The Union CoIOrs at Petersburg.

EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: John Han
over, in THE NATIoSAI. TRIBUNE of Oct. z,
says that the Second Brigade, First Division,
Ninth Corps, were the first troops to enter
the city of Petersburg, aud that the LIST and I'd
Mich. were respectively the first regiments to
raise their cOlOrs in the captured city. i think
that is mistake. My own recollection of the
affair agrees with General Orders. No II Ia copy
Of which i have before me as writel, issued
and dated April z, 1865, by Brevet Brig Gen.
c. III. J. Coils, congratulating his soldiers on
the work they had done, and giving them
credit for being the first to enter aud raise the
Union flag in the city. The command was an
unattached brigade, fighting for the time being
with the Ninth Corps, and was composed of the
6lst Mass, 6Sth and 1lith Pa, and Goth n. Y.
The ll4th was at that time Gen. Meade's head
quarters guard. We of the Goth understood at
the time, and have since, that ours were the
first Union colors To be raised in that city.
The regiment entered the city by, think,
Sycamore street, marched down short distance
and was halted. The color bearer and guard
were ordered TO n house where small COnfed-
crate flag was displayed; that was removed and
our own flag raised in its place, where it re-
manned for short time. We were then ordered
TO proceed farther down the street, where we
halted and stacked arms. What time it was
do not know. We were in Petersburg, and a
good many of us were bent on an inspection of
the place and what had been left Some things
we inspected and others we sampled" Among
the latter the writer remembers box of very
fine plug tObaccO.-HIRAM 0LDRoYD Co. Il,

He Thinks Gen. sleklcs Claims Too Much.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / think if
Gen. Sickles would only come out and tell the
whole truth about Gettysburg, instead Of u part,
il would stop the controversy at once, for there
is no member of the grand old Army of the
Potomac but is ever willing and ready TO ac-
knowledge the Generals gallantry and fighting
qualities; but we that were there and took
part know what the army did at that battle,
and that il was three days fight instead of
one, as the Honorable General would imply.
No one, think, will dispute his statements in
general, but in detail they are not correct.
Now, in regard TO the second days fight, he
knows that his corps was driven at all points
in the afternoon, aud that two brigades Of the
Fifth Corps went in TO help him,-Gens Tilton's
and Sweetzer's Brigades,-and even then we
could not hold our own, and only partly checked
the rebel advance. As last resort, one brigade
of the Sixth Corps came in and helped US out.
IL he will only examine the monuments at the
line occupied by his corps he will find those of
the above troops as far to the front as any of
his corps About saving Little Round Top and
It's big brother, if the First aud Eleventh Corps
had not fought the first day where they did
there would not have been any Round Top 10
save.
/ see in your paper Of Aug. % letter from
Gen. Doubleday giving the figures of the men
lost at that battle in the different corps, aud
any one will see that the First, Second and
Eleventh Corps are more than equal 10 the
Third Corps. The loss of the Fifth Corps il
put at 2, lS7 j think il is safe 10 say that more
than half of those were lost ON Gen. Sick
less line. The rest were lost on the Round
Tops, aud do not think Gen. Sickles or any
one else ever saw any other badge but the
Fifth Corps, dead or alive, on either of the
above hils.-N. ;. SWEET, Sergeant, 2d Mass

An Assault on the ssth Wis. Repealed.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Some time
ago Capt. J.. b. WaddingtOn, Co. c, 3Sth Wis,
Madison, Wis, came 10 the front and refuted
the statements Of John w. Morgan, Co. i, l09th
n. Y, Maverley, n. Y, in relation 20 the 3Sth
Wis. dropping their guns and running TO the
rear on the I'd Of April, 1865 at the assault on
Fort Malone. i wish 10 corroborate Capt.
Maddington's statement in full as regards
the 3Sth Wis on that memorable day.
see that John w. Morgan changes his base Of
operations and makes the statement that il was
in November, 1864, while Col. Hartman had
his brigade out on drill, that the 3sth Wis.
dropped their guns and ran for bomb-proofs;
which pronounce equally false.
Since j. W. Morgan has opened the hattie
wish TO fight it out on this line" will give
him one truthful shot at least AT the explo-
sion Of the mine in front of Petersburg Va,
July 30, 1864, the First Brigade, FIRST Divis-
ion, Ninth Corps, led the charge after the ex-
plosion. Shortly after getting into the crater
the General in command came TO the command
ant OF the 3Sth Wis and ordered him 10 form
his regiment in line and lead a charge on the
enemy's lines short distance TO the left and
front of the crater, assuring him that he would
be well supported, and urging him TO take the
line at all hazards; that the l09th n. Y. had
been called upon 10 make the charge but had
refused TO 60. The 3Sth made the charge with
success, but heavy loss, not a man faltering
in his duty, and was well supported, as the
General had said ii would be. The casualties
and sufierings of that days disaster are too
well known 10 those who participated in that
eventinl atiray and came out alive for comment
from my pen.-CHAs. l.. BALLARD. Captain,

