BILL ANDERSON.

To THE EDITOR; in your issue OF March III
is a communication from JAS M. Russell, Cap
tain. Co. X, LIST Iowa Cav, giving an account
of Bill AndcTsons slaughter Of Union soldiers
at Centralia, Mo-, Sept. q, 1864. That little
sketch is blood -Curdling item, and / imagine
all who read il would like 20 know what ever
became Of Bin Anderson. About 30 days after
the Centralia affair "Old Pap Price" Gen.
Sterling Price, on the south side OF the Mis-
souri, River and Bill Anderson on the north
side moved up the river in conjunction, carry
ing CONSERVATION aud dismay all through that
country. The object of the raid was TO control
the election ia that State that Fall. But the
Union men rallied and gave chase. had but
recently landed in Missouri, having put in
three years in the Army Of the Potomac in the
ranks Of the "a Wis, but Joined ia the chase,
which was commanded by Col. Cox. We came
up with Bill Anders0n's gang at little town
called Albany, about Is miles above Lexington,
on the Missouri River We drove in his pickots
on this side Of town, where they had stopped to
take dinner. On the other side Of town we
halted and dismounted and left our horses in
the edge Of town, and we advanced on foot TO
the edge Of the timber and formed our line,
aud sent a mounted detachment under Lieut.
Baker forward 10 feel them and 10 draw them
out il possible. The plan worked to a charm,
and Bill and his gang charged on Lieut.. Baker
and drove him from the woods lie evidently

on nndsciplined horses, and that 20 stampede
a few would stampede our whole force, and
then they could 'chaw us UP like Virginuy
Niger would cabbage" But we had several
Ole soldiers IN the line and they served 20 quiet
the nerves Of the rest, 80 that the line stood
perfectly solid until BID Anderson got clear TO
our line and then we opened FIRE. Bill fell in
side OF our line shot through the head, and fell
as dead as a stone. The balance of his men
were some little distance in his rear, aud
though we wounded some Of them they got
away, but they left several wounded horses.
We lost one man wounded. Bills carcass was
4 dumped into q lumber wagon and taken back to
4 Richmond and laid in state in the Courthouse
/ for the people 70 gaze on.
There were rumOrs aa0at that Bill had small
/ pieces Of human scalps fastened TO his horse &
bride butall the good, conservative SeeesiOnists
stOutly denied il and said il was not 80. Alas
we found il was so. He bad piece Of human
scalp about an inch and q half in diameter
fastened TO the horses bride at the reset, and
] examined it carefully. The hair was about
seven inches long and Of light auburn color,
and was human hair. Thus ended the career

Gen. A. J. smlth,s FIght from Pontoloe to TupeIO.

To THE EDITOR: As / expected, Comrade
Champln's article on the battle Of Tupelo
Miss, and his announcement to US Of Gen A.
j. Smiths retreat 10 Memphis" has stirred up
and brought 10 the front one Of the brave boys
OF the 33d Wis. Capt Fitch should receive the
heartfelt thanks OF all comrades who partici-
pated in that expedition against Forrest, led
by that gallant old warrior, Gen. A. J. Smith
for his manly criticism Of Comrade Champlin's
article
How well VIC remember that desperate and
deadly struggle at Camargo Crossroads in
which the brave and steady boys Of the old SD
Wis. stood at their posts with unhinching
bravery amid the fiery ordeal and heroieally
struggled for the preservation of the train
under their charge. How vividly the scenes
Of that action return 10 our memory, Of the
decimated ranks comrades falling here and
there, only 10 be replaced by the closing up Of
their more fortunate comrades, and at last
when victory crowned their heroic valor, loud
and long were the shouts Of Joy that rent tho
air in honor Of the brave 33d Wis.
My regiment the 9TH Kan.) was In line of
battle about 30 yards TO the rear Of the 33d,
and we plainly saw the struggle just as ID &C.
CURED but, being cavalry, we were held in
reserve for future action in case of an emer-
| gency. IL seemed hard for us TO sit there in
active on our horses while the heroic 33d boys
were engaged in that desperate and sanguinary
conflict before our eyes, but they proved equal
10 the task assigned them, and sent Forests
veterans whirling from the field.
But that retreat 10 Memphis" claimed by
Comrade Champlin. Where did that come in 7
Can any veteran give plain, unvarnished
statement OF that event. which was unknown
4 and unheard Of in Gen. A. J. Smiths command
| Echo answers, No.
Who docs not remember the brave old Gen
eral on his black PAGER, his long, white hair
streaming in the breeze aud his broad ri mined,
white hat waving above his head, as he dashed
10 and fro upon the battlefield Of Tupelo
Where the fight was the fercest and the shells
and balls few thickest there the brave old
General could be found, issuing his orders, en-
couraging his men, and, as Capt. Fitch ex-
presses il, che took the lead and said Come
and the boys did come every time. A.

The 18th wis. At shiloh.

To THE EDITOR: t. w. Baird. Co. 3. 2fst
Mo-, Clifton, No. in his communication pub
lished in your issue Of Feb 25, 1856. tells us Of
the part taken by the 2Ist at Shiloh, and
think so far as the 2lst and 25th No. are con-
cerned he tells it nearer right than have ever
read it before; but he is all wrong about the
18th Wis boys coming back to camp from the
picket-line during the night. 1t was the four
right companies Of the 18th, not the left battal-
ion, that went out with Col. Moore, of the DIST,
Saturday evening, April 5, and they stayed out
and commenced Sighting as early and fought "a
well and as long as any of the men Of the DIST
No. Capt. SAKE, Of Co. A, 10Th Wis. was killed
farther out than any other officer Of the picket
under Col. MOOre's command. 1 do not claim
that these four companies Of the 10th went ont
any farther than the Dist or fought any better,
but they certainly did 90 as far stay as long,
and fight as we'll
The remaining six companies Of the 18th did
not form on the colOr-line, but formed line Of
battle about 300 yards in front Of the eOl0r-line
with the 18th No. on their left, and held this
position for 20 or so minutes after being at
tackled. This was up to the time when the
second line Of the enemy came up to help their
first line
The four right companies-or what was left
of them after fighting from the picket-line
back TO the line OF battle-fell in position, or
rather they were getting into position in their
fired on US, and at the same time a move was
made TO refuse the right of the regiment, so as
10 bring il on a line with the brigade battery,
9Th Ohio, think. In making this move quite
q number of the boys Went back TO the color
line, not being able to hear orders, but were
soon reformed and brought back by Gen. Prem
tis5 himself The three or four left companies
OF the 10Th Wis. and the 18th Mo. held the line
during this time, and the battery boys got TO
work; but when the second line Of the enemy
came up we all went about, as Comrade Baird
says, like chat.
The 10Th reformed, and was assigned posi-
ton as part of the support Of battery Of four
steel guns near the ri ght Of the Hornets Nest,
which it held from II o'clock a. N. till about
4 o'clock p. Ia, when it assisted in holding the
Johnnes in check till the battery got back
then it went to pieces again.
The 18th No. and 18th Wis belonged in the
brigade, and / think the 18th Iowa, though not
mentioned by Comrade Bdird.--J. 3. KEYEs,
