division,
commanded by Gen. Eugene Carr, operated in
front of Spanish Fort and captured it, the troops
of that division making the general attack and
final capture. The Second Division, COM
manded by Gen. kenna Garrard, operated in
front of Blakely, and the undersigned, COM
handing the 17Sth n. Y, attached to the First
Brigade, Second Division, Sixteenth Corps, on
night of April 6, 1865, was ordered, with his
regiment REINFORCED by the Il think 51st Ill.
and 10th Kan, to capture the rebel rifle pits
directly in front of Blakely, and succeeded in
capturing them that night after pretty brisk
engagement, and held them until the 9th of
April, when the Second Division, commanded
by Gen. Kenna Garrard, was massed in columns
of brigades. l. being in the First Brigade and
my regiment in the center, made the final as
sault on Blakeley which resulted in the cap
ture April g. 1865. / state this as by the article
named the writer does an injustice to Gen. A.
j. Smith, his officers and the Sixteenth Corps.

Who WAS Uef

To THE EDITOR: The story Of Uncle Dan
iel {" brings very fOrcibly to mind an incident
of the war which l think had something to do
with the great conspiracy which the Conteder
acy was working up in the North. j was captured
and held in confinement i'll six rebel prisons At
Savannah we were under the charge of Lieut.
Samuel Davis, with whom became personally
acquainted. We were afterward sent to Milen
and Davis was lost sight of by me until some
time in February, 1865. After my release,
was furloughed home, where remained some
six weeks, when was declared duly exchanged
and was ordered to report to Camp Chase, O.
While on my way with other comrades, who
should we discover on the same train
but this same Lieut.. Samuel Davis
He was soon made prisoner and turned
over to the Provost Guard. After reaching
Columbus, o., when he was in the guard house,
! called on him. He recognized me immedi-
atcly and called me by name, saying that he
once had me as prisoner, bat now we had him.
He had been to Canada on some secret mission,
and would have succeeded in getting back to
Dixie had it not been for the cX-prisoners who
were on the train with him and recognized him.
This must have been about the time "Thom-
linson" had his meeting appointed at st.
Catharnes, Can, and think &C. G. Carey !"
must have been this Lieut.. Davis from Rich
mond. AS he had told lie before my release
that he had very influential friends in the
rebel army, and US he was young, such a mission
for him would have been just such an enterprise
as he would have liked to engage in. / after
ward learned he was condemned rs a spy and
sentenced to be hung, but was finally reprieved
by the noble hearted Lincoln.-JoHN L. RICH

Lufkin's "Rccollcctions Of Life on Ship Island, -
and was reminded OF one incident, which the
comrade will undoubtedly remember, which he
omitted.
We were drilling one day on the sand bar at
low tide, the entire division having been called
out. An order from the commanding General
at the head Of the column, was given to right
shoulder shift a:ms!" AS soon as the COM
mand farms" was given, the first two or three
regiments who were III hearing distance,
promptly executed the movement. The bal
ance of the division, including the three West
ern regimcnts-the 9Th Wis, 9th Mich. and
2Ist Ind.-who had not heard the order, were
awaiting the arrival of the dashing young dude
Lieutenant Of the Generals staff who belonged,
l think, to 4 Connecticut regiment, who came
galloping along down the column, yelling at
the top of his voice. right shoulder shift
right shoulder shift" He reached the rear
of the column, and, whirling around, galloped
back still continuing to yell right shoulder
Shift" AS he passed the three Western regi-
ments he shouted to them &c d you
Western men, why the h don't you right
shoulder shift"
1t was only after he reported to the General
that he discovered he omitted to give the COM
mand "arms," which was the reason his orders
were not obeyed. Ever after this, when our
Connecticut Lieutenant made his appearance
among the Western men, he was greeted with
the familiar words right shoulder shift, -
which became a byword, and was heard in
every regiment day and night on all parts of
the Island.-A. G. MERRILL, @. NJ. Serg't, 9th

THE NATIONAL HOME.
The Proposed New Western Branch.

To THE EDITOR: A bill has been introduced
in the Senate for an additional branch of the Sol
diers' Home to be located in of several States
or Territories mentioned therein That these
Homes must be multiplied is evident from the re-
port of the Board of Managers, it appearing that
those already established are overcrowded and
unable to accommodate those now applying for
admission. 1t is also an established fact that
this great Nation will care for her veteran SOL
diers, and the people both North and South
are far in advance of their Representatives in
Congress in all measures tending to that end.
1t is also apparent to all who will give this
subject thought that these Homes are not
only for to-day and the veterans of past wars,
but they will endure during the Nations life
and afford shelter for the survivors of future
wars that will come for come they must, or
our history will be unlike that of any other
people. The money then that is expended in
building these Homes is permanent invest
ment as much so as the Capitol buildings, and
cannot be charged altogether to the last war
But argument in favor is work of supereroga-
ton. The object of this is to point out loca-
tion national i'll its character and open to no
objection as favoring any locality-that Is, the
National Park at the Mammoth Hot Springs.
Your readers must all be aware of its location,
and that here are grounds belonging to the
Nation, and the coming pleasure grounds for
the world.
These springs are the largest known, already
celebrated for their medicinal virtues, and the
surroundings are the grandest that nature
affords. This park must be cared for, improved
and polced by the Government, and in every
way made worthy of the people who have set it
apart for worlds inspection There must be
force of police guides guards, etc, that will
increase with years, and who better quallhed
for these services than veteran soldiers? The
park is already reached by two railroads, viz,
the Northern Pacific and Utah & Northern,
with two more pointing in that direction;
therefore, Immediate quick and certain access
is assured. Another point in favor is here the
veteran would be free from the soldiers bane-

THE IRON BRIGADE.
Gen. Gibbon Tells What He Knows About 1t


To THE EDITOR: Please publish the inclosed
letter written in reply to one sent by me to
Gen. Gibbon in regard TO the Iron Brigade:
HEADQRs, DEPARTMENT OF THE COLUMBIA, I
VANCOUVER BARRACKS, w. T., Dec q, 1885.
DEAR SIR: have your letter of the 9Th inst.
The brigade composed of the Cd, 9th and eth Wis
and 10Th Ind. organized early in the Fall of
1861.
DO not know who first suggested the name of
Iron Brigade" for it, but believe ii started
soon after the battle of Antetam.
To attempt TO prOre the right to n name applied
by general consent, is calculated TO throw doubt
upon its Legitimacy.
Very truly, yours JOHN GIBBoN.
Mr. ANDREW BALLwEG, Bath, Brown Co., ID. Il.
This ought TO settle once for all the Iron BIZ
gade question, as it fully indorscs the position
taken by j. +. Kelley, Co. b, 9th Wis, namely,
the ID 9th and 9TH Wis, 10Th Ind. and 9th

Antictam, in less than one month after their
muster into service and from that time in
nearly every battle in which the Army of the
Potomac was engaged, eliminating with sur
render of Gen. Lees army. The casualties of
the regiment during its three years service