GuardIng a Gunboat and prn,lng for the President,

EDITOR NATIONAL Tribune: The gunboat
PASSPORT was built at Mound City, ILL.,, during
the Spring and Summer Of 1862, while was in
command Of the post at that place. My boys
guarded the boat while il was being built.
remember one stormy night, while on the grand
rounds, called on the boys TO see how well
they did their duty. i found all the guards
under the side Of the boat playing cards. They
had a candle for light. i watched them for a
few moments, then turned the light on them
from my daxk lantern, and such a scampering
j never saw. Each one was at his post in short
order. One night found young soldier fast
asleep on his post. lie was only 16 years old.
His name was Cyrus Culver, Of Decatur, ILL.,,
son Of a widow. She had intrusted him 10 my
care and told me TO he good 10 him. promised.
and when j found the poor boy asleep re-
membered her wish. j put another guard in
his place, and that was the last time he ever
went 10 sleep on his post He made brave
soldier; but he now sleeps his last sleep. He
was never well after his return home. The
Eastport was an immense structure, entirely too
large for Red River, and was worthy of better
fate.
Gen. Sherman speaks Of the Right Rev. Mr..
White, Of Memphis, Tenn. was much amused
! during the year Of 1863 when Gen. Hurbut
issued an order 10 the effect that the prayer for
/ the President should be used i'm the Episcopal
church on the next Sunday, or the church would
/ be closed. Quite a number of US attended
church that day. i remember Major Hall, OF
the 56th ILL.,. could hardly wait until the proper
time 10 pray for the President, aud when we
all joined in that prayer more than half Of the
congregation left Immediately but thereafter
! the prayer was used.-S. q. PARKER, Captain

Brave Tenuessceans and Their Gallant Leader.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The constaucy
OF brave regiments who fought side by side and
supported one another i'm victory and defeat

Nashville, in which Hood was defeated / was
on duty that day at division headquarters.
The brigade was one Of the Oldest in the corps
First Brigade, Second Division, Twenty third
Corps-and occupied the extreme infantry
right Of the Federal army. The Sd East Tenn.
occupied the brigade right and front, with
Maj. X. III. Dunn, beardless boy of 20 years,
IN command. The battle line was advancing
under fire when the buglcs called halt. The
entire division halted except this Sd Tenn. In
front OF them a battery had been playing aud
cut down two Of their color bearers. Aids were
sent 10 stop them, but il was no use-the dare
devil Major was seen 10 reach from his horse and
seize the dag from the ground as il fell from
the hands OF lis bearer whose head had been
blown of, aud lifting il high, rose with yell,
spurred has horse through the advancing line
OF brave mountainous right up the hill into
the very mouths Of the guns. His regiment,
IS yards away, was hurrying up on Il dead
run. The horse aud his rider stood out ina bold
relief on the hill, aud 30 feet away the battery
made a grim background. With our National
flag the dauntlcss rider saluted the army and
the next moment waved the banner over the
cannon. The brave regiment was enVel0ped in
the smoke Of battle. This was too much and
the brigade without orders charged 10 the aid
Of their comrades When at last we were or
dered 10 advance we met more prisoners re-
turning than the Second Brigade numbered

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Will you al
low me a little space in your excellent paper TO

COmrade Magee is emphatically in the right,

he belonged at that time j have TO say that the
Army OF the Cumberland fought the battle Of
Chickamanga alone and unaided. IL was COM

Cumberland was reinforced by the Eleventh

mac aud two corps from the Army of the
Tennessee. This combination was the force
used 10 relieve Chattanooga. After that event
the old Twentieth and Twenty-frst Corps
were consolidated, and We're afterwards
known as the Fourth Corps. The old
Eleventh and Twelfth Corps were also

Genius for Hard Work.
A friend Of the great novelist, man
who had given promise Of mobile career
as an author, but who through indo-
lence had failed in doing any permanent
work, called upon him one morning,
and, after bewailing his ill success, end
ed by signing; '.Ah, if only were gifted
with your genius!' Dickens. who had
listened patiently to the complaint, ex-
claimed at once in answer: Genius.
sir! do not know what you mean. I
had no genius save the genius for hard
work. However his enthusiastic add
mirers may dispute this, certain it is
that Dickens trusted to no such uncer-
tain light as the fire of genius. Day in
and day out, by hard work. he elaborat-
ed the plot, character and dialogue Of
his imperishable stories. Whole days he
would spend to discover suitable locali-
ties, and then be able to give vividness
to his description of them, while, sem
tence by sentence his work, after his ap-
parent completion, was re-touched and
revised. The great law of labor makes
no exception of the gifted or ignorant.
Whatever the work may be, there can
be no success in it without diligent, un-
ceasing, persevering labor.--Baptist
