To THE EDITOR: The battle of Wise's Forks
near Kinston, N. C., known in some reports as
the battle Of Wilcox's Bridget was fought on
the 9Th, 9Th and 10th Of March, 1866, by q nor
tion Of the Twenty-third Corps, under the
immediate command OF Gen. J. ID. Cox. against
q superior force under Gen. Bragg, who hoped

The Firtf 70 Land At RruInshnrr.

To THE EDITOR: desire to relate through
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE what / remember
about our landing &C Bruinsburg on April 80,
1858. The l20th Ohio, with perhaps some
other portions of 0sterhaus's Division, were on
board the transport Silver Wave, the same boat
that We had been on the day before during the
fight between the gLnboats and the rebel bat
teries at Grand Gulf. The gunboat Tuscum-
bia. on which were Gems. Grant, McClernand,
Commodore Porter, and some other officers,
was also loaded with troops, and was alongside
OF rs as the Silver Wave rounded-to" for q
landing. The two vessels were 30 close to-
gether that heard much Of the conversation
between Gen. Grant and others in relation to
the roads leading from there and Rodney toward
jackson. When word was given on the Silver
Wave to shove out a plank" / was on the
bow of the boat, and the plank being showed
oat ran out on the plank with my gun in my
hand ahead Of the man with the line and
jumped on shore. Some one from the Tuscum-
bia called out 10 me to ego up the bank and
see what is behind the leyee," which did, but
found no levee-only fence overgr0wn with
weeds and bushes. i called back that there
was fine meadow On which TO camp. The
Tuscumbia also rounded TO and made fast as did
all Of the feet as soon as they came into posi-
ton. When / went ashore no one from the
feet had landed yet, and the Silver Wave being
the first to make landing, the troops on her
were the first to begin to debark. but before all
were on shore from the Silver Wave those on
the Tuscumbia began 10 debark think troops
on the Tuscumbis belonged TO the Seventeenth
Corps. i know that all on the Silver Wave be-
longed to the Thirteenth Corps-Jos. MYERS,

What became or DAT CvlIua G.mm,,,

To THE EDITOR: have watched the COL
umRs Of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE in vain TO
see line from one of the LIST Ohio boys. If it
would not be asking too much would like to
inquire after that little squad that went out
foraging that dark night down in Old Kentuck,
near Muldraugh's Hill, in 49, after fat hog that
had been spied by one Of Co. @, who reported
TO his mess the whereabouts of said porker.
The porker was in small box pen SKIS with
door just large enough to admit 2o0-pound
hog or l50-pound darkey that the boys had
taken along to dress and help in to camp with
the hog. The darkey was ordered to slip quietly
down through the roof of the pen and drive
the hog out at the small door, where sentinel
was placed with ak in hand and with instruc-
tons to fire on porker as he made his exit out
Of the door. But some naughty Louisville
Legion Tor 9th Ky.) had been there, and porker
was gone. If any of that squad survives and
secs this, they will do the writer kindness to
explain what became of "dat dar cullud GEM
man" who came crawling out Of that hole

To THE EDITOR: have been a reader of

years-have not missed a number When say
il is the best soldier paper in existence, only
state what everybody knows to be fact that
reads il. have read all about the capture of
De Gresss Battery Who First Entered Column
bia and Little Rock, Who Planted the First Flag
on Mission Ridge, Lookout Mountain, etc, and
who did not and all sicl. am very much in
terested in 81 Klegg, and know the man who
writes that article has "been thar" "The Army
Mule" is good. The dialect can't be beat by
any corn-cracker in the whole Southern Con-
federacy. Besides, there are a great many
splendid articles from old comrades on almost
all kinds Of topics connected with the army 1t
is all right to write Up the Army Mule" and
give this regiment or that regiment credit for
all and more than 10 did. don't kick ON that
at all. But do think there was class of
human beings who took very active part in the
rebellion who have not received Justice from the
hands or pens Of our numerous war historians;
at least have been unable to see where they
have been faithfully and truly written up and
placed beside the heroes that always got there
first and planted all the first flags, etc-that is
in history. / refer, Mr.. Editor, to the meek
and innocent mule whacker. think it high
time that old tardy justice was getting in her
work on the man that could swear a six-mule
team out of a mudhole 10 feet deep when they
out but their ears. 1t is a well-known fact that
the old professional mule driver could do that
act in less time than Il takes to tell it. 1t is all
well enough to give big pensions and erect large
monuments to our great Generals for their skill
in handling an army. But does not the festive
mule whscker deserve praise Of he can't get big
pensions and monuments for his skill in get
ting out of the mud and turning his six mule
team around on less ground than they could
stand on? In my four years experience in the
army never knew mule whacker to receive
any mark Of distinction, except the NJ. ID. made
Of little cheap tape sewed on his blouse sleeve,
or occasionally mark over the eye from the
of-leader's heels.
come out and raise my voice in behalf Of
the old mule whacker, and ask that justice be
done him by our historians, and would like
that some comrsde who can do the subject JUS
tice como out and write history of the truly
pious and innocent mule whacker.-W. +.

The Battle Of Cold Harhor.

To THE EDITOR: Perusing an article in THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE OF recent date, signed by
E. Barber, Co. G, 112th N. Y, one would think
that the l12th did all the fighting at Cold Har-
Dor in 1864. As matter of fact, and to correct
the impression thus conveyed, desire to state
that the 115th N. Y. (of which 1 was q men,
ber), and the 47th and 48th N. Y, of Barton's
Brigade, including the 18th Ind, were all in
the Cold Harbor siege, and had the brunt of the
fight all day. 1t was fearful encounter, but
we held our own and finally gained the day. /
would say that the 18th Ind. and the II5th
N. Y. took three lines of works. The 115th
numbered 200 men, and took $50 prisoners and
lost 90 men. All that won the battle for us was
the entering the charge with unfixed bayonets,
when the Johnnies supposed We had seven
shooters. When they noticed that we did not
in fact have the seven shooters, they showed
unmistakable signs of the greatest anger and
chagrin. After surrendering and learning of
the above oversight on the part of our regi-
ment many of the prisoners remarked, "What
fools wc were.-CHARLEs w. SCHARFF,

brigade, led by Gen. Thsyer and the gallant
Col. Williamson on foot, did cross the bayou
Dec 20, 1862. The writer knows whereof he
speaks, for he trotted right along next man to
Gen. Thayer as we double-quicked by the flank
across the bayou. For some reason the rest OF
the brigade did not follow us across, and conse-
quently we were over there, without support,
among rebels by the thousands. But we did
not stay longer than We could help. Some of
the boys had to hug the ground till after dark
