EDITOR NATIoSAL TRIBUNE: / saw in your
paper the reply of Col. Berdan to Col. Lakeman.
The Third Corps was at Emmittsburg on the
LIST of July, 1868, aud was ordered to double
quick to Gettysburg after noon, the distance
being about 10 miles. did not keep up with
the regiment, but slept, alone. under some trees
near a ravine between the Emmittsburg road
and Round Top.
Weary early in the morning / started toward
Gettysburg, aud after going about half a mile
metmy regiment skirmishing toward me- They
told me that they were looking for rebels, and
that the rear of the night before was then the
front. fell into line, and soon there was a
call for scouts, two from a company. / volun-
teered as one and Corp. Congdon was the other.
We went out ahead of the skirmishers until we
were on the Emmittsburg road to the left of a
wood, on rise of ground. Our Adjutant rode
up and we told him that the rebels were mass
ing troops in the woods at our right This was
at p. m He said that he would report to Gen.
Birney, rs the General had sent him to find out
if we had seen anything Of the enemy
Soon the Corporal decided that one of MS must
60 back and report the massing, as the Adjutant
might have been captured. He had gone up
the road which must have been very close to
the rebel line. Accordingly, he went back to
report and staid until the charge commenced
and, indeed, too long, for was cut oil and taken
prisoner. After reading Col. Lakeman's report,
all of Berdans SharpsnOoters must feel indig-
nant; / am sure that | do The LIST Sharp
shooters were TO the right of our regiment on
the skirmish-line, and the first fire that day
was directed at them. Some of them were up
in cherry trees eating cherries, and were the
first to be seen by the rebel pickets or skirmish-

Another Regiment that Captured Gen. Walker.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The Tooth
N. Y. was one Of the regiments that composed
the First Brigade, First Division, Tenth Corps.
at the time Gen. Walker was captured, aud we
had finger in that pie Gen. Walker was
commanding Alabama aud Georgia troops, aud,
AS we understood from prisoners, was selected
by Gen. Lee 10 capture Gen. Buffers breast
works il possible. lie told his men, as some of
them told us, that he would take possession of
the Yankee guns by 6 o'clock that day or land
IN HI" lie did not get possession OF the guns
or any part Of our line, aud as 10 his landing
place j am unable TO say.
He was brave officer, riding at the head of
his brigade. His troops broke in disorder and
left him exposed and alone. The 9th Ohio
was at our left. Gen. Walker was ordered by
some Of the 9th and by Co. Of the Tooth
n. Y. 10 surrender He replied, "Ill see you
in HI first, and il was always understood aud
told by the members of our regiment that the
9th Ohio fired first. Our company (A) did
more shooting, however Gen. Walker was
afterward taken 10 our camp with some other
wounded prisoners. / was standing with others
looking at him when George B. Dandy, Colonel
Of the Tooth n. Y, came riding by, recognized
him and stopped, and they talked TO each other.
They were old acquaintance. The Colonel
sent for our Surgeon aud the 9Th Conn Sur
geon, who amputated his leg, aud the next
morning he was taken inside Of the rebel lines.

The History Of the HIghIanders.

EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: | have re-
ceived copy of Comrade Todd's History of the
18th Highlanders, n. Y. Vols. will say that
it is the most interesting book of the kind /
ever read. Ii takes a soldier back to the days
when he wore the hayeOcks. 1t gives true
account OF all the battles that the regiment
participated in, and also mentions all other
regiments that were engaged with the High
landers. The authors account of the battle of
Chantilly is the most correct that / have seen
in any history Of the war.
i have always considered that the troops
under Gems. Stevens and Kearny never re-
ceiyed due credit for checking the enemy after
they had gained position so near our line of
retreat. Many have never realized the impor-
lance Of the battle Of Chantilly, or how near
the enemy came to cutting us of in our retreat
from Centcrville.
Comrade Todd gives the best account of the
siege of Knoxville yet published. Unlike
Carleton" he is willing to give credit to other
regiments that We're engaged during the siege,
and which occupied and assisted in the defense
eh Fort Sanders. For instance, the I'd Mich,
which Carleton" entirely ignores. Every
comrade who participated in the Tennessee
campaign should read the book. 1t will be in
teresting for those who were not in the army.
as il is full of anecdotes and gives one an idea
how a soldier Jared in camp and at the 'front.'
